The calendar for the humanities and social sciences

Exhibiting design

Design, arts, médias journal

Pour son premier dossier thématique, la revue en ligne Design, Arts, Médias lance un appel à contribution autour de l’exposition de design. Le dossier, dirigé par Catherine Chomarat-Ruiz, entend réunir des articles qui s’efforceront de cerner la spécificité de ce type d’événement à travers les objets exposés, les lieux et les modalités d’expositions, les métiers inhérents à la conception et à la réalisation de ces monstrations, les savoir-faire, les méthodes et les disciplines scientifiques que mobilise l’étude de ces expositions.

ddh20 : Data and Digital Humanities 2020

The digital humanities offer a particularly rich research field of studies for data processing, apart from those of the hard sciences and the social sciences. Indeed, the humanities are rarely subject to privacy principles (privacy by design, GDPR…) that affect most social science works and are not just about digital or binary data. Moreover, in DH the data pre-exist and are most often already known if they are not collected and formalized. In this specific context, we propose in this track to question the practices resulting from the constitution of corpus and uses of data in humanities.

The book, the museum and the child

Guyancourt | Paris

Call for papers - Information

L’objectif de ce colloque interdisciplinaire est d’explorer les relations entre le livre pour enfants sur l’art et le musée. Il ne s’agit pas d’étudier la représentation littéraire du musée, mais de s’attacher au livre d’art pour enfants dans la mesure où celui-ci se donne, dans un héritage malrucien plus ou moins explicite, comme un « musée imaginaire », afin de penser l’articulation de ces musées de papier avec le musée réel, ses collections, son activité éditoriale, ses actions envers les publics jeunesse et familiaux.

Post-cinema: Practices of research and creation

Journal Images Secondes (Nº3, 2021)

The third issue of the French journal Images secondes questions the heuristic and critical potential of the notion of "post-cinema" in the context of a general reflection on the “reconfigurations” (de Rosa and Hediger, 2016) of the cinematic medium in the age of networked digital media. We agree with Shane Denson and Julia Leyda that if post-cinematic media “concern the emergence of a new 'structure of feeling' or 'episteme', new forms of affect or sensibility”, then “traditional scholarly forms and methods for investigating these issues are unlikely to provide adequate answers” (Denson & Leyda, 2016: 6). For this reason, this issue will give priority to contributions that depart from the traditional forms of academic publishing to develop formats which explore the unique potentialities of online dissemination.

Graphic design. Ways of doing research

The graphic design field has been witnessing a steadily growing interest in research. A new wave of researchers recently emerged. However, without a formally defined discipline, these researchers generally work from within other disciplines, using sometimes very different methods, frameworks and references. This one-day conference will be questioning these theoretical frameworks and methods by those who are designing and using them. What are “designerly ways of knowing” and ways of doing that are specific to graphic design research? The discussions will help us develop a shared paradigm and establish a common ground for the discipline.
