The world is currently traversed by a set of bodily, psychic and identity traumas that threaten the balance of plural and mixed societies. Faced with these threats, real or fantasized, different individual and collective strategies are put in place at the level of states, societies, institutions and singular individuals. In order to anticipate the collapse of identity, plural forms of resistance and resilience appears. From terrorist attacks to natural disasters, migration crisis to sexual harassment, stigmatization to (cyber)bullying, genocides, all forms of identity threats will be taken into consideration to determine the invariants and defensive strategies of the humanity of man in a context marked by the rise of extremes.
Following the conference "Adolescence in the world, the world of adolescents", the Psy-DREPI proposes, through its second international and interdisciplinary symposium, to analyze identity threats and resilience in today's world. It involves questioning the historical, psychic, somatic, psychosocial, groupal, cultural, intercultural and global processes involved in vulnerability issues and current societal identity crises, as well as the encounter between humans and their changing environments. The symposium aims to appreciate how the changes in the global world resonate in the internal world of individuals, but also how what emerges from the individual internal world can enlighten living together in our globalized societies.
Specialists in mental health, human and social sciences, psychologists, psychiatrists, sociologists, anthropologists, historians, social workers, educators, teachers, directors of care structures ... from all geographical and disciplinary horizons are called to share their practices, their reflections and research work on themes related to issues of identity and resilience in today's world: identity, interculturality, globalization, globality, violence, migration, trauma, radicalization .... but also creativity, resilience, social bond and emotional life.
