CfP: Sexualités: l’intimité entre normes et singularités (French)

3 months 2 weeks ago

One-day study session at University of Pau, 12 April 2024

Cette journée d’étude propose d’explorer la question de la sexualité de manière transdisciplinaire. Cet événement scientifique est organisé par les étudiants en master 2 « Histoire, civilisation, patrimoine » de l’université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour. Il s’agit, dans le cadre de cette manifestation, de questionner la sexualité à travers l’histoire, l’archéologie, l’anthropologie et l’histoire de l’art sur le temps long et au sein d'espaces géographiques variés. L’objectif de cette journée sera de questionner l’expression d’une tension entre norme(s) et singularité(s) sexuelle(s) dans le paysage social, politique, culturel et religieux des sociétés anciennes et actuelles.

Argumentaire

Cette journée d’étude se veut transdisciplinaire. L’apport de chaque discipline permettra de décentrer les conceptions et les réflexions en apportant des points de vue, des approches et des méthodes différentes. L’intérêt réside dans le dialogue qui peut se créer en confrontant ces différentes sources et disciplines.

La masse de représentations iconographiques, littéraires, cinématographiques ou vidéoludiques qui émanent des représentations individuelles et collectives permettent d’approcher cette thématique par de multiples regards questionnant à la fois les méthodes, les sources et les approches des diverses disciplines à ces enjeux. À l'inverse, la difficulté que présente l'étude de l'intime par les sources archéologiques est un contre-point saillant. L'étude des sources historiques présente souvent la difficulté de saisir le privé par-delà le voile des pudeurs. L'enquête anthropologique quand à elle, interroge les manières d'aller à la rencontre de l'autre, de son affect et de ses sentiments.

À partir de ces éléments, nous pouvons alors entrevoir des pistes de réflexion stimulantes. À cette occasion, nous tenterons de croiser les réflexions autour de ces sujets à la lumière des enjeux actuels de nos sociétés. Une histoire de l'intimité est-elle possible, et à partir de quelles sources ? Comment étudier et appréhender l’intime et la singularité dans une société normative ? Comment questionner et dépasser la rigidité et la régularité de la norme en tant qu’institution sociale ? Comment la norme impose-t-elle un modèle et réprime les singularités ? Comment les singularités peuvent-elles bousculer les normes ?

La sexualité, au sein des sciences sociales, est étudiée au travers des pratiques, des identités sexuelles et de la représentation des pratiques sexuelles et sexualisantes. L’après-guerre, et surtout l’après Mai 1968, est marqué par une libération sexuelle ayant un important écho dans les sciences sociales à partir des années 1970. Dès lors, la sexualité a été pensée dans son rapport au pouvoir, au discours et à la répression (Foucault, 1976). Ainsi, l’encadrement par l’Eglise au sein de l’Europe médiévale et moderne (Rossiaud, 2012), mais aussi le mariage comme système normatif constituent des institutions qui régulent les rapports à la sexualité dans un cadre pratique.

Le corps est sujet à de nombreuses représentations aussi bien érotiques (Journiac, 1972), intimes (Darmon, 2012) et normatives (Buscatto, 2012). Le corps est contrôlé et est investi de normes dominatrices à travers la colonisation notamment (Peiretti-Courtis, 2021). L'histoire des violences sexuelles et conjugales met au jour les rapports entre sexe et domination (Vanneau, 2016) ; dans le cadre colonial ou en temps de guerre, elle revêt une fonction altérisante. Elle est aussi intimement liée à celle des dominations sexuelles. Ainsi, les violences sexuelles et la sexualisation revêtent une fonction altérisante aussi bien du point de vue de l’histoire du genre que dans un rapport de domination coloniale (Boëtsch dir, 2019 ; Blanchard dir, 2018) et en temps de guerre (Branche & Virgili dir, 2011). Il est aussi intéressant de questionner l’évolution des normes et des conceptions concernant les actes et les conceptions sexuelles sur le temps long (Boehringer, 2016).

