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.

Political Economy of Human Rights Regulation in Latin American Business Activities
HOMA Publica Journal
The special issue aims to gather contributions from various stakeholders in the field of Human Rights and Business, with a particular emphasis on the Political Economy of human rights regulation in Latin American business activities. The interest of this special edition of Homa Publica in examining regulation within the deeper framework of political economy guiding the region in the second decade of the 21st century. This period begins with windows of opportunity for Latin American reformism while immersed in a turbulent international environment and crises that have particularly inhumane effects on our territories (mass exoduses, climate crisis, colonial, racist, and patriarchal inequalities).

This conference will tackle the different facets of the concept of inertia through a transversal and pluridisciplinary approach. A cross-geographical and cross-cultural approach is encouraged. In a society that values change and innovation, inertia is still very present. Political and legal institutions either have to face it or use it actively and strategically. Social movements understand that well as they are using inertia to promote their demands. Inertia can also be a manifestation of a desire of stability, of deliberately not acting in an attempt to stop time. Museums might be an example of that; cultural spaces need to face these contradictions. A rhetoric of inertia can then develop, on a political, legal, social or cultural level. This discourse can be contested or used to promote change or permanence, in a a state of constant and dynamic tension.

Constitutionnalisme populaire et justice constitutionnelle
Démocratiser la justice constitutionnelle
La montée en puissance, un peu partout dans le monde, de forces politiques illibérales ou autoritaires interrogent la légitimité démocratique des cours constitutionnelles autant que leur capacité à protéger effectivement la démocratie. Dans ce contexte, le constitutionnalisme normatif, ou libéral, qui promeut la suprématie des interprétations juridictionnelles de la Constitution, est concurrencé par d’autres approches, à l’instar du constitutionnalisme populaire. Ce dernier connaît aujourd’hui un regain d’intérêt parce qu’il prône une participation accrue du peuple à la production, et surtout à l’interprétation, des énoncés constitutionnels. Cette journée d’étude se propose ainsi d’examiner dans quelle mesure le constitutionnalisme populaire permet de penser l’opportunité et les modalités d’une démocratisation de la justice constitutionnelle.

Learning from Territories / Teaching Territories
The 6th CIST (International College of Territorial Sciences) will focus on two questions: how to teach about territories and how to learn from territories. The objective of the following sessions is to highlight, on the one hand, the specific features of the teaching methods used in territorial sciences in the various disciplines involved, specifically by examining how they vary from one discipline to another and between countries; and on the other, to demonstrate how research in the territorial sciences develops specific methodologies for investigating places and individuals depending on whether the times being studied are periods of calm or of crisis; and on whether the territories in question are unremarkable in their ordinariness or exceptional in some way.

Learning from territories / Teaching territories
In German (lehren / lernen) as in Arabic (تعليم / تعلم), a single letter distinguishes the concept of teaching from the concept of learning. Whether defined as a theoretical object of scientific knowledge that can be taught or as a body of practices that can be passed on, there is no escaping the need to address the issue of the relationship between the apparent universality of the concept of territory, on the one hand, and the variety of uses to which the term is put and the range of practices associated with it, on the other. The sixth CIST conference will focus on two questions: how to teach about territories (academic knowledge, empirical methods, disciplinary approaches, etc.) and how to learn from territories (observing, exploring, describing, experiencing, etc.).

Espagnol pour les humanités (II)
La journée d’étude « Espagnol pour les humanités (II) » vise à identifier et à étudier les besoins en compétences langagières et culturelles en espagnol des étudiant·es et des professionnel·les des secteurs de la culture et des sciences humaines et sociales, et à développer des dispositifs pédagogiques adaptés, dans une démarche interculturelle. L’objectif de la journée d’étude est de poursuivre les réflexions sur les langues-cultures de spécialité et leur enseignement universitaire, en se centrant sur les sciences du langage, les sciences de l’éducation, la psychologie et l’administration qui constituent des domaines peu étudiés de ce point de vue, ainsi que sur l’espagnol de spécialité en droit, en économie ou pour les métiers de la communication, questions qui bénéficient d’un intérêt scientifique ou pédagogique plus ancien et pour lesquelles nous espérons susciter de nouveaux éclairages.

Conference, symposium - Geography
Population, Time, Territories (CIST2020)
The latest in the series of Collège international des sciences territoriales (FR2007 CIST) conferences, this 5th international conference spotlights the concept of population as a central issue in the debates within territorial sciences. The concept of population, which is central to demography and biology and more marginal for other disciplines, involves the grouping together of individual entities. Depending on the particular approach used, the preferred criterion for aggregation will be the social, territorial, biological, etc., with timescales and observation scales varying accordingly. Linking together population, time and territory in a transdisciplinary and international perspective is the main goal of this conference; beyond the fact that it represents a theoretical and methodological breakthrough, the diversity of the proposed thematic sessions is a clear sign that this trio is at the heart of contemporary issues.

5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium
This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

#MariellePresente - Transnational Resistances
The Gender and Diversity Journal, a feminist and queer review from the northeastern region of Brazil, invites everyone to submit articles, essays, interviews, field journals, reports and other texts for the special issue entitled "#MariellePresente: Transnational Resistances". The texts must describe and analyze the transnational responses following the assassination of the Brazilian Marielle Franco. She was a black woman from the favela, political activist, feminist and lesbian. She was murdered at the corner of a street in Rio de Janeiro in March 2018. Given the political nature of her assassination, many actions denouncing the crime were organized around the world.

Population, time, territories (CIST2020)
Le Ve colloque du Collège international des sciences territoriales (CIST2020) - qui se tiendra du 19 au 21 novembre 2020 sur le campus Condorcet, Paris-Aubervilliers - se propose d’aborder les enjeux théoriques, méthodologiques et pratiques soulevés par la prise en compte simultanée de la population, du temps et des territoires. Ces enjeux portent notamment sur deux défis : (1) l’agrégation des actions individuelles ou des attributs des individus au sein d’une population sur un territoire, et (2) l’intégration de la dimension temporelle dans la dynamique des populations (humaines et/ou animales) et de leurs inscriptions territoriales, à différentes échelles.

Neo-liberal governanace and the justiciability of Indian rights
Cahiers des Amériques Latines journal - call for contributions to issue no.94 - new challenges of legal pluralism
À partir des années 90 en Amérique Latine, l’accroissement des mobilisations indiennes en défense de leurs droits s’accompagne de la judiciarisation de leurs luttes. Deux faits, apparemment contradictoires, peuvent expliquer ce mouvement : la dépossession, la violence et la criminalisation de leurs peuples et territoires, en raison d’un tournant néolibéral et extractiviste qui prédomine dans la région ; les nouvelles constitutions multiculturalistes en Amérique latine soutenues par les normes internationales qui ouvrent un espace pour la reconnaissance des droits des Indiens, spécialement du droit à l’autodéterminatio.

Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes
Xth Congress World mediation forum
The WMF’s mission is the development and exchange of knowledge, information and competencies in all mediation areas, notably through the regular organization of international congresses for more than fifteen years. The Xth Conference of the World Mediation Forum wants to devote itself to trying to understand how mediation can be organized and developed when it has so many objectives that are seemingly difficult to reconcile. Thus, the 2019 conference will try to bring, through four highly interrelated roundtables and about forty presentations, a significant contribution to this question: 'Mediation: A transversal approach with multiple purposes?'
