    From America to France: Beaumarchais and the experience of Revolution

    In 2026, as the United States celebrates 250 years of independence and takes an increasing aggressive stance toward Europe, the Museum of the French Revolution – Domaine de Vizille and the LUHCIE laboratory at Grenoble Alpes University are organizing an international symposium aimed at rethinking the revolutionary origins of Franco-American relations through the figure and writings of Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799). This reinterpretation has been made possible by the recent acquisition by the Bibliothèque nationale de France of Beaumarchais' voluminous personal archives, as well as by the unprecedented digital publication of his entire surviving correspondence and manuscripts, undertaken as part of the collective and interdisciplinary program @rchibeau (2024-2029).

    Le travail im/mobile : circulations, dépendance et droits des travailleuses et travailleurs subalternes

    Revue « Sociologie du travail »

    This special issue of Sociologie du travail examines how subaltern workers are affected by im/mobility, understood as the multiple spatio-temporal assemblages that simultaneously constrain and delimit their movement and mobility practices. The aim is to rethink work as the product of a tension between the mobilisation of labour, the restriction of workers’ movements, and the agency of workers themselves. Mobility and its corollary, immobility, are thus conceived as a battlefield on which logics of coercion, control, mobilisation, and engagement confront and are reconfigured alongside the aspirations to autonomy of the most vulnerable workers.

    Paysages sentinelles et arts du refuge

    Sentinel Landscapes and the Arts of Refuge

    The interdisciplinary research field emerging from ecological humanities depicts a situation in which the ontology of our relationship with nature is being disrupted, altered by the intrusion of new entities and phenomena, and by the resulting change in human modes of perception and action. In particular, the distortions of scale and temporality implied by the notion of the Anthropocene – which are taking shape in the territories of the critical zone –, are eroding our entire relationship with the world. Numerous investigations have thus focused on the now inextricable intertwining of the geological and the historical, the non-human and the human. With regard to the already abundant literature on the Anthropocene, this conference aims to bring together studies, creations, and perspectives around the concept of the “sentinel landscape,” instructing a semiotics of low-noise catastrophe.

    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

    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.

    The Social Life of Names and Naming Practices in the Context of Migration

    Names are not mere labels but powerful tools through which people assert identity, are categorised, and negotiate relationships with states, institutions and communities. Whether they refer to people, places or businesses, names do things : they index belonging and difference, tell stories, record histories of mobility and settlement, and mediate social interaction. This topical collection uses names and naming practices to trace the reconfigurations that accompany migration.

    Punk (1976-2026). Memories and Commemorations of a Transmedial Culture

    Ce colloque bilingue (français et anglais), qui se déroulera du 24 au 26 novembre 2026, prend pour point de départ les 50 ans de « Anarchy in the UK », pour réfléchir sur la mémoire et la commémoration du punk, entendu ici comme un phénomène transnational et transmédiatique. Quelle configuration pour la nostalgie du no future ? Et quelle postérité pour un mouvement si ancré dans le DIY et l’analogique, au sein d’une société où la culture numérique est devenue dominante ?

    Social Network Analysis: Addressing Social Inequalities

    Revue « Recherches sociologiques et anthropologiques », numéro spécial

    These issues of homophily, diffusion, selection, and influence, at the level of both nodes and ties, clearly demonstrate their effects on access to socially valued goods. Network analysis also enables the description of the many social transactions that shape organizations, highlighting complex and nuanced distributions of power that go beyond formal categories and hierarchical positions. In this issue of Recherches sociologiques et anthropologiques, we propose to gather contributions that apply social network analysis to the study of inequalities, with the aim of examining how this approach can contribute to existing work and potentially offer new perspectives.

    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.
