Summer School – Narrer l’Histoire. Récits, disciplines, regards croisés

Narrer l’Histoire. Récits, disciplines, regards croisés
XXème Université Européenne d’Été (UEE) du réseau OFFRES (Organisation francophone pour la formation et la recherche européennes en sciences humaines) 

Organisateurs : Université Charles de Prague, Université Catholique de Lyon, CEFRES
Date : 5-9 juillet 2021
Lieu : en ligne
Comité scientifique :
Pour le réseau OFFRES : Chiara Mengozzi, Chiara Pesaresi
Pour le CEFRES : Jérôme Heurtaux

Bien que, contrairement aux années précédentes, cette édition se déroule en ligne, les activités comprennent, comme lors des précédentes éditions de l’UEE, des conférences plénières (le matin) et des ateliers thématiques (l’après-midi). Chaque conférence, d’une durée de 30 min., sera suivie d’une discussion avec la salle d’environ 20 minutes. Quant aux ateliers thématiques, les responsables d’ateliers prendront contact avec les participants quelques semaines avant le début de l’UEE, et pourront les réunir pour préciser les modalités de déroulement de l’atelier et pour entamer le travail sur les textes et matériels choisis. Ce travail préparatoire et la mise en commun pendant les trois jours d’atelier aboutirons à la présentation finale des résultats et éventuellement à la rédaction d’un texte qui sera mis en ligne sur le site du réseaux OFFRES.

Les ateliers  se tiennent en parallèle sur toute la durée de l’UEE et se déroulent en cinq séances réparties comme suit (proposition non contraignante) :

  • 3 séances de travail en équipe (5-7 juillet) ;
  • 1 séance de rédaction en commun (8 juillet) ;
  • 1 séance plénière de présentation des résultats des ateliers (9 juillet).

Gender, Political Struggle and Academic Freedom

An International webinar organised by Institut du genre, CEFRES and CEMCA (French Center for Mexican and Center American Studies)

This webinar will focus on the relationship between academia and political struggle, with an emphasis on gender studies and the critical knowledge associated with them. We will first discuss the current terms of the conservative backlash against gender studies, the forms of pressure and censorship against them depending on the powers and political contexts, and the political and economic issues of academic autonomy.

We also aim to re-anchor this reflection into the historicity of the debates that the institutionalization of gender studies has aroused over the past thirty years. In different places, this field has arised in conjunction with democratic-liberal transitions. It also has been accused of depoliticizing feminist studies dissolving them in a scientific “new empire” strongly marked by the intellectual influence of the USA, or by the neoliberal globalization. This field of knowledge supposedly homogeneous in the eyes of its detractors continues to span across various and sometimes divergent approaches. It is on this basis that we will question the current forms of social resistance and the reorganization of this field of study.

Finally, by looking beyond the European perspective, we will consider the role of academic space and gender studies as a base for feminist demands (about gender-based violence in Mexico). And, we will ask how the efforts to constitute or consolidate this field of study are currently being carried out in academic spaces that still unwilling to give them a place in their own right, except under the unique angle of “development” (about gender studies in Cameroon).

This international webinar is organized in partnership with the Institute of Gender in France (IDG), the Center for Mexican and Central American Studies (CEMCA) and the French Research Center for Humanities and Social Sciences (CEFRES) in Prague on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the latter.

Date: 15 June 2021, 3–5 pm

Displaced Memories & Memories of Displacement

Displaced Memories & Memories of Displacement.
Vanquished Others, Silenced Past, and the Burden of Implication in the 21st Century

An International Workshop organized by the Institute of Ethnology, Czech Academy of Sciences, Strategy AV21 and CEFRES

This two-day Workshop seeks to provide a comparative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary platform to discuss many cases of how the silenced heritage of the displaced populations in Europe and beyond is being negotiated in the present day. Breaking away from the traditional nation-centred orientation, we will focus on the memories of displacement, focusing on the people who were forced to abandon their homelands and previous lives and to re-establish their lives and homes elsewhere, as well as on the displaced memories about the violent removal, both symbolic and physical, of the vanquished others from their social spaces.

Organizing committee: Michèle Baussant (CEFRES, CNRS, ICM), Maria Kokkinou (Charles University, CEFRES) and Johana Wyss (Czech Academy of Sciences / CEFRES).
