Linguistic policies (public and family) through the prism of (multi)migration

Axis 2 “Inclusive societies”

Coordination: Giovanni Agresti (IKER – Bordeaux Montaigne University), William Berthomière (PASSAGES – Bordeaux Montaigne University), Valeria Villa-Pérez (ECCLA – University of Saint-Etienne)

Language policies are a vast archipelago of actions carried out “from above” (by States), “from below” (by societies) or “at mid-level” (by the collaboration of the State and of civil society) and speaking on languages ​​and their uses in society. They can be explored at different scales (state, regional, family, etc.) and from a plurality of contexts or fields. As part of this seminar on language policies, it is in the migratory environment that questions will be raised on the scales mentioned, taking into account the complexity and diversity of the trajectories of individuals and groups. Precisely in view of their richness, these questions will be addressed from an interdisciplinary and international perspective, notably by combining the views of sociolinguists, jurists, geographers and anthropologists.

The Workshops will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., Salle Jean Borde MSH Bx:

Decolonial and universal: crossed perspectives

Axis 2 “Inclusive societies”

Coordination: Michel Cahen (LAM, CNRS) and Elara Bertho (LAM, CNRS)

This seminar of theoretical text readings is collegial. It will focus on contemporary thoughts on decoloniality, understood as a continuing process of removing coloniality from power. What universes, what stories, what epistemologies are being put in place to renew the question of the universal, of the too easily binary center/periphery relationship, of a possible outside of coloniality? Anibal Quijano, Viveiros de Castro, Joseph Tonda, Mame-Fatou Niang, Souleymane Bachir Diagne, Walter Mignolo will, for example, be read collectively and presented by one of us. Each time it will be about reading together, questioning our misunderstandings, our disagreements or, on the contrary, our enthusiasms. From these theoretical readings, these texts awaken in each of us, depending on our fields, our research, our imaginations, reflections on our own positions. As a follow-up, we are considering: a publication of a journal issue “Decolonial News, Crossed Perspectives”.

The Workshops will take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Salle Jean Borde MSH Bx:

  • November 10, 2022 (10:30 a.m.-1 p.m., Amphithéâtre Papy, UBM): Elara Bertho, reading by Souleymane Bachir Diagne (the lateral universal)

Interdisciplinarity of the humanities and experimental and formal sciences

Axis 3 “Evolving Humanities”

Coordination: Cédric Brun (Bordeaux Montaigne University – SPH)

This monthly seminar scheduled for the fall semester of 2022 aims to offer reflection around the practices and epistemological and institutional issues of interdisciplinarity involving LLASHS and the disciplines of natural, material or formal sciences. This project will be continued beyond this period and its coherence is based on its ambition to question the conditions of possibility of building fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations between these disciplines.

To do this, during this first phase of the seminar, it will be a question of starting from what already exists (ie projects, past or in progress); these projects will be presented to several voices (LLASHS/natural, material and formal sciences) in a monthly hybrid seminar open to the entire academic community of Bordeaux and the region.

We will meet at the MSH Bx and allow remote colleagues to follow it during the lunch break, hence its name: “on the go” interdisciplinarity seminar which will take place from 12:30 p.m. to 2 p.m.:
