Class, Race and Place in the US South

American Politics through the Lens of Michael Goldfield’s Work

Recent events in the United States remind us to what extent the South is both a place of distinctive identities and a space sharing a common heritage. According to the political scientist Michael Goldfield, “The South is a distinctive, atypical part of the United States; it is also, however, America writ large”" (Goldfield, 2020). These specificities are inscribed in social, cultural, political and, according to the author, above all economic structures, in a configuration that makes any definition of the “South” problematic. For this conference, we propose three different angles of approach: the interaction between race, class and capital; the spatial dimension of these interactions; the causes for and the perpetuation of racism in the United States.

Analysis of relics, hagiographic legends and Carolingian memories

Around the body of the Apostle James the Greater in Toulouse

Since the 14th century, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse has been proud to possess the entire body of James the Greater. After a first preparatory seminar on 11 March 2019 in Toulouse (Vraies et fausses reliques: un vrai faux problème), a workshop was held on 10 December 2021 (Les reliques toulousaines de Jacques le Majeur), focusing on the material aspects (examination of bones, reliquaries, and authentic items). In a final stage, the results of these analyses should be put into perspective during a meeting which would lead to the writing of a monograph bringing together all the studies carried out on the relics of Saint James in Toulouse.

Call for papers - Political studies

Polls as a means of political legitimation

Today, the importance of opinion polls must be discussed in the context of an increasing “doxophrenia”, i.e., the obsessive need to quantify opinions, and an increasing mistrust (of citizens as well as political actors) towards opinion polls. The focus of this conference is thus on questions of legitimacy and legitimation as well as opinion polls as an instrument of political communication: polling expertise considered both as a method of forecasting and political framing.

Queering Blackness

Non-Binary Black Representations in Post-Obama Popular Cultures

The election of Barack Obama to the American presidency has ushered in a so-called “post-racial” era. This phenomenon is spreading to all popular media, from television and its hit series to comics and video games. It is from this observation of representations of black identities, which question any form of binarity and operate intersectional deployments within African American popular cultures, that the main question at the origin of this project emerges. Based on papers about these representations in the popular arts, accessible to a large majority as well as within the Black American community, this one-day conference aims to examine the evolution of these representations over the past ten years and the obvious efforts to move away from the binary normative representations still attributed to U.S. racial minorities—more so than to the so-called dominant white majority.

What is Central Europe and what is Eastern Europe ?

The name of the region in the academic discourse in Poland and France

A wide variety of terms is used today to describe the region that lies between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas, such as Central Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Central-Eastern Europe, East Central Europe and Europe médiane. However, the absence of a clear definition of the region continues to challenge researchers.

Decentering the analysis of Africa-China relations

Revue internationale des études du développement n°251 (2023-1)

The question put forward by the vast majority of works studying the relations between Africa and China is “What is China doing in Africa? What are the Chinese doing in Africa?”, thus often overlooking the anthropological dimension of social, economic, and political change in which African actors can reclaim their place, in other words an approach that would decenter China and the Chinese in order to shed light on the microfoundations of the macroprocesses of development by examining Africa and Africans. Agency – or agentivité as it is now commonly called in French – is defined here as the ability to effect or introduce socio-economic and political changes in the arena in which the actors are involved. By addressing the question of African agentive practices and norms in Afro-Chinese relations, this call for papers therefore leads to decentering China to focus on Africa.

Hybridation des formations : de la continuité à l’innovation pédagogique ?

If the question of the hybridization of training finds a particular echo today, it is however not recent and does not date from the current crisis linked to the covid-19 pandemic. As soon as telecommunications became popular, educational programs were offered on radio and television - generally under the expression of distance learning - thus making it possible to combine presence and absence in specific educational systems. Ticemed 13 aims to draw up an inventory of the relationship between education and digital technology in a post-covid context. However, and as far as possible, it is hoped that communication proposals link recent events to past initiatives in order to (re)put them into perspective.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

AntiAtlas of Epistemicide

AntiAtlas of Epistemicide is a collaborative artistic and scientific project that brings together notices and synthetic articles on epistemicides, past or present, anywhere on the planet. The articles collected in this book will be accompanied by a map designed specifically for each example of an epistemicide. The question being as singular as it is unfathomable, this project does not have an encyclopedic aim, but to the contrary, to establish a non-exhaustive and subjective atlas, assumed to be both a scientific work and an artistic catalogue. As all disciplinary fields are concerned by this question, antiAtlas of Epistemicide is opening its call for contributions to a authors of all disciplinary affiliations.

Return to animality: theoretical perspectives, cultural approaches and artistic manifestations

In the context of ontological uncertainty, but also of the tragic collapse of biodiversity and the environment, in which preoccupations for the future of man and his relationship with other species increase, how shall one preserve a definition of human being? It is thus pressing to reflect on the future of humanity from new perspectives that might assume a return to a certain animality or even to a reanimalization of man. The aim of this colloquium is to create a plural and interdisciplinary space for reflection on these issues, calling for a dialogue between different perspectives and disciplines.

