Music and urban sociability in late eighteenth and early nineteenth century Europe
New methods, new perspectives
The city is a privileged field for encounters between historians and musicologists. The work of recent decades has seen a significant renewal, particularly with regard to the Modern Age, during which music became a central component of the urban experience. The diversification of themes is the key ingredient to this renewal. Institutional studies have given way to more complex approaches that combine artistic, social, political, cultural and economic issues to show how music was negotiated in urban contexts. Through the central theme of urban sociability and an unusual periodization, this workshop aims to highlight the original work of emerging scholars in which the spatial issues of urban musical practices are predominant, in order to compare sources, methods and questions.

Film Festivals and Middle Eastern Cinemas
“Regards” Journal
For the better part of a century, international film festivals have been essential to the global circulation of Middle Eastern cinema. Entanglements between festivals and cinema from the region date back to at least 1946, when the Egyptian film Dunia (dir. Mohammad Karim, 1946) screened at the first full edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, films from the Arab world, Iran, and Turkey have been mainstays on the festival circuit, premiering and screening at the Big Five (Berlin, Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, and Venice), as well as smaller festivals around the world.

Encounters with Death: Macabre Imagery and Symbolism across the Arts, Texts, and Cultural Traditions
22nd International Congress of the Danses macabres d’Europe (DME)
The congress invites scholars to reflect on the representation of death in art, literature, and history from the Middle Ages to the present day. Taking the iconic theme of the Dance of Death as its starting point, contributions may explore both the iconographic and literary traditions associated with it, including the Encounter of the Three Living and the Three Dead, the Triumph of Death, the Ars moriendi, the Memento mori, the Vanitas, and eschatological themes connected with the Last Judgement. Papers may also address funerary monuments and monumental sepulchral art, including gisants, tombs, and cemeteries, as well as the social practices surrounding death, such as funeral rites, the commemoration of the dead, and obituary traditions.

Freedom of Conscience in the Pre-Enlightenment (1000-1650)
Freedom of conscience is considered an unalienable right akin to freedoms of expression and speech, as noted in Articles 18 and 19 of the UN Charter. However, if we turn to the Medieval period, and its great diversity of innovative religious writing, it is clear that the mechanics of external oppression upon an individual’s inner life already existed in clear and comprehensible terms. Therefore, the (broad) question we would like to answer is : if we look beyond the eighteenth century, do we see this idea gradually become concrete ?

For an experiential and sensorial approach to spaces
This international colloquium explores how ambiances—light, wind, humidity, sound, temperature—shape the experience of island spaces and the relationships between communities, territories, and built environments.

Placebo, Hypnosis, and Functional Disorders
Bridging basic research and clinical innovation
The international conference Placebo, Hypnosis and Functional Disorders aims to articulate three domains that have historically evolved along distinct trajectories: research on placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis and suggestion, and the broad field of psychosomatic medicine. These domains are increasingly converging toward shared theoretical frameworks, while also exhibiting a diversity of methodological and experimental approaches rooted in their respective disciplinary traditions.

Humanités numériques et défis de l’émergence africaine
Ce colloque sur les humanités numériques en Afrique est un cadre d'échanges qui, au-delà des perspectives interdisciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires, se veut une occasion d'échanges en vue de creuser les limites imposées par le numérique et les sciences sociales. Dans une approche inclusive, il s'agit de montrer en quoi la dématérialisation et la démocratisation de l'information s'érigent en des questions épistémologiques sur le numérique, sur le modèle d’éducation et de culture dans une Afrique en plein essor. Les discussions porteront essentiellement sur le numérique, les lettres, les arts, la pédagogie, la recherche, les sciences sociales et l’émergence de l’Afrique.

Ecritures et formes du décentrement de l’hispanophonie globale
Dans ce séminaire doctoral en ligne, nous souhaitons ébaucher une épistémologie du décentrement en nous intéressant aux pratiques artistiques, littéraires et de médiation qui déplacent les centres, se déplacent par rapport à ces mêmes centres, en recréent de nouveaux, ou introduisent des décalages, déports et brouillages par rapport à différents types de centralités : esthétiques, politiques, sociales, académiques et médiatiques.

Experiencing the Elusive: Understanding Emotions in Social Sciences
Partially inherited from Enlightenment thought, the opposition of emotion to reason, body to mind, and natural sciences to social sciences has resulted in the marginalisation of the study of emotions and affects by devaluing them within the latter. The study of emotions requires a multidisciplinary approach. Our objective is to discuss emotions in a broad sense using diverse media. This call is therefore intended for a wide range of disciplines, regions, and time periods.

Imagining a Future (inside/outside) Britain
S’inscrivant dans la perspective du champ interdisciplinaire des études sur le futur, et plus spécifiquement des études critiques sur le futur, ce colloque propose d’étudier la façon dont le futur du Royaume-Uni et des nations qui le composent a été imaginé à travers les périodes, sur des modes fictionnels et non-fictionnels. Nous nous intéresserons à la fois aux représentations du futur du Royaume-Uni dans son ensemble (le futur de l’État, de la société et de l’Union britanniques), et aux représentations du futur des différents territoires constitutifs du Royaume-Uni soit au sein de l’Union et de l’Empire, soit au contraire hors de ceux-ci.
