  Gender in Slave and Post-Emancipation Societies in Global Contexts

  « Esclavages et Post-Esclavages / Slaveries and Post-Slaveries » Journal

  The last two decades have witnessed an uptick in the production of scholarly literature concerning enslaved, emancipated, and free women in slave societies in the Atlantic World. More recently, scholars have also begun to examine femininity and masculinity, nonbinary gender expression, nonnormative sexualities, and the family as lenses through which to understand the making and maintaining of those societies. In this special issue of Esclavages & Post-Esclavages / Slaveries & Post-Slaveries, the editors seek to build on and extend this work by focusing on gender, as an analytical frame and category, in slave and post-emancipation societies beyond and/or in comparison with the Atlantic basin. We aim to understand the influence of Atlantic world scholarship on global slave studies, while also attending to contextual distinctions outside of the Atlantic context.

  Urban Images in African Contexts

  In this special section, we seek to reimagine imagetic and urban practices and representations of the African continent, articulating two main fields, the visual and the urban. Here we want to reunite research that discouses discourses, imaginaries, representations, figurations, and politics about different African cities. Here we understand "images" in a broad sense, encompassing not only production and reproduction technologies, like photography and film but also virtual and digital, visual arts, and museum expositions. The purpose is not only to extend the debate over the field of the visual in different cities from an anthropological perspective. In this special section, we want to punctuate the implications of the imagens in a diversity of urban processes in the continent, emphasizing the plasticity of its forms and contents, its changes, its ambivalence, and opacity; beyond the debates about gender, agency, power, and resistance.

  Conference, symposium - America

  Cicatrices

  Association Almoreal

  Le colloque souhaite aborder la ou les cicatrice(s) en tant que marque d’une lacération, fruit d’une violence extrême et de conflits, qui témoigne d’un passé et d’un présent où ont été détruites et recomposées tout à la fois la géographie et la vie-même. L’historien y aura recours pour donner à voir les conséquences d’un événement violent ; l’artiste jouera de son ambivalence pour la représenter ou l’évoquer sur le mode analogique, imaginaire. Chaque interprétation est validée par un récit qui la sous-tend, visant l’inscription d’une douleur dans l’espace. Le colloque est ouvert à tous les hispanistes spécialistes de littérature, arts, cinéma, linguistique, histoire, civilisation, sciences sociales et humaines. Nous attirons cependant votre attention sur le fait que seront privilégiées les propositions mettant en avant les notions de trace et de récit, et non une perspective purement métaphorique.

  Crises in the Americas

  Revue « RITA » N°16

  Crises are generally understood as undesirable, unexpected and contingent situations. In this issue of RITA, we wish to question the production of these phenomena that are calledcrises, from “laissez-faire” to “negligence”; from the banalization of the crisis in media oracademic discourse to the enunciation processes of public authorities. In “times of crises”, theywill justify more directly the imposition of social, economic or even military measures.

  The world of sports in the Americas and their political, cultural and social representations

  Amerika Journal n°25

  Sporting events mark the center of interest in the social life for many countries in the world. However, if we focus on the Americas, this importance is even more obvious. Sport becomes a reason for encounter, community, and connection. It brings out levels of interest and reinforces local, regional or beyond that, the game that is often unparalleled. Few people escape the passion that surrounds a country in the face of success in global competitions. This phenomenon, based on collective pride, pushes boundaries and includes even the most critical viewers. Can we consider this contradiction one of the keys to success?

  Multilingualism / plurilingualism, teaching and learning, complexity and integrity

  Epistemological, pedagogical and political perspectives

  This colloquium, to be held at the Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 (France), a university that has worked on a dozen national and international projects on this subject over the last 20 years, aims to question the treatment of multilingualism in teaching and learning from the point of view of ethics and integrity, both theoretical and practical, considering the complexities of reality (context, variable scales from nano to micro). Seven areas of study are proposed (see the call). In addition to multilingual plenary lectures by internationally renowned researchers, the conference will offer multilingual workshop presentations, symposia, poster sessions, interdisciplinary and multi-category round tables, including national and international institutions, to reflect the complex dimensions and the integrity goal sought.

  From disability to human variation. Old narratives, new narratives

  European and American societies 19th-21st centuries

  The title of this issue of Amnis journal, ‘From disability to human variation’, reflects the concern of disability studies to move away from thinking of disability as a stigma and to consider it within a vast field that embraces all forms of bodily, sensory and cognitive diversity within the human community. In order to address the question from a broad spectrum, papers should focus on the following areas: Disabilities, struggles and social movements (from exclusion to ‘nothing about us without us’), Disability policies (national and/or transnational historical approaches), Disabled bodies and ideological constructs, Disability and identity, a category to be understood in an intersectional way.

  The Book in Its Time: Places, Materials, Forms and Techniques

  The Book is a phenomenon that combines the fascination of its manifestations of yesteryear to the current debates and practices that announce future paths and dilemmas. We propose in this call an exercise that recovers the procedures and techniques that gained body to welcome another invention, that of writing, which inscribes the history of copyists, printing typographers who moved between cities and countries in search of business, that of their emergence in monasteries, courts, universities, binder workshops and typographies, that of street vendors and that of the production and marketing circuits.

