Cocoon communities: Togetherness in the 21st century

In this volume, we wish to look at a special case of togetherness, which we propose to call cocoon communities. Cocoon communities neither represent nor correspond to the ideal-type of community. At first sight, they do not seem to have much in common with communal characteristics. Such communities may actually be invisible for outsiders, yet a closer look might reveal some substantial similarities with ‘canonical’ forms of community.

The Earth, The Vital Issue of the 21st century

We will be looking at all aspects of this multi-dimensional signifier connected to India and Africa : earth as a metaphor: a mystic symbol, the womb of humanity ; earth as land – territory, homeland, to have and to hold and to guard at the risk of one’s life ; earth the element : the soil which nourishes us, to which we ultimately must return ; earth – mankind’s victim or treasure – to be exploited ruthlessly or cherished lovingly? We welcome papers that explore any of the many facets of this element from academics working in the fields of Cultural Studies, Literature, History, Sociology, Film, Music, Art, Linguistics, Politics.

International Political Sociology (IPS)

IPS Doctoral Workshops

The Doctoral Workshops initiative is the result of the cooperation in the areas of research and graduate teaching between Sciences Po, PUC-Rio, King's College and Univesity of Victoria during the last three years. It represents an attempt to enhance and structure the ongoing cooperation between these institutions to create the core of a network of institutions promoting a different way to do and to learn International Relations called International Political Sociology.The workshop will investigate the large spectrum of methods going beyond or against the diktat of rational choice theory in IR, ranging from discourse analysis, ethnographic methods, actor-network theory, approaches of limits and boundaries, genetic structuralism, socio-history. The workshop will gather researchers and students who, in the course of their research, are facing the problems posed by the impossibility of shifting from the “national” to the “global” and who consider the international as a central question that determines the conditions of possibility of political practices.

Bringing Public Organization and Organizing Back In

The Sixth Organization Studies Summer Workshop

As a field of research, organization studies is interdisciplinary, even ecletic, favoring multiple objects, methods, and levels of analysis. Yet, over time, it appears that some of the disciplines involved in this field have grown increasingly unaware of one another. Such is the case for studies and research dealing with public policymaking, public administration, and political regimes. This call for papers and workshop wish to break down these disciplinary silos, by putting the emphasis on the reconfiguration of knowledge frontiers and research agendas between public administration, policy making, and organization studies, as well as between public, non-profit and business organizations and organizing.

Gender Roles in Wartime

Dynamization Of Gender Roles in Wartime: An East European Perspective on World War II and its Aftermath

While numerous studies have explored the effects of the occupying regimes on the respective societies, the impact of World War II on Gender relations has generally been treated as a rather marginal issue. In recent years, however, some important studies have been published shining light on various aspects of gender relations in times of war in Twentieth-Century Eastern Europe, and focusing on women as perpetrators, e.g. as “Agents of Germanization” (Harvey 2003), or as victims of sexual violence .The conference intends not only to piece the existing puzzle together, but to explore the interplay of World War II and gender roles in East Europe in a broad context.