Un des exemples flagrants du rapport à la norme, à l’intimité et aux singularités est la prostitution (Corbin, 1978 ; Rossiaud, 1988). Son existence et sa polymorphie sont à questionner dans un élan transdisciplinaire afin d’observer les continuités et les ruptures des normes et des représentations qui l'entourent. Imposer des normes insinue aussi l’existence de pratiques et d’identités qui transgressent ces normes, qui forment des singularités. Les relations entre personnes de même sexe n’ont pas toujours été considéré comme le fruit d’une répression ou d’un jugement et varient selon les contextes sociaux, politiques, religieux et culturels (Aldrich, 2006). Néanmoins, l’existence de pratiques sexuelles illégales ou singulières dans un cadre donné rend compte de l’impossible suprématie de la norme (Aldrich, 2002).

L’immiscions des queer studies dans le champ des recherches sur la sexualité et le genre à partir des années 1990 aide à saisir les constructions d’identités genrées et remet en question la nature même des genres qui sont mouvants selon les sociétés et les époques (Boehringer, 2007; Dellile, 2022). Cette historiographie apporte un regard transdisciplinaire majeur entre histoire et histoire de l’art (Warner, 1993 ; Bordes, 2007 ; Barlow, 2017). Les enjeux contemporains qui marquent nos sociétés invitent à historiciser et à repenser ces thématiques afin d’en étudier leurs racines et leurs formes.

Les champs thématiques présentant un certain intérêt pour la journée d’étude, sans pour autant s’y limiter sont les suivants :

  •     Histoire, archéologie et anthropologie du genre ;
  •     Histoire, archéologie et anthropologie de la prostitution ;
  •     L’érotisme et représentation du corps ;

CfP: Getting Old in Eastern Europe. Social, Political and Economic Dimensions of Ageing in the Past and Present

3 months 2 weeks ago

Call for Papers for the 11th Annual Conference of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies (IOS) on "Getting Old in Eastern Europe. Social, Political and Economic Dimensions of Ageing in the Past and Present". The submission deadline is February 15, 2024. The conference will take place from June 27 to 29, 2024.

Getting Old in Eastern Europe. Social, Political and Economic Dimensions of Ageing in the Past and Present

East and Southeast Europe present a unique situation when it comes to ageing: fertility has declined fast to very low levels; emigration rates are high whereas immigration levels are low; mortality is relatively high, healthcare systems are weak and unhealthy life-styles widespread. High Corona-19 mortality rates and low life expectancy are obvious consequences. At the same time, pension systems face huge challenges and poverty rates among older persons are high. Observers often frame ageing in terms of “decline” or “crisis”, instead of highlighting its potentials and tackling the root causes of the social predicament of old people. How did old people in East and Southeast Europe end up in such a difficult situation? What dilemmas does the region face today? And what are the likely scenarios for the future?

At the same time, any study of these problems must take into account the heterogeneity of ageing and other demographic trends in East and Southeast Europe. The demographic, social, and economic characteristics as well as policy responses vary from country to country and indeed within each country. The situation requires a solid comparative analysis which considers intersectional inequalities, including gender, ethnicity, residence, and education. This conference asks: what economic, social, and political factors influence ageing, and how does ageing affect social relations, economic potential, and policymaking? Historically, what factors have contributed to the creation of institutions supporting the older population, and which specific aging patterns and practices can be detected in East and Southeast Europe through the 19th and 20th centuries?

The 2024 Annual Conference of the Leibniz Institute for East and Southeast European Studies will investigate ageing today and the historical dimensions of this process from multiple perspectives. We seek to highlight the economic, social, and political aspects while also inviting contributions that address future scenarios. The conference aims at cross-disciplinary dialogue. We therefore invite proposals from different social sciences, including history, economics, social anthropology, political science, public health, and sociology, that address the central questions of the conference. While we want to focus on East and Southeast Europe, we also encourage comparative and transregional perspectives. We also want to explore the impact of the international level on the region. We invite contributions applying qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods approaches.

Paper proposals should address any of the follow themes:

Public perceptions of and discourses about ageing, including the production of expert knowledge
Economic consequences of ageing at the micro- and macrolevel
Policy responses and political attitudes
Social consequences of ageing, including relations between generations
Old people as agents of change
Care practices and institutional responses, including questions of the built environment
Keynote speakers: Alissa Klots (University of Pittsburgh, Department of History), Eduard Jongstra (UNFPA, Regional Office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia)
Conveners: Ulf Brunnbauer, Vladimir Kozlov, Kathleen Beger

The conference takes place in cooperation with the research project “Transforming Anxieties of Ageing in Southeastern Europe” (funded by the VolkswagenStiftung) and the Leibniz ScienceCampus “Europe and America in the Modern World”.

