  Inhabiting

  "Perspective" Journal 2021 – n°2

  This call for paper asks the question of what it means to inhabit : to inhabit a space, a territory, one’s home or one’s body, whether we are dealing with far away frontiers, or the outlines of intimacy ; to inhabit one’s life, one’s society/ies, one’s epoch, in what inhabiting means in terms of being present in one’s world, for and with one another, to face circumstances as they stand. In a time when, across the globe, entire populations are confined to their homes, Perspective issues an invitation to revisit the visual and imaginary plasticity of inhabiting : “to occupy a place of settled residence or habitat,” so states the dictionary, suggesting habit, repetition, regularity ; but also occupying persons, inhabiting them, animating them, moving them.

  Institutional critique and its manifestations

  La critique institutionnelle fait actuellement l’objet d’une vaste discussion qui reflète la polysémie du terme, défini à la fois comme un mouvement artistique, une méthode d’investigation et de critique, et un mode opératoire. Cependant, cette nébuleuse conceptuelle opère dans une géographie incertaine, principalement occidentale mais aux influences et aux ramifications diverses, et dont les manifestations ne sont pas toujours identifiées comme telles. Y a-t-il des zones géographiques où la critique institutionnelle serait restée invisible, ou se serait manifestée via des systèmes lexicaux différents ? Peut-on apposer le label « critique institutionnelle » à n’importe quelle manifestation critiquant les institutions ? Cette journée d’étude se propose d’éclairer, à travers diverses manifestations dans des contextes géographiques et historiques différents, les parcours de la critique institutionnelle dans l’histoire de l’art contemporain.

  Call for papers - History

  The Middle Ages of the Social Sciences

  The present issue of the Revue d’histoire des sciences humaines intends to gather inquiries into specific uses of the Middle Ages in twentieth century social sciences. The reference to the Middle Ages may result from a scholarly acquaintance with the medieval world, as well as from tools forged by medieval studies. Alternatively, it may be correlated with intricate cultural mediations, for example through religion or literature. We would like to invite the practitioners of the various disciplines of the SSH (psychoanalysis, sociology, historical anthropology, history, the history of science and knowledge, art history, and philosophy, among others) to contribute to this issue either with a case study, or with a broader methodological or epistemological reflection on their scientific and knowledge practices envisioned from an historical point of view.
