This multi-disciplinary conference will seek to analyse, from the perspective of social relationships of sex, the dynamics, adjustments and changes generated by alternative behavioural patterns to social norms, family conventions, sexual practices, etc. which emerge during periods of political upheaval and migration – such as those we have seen in the Mediterranean Basin. The debates will also focus on examples from History and on more recent events that highlight confrontation, repression, adaptation, violence, reconciliation, and innovation as expressed in emancipatory or, on the contrary conservative, resistance and in possibilities for North-South dialogue in these contexts.
