Contribution to the Blog

Call for contributions for the PIPOL 12 blog

Family and its discontents, does this theme resonate with you ? If so, please don’t hesitate to send us your contribution. Your text will be published in the FaMIL newsletter, which will be sent out weekly in the lead-up to the EuroFederation Congress, PIPOL 12.

Based on Katty Langelez-Stevens’ argument, six axes of work have been identified and will serve as the blog’s sections : Family / Institution, Transmissions / Tensions, Family Residue, Family Resources, Family Madnesses, Family Rejection.

Each of these six sections, broken down into a few keywords listed below, will be introduced by an orientation text. These six texts will serve as a solid compass to help orient your own text, your reading of the theme.

You will also soon be able to discover the bibliography carefully compiled by our colleagues — the nuggets it contains might just inspire and encourage you to write a post !

Family and its discontents is a theme that regularly features in the news and it is a topic also treated by politics and science. Your analytical reading could teach us about the issues raised in these different fields. Artistic production in all its forms (cinema, literature, etc.) are full of references to the crucial questions raised by our congress theme. Your post could find a rich resource there for commentary and analysis that might shed light on it.

For reasons of confidentiality, clinical vignettes will not be accepted.

Your texts should be sent to the following address: blog@pipolcongres.eu, with the subject line FaMIL+ author’s name — in Word format, Times New Roman 12 font, maximum 3500 characters (including spaces and notes), and indicated in the body of the text and below the title, the author’s first and last name, email address and the name of the section it is being proposed for.

Please ensure that references are included as endnotes — using simple reference markers in the body of the text (numbers in square brackets, no automatic markers) — and following the usual format. And for your references and quotations, please use official publications and versions of the original text.

We look forward to receiving your texts !
