Frantz Fanon’s Legacy in the Literature and the Arts of the Americas

One-day conferences

It turns out to be an epistemological necessity to analyze the scope of Fanon’s thought and style in the cultural and artistic productions of the Americas, not only because of Fanon’s concern for the creation and defense of a national culture but also because of his obvious interest for literature and the care he devoted to the process of writing. The transdisciplinary approach of the two one-day conferences « Frantz Fanon’s Legacy in the Literature and the Arts of the Americas » will encompass all the countries and areas of the Americas and the Caribbean, whatever their languages. We also welcome papers on all kinds of art, ranging from literature to cinema, painting, songs and street art (as in Bogota for instance). We warmly welcome papers that will adopt a comparative approach between different geographical areas. Papers will preferably be written in French, but English and Spanish will be accepted.

Call for papers - Middle Ages

Exclusion and social discipline in the Medieval city in Europe

14th international meetings of the Middle Ages in Nájera

In the late Middle Ages, exclusion became a basic instrument for urban governance, as it enabled lay and ecclesiastical leaders to maintain their control over urban dwellers on the basis of maintaining a certain social discipline and an “ordered” society. Thus, medieval urban society was defined as a community of values according to the ecclesiastical and secular legislation, and it was articulated as a political discourse, which was incorporated into the public sphere. The urban community had to adapt to a legal and ideological framework and to some parameters of behavior, in which exclusion from the community was a powerful communication tool of social discipline. Historians and Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts for research presentations or posters on topics related to “exclusion and social discipline in the Medieval European City”.

Power and media, media power Insights on the Americas

Insights on the Americas

For its 11th issue, RITA proposes to interrogate the links between power and media in the Americas. Several areas of debate can be suggested, although they should not be considered as exclusive. Articles making a critical analysis of official media as well as opposition media, in varied historical and geographical contexts, will of course be welcome. Other articles may deal with the treatment of popular movements by the media. Critical reflections on the relationship between media and economic power are also encouraged. The Thema section can also include analysis of the current diversification of information media by focusing, for instance, on the emergence of “alternative” media on the Internet, or on the power of fake news over the construction of collective representations.

Call for papers - Urban studies

The “Landscapes” edition of dearq academic journal invites participants to reflect on what has globally been, principally since the beginning of the twentieth century, the evolution of the concept of landscape; the relevant methods of analysis; the methods of representation, of evaluation, and of teaching. This takes into consideration how the concept is a practical project tool that can be used for land-use planning, what landscape’s level of influence has been on the public policy decision-making process, what instruments and regulations have been used, and also how “landscape” and “territory” coexist.

Conference, symposium - Religion

Imágenes, devociones y prácticas religiosas

La Europa del sur (1800-1960)

Este coloquio pretende analizar las modalidades de difusión de las imágenes devocionales en el marco de la evolución de las prácticas religiosas en Europa en los siglos XIX y XX, cuyas repercusiones sociales y culturales en la Europa mediterránea fueron considerables, aunque aún poco exploradas por la historiografía contemporánea española. Para ello, este encuentro reúne a los principales especialistas europeos con el fin de ahondar en temas como el auge de las peregrinaciones; la producción industrial de imágenes piadosas y su circulación entre las clases populares; el fomento por la iglesia de nuevos cultos; la confrontación entre modernidad laica y devociones y ritos tradicionales o el vandalismo iconoclasta.

Wars and political violence in modern European and American societies (19th-21st century)

“Amnis” Journal

Amnis Review seeks to open up a reflection on the synergies that exist between war and political violence – both real and symbolic – and to ascertain to what extent the two phenomena are interlinked as well as how far they can be regarded as an essential area of research for gaining an understanding of the historical processes at work during a given period. To this end, Amnis proposes a long-term study focused on the contemporary period in order to analyse not only the impact of conflicts, such as the two world wars that left their mark on the 20^th century, but also the consequences of the many civil wars, colonisation wars and the various other types of confrontations that have punctuated the history of European and American societies from the 19^th century to the present.

Thinking and conducting the transformation of work

The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz

The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

Identity, memory and artistic representations in construction - Columbia 2017

Colombie 2017

Ce colloque propose une réflexion sur le rôle de l'art, de la littérature, du théâtre, du cinéma, de la philosophie dans un contexte de longue période de violence qui, par la suite, nécessite une étape de réflexion et de reconstruction, comme c'est le cas pour la Colombie. Aujourd'hui la Colombie est immergée dans un processus de paix qui met en questionnement l'histoire colombienne durant les dernières décennies ; une histoire qui nécessite d'être à nouveau écrite et pensée. De même, la place des artistes, des écrivains, des cinéastes, des théoriciens joue un rôle fondamental dans ce processus de remémoration. Quelles stratégies ont été employées pour révéler ces réalités fragmentaires ? Comment raconter cette histoire douloureuse et récente ? Les stratégies employées par les artistes et les romanciers colombiens permettent de révéler des réalités fragmentaires, mises en sourdine ou cachées. De même, le rôle de l'art, de la littérature, et du cinéma ou encore du théâtre est fondamental dans ce processus de réécriture de l'histoire récente de la Colombie.

