Economy of leftovers and recycling
Social, political and environmental dynamics in the Global South
Economies built around waste – rubbish, unsold goods, surplus, scrap, used materials – are becoming increasingly important in the Global South. This issue therefore aims to examine these forms of economic activity from three main perspectives: environmental, socio-economic and political. The objective is to bring together empirical and theoretical work that documents, compares and problematises these waste economies based on surveys conducted in Southern countries, while taking into account the circulation and cross-influences with Northern countries. These ‘waste products’ can take various forms, which the issue intends to consider in an open and pluralistic perspective.

Emerging Practices in Technologies and Communication for Development
Digital technologies constitute a central factor in the transformation of contemporary societies, with artificial intelligence representing one of their most significant vectors. They simultaneously carry promises of innovation and participation, and act as vectors of dependency, exclusion, and renewed forms of domination. The aim is to explore the tensions that run through the imagination, uses and challenges of artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies, combining critical approaches, field studies and theoretical perspectives.

Geographies of Vulnerability. Assessing Protection in the Screening and Resettlement of Refugees
Central to policy discourses on refugee protection and resettlement is the imperative to include those with the greatest needs. International protection mechanisms for refugees increasingly aim to categorize and identify target populations according to their vulnerability. This topical collection recognizes vulnerability as fluid and contested, shaped by evolving policy landscapes and international cooperation dynamics and explores the impact of different understandings of vulnerability on access to protection and the aim of burden-sharing.

Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity
Espaces et Société n°200, march 2027
This special issue aims to highlight the spatial dimension of public goods maintenance and evolution in the context of austerity by adopting the spatial care perspective through three axes: 1) actors and practices involved in maintaining public goods; 2) maintaining public goods on a day-to-day basis; 3) the work and values of public goods. We encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experimentation, bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. This call is open to interdisciplinary, national and international contributions.

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.

Collection Société(s) : Langue(s) et culture(s) en dialogue
The word crisis, derived from the Greek word krisis, means judgment, decision. Conceptually speaking, “a crisis is an illness” (a conceptual metaphor justified diachronically by its etymological meaning of “the decisive phase of an illness”), or “it is a war”, if we focus on the meaning of “an outbreak with violent manifestations”. It is, therefore, a moment of major change. Our societies are plagued by successive and often overlapping crises, enabling them - if not forcing them - to evolve and transform themselves. The conference will focus on two parallel and complementary themes: “The economic crisis / The economy of the crisis” and “Discourse in a time of crisis”.

19th-21st centuries/European and American continents
El próximo número de la revista Amnis pretende alimentar la reflexión sobre la naturaleza de la conflictividad social. Para ello, invita a los especialistas del tema a proponer sus artículos, buscando la diversidad de enfoques y puntos de vista que podrán articularse alrededor de los siguientes ejes: las condiciones necesarias para la existencia del conflicto social, así como las consecuencias del mismo ; los actores de la conflictividad social, entendiendo como tales a los ciudadanos, las organizaciones sociales, las fuerzas del orden, el Estado o los medios de comunicación ; las formas de expresión de la conflictividad social ; el espacio en el que se desarrolla la conflictividad social, no solamente como territorio físico sino incluyendo las redes en un sentido organizativo o comunicativo ; el papel cumplido por el lenguaje, las representaciones y los medios de comunicación en un sentido amplio.

Être traduite, ou l’art de muer ?
Rita Laura Segato, Irma Velez y Pascale Molinier discuteront du dernier livre de Rita Laura Segato, traduit au français par Irma Velez : La Guerre aux femmes, Paris, Payot, 2022, la conversation aura lieu en espagnol avec des incursions en français. Aboutissement de vingt-cinq ans de réflexion et d’engagement, La Guerre aux femmes, qui paraît aujourd’hui pour la première fois en France, est déjà un classique partout ailleurs. Segato s’attache à y décrire les violences systémiques faites aux femmes, à montrer qu’elles sont le terreau de toutes les autres formes de violence, et à dégager les conditions d’une politique au féminin.

Les funérailles font-elles la paix ?
Approches pluridisciplinaires des réinhumations collectives en contextes de mort de masse (XX-XXIe siècles)
Ce colloque international constitue l’évènement scientifique de clôture du programme de recherche Transfunéraire financé par l’ANR de 2020 à 2023. Ce programme visait à étudier les fonctions symboliques et sociales assignées aux, et assumées par, les funérailles collectives dans les contextes contemporains marqués par la violence extrême ou des crise de mortalité. En analysant de façon comparative des inhumations collectives conduites en Europe et en Amérique Latine, il s’agissait de comprendre dans quelle mesure les funérailles constituaient un des ressorts de la résilience des sociétés marquées par la mort de masse au XXe siècle. Au-delà d’une interrogation sur les modalités et les enjeux de ces rituels intégrant un questionnement sur l’impact des exhumations, désormais incontournable dans tous ces contextes, notre objectif était de mieux saisir les transformations à l’œuvre dans le champ du funéraire.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
This edition of Savoirs en Prisme review proposes some reflexions on how their manner of conversing defines human societies. Nowadays the word conversation can refer to interactions without voice or body using predictive text and artificial intelligence. Can this type of communication meet the needs of human beings? Is not face-to-face conversation a necessity, almost an urgency at the moment? Literature and all forms of representations have bequeathed to us this principle present at the very core of societies.

Chinese public space, a shared space?
Espaces et Sociétés’ perspective on the Chinese city and urbanization, through a notion that is both distinctive and paradoxical in China: public space. The title of this call for papers, “Chinese public space, a shared space?” questions on the one hand the specific definition of Chinese public space, which is undergoing very rapid changes, and on the other hand its ability to be “shared” locally and internationally.