  The Sustainable Development Goals under scrutiny

  « Revue internationale des études du développement » n°253 (2023-3)

  A new international framework for development, called the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, emerged in 2015 as a result of the rise of sustainable development as a dominant paradigm for development and of the criticisms addressed to the MDGs. The new agenda established 17 development goals instead of 8 (MDGs). The SDGs made some progress compared to the MDGs. Because they target common challenges like climate change, the reach and legitimacy of the SDGs were extended. As we stand midway towards the set deadlines for achievement, it is time to question the relevance, foundations and the implementation of the SDGs. It also seems legitimate to question their universal and inclusive character, and their actual outcomes since 2015 by using critical and contexual approaches.

  Géographies du Sahara : nouveaux enjeux de recherche et renouvellement des méthodes

  Cahiers « L’Ouest saharien »

  The Sahara is one of the most difficult regions in the world for researchers to access. Despite this, geographical research on the Sahara remains dynamic. A desert space often considered as "empty", it offers strong and constantly renewed problems and issues: desertification, resource management and gold rush, migration and smuggling, border issues, etc. At the time of the Anthropocene, what can living, working and circulating on the margins of the ecumene teach us today? Three axes are proposed: memories, mutations, marginalities and Saharan centralities.

  Performativités noires

  Archives des corps noirs dans l’art de la performance en Amérique latine : une esthétique diasporique ?

  Ce colloque, dédié aux performances artistiques dans une dimension élargie, a pour ambition de porter un regard nouveau sur les répertoires de ces arts dans l’espace géographique, politique, social et économique de l’Amérique latine. Le but étant de discuter les transformations de la catégorie « performance » à partir de la présence du corps noir et du renouvellement de sources matérielles et immatérielles, terrains, méthodes et formats de recherche que cette présence demande. Pour cela, nous invitons à soumettre des propositions de contributions de formats divers (communications, interventions artistiques, entre autres) sur des travaux de performance qui relèvent de la scène artistique, manifestations visuelles, sonores et spatiales en Amérique latine, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire autour des esthétiques relevant de la diaspora africaine et des instrumentalisations des corps comme archives mémorielles.

  L’analyse de réseaux

  Objets, méthodes, perspectives

  Combinant les approches qualitatives et quantitatives, les échelles macro et micro, l’analyse relationnelle enrichie par ces nouveaux dispositifs de modélisation de corpus et de données permet d’appréhender de façon renouvelée les systèmes complexes de fonctionnement des sociétés du passé, leurs institutions et leurs structures de pouvoir, autant que leurs dynamiques culturelles. Dès lors, plusieurs questions s’imposent : comment les nouveaux outils de recherche disponibles renouvellent-ils la désormais classique « analyse de réseaux » ? Comment l’analyse de réseaux est-elle pratiquée aujourd’hui dans les différents domaines de la science historique ?

  Éthique, citoyenneté et enjeux éducatifs dans l’enseignement-apprentissage des langues

  Ética, ciudadanía y retos educativos en la enseñanza- aprendizaje de las lenguas

  Dans une société plurielle et aussi diverse que la nôtre, nous sommes amenés à nous interroger sur l’évolution des modalités de l’enseignement-apprentissage des langues. Par conséquent, quel est le nouveau pacte d’enseignement-apprentissage des langues capable de mettre en avant des pratiques éducatives fondées sur l’éthique et visant à former des citoyens dont l’identité s’enracine non pas dans la singularité mais dans la pluralité ? À la lumière de différentes approches disciplinaires (didactique des langues et des cultures, sciences de l’éducation, linguistique, sociologie, sciences politiques, droits de l’Homme, etc.), ce colloque sera l’occasion de réfléchir ensemble aux liens entre éthique et citoyenneté en contexte scolaire. L’objectif sera de partager des stratégies et des outils qui promeuvent l’éducation à la citoyenneté et aux droits de l’Homme en cours de langue (enseignement primaire, secondaire ou supérieur).

  La dynamique de l’identité basque : polyphonie sociale, réalignement politique et recréation artistique (2009-2020)

  « Atlante : revue d’études romanes » numéro 19 (Automne 2023)

  Atlante : revue d’études romanes, publiée par l’université de Lille, lance un appel à contribution pour un numéro consacré au changement des représentations de l’identité basque dans les productions culturelles contemporaines. Il s’agira d’interroger l’impact que la nouvelle période politique, ouverte avec la dissolution de l’ETA et l’entrée du parti EH Bildu au Congrès, a sur les créations littéraires, audiovisuelles et artistiques. L’évolution des sensibilités de la population, en particulier à partir de la tension entre les sentiments basquistes et/ou espagnolistes, émerge dans des romans, séries ou spectacles actuels, nourrissant ainsi la construction d’un discours polyphonique sur l’histoire récente.

  Cordel Literature: new perspectives, new approaches

  Jangada Journal #20

  Due to its thematic, poetic, and expressive diversity, the cordel witnessed, narrated, and recorded several national history moments. Even though only men mastered the art of composing and singing in verse initially, little by little, women also took the stage. Nowadays, poets adjust national and international interest themes to their meter, rhyme, and clause. They denounce the system’s falsities and contradictions; they question decisions and mock hypocrisy without, however, losing that aura of playfulness and wonder that has consecrated the cordel among us. Originally handwritten and later in printed versions, cordel has maintained a strong connection with the voice and culture of fairs and squares, the fey and laughter of rogue heroes, and the feeling of indignation of the less favored and the exaltation of legendary braves since the end of the 19th century. More recent researchers drew attention to the relationship between cordel and its singers’ orality and body performance while singing poetry and African griots. In this thematic issue, we propose to host papers concerning the most varied studies on cordel literature and its cultural practices.
