Film Festivals and Middle Eastern Cinemas

“Regards” Journal

For the better part of a century, international film festivals have been essential to the global circulation of Middle Eastern cinema. Entanglements between festivals and cinema from the region date back to at least 1946, when the Egyptian film Dunia (dir. Mohammad Karim, 1946) screened at the first full edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, films from the Arab world, Iran, and Turkey have been mainstays on the festival circuit, premiering and screening at the Big Five (Berlin, Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, and Venice), as well as smaller festivals around the world.

What Can Body Cultures Do?

Ontological Pluralism in Medicine and the Humanities

This international conference asks whether the biomedical humanities can intervene in the very constitution of the phenomena they study. We propose to rethink the body as a relational entity shaped by biological, social, environmental, and existential assemblages—moving beyond traditional partitions (body/mind, nature/culture, biological/social) that structure contemporary medicine.

Framing Autonomy: Ideas and Policy Dynamics in Long-Term Care

Since the 1990s, long-term care (LTC) policies across Western countries have undergone major transformations, notably toward marketization, aging in place, and recognition of informal caregivers. Despite this convergence, the normative and ideational dimensions of these changes remain understudied. Drawing on scholarship about the role of policy ideas in welfare state reform, the workshop invites contributions on three interconnected themes : the influence of international organizations and transnational networks on policy convergence ; the impact of shifting cultural norms around gender, family, and intergenerational solidarity ; and the concept of autonomy as both a normative framework and a practical tool for comparing LTC systems.

Emergent Urbanism and Urban Futures in the Global South

The issue welcomes empirically grounded work — fieldwork, case studies, and comparative approaches — on cities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean, in dialogue with contemporary debates in urban studies, the sociology of space, and critical geography.

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?

Ageing on Contemporary European Screens: Dialogues Between Film Studies and Cultural Gerontology

Journal “Cinéma & Cie”, n°48

What transnational narrative patterns, thematic or iconographic motifs can be identified in European films that portray ageing and age-related subjects ? What role, if any, is played in this by the ‘silvering of stardom’ and ‘the silvering of audiences’ across the European region ? How can these representations be viewed in light of the specific industrial and institutional dynamics that characterise film production in Europe, including supranational funding schemes and co-production agreements ? We will prioritize contributions that focus on films released after 2010 and incorporate transnational or comparative approaches between European countries.

Embodiment

“On_Culture”, issue 21, Spring 2027

The editorial team of On_Culture, would like to draw your attention to the Call for Abstracts for Issue #21 of On_Culture (Spring 2027) on “Embodiment”. This issue foregrounds four interrelated dimensions of embodiment. It thus opens up novel vistas for revisiting the “corporeal turn” of the 1990s, this time from a contemporary cultural studies perspective, asking what relational approaches can offer interdisciplinary analyses of culture today.

Khôra

“Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities”, special issue (33.5)

This special issue of Angelaki: New Work in the Theoretical Humanities - book series invites contributions that revisit the concept of khôra, introduced in Plato’s Timaeus as a “third kind” beyond being and becoming, a matrix, a receptacle, and reinterpreted in contemporary philosophy, most notably by Derrida. Situated between presence and absence, intelligibility and materiality, khôra resists stable categorization while remaining indispensable for thinking space, inscription, and receptivity. We seek papers that engage khôra across disciplines, exploring its implications for spatial theory, media, politics, ecology, and aesthetics, as well as its limits and possible reconfigurations today.

The History of Rights, Equality and Difference(s) from a Gender Perspective

International Graduate Conference in Gender History

While gender equality has been formally recognized as a universal human rights principle, its meanings, applications, and limits have varied across historical, cultural, political, and geographical contexts. Historically, gender has played a central role in defining who could claim rights, on what grounds, and with what limitations. At the same time, claims based on gender difference have functioned both as instruments of emancipation and as mechanisms of exclusion.

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.

Decentring Europe: Doing History Otherwise, 1500-present

What does it mean to de-centre Europe in historical research? Can we write a global history, a colonial and imperial history that is not centred on European archives and European analytical categories? How might that change our histories of Europe, and the world? This 2026 edition of the EUI Department of History's summer school takes up a range of such questions as we grapple with why such a de-centring is imperative and what the stakes are for distinct kinds of scholarship.

Object History and Decolonisation Dynamics in a Comparative European Perspective

What do objects say about decolonisation processes, and how are materiality and memory entangled in this regard?
