Special issue of “Journal of Energy History” (JEHRHE)
If historians of art have generally investigated complex dynamics between light and dark more than historians, light is still too often analyzed alone, without reference to darkness. For these reasons, this special issue of Journal of Energy History (JEHRHE) aims to challenge this reductionistic framework, which simplifies the complex variety of historical (and contemporary) cases, in order to explore the nuances of light and darkness created by candle, kerosene, oil, gas, and electricity and therefore tease out the diverse, sometimes contradictory, meanings and experiences of light(s) and darkness(es) in the past. We thus seek to study the juxtaposition of light and dark, placing this contrast in dialogue within broader conversations in the history of energy, environmental history, the history of technology, and related fields.

“It doesn’t even hurt!” Mock battles and the aesthetics of violence in traditional festivals
Revue « Ethnologie française »
By using the phrase “mock battle”, we propose to examine a large set of contemporary practices which display ritualized competitions according to very specific modes. The issue would like to gather articles which, on different fields, analyze practices consisting in “pretending to fight” and which display violence in a figurative, aesthetic, metaphorical or euphemistic way.

"The Balfour Declaration" : What centenary
In order to address this notorious Declaration, we propose a debate on the historical, political and geostrategic circumstances that led to the Balfour Declaration, and how practical politics influences the making of Britain’s foreign policy. The Balfour Declaration and its ramifications at the local and global levels could be tackled with reference to a myriad of theoretical frameworks such as the postcolonial/political theory, new historicism, ethnography, to name but a few.

Party? What party? Socio-anthropologie journal issue 38
Revue « Socio-anthropologie », n°38
Le numéro 38 de la revue Socio-Anthropologie ambitionne d’identifier et de décrire les modalités contemporaines dans lesquelles la fête s’exprime. Que nous disent les fêtes de ce que nous sommes et des imaginaires modernes du rassemblement, de l’euphorie, de la transgression et de la gratuité ? Comment penser les mutations et continuités, les déstructurations et recompositions du phénomène festif et que nous disent-elles de notre société contemporaine ?
