Call for Proposals - International Researchers' Day "Rethinking Centrality: Exploring Borders, Margins & Peripheries"

ERUA invites researchers to the International Researchers’ Day at Université Paris 8 (15–16 June), exploring the theme “Rethinking Centrality: Borders, Margins and Peripheries” through interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration.

Following our European Alliance’s collective reflection, the theme of this new edition is Critical Edge(s), inviting participants to consider borders, margins, peripheries as sites of institutional construction, subjectivization, political experience, and inventive capacity.

The notion of edge(s) designates a type of ‘non space’, an interstitial space for social, geographical, cultural, and intellectual margins, where contact with exteriority, alterity, and the material realities of peripheries collide to produce new perspectives. Thinking on and from the edge(s) means inhabiting a space that is both vulnerable and generative: a place where crises often manifest first, yet where creative practices, critical thought, and new forms of collective organization continually emerge.
