Environnement et écologie sur les réseaux socionumériques : récits, acteurs et dynamiques

Environment and ecology on social media: narratives, actors and dynamics

Le colloque propose d’interroger la manière dont les espaces numériques participent à la construction des représentations sociales relatives au changement climatique et aux transitions environnementales. Il s’agira d’examiner à la fois les contenus publiés et les logiques socio-techniques qui structurent leur production, leur circulation et leur hiérarchisation, ainsi que leurs modalités d’appropriation par les communautés en ligne.

Anarchist Spaces: Practices, Ideas, and Networks (c. 1870–Present)

This conference proposes to examine the spaces that self-avowed anarchists, as well as those who borrow from anarchism but do not identify with the ideology, have invested, produced and contested since the second half of the 19th century. The concept of “space” should be understood capaciously. It can be material and immaterial, ideological or symbolic, permanent or temporary, integrated or liminal, open or closed, real or imagined. Likewise, “anarchism” is to be understood broadly. For the purposes of this conference, anarchist spaces are not only those linked to a self-identified anarchist movement (in all its multiplicities). They also include spaces that may rather be seen (or see themselves) as autonomous, self-managed or anti-authoritarian, but which embody anarchism more or less implicitly through their day-to-day, activist, and revolutionary practices.

Thinking from the Dual – Ontology, Theology and the Humanities through the Lens of the “Muthannā”

This international conference explores the philosophical and theological implications of the Arabic grammatical dual (al-muthannā). Situated between the paradigms of unity and multiplicity that have long structured philosophical thought, the dual offers a distinctive relational structure in which two terms are held together without fusion or hierarchy. Taking this linguistic form as a conceptual starting point, the conference investigates the possibility of thinking relation itself as originary. Particular attention will be given to the concept of ʿahd (covenant, pact, commitment) as a relational event in Islamic theology and beyond. Bringing together philosophers, theologians, and scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the conference seeks to open a field of inquiry devoted to the ontological, theological, and anthropological significance of the dual in contemporary thought.

Reflecting on the richness of poor cinemas around the world in the 21st century

This symposium aims to put into global perspective the aesthetic and economic issues as well as the analysis of the creative and distribution processes that were at the heart of the study days devoted to low-budget cinema in France, which took place in 2024. Without romanticising the lack of resources, how can we define the theoretical, practical, political, economic and aesthetic contours of these ‘poor cinemas’ in a contemporary international context? What specific filmmaking processes ensure its existence? What original film forms emerge from it? What parallel distribution channels do these films require to be created and defended?

Calligraphies at the Frontiers of the Islamicate World: Practices, Circulations, and Appropriations

This conference marks the conclusion of the research programme CallFront, dedicated to the study of Arabic-script calligraphy at the frontiers of the Islamic world. It will explore several themes central to the project, including the evolution of styles, the transmission of knowledge and calligraphic practices, as well as the symbolic and spiritual dimensions of certain uses of writing. The event will also highlight the programme’s achievements, with a round table devoted to the contribution of digital tools to the analysis of scripts, a presentation of the publications produced within the framework of the project, and the screening of a film based on fieldwork missions, offering an immersive insight into the practices under study.

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.

Playing with uncertainty, gambling with crises

The rise of Gambling, mechanisms and consequences

This session aims to analyse the rise of gambling in Africa as a major social, economic, and territorial phenomenon. It will examine the reconfiguration of gambling spaces linked to digitalisation, as well as the role of betting in a context shaped by precarity and uncertainty as experienced by urban youth. Through several papers and a roundtable discussion devoted to the Senegalese case, the session will highlight the global circulations and North–South asymmetries that structure this rapidly expanding industry.

Policing the Mobility of 'Undesirables' (1870-1923)

Powder, People, Papers

This study day aims to facilitate conversations across borders. Specifically, we hope to bring together various fields – Border Studies, Refugee Studies, Mobility and Surveillance Studies – in order to investigate border control processes and experiences during the period (1870–1923) and to facilitate meaningful conversations with those studying the present. Taking onboard the statement by French anthropologist Michel Agier in La Condition cosmopolite that ‘seen from the border, the world also looks different’, organisers would like to advance an encompassing view of border experiences.

(Re)Thinking the Role of Religion in Social and Humanitarian Action: Preaching in a Transnational Approach

This workshop seeks to explore the links between preaching and socio-humanitarian action in the contemporary Middle East. Contexts of social and humanitarian crises appear as privileged sites for understanding this constitutive device of faith experiences, beyond the sole framework of the sermon or religious discourse. The chosen approach is deliberately cross-cutting: it brings Islam, Judaism, and Christianity into dialogue, while situating the Middle East within a global perspective. How does preaching accompany and shape social and humanitarian action? In what forms and according to which modalities does it unfold? How does it influence the understanding and implementation of aid?

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.

Economy of leftovers and recycling

Social, political and environmental dynamics in the Global South

Economies built around waste – rubbish, unsold goods, surplus, scrap, used materials – are becoming increasingly important in the Global South. This issue therefore aims to examine these forms of economic activity from three main perspectives: environmental, socio-economic and political. The objective is to bring together empirical and theoretical work that documents, compares and problematises these waste economies based on surveys conducted in Southern countries, while taking into account the circulation and cross-influences with Northern countries. These ‘waste products’ can take various forms, which the issue intends to consider in an open and pluralistic perspective.

Palestine : disqualification, invisibilisation, négation

L’ambition de ce numéro est de proposer une théorie de la disqualification des revendications politiques historiques des Palestinien·nes. Par cela, nous entendons le dévoilement des mécanismes qui permettent de discréditer, d’invisibiliser ou nier l’acteur palestinien ou de marginaliser ses revendications politiques. L’objectif est de déconstruire l’idée d’une prétendue complexité du « conflit » qui opposerait deux acteurs aux prétentions symétriques pour restituer l’asymétrie, la contrainte et le travestissement propre à cette situation coloniale. En restituant les formes de la domination, ce numéro espère aussi rendre compte des formes de résistance qu’elles produisent. Cet appel à contributions invite les spécialistes de différentes disciplines à entreprendre cette révision critique autour de trois domaines spécifiques – mais non exclusifs – des médias, du droit et du politique à travers des analyses historiques aussi bien que sur des processus en cours.

Urban Metamorphoses: Socio-Spatial Dynamics in Arab Cities

Revue « EchoGéo »

Since the beginning of the 20^th century, the Arab world has undergone rapid urbanization. Today, global cities in the region such as Doha and Dubai have themselves become exporters of new urban paradigms to the wider Arab world and beyond. This issue of EchoGéo aims to explore these urban metamorphoses through a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, connecting dynamics across North Africa and the Middle East, and to bridge three elements: understanding the forces that deeply transform Arab cities, examining how they unfold in concrete places, and giving full attention to the resistances, detours, and inventions that redraw urban life.

The New History of the Age of Gunpowder in Asia

The aim of this issue of Bellica is to bring together articles exploring the new history of the “age of gunpowder” in Asia from the 10^th century to the present. By studying the origins, evolution, uses, and consequences of firearms in Asia over the last millennium, this collection of articles aims to highlight the recent opening-up of military history to the non-Western world, without denying the West’s importance.
