AIRD/ Mission Haïti /Appel à proposition JEHAI
L’appel à propositions « JEHAI » vise à repérer et soutenir de jeunes équipes de recherche en Haïti, destinées à s’insérer dans les réseaux de recherche internationaux.
Il se propose d’appuyer les équipes de recherche qui seront sélectionnées, d’une part en leur apportant des financements, d’autre part en facilitant leur association avec des équipes étrangères plus aguerries. L’objectif de cet appel à propositions n’est donc pas de financer des individus ni d’appuyer des équipes déjà solides et reconnues, mais de permettre à des groupes de chercheurs de se constituer en équipes, à travers la réalisation d’un projet de recherche et de formation par la recherche. La réalisation de ce projet doit servir de catalyseur pour que l’équipe soutenue devienne un pôle de référence dans son domaine et s’insère plus facilement dans des réseaux scientifiques nationaux et internationaux.
Date limite de candidature : 25 Janvier 2013

Call for communications :
Over the past thirty years, public policy research has grown as an academic field of study in many countries. Coming from a range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities, including political science, public administration, geography, sociology, economics and law among others, this research has helped develop our understanding of the many phenomena related to public policy-making by governments. In order to join together all of the researchers who work on public policy and their different approaches and topics, we invite you to attend the first International Conference on Public Policy (ICPP) which will take place at Science Po Grenoble, 26-28 June 2013.
The conference is sponsored by six Research Committees of the International Political Science Association which work on different aspect of public policy, and by the Public Policy sections of the European Consortium for Political Research and the American Political Science Association.

Panel title : Acting in the name of the state: practices, practical norms and the law in books
Convenors : Gerhard Anders (University of Edinburgh) & Giorgio Blundo (EHESS)
Short Abstract :
The panel examines how state ideas and the belief in the force of law are instantiated, contested and adapted in the everyday operation of bureaucracies in Africa. The aim is to get a better understanding of the contradictions and continuities between practices, practical norms and the law in books.
Long Abstract :
Across Africa, state agents’ practices are often at odds with the lofty ideals of the state and the rule of law. The empirical study of state bureaucracies in Africa has revealed a wide array of practical norms co-existing with official rules and statutes. These practical norms are intertwined with official rules, sometimes contradicting them and justifying corrupt behaviour but often ensuring the smooth operation of government as they bridge the gap between abstract rules and realities on the ground. This panel will seek to explore the complex dialectics between bureaucratic practices and practical norms on the one hand and the official rules and state ideas promising progress, justice and security on the other hand.
The importance of practical norms and the routinized transgression of official rules are in stark contrast to the excessive bureaucratic formalism and fetishization of law also characterizing the exercise of state authority in Africa. A central element of the latter are the ideas of the state invoked to legitimize or challenge the practices of government officials and state representatives. These ideas have been subject to a range of influences including the colonial administration, developmental thinking and the neoliberal paradigm. The panel invites contributions that examine how state ideas and the belief in the force of law are instantiated, contested and adapted in the everyday operation of bureaucracies across Africa. The objective is to get a better and empirically grounded understanding of the contradictions and continuities between practices, practical norms and the law in books.

Convocatoria para congreso de genero (6 AL 8 DE JUNIO DE 2013 ACAPULCO, GUERRERO, MÉXICO)
Una de las preocupaciones centrales de las Instituciones de Educación Superior (IES) y de la Administración Pública, es y ha sido lograr la institucionalización de la perspectiva de género y su proceso de transversalización en las políticas, tomando en consideración lo establecido por el Consejo Económico y Social de las Naciones Unidas (ECOSOC) acerca de lo que significa trasnsversalizar la perspectiva de género « es el proceso de valorar las implicaciones que tiene para los hombres y para las mujeres cualquier acción que se planifique, ya se trate de legislación, políticas o programas, en todas las áreas y en todos los niveles. Es una estrategia para conseguir que las preocupaciones y experiencias de las mujeres, al igual que las de los hombres, sean parte integrante en la elaboración, puesta en marcha, control y evaluación de las políticas y de los programas en todas las esferas políticas, económicas y sociales. »
Call for paper, ECAS 2013, Panel Revolution 3.0: « Iconographies of Utopia in Africa and its Diaspora »
Convenors :

