Conference Transmission and learning.
How do children engage in ritualised daily practices and rituals?
This interdisciplinary conference addresses the processes and experiences oftransmission and learning of knowledge and competences to and by children, withoutpresuming a priori the limits of childhood. The central question that will guide thediscussions concerns the ways in which ritualised contexts – secular or religious – providea vehicle for the integration and transformation of knowledge, ways of thinking, normsand values, skills and attitudes within various socialising frameworks. The conference willtherefore contribute to the debates on the conditions for the perpetuation and change ofsocial practices in general, and (co)educational practices in particular, in different regionsof the world and in different eras.

Migration to and through Nord Africa
L’objet de ce colloque international est de brosser un tableau qui se veut un rétrospectif général des sciences sociales et humaines, restituant et situant la question migratoire maghrébine et nord-africaine dans son contexte général en rapport avec la dimension européenne qui reste incontournable. Il est important d’actualiser les données concernant notre sujet en fonction des mutations géopolitiques récentes dans le monde contemporain et notamment dans la région maghrébine, pour pouvoir proposer des recommandations, des préconisations, et des pistes de réflexions cohérentes, pouvant faciliter les prises de décisions en termes de politiques publiques.

Disunions. Church-initiated separation of couples in the Catholic world (12th c. - 21st c.)
"What God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mk 10:2-16). In certain circumstances, the Catholic Church may however exercise this right, usually at the request of one of the spouses, but sometimes on its own initiative. Although canon law does not recognize divorce, since the Middle Ages representatives of the Church have endeavored to bring about the separation of certain couples. All these unions have been considered by the Church to be in contradiction to canon law, ecclesiastical discipline, the definition of Christian marriage or Christian morality. Recent scholarship has enabled us to gain a better understanding of matrimonial separations initiated by the spouses in the Middle Ages and the Modern period. The objective of this workshop is to tackle a rarer case, one that has scarcely been addressed by historians to date: that of separations initiated by the Church.

Amplified liturgies. The new musical ecosystems of religion
Revue « Archives de sciences sociales des religions »
This special issue will employ empirical fieldwork and social science tools to analyze the use of sound amplification and its supports in devotional settings. This includes loudspeakers, screens, video-projectors, mixing desks, digital audio stations, the architecture of places of worship. The aim is to identify its varying modalities. How do music and its amplification affect liturgies, participants, and forms of experience, socialization and authority?

Rome
Despite their numerical preponderance among the missionary workforce exercising a Christian apotolate at the end of the Ottoman Empire, women have long attracted less work than men. A rebalancing is in progress, spurred on by the gender studies and extended to the whole Muslim world. We will focus on real encounter and conflict situations, avoiding an essentialist approach to Islam and considering the extreme diversity of the field strategies and practices. This approach will be carried out in equal parts, in a decentering and critical way, far from denominational approaches.

Missionary strategies and practices, slavery and forced labour (early 19th-mid 20th century)
Another discussion on the institutional position of the churches in relation to slavery will be resolutely avoided. What will be analysed is the concrete confrontation —or cohabitation— with slavery. What did missionaries know about their slave environment? How did they learn about it? How did they take a stand? How did they act–or not? Same questions as far as indentured labour and the colonial forms of forced labour were concerned. Were there confrontations, mediations and misunderstandings?

Analysis of relics, hagiographic legends and Carolingian memories
Around the body of the Apostle James the Greater in Toulouse
Since the 14th century, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse has been proud to possess the entire body of James the Greater. After a first preparatory seminar on 11 March 2019 in Toulouse (Vraies et fausses reliques: un vrai faux problème), a workshop was held on 10 December 2021 (Les reliques toulousaines de Jacques le Majeur), focusing on the material aspects (examination of bones, reliquaries, and authentic items). In a final stage, the results of these analyses should be put into perspective during a meeting which would lead to the writing of a monograph bringing together all the studies carried out on the relics of Saint James in Toulouse.

The legacy of the arts: ideas and representations
The transmission of knowledge through tradition, orality and Academia
The second edition of the conference on doctoral studies in art and musicology aims to focus on research on the transmission of knowledge through the arts as a means and source of knowledge in the art world. The images and musical documents that have been preserved from ancient times to the present day - throughout the world - have made it possible to understand aspects of the social, cultural and religious life of many civilizations and also to be the same reflection of these. In this way, Art and Music, as resources, have been one of the key elements to be able to understand a culture since it has been the mechanism through which humans have been able to capture and transmit ideas and knowledge.

Les Cahiers d’études des cultures ibériques et latino-américaines (CECIL)
The problem of representation is central to the disciplinary fields of all the human and social sciences, most often implicitly. This omnipresence sometimes makes us forget that it is a notion whose definition, status and function are subject to the fluctuations of history. What interests us is the discrepancy between what this notion has been able to encompass over time and what it encompasses nowadays, as well as the explanation that can be given to these discrepancies or possible ruptures. The reflection focuses in particular on the link between the notion of representation and the notions of 'heritage' - tangible or intangible objects, but also products of a social construction - and of 'memory', since it is constructed through concrete representations, whether social or discursive practices.

The Prince and the Church in Renaissance Europe
Princely Acts as Sources for Ecclesiastical History
Religious history of the Renaissance has, without a doubt, been one of the fields of predilection of historians in recent decades. Various sources have been used to develop the field (registers/proceedings of ecclesiastical institutions, of tribunals and of urban institutions; notarial registers; correspondences of princes and of their representatives, those of cities, of bourgeois and of theologians, diaries and memoirs of contemporaries; theological treaties; etc.).

Producción y reproducción de narrativas rituales en el catolicismo americano
XVII Congreso latinoamericano de religion y etnicidad : movilidad religiosa y conflicto. Patrimonio cultural y turismo
La religion en tant que réalité sociale s'est historiquement manifestée à travers des actes dans lesquels les personnes se réunissent périodiquement pour exprimer des croyances partagées. Pour ce symposium nous encourageons l'envoi de propositions basées sur des travaux de terrain et rendant compte de l'héritage de l'évangélisation dans le catholicisme latino-américain, afin de montrer les espaces publics et privés dans lesquels se célèbrent et se matérialisent de nouveaux langages communs - artistiques, symboliques, gestuels - qui font des pratiques religieuses l'expression d'une société dans un contexte particulier, à un moment précis de son histoire, non pas comme des manifestations de syncrétisme, mais plutôt comme des processus d'intégration sociale, à travers lesquels plusieurs cultures s'influencent mutuellement.

Religious encounters - between coexistence and cohabitation
Dans la continuité du colloque international, « Pouvoir, expressions et représentations », organisé au sein du Calhiste en 2015, le colloque international Rencontres religieuses : entre coexistence et cohabitation invite les chercheurs américains et espagnols, et des sphères culturelles qui leur sont proches, à se pencher sur les notions de laïcité, de religion, et sur les rapports que celles-ci peuvent entretenir avec les institutions politiques ou spirituelles. Nous aborderons également les notions de cohabitation et de coexistence, aussi bien d’un point de vue diachronique que synchronique, en prêtant une attention particulière aux arguments et aux contextes qui rendent possibles ces rencontres ou qui, au contraire, provoquent des confrontations entre les différents points de vue.
