Caring for Madness in Medieval and Early Modern Europe: Approaches, Practices, and Representations
Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this conference seeks to examine the perception, treatment, and representation of individuals affected by madness in the medieval and early modern periods, whether madness took the diverse forms of melancholy, possession, wandering, or unreason. To this end, it proposes to engage with the contemporary notion of care, understood as an ethics of care, and to historicize it beyond its modern conceptual framework, in order to reassess the relationship to vulnerability and dependency (and interdependency), as well as the dialectic between assistance and marginalization in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Ce colloque entend interroger la place et la portée sociale du chercheur et du praticien en didactique des langues et en sciences du langage face aux enjeux linguistiques contemporains. Il ambitionne de créer un espace de dialogue interdisciplinaire permettant de penser conjointement éthique, intelligence sociale et responsabilité scientifique afin de promouvoir des pratiques pédagogiques et des recherches réflexives, inclusives et socialement responsables. Comment articuler exigence scientifique, responsabilité éthique et intelligence sociale afin que la recherche et les pratiques en didactique des langues et en sciences du langage contribuent à une compréhension critique et inclusive des réalités linguistiques, sans reproduire les inégalités qu’elles observent et qu’elles analysent ?

To celebrate the centenary of the Prague Linguistic Circle, an international conference is being held at INALCO. Focusing on the relationships between language, norm and society, the conference will build on the Prague theoretical tradition while engaging with contemporary research in sociolinguistics, glottopolitics, language teaching, language contact, variation and typology. The aim is to examine how these notions have evolved since their initial formulation, and to evaluate their continued relevance in the context of contemporary linguistic studies.

Patching up. Intermediality. History and Theory of the Arts, Literature, and Technologies
Revue « Intermédialités », n° 50 (Automne 2027)
Patching up means adding pieces—patches—to maintain, repair, and extend the life of something; at times, it goes beyond simply filling a gap to become a creative act. We start from the premise that objects and infrastructures, like bodies and communities, can be patched up—and that what is patched up is never quite “as it was before.” Its appearance, function, and meaning may shift; the pieces themselves are redefined by what they join. Patching up is therefore less about restoring a previous state than about producing something that did not exist before: a different object, a new reality. This creative, poietic, and performative dimension lies at the heart of this issue, which seeks to explore both the material act of patching up and the political gestures and worldviews that accompany it.

Créativité et hétérogénéité langagière dans les pratiques d'écriture du quotidien
Deuxièmes journées d'étude des pratiques sociales de l'écrit
Pursuing the dialogue opened by Michel Dabène that helped bring to the fore more than thirty years ago the need to move beyond the dichotomy between “literary writing” and “ordinary writing.” Since writing is a staging of language, writing practices always reflect an “attention, never entirely absent but more or less acute, to the different levels of the elaboration of the written object (materiality, spelling, lexicon, syntax, textual organization) and by a submission, never totally absent but more or less assumed, to the (linguistic and social) norms that govern these different levels”.

Montpellier
Call for papers - Science studies
This symposium is a direct extension of the “Fiction & Social Sciences” meeting organized in May 2024, dedicated to contemporary articulations between fiction devices and social science methodologies. The exchanges initiated on this occasion made it possible to deepen already long-standing reflections on the relationships of competition, tension, but also complementarity between academic and fictional writing, paying particular attention to emerging practices such as fictional investigation. The central challenge was to analyze how the hybridization between the documentary and fictional genres shifts the ways of investigating, writing and reproducing research results.

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.

Montpellier
Conference, symposium - Thought
A space of ancient circulation, intense linguistic contacts and profound cultural reconfigurations, the Mediterranean and the Orient constitute an important site for observing how languages, cultures and media intertwine. In this region marked by plurality — plurality of languages (Arabic, Turkish, Persian, Hebrew, Berber, Greek, French, English, Chinese...), religious traditions, colonial legacies and migratory dynamics — media play a central role in the production, dissemination and transformation of representations.

Westward : Women, Literature, and Human Rights in Europe in the 20th and 21st Centuries
Cet appel à chapitres pour un volume collectif publié chez Droz (2027) invite à construire une histoire littéraire européenne transnationale des femmes migrantes d’Europe de l’Est, du XXe siècle à nos jours. Il s’agit d’analyser, à travers le prisme des droits humains comme catégorie critique, les productions littéraires et intellectuelles de ces écrivaines, souvent reléguées aux marges des canons nationaux, comme des formes de résistance cognitive et des archives alternatives de la violence politique, de l’exil et de la précarité. L’ouvrage entend ainsi combler un angle mort des études littéraires et des droits humains en restituant à ces voix leur pleine dimension d’actrices intellectuelles du débat démocratique européen.

Phraseological Universals in Natural Languages
Revue « Neophilologica », n° 38
The study of linguistic universals, closely tied to linguistic typology, seeks to identify features shared across natural languages despite their diversity. These universals — traditionally classified as phono-logical, grammatical, semantic, and symbolic — aim to formalize the invariants of human language, often in connection with cognition and perception. While linguistic typol-ogy focuses on differences between languages, the study of universals defines their con-straints, delineating the boundaries of possible variation.

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.

Limoges
Call for papers - Prehistory and Antiquity
This conference aims to study the history and evolution of two classical Greek concepts, anarchy and polyarchy, whose legacy, considered from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, unfolds at the crossroads between politics and religion. It will explore the transmission of the classical Greek, and particularly Platonic, condemnation of anarchy and polyarchy, and its connection with the apologia for monarchy in political and philosophical thought during the Hellenistic and Roman periods and in Judeo-Christian thought.
