Photography as Inquiry

Perspectives from the Social Sciences and Humanities

This thematic issue explores the role of photography in social science research methods from the late 19th century to the present, with an ethnographic focus on the processes of production and co-production of fieldwork data. Whilst the intertwining of the medium with the renewal of modes of scientific observation and gaze in the 19th and 20th centuries is now well established, the past and current development of visual practices at the intersection of the social sciences and photography has, for its part, been explored more recently. Building on these works, this issue aims to follow the long-term evolution of ethnographic research methods involving and/or using photography, as well as the gradual development of its contemporary forms. What constitutes a (photographic) inquiry, and for whom? What roles do fieldworkers, ethnographer-photographers, and the institutions that oversee and commission inquiries play in it?

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.

La trace des dieux : empreintes surnaturelles dans le christianisme, l’islam et le bouddhisme (Moyen Âge – époque contemporaine)

Many cultures express devotion toward objects that appear remarkably similar: footprints in stone said to have been left by celestial figures. This workshop, organized at the University of Neuchâtel on October 22–23, 2026, aims to move beyond this impression of déjà vu and to highlight the specific characteristics of devotional practices associated with such traces in Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, from the Middle Ages to the present day.

Incarceration and Health

This international conference seeks to explore the links between confinement and health from a comparative and transnational perspective, bringing into dialogue African, European, and American experiences from the nineteenth to the twentieth century.

Social Work in the Face of Artificial Intelligence : What Insights into Ongoing Professional Reconfigurations ?

Knowledges, Values and Skills at Stake

L’intelligence artificielle (IA), tout comme Internet, ne relève pas d’un simple progrès technique, mais d’un changement systémique qui transforme les structures économiques, sociales et professionnelles, modifiant ainsi les pratiques, les formes d’expertise et les relations entre humains et technologies. Dans ce contexte, le champ de l’intervention sociale se trouve aujourd’hui traversé par une tension fondamentale, entre la complexité irréductible de la vie humaine et la logique de modélisation propre à l’intelligence artificielle (Healy, 2022). Si les algorithmes reposent sur la prévisibilité, la quantification et la recherche de régularités, la pratique du travail social s’enracine, quant à elle, dans la singularité des trajectoires, la contingence des situations et la dimension relationnelle du lien social. Cette tension interroge la possibilité même d’une traduction algorithmique du jugement professionnel et des interactions humaines.

Languages, Cultures and Media in the Mediterranean and the Orients: Devices, Practices and Ideologies

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.

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.

Beauvoir Webinar Series

The Beauvoir Webinar Series were originally conceived by their first coordinators (Gina and Marine) as an open space for expression accessible to all, while also serving as a site of resistance to the multiple hegemonic dynamics that permeate the academic sphere and, more broadly, the social field.

Desktop Films: Forms, Uses, Circulations

This conference stems from an interest in an emerging form of filmmaking, the desktop film or screen film, arising from the convergence of two related phenomena: the exponential acceleration in the circulation of moving images enabled by digitization and the development of Web 2.0, and the evolutions in audiovisual and media creation that incorporate digital aesthetics and practices into their modes of operation. Positioning ourselves within the field of post-media studies initiated by Lev Manovich in 2001, and more specifically within what is now referred to as the field of “post-cinema”, this conference seeks to foster a resolutely interdisciplinary reflection (Art Studies, Film and Audiovisual Studies, Information and Communication Sciences, Cognitive Sciences, Anthropology, Narratology, etc.) structured around the following axes: semiotic and multimodal approaches; narrative and discursive approaches; actors and Networks; archaeology of the Desktop Film.
