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.

“Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya
The trilingual conference “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya seeks to address a still relatively unexplored topic: the study of Italian communities abroad, with particular attention to the Mediterranean world in the period between national unification (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911). At the core of this reflection lies the close, and not merely chronological, relationship between the migratory dynamics that characterized the early decades of unified Italy and the rise of colonial expansionism. The seminar therefore aims to investigate this connection through the specific lens offered by the Italian presence in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire before the occupation of Libya.

Call for papers - Representation
This international conference aims to explore the central role of culture and art in the reconstruction and regeneration of the social fabric, through a reinterpretation of trauma as a driver of creation and preservation of cultural memory and as a form of resistance to the politics of erasure. We encourage papers dealing with the interconnections between trauma, memory and resistance in multiple artistic languages to highlight the role of art in reinterpreting trauma, making it a source of memory and thus a basis for social change. The focus will be on the artistic production, especially during the 21st century, created by Palestinian artists about Palestine, including those in the diaspora.

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.

Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World
This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

Ordre et désordre dans la presse
Nouveaux métiers, matérialité des imaginaires et duels de plume et d’épée au cours du long XIXe siècle
L’objectif de ce colloque international, organisé par le Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere dell’Università di Pisa et le Centre de la Méditerranée Moderne et Contemporaine (CMMC) de l’Université Côte d’Azur, est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes de l’essor inédit de la presse à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale. Il s’inscrit dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique en cours. Pour cette nouvelle manifestation, il s’agit d’appréhender de nouveaux pans de la grande transformation médiatique à travers trois axes : le rôle de la presse dans la mise en ordre ou en désordre du monde social, suscitant, confortant ou renversant des imaginaires sociaux, y compris ceux qui concernent les actrices et acteurs du champ médiatique ; l’importance des producteurs/productrices et des productions d’iconographie journalistique (caricatures et illustrations) ; et les formes des violences générées par la presse, qu’elles émanent du public, des autorités, ou bien qu’elles aient lieu entre journalistes.

Literary paradigms and research perspectives
Ce colloque se propose d’explorer la centralité et la complexité du concept de risque dans la littérature de langue française dès le début du XXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. L’initiative s’insère dans le cadre du projet de recherche Déclinaisons du risque : pour une archéologie des imaginaires littéraires des XXe et XXIe siècles (PRIN 2022), développé par les équipes de recherche en Littérature française des universités de Turin, Bergame et Naples Federico II. Adoptant une approche interdisciplinaire, le projet vise à mettre en lumière la manière dont le risque — communément étudié dans les sciences exactes et sociales — revêt, dans les pratiques littéraires, la signification d’une incertitude intrinsèque à tout projet créatif.

Political Objects on the Move. For a Material History of Politics in the Long 19th Century
Special issue of the journal “Contemporanea. Rivista di storia dell’800 e del ’900”
This special issue of Contemporanea aims to reflect on the mobility of political material culture, analysing how its circulation and transformation, both physical and symbolic in time and space, generated connections between contexts and movements, disseminated and popularised images and imagination, and redefined and influenced political sensibilities and practices during the long 19th century.

Satie 2025. One hundred years of heritage
Le colloque propose une réflexion sur l’héritage de Satie aux XXe et XXIe siècles, en favorisant la comparaison entre différents répertoires et expériences, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire. Il sera également question de poser le problème en termes transdisciplinaires étant donné la propension de l’auteur à élargir les frontières sémantiques et esthétiques de la musique elle-même. Cette perspective élargie ne devra cependant pas exclure l’interrogation purement musicologique et sont attendues des contributions novatrices – surtout dans le domaine analytique – en vertu des compétences spécifiques exprimées par le partenariat avec les Conservatoires de Turin et Catane.

Guerre, americanismo e antiamericanismo dal XX secolo all’attualità
Diacronie. Studi di storia contemporanea
Since its entry into World War 1 in 1917, the United States has played a pivotal international role across political, economic, cultural, and military arenas. This trajectory has been characterized by waves of both Americanization and anti-Americanism, with military interventions increasingly assuming a central role—albeit with notable distinctions. The United States has been consistently engaged in overseas operations. This call for papers seeks to explore the complex relationship between wars, Americanism, and anti-Americanism from the 20th century to the present.

Since 2023, the PIOMIG project “Pioneers of Global Migration (16th- 21st centuries)”, supported by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société - Sud-Est (MSHS-SE) and the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), has been studying so-called “pioneer” migratory phenomena, which lie upstream and on the margins of the major migratory currents already well identified in scholarly literature. After organizing a first workshop, which enabled us to better define this notion (https://epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/publication/pionniers-migrations), we propose to convene a symposium on December 4, 5 and 6, 2025. This symposium will provide an opportunity to present the original material collected and analysed in recent years, and to compare it with other approaches and studies on related subjects.
