CfP: Violencia y política en Latinoamérica: instituciones, sociedad civil y conflictividad

Cette Journée d'Etudes portera sur les liens entre violence et politique dans l'Amérique Latine contemporaine (XX-XXIème). Nous nous proposons d'examiner le phénomène de la violence comme élément structurant du politique dans le sous-continent, qu'il s'agisse d'une violence d'"en haut" (contrôle, répression exercés par l'Etat), d'"en bas", sous une forme extrême ou diffuse. Nous nous interrogerons sur les modalités de manifestation et d'expression de la violence, ainsi que sur les buts qu'elle peut servir.

CfP: The Moral Economies of Knowledge Production on Migration: Conflicts, Values, Positionalities

In current research about migration, there is a growing interest in the ways in which knowledge shapes migration and the experiences and apparatuses connected to it. Researchers, thus, draw attention to the categories, technologies, and data that inform border and migration policies (and vice versa). They point to the ways in which different mobilities come to be categorized, ordered and made legible to the state. They explore how the production of mobile subjects such as “the expat” or “the illegal migrant” is interconnected with specific imaginations of nations, societies or empires.

Marx Memorial Library Flood Appeal

Marx Memorial Library Flood Appeal
- £37,500 raised, £12,500 to go! Can you help?

On 24 September 2019 the Marx Memorial Library suffered a devastating flood. Problems with our flat roof and drainage system meant water gushed through our storerooms.
