  Male bonds in nineteenth-century art

  Male Bonds is a two-day international conference that aims to explore the place of male bonds in nineteenth-century artistic practice and visual arts. The conference invites participants to reflect on the ways in which changing notions of masculinity and male sexuality impacted forms of sociability between men in the artistic scene of the long nineteenth century. In so doing, it seeks to build a bridge between traditional art-historical scholarship and the fields of gender and gay and lesbian studies.

  The Presence of Women Editors in the Press Industry (1850-1950)

  This panel is part of the 49^th annual Northeast modern language association (NeMLA) convention which will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from the 12^th until the 15^th of April 2018. We wish to examine the active participation of women in the public dialogue through the prism of their periodical publications. By looking into their practices of textual transfer, their editorial strategies and the transnational networks that they established, this panel sheds light on the content, structure, and functions of the periodical press in the long 19^th century. Scholars are encouraged to explore the ways in which women’s journals shaped socio-cultural transitions by conducting comparative research across nations, cultures, and historical periods.

  French agricultural teaching. A world in recomposition

  Le monde de l’enseignement agricole français a longtemps été marqué par une relative invisibilité sociale. Parent pauvre de la recherche académique et des études rurales, il connait une histoire caractérisée par l’évolution des relations entre les modèles éducatifs, sociaux et professionnels, et par les transformations des politiques publiques. Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif de rassembler les chercheurs·ses, les enseignant·e·s et les praticiens·nes pour une mutualisation des savoirs et une confrontation des enjeux théoriques et sociaux autour des transformations qui traversent l’enseignement agricole. L’enjeu principal consiste à partager les expériences méthodologiques, les résultats de travaux de recherche et les projets afin de tisser des liens et de créer un réseau de ressources.

  Victorians like us – Domesticity and worldliness

  Issue of “Open Cultural Studies”

  From novels to government reports, the Victorians attached unprecedented significance to domesticity. The household was a central institution, and their occupants played out their different roles according to custom and circumstance. Within its sphere, gender, class, economic and political conflicts were played out as the household provided the background for important social practices. These practices ranged from the kitchen to the parlour, from the street to the Houses of Parliament, from the colonial metropole to the British colonial outposts in Africa, Asia, Australia and the Pacific.

  Gender and civil state - personal identity and social relations

  Ces journées d’étude analyseront l’état civil comme une institution sociale complexe, à la fois outil d’identification des individus dans une perspective de police sociale et instance d’affiliation des personnes à la société dans une perspective plus anthropologique. Considéré d’un côté comme une preuve de l’état des personnes à vocation publique, et de l’autre comme un « conservatoire de la vie civile » relevant éminemment de la vie privée de chacun, l’état civil est composite : tout ce qu’il conserve n’a pas vocation à être accessible aux tiers, d’autant plus qu’il se modifie tout au long du parcours biographique, de la naissance à la mort. Ainsi, l’état civil est à la fois un élément constitutif de l’identité individuelle et une institution d’organisation des relations sociales.

  Scrivere il/in confino

  Scritture femminili del Novecento Europeo

  In un momento in cui i flussi migratori ci interpellano sempre più e in un’ottica sempre meno nazionale e sempre più europea, e in cui la categoria di frontiera è in via di profonda ridefinizione, il pensiero di coloro che hanno conosciuto/raccontato l’esilio è un supporto prezioso alle nostre riflessioni più attuali. I Club Soroptimist International di Messina e di Spadafora Gallo-Niceto organizzano un Convegno sulla Letteratura femminile del Novecento Europeo sul tema dell’Esilio. Gli interventi che si succederanno andranno ad abbracciare: l’esperienza esistenziale di autrici di testi letterari di qualsiasi genere che hanno vissuto in prima personale la fuga e il confino, attraverso i loro scritti personali e autobiografici; le storie di finzione (romanzi, poesie, racconti, radiodrammi, …) pubblicate da autrici che hanno affrontato tali tematiche senza per questo aver vissuto necessariamente sulla propria pelle l’erranza e l’estradizione.

  The violence of gender

  Cet appel vise à susciter des articles concernant les violences fondées sur le genre, qu'elles visent les femmes, les homosexuels ou les trans, cela dans les pays du Sud global.

Les propositions d'articles peuvent notamment porter sur la mesure de ces violences, les facteurs et contextes qui leur sont associées mais ausi les lois et programmes à leur encontre, les obstacles que ceux-ci rencontrent et les actions qui permettraient de les abolir. Elles pourront émaner des différentes disciplines des sciences sociales.

  Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom

  Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as  critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

  Avenues and futures for political subjectivity

  85th congress of the Association francophone pour le savoir (Acfas)

  Le concept de subjectivité / subjectivation politique a essaimé depuis Foucault dans une multitude de disciplines et de terrains de pratique. Quels sont ses avantages théoriques et interprétatifs, et quelles actions transformatrices a-t-il inspirées ? La multiplication de ses usages en affaiblit-il la cohérence, et que laisse-t-il dans l’ombre ? Ce colloque entend évaluer la fécondité actuelle et les devenirs possibles de la subjectivité politique au XXI^e siècle.

  Debating Homelessness

  Actualities and new perspectives in social science research

  Homelessness, has been recognized as a public problem, not only by international organizations, but also by the national and local authorities from many countries. Homelessness became also a scientific problem. Many generations of researchers conducted inquiries among homeless people. They analysed the phenomenon of homelessness in a longer history of the treatment of poverty in the occidental societies. They were also able to describe the survival on the streets, the different configurations of support, the social violence against homeless people, the construction of social problem during different eras, etc. This congress wishes to offer a space for exchange in order to develop new perspectives in the field of homelessness research.

  Professional judgement in social work

  Pour son numéro du second trimestre 2018, la revue s’attache à interroger le jugement professionnel chez les travailleurs sociaux, et plus précisément ses conditions sociales de production. Dans un champ régi par des politiques sociales et des normes professionnelles plus ou moins explicites telles que le non-jugement ou la bienveillance censées cadrer l’action sociale, nous souhaitons interroger la part d’impartialité et de neutralité chez les professionnels.

  Feminisms and ARTivism in the Americas (20th-21st centuries)

  Les féminismes contre-hégémoniques sont globalement peu connus en France. La théorie et l’action des femmes états-uniennes – connu sous le nom de black feminism – suscite certes un intérêt croissant chez les chercheur·e·s depuis la fin du XX^e siècle. En revanche, les apports théoriques et les formes de mobilisation des autres régions américaines sont beaucoup moins visibilisés. Envisagé dans une perspective comparative et pluridisciplinaire, ce colloque voudrait approfondir la connaissance de ces mouvements en France. En s’attachant à la pluralité et à la force de leur action, la réflexion portera sur les caractères spécifiques et leur contribution à la lutte contre les oppressions de classe, de race, de genre et de sexualité. Une attention toute particulière sera portée à l’étude de la pluralité des mobilisations notamment celle qui envisage l’art comme forme de lutte.

  The Other Half of Communism: Women's Outlook

  “History of Communism in Europe” Journal, no. 8/ 2017

  This issue looks to include the most recent scholarship on women and their intricate relations with the communist parties in Europe, during the XX^th century. While including the valuable scholarship on “exceptional” personalities such as Alexandra Kollontai, Inessa Armand or Dolores Ibarruri, this issue aims to explore the voices of women that by political choice or simply historical tournaments found themselves as both objects and subjects of the communist parties. The political evolution of Europe through the century, the existence of USSR and the national (illegal) branches affiliated to the Communist International, and later of an Eastern Bloc determined completely different experiences, forms of activism and sociability. This issue of History of Communism in Europe aims to follow the relation between communism and women before and after the Second World War, on the both sides of the Iron Curtain.

  Juvenile sexualities (19th-20th centuries)

  Revue d’histoire de l’enfance "irrégulière" journal issue 20, publication October 2018

  L’histoire de la sexualité, tant en termes de pratiques que de représentations, mais aussi l’histoire de la jeunesse « régulière » comme celle de la jeunesse « irrégulière », ont donné lieu depuis maintenant plus de quarante ans à d’importants travaux en sciences humaines et sociales. Néanmoins le croisement entre jeunesse et sexualité reste rare, plus encore dès lors qu’il s’agit d’évoquer les champs extra-scolaires. C’est ce point aveugle de l’historiographie de la jeunesse et de la sexualité que se propose de combler ce numéro thématique qui ne prendra pas les institutions scolaires comme cadre unique et tentera de faire des ponts entre les différentes institutions et politiques éducatives.

  Socialist Masculinities

  Men in Eastern Europe – Ruptures, Transformations, and Continuities in the 20th Century

  Our main objectives are to reconsider the state of the art and discuss new ways for writing a history of masculinities under socialism. The central questions of the workshop are: Which role were men and fathers to play in the construction of a “new” socialist family? How where masculinities transformed in socialist movements and state-socialist countries? The workshop is interested, on the one hand, in the ideologies and the utopian reflexions of the place of men in a future communist society. On the other hand, it aims at questioning the everyday life of socialist men and fathers, as well as the everyday life of men and fathers living under socialism.
