This thematic issue of Sociologie du travail examines how subaltern workers are affected by im/mobility, i.e. the multiple spatio-temporal assemblages that simultaneously constrain and delimit their movement and mobility practices. The challenge is to rethink work as the product of the tension between mobilization of the workforce, restriction of its movements and workers' agentivity. Mobility and its corollary, immobility, constitute a battlefield where the logics of coercion, control, mobilization and commitment, as well as the aspirations to autonomy of the most fragile workers, clash and recompose themselves.

Each issue of Nouvelles Questions Féministes deals with a theme proposed by a coordinating group, made up of members of the magazine's editorial board and possibly external specialists. The magazine accepts off-theme proposals for the Champ libre section at all times, and reserves the Grand angle section for thematic contributions. NQF regularly issues calls for contributions on these themes, but not always, when, for example, an issue is put together following a symposium that the editorial board has deemed of interest to the magazine.

This seminar aims to provide an open and regular academic forum dedicated to the presentation of recent or ongoing research in legal history, gender studies, the history of judicial practices, legal discourse analysis, and historiographical reflection. It is intended for both established researchers and doctoral and postdoctoral students whose work falls within this field.

These doctoral workshops will provide an opportunity to examine the legal regimes governing animals. Indeed, the plural is appropriate here, as there are a multitude of legal regimes: legal scholarship tends to distinguish between animals close to humans, animals useful to humans, and wild animals. This academic event will thus facilitate discussion on the various legal frameworks governing animals and contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity of this subject.

The socioeconomic and environmental impacts of Canada’s extractive industries, their international ramifications, and the challenges they face in the midst of a systemic environmental crisis justify the French Association for Canadian Studies (AFEC) dedicating its 50th conference to this issue. During this conference, we will examine the logic of extraction from various perspectives in order to foster dialogue among the disciplines represented within the AFEC. We will seek to understand the extent to which the dynamics of extraction—from the forestry industry to the exploitation of fossil fuels—have transformed not only ways of life but also the diverse expectations and concerns of contemporary Canadian society.

The Parliament of Paris is one of the largest producers of archives from the medieval period, and the diversity of the parties and disputes brought before the court has fueled research far beyond the history of medieval justice and procedure alone, opening up new perspectives in political, economic, social, and cultural history. This conference has a twofold objective. On the one hand, it aims to bring together researchers from various disciplines who are currently working on or with the Parliament’s collection and to encourage them to discuss new research perspectives that may emerge from renewed access to the archives. Second, the conference aims to take stock of the use of the numerous research tools that have been gradually developed and to consider which ones should be developed in the future.

This call for papers for an edited volume on the theme: “Risk Management, Security Crises, and Disasters. Political-Strategic, Legal, and Managerial Perspectives in Cameroon,” is a project led by the Center for Political and Strategic Studies (CREPS) at the University of Yaoundé II, with support from the National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM) and the University of Garoua in Cameroon. By calling for contributions from academics, senior military officers, and risk management practitioners, this volume is not merely intended to describe security crises. It aims to continue working toward conceptualizing security, sharing practitioners’ experiences, and serving as a source of proposals—a strategic compass for decision-makers. As the saying goes, “To govern is to foresee.”
