    Rethinking Europe Japan Relations 1868 1913

    An Interdisciplinary Unconference

    This unconference invites participants to collaboratively explore Europe–Japan relations between 1868 and 1913 – a transformative period spanning the Meiji era and the lead-up to the First World War. Rather than a traditional conference, this event emphasizes dialogue, exchange, and co-creation of ideas. We especially encourage contributions that challenge established narratives, introduce new perspectives, or explore underexamined bilateral connections across Europe and Japan.

    Dancing Women, Idolatry, and Rites: Visual Culture and Cultural History of Dance in the Long Middle Ages

    MuDanza’s anthropological approach to the image, along with iconographic analyses of the context in which the dances developed, aids in the investigation of the visual culture of the period under study, while a gender perspective allows for the reconstruction of the image of women as a central element of medieval choreographic narrative. The study unfolds within the field of cultural history and the visual culture of dance in medieval Europe and its enduring influences, aiming to provide a novel perspective on the role of women as dancing bodies, as typological figures in biblical exegesis.

    Artworks and the meaningful connections among their parts

    As an increasing number of studies are demonstrating with growing clarity, the analysis of certain aspects - or more precisely, components - of paintings through the lens of their materiality can reveal crucial insights into the artwork itself. These include not only the materials in the strict sense, such as canvas, wood, or nails, but also their composition as a whole, understood as a unified entity, essential to the artwork.

    In her own words

    the many forms in which women played with writing between the Middle Ages and the early modern period

    The organisers of the workshop propose an occasion for reflection and dialogue on the literary and non-literary works of women authors from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, with the intention of welcoming original and unpublished papers that can contribute to enriching current knowledge and advance research on the themes, modes and forms of women's writing. There will be a focus on lesser-known figures and contributions related to the activity of as yet not-famous women.

    Les marchés de l’érotisme galant (1650-1720)

    Ce colloque se propose d’explorer l’émergence, à partir de la seconde moitié du XVIIᵉ siècle en France, d’un nouveau marché de l’érotisme, en lien avec le développement de la galanterie, entendue ici comme un idéal de sociabilité érigé sur des valeurs telles que le raffinement, l’enjouement et l’égalité entre les sexes. À partir de supports variés – qu’il s’agisse de textes, d’images, de gravures ou de musique – les participant·e·s seront invité·e·s à interroger non seulement les représentations renouvelées qui caractérisent ce nouvel érotisme, mais aussi à en examiner les conditions de production, de diffusion et de réception, en France et, plus largement, à l’échelle européenne.

    Animal Behaviour and Environments: Ecological Perspectives from Antiquity to the Present

    This conference aims, through a resolutely interdisciplinary approach, to explore the relations between animals and their environments. Bringing together scholars in ancient and medieval philology, the history of zoological knowledge, and contemporary ecological sciences, the event seeks to examine how living beings interact with their surroundings—and how these interactions have been conceptualised, described, and modelled from Antiquity to the present. Two main thematic axes will structure the discussion: 1. Animals and Environments: Ancient and Modern Ecologies; 2. Animal Ecological Awareness: Perception, Umwelt, and Narrative Models

    Queer Ecologies Across Socialisms

    Queer Ecologies Across State Socialisms brings queer ecology into dialogue with the cultural, institutional, and environmental histories of global state socialist worlds. The conference asks how ideas of “nature” and sexuality were co-produced across bodies, policies, infrastructures, and landscapes - and how queer attachments and ecological critique emerged within socialist modernities. We invite academic and artistic work that rethinks socialist environmental governance beyond catastrophe narratives and traces alternative imaginaries of care, coexistence, and solidarity across more-than-human worlds.

    Domesticating Irish nature : past and contemporary approaches and practices

    This international colloquium held in Grenoble, combining workshops, roundtables in addition to thematic panels, therefore also invites contributions that explore the representations at stake when the environmental history and prospective future of Ireland are involved. This exploration may be achieved through the intersecting lenses of ecocide, resource exploitation, and ecological resistance or use of nature as a place allowing for an escape from the usual modern globalized ultraliberal capitalistic rat race. We seek interdisciplinary interventions—historical, literary, legal, political, ecological, artistic—that investigate how nature in Ireland has been used, abused, and reclaimed in the face of economic pressures and environmental degradation.

    Sociability and the Travelling Letter

    Message, Medium, Mobility in Europe and the Colonies in the Long Eighteenth Century (1650-1850)

    The long eighteenth century is widely recognisedby scholars as a golden age of letter writing, characterised by the expansion of transnational and transatlantic correspondence networks among the elites. Particularly in Britain, this period witnessed an unprecedented enthusiasm for epistolary exchange, which led to a proliferation of publications—ranging from scholarly productions such as theoretical treatises and letter-writing manuals, to literary works, whether fictional, sentimental, general, or biographical. These developments contributed to a redefinition of epistolary conventions, narrative models, and often gendered representations of letter writing.

    Derrière le voile de l’anonymat : enjeux éthiques et récits culturels à l’ère de l’innovation numérique

    At first glance, the concept of “anonymity” may seem simple: any actor who acts without revealing their identity is acting anonymously. However, this superficial simplicity hides considerable technological, social, and political complexity. What conditions make anonymity necessary for expression, cooperation, and judgment? The cultural, ethical, and narrative dimensions of “anonymity” in contemporary digital environments affect both administrative and creative life. With a perspective that combines the techniques of law with those of sociology, politicalscience, cultural studies, and narratology, this project seeks to uncover the cultural transformations that underpin “anonymity’ in practice, through its new or emerging instruments and narrative features.

    The year 2025 marks the 500th anniversary of Michel Sittow’s death in his hometown of Reval (now Tallinn).

The seminar aims to explore the international visual and political contexts surrounding Sittow in order to better understand his experiences within the artistic production and visual culture of late fifteenth- and early sixteenth-century Europe.

    Humanism and Nature: Paradoxical and Heterodox Paths

    From the 21st Century to the Renaissance

    We firstly aim to examine the criticisms levelled at the idea of humanism in recent decades, in particular from the ‘environmentalism’ viewpoint, without neglecting the possible dialogue between humanism and environmentalist perspectives. We propose, in particular, to investigate tensions and paradoxes within humanistic projects, which emerge when their rhetorical and conceptual tools are used to realise a decentralisation of perspective, dethroning the human subject from its self-proclaimed and presumed centrality in the cosmos, in order to look at man/woman from the point of view of the animal or even to rethink her/him in a plural space of living beings and non-living entities.
