Experimental Methods in Communication
Revue ESSACHESS volume 6, n°1
Experimental methods are increasingly employed in Information and Communication Sciences (ICS). The coordinators of Essachess – Journal of Communication Studies want to offer in this issue a progress report on “Experimental methods in communication”. Indeed, in a set of relevant disciplines in the Humanities and Social Sciences, the epistemological interest for these approaches and their complementary input is widely recognized. We want to address the question extremely important for ICS, especially within the French setting: In what theoretical frameworks, for which subjects, and under what conditions are these methods employed and do they prove relevant? -

Marshall G.S. Hodgson, Islam and World History
Ce colloque permettra de revenir sur l'œuvre de G. S. Marshall Hodgson (1922-1968), un des plus grands historiens américains de l'Islam et par ailleurs un géographe de génie et un des premiers grands penseurs de l'histoire globale. Lors des quatre séances d'une demi-journée chacune, il sera question de l'apport de Hodgson comme islamologue ; de sa manière d'avoir « inventé » ou pratiqué l'histoire globale au sein du « Comittee on Social Thought » de l'Université de Chicago ; du caractère créatif en historiographie, notamment dans les années 1950 et 1960 ; et pour finir, l'état de l'histoire globale de nos jours. -

Norms, Institutions and Illegal Economic Practices in Mediterranean Europe (16th-19th centuries)
La relation entre normes, institutions et développement économique fait l'objet d'importantes recherches récentes de la part des historiens et des économistes. L'atelier sur la « fraude » affronte cette question en proposant d'étudier, à partir des fréquentes pratiques illégales des acteurs sociaux, la régulation croissante du commerce méditerranéen à l'époque du mercantilisme. -

Miscellaneous information - Ethnology, anthropology
AfrikPlay – Filmes à Conversa | Chat and a movie is a new project presenting films focused in contemporary Africa, organized by CRIA (Network Centre for Anthropology Research) | ISCTE-IUL and Center of African Studies (CEA-IUL) | ISCTE-IUL. Being a ‘work in progress’, aims to bring cinema to the university, opening space for debate and reflection around films that present a innovative look on Africa.The growth of cinematographic productions about Africa has highlighted a number of films that set themselves apart from classical documentary concepts, either in their subjects of interest and chosen aesthetic language, approaching other artistic fields and merging reality with fiction. Some questions arouse our interest: what is the relationship between ‘yesterday’s images and the ones these new generations choose to see in Africa? How these fresh revelations defy our understanding of such a vast and complex continent? -

Norms in the Margins and Margins of the Norm
The Social Construction of Illegality
The conference "Norms in the Margins and Margins of the Norm, The Social Construction of Illegality" proposes to reflect on the relations between the dynamics of criminalization and the construction of state powers, on the one hand, and on criminal strategies – legal or not –, moral economies in the illegal spheres, the ploys and tactics of “deviant” groups on the other hand. -

Conference, symposium - Ethnology, anthropology
Psychotic Experiences, Religion, and Spirituality
This conference is centered on reported or observed psychotic experiences and discusses the ways in which religious and spiritual idioms are mobilized by patients, as well as by medical and psychological practitioners and religious healers in their therapeutic relations. Overall, the conference covers a significant variety of social, institutional and cultural contexts. As an expected result, we should be able to better understand the ways in which culture and social institutions contribute to the shaping of individual psychotic experience, and how they create dynamics of integration and exclusion. In addition, by inviting social scientists and medical practitioners to confront their perspectives, we would like to question what appears to be the underlying constructivist stance on many recent perspectives on religious experience and spirituality linked to psychotic states. -

Beyond Brezhnevism: Growing Autonomy for Social Groups and Assimilation of Socialist Values
Cahiers du Monde russe (special issue 2014)
L'image du « socialisme réél » comme ère de la « stagnation » disparaît peu à peu des études sur l'Union soviétique. Ce sont bien plutôt les transformations culturelles et sociales manifestes à l'ère brejnévienne qui sont aujourd'hui l'objet d'un renouvellement historiographique. En même temps, les processus socio-culturels qui s'épanouissent pendant les années 1964-1982 obéissent à des temporalités propres qui précèdent ou débordent les bornes chronologiques de la direction brejnévienne. Les CMR souhaitent remettre doublement en cause le « brejnévisme », à la fois comme incarnation de la « stagnation » et comme cadre temporel et spatial strictement borné, inadapté à l'étude des évolutions sociales, culturelles et économiques profondes qui amenèrent les bouleversements de la seconde moitié des années 1980 et l'effondrement de l'URSS. -

1st International Conference on Anthropology and Urban Conflict
Desertions, Counter-movements, and Forced Mobilizations in the Contemporary City
The aim of this conference is to make an inventory and to analyze, from different ethnographic approaches, those often invisible phenomena of daily or extraordinary disobedience designed for, or inspired by, a rejection of spatial, economic, political, and social order. However, in order to identify them as mechanisms aimed at denouncing a particular order, we must approach these by looking at concepts that synthesize at once the processes that impose a homogeneous order as well as the practices that challenge it. -

Conflict, conflict resolution, political change, representations
En 1982, un gouvernement dictatorial aux abois lance une opération militaire d’envergure pour occuper les Iles Malouines (Falkland) qui, depuis 1833, étaient en possession du Royaume-Uni. Ce conflit inédit dans l’Atlantique Sud (l’Argentine avait déclaré sa neutralité pendant la première et la deuxième guerres mondiales) durera plus de deux mois (du 2 avril au 14 juin) jusqu’à la capitulation des forces argentines devant une contre-offensive du Royaume-Uni qui a surpris tous ceux qui croyaient qu’il n’avait plus la capacité ni la volonté nécessaires pour mener à bien une telle intervention à presque 13 000 km de distance. -
