  Student movements and (post-)colonial emancipations

  Transnational itineraries, dialogues and programmes

  This conference will discuss the transnational and connected history of student engagements in colonial liberations and the critical reflection on the multilateral management of conflicts in the postcolonial period. It will investigate internal and external tensions, and the reorganisation of these movements in relation to pacifism, revolutionary struggle, conflict prevention and peace making. It will also consider the impact of the new multilateral management of conflicts (through the United Nations, but also the European Union) on European and North American societies, including on young people and student movements, whose membership often goes far beyond national spheres.

  Society, culture, community in the United Kingdom (1970-79)

  This two-day conference focusing on British society of the 1970s seeks to enlarge and to alter perspectives on the period. The intention is to examine the dynamic of contradiction, inventiveness and tensions that is at work. The intention of the conference-organizers is to circumvent and thus question any “teleological” or linear reading of the period in terms of the necessary “coming of Thatcherism” in the United Kingdom, where the politics and culture of the period are read as so many symptoms or omens of the 1979 election result. The aim is to focus on the plurality of conflicting possibilities evident in the period, and therefore on the contingency of outcomes.

  Social sciences and society. New sites, discourses and practices of diversity and citizenship

  Interdisciplinary approaches and European perspectives

  La notion de diversité, une notion ancienne mais toujours d’intérêt dans l’espace scientifique et de l’action sociale, interroge aujourd’hui le renouvellement de nos façons de concevoir et de produire le vivre ensemble, nos mondes partagés, ainsi que les normes et valeurs définissant nos sociétés. Dans quelle mesure la notion de diversité – ses manifestations, ses représentations, ses politiques – est-elle toujours d’actualité comme analyseur des questions et défis de nos sociétés, des formes renouvelées de citoyenneté ?

  The museum and its environment - the contours of the museum space

  3rd study for doctoral students in museum studies at Paris 3-Sorbonne Nouvelle

  Toute institution muséale s’inscrit dans un contexte – social, géographique, économique, politique, etc. –  et est amenée à affirmer son identité et sa place dans ce contexte en traçant les contours de son espace. Ce processus de négociation des frontières et des limites s’opère au travers de multiples médiations et compromis. L’analyse du musée ne peut donc s’affranchir d’une réflexion sur ce qui l’entoure et sur les relations que celui-ci entretient avec ce qui se situe en dehors de lui.

  The making of Muslim chaplaincies in prisons

  Comparative approaches

  In France, prison chaplain activities are currently under hitherto unforeseen scrutiny in the scope of public action and academic fields. This renewed interest in an institution that seemed to be on the verge of falling into disuse little more than two decades ago in France, can be explained by the upheaval that the religious profile of inmates has undergone in the past three or four decades. Moreover Muslim chaplains have been seen as a policy tool for preventing radicalisation.In a context where there is widespread interest in the role chaplains could play in the fight against the swing to violent extremism, this symposium will seek to review the way in which Muslim actors in France and in other countries have made use of this institution even though it does not belong to their own religious tradition.

  A Diplomacy to promote an emerging economy

  Le développement implique un processus de libération et de transformation de l’ensemble des structures notamment mentales, politiques, socio- économiques, culturelles et technologiques. Au Cameroun, le Chef de l’État a proposé à ses concitoyens comme challenge, une vision devant mener le pays vers l’émergence à l’horizon 2035. Ce projet exige la contribution de tous les secteurs et l’implication de toutes les catégories nationales. Au plan sectoriel, la diplomatie, domaine de souveraineté par excellence, ne peut être qu’un pilier majeur de cette conquête.

  Transições. Percursos, linguagens e estruturas em tempos de mudança

  O ritmo acelerado das mudanças históricas marcou a época contemporânea e, em particular, as últimas cinco décadas. No âmbito do século XX, sucederam-se experiências de mudança com tipologias e relevâncias variáveis, tendo afectado não só as estruturas (estados, instituições, partidos, etc) como também os indivíduos e a própria linguagem. Poderá, assim, afirmar-se que as mudanças, ou as transições, numa interpretação mais abrangente do termo, foram centrais nos processos históricos. Contudo, poucas propostas oferecidas pela ciência histórica têm refletido sobre este fenómeno – as transições e as suas consequências – num contexto geográfico e temporal alargado.

  Africa and the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) - reviving relations

  Vers des relations renouvelées !

  Aujourd’hui les pays émergents s’invitent à la table des décideurs, ce qui s’est traduit par la transformation du club des pays riches-le G7- en G20, lors du sommet de Londres en décembre 2008. Ces nouveaux joueurs s’engagent désormais dans une nouvelle ère de redistribution du pouvoir politique et géopolitique qui n’est finalement que la consécration d’une redistribution des cartes mondiales dans les domaines humain, économique, technologique et des ressources naturelles.Dans ce nouveau monde en mutation, les relations avec l’Afrique connaissent une nouvelle impulsion compte tenu du rôle de plus en plus éminent dans le commerce, l’investissement, le financement et la gouvernance à l’échelle mondiale des pays émergeants.

  Temporalities and sports

  "Temporalités" Journal no. 25 (2017/1)

  Be it from a regulatory perspective or through a specific schedule of events, sports are related to different kinds of temporalities. From there, one can classify competitive sport along three different types of relationship to time. But may there be temporalities specific to sport or to different practices of sports, and if yes, how can these be characterized? Beyond the « temporalities of sports », all the links between « temporalities and sports » are indeed to be questioned, including historical time (Elias), biographical time (the learning, the mastering of differents sports, careers in sports), institutional time (implying homogenisation through world-scale timetables), media time (and its economic calculations), etc.

  Neoliberalism in the Anglophone world

  References to neoliberalism in Anglophone scholarly research are commonplace, and have increased exponentially over the past couple of decades. Despite (or perhaps because of) such promiscuity, however, the term itself has been prone to inflation, and for some it has become an “overblown” concept that tends to be applied (in an invariably disapproving way) to pretty much anything today. This conference aims at presenting a critical overview of issues related to neoliberalism in the Anglophone world. It will be broad in scope by covering British, American and the other English-speaking areas, as well as the fields of civilisation, literature and linguistics, while maintaining a thematic focus on the concept of neoliberalism from international and interdisciplinary perspectives.

  The doctrines and realities of happiness - 1st Angers conference, BonDroit

  Ire rencontre d'Angers - BonDroit

  Ce colloque constitue la première manifestation scientifique du projet de recherche sur le bonheur, subventionné par la Région des Pays de la Loire. Ce programme qui a pour titre « BonDroit » (acronyme de Bonheur et Droit) est mis en place depuis janvier 2016 et s’étale sur une durée de quatre ans. Il ambitionne de faire de la thématique du bonheur et du bien-être social un thème-référence de la région Pays de la Loire. L’enjeu de la « Première rencontre d’Angers - Doctrine et réalité(s) du bonheur » est de poser les jalons de la réflexion sur la notion de bonheur, très peu appréhendée par le droit, en s’appuyant dans un premier temps sur les réflexions déjà engagées par les économistes.
