Cette journée d’étude est consacrée aux trajectoires et aux collaborations des multiples acteurs qui participent à la production des photographies, et contribuent dans le même temps à façonner leurs modalités d’existence dans l’espace social. En se plaçant derrière l’image, et non plus devant elle, il s’agira d’examiner les compétences, les métiers ou les professions impliqués dans la conception, le financement et/ou la fabrication d’images photographiques destinées à être diffusées à de multiples exemplaires auprès d’un vaste public. On peut ainsi penser aux éditeurs, photograveurs, tireurs et retoucheurs, directeurs artistiques, graphistes et iconographes.

Gender and education amid Covid-19
Impacts, responses, and prospects
The present conference aims to examine the devastating impacts of Covid-19 pandemic on gender equality and quality education, two sustainable goals identified by the UN, and the kind of responses which were triggered as forms of activism, self-expression, and creation of new meanings. Furthermore, it explores the prospects which may be unlocked for future professionals through learning different skills and values which foster equal opportunities for both genders in leadership and in the labour market, eventually and hopefully resulting in an equitable, unbiased, and fair labour culture for all.

Famille, vie privée, vie publique
Penser le changement de la famille : une articulation entre la vie publique et la vie privée
La famille, la vie privée sont des domaines qui ont connu des changements radicaux depuis plus de 50 ans. On peut en citer quelques-uns : pluralisation des formes devie privée, fragilisation de la vie conjugale, modification des rôles sexués au sein de la famille, flou sur l’entrée et la fin de la vie de couple, réduction de la fécondité, nouvelles formes familiales avec l’essor de ménages monoparentaux et recomposés. Ces évolutions sont des faits incontestables. Leur interprétation, en revanche, fait débat. La sociologie de la famille n'échappe pas au grand récit de l’effondrement des institutions. À vrai dire, ces perceptions durent depuis plus de deux siècles. Louis de Bonald au début du XIXe siècle ne s’indignait-il pas de la fin du pouvoir du père et du déclin de la famille après la Révolution française ? Au tournant du XXe siècle, Émile Durkheim ne notait-il pas lui-même la faiblesse d’une institution qui ne protège pas assez les individus, le conduisant à s’opposer au rétablissement du divorce par consentement mutuel ?

Academic Freedom in a Global Context: Challenges and Perspectives
Transtext(e)s Transcultures: Journal of Global Cultural Studies
Academic freedom here is understood as the freedom to produce and share knowledge free from political, economic, or social hindrance so as to shed light on complex situations or issues. Academic freedom refers specifically to members of research and education institutions who seek to create knowledge “for its own sake” (Butler, 2017), rather than for industrial or commercial interests. Therefore, it is distinct from freedom of speech or other basic human rights as it is not an inherent entitlement of each human being, but rather a freedom attached to a specific community of people whose duty is to further develop knowledge in several areas. In that sense, academic freedom has a collective dimension but is exercised by a “community of the competent” (Haskell, 1996) who ensure that science is not politicised. This special issue of Transtext(es) Transcultures seeks to document and analyse the alarming rise in, and the diversification of, threats to academic freedom in the twenty-first century across the globe.

The role of art in and towards sustainable changes
While the sociology of arts and culture has long dealt with classical sociological questions of artistic production, distribution and reception, the concern for ecological issues and sustainability has only recently been taken up. On the one hand, the artistic field is an economy and an industry like any other, where the use of natural and human resources leads to questions of inequality, access and power relations. On the other hand, it represents a particular case, as intertwined with the issues of sustainability are those of artistic meaning, reception and cultural practices, and social factors different than in other fields. What is the environmental and social impact of art? Can art be sustainable, both ecologically and socially through time, and how? What can we make of the sustainability of art that is made to last long – sculpture, painting, print, recorded production – as well as of the required preservations techniques and places? And, on the other hand, what is the place of ephemeral art when considering sustainability (in all its aspects): street art, graffiti, art installations, live music and theatre? How can art support transformations towards more sustainable societies? A change in individual and collective practices is needed to achieve the SDGs. What role can or do art and artists play in these transformations? Can artists contribute to shaping alternative paths?

LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms
In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

Artistic Activism in India (History, Practice, Paradigm and Circulation)
“Artivism” encompasses artistic actions, which tackle social and political issues, reviving agitational practises defined in resistance to the planetary ideological hegemony they refer to as neoliberalism. This resurgent awareness of the political nature of artistic creation questions consensual discourses on the neutrality of art and aesthetics, often confined in their "autonomy" and impervious to the disorders of the world. Within artistic activism a dialectic between two entities, traditionally perceived as being of a different nature, is played out: on the one hand the field of art (too often defined as autonomous, with no other functionality than its own) and on the other hand in the field of politics and social activities on the other hand (thought out as a praxis of the exercise of the power in an organized society). The central question posed by artistic activism could be stated in this way: How can we evaluate the capacity of art (visual arts, performing arts, literature, theatre, dance, video art, cinema, etc.) to function as social and political protest?