When anthropology meets geography

Discerning locally embedded, yet globally connected socio-territorial struggles

Identities are not only related to politics of assimilation and exclusion in the context of Nation-States, but also shape territorial configuration and arrangements in relation to geographical space. The latter becomes a territory for the accumulation of cultural symbols resulting from the different activities accomplished by a community living in that given space. In order to comprehend what drives various societies in resisting against the dispossession of land, in defending their resources and in opposing the political economies of States, new methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches are needed.

Ethnographical restitution and children - policies, processes and postures

8th edition of the Les apports de l'anthropologie de l'enfance methodology seminar

La notion de restitution est ici entendue dans un sens large ; elle désigne aussi bien un dispositif conçu dès les débuts du terrain et qui vise à partager les fruits du travail effectué avec les acteurs que les échanges quotidiens, apparemment anodins, les « services » rendus par l’anthropologue durant et après le terrain ou encore les échanges matériels et immatériels entre les uns et les autres. Si la dimension politique de la restitution est incontournable, la réflexion à son sujet ne peut cependant s’y limiter. Il s’agit ici de décomposer, à partir d’expériences de terrain ethnographique dans lesquelles sont impliqués des enfants, ce qui constitue la restitution, ses différentes formes, ses temporalités, et ses effets au long cours, à la fois chez les acteurs et chez l’anthropologue.

The Caribbean City, the Cities in the Caribbean

N° 39, 2018 - The Caribbean City, the Cities in the Caribbean

The Caribbean city, the unknown. Heterogeneous human settlements, legacies of the colonial era, refuge of the disadvantaged and homeless, mixed and fragmented, and the showcases of Caribbean tourism, the urban Caribbean presents itself as the economic ambition of these insular territories and other shores bathed by the Caribbean sea. The Caribbean city, a chaotic juxtaposition of modernity and the colonial past, and existing both as a social and political symbol, opens up a rich and immense new area. Sometimes characterized by European allure, the remainder of Africa - some may say -, American city - without a doubt -, hybrid format, the Caribbean city presents a particular subject of study.

The violence of gender

Cet appel vise à susciter des articles concernant les violences fondées sur le genre, qu'elles visent les femmes, les homosexuels ou les trans, cela dans les pays du Sud global. Ces violences peuvent être psychologiques, physiques, sexuelles ou reproductives, y compris obstétricales. Elles peuvent s'exercer dans le cadre du couple, de la famille, du travail, des études, de l'espace public ou d'institutions, telles que la médecine ou l'armée, mais aussi de guerres. Les propositions d'articles peuvent notamment porter sur la mesure de ces violences, les facteurs et contextes qui leur sont associées mais ausi les lois et programmes à leur encontre, les obstacles que ceux-ci rencontrent et les actions qui permettraient de les abolir. Elles pourront émaner des différentes disciplines des sciences sociales.

An overview of digital social innovations

Despite their great potential to contribute to social and environmental changes, digital social innovations (DSI) remain an underresearched field. The Digital Social Innovation for Europe (DSI4EU) project provides a list of DSI, others mention them as being instrumental in the so-called “collaborative economy” or “sharing economy”, and civil society actors like OuiShare place a strong emphasis on them. However, it is clear that DSI have not yet been systematically and extensively analysed. We wish that this special issue contributes to do so, by using a three-level approach (micro, meso, macro).

Perception, reaction and record of natural phenomena before the Enlightenment

Issue no. 18 of the Journal of the History of Society and Culture will include a Special Section comprising papers dedicated to studying the perception, interpretation and record of natural phenomena in the periods preceding the consolidation of the modern scientific thinking. The goal is to explore how certain climatic, astronomical, seismological and vulcanological phenomena, among others, were experienced, explained and assessed prior to the development of technologies capable of predicting, monitoring and deciphering them. Attention must be given to the documents, accounts, representations (pictorial, sculptural, etc.) and remains (archaeological, architectural, urban, etc.) that inform us of eclipses and comets, storms and shipwrecks, volcanic eruptions, river floodings, gales, droughts and other phenomena which, directly or indirectly, left a mark on the populations and are part of their collective memory.
