    Silence(d): Illusory Absences and Denied Presences

    The doctoral conference Silence(d): Illusory Absences and Denied Presences aims to stimulate reflection on silence not only as the absence of voice or sound, but as a device that structures narratives, archives, memories, and processes of knowledge production.

    What Can Body Cultures Do?

    Ontological Pluralism in Medicine and the Humanities

    This international conference asks whether the biomedical humanities can intervene in the very constitution of the phenomena they study. We propose to rethink the body as a relational entity shaped by biological, social, environmental, and existential assemblages—moving beyond traditional partitions (body/mind, nature/culture, biological/social) that structure contemporary medicine.

    What Can BodyCultures Do?

    Ontological Pluralism in Medicine and the Humanities

    This conference asks whether the biomedical humanities can intervene in the very constitution of the phenomena they study. We propose to rethink the body as a relational entity shaped by biological, social, environmental, and existential assemblages—moving beyond traditional partitions (body/mind, nature/culture, biological/social) that structure contemporary medicine. These dichotomies, by assigning allegedly separate domains to different disciplines, obscure the fundamental entanglements that characterize embodied existence.

    Lands of the Lost

    A Field Guide to Dinosaur Parks Physical, Fictional, and for the Future

    We invite submissions for Lands of the Lost: A Field Guide to Dinosaur Parks Physical, Fictional, and for the Future, an edited collection that explores extinct animal parks real, imagined, unrealized, or yet to be. Our goal is to bring together multi-disciplinary perspectives to examine parks across time and space, across fact and fiction. We seek to understand how these projects, which reconstitute and enclose long-extinct life forms, intersect with histories of science, capitalism, imperialism, environmental change, and more.

    The Sea Ends Here

    In ancient Greece, the Strait of Gibraltar marked the end of the civilized world and human exploration evinced by its name Non plus ultra (nothing further beyond). With the strait as vantage point, the workshop The sea ends here explores ends and endings connected to movements in and across the Mediterranean and oceans. Where does a sea, a maritime route, a refugee’s journey, a political uprising, or toxic waste end? Can we draw lines in the water? What constitutes an end: a dream or a destination, a physical or man-made barrier, a closure or a new beginning? How do people set, enforce, and cross political and disciplinary boundaries in three-dimensional spaces? Where, when and how futures begin and end? And who grabs futures?

    Alchemy between Science and Magic

    Arcana Naturae n° 7

    For its seventh issue (scheduled for release in 2026), Arcana Naturae (Agorà & Co) will be looking at the “black legend” of alchemy and its intersections with the history of magic and science. Initially regarded as a “sacred art”, then for a time as a legitimate scientific pursuit, alchemy has nonetheless become synonymous with demonic practices in the collective imagination. How can such a turnaround be explained? When did it start, who were its instigators (whether voluntary or involuntary), and what were its consequences?

    The Contrasting Effects of Digitalisation and Artifical Intelligence (AI) on Professional Activities

    ISA (International Sociological Association) 5th Forum of Sociology

    This session examines the effects of digitisation and artificial intelligence (AI) on professional activities. Based on surveys, the papers present these contrasting effects on different professions. The aim is to identify the automation of work processes, to understand to what extent and how AI is making it possible to save time and increase reliability, but also to compete with established professional skills, promising productivity gains while threatening to deskill and disintermediate professionals.

    Les matériaux de l’anthropocène

    Colloque sciences-humanités

    Depuis plusieurs décennies, les sciences de la Terre mettent en évidence les perturbations colossales induites par le productivisme de masse à l’échelle planétaire. Face à ce diagnostic implacable, de nombreuses promesses technoscientifiques plus ou moins crédibles se font jour, allant de l’écologie industrielle à la neutralité carbone. Or, ces différents régimes de promesse semblent omettre un point central des métabolismes anthropocéniques : les matériaux eux-mêmes. Ces derniers sont pourtant des acteurs majeurs de l’Anthropocène. D’un côté, certains d’entre eux (plastiques, béton, alliages, terres rares…) sont des facteurs clés de son avènement, de l’autre, de nouveaux matériaux pourraient jouer un rôle important pour une bifurcation post-Anthropocène. D’où l’objectif de ce colloque international : repenser les matériaux à l’heure de l’Anthropocène. Pour ce faire, il réunit des chercheurs et chercheuses d’horizons variés : philosophie, histoire, économie, sciences des matériaux, biologie, design.

