  Global Labor Histories in the Francophone World

  Since the turn of new millennium, a new global history of labor has emerged that focuses on the relationship between structures and practices of labor from at least medieval times to the present day. However, most French historians of labor continue to focus on the Hexagon and to underestimate wider European and global connections and comparisons. Similarly, specialists of slavery and post-slavery in the French colonies rarely extend their analyses to other empires or to labor history in France. This special issue seeks to bridge these gaps by inviting submissions relating labor in mainland France to labor in its colonies and/or other areas, from the early modern to the present day.

  Production et appropriations locales de l’urbanisme globalisé

  The acceleration of globalisation and the massive urbanisation of the planet over the past forty years have played a powerful role in the transformation of cities. These worldwide dynamics are often presented as sources of a homogenisation of the cities’ organisational principles and the policies guiding their development, as well as urban forms and architectural styles. The result would thus be a ‘globalised urban planning’, in the sense of a uniform vision of the ways of creating the city promoted by the intensified circulation of ideas and models, the mobility of urban planning actors and the concentration of capital on a global scale. ‘Globalised fragments’ (Verdeil, 2006, p. 160) would be the symbol of this process, characterised by an influx of private stakeholders and specific planning schemes where the production of urban images play a key role.

  Black Lives Matter: a transnational movement

  Revue « Esclavages et post-esclavages / Slaveries and post-slaveries »

  The aim of this special number is therefore to bring together articles analysing the growth of Black Lives Matter (BLM) to a transnational movement. Contributions should show awareness of the concrete modes of circulation and appropriation, and to the repercussions of campaigns linked to BLM, but also of the historical and political ruptures and continuities implied and explained by them. Contributions bearing on the role of new information and communications technologies (NITC) and social networks, especially in the spreading of images (videos of police violence, artworks etc), and their role in the transnational development of the movement will be given close attention.

  Trangression – a new paradigm?

  The conference aims to look at transgression in its manifold forms and stances – not only as a reaction against norms and rules, but in particular as an answer to our agitated times of  radical (and highly anxiogenic) mutations. By doing so, we propose to analyze transgression both as tactics of survival and as strategy against the operating system(s). If our inquiry seems to address the immediate present, we definitely pose modernity with its dense net of normativity as the fundament that generated the recent wave of transgressiveness. Hence we believe that only by analyzing this historic causality and by going beyond the contingent alternative nature of transgression can we understand the deep causes, dynamics and mechanisms of its eruption.

  Equal rights, de facto inequalities in the Americas, multidisciplinary approaches

  Le colloque Égalité de droit, inégalités de fait dans les Amériques s’intéressera tant aux problématiques des inégalités qu’aux formes de résistance ou de mobilisation pour l’égalité. L’approche proposée par le colloque sera avant tout pluri et interdisciplinaire ; toutes les approches seront les bienvenues, qu’elles aient trait à l’histoire, la sociologie, l’anthropologie, la géographie, l’urbanisme, l’architecture, l’histoire de l’art, les sciences de la nature et de l’environnement, le droit, la narratologie, etc. Les analyses pourront adopter une perspective diachronique aussi bien que synchronique et également miser sur la comparaison entre plusieurs situations d’inégalités/égalités. L’analyse des « inégalités » pourra se faire selon une approche intersectionnelle, croisant le genre, la classe sociale, la racisation ou encore, l’âge, l’orientation sexuelle, la religion...

  « Condition humaine / Conditions politiques », revue internationale d’anthropologie du politique

  Condition Humaine / Conditions Politiques was launched in December 2020 by a group of researchers based in France. This new journal proposes to develop and disseminate French and international research devoted to anthropological readings of politics in the contemporary world. Large-scale planetary transformations (ecological, social, digital, economic, etc.) are reconfiguring our presence in the world and consequently, the very concept of human being as an individual and collective political subject. In today’s world new forms of politics are emerging that go hand in hand with these transformations and invites to rethink the “political” object beyond its conventional boundaries.

  The Lives and Afterlives of Extraction

  Resistance, Resilience, and Sustainability

  This special issue takes stock of these transformations by opening a discussion that goes beyond optimistic and pessimistic visions for the future of mining, or the divide between the palliative risk reduction and the potentially oxymoronic solution of sustainable extraction. Reflecting on these debates, and the growing public scrutiny and policy intervention that energy and extractive industries have been subject to, this special issue of International Development Policy mobilizes and brings attention to innovative solutions and creative alternatives to longstanding problems in the extractive sector, from formalization, local community participation, gender inequality, resource management, value transfers and North-South natural wealth distribution. At the same time, the special issue responds to ongoing calls to re-think the notion of “extractivism” (Szeman and Wenzel 2021) by studying the nature of extraction in multiple contexts and through multiple disciplinary lenses, taking heed of the gendered and lived experience of local communities, indigenous peoples, and workers.

  Sharing Viewpoints on Artists' Visual Culture and the Creative Process from the Middle Ages to the Present Day

  Différents des carnets de voyages, les carnets de notes, portfolio ou cahiers de références, dans lesquels sont dessinés toutes sortes d’ « objets » ou collés des documents de natures variées (dessins, gravures, coupures issues de diverses publications, photographies…), sont, à l’évidence, révélateurs de la démarche des artistes qui ont rassemblé là des images qui les ont séduits et dont ils souhaitent conserver la trace à des fins documentaires. L’objectif du colloque n’est pas de dresser un simple inventaire des carnets de références qui existent, mais bien plutôt d’analyser leur mode de conception ainsi que l’usage qui a pu en être fait par les artistes eux-mêmes. Pour les époques les plus anciennes, pour lesquelles les archives manquent, peut-être sera-t-il possible d’envisager la reconstitution virtuelle de probables tels carnets – ou corpus de références – au regard de la production personnelle d’un artiste.

  « Droit de la consommation » : fonctions et tensions

  Les Cahiers de droit

  L’image du consommateur que fabriquent et diffusent différents discours des sciences humaines, du marketing et des politiques publiques, et ce, depuis déjà plusieurs années, convoque les traits d’une personne raisonnable et « responsable », dont les aspirations dépassent souvent la satisfaction de ses intérêts matériels. Épousant de plus en plus les formes d’une figure renouvelée du citoyen, cette image du consommateur met surtout en avant le pouvoir d’infléchissement du processus de production des biens que lui donnerait son choix. Au même moment, par contre, un nombre croissant de consommateurs et d’associations, que semble réunir une conscience de groupe dépoussiérée, revendiquent toujours plus de droits d’accès au marché et à ses biens, dans l’objectif de satisfaire leurs « besoins essentiels ».
