To celebrate the centenary of the Prague Linguistic Circle, an international conference is being held at INALCO. Focusing on the relationships between language, norm and society, the conference will build on the Prague theoretical tradition while engaging with contemporary research in sociolinguistics, glottopolitics, language teaching, language contact, variation and typology. The aim is to examine how these notions have evolved since their initial formulation, and to evaluate their continued relevance in the context of contemporary linguistic studies.

The Most Important of All Ages. Children, Childhood(s) and Childlikeness in Soviet Cinema
The profound symbolic significance of the figure of the child in Soviet cinema has elevated it to a central—if not essential—principle of that cinematic tradition. Such a dimension calls for a sustained and renewed examination of the occurrences and variations of this figure, in order to further map its historical, ideological, mythopoetic, poetic, and philosophical metamorphoses within the Soviet filmic space. Our inquiry will address both the “childlike principle” that permeates characters in Soviet cinema and the representation of childhood itself—its defining features and substance, its cultural plurality, its departure or loss, its mediation through memory, its nostalgia—as well as the historical biases that shape its conception and delimit its perception.

The West-African Digital Transformations Forum
Digitalization is a major strategic stake for African economies, yet the extent to which digital development interventions have been successful and their role in shaping social, economic, and political transformations remains unclear. West Africa, in particular, offers a rich setting that remains insufficiently documented, calling for strengthened research efforts to inform debates and policies on digitalization and development.

A Summer School for the Study of Women and Temporalities in Early Modern Europe
The goal of this summer school is to help doctoral students develop an interdisciplinary reflection on the intersection between gender and time in the early-modern period. With the help of invited keynote speakers, workshops around secondary literature, primary written and visual sources (notably from the Palais des Beaux-Arts’s collections), and discussions around the candidates’ research, we aim to foster interest in this framework and complexify approaches to gender studies and key themes such as the question of agency or the inscription of women in history.

Anarchist Spaces: Practices, Ideas, and Networks (c. 1870–Present)
This conference proposes to examine the spaces that self-avowed anarchists, as well as those who borrow from anarchism but do not identify with the ideology, have invested, produced and contested since the second half of the 19th century. The concept of “space” should be understood capaciously. It can be material and immaterial, ideological or symbolic, permanent or temporary, integrated or liminal, open or closed, real or imagined. Likewise, “anarchism” is to be understood broadly. For the purposes of this conference, anarchist spaces are not only those linked to a self-identified anarchist movement (in all its multiplicities). They also include spaces that may rather be seen (or see themselves) as autonomous, self-managed or anti-authoritarian, but which embody anarchism more or less implicitly through their day-to-day, activist, and revolutionary practices.

Desktop Films: Forms, Uses, Circulations
This conference stems from an interest in an emerging form of filmmaking, the desktop film or screen film, arising from the convergence of two related phenomena: the exponential acceleration in the circulation of moving images enabled by digitization and the development of Web 2.0, and the evolutions in audiovisual and media creation that incorporate digital aesthetics and practices into their modes of operation. Positioning ourselves within the field of post-media studies initiated by Lev Manovich in 2001, and more specifically within what is now referred to as the field of “post-cinema”, this conference seeks to foster a resolutely interdisciplinary reflection (Art Studies, Film and Audiovisual Studies, Information and Communication Sciences, Cognitive Sciences, Anthropology, Narratology, etc.) structured around the following axes: semiotic and multimodal approaches; narrative and discursive approaches; actors and Networks; archaeology of the Desktop Film.

Thinking from the Dual – Ontology, Theology and the Humanities through the Lens of the “Muthannā”
This international conference explores the philosophical and theological implications of the Arabic grammatical dual (al-muthannā). Situated between the paradigms of unity and multiplicity that have long structured philosophical thought, the dual offers a distinctive relational structure in which two terms are held together without fusion or hierarchy. Taking this linguistic form as a conceptual starting point, the conference investigates the possibility of thinking relation itself as originary. Particular attention will be given to the concept of ʿahd (covenant, pact, commitment) as a relational event in Islamic theology and beyond. Bringing together philosophers, theologians, and scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the conference seeks to open a field of inquiry devoted to the ontological, theological, and anthropological significance of the dual in contemporary thought.

La fabrique de l’histoire dans les arts à Venise : récits, propagande et contre-récits
XXIXe séminaire d’histoire de l’art vénitien
Qui écrit, dans les arts, l’histoire, selon quelles sélections et omissions, pour qui et à quelle fin ? Comment la production artistique dans l’espace public a-t-elle célébré les grands hommes et les femmes illustres, les génies artistiques, ou bien parfois effacé volontairement les mémoires ? Comment enfin s’élaborent dans les arts les contre-récits à Venise ?

Following a first conference held at Cerisy in 2024 on social domination in Normandy (11th–15th centuries), this new conference aims to analyse how human intermediaries contribute to maintaining various forms of domination – whether seigniorial, princely, ecclesiastical, or urban. Situated between dependence and delegated authority, they play a central role in the concrete exercise of power, but also in the production and legitimation of social order. Through their actions and behaviours, these intermediaries shape or impose this state of affairs and help populations to agree to this domination.

Work, Health, and Environment between Knowledge and Power (19th–21st Centuries)
This conference seeks to be a multidisciplinary forum (history, sociology, geography, medicine, anthropology, etc.) devoted to analysing the knowledge, practices, and repertoires of action arising from these mobilisations. It welcomes diverse historical and geographical contexts, especially beyond countries of early industrialisation, to document and map past and present struggles against harmfulness.

Ce que le groupe fait à la photographie : groupements, réseaux, collectifs
How groups shape photography: groups, networks, collectives
The practice of photography, which arises from the encounter between an eye and a camera, is often perceived as an individual exercise. This monocular vision, indebted to the myth of the photographer’s genius, is exemplified by figures such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, known as “the eye of the century.” Beyond this mythification—often instrumental in the construction of Art History—, photography must now be reconsidered as a set of relational practices, shaped by dynamics of collaboration, exchange, and circulation of images, techniques, and knowledge. The aim of this conference is therefore to reassess both official and informal collective structures that have made photography possible.

Dante contemporaneo nella World Literature
Nell’ambito del progetto Dante World Writer ? (université de Lorraine, in collaborazione con le università di Strasburgo, Bologna e Verona) la giornata di studi Our brother Dante (Verona, 28 ottobre 2026) si interesserà al rimodellamento dell’immagine di Dante all’interno delle letterature mondiali (lontano dall’Italia), che compensa la distanza geografica con un avvicinamento se non un’annessione storica. Il Dante ‘fratello’ è una variante del Dante pop : implica lo sguardo destoricizzato del postmoderno, ma si situa all’interno del campo letterario e contribuisce a ridefinirlo, poiché solo un ‘certo tipo’ di letteratura si presta ad accogliere questo Dante ‘aggiornato’.
