  Progressive goverments and postneoliberalism in Latin America - the end of the golden Age?

  Depuis l’élection d’Hugo Chávez, en 1998, dix pays latino-américains ont choisi une alternance gouvernementale à gauche, articulée autour de projets de type progressistes ou nationalistes-populaires. Après avoir été le laboratoire du néo-libéralisme, l’Amérique latine serait ainsi devenue celui de sa contestation, avec le surgissement d’exécutifs critiquant le « consensus de Washington », dans certains cas issus de puissants mouvements sociaux et/ou de profondes crises des systèmes politiques traditionnels.

  The New Medieval Lisbon 1147-1217

  The Ways of the West and the East

  Between the 23rd and 25th of October 2017, the Institute for Medieval Studies (IEM) will organize the V colloquium “The New Medieval Lisbon”. The commemorative evocation of the conquests of Lisbon in 1147 and of Alcácer do Sal in 1217 is the pretext for a broader debate not only around these events, their meaning and impact, but also on its wider context, and on the diversity of the ways that, at the time, were being shaped and reshaped, both in the peninsular context and in the wider scenarios which linked the West to the East.

  The spaces of social work

  Espaces et sociétés

  There are many studies in the social sciencestracing the history of social work and analyzing its practices, but the diversity of the spaces in which this practice takes place is rarely a central focus. Indeed, social work operates in a multitude of physical and social spaces – urban, periurban and rural areas, city centres and suburbs, working-class neighbourhoods and slum districts, public and private spaces, open and closed environments, involving publics that may be captive, sedentary, nomadic or itinerant. And the relationships between these publics and their respective spaces are multiple as well.

  Political and Social Challenges to Walking in Town

  Revue « Espaces et sociétés »

  Urban planning has given walking two very different roles in the city: as a secondary mode of travel within the transportation system and as a leisure activity in privileged settings such as parks and centre-city tourist sites and shopping areas. Far from being universal, pedestrian access is thus quite unequal from one urban area or population group to another.

  Births in Latin America

  Changes in practices and social norms

  Don de dieu accepté sans planification par une large majorité, la naissance d’un enfant est devenue un événement moins fréquent dans la vie des latino-américain-e-s. Cette transition démographique de la fécondité s’est accompagnée d’une médicalisation croissante de la vie reproductive : planification familiale et contraception, suivi des grossesses et des accouchements, aide à la conception. Les évolutions des comportements, des normes sociales et biomédicales qui les fondent, ainsi que celles des politiques sociales, familiales, démographiques, entraînent un renouvellement des problématiques sociétales et de recherche liées à la naissance d’un enfant et à la fécondité.

  The politics and poetics of museology

  40th annual ICOFOM symposium

  It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.

  Streets in every way

  Iberian worlds - Europe, America, Africa, Asia, 19th-21st centuries

  Élément constituant de la ville, la rue a beaucoup évolué au fil des siècles. Assurant la mise en relation des lieux, des fonctions et des groupes sociaux, elle est une forme urbaine qui a une configuration, une architecture, une histoire. Elle a ses logiques, ses dynamiques et ses usages. Ses pratiques et ses représentations sont liées à l’espace urbain dans lequel elle s’inscrit ; elles dépendent aussi de facteurs politiques et socio-économiques. Le « sens » de la rue pouvant donc varier considérablement, il est nécessaire d’aborder celle-ci sous l’angle d’un certain relativisme, en gardant présente à l’esprit la notion d’échelle. Ce colloque envisage la rue dans les mondes ibériques à travers ses dimensions fonctionnelles, socio-économiques, politiques et culturelles, au prisme des lieux et des éléments qui la composent, de ses acteurs et de ses créations. Quatre axes seront privilégiés : la « rue de l’urbaniste » ; Un espace socio-économique : lieu de passage et d’échanges ; Un espace symbolique : « ordre et désordres » ; Un espace de création artistique et langagière

  Sandinismo 2.0: Neo-Authoritarianism, Oligarchy, and New Ideological Reconfigurations of the Political in Contemporary Nicaragua

  Cahiers des Amériques latines

  Ce dossier s’intéresse à la fois aux transformations du modèle « révolutionnaire » sandiniste et aux spécificités d’une économie politique insérée dans l’Alba (Alliance bolivarienne pour les peuples de notre Amérique), « bonne élève » du Fond monétaire international et désormais clairement tournée vers l’extraction et l’exploitation des ressources naturelles. Il entend interroger le cas nicaraguayen comme celui d’un pays illustratif du développement de nouvelles formes d’autoritarisme, d’exploitation et d’insertion dans le système mondial.

  Feminism in Latin America and in the Caribbean (20th-21st centuries): identities and issues

  Revue « Amerika »

  La lutte pour l'émancipation des femmes est un processus lent qui s'est développé en vagues successives. Le féminisme latino-américain des années 1960 et 1970, marqué par des influences européennes et nord-américaines, est majoritairement composé de femmes des classes moyennes, parfois issues des mouvements révolutionnaires de la fin des années 1960 (Mouvement étudiant de 1968). Peu à peu les militantes féministes se rapprochent des mouvements populaires où les femmes sont engagées sur le plan politique, syndical, religieux. L'objectif de ce dossier est d'étudier les différentes modalités d'expression  et manifestations du féminisme latino-américain ainsi que ses représentations (arts visuels, littérature, médias) dans ses particularités actuelles, en tâchant d'évaluer les résistances qui proviennent de la société civile et/ou des institutions (État, Église).

  5th international congress “Sport, doping and society”

  The 5th international congress “Sport, doping and society” is organized by the Spanish Agency for Health Protection in Sport (AEPSAD) and the Technical University of Madrid (UPM). Under the theme “Think Clean”, there will be presented the results of scientific researches and new methodologies in the field of doping in sport from the specific perspective of Human and Social Sciences. We believe that this initiative will contribute to identify the factors that influence the use of doping substances and methods. From this knowledge we hope to foster future prevention and doping control and to promote ethical behavior in sport.

  Tourism, travels, Utopias

  Review Études Caribéennes n° 38, 2017

  This issue of the Revue Études Caribéennes (Journal of Caribbean Studies) addresses the meaning of travelling and tourism in the context of a globalized economy and culture and the turbulent geopolitical changes occurred in recent decades. Is Utopia, a concept of utmost importance in the genesis and purpose of tourism, still a relevant topic today? This concept has a profound influence on our behavior toward the Other and Elsewhere. However, it is necessary to question the very meaning of utopias in the world of travel, especially if they are primarily considered as tourist acts of consuming places. Beyond the initial fantasy and vain exoticism, are imagination and dreams still relevant topics in an era of hyperconnectivity when planning our vacations, adventures or expeditions?

  The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance

  "Forma" Revista d'estudis comparatius. Art, literatura, pensament

  Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

  Common goods and territories

  We observe today an outbreak of initiatives based on the concept of “common goods” in the context of planning, urbanism and territorial development. The current call for papers aims at gathering contributions from various disciplines and to shed light on this (re)emerging concept. A second aim is to address how the use of this concept renews (or not) the “territorial fabric” in Europe and in the world.

  Sedition and Revolt in Modern European Political Thought

  As part of the ANR project “Cultures of Revolts and revolutions in Europe”, we wish to bring together international contributors in a discussion of the european political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects.
