Association conferences

In accordance with the theme of Congress 2024, “Sustaining shared futures”, ACEF/FSAC invites researchers working on ethnology, folklore, cultural heritage, or popular and vernacular culture to explore the spatial dimension of the construction and preservation of the common. The current specters of ecological crises, social tensions and technological risks, invite us to rethink our conceptions of the local and the global, culture and nature, the human and the non-human, or tradition and progress. Folklorists and ethnologists, through their attention to cultural practices in all their multiplicity, can thus contribute in exploring the forms and conditions of collective life that can be valued, constructed or preserved, in order to ensure our common futures.
