Boundaries and Belonging in Central Africa and Beyond
At this conference, we seek to highlight questions around the nature of boundaries in Central Africa and beyond - whether that means physical, political, and communal boundaries or disciplinary boundaries. How do boundaries function in the past and present within the region and in its relationships with the rest of the continent? What might it look like to build more effective bridges across boundaries to address the pressing political, economic, and social issues in Central Africa and its diasporas?

In the light of diversity: art, culture, public policy and the digital world
The 2nd International Seminar will focus particularly on culture and diversity, as well as the ways in which the principles of equality are being undermined. The title refers directly to Martin Luther King’s vision of true equality, as expressed in his famous 1963 speech, ‘I Have a Dream’, which called for an end to racial discrimination, by choosing the words and wishes of union. The research highlights the importance of combatting xenophobia and hate speech directed at migrants, refugees, the Romani-Gypsy community, and cultural minorities.

For an experiential and sensorial approach to spaces
This international colloquium explores how ambiances—light, wind, humidity, sound, temperature—shape the experience of island spaces and the relationships between communities, territories, and built environments. It is structured around five themes : sensorial architectures, digital sensing, geo-sensitive approaches, knowledge and skills, and arts and ambiances.

Conference, symposium - History
This international conference examines the history of confinements through the lens of their materiality. Indeed, confinement is defined by walls that separate individuals from society. Beyond the mere walls, daily interactions between confined individuals, institutional authorities, and staff are largely paved and defined by a variety of things : food, water, books, graffiti, clothes, money, letters, official registers, medicine, punishment objects, etc. In this regard, and drawing on the material turn in history since the early 2000s, things – whether “tangible” things physically available to historians or “textual” things described in written sources – might offer an additional perspective on the history of confinements more broadly, especially when addressing forms of “prison before the prison”.

Birmingham
Universities and Society at the End of Empire and Beyond (UniSoc)
Based upon an academic partnership between the Universities of Birmingham in the UK and Leiden in the Netherlands, Universities and Society at the End of Empire and Beyond (UniSoc) uses these two global seats of learning as a starting point to examine the role of universities in the transition from colonial to postcolonial and multicultural societies over the past century. Both institutions have started to reflect critically on this legacy. Building on these initiatives, and on the emerging scholarship on universities in (post) colonial contexts, UniSoc asks how the remit and modus operandi of European universities evolved in the aftermath of empire, opening a neglected entry-point into the wider question of the interplay between the colonial past and the post-colonial present.

Humanités numériques et défis de l’émergence africaine
Ce colloque sur les humanités numériques en Afrique est un cadre d'échanges qui, au-delà des perspectives interdisciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires, se veut une occasion d'échanges en vue de creuser les limites imposées par le numérique et les sciences sociales. Dans une approche inclusive, il s'agit de montrer en quoi la dématérialisation et la démocratisation de l'information s'érigent en des questions épistémologiques sur le numérique, sur le modèle d’éducation et de culture dans une Afrique en plein essor. Les discussions porteront essentiellement sur le numérique, les lettres, les arts, la pédagogie, la recherche, les sciences sociales et l’émergence de l’Afrique.

Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence in African Studies
Towards Sustainable and Equitable Practices
The integration of digital humanities (DH) and artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the production of knowledge in African Studies, offering new opportunities for innovative analysis, dynamic visualisation and cross-cultural research. Yet this shift raises urgent questions regarding equitable access, the representation of African languages, and the suitability of methodologies. Current large language models underrepresent African languages, digital scholarly infrastructures remain optimised for English, and digitisation pipelines that produce AI-ready data are themselves shaped by political choices about what to digitise, how to describe it, and who controls access.

Memory Processes in Imperial Lifeworlds
Object History and Decolonisation Dynamics in a Comparative European Perspective

Rethinking Innocent IV and the Crusades: A Multidisciplinary Inquiry
“Rethinking Innocent IV and the Crusades” seeks to reassess the pontificate of Innocent IV (1243–1254) through a sustained examination of his engagement with the crusading movement. We are pleased to invite proposals for 20-minute papers exploring all aspects of the relationship between the pontificate of Innocent IV and the crusading movement. We particularly welcome contributions that adopt interdisciplinary approaches, including (but not limited to) history, legal history, theology, manuscript studies, political thought and institutional history. Particular attention will be moreover giving the proposals concerning the history of heresy and heretical communities during Innocent’s pontificate, the relationship with the Mendicant Orders, with the Mongol World, the promotion and the business of the cross in Italy.

Translating Comics: Between Bubbles, Cultures, and Constraints in East Asia
The conference examines the challenges of comic translation at the intersection of literature, visual semiotics, and culture. It addresses difficulties posed by spatial text layout, as well as translating humor, puns, cultural references, and typographic effects. Editorial norms and censorship across different cultural contexts are also considered. The focus is on translations to or from Asian languages, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (manhua, manga, manhwa). Issues of adaptation, localization, and graphic constraints, along with the roles of editors and translators, will be discussed. Case studies of published or ongoing translations will illustrate these challenges.

Imagining a Future (inside/outside) Britain
S’inscrivant dans la perspective du champ interdisciplinaire des études sur le futur, et plus spécifiquement des études critiques sur le futur, ce colloque propose d’étudier la façon dont le futur du Royaume-Uni et des nations qui le composent a été imaginé à travers les périodes, sur des modes fictionnels et non-fictionnels. Nous nous intéresserons à la fois aux représentations du futur du Royaume-Uni dans son ensemble (le futur de l’État, de la société et de l’Union britanniques), et aux représentations du futur des différents territoires constitutifs du Royaume-Uni soit au sein de l’Union et de l’Empire, soit au contraire hors de ceux-ci.

Dream Balloons in China and Japan
Between the seventeenth and early twentieth centuries, dream representations in China and Japan made extensive use of speech balloons. Typically, a character has a dream that is represented within a balloon. This international one-day symposium is the second event organized within the Histoires de bulles program which aims to study the speech balloon as an object of knowledge, both in terms of its intrinsic characteristics and its visual and broader cultural ecosystem, with the ultimate goal of identifying an “economy of the balloon” and perhaps even sketching the outlines of a general theory.

We propose this session to bring together researchers examining women’s craft practices and to deepen our understanding of their identities and agency through the materiality of these activities. Materiality is understood here as encompassing artefacts and gestures: thus tools, waste, but also workspaces, as well as traces on objects and traces on human remains (work-related illnesses, for example). The purpose of this session is to review the current state of research on this topic, share questions, difficulties, and advances.