Photography and models: histories of the nude

The sixth issue of the journal Photographica aims to explore the question of the nude model in photography. Following Wendy Grossman’s study of the model Adrienne Fidelin (published in Photographica no. 2 (April 2021) in a study that is both deconstructivist and analytical of the uses of the medium) and building on a reflection on the very genre of nude photography – both female and male – this new issue of Photographica (April 2023) seeks to question the role of the model in the history of photography: How can we consider and look at this historically massive part of photographic production today, and to what extent can it represent a subject of study? What does the object “nude photography” reveal with regard to processes of normalization, domination, and production in the history of photography? How does this photographic form influence its circulation and lead to new modes of distribution? What is a model in photography and how can the history of photography deal with this subject?

Chercheuse ou chercheur post-doctorant-e dans le projet « AnthropoSouth »

Latin American Oil Revolutions in the Development Century project (Graduate Institute Geneva)

Postdoctoral position as part of the SNSF-funded “AnthropoSouth”: Latin American Oil Revolutions in the Development Century Eccellenza Project, under the leadership of Prof. Antoine Acker (Department of International History and Politics). The researcher will be affiliated to the Centre for International Environmental Studies (CIES) at IHEID. The major innovation of the project is to develop the first research team that will seek to build a place for Latin America as a continent in the Anthropocene narrative. By shedding light on chains of political intentionality that pursued alternatives to the Western capitalist energy model, this new geographic perspective will make a substantial contribution to pluralizing and denaturalizing the history of human-induced geological and climatic change.

Conference, symposium - Sociology

Realtà mediali

Sociologia, semiotica e arte negli immaginari e nelle rappresentazioni

This three-day international conference, organized in mixed mode at the University of Palermo and sponsored by the Dipartment "Cultures and Society" and the ADILLI, intends to adress the ways in which reality is represented and mediated today through digital technologies and creative approaches to the arts, both of those belonging to the more traditional classifications and of the more recent ones, and how the different narratives of today's contexts are “brought to the stage” by them. The interpretation of the theme, given its complexity and vastness, will be interdisciplinary and will have a dissemination approach, to allow for as broad a dialogue as possible between the partecipants and the public, in a spirit of research and sharing.

Call for papers - Religion

African Islam or Muslim Africa

The objective of the study-day, which is intended for Africanists and researchers in different disciplines, is to deconstruct the religious matrix in Africa and question extremist aberrations, in a bid to understand their underpinnings and attempt to propose solutions to them. The participants might want to address the following questions: what are the characteristics and the forms that the practice of faith in Africa takes? How has Islam adapted itself to the realities of cultural and ethnic diversity in Africa? Is there now a purely “African” Islam? How does Islam fare in societies that are politically secular?

Learning from territories / Teaching territories

In German (lehren / lernen) as in Arabic (تعليم / تعلم), a single letter distinguishes the concept of teaching from the concept of learning. Whether defined as a theoretical object of scientific knowledge that can be taught or as a body of practices that can be passed on, there is no escaping the need to address the issue of the relationship between the apparent universality of the concept of territory, on the one hand, and the variety of uses to which the term is put and the range of practices associated with it, on the other. The sixth CIST conference will focus on two questions: how to teach about territories (academic knowledge, empirical methods, disciplinary approaches, etc.) and how to learn from territories (observing, exploring, describing, experiencing, etc.).

AMAES – Études médiévales anglaises, numéro 100

On the occasion of its anniversary issue, Études médiévales anglaises invites papers on the measuring of time, as well as on the marginal treatment of time in ritualized celebrations which punctuate daily life, sometimes subverting its usual hierarchies, as in the case of carnival and misrule. Papers can consider material representations of time and its measure, as well as the subtle representation of past, present and future in medieval literature.

Conference reports - online journal "Quaderna"

La revue Quaderna souhaite reposer des questions au croisement des disciplines et des aires culturelles en faisant appel à des contributions d’universitaires et d’artistes, d’écrivains, de musiciens… Parce que penser au point de rencontre des langues et des disciplines est plus que jamais fondamental, cette revue espère ainsi à la fois réaffirmer la pluridisciplinarité qui fonde les études universitaires et contribuer au débat scientifique en créant un dialogue entre aires culturelles. Dans le cadre de sa rubrique « Comptes rendus de colloques », il s'agit de recevoir des contributions dont les signataires seraient prinipalement des doctorant·es et de jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs, mais pas uniquement. Les comptes rendus de colloques et autres événements scientifiques pourront par conséquent porter sur des sujets variés, touchant à la fois plusieurs aires géographico-culturelles ainsi que des disciplines inhérentes aux sciences humaines avec une approche transdisciplinaire.

Intimacies under Tension from, and In, the Arab-Muslim Worlds

Since the advent of the affective turn, when the humanities and social sciences began to pay increased attention to the objectification of emotions, studies on the “intimate” have increased exponentially. As an analytical category, intimacy allows to question dominant and normative visions of the private and the public spheres, and to understand how they are reproduced, challenged, and/or transgressed. Intimacy can therefore be considered as a political process. By encouraging the exploration of new methods of field research, this issue of L’Année du Maghreb is also opening up to “alternative” forms of ethnographic restitution.
