Film Festivals and Middle Eastern Cinemas
“Regards” Journal
For the better part of a century, international film festivals have been essential to the global circulation of Middle Eastern cinema. Entanglements between festivals and cinema from the region date back to at least 1946, when the Egyptian film Dunia (dir. Mohammad Karim, 1946) screened at the first full edition of the Cannes Film Festival. Since then, films from the Arab world, Iran, and Turkey have been mainstays on the festival circuit, premiering and screening at the Big Five (Berlin, Cannes, Sundance, Toronto, and Venice), as well as smaller festivals around the world.

Boundaries and Belonging in Central Africa and Beyond
At this conference, we seek to highlight questions around the nature of boundaries in Central Africa and beyond - whether that means physical, political, and communal boundaries or disciplinary boundaries. How do boundaries function in the past and present within the region and in its relationships with the rest of the continent? What might it look like to build more effective bridges across boundaries to address the pressing political, economic, and social issues in Central Africa and its diasporas?

Placebo, Hypnosis, and Functional Disorders
Bridging basic research and clinical innovation
The international conference Placebo, Hypnosis and Functional Disorders aims to articulate three domains that have historically evolved along distinct trajectories: research on placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis and suggestion, and the broad field of psychosomatic medicine. These domains are increasingly converging toward shared theoretical frameworks, while also exhibiting a diversity of methodological and experimental approaches rooted in their respective disciplinary traditions.

Governance of International Film Festivals: From Rules to Legitimacy
The central issue addressed by this volume lies in the tension between the proclaimed “international” character of film festivals and the absence of a binding international legal framework regulating their activities, selection mechanisms, jury appointments, conflict-of-interest management, and transparency procedures. How do festivals construct their legitimacy? On what foundations is the credibility of their outcomes built?

Scholarship, prize and job offer - Ethnology, anthropology
Le projet Intimate Colonies (IC) place la dimension intime et familiale de la question coloniale au cœur de son analyse, dans le but d’apporter des éclairages originaux sur les significations et les enjeux des héritages et des mémoires coloniales dans les sociétés européennes contemporaines. Le projet se distingue des travaux existants en réunissant, au sein d’un même cadre analytique, les mémoires coloniales des familles issues des sociétés colonisées et de celles associées aux sociétés colonisatrices, reflétant ainsi la réalité multiculturelle des sociétés européennes partagées par ces populations, plutôt que d’aborder un seul versant de ce système relationnel.

On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals
Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives
This event aims to assess the current state of research on the identification of individuals in prehistoric archaeology, exploring methods to identify individuals from archaeological remains, whether lithic materials or other types of artifacts. It will also discuss the advantages, limitations, and future potential of these approaches, while considering what insights they can provide about the social and economic organization of past societies.

Pragmatics and Social Justice in Africa
Although social justice is still a desire in most global communities, it is a more serious concern in Africa where multiple social, economic and political obstacles wrapped in ideological realities undermine the right for social justice. Thus, a pragmatic approach, with a multidisciplinary dimension, enhances the understanding of social justice, and its interfaces with issues of identities, ethnicity, sociality, culture, ecology and power dynamics. This 4th conference of the African Pragmatics Association seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and critical thinking on the intricate and multidimensional relationship between pragmatics and social justice in Africa.

The 1st International Forum on Design, Desert, and Sustainable Development (4D) offers a transdisciplinary reflection on the desert as a space for creation, innovation, and resilience. Held in Tozeur from February 4 to 7, 2026, the forum brings together researchers, artists, designers, engineers, and local stakeholders to explore ecological, social, and aesthetic challenges related to arid environments. It examines the role of design in the sustainable transformation of the desert through three key approaches: the desert as an in situ creative laboratory, an in vitro catalyst for innovation, and an in vivo space for learning.

Photography from the Struggles for Independence
Practices, circulations and aesthetics
The aim of this colloquium is to highlight the histories of photography generated during the processes of decolonization, while rethinking methodological and aesthetic approaches to the medium that are still too Western-centric. What has happened to the production and circulation of photographers and their images since the independence struggles? How did new iconographies, new aesthetics and, with them, new networks of visual exchange develop, complicating the one-sided visibilities and photographic circulations from the “South” to the “North” established during the colonial periods?

As doubly “evil”—captive and at the same time wicked, joyfully heinous or mysteriously ominous, systematically negative yet dangerously prankish—thoughts will therefore be the multiple objects of the 12th issue of Kaiak. A philosophical journey, which intends to investigate, in an anarchic and unpredictable manner, the ontological as well as psychosocial scope of their presumed inferiority to the limpid greatness of the intellect, their mute plurality, their unspeakable and obsessive presence in the world of culture.

Ordinary writings: writing and reading practices in domestic and public spaces
Living in a ‘written society’ means not only that social relations and the organisation of personal life are structured by the written word, but also that the written word is omnipresent in our environment and that we live in spaces saturated by a multiplicity of written documents, the production and reception of which shape our everyday activities. The aim of this congress is to examine the way in which ordinary written documents help to build and maintain a shared society.

Translation and Translators in the Colonial Context
Roles, Functions and Narratives
The chronological reading of colonial contexts allows us to identify the “organic” link between translation and the colonial project, before, during and after the military occupation. Translation has acquired several functions; highlighting the role of the translator between the narratives of the colonizer and that of the colonized. Until 2000, seventy percent of the world's population had a “colonial” past, either as a colonizer or as a colonized. (Etemad, 258), which suggests that more than seventy percent of the world's population have been affected, and perhaps still are, through the prism of translation. The Conference will attempt to understand how translation was put at the service of the colonial project? What translation approaches have been adopted by translators and interpreters? How did translational discourse influence the cultures of the occupier and the occupied?