Spectacular strangeness - the culture shock of the living arts today
Vers un dépaysement des arts vivants actuels
L’objectif de ces journées d’étude sera de faire vivre une recherche encore marginale sur des objets d’étude qui le sont tout autant. Nous nous interrogerons sur ce que produisent ces « bizarreries spectaculaires » ainsi que sur leur impact dans les arts vivants. À la manière d’un cabinet de curiosités,nous tenterons de constituer une sorte de collection d’objets spectaculaires bizarres que nous étudierons ensuite afin d’en comprendre les enjeux. Le but n’est donc pas de créer une taxinomie mais plutôt d’apprendre à regarder l’étrange et de tenter de construire des outils adaptés pour mieux l’analyser. Voici quelques questions laissées en suspens qui pourront être développées durant les communications : Pourquoi et comment regarder une « bizarrerie spectaculaire » ? Quels outils et/ou méthodes utiliser pour mieux comprendre les enjeux de ces formes atypiques ? D’où viennent-elles, ont-elles des antécédents et si oui, lesquels ? Dans quelles mesures bouleversent-elles les codes de la représentation scénique ? Que nous révèlent-elles sur l’état actuel des arts du spectacle et par quels moyens les réenchantent-t-elles ?

Cahiers Frédéric Dard journal – vol. 4
Le quatrième tome des Cahiers Frédéric Dard sera publié en 2020, date importante marquant une période charnière qui se situe vingt ans après la disparition de Frédéric Dard et à l’aube du centenaire de sa naissance en 1921. Après un premier numéro consacré aux récits d’enfance, un deuxième à l’humour et un troisième qui proposait de suivre des chemins de traverse, ce quatrième opus sera l’occasion d’interroger la dimension patrimoniale de l’œuvre de Frédéric Dard, la propension de cette dernière à constituer aujourd’hui un héritage culturel commun.

Risks and safety in combat sports and martial arts
XVe journées de réflexions et de recherches sur les sports de combat et les arts martiaux (JORRESCAM)
This international congress "Risks and safety in combat sports & martial arts » is the 15th JORRESCAM (Days of Reflection and Research on Combat Sports and Martial Arts). It aims to explore this topic in a multidisciplinary perspective (human and social sciences, and life sciences), and to brings together a wide range of actors in different positions and functions: researchers, professionals, students, institutional actors, etc., in order to spark dialogue. Six topics are questioned in the field of combat sports & martial arts (SCAM) : representations of CSMAs from a risk-based perspective, knowledge developed around risks in CSMAs, effect of risks and their taking into account by actors of CSMAs, the use of CSMA for safety purposes, the importance placed on safety and safety policies in CSMAs, the safety levers used in CSMAs

The sexual politics of media production and regulation
This conference will take place at Lille University (France) on Novemebr 3rd and 4th 2020. It aims at building bridges across national and disciplinary contexts by bringing together English and French-speaking scholars who work at the crossroads of media studies and sexuality studies. We call for papers examining the processes through which sexuality is mediated, with special interest in media genres and sectors that may not appear as “sexual” at first sight. Indeed, the queer starting point of this conference is that all media, even those that present as “non-sexual”, are actually actively involved in sexual politics, for instance through the claim of sexual decency. This also implies that all sexualities, even those that present as natural and timeless – starting with heterosexuality –, are actually the product of cultural processes, in which the media play a key role.

Bodies in construction, cinema and audiovisual
AFECCAV 2020 congress
Ce congrès sera consacré au sujet du corps, considéré comme construction culturelle qui, à l’ère de la modernité ou de la post-modernité, associe à la fois les pratiques et discours d’éducation et les représentations qu’en offrent le cinéma et plus largement les médias. A l’heure où Sex Education, diffusé sur Netflix, en est à une deuxième saison et où le body horror est devenu grand public, nombreux sont les films, les tutoriels, les séries télévisées, les films éducatifs qui font un usage spécifique,renouvelé de la présence des corps et délivrent une conception des corps digne d’être envisagée, tant par les chercheurs-euses en études filmiques que ceux et celles en éducation. C’est la conjonction de ces deux modes, traditionnellement envisagés de manière disjointe, dans des sphères de recherche séparées qui fera la spécificité de la réflexion menée au cours de ce congrès international.

Maynooth
From the outset Collective Memory-Work was intended to be an emancipatory method with a consciously open form. Over three decades the method has been successfully used in academic research in a variety of fields. It has been adapted and adjusted according to purposes of the applications, institutional frameworks, organisational necessities and methodological considerations, leading to further developments of the method. Narrative transformation, collective autoethnographic memory-work, mind-scripting, collective biography are some of the terms that reflect these developments. The symposium is meant to: foster an exchange about the use of CMW (its timeliness, its variations, the potential fields of application, its value in teaching, learning, research, social activism); create an opportunity to build networks for cooperation and knowledge exchange across geographical and disciplinary boundaries ; build bridges for an increased transfer of CMW into non-academic areas.
