Call for papers - Urban studies

Financing the city. City transfers under financial stress

Revue « Espaces et sociétés »

Funding for the city has been the subject of much attention over the last 15 years. The rise of institutional investors around the pan-securitization of real estate, and the development of private public partnerships in a context of shrinking public resources are phenomena that have overturned ways of doing things. This issue does not aim to analyze new models of financing urbanization as such, but to study the consequences. Several lines of work can be evoked which are all supported by the analysis of social and spatial effects of the ways of funding the city today: the effects of globalized city funding, concentration of players, modes of financing and the standardization of products, the development of new forms of public-private partnership and logical investment locations, the transitional funding arrangements for more sustainable cities or competitive cities through major partnership operations, are questions that can be addressed.

New flows and spatial relations

Peripheral spaces within globalisation

La mondialisation contemporaine présente un visage inédit par bien des aspects. Elle modifie les relations entre les espaces, les institutions, les entreprises et les individus et entraîne notamment une transformation radicale des liens des périphéries avec d'autres lieux. Les flux de toutes natures que ces relations déclenchent, les stratégies des acteurs qui sont au centre de ces dynamiques, les territoires institutionnels, politiques ou identitaires que construisent ou renforcent ces reconfigurations et les dissymétries sociales et économiques qu’elles génèrent ont été étudiés par le programme collectif de recherche Périmarge : « Périphéries, marges : interpréter les relations aux centres dans la mondialisation », financé par l’ANR sur l’appel « Métamorphoses des sociétés : Inégalité-Inégalités ».

Conference, symposium - History

The Institutions of the Habsburg Low Countries (XVI-XVIII c.)

IX Conference of Spanish, Belgian and Dutch historians. In honour of Professor Hugo de Schepper

This conference intends to continue the tradition of the Hispanic-Dutch-Belgian meetings and will bring together a number of established and early-career researchers working in the field of the institutional history of the Habsburg Low Countries from the 16^th to the 18^th centuries. It aims to draw attention to a broad range of political, cultural, religious, legal, and military institutions by focusing on the enriching approaches that have shaped historical research on institutional history in the past few decades. At the same time, it hopes to bring into the limelight some exciting new (and often interdisciplinary) perspectives that characterize current research in the field.

Militantism and Re-Compositions in Latin America

Re-composition of Militantism, Militant Trajectories and Constructions of Political Elites

This dossier aims to reflect equally on two issues central to the political reconfiguration of formerly militant activism in the most recent period of Latin American history. The first concerns the phenomena of political transformation of former militants and the networks and routes used by former militant actors to politically transform themselves. Many of these have been structured around the strategic positioning of radical political commitments, in addition to the development and integration of new generations of activists into partisan life. The notion of re-composition (translated from the French reconversion) seems appropriate in order to elaborate specifically the political landscape of formal and state connections in different cultural contexts of militantism. The second issue concerns the reconfiguration of militancy in societies that have undergone neoliberal reforms imposed in the last decades of the past century and the development of new approaches to the resistance to the neoliberal state.

From "the drink of the gods" to chocolate emporiums

Variaciones sobre el cacao americano

Matière première du chocolat dont on sait le succès dans les sociétés européennes aux XVII^e et XVIII^e siècles en tant que boisson chaude, avant qu'il ne soit remplacé par le café et le thé, le cacao connaît actuellement un regain de vitalité sur son continent d'origine sous l'effet de l'évolution de la demande mondiale, de la recherche et de la promotion de variétés de fèves de qualité, destinées à une production « haut de gamme ». Par ailleurs, des fouilles archéologiques conduites dans la région amazonienne du sud-est de l'Équateur pourraient confirmer l'hypothèse d'une utilisation de l'« arbre aux cabosses » à des fins alimentaires dans les forêts tropicales de l'Amérique du Sud, en même temps qu'en faire reculer la datation.

Biocultural Dimensions of Everyday life

International Seminar of CORPUS (International Group for the Cultural Studies of the Body)

The present seminar is the continuation of the symposium Bodies in action. The Biocultural Dimensions of the Everyday life that was held within the framework of the 4^th Congress on Latin American Anthropology (Mexico, 2015). We invite to this seminar Biocultural Dimensions of the Everyday life researchers interested in the study of the body, of the human embodiment, of the techniques of the body, of the linkages between bodily action and material culture, of the human/animal co-actions, of the nutrition, of the health, of the bodily education, of the dance, of the sexuality and of other fragments of everyday life that invite to think about the complexity of the human being-in-the-world.

