Dear colleagues,
 

We are inviting you to submit abstracts to the IV International Congress of Human Sciences, entitled: Where is humanity headed? Between ideals, emotions, and technosciences will be held in November 2026, but proposals must be submitted by March 31.  Our Strand is called "Autonomy as a project: learning and tensions in instituting processes" (Mesa 17, Strand 17)

The content of our Strand (see below for a brief summary) is conceptually aligned with a proposal that our team is co-coordinating with the Latin American Regional Group of the International Network of Community Economies (called “Commons and communalization: praxis for a decolonizing mobilization”).

We ask you to please disseminate our proposal and join us by sending abstracts to participate.

Best,

Ana Inés Heras

IV Congreso Internacional de Ciencias Humanas ¿por dónde va lo humano?  Entre ideales, afectos y tecnociencias → 4, 5, 6 de noviembre de 2026

The call for proposals is open https://www.aacademica.org/4.congreso.eh.unsam/tabs/submissions 

See our CfP for "Mesa 17" - Autonomy as a project: learning and tensions in instituting processes. The notion of autonomy in politics has been defined as a constant movement, that is, as a project. In this theoretical key, it is assumed that the instituting forces continuously extend horizontality in decision-making and include the capacity to act with greater justice. Such processes involve conflicts and tensions. This is an aspect that interests our working group: the analysis of the tensions, contradictions and conflicts that give rise to ethical-political learning and that re-enter the concrete field of action. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

 

Vean nuestro llamado en la Mesa 17 - MESA 17.  La autonomía como proyecto: aprendizajes y tensiones instituyentes
Coordinación: Ana Inés Heras (LICH-EH-UNSAM/CONICET), Pablo Matías Herrera (LICH-EH-UNSAM/CONICET) y Marcelo Vieta (University of Toronto, Canadá)

La noción de autonomía en política se ha definido como un constante ir hacia, es decir, como proyecto. En esta clave teórica, se asume que las fuerzas instituyentes extienden en forma continua la horizontalidad en la toma de decisiones e incluyen la capacidad de actuar con mayor justicia. Dichos procesos incluyen conflictos y tensiones. Éste es un aspecto que interesa a nuestro grupo de trabajo: el análisis de las tensiones, contradicciones y conflictos que dan lugar a aprendizajes ético-políticos y que reingresan al campo concreto de acción.
