« Condition humaine / conditions politiques », Revue internationale d’anthropologie du politique
This special issue of Condition humaine / Conditions politiques is grounded in a shared observation : for several years now, a body of anthropological research—often described as “anarchist”, though not forming a homogeneous current—has contributed to a common shift in perspective. Speaking of “anarchist anthropologies” is therefore not an attempt to establish a new school or to stabilize a doctrinal definition of anarchism, but rather to open a pluralistic space for discussion around research practices that concretely experiment with forms of non-domination, autonomy, and coexistence.

Telling the World in Images during the Renaissance
Organisées sous les auspices du CNRS/Centre André Chastel, de l’université Grenoble Alpes / LARHRA et de la Villa Médicis, ces journées constituent un pivot du projet Spectacles célestes, déployé au sein de la chaire de professeur junior ARVIGRAPH. Nous y sonderons les modalités par lesquelles les images édifient et énoncent le cosmos dans ses dimensions symboliques, sociales et esthétiques.

Ce colloque propose d’explorer, dans une perspective diachronique, la manière dont l’épistolaire ne reflète pas simplement le politique mais contribue à le produire. Il réunira des spécialistes et des jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses afin de mettre en lumière la place de la lettre comme genre discursif majeur dans l’histoire des idées et des luttes politiques.

Phraseological Universals in Natural Languages
Revue « Neophilologica », n° 38
The study of linguistic universals, closely tied to linguistic typology, seeks to identify features shared across natural languages despite their diversity. These universals — traditionally classified as phono-logical, grammatical, semantic, and symbolic — aim to formalize the invariants of human language, often in connection with cognition and perception. While linguistic typol-ogy focuses on differences between languages, the study of universals defines their con-straints, delineating the boundaries of possible variation.

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 ?

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.

Les phénomènes d’autodéfense et plus largement les pratiques de sécurité privée ont fait l’objet d’un regain d’intérêt au sein des sciences sociales durant ces dernières décennies. Cette journée d’étude propose un dialogue entre les historiographies française et italienne, qui ont toutes deux longtemps éclipsé l’importance des formes privées de sécurité au sein de pays réputés pour leur modèle étatique centralisé par rapport à la littérature anglophone, plus familière de l’histoire de l’autodéfense.

Scandal in Italian Society (1350-1530): norms, transgressions, and representations
Cahiers d’études italiennes
This thematic issue of Cahiers d’études italiennes aims to examine both the polysemy and social functions of scandal in Italy in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (1350-1530), combining approaches from history, literature, art history, political philosophy, and law. Contributions will focus primarily on Italian society, but contributions addressing cases of scandal related to Italy or Italian personalities are also welcome.

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Auteur hybride et poétiques de l’algorithme
Écritures et créativité dans l’Italie contemporaine
L’évolution des technologies numériques et de l’intelligence artificielle générative transforme profondément l’écosystème culturel italien, où les pratiques artistiques et littéraires intègrent de plus en plus des logiques transmédiales, algorithmiques et réticulaires. Cette convergence entre humain, machine et plateformes fait émerger de nouvelles figures comme « l’auteur hybride » et le « lecteur hybride », remettant en question la créativité, l’intentionnalité et la responsabilité dans l’acte artistique. La technologie n’est plus seulement un support, mais un véritable agent qui modifie des catégories fondamentales telles que auteur, œuvre et lecture, ouvrant ainsi des scénarios inédits pour la critique et la production contemporaines.

Pia Pera: An Archipelago of Writings
Ten years after the death of the writer Pia Pera (1956–2016), the aim of this full-day workshop is to explore her entire body of work in depth for the first time. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to restore the diversity of her writing and highlight its place in the Italian literary landscape. Her work anticipated issues that we consider essential today, and she was a complex, protean and unique figure.

Au cours de l’histoire, la figure de saint François d’Assise a connu en France des fortunes diverses. Au XIIIᵉ siècle, lors de la querelle entre réguliers et séculiers, les frères mineurs surent s’imposer dans les universités et occupèrent d’importantes chaires de théologie à la Faculté de Paris. Si saint François est, en Italie, à l’origine d’une nouvelle langue poétique et d’un nouveau langage figuratif, quel est son héritage linguistique et poétique, mais aussi spirituel et philosophique, en France ?

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills
What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?
In L’économie du XXe siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

La journée d'étude « Gastronomie, langage et marketing : discours de marque et communication sociale dans l’agroalimentaire » vise à explorer les interactions entre la linguistique, le marketing et la communication sociale pour analyser comment le discours gastronomique façonne les identités, influence les comportements des consommateurs et se laisse façonner par ces derniers. Le colloque part du principe que les pratiques culinaires sont devenues une forme de communication complexe, porteuse de significations culturelles, économiques et identitaires.

Diplomatic Gifts in the Modern and Contemporary Eras
Definitions, Changes, and Patrimonialisation on a Global Scale
Considering the long history of diplomatic relations, the conference aims above all to fully analyse the evolving agency of gifts, from the strengthening of princely dynastic alliances to the consolidation of nation states, as well as the way in which the objects offered construct and potentially reconfigure links. How do these objects fit into a policy of gift-giving, whether serial or renewed over time? According to what rituals must these witnesses, which seal the agreement, themselves reactivate the alliance (counter-gift, reconnection journey, etc.)? How are they perceived and understood a few years after they were offered, and when they become part of discourses on patrimonialisation, especially in places dedicated to their collective conservation, which are themselves, in turn, active tools?

Actors and representations of the safeguard of nature in mountain areas: a global perspective (late 18th – early 21st century)
The aim of this international scientific conference is to examine the progressive integration of the environmental protection theme into the several mountain ranges of the Earth, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 21st century, concluding in 2022, the International Year of Mountains. By selecting a global perspective, it encourages a decentring of observation points, which in turn brings to light not only the diversity of trajectories but also the possible (direct or indirect) circulation of knowledge, materials, practices and individuals in the different mountain ranges.

The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.
