CfP: Stream 7: ‘'Enhancing Capablities? Rethinking European Social Policies from a New Perspective'’

We would like to invite proposals for papers to Stream 7 ‘'Enhancing Capablities? Rethinking European Social Policies from a New Perspective'’ of the 2017 ESPAnet Conference 'New Horizons of European Social Policy: Risks, Opportunities and Challenges'; *14th-16th September 2017, Lisbon, Portugal.*

*Stream 7:* *‘'Enhancing Capablities? Rethinking European Social Policies from a New Perspective'’*

European social policies aim to address a broad array of issues, including (un)employment, activation, child and elderly care, education, health, housing, migration, aging and poverty. The design and evaluation of these policies has been approached from different perspectives, including the social investment paradigm, which has featured prominently in recent research. However, one key question has yet to be answered sufficiently: To
what extent do European social policies enhance individuals’ capabilities to achieve valued be-ings and do-ings (*functionings*)?

*CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS**Post-Yugoslav Feminist Activism in the 21**st** Century*

*Editors of the collective volume:* Zorica Sirocic (University of Graz) and Libora Oates-Indruchová (University of Graz)

The development of an explicitly feminist positioning already in the 1970s and the existence of initiatives alternative to the agenda of the state women’s organizations is what distinguishes the former Yugoslavia from
other countries of the former Eastern bloc with respect to women’s activism. This activism received a powerful impetus in the 1990s from the violent transition of the successor countries of federal Yugoslavia. It was
the latter rather than the legacy of the Yugoslav women’s movement that influenced the direction of feminist theory as well as activism in the 1990s. They both focused primarily on the interconnections between patriarchy, nationalism and war. Many feminist activists and academics of the 1990s positioned themselves against the nationalist politics of the successor states’ governments and, as such, were in the spotlight of the international academic and political attention. Consequently, this attention produced a wealth of feminist research and theory.

Fully funded 3-year PhD position: Irrelevant sound effect in open office space: neural signature with normal and impaired hearing

Fully funded 3-year PhD position
Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, CNRS/Université Lyon 1, Lyon, France

Topic — In open office spaces, workers are submitted to an ambient noise that is demonstrably distracting. This phenomenon is described in the scientific literature as the Irrelevant Sound Effect. The actual causes of this effect are misunderstood, which makes finding adequate solutions particularly difficult. In this project we propose to use electrophysiological markers of sound perception and speech
intelligibility — measured with electroencephalography, EEG — to uncover what properties of the ambient office noise are triggering the distracting effect. We will then use these same markers to understand how hearing impairment affects work in open office spaces.

Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University in Belgrade

POLITICS OF ENMITY: CAN NATION EVER BE EMANCIPATORY?

Belgrade, 26-28 September 2016

Nation and nationalism are in many ways peculiar and elusive concepts that could very easily be interpreted as being both ’banal’ and infinitely complex; primordial and modern; imagined and real. Since belonging to a specific national group can be seen as an important source of collective strength for many, solidarity of these collectives may serve as the basis for action to further strengthen these (imagined) bonds. The process itself, more often than not, assumes the existence of another, equally potent, equally solidary collective – most often irreducibly distinct from ours. This positioning which comes part and parcel with the idea of the nation – more so with nationalism – seems to centre around the idea of enmity: the antipode of solidarity among those who belong to ‘Us’. Enmity, as well as solidarity, is thus one of the cornerstones of the ‘practicing of nation’, something which shapes and perpetuates nation as a political identitary framework.

It is often argued that nationalism can be seen as the modern form of Gemeinschaft which answers ontological needs created by the uncertainties of modernity and its power structures. On the other hand, we witness a growth of a global society with an increasingly integrated system, primarily socio-economic, but also cultural and perhaps political.  Globalisation creates opportunities, but also crises in which we have to remake our lives and identities (Giddens, 2000). At the same time, social relations continue to be governed and institutionalised in accordance with national temporalities and located within the spaces of the nation. The shift from national to post-national regime cannot be established. Rather, what we see is the emergence of trans-border nationalism as a perverted adaptation of the nation-state model (Brubaker, 2015). The powers of the nation-state are increasing in spite of the global challenges of migration, opening the new perspectives on solidarity but also on enmity.

Widowhood from armed conflicts in Europe (19e-20e centuries)

Workshops

                                                   Call for papers

 

This workshop is the third and last of cycle of three workshops on the Widows, the widowers and widowhood in Europe in the contemporary period (To have more information on the general project :http://www.labex-ehne.fr/2014/04/22/journees-detude-appel-a-communication-veuves-veufs-et-veuvages-en-europe-a-lepoque-contemporaine-19e-21e-siecles/).

This third workshop aims at wondering about the widowhood caused by situations of armed conflicts (world wars between states, civil wars, independence wars, others forms of conflicts such as terrorism…)

The definition of the widowhood is the same as that the one for the previous workshops : The widowhood is not envisaged in its strictly legal definition : it includes for example surviving spouses, married or not.
