Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

The territories of immaterial cultural heritage
Le patrimoine culturel immatériel (PCI) est associé aux communautés qui le pratiquent plutôt qu’aux territoires sur lesquels celles-ci vivent. Pourtant, qu’il soit cartographié, inventorié ou vécu, habité, éprouvé, le territoire offre un cadre pertinent pour comprendre l’essor de l’intérêt pour l’immatérialité culturelle. Tandis qu’il est entre les mains des États depuis une dizaine d’années et connaît un certain succès public, qu’en est-il du « PCI », cette catégorie patrimoniale dont on a espéré qu’elle soit un moyen de reconnaissance de formes culturelles minorisées alors qu’elle est en même temps un instrument de contrôle, dont la saisie néolibérale, en tant qu’agent de marketing territorial, est aujourd’hui une évidence ?

Food as a cultural heritage: challenges, processes and perspectives
The first objective of the conference will be to advocate a multidisciplinary approach to the various aspects covered by food heritage. The second innovative trajectory will be to take a European and international standpoint, with a particular reference to countries that have successfully added food elements to the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Finally, we will focus particular attention on the differing time frames, including those that are more long-term in nature.

Existential philosophy, poetry and the visual arts in the work of Benjamin Fondane
The aim of the colloquium is to provide a platform for debate on the interdisciplinary relation between philosophy, literature, poetry, and visual arts in Fondane’s work. As a Romanian Jewish émigré, who adopted French as his language after his exile in 1924, Benjamin Fondane offers one of the rare examples of a poet able to cross languages, cultures and genre frontiers: his work encompasses poetry, philosophy, aesthetics, theory of cinema and filmmaking, playwriting and photography.

Black womanhood in popular culture
De Gruyter Open topical issue
In contemporary popular culture, black womanhood frequently takes centre stage. It occupies an increasingly central place and articulates new and renewed dimensions, prompting questions about the status of black women in the cultural imaginary of the United States and beyond. Most prominently, Michelle Obama's First Ladyship has sparked scholarly and media discussions around the significance of stereotypes associated with black women, the possibilities and limitations of public figures to create new images and anchor them in the cultural imaginary, and about the subject positions and images that express and shape constructions of black womanhood (cf. Harris-Perry 2011, Schäfer 2015, Spillers 2009).

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders
2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

"Speech, the mother of writing - transmission, creativity and materiality"
International conference
Ce colloque vise à rapprocher les sources fondamentales dans le domaine des sciences sociales et humaines en Afrique et à explorer de nouvelles pistes d’analyse et de recherche en mettant au centre de la réflexion la question méthodologique, en raison des insuffisances relevées par le colloque d’Agbodrafo au Togo en 2011. Il y a ainsi nécessité d’harmoniser la terminologie utilisée par les chercheurs : Sources orales/tradition orale/histoire orale ? La tradition, au singulier ou au pluriel, les sources orales qui les englobent – ou pas –, les détenteurs, les gardiens, les traditionnalistes, les traditionnistes… Cinquante ans après la parution du Vansina, le flou persiste et les définitions manquent.

Musical cultures in Latin America (16th-21st centuries)
Pour leur prochain numéro (n°35, 1er semestre 2018), les Cahiers ALHIM publiés par l’université Paris 8 invitent des chercheurs issus de différents horizons (histoire, ethnomusicologie, sociologie de la musique…) à établir un état des lieux de la recherche sur les Cultures musicales en Amérique latine (XVIème-XXIème siècle). Ce numéro s’intéressera non seulement aux processus de création, mais aussi à la musique en tant que fait social, aux pratiques de sociabilité qui lui sont liées, et à son efficacité à l’heure de penser des dispositifs de politique symbolique, que ce soit au sein d’institutions ou mouvements sociaux.

Study days - Ethnology, anthropology
Musico-doctoral encounters - from Paris to Marseilles
De Paris à Marseille
Ces journées rassemblent des doctorant·e·s de l'EHESS travaillant dans les domaines de l’anthropologie de la musique, de la sociologie des arts ou bien de l’histoire culturelle. Les thèmes évoqués lors de ces rencontres touchent à une multiplicité de manifestations musicales qui vont de la techno au forró, des musiques du monde au music-hall. Ces différentes formes artistiques nous permettront d’interroger l’ensemble des enjeux autour de la transmission, de l’institutionnalisation, de la circulation de la musique.

Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”
Migration and translation are distant but closely related phenomena that understand migration discursively as mobility of texts, international transfer of knowledge and transformation in the field of cultural literacy. Migration may be defined as translation, in line with Salman Rushdie’s proposal that migrants are “translated beings” (Rushdie, 1983). As a matter of fact, it would be easy to prove that they are constantly engaged in “translating and explaining themselves.”

"From discourse to constitutional narrative - extra-legal analyses of constitutionalism"
Le constitutionnalisme, comme principe d'action, est une ambition politique forte, dès lors qu’il se donne pour tâche de déterminer les éléments fondamentaux de structuration de l'espace politique, social, économique, en bref, de l'espace sociétal. La Constitution est le discours qui porte cette ambition. Plus encore, la Constitution raconte quelque chose du monde qu'elle aborde, et il est certainement possible de la connaître de manière un peu plus « anthropologique », en considérant d'un côté qu'on peut y lire bien plus sur une collectivité humaine que ce qu'elle semble vouloir dire de prime abord, et que, d'un autre côté, un récit constitutionnel peut être là où, selon toutes les apparences, il ne se présente pas comme tel.

Lyon
À travers cette journée d’étude, qui aura lieu le vendredi 5 mai, de 9h30 à 18h45, à l'ENS de Lyon (amphithéâtre Descartes) on cherchera donc à interroger la place du plaisir de lire par rapport aux dominations symboliques et légitimistes qui le mettent à distance. La thématique transversale du plaisir de lire, nous semble en effet à même de questionner les représentations souvent clivées de la lecture, en mettant en avant la question de l’empathie, de l’expérience personnelle du lire et les processus affectifs et émotionnels au cœur de toute lecture, de manière interdisciplinaire.

Writing and/through migration(s)
Experiences, tensions, transformations
Écrire en migration est le fait d'enfants, d'adolescents ou d'adultes dont les niveaux de choix ou de contraintes sont variés. Dans tous les cas, migrer et devoir/pouvoir expérimenter d’autres formes et usages des écritures pose d’emblée la question de la transformation de la personne et de ses apprentissages (scolaires ou non). Dans une perspective anthropologique d’étude des écritures, dans le sillage des new literacy studies, cette journée d’étude propose d’articuler l’expérience singulière de la migration et le bouleversement généré pour leurs auteur-e-s, par l’utilisation d’une nouvelle langue écrite. Ces expériences confrontent le sujet à son histoire personnelle et à une perception propre de l’acte d’écriture, à une relation intime à l’écrit et à son apprentissage (Berchoud, 2013 ; Potolia et Stratilaki 2012).
