Interculturality, Diversity and Inclusion

Contemporary Issues in Societies and Businesses in the Americas

L’objectif de cette rencontre est d’analyser l’interculturalité, la diversité et l’nclusion tant dans les sociétés que dans les entreprises de différents pays du continent américain. Il s’agit d’une activité qui comprendra des communications sur des pays tels que les États-Unis, Haïti, la Jamaïque, le Mexique, le Costa Rica, l’Équateur et l’Argentine. Outre le questionnement sur ces nouvelles et possibles instances inclusives, les différences culturelles, sociales et de genre ainsi que les transformations de la société dans de nombreux pays, ont conduit à une réflexion et à des propositions sur la possibilité de construire de nouvelles citoyennetés inclusives et diverses.

“Community Healthcare” in the Americas: (dis)continuities and reappropriations

Revue « IdeAs » n°28 (automne 2026)

Community health, which refers to a set of practices and intervention models grounded in social participation and a promotional-preventive approach, began to emerge during the 1960s as an alternative way of delivering healthcare. The American continent was one of the incubators of this approach, drawing on liberation theology and popular education movements in Latin America, the Free Clinics and the Neighborhood Health Clinics in the United States, and the interaction between popular movements and the State during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. This issue of the journal IdeAs proposes a continental approach to community health.

From Polarity to Circumpolarity: The Future of Canadian Studies in Europe

This multidisciplinary conference examines how the deconstruction of the dualisms that have dominated in Western thought since the 17^th century takes shape in Canadian studies. Building on the Canadian landscape and scholarship on its nordicity, we hypothesize a move from polarity to circumpolarity in Canadian studies conducted in Europe. This multidisciplinary conference welcomes proposals from all fields of research, in the hope of bringing together complementary perspectives on the (circum)polarities in Canadian studies.

Surrealism and the Americas: new historiographical perspectives

Thematic workshop of the bi-annual Congress of the Institut des Amériques

As we celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the first Surrealist Manifesto (1924), it is in fact appropriate to revisit this long historiographical tradition that considers this collective adventure as an exclusively French (if not Parisian) one, of the interwar period, centered around the charismatic figure of André Breton. By example of the Americas, we wish to propose a new theoretical definition of the movement in favour of its specific variations and manifestations in order to better question the very notions of centre, periphery, heritage or descendance and, in this way, bring to light the new actors of global Surrealism.

What Matters in Contemporary Anglophone Cultures

“What Matters” is an invitation to rethink the weight of habits, established structures and validated categories. Arguing that someone/something counts goes against economic/budgetary/financial accounting, which is typically the work of a dominant power that keeps precise accounts, compiling or capitalising, trying to contain or control. “What matters” is an invitation to give an account of what does not seem to count, what is unthought of or invisible. “What matters” is a response to what is challenging research, and a direct appeal to its agency to redefine the common space and what would be a (co-)habitable world. It invites us to grasp how research can make people act and react, and provoke awakening. We are looking for papers in linguistic, literary, dramatic, historical, sociological, political, film and serial studies and, more broadly, cultural studies.

Rebuilding a History: Indigenous books and print material in Québec

Mémoires du livre/Studies in Book Culture, vol. 16-no. 1 / Spring 2025

Shedding light on the stakes involved in Indigenous print material and books from the perspective of a history of the book captures the colonial dynamics at work in this literary milieu while highlighting the decolonization movements also taking place there. Despite significant increases in facilities and events dedicated to Indigenous books and print material, up until now few academic works have addressed the historic and contemporary dynamics around the field of Indigenous books in Québec. It is these dynamics that the present issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture aims to address.

Power and Empowerment in Ecological Perspective

Annual conference of the Association française d’études américaines (AFEA)

Our workshop will explore how the tension between power and empowerment can be applied to the field of environmental studies, conceived here in the broadest sense, from environmental history to anthropology, political science and sociology. For instance, how do questions of emancipation and social or political transformation apply to ecological activism, the energy transition and the various struggles for environmental justice?

Les défis de la formation des enseignants et de leur insertion professionnelle : approches comparatives

International Citizen Forum for Education

La quatrième édition du Forum citoyen international de l’éducation s’intéresse particulièrement à l’un des acteurs clés des systèmes éducatifs, l’enseignant. Étant donné le rôle complexe des enseignants et les répercussions majeures de leur travail sur l’avenir de la société, une formation adéquate est indispensable. Il paraît judicieux et nécessaire de réfléchir aux défis de la formation initiale et continue dans le but d’assurer aux apprenants une éducation qui tient compte de la diversité et des inégalités ainsi que des avancées numériques. Le forum s’attarde aussi sur les pratiques enseignantes, l’insertion professionnelle et les conditions d’exercice du travail enseignant, de même que sur les enjeux de gouvernance et leurs impacts sur la réussite éducative.

