    (Cyber)bullying

    Le colloque international sur le (cyber)harcèlement (Cicy) envisage le phénomène de manière large, incluant les dynamiques de harcèlement (scolaire, moral, sexuel), de cyberharcèlement, de violence et de haine en ligne, dans des contextes sociaux variés et au sein de différents groupes sociaux. Les communications proposées ont tout d'abord trait aux enjeux définitionnels du (cyber)harcèlement et aux actions de lutte ou de prévention développées pour y faire face. Une attention est également portée aux rôles que jouent les affects, les émotions, les algorithmes ou encore les rapports sociaux de domination (dans une perspective intersectionnelle) dans les violences en ligne.

    L’emprise de la communication

    The Grip of Communication

    Pour ses dix ans d’existence, la revue Politiques de communication organise un colloque international dont l’ambition est de proposer une réflexion d’ensemble sur « l’emprise de la communication » dans la structuration des espaces sociaux contemporains. Il propose un bilan des travaux sur l’évolution des pratiques et représentations sociales de la communication et leurs implications organisationnelles. Il propose également d’interroger les rapports sociaux de domination - de genre, de classe, de « race », de génération et autres - dont la communication est un outil et parfois un révélateur.

    Anthropology and photography

    “Civilisations” journal (vol. 72, 2023)

    We are looking for contributions that explore the technical, methodological, social, political, scientific and ethical aspects arising from the use of photography in anthropological research, as well as reflections on the questions raised by the “persistence of images” (Le Gall 2014) that go beyond the contexts of academic production. This issue seeks to explore the relation between the anthropological desire to understand humankind, and the practice of photography and will feature articles focusing on the photographic process from four different angles, which may be interpreted quite broadly: 1-The anthropologist-photographer, 2-The anthropologist and photographies, 3-Photographic anthropology, 4-Anthropology in photographs.

    Enemy

    Contemporary Societies and Domestic Threats

    This colloquium proposes to examine, from an interdisciplinary perspective, contemporary societies' relationship to internal threats. What happens when individuals, groups or segments of the population threaten to use violence, or actually do so, by turning against other groups or the state? What happens when the state itself goes 'into battle' by targeting groups and confronting them as 'enemies'? These situations cover a large number of historical experiences, which are at first sight irreducible and incommensurable, and are even more difficult to define given that their qualifications are almost always matters of struggle between the actors involved. This conference aims at bringing them together, gathering and confronting investigations devoted to sequences of this type in order to question these situations of hostility.

    The Spaces of the Sacred

    The Spaces of the Sacred offers a space for reflection and debate for anyone who understands sacred spaces as laboratories for architectural, urban and landscape research. This definition includes places of worship, funerary spaces and memorial spaces, as well as urban spaces and related landscapes. Defining sacred spaces as a laboratory implies studying both the design and the reuse of cult spaces.

    Protestant Revival Movements in the Francophone World (Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Pacific)

    Origins, Currents, Developments and Diversification from the Nineteenth Century to the Present

    This Congress, intends to broaden that research to include, in addition to Europe, Francophone Africa and Madagascar, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. From the beginning of the nineteenth century, this geographical and linguistic area (like others) has been to the benefit of the deployment of revival movements through mission. These movements have generated new Christendoms and ecclesial communities, many of which have emancipated themselves from inherited/exported models. Awakenings have taken specific forms and diversified. Persons and groups within traditional cultures and religions have shaped new antitheses (rupture) and/or syntheses (continuity). These Réveil/Revival influenced forms and visions have enriched the world’s religious heritage. This conference will give attention to the origins, currents, development, and diversification of the Réveil/Revival movements/networks/traditions from the Nineteenth Century to the Present, focusing on the Francophone world.

    Music Across Borders

    Artists, Industries and Representations in and beyond Europe

    In recognition of the ease with which music crosses political, geographical and temporal borders, both by design and more informally, our conference scrutinizes the reasons for and consequences of this movement and exchange, in Europe or between Europe and other continents, without disregarding the struggles and tensions that sometimes emerge when music endeavours or threatens to go beyond those borders.

    Art’s Concern

    Towards New Alternative Thinking Spheres

    We believed that aesthetics is a way of cutting any crisscrossing between cultural roles and social discrimination ones. The problem today and post to the state of great confusion quite salient in self-shaking state, has become intense. We consequently must deliver art from aesthetics not as a discourse but as an identification system that aesthetics put it on art. The question is how to interpret “art concern” as one of the main crises? Art is losing its strongholds; it has become hard for art to preserve its place within cultural production.

    “The War Has Taken Place”

    « Chiasmi International » - Numéro 25

    Dans son article intitulé « La guerre a eu lieu », paru dans le premier numéro des Temps modernes au lendemain du second conflit mondial, Maurice Merleau-Ponty décrivait différents aspects caractérisant la vie d’avant-guerre en France face à la possibilité d’un conflit déclenché par l’expansionnisme allemand : insouciance, incrédulité, méfiance envers « la politique », individualisme. En outre, il y soulignait les différentes attitudes qui avaient mûri sous l’occupation nazie (impossibilité de « rester neutres », nouvelle idée – non plus individualiste – de la liberté, engagement), tout en identifiant leurs conséquences sur les temps à venir (conscience du poids de l’histoire, des institutions, « de nos rapports multiples avec autrui et avec le monde »). Merleau-Ponty nous léguait ainsi des réflexions précieuses que nous sommes sollicités à reprendre et réélaborer aujourd’hui à l’aune de la guerre en Ukraine déclenchée par l’invasion russe unanimement et légitimement condamnée.

    The fragment and its rhythms

    Writing practices, sites of thought, acts of resistance

    The 2023 edition of Post-Scriptum’s conference aims to explore the possibilities, limits and singularities of a fragmentation of discourse, be it narrative, poetical or critical. Through this conference’s various contributions, we would like to reflect on the following questions: what is produced by such a shattering of discourse? Does the fragmentary form create an opening, give motion to creativity? Offering a different epistemology, outside of the frame, can the fragment disturb an intellectual or creative landscape? Can it give the opportunity to retake speech, or give power to rewritings and counter-speeches?

    XXXVIIe conférence de la Société internationale pour la sociologie des religions

    Brazil, an independent country ?

    Rethinking “dependency theory” 200 years after 1822

    On the occasion of the bicentennial of Brazil’s proclamation of independence (September 7,1822), this conference examines the paradigm of “dependency theory.” We will consider both how Brazilian intellectuals contributed to dependency theory and what their analyses offer for thinking about Brazil’s independence and place in the world today. The oeuvre of Brazilian dependentistas insisted on the impossibility of understanding the history of Brazil and Latin America without considering the complex dynamics between the national and the international, between domestic political and economic structures and the broader world system of which they were part. This conference, 200 years after Brazil’s formal independence, evaluates the promise and limitations of their analysis, at once historicizing dependency theory and using the authors associated with it to better understand the present.

Il s’agira d’interroger, dans une perspective résolument multidisciplinaire croisant la littérature, la sociologie de la littérature et les études de genre, le champ littéraire dans lequel évoluent les œuvres des femmes, partie intégrante d’un héritage invisible.
