Coimbra
One of the 20th century's main features was the large movements of people abandoning their places of origin for economic, political and social reasons. Migration-fostering conditions, like the search for sufficient means of subsistence, escaping from armed conflict and political and religious persecution, are intensified by economic crises and the advent of authoritarian Governments. In the host countries, emigrants, exiles and refugees form associations, publish periodicals, hold commemorations and foster socialisation tools, which make them a group with a national identity and/or a specific political positioning. Concomitantly, they undergo acculturation, as a result of their inevitable adjustment to the new reality, translated into the activities they perform and the structure of the relations they keep with the host country.

Seminar - Epistemology and methodology
The migratory experience: speech and methodologies
Second annual seminar of the Migrations network
Ce séminaire s'envisage comme une réflexion au carrefour de deux questions: comment produire des connaissances scientifiques à partir du recueil de récits d’expérience migratoire d’une part et d’autre part, à partir de l’étude des réseaux de significations auxquels renvoient les cadres de réalisation de cette expérience ? Comment définir l’expérience migratoire ? Comment en rendre compte ? Quels sont les rapports entre l’expérience migratoire d’un individu et ses autres formes d’expérience de vie ? En quoi les conditions de réalisation de l’expérience participent-t-elles du façonnement de cette dernière et des interprétations qui en résultent ?

Issues, uses and political debates about demographic data
International perspectives
Les données démographiques révèlent de nombreux enjeux politiques et économiques qui alimentent les débats publics sur les grandes questions de société, qu’elles soient nationales ou internationales. L’objectif de cette journée est d’ouvrir un espace de réflexion interdisciplinaire (démographie, science politique, géographie, sociologie, anthropologie, histoire) sur la manière dont les données démographiques sur les pays en développement sont produites puis utilisées par les scientifiques, les politiques, les médias, les institutions de développement et les organisations humanitaires.

Amerindian cosmo-bio-politics: ethnographical and comparative approaches
Lors de ce workshop, on souhaite donc privilégier une approche élargie de la politique, afin de réfléchir aux variations dans la manière dont les non-humains, en miroir ou en continuité de l’organisation humaine, exercent des pouvoirs, occupent des fonctions, jouent des rôles, possèdent des statuts, etc. Il s’agit en somme de penser la polyvalence des non-humains dans les collectifs ; de même que les humains sont engagés dans différentes formes d’interactions, ces êtres peuvent être enrôlés dans des entreprises aux finalités très diverses.

Les sociétés contemporaines à l’épreuve des transitions énergétiques
Journées internationales de sociologie de l’énergie
Dans l'esprit des premières journées internationales de sociologie de l'énergie qui se sont tenues en octobre 2012 à Toulouse, l'UMR CITERES et le CETU ETIcS de l'université François-Rabelais de Tours ont souhaité mobiliser largement les scientifiques et les acteurs d'horizons institutionnels divers autour de la thématique de l'énergie. Cette deuxième édition a pour ambition de faire le point sur les avancées scientifiques dans le champ de la sociologie de l'énergie, d'identifier les questionnements émergents et les problématiques qui restent à explorer.

Icônes globales d'architecture et circulations mondialisées
The 1990-2000 decade are characterized by a profusion of iconic projects, in a one-upmanship that has rarely been seen in any other period of the history of architecture, simultaneously fed by local decision-makers, capital flows and transnational classes. In this context, global icons of architecture are territorial landmarks that affirm the identity and cultural vitality of an area.

Lieux d’enchantement : écrire et ré-enchanter le monde
Les spécialistes d’écocritique et les écrivains défendent une vision de l’homme connecté aux divers réseaux de vie sur Terre ; s’évertuant à répandre une perspective biocentrique sur le monde, ils nous incitent à redécouvrir une conception de l’espace et de la terre plus humble et responsable. Les écrivains de la nature sont souvent abordés avec diverses approches critiques, appelées tantôt « éco-féminisme », tantôt « écriture de la nature », « littérature environnementale », ou, remontant à une tradition bien plus ancienne, « écriture des Premières Nations ». Or, quel que soit le prisme par lequel on les aborde, tous ces auteurs appellent à une relation avec le monde basée sur l’empathie, la perception, l’imagination et la réciprocité. Qu’ils s’inspirent des sciences écologiques, de méditations personnelles, ou encore de mythologies, de traditions et de philosophies ancestrales, ces écrivains d’origines multiples se rejoignent en ce qu’ils participent à élaborer ce que Barry Lopez et Mark Tredinnick nomment une « littérature de l’humilité, un mouvement au-delà de soi ».

Call for papers - Urban studies
The cities of urban research have long been and still are widely today, the "great cities". But the realities of urban are not limited to them. In France for example the small and medium-sized cities house more than a quarter of the population. What does the observation of these cities bring to knowledge of the urban phenomenon? On the other hand, in the research devoted to major metropoles, it is often very specific neighborhoods that are the subject of attention of research as well as the media: social housing developments or the central gentrified neighborhoods. But more "ordinary" neighbourhoods are not often the focus. What does the observation of these neighbourhoods that we do not talk about "say" about the city? In other words, we would like to call on work that offers openings of the typologies of cities as the typologies of neighbourhoods that are subjacent to the discourse and debates on the urban.

