Labor market trajectories and life course of youth with a migration background

Reaserch workshop panel - 15th International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion (IMISCOE) Annual Conference

So far, comparative research on immigrants’ descendants and on migrants focus more on the comparison of cross-sectional indicators and on the degree of inequalities on those outcomes in education and the labor market. We invite submissions of papers tackling questions related to the analysis of the trajectories of immigrants' descendants and/or young migrants on the labour market. The contributions might use qualitative or quantitative data but we especially welcome contributions based on a mixed methods design or on longitudinal (retrospective or panel) data. International or regional comparative studies are also welcome.

Euro-African memories: Colonial and postcolonial Spanish legacies in Morocco and Equatorial Guinea

Despite the fact that there were significant differences between Moroccan and Equatorial Guinean colonisation, it is clear that a series of socio-cultural, linguistic and evangelising practices of Spanish colonialism did leave an imprint on these two countries as did other European colonial experiences. First of all, we know for a fact that socio-cultural policies created two separate legal frameworks (one for colonists and one for the autochthonous population), but we do not know exactly how most of the everyday conflicts and tensions that used to arise between the two groups were solved. Second, other practices that were carried out as part of the colonists' hispanicisation language policies lingered in Morocco and took root in Equatorial Guinea, eventually leading to unequal management in both territories.

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages

Husbandry, poultry and draught beasts in Late Medieval Europe

Farm animals, now and in the past, are mid-way between production and household consumption. They can be a resource of meet and secondary products (milk, butter, cheese, eggs, honey, wax), or an investment in productivity (draught animals) and manure. They could be young, strong specimens or, conversely, old and weaker ones, which could be acquire in the second hand market for a lower price. In this two-day seminar, a number of scholars from Spain, Italy, France and England will share evidence of these phenomena in the light of the current debates of the rural economic and social history of the later middle ages in their respective areas under exploration.

Conference, symposium - Urban studies

Cathedrals and Mosques: Building Urban Memories and Landscapes in Southern Europe (12th - 14th centuries)

This international conference will discuss interdisciplinary questions regarding the importance of cathedrals and mosques in the definition of memory and urban landscape in the medieval Mediterranean from the twelfth to the fourteenth centuries. Our research aims at analysing the role these two buildings played in configuring the urban fabric of the Mediterranean world. One of our primary objectives is to understand how these buildings defined medieval landscape and urban space. How did they modify and condition the social and functional organisation of their urban surroundings? What architectural features contributed to their place in civic memory (decoration, architectural style and building techniques)? We are interested in the place they occupy in their cities’ urban planning and topography.

Summer School - History

The presence of the absent: History, memory, post-memory

Europe-Latin America, 20th-21st centuries

If History as a discipline evokes the past from the present, the activity of memory is the product of the eruption of the past in the present. The absent is made present according to this phenomenological difference, although this distinctive mark is not what has sparked the reaction of historiography. This workshop aims to delve into the links and differences between history and memory in order to approach new issues that allow us to reflect on historians’ activity in democratic societies where the past has ceased to be a monopoly of professional representation.

Las siete partidas - normative codification for a new world

Une codification normative pour un nouveau monde

Las siete partidas est un code unique de droit civil dans l’Europe médiévale. Suivant le modèle du Corpus Iuris Civilis, ce document est un vrai code, complet et systématique, organisé en livres, en titres et en lois, qui contraste formellement avec les autres grandes œuvres légales de l'Europe du XIII^e siècle. Dans le même temps, Las siete partidas ont été la source du système légal du royaume médiéval de Castille-Léon, et plus tard, de l'Espagne moderne et de tous les pays de langue espagnole colonisés par la métropole. Las siete partidas ont eu par ailleurs un profond impact sur les autres royaumes péninsulaires du monde hispanophone en raison de sa traduction en portugais, catalan et galicien

Conference, symposium - Sociology

Una perspectiva conectada de América Latina. La difusión de ideas y de experiencias entre categorías sociales.

“Estudos sociais”, painel: 12/59, 56° Congresso Internacional de Americanistas

O eixo temático deste simpósio propõe abordar a dimensão vertical e horizontal da circulação de práticas e conhecimentos entre categorias sociais. Trata-se de articular a inter-relação da perspectiva social com a aproximação espacial das dinâmicas através das quais circulam e às quais estão veiculadas ideias e experiências. A articulação de ambos os aspectos permitiria revelar a complexidade desta relação e refletir sobre os mecanismos teóricos que evidenciam a permeabilidade social entre as práticas, conhecimentos e ideias.

