Call for papers - Science studies

Fiction et sciences sociales

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.

Gérard Lebrun ou l’envers de la philosophie

Histoire et critique du discours philosophique

Le colloque « Gérard Lebrun ou l’envers de la philosophie » met à l’honneur une figure française de l’histoire de la philosophie de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle : Gérard Lebrun (1930-1999), Professeur d’histoire de la philosophie moderne à l’Université de Provence du début des années 1960 à la fin des années 1990, spécialiste de philosophie allemande classique et fin connaisseur de l’ensemble de l’histoire de la philosophie des Grecs aux contemporains. Pendant trente ans, Lebrun partagea son activité d’enseignant et de chercheur entre l’Université de Provence à Aix-en-Provence, l’Université de São Paulo au Brésil, et plus occasionnellement l’École Normale Supérieure de la rue d’Ulm, où il forma des générations d’étudiants. Son influence fut puissante et durable au Brésil, même si, en France, Lebrun est moins connu que d’autres « habitués » de l’USP des années soixante, tels Michel Foucault ou même Gilles Gaston Granger.

Work and Utopia(s)"

Laboreal, July 2026

Since the 19^th century, the cyclical crises of our industrial societies have fuelled multiple initiatives aimed at envisioning another possible world. Yet recent decades have revealed a state of profound crisis that leads us to doubt, more radically than ever, the validity and sustainability of our ways of thinking and acting. Our futures are at stake, our models of society are being strained under the pressure of climate change, social and societal upheavals, public health crises, and political instability. In this context, human labour is an undeniable issue. In these times of transition, ways of thinking about and acting on work increasingly integrate the utopian dimension, which underlies the evolution of both the worlds of work and communities of life. This issue will therefore be an opportunity to take stock of the state of the art.

The painting of Eugène Delacroix: materials, practices and restorations

Technè, n°62, 2026-2

Recent publications and exhibitions have all contributed to deepening our understanding of Eugène Delacroix’s practices. At the same time, the last decade has witnessed numerous restorations of his large-scale canvases and decors kept in museums, churches, and national institutions. These interventions, highlighting a solid coordination between the different actors involved in the preservation of Delacroix heritage, have produced a multitude of observations and much material knowledge. Number 62 of Technè will offer the opportunity to take into consideration the new information gathered from this activity, to identify research prospects and cross-reference these discoveries with the artist's immense written legacy (journal, correspondence, articles) as well as with other publications dealing with the history of collectors, and the art and restoration market in Paris in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Eastern Bloc Universities as a Meeting Place for International Youth during the Cold War

This study day on international mobility is part of the transnational turn in research on the Cold War, which in recent years has highlighted a certain permeability of the Iron Curtain. It will focus on the transnational movement of students. It will focus in particular on the universities of Eastern Europe as a place of sociability and cultural mixing, and as a meeting place for young people. It will look at the issues at stake and the ways in which these encounters take place, in order to understand their impact on the personal trajectories of these young people at a time when their identity and professional pathways are being forged.

Architecture as a project for society: the teaching of Giancarlo De Carlo, twenty years after his death

The aim of the call (papers and posters) is to update and put into perspective the teaching of the architect Giancarlo De Carlo, twenty years after his death. By reconnecting with the roots of a way of thinking that closely links theory and practice, the aim is to situate De Carlo's contributions within the theoretical and methodological debates of his time and to place his legacy in the context of the debates and practices that question the evolution of architectural education and their links (or lack of links) with contemporary professional practices. The combination of these two objectives should make it possible to open up a more global debate on the development of architectural education in the face of global changes.

Bringing suffering into the narrative(s)

Since the “narrative turn” of the 1980s and the “affective turn” of the 1990s, contemporary human and social sciences, as well as writing practices, have given increasing prominence to individual narratives seen as enriching viewpoints to better understand human experience and social reality. The “subject”, long viewed with suspicion in a positivist conception of knowledge, is taking center stage in a context of weakening “metanarratives” and growing social struggles – for civil rights, for the self-determination of peoples, etc. (Grard 2017). These changes also emerge in the healthcare field : this slogan of the Disability rights movement, “Nothing about us without us”, reflects a yearning to place the subject at the heart of the discourse. This new issue of the Revue des sciences sociales will explore how human and social sciences contribute to the production and analysis of individual narratives that shed new light on experiences of illness and suffering.