10th Annual and International Colloquium of the Society of Activities and Research on the Indian World
In the postcolonial theoretical framework, the study of heritage and ruptures is a rather familiar paradigm. But it is not a depleted paradigm. Given the millennial history of the Indian subcontinent and the plurality of its culture, the way its languages, literatures and arts appropriate the past, grasp the present and envisage the future remains a relevant object for inquiry. From the crossroads of diachronicity and synchronicity, tradition and modernity, singularity and solidarity, here and elsewhere, repetition and reinvention, the 10th annual SARI conference to be held on the 28th and 29th May 2015 at the Université Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense and on the 30th May 2015 at the université Paris 13, Sorbonne Paris Cité, will be devoted to the exploration of this topic from an inter and pluridisciplinary perspective.

In the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international dimensions and the timeliness of his ideas, but also given the misunderstanding of his work in France, Espaces et Sociétés devotes its next folder issue to Patrick Geddes, pioneer of modern urbanism and interdisciplinary methods, precursor of environmentalism. In effect, the environmental question has not emerged suddenly in urbanism, it goes back to the 19th century and the beginnings of the 20th century with authors such as Geddes. The choice of Geddes reflects the interdisciplinarity of his thought, its international reach and the novelty of his ideas, but also by the lack of his work in France; it was necessary, in fact, to wait until 1994 for the first translation of his work Cities in Evolution (1915). Equally this number wishes to address this oversight by understanding and by calling for a critical rereading of his work.

Floods as Heritage: the heritage value of floods
This workshop will explore the possibilities of considering floods as heritage. Floods are usually considered as destructive forces, but here we wish to focus on their creative aspect. There has been considerable work on the heritage value of rivers, but we want to explore the potential of considering floods themselves as heritage. What is the intellectual and practical potential of making this connection? What are the possible dangers involved? How and why does the process of remembering floods differ in different places and among different people? How can the memory of floods be considered a creative process?

Considering spaces of alternative learning
This conference aims to interrogate space as an educational tool. Recent literature is rather unanimous in stating that space is not a neutral element and that, in education, spatiality plays a role in the construction of social and educational relations; questioning how space could operate in building models of ‘alternative’, ‘critical’ or ‘citizen’ education is more controversial. But how could we define an alternative or critical education? Which places and spaces can we consider ‘different’ from institutional and conventional educational models?

Identities on the move: the Caucasus between the local, the regional and the global
With a focus on Azerbaijan
Most of the time, the countries of the South Caucasus are being scrutinized from Moscow, Istanbul, and Tehran, the capital cities of the former empires that ruled the region for centuries and struggled for control over these territories. And indeed, be it the Russian, and then the Soviet empires, or the Persian and Ottoman empires, the Caucasus has been, and still is, very much affected by the influence of regional powers in a wide range of areas. As far as identity issues in the Caucasus are concerned, they tend to be studied mainly through post-Soviet lenses due to the influence of the Soviet nationalities policy. Although this inheritance still appears relevant today, the conference aims to put the emphasis on the complex set of processes that shape identities in a broad meaning.

Conference, symposium - Political studies
Rethinking social issues in Europe in light of the experiences of emerging countries ?
The proposed conference aims to foster debate on the impact of globalisation on social issues, based on findings from old industrialised nations as well as from the so-called “emerging nations”. Emerging nations are characterised by recent and rapid industrialisation that has led to the emergence of educated middle-class consumers and raised living standards of a section of the working class. This industrialisation has also led to structured protest movements that authorities have been able to address through social policies. Emerging nations have also experienced or maintained an increase in inequality leading to corruption, delinquency or criminalisation and giving rise to parallel initiatives within civil society which is more efficient in emerging countries; founded on democratic principles, the State in developed countries is still able to efficiently intervene in favour of its citizens.

Migration and exile in the Horn of Africa
State of knowledge and current debates
Cette conférence internationale vise à faire un état des lieux de la recherche en sciences sociales sur les migrations de la corne de l’Afrique à partir des travaux récents menés à la fois dans les régions d’origine, les régions de transit et celles de destination des migrants et des réfugiés. Avec la recrudescence des naufrages provoquant la mort de milliers de migrants éthiopiens, érythréens, somaliens et djiboutiens à proximité des rivages de l’Europe du Sud ces dernières années, particulièrement en 2015, les médias et les responsables politiques ont porté leur attention sur des zones jusque-là considérées comme marginales voire extérieures aux champs migratoires européens. Les formes de mobilités à l’œuvre dans la corne de l’Afrique sont multiples et anciennes. Ces drames auxquels l’Union européenne est confrontée, comme à Lampedusa en octobre 2013 ou aux larges des côtes libyennes en avril 2015, constituent la face la plus dramatique de dynamiques migratoires complexes.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Studying Exile
Les réalités migratoires contemporaines sont complexes en raison d’une quadruple caractéristique : mobilité accrue ; extension planétaire ; diversité du sens des flux ; variété des causes. Elles créent en conséquence des catégories migratoires extrêmement variées qu’il importe de penser ensemble. À cette fin, il est proposé de définir un objet d’étude à nommer expérience de l’exil et un domaine de recherche à nommer études exiliques dont le présent colloque contribuera à la fondation. L’ambition de ce champ multidimensionnel et pluridisciplinaire en construction est de redonner au vécu du sujet en migration toute la charge existentielle que les politiques migratoires actuelles, soucieuses de gestion efficace, tendent à oublier. Étudier l’exil afin de mieux accueillir l’exilé, accueillir l’exilé afin de mieux comprendre l’exil.
