  First International Symposium on Primitivism

  The First International Symposium on Primitivism aims to shed new light on a debate that has been given little attention in the field of Humanities, and which focuses on the relationship between Art and the Primitive. The disciplinary foundation of these studies is in History and Art Theory. However, it is also necessarily interdisciplinary, to the extent that we are interested in understanding the aesthetic phenomena that constitute Western art, not only from the perspective of an artistic history, but also – and especially – from its imbrications with aesthetics, culture, society, and politics.

  La España africana: historias de dominio, de resistencia y de migración

  Curso de verano de la Universidad de Alicante

  El objetivo del curso es, por un lado, analizar los procesos de gestión de la diversidad cultural de la colonización española en Marruecos y Guinea Ecuatorial desde una perspectiva diacrónica que permita explicar las transformaciones sociopolíticas internas actuales que se han desarrollado de forma específica en casa contexto. Por otro lado, se trata de abordar la manera en que los migrantes de estos orígenes expresan su identidad cultural, se integran en la sociedad española, e influyen en sus países de origen.

  Rethinking the Political and the History of Politics in Chile: Languages, Discourses and Practices of Power

  The objective of this colloquium will be to debate and analyze politics and the political by means of the different forms of language, discourse and practices that intervene in the construction of the social world. There are myriad examples of this in Chilean history. Taking history, political philosophy and political economy as the starting points, we invite doctoral candidates, researchers and academics to participate in this truly trans disciplinary  space of debate, reflection and feedback whose goal is not only to unite a community of researchers into “the political” in the republican period but also to select the best works presented for a future publication in the format of a collective work or a special dossier of a scientific publication.

  Sexuality(ies) and citizenship(s)

  A  Revista Ibero-americana de Saúde e Cidadania/Iberoamerican publica uma edição especial sobre Sexualidade(s) e Cidadania(s). Os trabalhos devem abordar a importância da sexualidade na sociedade e na conceituação e definição de cidadania. Este número temático aborda a importância da visibilidade da diversidade sexual, a capacitação das diferenças, das minorias sociais e sexuais, e a necessidade de criar, projetar e estabelecer políticas sociais e de saúde pública que melhorem a situação social da diversidade sexual. Diversidade sexual e  cidadania são dois conceitos que fazem parte do desenvolvimento educacional e social de forma global e diversificada. Devem, por isso, ser analisados de forma multidisciplinar. Daí que se  pretenda uma abordagem das ciências da saúde, das ciências sociais e humanas e dos estudos de género das realidades sociais decorrentes de ambos os conceitos.

  The problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology

  Antropológicas Journal

  The journal Antropológicas is accepting proposals for publication in its next issue that will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology. Manuscripts should be submitted to the page http://revistas.rcaap.pt/antropologicas/login by the 28th of February of 2013. Antropológicas’ number 13th will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology, because since the academic statement of its field of knowledge, ethnographic practice and anthropological writing had many debates, both for the originality of the methodology and the scientific accuracy required by their professionals. Among social sciences, anthropology was the one where theoretical discussion about its rationale demanded a greater critical capacity, by placing into question its methodological grounds.

  Anthropology and popular culture

  El Filandar / O Fiadeiro journal

  Ainda que sempre abertos a todos os temas, este ano daremos especial atenção aos artigos que se dediquem à cultura material, desde a arquitetura popular até à investigação sobre objetos ligados a todo o tipo de crenças e costumes (ex-votos, iconografia, indumentária, etc.). Empenhando-nos em ter em particular consideração a cultura de fronteira, incluiremos uma nova secção votada a pessoas de ambos os lados da fronteira que se dedicam ou dedicaram a um ofício ou atividade tradicional. Contaremos a sua história de vida e a sua relação com a sua arte ou o seu trabalho. No novo número, também haverá um dossiê etnográfico com a exposição variada da visão pictórica que pessoas de ambos os lados da fronteira têm da sua terra, da sua região.

  Staging posts and stopovers in Latin America: five centuries of stopovers

  Pour une histoire des haltes et des rituels de l'étape en Amérique latine : lieux de vie ou non-lieux ? Comment les voyageurs hispano-américains ou européens, marchands, missionnaires ou soldats, femmes ou hommes, indiens ou créoles faisaient-ils étape sur le continent américain ? La topographie des lieux d’arrêts, l’économie qui leur a été associée, ont évolué avec la modernisation des moyens de transport, l’arrivée du chemin de fer et l’essor de la navigation à vapeur d’un côté et de l’autre du continent américain. Ces territoires du quotidien, à l’opposé de l’apparat des lieux de pouvoir, est-il possible de construire leur histoire parallèlement à l’histoire des moyens de transport et des voies de communication ?

  Rethinking structuring dichotomies of social sciences through the field of tourism

  International young researcher conference of the UNESCO "Cutlure, Tourism and Development" chair

  Cet appel à participation s’adresse à tous les doctorant(e)s et jeunes docteur(e)s qui interrogent, directement ou indirectement, les dynamiques, les systèmes et les mobilités, touristiques et de loisirs, ainsi que les groupes sociaux et les territoires dans lesquels ils s’inscrivent. L’objectif des rencontres n’est pas de présenter individuellement son travail de thèse, mais de travailler ensemble sur des angles transversaux de réflexion. Il s’agit donc de proposer un positionnement de recherche, méthodologique et / ou épistémologique, contribuant à réinterroger les couples conceptuels fréquemment utilisés dans les études sur le tourisme. Nous invitons également les jeunes chercheurs(euses) travaillant à la marge de l’objet tourisme à se joindre à cette réflexion.

  The ruin

  Sociétés journal devotes its next issue to the subject of “the ruin”. This issue aims to revisit and extend the notion of ruin considering its spatial, social, architectural, and urban imaginary. A Ruin is a representation and a pictorial resource of the landscape, is a metaphysical way of thought, a purpose and a primitive view. In this sense, memory, architecture and symbol, life and death, decay and rebirth, time and duration, rust and bones, the eternal communication, previous utopia and inner experience, the decomposition and recomposition, ecosophy and economics of conflict, obsolescence and "affordance", are some of the subjects that derive from ruin as status quo: an 'imaginal' foundation of the romanticism and a sensitivity of our contemporaneous world.
