Round Tables > JokerRESEARCHERS AS ANALYSTS OF CURRENT EVENTS IN THE AMERICAS Thursday, September 23rd, 4:45pm-6:45pm Fondation de la Maison du Mexique, Auditorium Benito Juárez Organization : Robert Boyer (CNRS) Presentation : The objective is to show what researchers in a cultural area could contribute to the understanding of an event appearing as a surprise for media pundits. In Octo ber 2019, the theme of populism imposed itself during the first Congress, because it was rich in comparisons between the two Americas, externally and within. In April 2020, the sudden burst of Covid-19 has renewed the experience and encouraged the creation of the Institut des Ameriques’ blog, COVIDAM. The 2021 Congress session follows this experience. The format for this panel is as follows: a small representative committee of different disciplines and of North and South America communicate by internet or SMS on September 15th, 2021, to spot a recent event that allows to mobilize the variety of competences and expertise reunited within the Institut des Amériques. The selected theme is then transmitted to all the participants of the Congress and the committee asks researchers to present their analyses “on the spot”. Up until September 21st at the latest, the ad hoc committee selects and organizes the interventions and proposes a sequence for the potential participants. The most diverse participation possible is expected in terms of geographical areas, disciplines, academic status, career stages and gender. |