Regards et réflexions sur les concepts de bifurcations et « doing transitions »

The aim of this Franco-German study day is to bring together different international research traditions. The aim is to compare research angles, concepts, frameworks and methods relating to life-course transitions. The widespread approach to the concept of 'bifurcation' in French-language research offers many possibilities for convergence with the 'Doing transitions' approach developed in recent years by the 'Doing transitions Graduiertenkolleg' research group. This comparative exercise will be considered not only between two countries, but also between two concepts that become fertile methodological tools for the emergence of new lines of thought, allowing both possible exchanges between the two traditions to generate a common field, but also the contribution of new epistemological avenues to fuel the debate on each side of the Rhine.

Language memoirs and linguistic autobiographies: the multilingual subject’s self-narrative in comparative literature today

This seminar seeks to explore whether self-narratives dealing with multilingualism are likely to challenge the heuristic foundations of comparative studies. If ‘multilingual subjects’ (Kramsch 2006) are capable of negotiating their own literary identity beyond any attachment to a specific national literature and language, what does this imply for the representation of multiculturalism in the arts and what is left to compare at the individual level ? To what extent do multilingual autobiographers, by embracing several linguistic and cultural areas in their own life narrative, contribute to the reflective, transcultural stance comparative studies often seek to adopt ?

Alpha Blondy, from yesterday to tomorrow

A reggae committed to the rebirth of Africa

This symposium aims to bring together intellectual skills from around the world, in a multidimensional approach to lead the reflection on the career of Alpha Blondy and beyond, on the evolution of reggae music in the world.

Networks and sociability at the court of France, 17th-18th centuries

As part of its research programme “Networks and sociability at the court of France, 17^th-18^th centuries” (2017-…), the Centre de recherche du château de Versailles wishes to publish articles related to this subject on the Bulletin du Centre de recherche du château de Versailles. The court was a microcosm of society under the Ancien Régime. The royal family and the great noblemen were not only in each other’s company, but they also rubbed shoulders with a whole crowd of office-holders of greater or lesser importance, who ensured the smooth running of this mechanism.

Displaying the social history of migrants: content, scenography, public engagement

This conference addresses issues of display and reception, in a museum context, of social history in general and the social history of migrations in particular. The objective is to identify and discuss practices that can best carry across historical contents and reach a broad audience. What are the most suitable approaches to make visitors understand, feel, and project themselves into, the social life of working-class and migrant families of the past? What are the risks associated with the conception and mediation of migration history contents? How should that history be told in order to convey the diversity and inclusivity of historiographical narratives? In what way can people from working-class and migrant backgrounds be included in the exhibition process itself?

The clash of contexts and complexification of knowledge in plurilingual and intercultural education

From research to the production of knowledge in plurilingual and intercultural education in the context of international research cooperation

Comment s’éprouvent, se transforment, se transmettent les savoirs au cours des phases d’enquête, de production, de transposition, et de recontextualisation des connaissances dans le champ de l’éducation/formation interculturelle au sein d’équipes internationales ? Les intervenants réunis en Guadeloupe le 17 novembre 2021 seront centrés sur la comparaison des contenus de formation en lien avec la professionnalisation et l’interculturel à et par la recherche sur plusieurs terrains d’enquête : Guadeloupe, Martinique, Québec, Colombie, Nouvelle Calédonie… et les résultats, productions, préconisations et/ ou livrables qui en résultent. Les intervenants réunis à Paris le 24 novembre 2021 auront à cœur de présenter des dispositifs de formation et de recherche conjuguant des procédés artistiques, plurilittératiés et multimodaux dans la formation interculturelle des enseignants, et les résultats, productions, préconisations et/ou livrables qui en découlent.
