The immaterial heritage factory in Europe and America
Ce colloque cherche à inscrire l’analyse du patrimoine immatériel dans un continuum qui intègre les processus de construction identitaire, la volonté de « mise en mémoire » de certaines pratiques et éléments culturels avec lesquels un groupe s’identifie en tant que groupe (ce qui implique la sélection de certains éléments et la mise à l’écart d’autres), puis le recours à la patrimonialisation de cet « héritage culturel » considéré comme une richesse commune à préserver ainsi qu’un élément central de l’identité. D’entre tous les acteurs concernés par des processus de patrimonialisation, le colloque propose un recentrage sur trois groupes, à savoir : les populations immigrées (voire émigrées), les populations autochtones (amérindiens répartis sur tout le continent) et les habitants de régions où les revendications identitaires sont particulièrement fortes (Québec, Bretagne, Pays Basque, etc.).

Ambrogio Spinola: between Genoa, Flanders and Spain
Networks and Narratives, War and Finances (1569-1639)
This international workshop proposes a collective work at the crossroads of the different economic, political, family, military and cultural networks which constituted the changing and complex context of the life of Ambrogio Spinola, a man of immense fortune and unknown military qualities. His framework? Italy, Flanders, Spain. Scholars with different, although complementary, historiographical approaches will gather around Spinola, aiming to publish a collective biography in 2020. This biography will be the result of an interdisciplinary work, mixing the knowledge of historians of the military, diplomacy, aristocracy or economics, but also using the history of news (creation and circulation), written and pictorial culture, or gender history.

Peoples and cultures of the world
In this interdisciplinary conference we aim to study different peoples and cultures of the world by taking into account the various ways peoples and cultures define themselves and others, thus shaping their identies. We aim to explore the complex relationships being established between cultural dynamics and identites in their spatial and/or chronological dimensions. We would like to focus on the variety of cultures in the world, on their diversity comparatively studied, but we are also specially inclined to discuss top-down or externally imposed politics and the types of resistance used by natives to escape these hegemonic strategies. We invite papers that analyse peoples and cultures (social communities, ethnic groups, indigenous minorities, etc.) considering their specific features and differences, possibly taking into account the theorizations underlying the construction and deconstruction of colllective identities. In this sense, we are interested in the role played by the scholar analyzing different cultures and their spatial dynamics, often fluid and somewhat controversial according to a political perspective.

Religion and Politics in Small Nations: Comparative Socio-cultural and Institutional Dimensions
ISSR's 35th Congress - Thematic session
Small nations of Central and Eastern Europe have provided fertile ground to study the relationship between religion and politics. Too often, however, research on the region suffers from a problematic Orientalism, depicting nationalism in the East as a dangerous ethnic, religious, and anti-modern force. This bilingual thematic session, organized within the framework of the 2019 Congress of the International Society of Sociology of Religions (ISSR - July 9-12 - Barcelona), seeks to understand the relationship between politics and religion “from within” small nations themselves.

Femininity and masculinity: new questions of genre in the social sciences in Africa
Les questions de féminité et de masculinité ont été longtemps abordées par les chercheurs ainsi que par les acteurs du développement. Les différents univers intéressés par le sujet ont développé des applications, parfois instrumentales, en leur faveur. Selon les époques, il se profile les formes de considération des genres, sexes et orientations normatives. Les sociétés génèrent en leur sein des marqueurs plus ou moins discriminatoires au point où on peut dire que les rapports sociaux de sexe et de genre sont socialement ancrés. Souvent, dans un même univers géographique, et au fil des époques se dessinent des formes diverses.

Freedom: texts and contexts on both sides of the Atlantic
L’objet de ce colloque sera de réfléchir, tant sur la forme, le contenu que sur l’approche critique, aux processus par lesquels l’œuvre s’appuie sur la liberté ou sur son absence (apparente ou non) pour se renouveler, pour se dépasser. Les réseaux construits entre les différentes aires géographiques des deux côtés de l’océan Atlantique, les interactions avec les différentes zones linguistiques – l’Europe plurilingue, le continent américain anglophone, ses minorités de langue française, les Caraïbes, l’Amérique latine, l’Afrique plurilingue – pourront aussi être examinés. Il s’agira d’étudier comment rendre compte de la liberté dans un contexte pan-Atlantique.

Conference on rule of law challenges in the EU
Implications for Economic Law
The rule of law, as a value which the member states share with each other and with the Union, serves as the basis of the European Union, its policies and its legal order. It is inherent in the obligations imposed in law on the member states and their enforcement and is central to a relationship of mutual trust between the member states, in particular their institutions including national courts and tribunals. On the one hand, the member states and their citizens legitimately expect that the Union institutions observe the rule of law in their actions. On the other, the member states must comply with rule of law standards in their conduct under the scope of EU law and beyond. Inter-State cooperation in Europe is, therefore, premised, in politics and in the functional environment of law, on subjecting the exercise of public powers both at national and European level to similar constitutional requirements.

Transnational dimensions of dealing with the past in ‘Third Wave’ democracies
Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the Former Soviet Union in Global Perspective
This conference aims to fill the gap by looking at how post-dictatorial justice and memory experiences in Southern Europe, Central Eastern Europe, and the former Soviet Union after the “third wave of democratization” have reciprocally affected each other. It also seeks to unpack how memorialization practices in these regions were shaped by and influenced in turn criminalization discourses in other geographical contexts (Latin America, Asia, Africa). The conference focuses on transnational activism, transfers of knowledge, and expertise at bilateral, regional or international levels, the impact of legal and mnemonic narratives outside their countries of origin, and the role of international organizations and NGO's in dealing with mass violence. The conference aims thus to trace the mutlidirectional circulation of ideas, norms and models of reckoning with authoritarian regimes both within these regions, and between them and other areas of the world.

Beyond the “White Man’s Burden”?
Representations of the “Far East” in the English-Speaking World since World War II
This one-day workshop seeks to examine the shifting image of the “Far East” in the English-speaking world, including - but not limited to - news, film, museums, exhibitions, travel literature and television. In part, it seeks to complement the study of media representations with a tentative assessment of their reception, and by examining the overlapping areas between media representations and historical events. The period since the Second World War has seen profound changes in the “Far East”, notably because of decolonization, the creation of independent nation-states and the increasing power of China, Japan and India. This workshop will examine the persistence (or not) of the “white man’s burden” in a post-imperial age.

Artistic theories and practices in the academic context - polarisation and contaminations
La multiplication de cours de pós-graduação (Master, Doctorat et Post-doctorat) dans le champ de l’art au Brésil ces dernières dix années interroge davantage l’interaction entre théories et pratiques dans le contexte académique. La présence de disciplines dans lesquelles s’inscrivent une pratique artistique – arts visuels, musique, danse, théâtre, cinéma, littérature, entre autres – interpelle le binarisme entre art et science et propose des nouvelles formes de perceptions de l’objet d’étude, ainsi que des nouveaux critères d’argumentation et d’évaluation de recherche académique. Comment une pratique artistique peut devenir un objet de recherche académique ? Comment gérer la particularité de ces recherches e de ses résultats ? Quelles sont les stratégies utilisées pour outrepasser les binarismes imposés par les modèles scientifiques tout en emphatisant le pouvoir réflexif de l’art et l’imminente nécessité de créativité pour la formulation théorique ?
