Minority Uses of the Past and Dynamics of Power in the Americas (19th–21st Centuries)

Democracy at University: Voicing Choices
In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection.

Development Seen from Africa: Perceptions, Management, and the Challenge of “Better Living”
Revue « Daftari za Ngūgī », Vol. 6, 1er semestre 2027
Ce numéro de la revue Daftari za Ngūgī (ex-Nouvelles Dynamiques Africaines) invite à une rupture épistémique avec les mesures occidentales du développement (IDH). Contre la vision d’une Afrique pathologisée par les classements internationaux, cet appel sollicite des enquêtes empiriques rigoureuses explorant le « développement par le bas » : économie informelle, solidarités villageoises et définitions endogènes du « vivre-mieux ».

Arts and Literature in Latin America in the 21st Century: A Crossroads?
Amerika n°32
Following the colloquium held in Rennes, France, on October 9 and 10, to celebrate the magazine's fifteenth anniversary and as we approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, we would like to explore how contemporary Latin American imaginaries (primarily through literary and artistic production) contextualize not only belonging to specific territories but also the place these territories occupy in an increasingly globalized cultural universe.

L’objectif est de mieux comprendre les relations entre le politique et les sphères du savoir en contexte autoritaire et dans les phases de changement politique. En se focalisant sur les « professions intellectuelles », il s’agit d’approfondir les possibilités et les cadres de l’opposition aux dictatures et leur participation au processus de transition et de démocratisation en Espagne et au Portugal dans les années 1960-1970. En raison de leur autonomie et de leur capital social, ces professions ont des capacités de résistance et de protestations plus élevées que d’autres groupes sociaux. L’objectif est aussi d’explorer l’évolution des relations aux pouvoirs autoritaires de groupes appartenant à la bourgeoisie ou aux classes moyennes, qui ont pu bénéficier de positions privilégiées ou ont soutenu ces régimes, avant de s’en distancier.

Mourning and Memory in Latin America. Social Emergencies, Narrative and Artistic Elaborations
« Amerika » numéro 31
Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un élan démocratique se fait jour en Amérique latine. Il s’exprime au travers d’élections, mais se manifeste aussi dans des mouvements sociaux ou des révoltes. En lien avec les tensions générées par la guerre froide qui favorisent les coups d’État dans différents pays, des dictatures se mettent toutefois en place dès les années 60. Trouvant leur justification dans la doctrine de la « sécurité nationale », ces dictatures sont fondées sur le contrôle social, la persécution politique et l’usage massif d’une violence étatique. Mais des stratégies de résistance se développent, variables selon les contextes politiques et socio-économiques des pays. Quelles mémoires, artistiques et narratives, découlent de ces événements ?

Indigenous Peoples in Global Politics
Monções: Revista de Relações Internacionais da UFGD
This special issue aims to gather contributions from researchers studying indigenous peoples in international politics. We particularly – though not exclusively – encourage submissions on topics such as: How does the political action of indigenous peoples yield pressure on traditional concepts such as politics, sovereignty, international cooperation, and global governance? To what extent and through what mechanisms do these practices subvert or are co-opted by the hegemonic structures of the international system? In what ways do indigenous philosophies and worldviews challenge the colonial logics of the Anthropocene, extractivism, and the geopolitics of knowledge?

Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World
This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

Economies of Renewal and Transformation
The "celebration" or post-crisis period is not merely a moment of festivity but an opportunity for tension release, reinvention, collective creativity, and the creation of new identities and relationships. This symposium proposes to examine how, from an economic and organizational perspective, societies reshape, rebuild, and find new avenues for transformation after times of crisis, both systemically and discursively.

Colonising and decolonising: Europe-Africa relations in the 19th and 20th centuries
“Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal” issue 24
This issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal aims to reflect on European colonialism in Africa in the 19th and 20th centuries, trying to explain, through current historical knowledge, the colonial fact —one, similar, transversal in its ideas and practices— structured in different territorial and national strands, and highlighting the deconstruction of myths, ideas and theories that have succeeded each other and metamorphosed to legitimise and justify colonial violence. It is also about giving a voice to Africans, so silenced by the colonial system, by listening to their interpretations of a reality from the near past that left significant marks on their daily lives.
