  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.

  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.

  The Falklands War 30 years on

  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.

  Rethinking urban inclusion. Spaces, mobilizations, interventions

  The Conference aims to understand and ultimately rethink social inclusion at the urban scale, as the product of broader dynamics and the interaction of different actors and languages. It will focus on emerging modes of contesting the centrality of the state and market pervasiveness, new varieties of counter-hegemonic positions and projects, and alternative visions of urban democracy and justice that inform bottom-up and participatory approaches to urban inclusion. By mixing academic with social movement and civil society “expertise,” experiences of both the global North and the global South, and the languages of social science and policy with those of the humanities and art, the Conference aims to contribute to an “ecology of knowledges” that gives visibility to new forms of collective action and community experimentation reshaping contemporary cities in different contexts.

  What about History then? Assessment of the role of history in Indian Studies

  L’objectif de cette journée d’études est de reprendre la réflexion autour de la place de l’histoire dans les études indiennes et de ses relations avec les autres disciplines au sein d’un laboratoire d’aires culturelles tel que le CEIAS. C’est là une question qui a déjà occupé plusieurs historiens du Centre par le passé mais qui est loin d’être épuisée et reste d’actualité au vu de la place marginale que l’histoire continue d’occuper au sein des études indiennes en France et, parallèlement, de la faible visibilité de l’Inde dans la recherche et l’enseignement de l’histoire. Il s’agira de dresser un bilan des pistes explorées par les historiens actifs au CEIAS depuis sa fondation et du dialogue noué tant avec d’autres spécialistes de l’Inde qu’avec des historiens travaillant sur d’autres « terrains », mais aussi de réfléchir ensemble sur les perspectives ouvertes par l’évolution actuelle de la discipline historique en France qui semble enfin sortir de son traditionnel européocentrisme.

  Rails and urban development. A Comparative Approach between France and the United Kingdom

  In France as in the United Kingdom, the issue of sustainable development along with preoccupations about energy costs are leading developers and urban planners to put rail transport at the centre of their concerns. Despite this similar context and though development in both countries has in general been strongly linked to rail, the relationships between urban development and rail transport seem to be quite different. France has seen a strong development of its tram networks since the beginning of the 1980s, whereas in Britain the revival of light rail systems has been more modest. On the other hand, the emergence of urban ‘railway star’ networks to service the peripheries of large cities has been more pronounced in Britain. Yet the role of major transport projects is a crucial issue in both countries in the metropolitan strategies of large urban areas like London and Paris.To comparatively explore the issue of railway transport and urban development the universities of Paris 1 Sorbonne and Liverpool are organising two linked seminars. The first of these will take place in Paris in May 2012, and consider the (re)development of LRT and tramway systems. The second seminar will be held in Liverpool in Autumn 2012 and address the issue of links between territorial development and railways.