Applications should be sent to AnnualConference@ios-regensburg.de in one PDF file. The file name should include the name of the author. The application must include: an abstract (max. 300 words) and a short CV (max. 2 pages) including your institutional affiliation, contact details and most important publications.

Creative methodologies. Writing the stories of working women from popular classes in African urban milieux, 1920 — 1970

3 months 2 weeks ago

This conference seeks to address the problems of researching and writing the history of female urban professionals, that is women who earned an income by working in professions such as birth attendants, beauty specialists (hairdressers, beauticians), market vendors, craftswomen (tailors, pottery makers), wedding singers and musicians, and so on. However, how to do so? The aim of this conference is to reflect together on what it is perhaps the most obvious common points that these workers shared (and still share): the silence of historiography about them; their almost total absence from national master narratives, including stories of national liberation; their lack of subjectivity as historical actors.

Argument

This conference seeks to address the problems of researching and writing the history of female urban professionals, that is women who earned an income by working in professions such as birth attendants, beauty specialists (hairdressers, beauticians), market vendors, craftswomen (tailors, pottery makers), wedding singers and musicians, and so on.

While putting in the same category very heterogenous female professions is problematic, it is possible to maintain that this has a relevant heuristic value. Comparing the histories of urban professional women in different African countries is essential for gendering the history of African labour. Indeed, the story of the migration of the (male) labour force in African cities has been broadly explored, but the consequences on women are yet to be fully understood. As the populations of cities transformed deeply with the increase in the number of women, female professions began to diversify. We need to bring back to history working women as historical agents and show their centrality in the making of the colonial and post-colonial urban fabrics.

However, how to do so? The aim of this conference is to reflect together on what it is perhaps the most obvious common points that these workers shared (and still share): the silence of historiography about them; their almost total absence from national master narratives, including stories of national liberation; their lack of subjectivity as historical actors. This silence in turn recalls another absence, that of archives. Compared to a number of political subjects which generated interminable reports - today kept in colonial and official archives - we are confronted with a scarcity of direct (textual) traces documenting the lives, the situations and the working conditions of these women.

How to address these silences is the core question of this conference. We maintain here that they can be broken through methodologies that require creativity, imagination, and courage. It is necessary to dare venturing into other disciplines (anthropology, sociology) and to mix qualitative and quantitative methodologies. It also requires to be ready to tackle and combine very different typologies of sources, which sometimes push historians out of their comfort zones. As working women are the subject of dozens of pictures in photographic archives, photography has a special place in this conference. However, other sources of great interest are represented by vernacular literature, poetry, and songs. At the same time, we must engage too with sources that are generally used by historians: statistical graphs, population censuses, health bulletins, cadastres, market minutes, and parish records. Traces of women may also be found in the rich political literature of these dense times, in trade union records, activists’ reports, and tracts written by left-wing parties, which in various parts of Africa were historically engaged with the popular classes. Last but not least, oral history, which in itself raises a host of questions related to the possibility of recovering the memory of female workers who were often stigmatized. This in turn calls into question notions such as marginality, racial and ethnic discrimination, exploitation, and sometimes slave background, and thus the writing of subaltern histories. Yet, we make the choice here to see the workers first of all as agents and actors of history, even if amidst difficult and often exploitative conditions of work.

Hence, we solicit interventions that focus on innovative and creative methodologies and reflect on the opportunities but also challenges of using different types of sources to recover, as much as possible, the lives and work experiences of urban professional women.

We would particularly welcome interventions on the relation between sources and the relation to the history of women, including but not limited to:

  • Photography as a methodology
  • Vernacular and popular literature (poetry, novels)
  • The vernacular press
  • Folk songs and music
  • Quantitative sources
  • Oral sources
  • Diaries, biographies, family papers

This conference is part of the ERC project “Women at Work, for a comparative history of African urban professionals in four African Countries (Sudan, Ethiopia, Ghana and Tanzania) 1920-1970”, and is sponsored by the European Research Commission.
