Crime and Society: historical dynamics in contemporary times
Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal, issue 22
Crime, its practice and its repression arouse great attention and curiosity in our days. Reported and investigated by the media, literature or cinema, among others, crime is currently a constant presence in our daily life. In the field of History, particularly in Social History, crime has established itself as a relevant topic of study, especially since the second half of the 20th century and, since then, several lines of research have been pursued and explored. This issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal is looking for contributions that reflect on Crime and Society in the 19th and 20th centuries.

“The body of an athlete and the soul of a sage - these are what we require to be happy”, wrote Voltaire to Helvetius. At RITA, although we don’t claim to have athletic bodies, we humbly hope that our journal does lead to the path of wisdom. As Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024, we thought it relevant to invite researchers to show wisdom and gain some critical distance to question the role and function of sports in the Americas, from North to South.

Neoliberalization of education and the making of territories
The theme of this issue pursues questions that the journal Espaces et Sociétés has previously raised about the relationship between educational and territorial dynamics. Its originality will therefore consist in documenting the way in which neoliberal dynamics, which run through the education sector from primary to higher education, are contributing to the creation of contemporary spaces, both in peripheral areas and in central urban ones – as well as in spaces created specifically for education, such as campuses or emerging educational hubs, for example in Asia and the Middle East. It will also look at how educational models are internationalized and circulate in this process, between primary, secondary and higher education, between public and private, between North and South, without presupposing that this circulation is unidirectional.

The public use of subordinate writings in the early modern and modern periods
We invite contributions dedicated to the dynamics of the re-signification of subaltern writings in public space in the early modern and modern period. Ordinary writings produced by subaltern actors (popular classes, men and women, childhood) in the transition from the private to the public sphere should therefore be investigated with particular attention to the spaces used, the practices adopted, the strategies of visibility (or obscuration) chosen, the appropriations by civil society, the policies of preservation of popular memory and the pedagogical- didactic use of writings.

Genre(s), identité(s) et espace(s) dans l’Espagne du XXe et XXIe siècles
Ce colloque a pour objectif d’étoffer les connaissances autour du rapport historique entre espace et genre dans l’Espagne du XXe et du XXIe siècles en s’appuyant sur les résultats de différentes études traitant ce sujet. Il serait intéressant d’explorer la construction historique des identités de genre. L’éclosion des identités au regard de cette perspective et le genre considéré comme la catégorie qui examine la manière dont se (re)produisent les significations attribuées au sexe et à la différence sexuelle, seront des éléments à aborder. La seconde perspective invite à s’interroger sur la place de cette séquence identitaire dans l’espace.

Être traduite, ou l’art de muer ?
Rita Laura Segato, Irma Velez y Pascale Molinier discuteront du dernier livre de Rita Laura Segato, traduit au français par Irma Velez : La Guerre aux femmes, Paris, Payot, 2022, la conversation aura lieu en espagnol avec des incursions en français. Aboutissement de vingt-cinq ans de réflexion et d’engagement, La Guerre aux femmes, qui paraît aujourd’hui pour la première fois en France, est déjà un classique partout ailleurs. Segato s’attache à y décrire les violences systémiques faites aux femmes, à montrer qu’elles sont le terreau de toutes les autres formes de violence, et à dégager les conditions d’une politique au féminin.

Peasantries and Violent Conflicts
In this call for papers, we wish to address the relationship between the peasantry and conflicts with all the necessary analytical finesse and empiricism, by exploring the plurality of repertoires and modes of action to identify the contextual markers of the trajectories of violent crises involving the peasantry to varying degrees and in various forms. What we mean by violent conflict is any form of confrontation mobilizing a diversified arsenal, with a destructive effect on the agricultural, economic, and social systems in place, and with at times the aim of reconfiguring them to the advantage of certain actors. Such conflicts may be internal to certain peasantries, or may occur at their contact when they are exploited by external actors. Others may take shape and develop outside the rural world before reaching it. These violent conflicts are often found at the crossroads of a range of factors and processes: power dynamics linked to land access, the crystallization of identity and ethno-community differences, and governance problems.

Chinese public space, a shared space?
Espaces et Sociétés’ perspective on the Chinese city and urbanization, through a notion that is both distinctive and paradoxical in China: public space. The title of this call for papers, “Chinese public space, a shared space?” questions on the one hand the specific definition of Chinese public space, which is undergoing very rapid changes, and on the other hand its ability to be “shared” locally and internationally.

In Western space, mapping the Other is not a prescriptive notion to assign ossified identities. Rather, it is about questioning the link between these intersectional identities of otherness and the specificities of the various Western spaces. In other words, it invites a reconsideration of how the Others autonomously define themselves in the dominant and marginal spaces of the “normative order” of hegemonic societies, and how they integrate them to make them theirs—therefore challenging the systems of oppression implemented.

Politiques de mémoire locales et nationales : dialogue, concurrence, complémentarité
Amérique latine
Ce colloque a pour objectif de tenter de relever, comprendre et d’analyser les interactions, sous toute leur forme, qu’il y aurait entre politiques de mémoire nationales et politiques de mémoire locales en Amérique latine. Dans ce sens, nous nous intéressons aux initiatives qui se déroulent dans un cadre légal sanctionné par une ou des autorités nationales ou locales (la question du rayonnement du « local » pourra bien entendu faire l’objet de discussions). Cela n’exclut pas les initiatives ou actions qui ne bénéficient pas du sceau étatique puisque nous nous intéresserons aussi aux initiatives qui n’obtiennent pas cet aval ou le refusent volontairement. Dans tous les cas, il s’agit de voir en quoi les liens entre politiques locales et nationales contribuent à la construction d’un récit collectif sur un passé violent, à la circulation de mémoire(s) et dans quelle mesure cela peut avoir un impact dans le jeu politique.

The musicians’ activity - work, training and health
“Laboreal” Journal
The characteristics of the activities that fall under the economic sector of music show a huge variety of places, schedules and work conditions, in addition to the informality of work contracts for a vast majority of musicians. Obviously, these factors interfere with the activity of preparation for music performance, with study habits, and most likely with public performance. In spite of that, the attention given to research and intervention regarding this category of workers is clearly scarce and there is not enough research to investigate the various aspects linked to performing music activities -- training, teaching and study practices, professional performance. Laboreal makes room for papers interested in the musicians’ activity, and invites researchers involved in these issues to contribute to the publication of this number.

Call for papers - Representation
Fantasmes et monstres lesbiens dans les mondes hispanophones contemporains
Cette journée du séminaire intersites « Lectures du genre » propose une réflexion sur les conditions de possibilité, dans le monde contemporain, de discours, de représentations et d’imaginaires complexes et non univoques autour des identités, des luttes et des pratiques lesbiennes. Les fantasmes et les monstres lesbiens dans les productions culturelles hégémoniques et homophobes pourront évidemment être abordés au cours de la journée, mais on s’intéressera avant tout aux raisons qui peuvent pousser des artistes, notamment des lesbiennes, à se réapproprier des archétypes négatifs, échappant ainsi aux stratégies, dominantes dans le panorama actuel, de visibilisation et de normalisation des identités et des désirs LGBQI+. On interrogera également les potentiels effets de telles représentations, dans un contexte où la visibilité des minorités sexo-dissidentes se fait souvent au détriment des sujets les plus vulnérables.
