  Mapping Aristocratic Spaces. Estates, Forests, and Gardens (Europe, 16th–19th Centuries)

  Whether used to map or describe a territory, to develop, exploit, or promote it, the map gradually emerged as one of the primary tools for the appropriation of aristocratic spaces in modern Europe. This cartography, widely utilized by historians of parks, gardens, forests, and estates, has however rarely been studied for its own sake. This conference therefore aims to examine the methods of its production, uses, and dissemination, while exploring its role in the transformation of the environment and in the reconfiguration of an aristocracy that considered land ownership as a foundation of its social identity.

  The Maghreb of Anthropologists : Actors, Practices and Spaces

  The conference The Maghreb of Anthropologists : Actors, Practices and Spaces will focus on these shifts in the anthropology of the Maghreb. It will investigate the emergence of new actors, practices and spaces within and in relation to Maghreb anthropology, whether these are thematic, methodological, linguistic, bibliographical, conceptual, theoretical or epistemological in nature. It will also raise questions that are more institutional and that relate to issues of training, career trajectories and, more broadly, the power structures that shape higher education.

  Establishment of an Endogenous Calendar and Celebration of the African New Year: Contemporary Challenges of African Unity, between history and identity

  In a context where Africa aspires to free itself from the vestiges of colonization and all other forms of cultural domination, in order to assert itself as an autonomous and self-referential power, the question arises as to what date could be chosen for the celebration of the African New Year, similar to that of other peoples of the world such as the Chinese, Europeans, Israelis, Iranians, and so on, who celebrate their New Year distinctly. However, this date must necessarily be based on a scientifically developed calendar that withstands the vagaries of time. It is for all these reasons that the Togolese Government proposes to organize an international symposium on the theme: “Establishment of an endogenous calendar and celebration of the African New Year: contemporary challenges of African unity, between history and identity”.

  The Most Important of All Ages. Children, Childhood(s) and Childlikeness in Soviet Cinema

  The profound symbolic significance of the figure of the child in Soviet cinema has elevated it to a central—if not essential—principle of that cinematic tradition. Such a dimension calls for a sustained and renewed examination of the occurrences and variations of this figure, in order to further map its historical, ideological, mythopoetic, poetic, and philosophical metamorphoses within the Soviet filmic space. Our inquiry will address both the “childlike principle” that permeates characters in Soviet cinema and the representation of childhood itself—its defining features and substance, its cultural plurality, its departure or loss, its mediation through memory, its nostalgia—as well as the historical biases that shape its conception and delimit its perception.

  Literary production and poetic trends among Cameroonian academics

  L’écrivain intellectuel détient une posture hybride : celle du créateur critique et celle du critique de la création. Tout comme l’écrivain dit de métier, celui-ci se donne pour devoir de redéfinir les canons du livre, mais exprime davantage le refoulé de la critique. C’est ce qui permettra de scruter l’interrelation entre le savoir scientifique et la création littéraire, la double identité de l’universitaire-écrivain et les fonctions sociales de l’universitaire envisagées sous le prisme de l’écrivain. Se préoccuper de cette catégorie d’auteurs reviendrait donc à parcourir une imagination qui rapproche les lecteurs d’une vision assez épurée des problématiques contextuelles.

  Summer School - Early modern

  A Place in Time

  A Summer School for the Study of Women and Temporalities in Early Modern Europe

  The goal of this summer school is to help doctoral students develop an interdisciplinary reflection on the intersection between gender and time in the early-modern period. With the help of invited keynote speakers, workshops around secondary literature, primary written and visual sources (notably from the Palais des Beaux-Arts’s collections), and discussions around the candidates’ research, we aim to foster interest in this framework and complexify approaches to gender studies and key themes such as the question of agency or the inscription of women in history.

  Living and Dwelling in the Mediterranean Space: Practices, Representations, and Environment

  Les sociétés méditerranéennes d’aujourd'hui ne peuvent être comprises sans le poids des configurations héritées, ni sans la radicalité des ruptures en cours. Ce dialogue entre les temps est en lui-même un objet de recherche. Par la richesse de ses axes thématiques et l’ambition de son programme scientifique, ce colloque international est une invitation à transgresser les frontières disciplinaires sans les effacer, à articuler les temporalités sans les confondre, et à penser la Méditerranée non comme un simple arrière-plan géographique, mais comme un espace vécu, construit et perpétuellement réinventé par ses habitants. Ce colloque ambitionne de rassembler des chercheurs (historiens, archéologues, anthropologues, géographes, sociologues, urbanistes) afin de croiser les regards sur une même réalité complexe.

  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.

  Blanche de Castille

  Exercer le pouvoir au féminin (1226-1252)

  Given the exceptional position held by Blanche of Castile, widow of the late Louis VIII and mother of the new king, powerful woman, within Latin Christendom for nearly a quarter of a century, the anniversary of the start of her ‘regency’ seemed to us a fitting occasion to highlight recent advances in the historiography of Blanche of Castile. This conference therefore aims to shed light on his reign – from the scale of his personal domain to that of Latin Christendom – and his life’s journey, from his Castilian origins to his final resting place in the abbeys of Maubuisson and Le Lys, and indeed right up to the present day.

  Research on the Displacement of French Document Collections in Europe (1930–1950)

  In June 2027, La Contemporaine will host an international symposium dedicated to the study of the displacement of documentary collections across Europe, including France, between the 1930s and 1950s. At the crossroads of historical studies, book history and provenance research, this event aims to document and analyse the trajectories of these documentary collections, whether or not they were subject to spoliation. An overview of similar research in other countries and of the challenges posed by the documentary processing of collections will complete this analysis.

  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.
