Cognitive literary studies. Theories, methodologies and challenges
Considering the eclecticism that defines cognitive literary studies as beneficial, we invite literary critics as well as researchers from all branches of cognitive science interested in this field to reflect together on the status, the theories, the methodologies and the challenges that cognitive literary studies are currently facing.

Life and Mind. Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy
Despite the interest in exploring Aristotelian themes in contemporary philosophy, there has been no coordinated attempt to survey or integrate the ways in which Aristotle’s approach to understanding life, mind, and the relation between them might inform and enrich our own. The objective of this workshop is to explore the way in which Aristotelian thought can brought to bear on contemporary research on the much-debated issue of the so-called mind-body problem and on its implications for the conceptualization of notions such as that of organism, animal and human perception and action, human moral agency, and the relation between mind and life.

Mind and Body Across Time and Discipline
The two central ways of conceptualizing psyche–soma relations in the western tradition were, and still are, the Platonic and the Aristotelian paradigms. According to Plato, a human being is a combination of two distinct substances, a mortal body and an immortal soul. According to Aristotle, a human being is a unified substance: the soul (psuche) is the form of the body, and to describe the soul is to describe the characteristic powers of human beings, just as describing the soul of a pine tree is to describe the characteristic powers of pine trees. Human beings are seen on a continuous scale with all other beings, and to say they have a rational soul roughly means that they have a linguistic capacity that other beings lack.

Art, aesthetics, psychoanalysis
Artefilosofia Journal
The first question that comes to mind when addressing the relationship between art and psychoanalysis is the following: By what right and on what grounds, or yet what entitles psychoanalysis to take upon itself to issue judgment upon art and/or upon artists? This first question immediately unfolds into many. To what extent can a theory of the psychological unconscious extrapolate its primary field of application to head down to theaters, museums, concert rooms, canvases, sculptures, installations and so forth? Being an eminently clinical discipline, do we run the risk of transforming psychoanalysis into a worldview? Into a totalitarian system capable of deciphering the meaning of everything that presents itself upon the suspicious gaze and attentive ears of the psychoanalyst?

Significant Figures in the Formation of Transcultural Psychiatry
This workshop endeavours to comparatively evaluate the ideas and practices of some of the major contributors to the formation of the international discipline of transcultural psychiatry in the mid-twentieth century, a time that saw the transition from the colonial to post-colonial periods in many parts of the world, which had a direct effect on how mental illnesses were conceived of by psychiatrists sensitive to cultural differences.

The Why Linguistics Conference
This conference proposes a constructive take on the question "Why?", as in, why are we doing what we are doing as linguists, and what is our contribution to knowledge? Or, equally well, what is the contribution of a particular domain of linguistics to other disciplines, and in turn, their contribution to linguistics? To what end do linguistics and any such neighboring fields of research or industry converge in their methods, results and problem setting? We welcome ideas both from within the linguistics community and fields of research or industry that involve the study of human language.

In the Late Middle Ages and Early Modern Period
The brain has, throughout history, been considered an important achievement in the creation of man, although often secondary to the soul and the heart. Our knowledge about how the brain has been conceived in the past is, however, very fractional, especially for the late Medieval and early modern periods. This conference looks to re-situate the question of knowing the brain anew in a dialogue between medicine (anatomy, physiology and pathology) and natural philosophy (inter alia physics, biology and psychology).

Freud, a century after Totem and Taboo
Anthropology, culture and cognition
Although hardly avoiding intense criticism by anthropologists such as Boas and Malinowski, Freud’s theories did, however, have a profound impact upon anthropology, receiving an enthusiastic reception among Culture and Personality theorists during the middle decades of the 20th century. Leading anthropologists of this trend relied on Freud’s contributions to develop approaches based on the relationship between culture and personality, expanding their views on the importance of culture in personality formation, on the constitution of culture patterns and on the formulation of national character. One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion.

