Sociétés coloniales et post-indépendances : quels lieux du politique ?
Les particularités du politique en situation coloniale ne sont pas que de seuls états de fait, mais s’inscrivent concrètement et matériellement dans un espace généralement ségrégué. Cette journée d’étude organisée par le groupe « mondes coloniaux et post-indépendances » de la Société française d’histoire politique (SFHPo) en partenariat avec l’unité de recherche Tempora (université Rennes 2) abordera les multiples champs au sein desquels se manifestent l’inégalité et la domination en situation coloniale. Il s’agit dès lors de penser, dans une perspective dynamique, un politique localisé et spatialisé, obéissant à de nouvelles logiques de pouvoir, riche de ses dimensions matérielles et pratiques.

Mining Mobilities across the globe
Labour, Science, and Knowledge circulation in Mining (15th-21st century)
The fifth conference of the European Labour History Network (ELHN) will explore how mining mobility and knowledge circulation have played a pivotal role in extractive industries worldwide. The movement of workers, technologies, and knowledge has been mediated by state authorities, corporations, and subcontractors through alluring and forced forms of recruitment. Alongside these trajectories, men and women from neighbouring and distant territories moved to newly reopened mines to search for new deposits and improve their social and economic conditions.

The Role of Popular Dance in Higher Education in Australasia and the Asia Pacific Region
In this localised / regionalised in-person special topics symposium, we are seeking to think and move through the role that popular, social, and vernacular dance plays (or does not play or only marginally plays or should ideally play) in higher education institutions in the Australasian as well as the broader Asia Pacific region, and to further reflect (on) the reality of how our dance communities interact as well as how our dance scholars interact in between and across these areas.

Les espaces dissidents : une faillite des États ?
Que se passe-t-il dans les espaces dissidents ? Comment ces marges ou ces zones grises renégocient-elles leur rapport à l’État ? Ou à l’inverse, comment ces espaces transforment-ils les institutions étatiques ? Comment ou en quoi ces espaces incarnent-ils la ou les dissidences ? Et surtout, quelles sont les ressources de cette dissidence ? Ces questions semblent cruciales pour analyser la prolifération des marges et des zones grises sur l’ensemble des continents depuis le début du XXIe siècle. L’existence de tels espaces pose indéniablement la question de l’érosion du modèle classique de l’État et de ses institutions. Ce colloque tente d’apporter certains éclairages autour de ces questions.

Developing Societies and the Sustainable Development Goals
Challenges and Opportunities
In 2015, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved by 2030 were defined. The goals include the eradication of poverty, access to quality and equitable education for all, environmental protection, and health for all. While the SDGs target the world in general, as each country faces at least one of the obstacles to development, it appears that developing countries, particularly those in Africa and South America, are the most concerned. This panorama raises questions to which researchers could provide an answer: how to make the SDGs intelligible to Africans and other Third World countries so that they can easily appropriate them? How much consideration is given to the multiple and diverse contexts among developing countries in the conceptualisation of the SDGs?

Machines, humains et animaux dans les mondes autochtones
This special issue of EchoGéo calls for contributions that focus on the modes of existence of machines in these peripheral areas, as critical materialities and unexplored archives of the current spatial, social, political or environmental reconfigurations. If machines have so rarely been studied, it is because their exogenous and a priori standardizing character is problematic. On the contrary, we formulate the hypothesis that these materialities are a source of creativity and memory and that they constitute a privileged archive for understanding the contemporaneity of these societies throughout the world. The aim is to show what machines do to these lands and, in turn, what these lands do to machines.

Medieval Borders and the Environment
This volume, provisionally titled Medieval Borders and the Environment, will be submitted to Brill to be included in the new series “Elements, Nature, Environment: Multidisciplinary Perspectives from the Ancient to the Early Modern World” edited by Dr. Marilina Cesario and Dr. Andreas Lammer. The volume’s goal is to provide a venue for interdisciplinary research on the time period between about 500 and 1500 or slightly later. It intends to promote study on underrepresented parts of the medieval world, broadly construed, as well as articles that examine interconnections across regions and cultures. Proposals for essays in english are warmly welcomed on the topic “borders, the elements, and the environment”.

Extractivismes : processus, critiques et alternatives
Le colloque se propose de faire un retour sur la notion d’origine de l’extractivisme, depuis les travaux pionniers des Sud-Américains Gudynas (2009), Svampa et Acosta, pour en explorer de nouveaux sens et usages, comme l’extractivisme ontologique et épistémique. Quels types d’extractivisme ont récemment été promus dans le monde ? Comment l’extractivisme affecte-t-il les populations et les territoires locaux ? Quelles sont les stratégies d’organisation et de résistance locales et transnationales contre les projets extractifs dans différents secteurs économiques… ? Nous invitons les chercheur·euses, les étudiant·es en sciences sociales et membres de la société civile à soumettre leurs propositions.

Food Crises: Challenges, Innovations and Sustainable Change
From prehistoric times to the present, crises relating to military conflicts, climatic hazards, health challenges, harvest failures, economic decline, environmental change, geopolitical conflicts and many other factors have affected food systems in complex and varying ways, depending on specific constellations, local resilience and the timescales involved. The distinctive aim of this conference is to examine the “creative” and “constructive” potential of the relationship, specifically the extent to which crises can trigger innovation and sustainable change within food systems.

The Sustainable Development Goals under scrutiny
« Revue internationale des études du développement » n°253 (2023-3)
A new international framework for development, called the UN 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, emerged in 2015 as a result of the rise of sustainable development as a dominant paradigm for development and of the criticisms addressed to the MDGs. The new agenda established 17 development goals instead of 8 (MDGs). The SDGs made some progress compared to the MDGs. Because they target common challenges like climate change, the reach and legitimacy of the SDGs were extended. As we stand midway towards the set deadlines for achievement, it is time to question the relevance, foundations and the implementation of the SDGs. It also seems legitimate to question their universal and inclusive character, and their actual outcomes since 2015 by using critical and contexual approaches.
