• Workshop : Critical Infrastructure Protection

  9 September 2005, by Søby Kristensen Kristian
  In the time after September 11th 2001 a lot of effort, both political and scholarly, has gone into debating and deliberating various aspects of how to deal with and understand these new threats posed to Western societies. In fact, the processes associated with and highlighted in the ‘war on terror’ have shown new political practices that question the meaning and function of many core political concepts. Inside/outside, war/peace, civil/military, normal/exceptional are but a few of the political distinctions put in play by these new practices.

• Journée d’étude : La mise à l’écart des étrangers

  11 April 2005, by Cultures & Conflits, Politix
  Les logiques de stigmatisation, de mise à l’écart et d’enfermement des migrants sont apparues graduellement dans les paysages politiques occidentaux. Le phénomène est encore peu étudié dans les sciences sociales mais suffisamment déjà pour inciter deux revues à réunir différents spécialistes du sujet. Cultures & Conflits et Politix entendent, par la publication simultanée et coordonnée de numéros sur ce sujet, l’inscrire sur l’agenda scientifique et dans l’espace public : comment se construit et s’impose, dans le vocabulaire et dans les pratiques, une figure du migrant indésirable ? Quels sont les dispositifs mis en oeuvre, hier et aujourd’hui, ici et au loin, pour les contrôler et les reléguer dans des lieux où leurs droits, un à un, sont annulés ? Comment alors se redessinent les frontières entre l’acceptable et l’inacceptable en démocratie ? La plupart des 18 auteurs d’articles publiés dans ces deux numéros seront présents lors de la journée pour répondre aux questions et participer aux débats.
