1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)
The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

In Search of Rights: social movements, judicial institutions and public policies
Ciências Sociais Unisinos Vol. 56, nº 3 (september - december 2020)
The global expansion of the judiciary and access to justice has highlighted institutions of the justice system that focus on defending social rights. Realizing the judicial path as an important way in the search for access to health rights, education, social assistance, among others, social movements began to equip themselves legally to work with judicial institutions. Judicial and also extrajudicial appeals, without the so-called judicialization, are increasingly frequent. The proposed Dossier aims to present the debate on the effects of interaction between social movements, judicial institutions and public policies, theoretically and empirically discussing questions about how social movements mobilize law and judicial institutions to claim and guarantee access to rights? How does this interaction impact the production of public policies? How do mobilizations through judicial institutions affect the different stages of public policy? What are the new governance standards installed from these interactions? And, on the other hand, what are the effects of the use of judicial strategy on social movements?

#MariellePresente - Transnational Resistances
The Gender and Diversity Journal, a feminist and queer review from the northeastern region of Brazil, invites everyone to submit articles, essays, interviews, field journals, reports and other texts for the special issue entitled "#MariellePresente: Transnational Resistances". The texts must describe and analyze the transnational responses following the assassination of the Brazilian Marielle Franco. She was a black woman from the favela, political activist, feminist and lesbian. She was murdered at the corner of a street in Rio de Janeiro in March 2018. Given the political nature of her assassination, many actions denouncing the crime were organized around the world.

Clomparative perspectives in the sociology of professional groups, the sociology of gender and the the sociology of migrations
The object of this session is the sociological theorization of the relation between gender and profession. Today, the question is less the exclusion of women from work defined as professional, considering their feinization, than their routine inclusion in ill-defined support roles. The presentations could cross several approaches (of sociology of professional groups, gender, migrations, intersectionality...) to deal with issues like :inequalities in women's access to certain professions, male resistance to women's carrers, delegation of "dirty work", the specific and cultural construction of a masculinist vision of profession work, how professions professes gender, the effects of liberalisation of professions (in many sectors like Health, Culture or Law) on their feminization...

LabEx Céba "Plastic" theme school
L’école thématique PLASTIC a pour objectif de proposer un cadre de recherche pluridisciplinaire sur la conceptualisation socioécologique de la notion de planification spatiale (territoriale) dite « résiliente ». Le caractère polysémique du concept de planification sous-tend qu’il s’agit bien plus d’une diversité de savoir-faire que de généralités théoriques. Dans sa dimension environnementale, elle favorise l’émergence, la mise en œuvre et la diffusion des savoir-faire qui privilégient l’opérationnalisation des préceptes du développement durable. La durabilité est actuellement traitée par l’économie écologique à partir de la notion de « substitualité limitée » dudit « capital naturel ». Contrairement à la stabilité inhérente à la notion de durabilité, dans cette nouvelle perspective, la question de la limite y est fréquemment abordée sous l’angle de la résilience.

Thinking Latin-American Right-Wings in the XXth Century
This conference is the continuation of two previous conferences held in France (2014) and Argentina (2016) which saw the gradual emergence of a community of researchers working on the questions of identities, ideas, practices and discourses of actors and movements from Latin American rightwing. It is difficult to establish the precise conceptual limits of the rightwing because of the heterogeneity and plurality of the groups and movements that have historically been part of this family and which are thus characterized by the presence of diverse political traditions. It is therefore essential to imagine flexible boundaries when considering rightwing history and taking into account the changes it experienced over time. Our purpose is not to establish canonical definitions, but rather to contribute to set general frameworks for this field of study whose historical relevance and actuality are no longer to be demonstrated, but whose limits and fundamental characteristics are still debated.

Prim@ Facie, Vol 15, No 29 (2016)
We are especially interested in manuscripts on social rights and democracy. Our intent is to prepare a set of discussions on how democracies promote social rights today, i.e., to what extent social movements, legal institutions, parliaments and executive power are able to find solutions to the challenges of democracies today? Have, for example, affirmative action, housing and health care programs, and even direct financial assistance to the poor actually reduced inequality? In addition, what are the most effective solutions for poverty? Are courts the best way to ensure social rights today? We are also interested in papers that address the costs of social programs. These are some of the possibilities, but many other questions may be brought to the table. We encourage submissions based on historical approaches carried out by jurists, political scientists, historians, sociologists, and other professionals in fields that have particular focus on legal problems.

Marcos do pensamento Ocidental
Le projet a été conçu à partir de quatre européens qui ont fortement influencé la pensée occidentale au cours du XXe siècle. Leurs œuvres sont une référence quand il s’agit de questions impliquant la transdisciplinarité, et, en même temps, d’une perspective non-eurocentrique. Malgré la spécifité de chacun de ces discours, on peut les rassembler autour tant de la problématique du privilège du temps présent que de la production de subjectivité. La répercussion de leurs travaux au Brésil et en Amérique Latine n’a jamais cessé de jeter des lumières sur les enjeux concernant l’ethos de ces pays et ses lectures possibles.

Education, ethics and politics in contemporary times
Dans un moment où l’air du temps impose des ruptures (et pas encore une continuité) par rapport à l’ordre établi, la relation entre éthique, politique et éducation se donne à penser. Non pas comme « objet », mais comme interpellation vitale. La pensée française joue un rôle pivot en ce qui concerne les questions contemporaines d’intégration des différences culturelles (la philosophie de la différence) et de réflexion sur les enjeux politiques qui en découlent (l’idée d’une démocratie à venir).

Criatividade e protagonismo indígenas
O dossiê da próxima edição dos Cadernos de Arte e Antropologia tem como tema “Criatividade e Protagonismo Indígenas”, em distintos contextos etnográficos e sob diversas abordagens teóricas e metodológicas. Trata-se de um tema que tem adquirido crescente visibilidade e interesse como consequência, entre outros fatores, do seu potencial transformador no plano das relações sociais e políticas internas e externas às sociedades indígenas, podendo ser surpreendido, ademais, através de expressões individuais e coletivas e de recortes múltiplos (de gênero, geracional, e etc). O dossiê dará um foco especial às questões estéticas e artísticas, sempre que estas estejam relacionadas ao tema principal. -

Doing Gender 10 – Current Challenges of Feminisms, Thematic Symposia n°076
Historically, the Gay Liberation Movement emerged as a collective wish for social transformation regarding sexual practice, sex roles, gender prescriptions and the privitization/commodification of relationships. The movement was situated in a context of other movements for visionary social change regarding race, citizenship, women’s autonomy, children’s rights, national identity, regional self-determination and a revolution in the distribution of wealth. The AIDS crisis propelled a profound transformation of the LGBT community from a political movement to a consumer group. Abrupt changes in media representation, psychological consequences of the mass death experience, and the impact of widespread loss of generations and individuals in traumatic and sudden ways resulted in the grassroots Gay Liberation Movement fading into history, to be replaced by a Gay Rights Movement, controlled from the top down by national organizations with paid staff and LGBT individuals situated within ruling political parties, lobbying from within the cultural frameworks of those constructions. This confluence of Rights and Nation States, lead to what Rutgers Professor Jasbir Puar called “Homonationalism”, the granting of Gay Rights in the service of state interests rooted in supremacy ideology about race, gender, class and ethnicity. -
