Imaginaires sociodiscursifs dans les discours populistes
Récits, représentations et réceptions
This call for papers aims to analyze the rise of populism in the 21st century through the lens of narratives and socio-discursive imaginaries. It examines the discursive strategies through which populist actors construct symbolic oppositions, produce meaning, and mobilize public support in a context marked by multiple crises and the transformation of digital public spheres. Particular attention is paid to the central role of narratives conspiratorial, identitarian, climatic, war-related, or anti-neoliberal in struggles for cultural hegemony, as well as to their circulation, reception, and performative effects across diverse national and media contexts

Crafting Everyday Life. Art Manufactories in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
À l’occasion de la réunion de la Cité de la Céramique – Sèvres & Limoges et le Mobilier national sous l’appellation Manufactures nationales – Mobilier national & Sèvres le 1er janvier 2025, le Groupe de Recherche en Histoire de l’Art Moderne (GRHAM) a décidé d’orienter son colloque annuel sur les manufactures d’art des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Cette recomposition institutionnelle invite à relire l’histoire des manufactures, non comme un âge d’or figé, mais comme une histoire mouvante, marquée par des ruptures internes et des redéfinitions constantes des liens entre État, artistes et ouvriers.

Minority Uses of the Past and Dynamics of Power in the Americas (19th–21st Centuries)
This conference follows on from an initial meeting, which focused on the forms of uses of the past, to examine the consequences of these uses and their results, both on national history and on minorities, as well as on disciplines and their methods. Researchers from different disciplines are invited to reflect on the same subjects from the perspective of their methods: anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, historians, specialists in literary studies, cultural studies, art historians, and linguists. The following four themes may guide proposals for papers.

Ordinary justice and everyday policing in colonial context (French Empire, 18th-20th centuries)
Justice and policing are complementary instruments in the hands of a colonial administration characterised by the accumulation of judicial and executive powers in the French empire. In order to move beyond the opposition between the disciplinary approach to colonial rule centred on "indigénat" and its “coercive networks” and a social history of justice sensitive to the relationship between users and the judicial institution in a context of legal pluralism, this conference considers justice and policing as local institutions that shape everyday life and are part of actors' ordinary practices.

Exploring Complicity and Conflict in the Relations between Anarchists and Environmentalists (19th–21st Centuries)
This multidisciplinary conference aims to explore the relations between anarchism(s) and ecology(ies) from the 19th century to the present day. It seeks to fill a historiographical blind spot by examining the richness of anarchist ‘environmental reflexivity’, from precursors such as Kropotkin and Reclus to their contemporary reconfigurations. Anarchism's historical rejection of centralised power structures and the productivism of the ‘machine age’ makes it one of the political traditions most in tune with current ecological imperatives. By revisiting these affinities and tensions, the conference will offer new insights into understanding social movements fighting for environmental justice.

International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT- SAD 2026)
From May 25th to 27th, 2026, BeloHorizonte/MG - Brazil will once more be the site of the International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT-SAD). It has as its theme for this edition: “Artifices &Artefacts”. It emerges from techniques and poetics, from software and code, from manual and automated actions, but also from cultural and artistic objects—whether physical or not—born from production in the intersection of art, science, and technology. The theme of this edition reveals crossings between the analog and the digital without establishing hierarchies.

Morice Awwad: Poetry, Language, and Lebanese Culture
Morice Awwad Chair invites scholars and researchers to explore the work of Morice Awwad (1934–2018), a major figure in contemporary Lebanese poetry. Awwad forged a distinctly Lebanese aesthetic by articulating cultural heritage with the challenges of modernity—marked by fragmentation, war, exile, and linguistic tension. By asserting the singularity of “Lebanese” as a language of poetic creation, he developed a mode of being and expression situated between strong local belonging and openness to the universal.

Omens, Thresholds, and Signs of Crisis in the Historiographical Construction of the Event
In a historical moment marked by political upheavals, social crises, environmental catastrophes, wars, and new forms of collective mobilization, reflecting on the conscious choices — and the conscious non-choices — that precede moments of historical rupture becomes a useful and necessary tool for understanding the deep connection between decision and transformation.The 2026 Student Conference seeks to shift the focus away from the final event to investigate the acts that immediately precede it and to ask whether it is possible to explore, with historical awareness, the suspended moment before rupture : the moment before the last straw.

Call for papers - Political studies
The relationship between speech and politics is experiencing renewed interest today. Since Foucault, political theory has examined the scope of “speaking truth” as a form of resistance, most recently illustrated by the unleashing of speech in the #MeToo movement. In the age of social media, speech proves deeply ambivalent : it can wound just as much as it can help build a shared world. Theories of recognition remind us that democracy requires all voices to be heard, a condition still far from being fulfilled.

The International Forum On Democracy And Public Decision
Que signifie encore la démocratie ? Une forme républicaine de l’État, une gouvernance représentative, une croyance en l’égalité politique ? Un processus décisionnel appuyé et revisité par de garanties de respect des libertés individuelles ? Que saurait-on répondre à ceux qui affirment, décomplexés, que cela n’existe plus ? Qu’en réalité, sa pratique n’a jamais été à la hauteur des grands dessins des théoriciens les plus inspirés du bien commun ?

From the “Far East” to the “Indo-Pacific”
Crises, Conflicts, and Peace Processes in the Asia-Pacific (20th–21st Centuries)
Si l’histoire des relations internationales a d’emblée placé la guerre et de la paix au cœur de ses analyses, le déséquilibre demeure flagrant entre les études consacrées aux conflits armés, et celles plus discrètes relatives aux processus de paix. Une place particulière sera donc réservée aux acteurs et modalités des négociations ; à la mémoire de ces négociations, de leurs succès comme de leurs échecs, au rôle des organisations internationales ou régionales dans les sorties de guerre, aux conceptions proprement asiatiques de la paix, de la sécurité et du pacifisme, dont la dimension asiatique n’est guère abordée en dehors du Japon.

Geneva
This workshop, held at the University of Geneva on 16 June 2026, aims to foster reflection on the languages of student mobility from the nineteenth century to the present, through a historical perspective that has so far been little explored. In order to launch a historical reflection while remaining open to interdisciplinarity, the event will examine the tools and methods of language learning, as well as the actors involved in it, the learning environments, and the diplomatic stakes tied to the language of study.
