CfA: Les paysanneries et les ruralités d’aujourd’hui

Il y a 20 ans, la revue Insaniyat publiait un numéro entièrement dédié à la question de la paysannerie algérienne (Paysans algériens ? N°7 de janvier-avril 1999, vol. III, 1). L’ambition de ce numéro spécial paru en 1999 visait à présenter quelques travaux et productions scientifiques portant à la fois sur les trajectoires historiques de la paysannerie, et plus largement celles du monde rural, ainsi que les changements affectant les campagnes algériennes au cours des années 1990.

CfP: Men & Masculinities under Socialism. A Social and Cultural History

For several decades now, scholars have taken an interest in analyzing the socialist attempt to transform traditional gender arrangements and revolutionize the family. In contrasting the ideal of women’s emancipation with everyday experience under socialism, studies have demonstrated the limits of the socialist “solution” to “the woman question.” However, recent debates about the very notion, meaning, and existence of feminism(s) under socialist rule show the ongoing relevance of the topic.