Images of Animate Movement. Representations of Life
The fascinating paradox that we can see life in abstract images is the starting point of this conference. In a drawing of just a few lines, we can immediately recognize a human figure walking. A moving quadrangle can be seen as a crawling caterpillar. And some well-placed moving points are directly joined together in the form of a dancing couple. Again and again, we are astonished that we can actually see a creature moving in the image – even when the image is of such a reduced and simple nature or when it is not even a temporal moving image. How this impression of animate movement can be explained is what is explored at this conference: how can a simple line or form suddenly transform into something so specifically meaningful? How is this transition – this coming to life – to be described? How can it be constructed in the first place? The conference "Images of Animate Movement. Representations of Life" brings together different domains of knowledge in order to approach the phenomenon of animate movement and its images in its complexity in a new way. -

Les sciences humaines et sociales en Grèce et en Turquie. Outils, enjeux et orientations
En cette deuxième année de ce séminaire consacré à la construction des savoirs en sciences humaines et sociales en Grèce et en Turquie, l’histoire reste au cœur de la réflexion. Nous nous intéresserons aux thématiques privilégiées de la recherche historique actuelle dans les universités grecques et turques. Nous ferons également une place aux travaux portant sur « l’histoire de l’histoire », en présentant diverses approches critiques de la construction des sciences historiques. Dans un objectif de croisement disciplinaire, des sondages dans des domaines voisins tels que l’anthropologie, la sociologie ou les sciences religieuses seront poursuivis. En 2009-2010, deux ou trois séances seront consacrées à l’introduction de la psychanalyse dans les pays mis en étude. -

« Des hommes et des rats ». Animal et animalité dans l’histoire des sciences du psychisme
"Of Men and Mice". Animals, Animality and the "Psy Sciences".
La Société d’histoire des savoirs sur le psychisme organise les 11 et 12 juin 2009 une journée d’études intitulée « "Des hommes et des rats". Animal et animalité dans l’histoire des sciences du psychisme » ("Of Men and Mice". Animals, Animality and the "Psy Sciences"; English speakers: see translation in the call for papers). Il s’agira d’étudier la relation ambivalente que les sciences du psychisme ont entretenue avec le problème de l’animalité au cours de leur histoire (l’expression « sciences du psychisme » étant ici entendue au sens large : la triade psychiatrie, psychologie, psychanalyse, mais aussi tous les savoirs qui ont prétendu faire science sur le psychisme). Car si les sciences « psy » sont censées porter sur l’étude voire le soin de l’esprit humain, excluant donc a priori l’animalité de leur champ de recherche ; elles n’ont en réalité jamais cessé de s'en préoccuper. De l’étude de la « psychologie animale », à l’emploi de chevaux ou de dauphins pour traiter divers désordres mentaux, les animaux ont ainsi tenu des rôles très divers chez les spécialistes « psy », rôles que cette journée se propose d’étudier, analysant ce que la place de l’animal dans les savoirs « psy » révèle de leur histoire. -

Standardizing Psychoactive Drugs And Drug Uses. 1900-1970
Psychoactive drugs and drug treatments, within psychiatry, as well as those that have entered the public domain, have begun increasingly to attract the interest of historical researchers. An aspect of this research is the search for generalized concepts that can be used to understand the dynamics of the life-cycles of drugs. One such concept, and the focus of a new research program, sponsored by the European Science Foundation, is that of 'standardization'. -

Writing the history of psychiatry after 1945
L’histoire de la psychiatrie au 20e siècle est marquée par un vide historiographique remarquable comparée aux 18e et 19e siècles. L’implication de la psychiatrie dans la politique nationale-socialiste en Allemagne et dans les territoires occupée en est une exception : la focalisation sur cette problématique semble avoir conduit à un certain délaissement du reste du siècle. En effet à part cette période, le récit historiographique sur la psychiatrie au 20e siècle n’est guère structuré, ou alors il manque de visibilité, divisé entre différentes épistémologies nationales. Partant du constat d’un déficit de la recherche sur la psychiatrie de l’après 1945, régulièrement soulevé dans la littérature récente , ce workshop vise à effectuer un premier tour d’horizon. Il s’entend dès lors articuler autour de deux questions : la chronologie et le cadre paradigmatique.