Nadine Siegert (Bayreuth University): nadine.siegert@uni-bayreuth.de
Short Abstract :
The main question guiding the panel is the emergence of images in the context of imaginations of futures. Images as seismographers of radical shifts within societies – especially the iconography of revolution as the epitome of social change – will be discussed from interdisciplinary perspectives; .
Long Abstract
This panel investigates the emergence of images as imaginations of futures. As seismographers of radical shifts within societies, images often anticipate changes before they appear in the political and social discourse. Revolutions as epitomes of social change produce visual figurations in art, film and popular cultures.
Africa is rarely discussed with a perspective on revolution and utopia in the sense of positive powerful concepts of futures. We argue that the investigation of visual archives of African revolutions may provide knowledge about appearance and trajectories of dynamic icons and the ‘agency’ of images (Gell 1998). Their affiliations and clusters in different media provide a deeper understanding of projections of futures and their relation to the past. If revolutions aim at something new, a « concrete utopia » (Bloch 1985), this has to be reflected in images as well. New images, we argue, can only emerge in the field of aesthetics, where imaginations of utopian space and time (Rancière 2006) are possible. Art emerges not as a tool for propaganda, but as powerful element of social and aesthetic discourse.
We invite interdisciplinary perspectives from literature, cinema and art studies, visual anthropology and cultural studies. We ask for different projections of the future from Africa and how these imaginations are traceable in art, film, and popcultures. How are they related to historical moments: revolutions, independences and the aftermaths? How can they (re-)define historical events? How can new images, imaginations, concepts of future be generated? How do aesthetic practice and politics relate in situations of change?

Call for paper, ECAS 5 Conference Scheduled for Lisbon, Portugal, June,2013 : » Religion, Secularism and Developmentalism: Interrogating Contemporary African Philosophy of Religion »
Convener: Dr.Lawrence Ogbo Ugwuanyi, Senior Lecturer of Philosophy, Department of Philosophy and Religions, University of Abuja, Nigeria: ugwuanyiogbo37@yahoo.com
Other Panelists:
Professor Malachy Okwueze-Deputy Vice Chancellor, (Department of Religion), University of Nigeria, Nsukka
Professor Mogobe Ramose,Department of Philossophy,University of South Africa,Pretoria
Dr. Munyaradzi Felix Murove-Senior Lecturer, School of Philosophy and Ethics, University of KwaZulu-Natal,Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
Abstract :
Conceiving philosophy in broad terms as a critical investigation into the fundamental assumptions underlying beliefs, ideas or values; this panel sets out to apply the critical tools of philosophy to (i) point out the hidden tension between secularism and religion in contemporary Africa and the competing presence of both in African social and political life. It will (ii)articulate how and why both of them qualify to be categorized as agents of development in a contemporary African context and (iii)interrogate this state of affairs with the view to pointing out the dilemma of development ethics implied by this scenario. In particular the panel will attempt to locate the expectations contemporary Africans make both of religion on the one hand and of secularism on the other hand to see the extent to which these expectations could be right. It will address such questions as: Under what ethical framework will contemporary Africa emerge as a strong,
organized and powerful human community? Does religion or religious ethics deserve any role in contemporary African life? Is secularism or secular ethics a basic condition for proper development in Africa? What role should be assigned to religion in contemporary Africa, assuming that it is the case that religion is a basic demand of contemporary African life and why? How can this be done without the reversal of the African mind to the overbearing influence of dogmatism and anachronistic thinking that discourages the critical turn which leads to new forms of life that can properly reconfigure the African world?
The call for papers is open and closes on the 16th January 2013.