    The Many Uses of DNA. Politics and Policies of Genetics

    The aim of this workshop is to bring together social scientists interested in different aspects of genetics and genomics, to discuss recent developments in the field. In addition to scientific and technological developments in DNA sequencing and the datafication of genetic information, we aim to foster collective discussions on, among other things, the expanding role of genomics in the legal system and the reframing of ancestrality in the age of “genetic testing”.

    Narratives and the Social Sciences

    Interdisciplinary Perspectives

    Storytelling is a human practice that characterizes existence as a whole, responding to educational, social and cultural needs: from memory-making to establishing of relationships, from sharing experiences to forming a self-image, from learning to entertaining. If culture is our toolbox, then storytelling characterizes our way of using these tools to give shape and meaning to the disorder of experiences, and to present our actions as individual and social actors. In everyday life, we are all storytellers and make use of implicit narratives in one way or another. The perspective adopted for this International  conference aims to highlight every possible side of this topic. Anthropologists, sociologists, literary and film critics, semiologists, linguists, economists, aesthetics and image scholars, cultural studies experts and geographers are invited to present their work.

    Applying Qualitative Research Methods to Science and Management

    The book is a collection of qualitative research themes and methods used by researchers and practitioners in science and management. The concepts include methods and methodologies applied to qualitative research in a variety of contexts. Each concept deserves a separate chapter written by a researcher or practitioner with extensive experience in the field. The book aims to provide students and practitioners with an overview of the issues involved in qualitative research, based on the most recent academic research. It presents ground-breaking research by leading academics and field experts from around the world. It can serve as a theoretical and conceptual foundation for researchers interested in qualitative issues, and for scientists wishing to gain a business, political or industrial perspective in relation to the various themes of qualitative investigation and analysis.

    Individual and Collective Issues in the History and Philosophy of Economics

    Workshop organized prior to the 7th “International Conference Economics and Philosophy”

    From the individual to the collective level, is there an insurmountable step ? The categories of “individual” and “collective” can be useful to shed light on the objects of study in economic methodology and the history of economic thought. Whether it is for policy-design or for scientific claims, can one start from the individual level to deduce policies or scientific claims at the collective level ? Can we explain macro-level phenomena simply by looking at their micro-foundations ? The aim of this workshop will be to analyze how these relations shape economics as a scientific field. We, thus, encourage proposals that aim to interrogate the individual among the collective – as in the micro-foundation of macroeconomics models for instance – and vice versa the collective among the individual – as in the performativity of economic theories to the individual for instance. The aim of this workshop is to bring together young researchers to question the lenses by which one can analyze economics, philosophy of economics and history of economic thought.

    The challenges of historical and biomedical research in medical collections and biobanks

    In the context of the Neverending infectious diseases project, we have been confronted with the challenges of using a historical medical collection for biomedical research. Historical collections have a rich potential for current and future research, but their use is far from straightforward. This is a relatively unexplored topic and as such, this workshop proposes to take concrete situations into account in order to consider the status of historical medical collections and consider them from medical, historical and social science perspectives.

    Capitalization and the Start-Up Economy

    Critical Perspectives on Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Venture Capitalism

    For the past twenty years, social sciences have studied financialization as a process affecting many (if not almost all) aspects of contemporary societies. More recently, research at the crossroads of sociology, economics and the science and technology studies (STS) developed a new understanding of financialization, centered on how “things are turned into assets” (Birch and Muniesa 2020). Such a perspective provides useful tools for critically examining the start-up economy and emerging business practices related to venture capital funding. This workshop aims to bring together scholars from science and technology studies and beyond who work to develop a transversal perspective across various cultural sites and practices. Through different formats (keynote, round table, panels), the workshop will offer a setting to conduct in-depth discussions on capitalization.

    Computing The Human

    The aim of this conference is to open a discussion on the topic of “computing the human.” It is intended as a “melting pot” for interdisciplinary debate reflecting the complexity of the issues : cultural history of computing, human-computer interaction (HCI), and emotion programming, all framed by the ethos of diversity and inclusion in computing and artificial intelligence. Contributions are welcomed that focus on the ideas, analyses, and technologies that materialize the visions in various time-spaces, including laboratories, artistic performances and exhibitions, archives, digital spaces, the imagination of more-than-human worlds, artificial bodies and computed emotions, ethical dilemmas and statements, and regulations. The discussion will be fed with concrete research cases, fieldwork, projects, and analyses.
