Arts and Literature in Latin America in the 21st Century: A Crossroads?
Amerika n°32
Following the colloquium held in Rennes, France, on October 9 and 10, to celebrate the magazine's fifteenth anniversary and as we approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, we would like to explore how contemporary Latin American imaginaries (primarily through literary and artistic production) contextualize not only belonging to specific territories but also the place these territories occupy in an increasingly globalized cultural universe.

Linguistic Capital and Employability: Issues of Economic Inclusion
This conference explores the role of linguistic capital in employability and economic inclusion. It examines how mastery of legitimate languages influences access to work, social mobility, and territorial development, while also reinforcing inequalities and symbolic violence. Discussions will focus on education, multilingualism, language policies, and strategies that promote sustainable economic inclusion.

Politics and Narratives of the Body
The International Colloquium Politics and Narratives of the Body aims to open an interdisciplinary dialogue, considering the multiple ways of thinking, representing, embodying and writing corporeality, particularly in contemporary contexts. The policies created around the body generate diverse, dissenting, irreverent and complex narratives, discourses and poetics. In this way, the congress is expected to convene studies on the body and the policies and narratives built around it, from perspectives that include an interdisciplinary approach. Thus, different disciplines of the human, social and artistic sciences would converge in order to transversally think about corporeality.

Revue « In Vivo Arts » No. 3
The In Vivo Arts team proposes an exploration of the concept of virtualities, and therefore invite artists, researchers, playwrights, performers, theorists, technicians, educators, and thinkers in the performing arts and cinema to submit reflections, texts, experiments, critiques, archives, works, or testimonies that interrogate this concept beyond its broad association with the world of digital technology, Artificial Intelligence, or new technologies.

Antiracisms and the Social Sciences, 2025-2066
This seminar examines the history and sociology of antiracism—or antiracisms—in the Atlantic region since the end of the 18th century. We will be looking at how what we now call “racism” has been thought about and combated over the long term. Few studies are explicitly devoted to antiracism. We will, therefore, propose a genealogy of antiracist strategies. This seminar is committed to articulating a transdisciplinary and transnational perspective on the dynamics of anti-racist thought and practice.

Education and pedagogy in Bayle's work
Online Bayle Seminar 2026
Online Bayle Seminar est un groupe d’étude et de recherche consacré à la figure de Pierre Bayle. Dans l’esprit même de la « République de Lettres » chère à Bayle, il se veut à la fois international et interdisciplinaire, et ambitionne de dépasser les cloisonnements entre écoles et approches qui ont parfois marqué les études bayliennes. Le sujet pour cette seconde année est « Éducation et pédagogie chez Bayle ». Que ce soit dans une perspective biographique ou philosophique, la question a touché de près la vie et la production de Bayle.

Le travail de l’administration sur elle-même dans l’Europe moderne (représentations, savoirs, matérialités)
In a now-celebrated text, Denis Richet analyzed how the monarchy shaped itself. In its second year, this webinar invites participants to build on his analysis by shifting the focus to the institutional, individual, and collective actors who, in their daily exercise of sovereignty, worked to shape their own offices, challenge the orders they received, and invent an ancient origin for their practices. These practices were often recently established as a result of political manoeuvres, disgrace, or dynastic change.

The New History of the Age of Gunpowder in Asia
The aim of this issue of Bellica is to bring together articles exploring the new history of the “age of gunpowder” in Asia from the 10th century to the present. By studying the origins, evolution, uses, and consequences of firearms in Asia over the last millennium, this collection of articles aims to highlight the recent opening-up of military history to the non-Western world, without denying the West’s importance.

An ecological transition under strain: country, landscape, and uses in contemporary Germany
The starting point for this conference is the observation that the ecological transition in Germany, which one might have thought would be easier or at least more harmonious than in other countries due to the importance that environmental issues have had in German culture, society, and politics from very early on, is in fact encountering numerous obstacles and is even being called into question. This is evidenced, among other things, by the setbacks which the energy transition encounters and by the success of the party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) despite—or perhaps because of—its stance in favour of climate change denial.

China has become Africa’s leading trading partner, with an increasing presence in economic, cultural, and educational sectors, sparking debates and international rivalries. However, African research on Sino-African relations remains underdeveloped, lacking real synergy and institutional support. The 2024 FOCAC emphasized the need for a coherent African strategy and knowledge ownership to ensure a balanced engagement with China. The study aims to analyze the challenges of developing and promoting Sino-African studies, identify obstacles and opportunities, and propose forward-looking strategies. It targets researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in Sino-African cooperation. Articles (6,000 to 8,000 words) are expected by October 20, 2025, through the official website and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

Ce séminaire constitue un lieu d’échanges sur les travaux actuels concernant les transferts culturels. À chaque séance, deux chercheurs sont invités pour présenter leurs recherches et débattre de leur approche. Le cadre intellectuel est celui de l’histoire et de l’épistémologie des sciences humaines, et le fil directeur des séances, méthodologique : il s’agit de repérer les vecteurs par lesquels s’opèrent les déplacements de contenus intellectuels et culturels ainsi que de questionner les processus de resémantisation qui accompagnent ces transformations. D’une séance à l’autre, les thématiques varient : ce choix est lié au souci de tester la pertinence de l’approche en termes de transferts culturels au-delà de la diversité des objets abordés et de nouer un dialogue entre les disciplines.

Is the expression of diverse perspectives for the development of knowledge still possible in academia?
Un des questionnements importants auquel fait face l’Université aujourd’hui est celui de la liberté académique. Depuis maintenant de nombreuses années, celle-ci fait l’objet de débats, qui ont abouti au Québec à la loi 32. Ce qui est en jeu est la liberté de pensée et de conscience, mais aussi la diversité des perspectives nécessaires à l’élaboration du savoir. En même temps, on constate de plus en plus que le traditionnel clivage entre la gauche et la droite, qui nous guidait dans notre compréhension du monde, ne correspond plus à des définitions claires de ces courants politiques. On y retrouve d’un côté comme de l’autre : polarisation, autocensure et censure. Quel est leur impact sur l’élaboration universitaire du savoir ?