Exclusion and social discipline in the Medieval city in Europe

14th international meetings of the Middle Ages in Nájera

In the late Middle Ages, exclusion became a basic instrument for urban governance, as it enabled lay and ecclesiastical leaders to maintain their control over urban dwellers on the basis of maintaining a certain social discipline and an “ordered” society. Thus, medieval urban society was defined as a community of values according to the ecclesiastical and secular legislation, and it was articulated as a political discourse, which was incorporated into the public sphere. The urban community had to adapt to a legal and ideological framework and to some parameters of behavior, in which exclusion from the community was a powerful communication tool of social discipline. Historians and Graduate students are encouraged to submit abstracts for research presentations or posters on topics related to “exclusion and social discipline in the Medieval European City”.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

Reflexiones teóricas y análisis de las prácticas

La presente convocatoria apunta a un abordaje amplio de los temas relacionados con la autoría, sin límites de disciplinas o dominios, considerando las variaciones que experimentan, en el ámbito de la producción historiográfica, desde la Edad Media hasta el mundo actual. Se propone como objetivo profundizar en la reflexión crítica sobre el concepto de autor, de nombre biográfico, de obra, de escritura y de sus diferentes estratos y relaciones, así como de los contextos de producción y de recepción de los mismos. Las contribuciones que se presenten, pueden analizar estos – y otros temas asociados - ya sea a partir de un análisis disciplinario sobre un tópico en particular, o en base al estudio de casos específicos que ilustren problemas significativos.

Subalternidad y vida cotidiana en las ciudades andinas: aproximaciones desde antropología e historia

Panel en el congreso LASA (Latin American Studies Association) 2018

Nuestra propuesta de sesión para Latin American Studies Association (LASA) 2018 se propone crear un espacio de contacto y diálogo entre investigaciones que aborden desde una perspectiva etnográfico-antropológica o micro-histórica las realidades urbanas en el área andina, evidenciando cómo el estudio de la vida cotidiana, de las prácticas de memoria popular, y las lógicas de creación de subjetividades subalternas permiten considerar de manera diferente el fenómeno urbano, a través de sus múltiples variaciones.

Call for papers - Representation

América Latina en el Cine: representaciones de lo particular y lo universal de sus sociedades, culturas y artes

56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA), simposio 08/5

El cine representa conflictos y fenómenos, contemporáneos o pasados, en modos que no solo entretienen, sino que también contribuyen a la elaboración de episodios traumáticos por públicos masivos. Paralelamente al esfuerzo de comprensión que, como sugiere Henri Rousso, el pasado reciente requiere de los historiadores, las imágenes cinematográficas motivan la reflexión y construyen memoria social, tomando parte en las luchas simbólicas entre ideologías y discursos.

Conference, symposium - Religion

Imágenes, devociones y prácticas religiosas

La Europa del sur (1800-1960)

Este coloquio pretende analizar las modalidades de difusión de las imágenes devocionales en el marco de la evolución de las prácticas religiosas en Europa en los siglos XIX y XX, cuyas repercusiones sociales y culturales en la Europa mediterránea fueron considerables, aunque aún poco exploradas por la historiografía contemporánea española. Para ello, este encuentro reúne a los principales especialistas europeos con el fin de ahondar en temas como el auge de las peregrinaciones; la producción industrial de imágenes piadosas y su circulación entre las clases populares; el fomento por la iglesia de nuevos cultos; la confrontación entre modernidad laica y devociones y ritos tradicionales o el vandalismo iconoclasta.

Conference, symposium - Early modern

Sedition and revolt in modern european political thought

We wish to bring together international contributors once more in a discussion of the 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. This analysis will focus on political writings composed for government use or for a wider audience – memoirs and reports, as well as treatises on the statecraft that proliferated throughout Europe in the modern era and saw wide acceptance. There is a tendency in the current literature to make use of historical examples that are distant in time and place, and a need to consider the possible repercussions of theoretical reflection from experience drawn from recent or contemporary revolts.

The object. A research path in Humanities and Social Sciences

Call for Articles. Forma's 16th issue

How can an object and its materiality be defined? Which are the relationships and/or bonds that link individuals to objects? Which are meanings and values that should be considered in an object that is stripped from its context? How can it be described, replaced and represented in its natural environment (if it exists)? Are there limits to said representations? For the next issue, Forma. Revista d'Estudis Comparatius joins the project put forward by the collective “Jeune chercheurs de TELEMMe” for the preparation of their annual study conferences about the "object" in the Humanities and the Social Sciences.

The construction of theoretical discourse in the Middle Ages

Theorica 5. Thinking translation in the Middle Ages

Le programme de recherche « Theorica », initié en 2012, se propose de revisiter l’idée reçue selon laquelle le Moyen Âge serait un temps asystématique et par conséquent inapte à toute théorisation. Pour ce cinquième volet, le domaine retenu a été celui des discours sur la traduction, pour interroger la manière dont le Moyen Âge a ressenti le besoin de théoriser la traduction. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’appliquer les méthodes d’analyse de la traductologie contemporaine aux textes médiévaux mais bien d’interroger le regard porté sur la traduction par les théoriciens et/ou praticiens du Moyen Âge afin de dégager les différentes conceptions de la traduction qui s’opposaient à la fin du Moyen Âge.

Food-related professions in the Western Mediterranean

Culinary practices and food traditions (Antiquity and the Modern Age)

L’alimentation occupe une place majeure dans les activités des communautés, qu’elles soient l’œuvre de professionnels ou qu’elles s’insèrent dans le cadre domestique. Cette importance se traduit par la multiplicité et la diversité des processus et des savoir-faire de production, de transformation et de commercialisation des aliments. Les variations spatiales ou temporelles, séparant la production de la consommation, conduisent à interroger les modalités de ravitaillement et de commercialisation des denrées, ainsi que la saisonnalité des produits.
