Vienne : art-s-pentages d’une ville-monde
Parcourir Vienne, c’est se confronter aux arts à chaque coin de rue. Souhaitant mettre en regard les perspectives de la ville des arts et celle de la ville-monde, notre manifestation se propose comme un art-pentage de Vienne. Arpenter, c’est-à-dire explorer l’espace physique de la ville et son lien aux arts, mais aussi découvrir l’espace mythique que la création artistique y a construit.

Oratures / créatures : fictions animales et performances décoloniales
Aux XIXe et XXe siècles, de nombreux récits issus de traditions orales ont été recueillis par des acteurs coloniaux et intégrés aux systèmes littéraires et savants européens. Souvent présentées comme des témoignages à « sauver » d’un patrimoine en voie de disparition, ces « oratures » (Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o, 1986) ont circulé sous des formes éditoriales variées – recueils de contes, fables, proverbes – au prix d’une perte de leur dimension performative et d’un effacement de leurs contextes sociaux d’origine. Cette extraction a contribué à invisibiliser les médiations (traduction, sélection, réécriture, illustration) et les réseaux d’acteurs impliqués. Le colloque entend interroger ces processus à partir d’un objet spécifique : les oratures animalières.

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.

The Art Museum in the Digital Age (2026)
This international online conference explores the complex interrelations between truth, fake and falsified information, and knowledge authority in the context of digital transformation processes. In light of increasing disinformation, AI-generated content, and algorithmic bias, museums face the challenge of rethinking their role as trusted spaces for knowledge dissemination. At the same time, digital technologies open up new possibilities for participation, contextualization, and translation. At the heart of the conference is the question of how museums can assume digital responsibility and actively contribute to fostering an open and reflective information culture.

Describing Creole Languages in the 19th Century: Ideology, Sociology, and Intertextuality
How do beliefs about Creole languages influence the their descriptions by 19th-century creolists? This issue of Archipélies seeks to answer this question, focusing on the beliefs, representations, and, more broadly, ideologies that permeate descriptions of Creole languages from the documentation of Haitian Creole by Ducœurjoly in 1802 to the naturalistic portrayal of Creoles around the turn of the century1. Far from being reduced to simple nomenclatures, descriptions of Creole languages reproduce an ideological background that must be examined in order to better understand the gradual development of a linguistic discourse on the genesis and structures of Creole languages. As linguistic practices born out of colonial situations, forced contact, and historical ruptures, Creoles and their descriptions crystallize the ideological and conceptual divisions of coloniality, threatening its coherence and uniformity.

Ce séminaire constitue un lieu d’échanges sur les travaux actuels concernant les transferts culturels. À chaque séance, deux chercheurs sont invités pour présenter leurs recherches et débattre de leur approche. Le cadre intellectuel est celui de l’histoire et de l’épistémologie des sciences humaines, et le fil directeur des séances, méthodologique : il s’agit de repérer les vecteurs par lesquels s’opèrent les déplacements de contenus intellectuels et culturels ainsi que de questionner les processus de resémantisation qui accompagnent ces transformations. D’une séance à l’autre, les thématiques varient : ce choix est lié au souci de tester la pertinence de l’approche en termes de transferts culturels au-delà de la diversité des objets abordés et de nouer un dialogue entre les disciplines.

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 overarching theme for the 10th ITRA World Conference is The Zeitgeist in Toys & Games is designed to decipher and understand the many ways toys and games have shaped and reflected who we are, and have changed throughout history. Looking at the past, present, and future of playthings, the question is not so much what the zeitgeist in toys and games should be – but rather how and what they contribute to the multiple and potentially conflicting constellations of ideas, values and norms that come to characterize particular epochs.

Errance, obscénité, mémoire de la judéité et amour de la langue dans l’œuvre d’Edgar Hilsenrath
À l'occasion du centenaire de la naissance d'Edgar Hilsenrath, le colloque se propose d’explorer, en français et en allemand, les multiples facettes de l’œuvre de ce romancier majeur de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, relativement méconnu du public et encore peu étudié par les milieux académiques : sa contribution à l’histoire juive et à la compréhension de la géopolitique de l’Europe centrale, le romanesque si particulier de son écriture sans tabou, son rapport amoureux à la langue − pas seulement allemande.

Monasteries and religious communities in the Alps from the Middle Ages to the present day
History, landscape, architecture and enhancement of cultural heritage
Volume 31/2026 of Histoire des Alpes – Storia delle Alpi – Geschichte der Alpen wishes to dedicate its Dossier to the theme of monasteries and religious communities in the Alpine region. While the history of regular communities was largely investigated from the second half of the 19th century until the first years of the 20th century, in particular thanks to the impetus of members of the clergy who devoted themselves to collecting, transcribing and translating archives, as well as publishing monographs, there has been a revival of interest in this subject over the last few decades in the Alps and Pre-Alps, driven in particular by archaeologists, by the diversification of issues concerning the religious world and, locally, by the desire of the public authorities to broaden the range of the tourism offer by promoting local heritage.

Other Europes: Concepts, Histories, Narratives
Réunissant des chercheurs internationaux de divers horizons disciplinaires, le colloque vise à examiner l’Europe et l’histoire européenne à partir de perspectives marginalisées, périphériques et subalternes. Plus précisément, il s’interroge sur les concepts, les histoires et les récits autour du thème de l’« Europe » issus de groupes qui n’ont pas accès au pouvoir (politique, économique et social) ou qui subissent une marginalisation sociale ou culturelle en raison, par exemple, de leur nationalité, de leur ethnie, de leur classe, de leur sexe, de leur religion, de leur âge ou de leur sexualité.

Literatures, geographical spaces and the fateful effects of borders
Alors que la frontière est dépeinte comme une limite nécessaire à toute société dans une logique d’organisation et d’administration, entre inclusion et exclusion, la question des déterminants d’une frontière (géographique) est posée. La mise en place ou même bien la postérité de frontières peut être considérée comme tenant à la fois de la contingence et de la nécessité. À l’image du mythe de Héro et Léandre, et de leur amour interdit, la littérature et les arts ont souvent fait de l’eau le marqueur d’une frontière « naturelle’ et ‘émotionnelle ». Dès lors, les éléments d’ordres naturels joueraient un rôle crucial sur la destinée des Hommes et des espaces.

Economies of Renewal and Transformation
The "celebration" or post-crisis period is not merely a moment of festivity but an opportunity for tension release, reinvention, collective creativity, and the creation of new identities and relationships. This symposium proposes to examine how, from an economic and organizational perspective, societies reshape, rebuild, and find new avenues for transformation after times of crisis, both systemically and discursively.