IV International Conference of Myth Criticism

Myth and Emotions

Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

To reconcile and to reincorporate

Discourse, ceremonies and practices in and beyond the Iberic Monarchies

In recent years historiography has been slowly acknowledging the potential of civil societies to restore concord after profound divisions. It also has uncovered the pacification strategies of authorities to reconcile and reincorporate individuals and social groups after periods of contestation and revolt. These complex processes are crucial to better understand the history of the Iberic monarchies, which have been able to develop a long-term government despite many crises of different origin and outlook. Hence, this conference will be focused on the themes of reconciliation and reincorporation from following four perspectives: Words, discourses and emotions (semantics and sentiments), Negotiating reconciliation (promotors and strategies), Making reconciliation work (agents and mediators, processes and forms), In the margin of reconciliations (the undecided and excluded)

Memories and identities in question in sub-Saharan Africa and in Latin America

L’Afrique subsaharienne et l’Amérique latine sont liées de façon historique par le commerce triangulaire qui a fait déporter vers l’Amérique des millions d’individus arrachés à leurs terres ancestrales. Cette transplantation sur un continent nouveau, mal vécu par les esclaves, a permis de donner naissance à une culture spécifique, résurgence de la culture africaine et d’autres formes de cultures avec lesquelles les esclaves ont été mis en contact. Ce colloque entend donc questionner des notions de mémoire(s) et d'identité(s) en Afrique subsaharienne et en Amérique latine.

Conference, symposium - Modern

Modernisation and the challenge of practice: alternative political spaces (Europe, Americas, 18th-19th centuries)

Les espaces alternatifs du politique (Europe, Amérique, XVIIIe- XIXe siècle)

En partant d’études de cas empruntées aux espaces européen et américain, ces journées se proposent d’étudier les interactions conflictuelles entre des acteurs ou des groupes d’acteurs et les autorités ou l’État, afin de réexaminer le paradigme de la modernisation des sociétés européenne et américaine aux XVIII^e et XIX^e siècle. De ce fait, le choix d’une périodisation au-delà de la décennie révolutionnaire ne vise pas à reprendre le discours d’une politisation qui commencerait avec la Révolution française avant de se diffuser tout au long du XIX^e siècle, mais bien plutôt à s’intéresser aux permanences d’une appropriation du politique par les acteurs dès l’époque moderne, et la possibilité de la construction d’espaces politiques qui ne sont pas ceux qui sont privilégiés dans les analyses classiques de la politisation.

Resisting literature

Review "TRANS" no.20

Dans quelle mesure peut-on considérer la création comme un acte de résistance ? À quoi résiste-t-on ? Que veut dire résister ? Si l'idée de résistance dans la littérature nous amène à un imaginaire français historico-idéologique assez précis, celle de résister à la littérature même nous dérange et soulève plusieurs interrogations, la première étant pourquoi lui résister : par ambition politique, par ambition littéraire, par un cloisonnement artistique ? La revue souhaite s'interroger sur la question de la résistance et la littérature dans un sens large et nullement réduit au période de la 2^e guerre mondiale.

Reading / writing microfiction in Latin America: micro-identities, macro-transgressions

La micro-fiction fait partie des premières expressions littéraires de l’humanité. Ainsi, elle traverse de multiples expériences d’écriture de l’homme. Or, ce genre littéraire a une résonance particulière dans l’actualité latino-américaine due, en grande partie, aux nouvelles formes d’explorer l’espace de l’écriture cybernétique. Des nouveaux rapports réécrivent les distances culturelles, spatiales et temporelles d’une génération nomade. Dans le cadre des micro-fictions, l’étude de la construction d’un discours identitaire s’avère clé pour la définition de la spécificité d’un tel genre littéraire en Amérique latine. De la même façon, ceci nous permet de le replacer dans un contexte de mondialisation des échanges, références et cosmovisions. Nous mettrons en évidence ce double mouvement car nous considérons qu’une vision transculturelle définit non seulement les limites internes du genre, mais également ses possibles ramifications.

The Predatory Museum

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium

Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

New ports, pioneer ports (XIVth-XXIth centuries)

The Conference will address four topics: the creation of a port, the major enlargement of an existing port, the rapid transformation of a small port into a big harbour, or the temporary establishment of a port for economic or military reasons. The analysis includes commercial harbours and naval bases, as well as mixed ports. The concept of an “Atlantic port” refers to its location on the Atlantic Ocean or its extensions in the Channel, the North Sea and the Caribbean Sea. This includes the ports of the European, the African and American Atlantic littoral, as well as the metropolitan European and the African and American ports both as colonial ports and after their independence.
