Living together in the Absurd

Making sense when the world doesn’t make sense

According to Camus, the world we live in is absurd. While this can become manifest to us in nearly any situation, Camus is adamant that the world’s absurdity is not owing to any specific features. Rather, it is intrinsically relational and results from the unresolvable tension of two elements : the unbridgeable hiatus between a reason that seeks understanding and a world that remains strictly irrational. If it is our understanding that opens up the world for us, at the same time, the world irrevocably resists being fully grasped. The absurdity thus creates a human desire for clarity that will never see its fulfilment.

Khôra

“Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities”, special issue (33.5)

This special issue of Angelaki: New Work in the Theoretical Humanities - book series invites contributions that revisit the concept of khôra, introduced in Plato’s Timaeus as a “third kind” beyond being and becoming, a matrix, a receptacle, and reinterpreted in contemporary philosophy, most notably by Derrida. Situated between presence and absence, intelligibility and materiality, khôra resists stable categorization while remaining indispensable for thinking space, inscription, and receptivity. We seek papers that engage khôra across disciplines, exploring its implications for spatial theory, media, politics, ecology, and aesthetics, as well as its limits and possible reconfigurations today.

Periodicals and Translations

This presentation highlights the political and partial nature of periodicals by examining the transatlantic reception of Lagerlöf’s translations in English in a selection of literary reviews such as the TLS (1902-), the Review of Reviews (1890 – 1937), the American Review of Reviews (1890 – 1937) and the more specialized American-Scandinavian Review (1913-).

Rethinking Innocent IV and the Crusades: A Multidisciplinary Inquiry

“Rethinking Innocent IV and the Crusades” seeks to reassess the pontificate of Innocent IV (1243–1254) through a sustained examination of his engagement with the crusading movement. We are pleased to invite proposals for 20-minute papers exploring all aspects of the relationship between the pontificate of Innocent IV and the crusading movement. We particularly welcome contributions that adopt interdisciplinary approaches, including (but not limited to) history, legal history, theology, manuscript studies, political thought and institutional history. Particular attention will be moreover giving the proposals concerning the history of heresy and heretical communities during Innocent’s pontificate, the relationship with the Mendicant Orders, with the Mongol World, the promotion and the business of the cross in Italy.

In her own words

the many forms in which women played with writing between the Middle Ages and the early modern period

The organisers of the workshop propose an occasion for reflection and dialogue on the literary and non-literary works of women authors from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, with the intention of welcoming original and unpublished papers that can contribute to enriching current knowledge and advance research on the themes, modes and forms of women's writing. There will be a focus on lesser-known figures and contributions related to the activity of as yet not-famous women.

Les marchés de l’érotisme galant (1650-1720)

Ce colloque se propose d’explorer l’émergence, à partir de la seconde moitié du XVIIᵉ siècle en France, d’un nouveau marché de l’érotisme, en lien avec le développement de la galanterie, entendue ici comme un idéal de sociabilité érigé sur des valeurs telles que le raffinement, l’enjouement et l’égalité entre les sexes. À partir de supports variés – qu’il s’agisse de textes, d’images, de gravures ou de musique – les participant·e·s seront invité·e·s à interroger non seulement les représentations renouvelées qui caractérisent ce nouvel érotisme, mais aussi à en examiner les conditions de production, de diffusion et de réception, en France et, plus largement, à l’échelle européenne.

Animal Behaviour and Environments: Ecological Perspectives from Antiquity to the Present

This conference aims, through a resolutely interdisciplinary approach, to explore the relations between animals and their environments. Bringing together scholars in ancient and medieval philology, the history of zoological knowledge, and contemporary ecological sciences, the event seeks to examine how living beings interact with their surroundings—and how these interactions have been conceptualised, described, and modelled from Antiquity to the present. Two main thematic axes will structure the discussion: 1. Animals and Environments: Ancient and Modern Ecologies; 2. Animal Ecological Awareness: Perception, Umwelt, and Narrative Models

Abundance or Sufficiency?

The Left’s Diverging Paths in the Green Transition

Since the 1970s, environmental constraints, shifting social values, and the crisis of post-war productivism have profoundly challenged the Western left. Once grounded in beliefs in scientific progress, technological innovations, and rising material prosperity, left-wing movements have increasingly been forced to confront planetary limits, rising inequality, and growing public ambivalence toward technoscience. These tensions have crystallised in contemporary debates on the Green Transition, where competing visions of abundance (growth-oriented technological optimism) and sufficiency (degrowth, sobriété, post-productivism) shape political and social antagonisms.

Mobilising Heritage: Dance, Theatre, and Performance in the Age of (In)Tangibility

European Journal of Theatre and Performance, Vol. 8, No. 1

This turn toward the intangible and communal dimensions of heritage exposed deep tensions between preservation and change, expert authority and bottom-up participation, or institutional policies and bodily practices. These frictions are particularly visible in dance and the performing arts, where heritage is literally embodied, enacted, and reimagined through practice. In what this special issue terms the age of (in)tangibility, the performing arts are recognised as intangible heritage precisely as they are rendered tangible through documentation, digitisation, and policy frameworks, revealing a constitutive tension between embodied, relational knowledge that exists only in practice and the material, institutional forms through which heritage is named, governed, and sustained.

The French Revolution and the Sacred

Global and Contemporary Perspectives (18th c. – present)

In the years leading up to the bicentenary commemorations of 1989, a new liberal interpretation of the French Revolution challenged a long-lived socialist one. In contrast to the Marxist view of a “bourgeois revolution” with popular support, the liberal historiography has recurrently emphasized the role of “revolutionary ideology” and the “collective mentality” which led to the episode of the “Terror”. We might take the end of Cold War binary frameworks as an opportunity to move beyond this long-lasting interpretive divide, and to reinvestigate how the Revolution transformed ideas of the sacred and has itself been sacralized.

Fabulous beasts and where to read them

Animals in Byzantine fables, proverbs, and dreambooks

Studies on animals in the Byzantine world are gaining considerable momentum. An increasing number of scholars are exploring and reconstructing zoobiographies through the lens of Byzantine literature. Yet a significant corpus of texts—often unjustly relegated to the category of minora—remains underexplored, despite teeming with animal life. In fables, popular tales, proverb collections, school manuals, rhetorical treatises, and dreambooks, animals play important roles : they drive narrative plots, embody moral and social agency, and serve as crucial vehicles for cultural meaning.

“Scientiae”: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World

Building on Scientiae’s interdisciplinary legacy, and its study of the production and circulation of knowledge, we will underscore the interconnectedness of regions, periods, cultures, and material and intellectual traditions in the period between 1400 and 1800. Although centred around the emergence of modern natural science, Scientiae is intended for scholars working in any area of early-modern intellectual culture. The Scientiae network encompasses the long Renaissance period and seeks to integrate historiographical reflection into an approach that, since its creation, has been firmly rooted in epistemology and the history of science, as well as intellectual history, and the practice of knowledge in dialogue.
