OPEN CALL | Encontro “Nós estamos contigo na casa” | arquivos, trabalho doméstico e ação coletiva
(6-7 de fevereiro de 2026 – Lisboa)

Sou socióloga e investigadora da Universidade Nova de Lisboa, trabalhando sobre o Sindicato do Serviço Doméstico. Encaminho-lhes uma chamada de contribuições para o encontro “Nós estamos contigo na casa” (Lisboa, 6 e 7 de fevereiro 2026), apelando e agradecendo toda a difusão através dos vossos canais e junto dos contactos que considerarem potencialmente interessados em participar.

Seria muito importante termos participação de grupos de trabalhadoras organizadas na limpeza, no cuidado, e no trabalho doméstico.

Algumas notas sobre este encontro:

Tendo como principal ponto de partida a imersão em arquivos do sindicalismo, de experiências de autogestão e de cooperativismo no serviço doméstico ou de limpeza, convidamos à submissão de propostas que se debrucem sobre os diversos repertórios de organização e luta adotados por trabalhadoras e trabalhadores deste setor/ atividade. Assim, esperamos contributos que incidam sobre história oral ou pesquisas em arquivos, na narração de experiências e auto-representações das condições e contextos laborais.

Procurando estabelecer um diálogo transnacional e interdisciplinar destas experiências, aceitam-se contribuições nos seguintes eixos:

1. práticas de arquivo de/ sobre trabalho doméstico;
2. fluxos migratórios, cidadania, género e racialização no trabalho doméstico, de limpeza e de cuidados;
3. ação coletiva, cooperativismo e sindicalismo de trabalho doméstico.

Este encontro procura estimular a presença e partilha entre ativistas, artistas, investigadoras/es, trabalhadoras/es e sindicatos — pelo que são bem-vindas contribuições de vários âmbitos disciplinares. As atividades irão decorrer na Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa e no Centro de Cultura de Cabo Verde, na Rua de São Bento — a mesma rua onde funcionou a sede do Sindicato do Serviço Doméstico.

Pedimos um envio de pequenos resumos (máx. 500 palavras), com uma breve biografia, até ao dia 10 de Novembro de 2025.

Submissões para encontro.trabalhodomestico2026@gmail.com.
Para mais informações, a chamada para contribuições está completa, online, em (PT) https://ihc.fcsh.unl.pt/events/estamos-contigo-casa/ / (UK) https://ihc.fcsh.unl.pt/en/events/with-you-at-home/.

Call for Papers for The Lusophone Journal of Cultural Studies

The Call for Papers for The Lusophone Journal of Cultural Studies Vol. 13, N.º 1 on the subject Transnational Lives and Cultural Contexts is open from 26 September to 30 November, 2025

Thematic Editors: Emília Araújo (CECS, Universidade do Minho, Portugal), Carlos Barros (Universidade Católica Portuguesa, Portugal) & Mieke Schrooten (Odisee University of Applied Sciences/University of Antwerp, Bélgica)

As transnational families gain visibility in academic and policy debates, recent research highlights the need to deepen our understanding of what it means to be transnational and the long-term implications of such experiences (Budginaitė-Mačkinė et al., 2025). Scholars are increasingly examining not only the institutional fragilities of support systems but also the cultural contexts that shape these experiences (Barros & Hanenberg, 2024).

In a time of growing public and political uncertainty around migration and mobility, it is crucial to make visible the lived realities of transnational families—whose experiences of belonging, displacement, and care span geographically distinct locations (Bryceson, 2019; Doetsch et al., 2017; Guerra & Barros, 2025; Schrooten, 2021).

Aim of the Thematic Issue

This thematic issue invites contributions that explore how culture shapes experiences of displacement and mobility, and how transnationality and vulnerability are lived, narrated, negotiated, and resisted within transnational family networks. We welcome analyses of how variables such as gender, race, class, and citizenship intersect to produce layered forms of individual and familial precarity, and how institutions, media, and technologies mediate these experiences across borders, thereby constructing “cultures of vulnerability” with which families may or may not identify.

We also encourage critical reflections on the theoretical, methodological, and ethical challenges of researching transnational lives.

Suggested Topics

We invite interdisciplinary, empirically grounded, and theoretically engaged articles, particularly those that draw on Sociology, Communication, Psychology, Social Work, Anthropology and Migration Studies.

Suggested topics include:

1. Conceptual and Methodological Approaches

Theorising transnationality and vulnerability in cultural contexts
Methodological innovations in researching transnational family life
Ethical dilemmas in studying displacement and precarity across borders

2. Cultural Representations and Narratives

Cultural imaginaries of uncertainty, loss, and displacement
Diasporic memory, cultural citizenship, and practices of belonging
Family archives and visual storytelling of transnational vulnerability

3. Temporalities and Emotional Geographies

Waiting, endurance, and intergenerational care in transnational families
Temporal dimensions of trauma, healing, and resilience in migration
“Living time”: activism, resistance, and cultural expressions of endurance

4. Institutional and Structural Challenges

Professional mismatch, labour precarity, and identity negotiation
Transnational family life in times of crisis, disaster, or systemic breakdown
Navigating institutional fragilities: care, support, and legal frameworks

5. Media, Technology, and Future Imaginaries

Cross-border digital cultures and mediated family connections
Technologies of care and surveillance in transnational contexts
Imagining futures: aspirations, mobility, and cultural resistance
Theories and methods on transnationality and vulnerability