Fantasies of France: Exploring Transatlantic Misunderstandings from the 18th Century to the Present Days

This one-day symposium for PhD students and early-career researchers aims to reflect on the French fantasies of North American authors and, conversely, on the North American fantasies of their French receptors and intermediaries. Participants are encouraged to think about the ways in which misunderstandings shaped the transatlantic literary relations which developed between North America and France from the 18th century up to the present days. The symposium hopes to foster discussions about these misunderstandings along three lines of investigation : that of literary criticism, with a focus on the emergence of a ‘fantasy of France’ in the works of North American authors (and on the disenchantments and surprises that go hand in hand with fantasies) ; that of the French reception of these same writers ; and, finally, that of translation.

For a Comprehensive and Global History of the Second World War’s Impact on Canada

The eightieth anniversary of the end of the Second World War is fast approaching. This seems an appropriate moment to begin the publication process for a new series of articles dealing with the conflict’s impact on Canadian society in a way that takes recent historiographical trends and debates into account. We are lauching a joint call for papers for special issues of Études canadiennes/Canadian Studies (no. 97, December 2024) and the Bulletin d’histoire politique (2025) related to a global and comprehensive history of Canada during the Second Wolrd War

The relevance of Eugen Ehrlich’s thought to empirical methods of law

The year 2022 marks the centenary of Eugen Ehrlich's death. This great Austro- Hungarian jurist is often presented as the father of legal sociology. As a close observer of legal practices, he was the first to use and invent concepts that have become fundamental in legal sociology today, such as legal pluralism, living law, and legal consciousness. Ehrlich’s research revisits and reverses the illustrious tradition of the Pandects, established and perfected by legal scholars such as Savigny or Puchta. Although Ehrlich has inspired jurists around the world, he remains a little known figure in France. The present symposium is therefore devoted to reconsider the actuality of his thought, using the last chapters of his Grundlegung der Soziologie des Rechts (Foundation of the Sociology of Law) as a main reference. During the first day, specialists will introduce us to the concepts of his methodology of legal sociology and the influence he had on his contemporaries. Once the fundamentals have been established, the second day will highlight the dynamics of Ehrlich's thought for law contemporary research.

Telling and exhibiting minorities in France and North America

Minorities and their museum mediations

Nous proposons, dans ce colloque, de nous pencher sur les relations entre les minorités et les musées et sites patrimoniaux en Amérique du Nord et en France, en abandonnant le point de vue majoritaire, qui se décline en termes de domination et d’assignation, pour renverser le regard. En nous situant du point de vue de l’expérience minoritaire, nous pourrons envisager la minorité dans sa capacité à agir. Dans la relation des minorités aux musées, il est possible de distinguer deux mouvements qui, bien qu’autonomes, interagissent. Le premier, sans doute le plus documenté, par lequel les musées ont essayé de « décoloniser » les récits sur l’expérience minoritaire. Le second par lequel les groupes minorisés ont promu l’émergence de contre-récits indépendants, sous des formes diverses, leurs actions précédant souvent la réévaluation critique des politiques muséales.

Hierarchies of knowledge production and power relations in academic postcolonial settings

The controversial concept of decolonization gives rise to various mobilizations in sometimes very different contexts. In the form of militant claims or scientific projects, this concept has both a transformative potential and a political and normative content. In light of the debates in intellectual and activist circles, “decolonizing” is not unanimously accepted. The concept creates polarizing debates, marked by multiple forms of violence, and questioning privilege and discrimination. This special issue intends to explore empirically the expressions, experiences and reshuffling of asymmetrical relations in the production and dissemination of knowledge within academia, in light of post- and decolonial debates.

The clash of contexts and complexification of knowledge in plurilingual and intercultural education

From research to the production of knowledge in plurilingual and intercultural education in the context of international research cooperation

Comment s’éprouvent, se transforment, se transmettent les savoirs au cours des phases d’enquête, de production, de transposition, et de recontextualisation des connaissances dans le champ de l’éducation/formation interculturelle au sein d’équipes internationales ? Les intervenants réunis en Guadeloupe le 17 novembre 2021 seront centrés sur la comparaison des contenus de formation en lien avec la professionnalisation et l’interculturel à et par la recherche sur plusieurs terrains d’enquête : Guadeloupe, Martinique, Québec, Colombie, Nouvelle Calédonie… et les résultats, productions, préconisations et/ ou livrables qui en résultent. Les intervenants réunis à Paris le 24 novembre 2021 auront à cœur de présenter des dispositifs de formation et de recherche conjuguant des procédés artistiques, plurilittératiés et multimodaux dans la formation interculturelle des enseignants, et les résultats, productions, préconisations et/ou livrables qui en découlent.
