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.

Proposals incorporating image corpora are welcome.

Emergent Urbanism and Urban Futures in the Global South
“City Development : Issues and Best Practices” Journal
The issue examines how urban forms emerge and configure possible futures in contexts shaped by partial infrastructures, social and environmental vulnerabilities, and the reconfiguration of public action. The issue welcomes empirically grounded work — fieldwork, case studies, and comparative approaches — on cities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean, in dialogue with contemporary debates in urban studies, the sociology of space, and critical geography.

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?

Humanités numériques et défis de l’émergence africaine
Ce colloque sur les humanités numériques en Afrique est un cadre d'échanges qui, au-delà des perspectives interdisciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires, se veut une occasion d'échanges en vue de creuser les limites imposées par le numérique et les sciences sociales. Dans une approche inclusive, il s'agit de montrer en quoi la dématérialisation et la démocratisation de l'information s'érigent en des questions épistémologiques sur le numérique, sur le modèle d’éducation et de culture dans une Afrique en plein essor. Les discussions porteront essentiellement sur le numérique, les lettres, les arts, la pédagogie, la recherche, les sciences sociales et l’émergence de l’Afrique.

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?

L’Algérie des anthropologues, un « programme » en perspective
Espaces, figures, pratiques et terrains ethnographiques après l’Indépendance
Dans les actes du colloque sur l’avenir de l’anthropologie organisé par le CRASC à Timimoun en 1999, Mohamed Brahim Salhi écrit : « La question de l’avenir de l’anthropologie en Algérie est en soi un programme » (2002, p. 87). Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, qu’en est-il de ce programme ? Quelles nouvelles orientations et quels nouveaux horizons de recherche propose-t-il ? En actualisant et en élargissant les questionnements autour de l’anthropologie de l’Algérie et en Algérie, ce numéro s’intéresse au renouvellement et aux développements dans la période postcoloniale de la discipline dans une double dimension nationale et internationale. Il souhaite mettre l’accent sur le devenir d’une branche des sciences sociales sous tension, aussi bien en termes d’enseignement que de recherche.

Tant dans l’espace journalistique que sur les murs mêmes de la ville, la caricature politique et l’illustration graphique constituent des sources de la culture visuelle qui condensent et montrent les batailles symboliques qui se livraient dans la rue, allant même jusqu’à redéfinir les codes et les pratiques utilisés dans l’espace public. À la croisée de l’histoire politique, de l’histoire de l’art, des études culturelles et de l’analyse urbaine, ce colloque propose d’examiner les façons dont la caricature politique, la satire visuelle et l’illustration graphique ont influencé la représentation et les usages de l’espace urbain au cours du « long XIXe siècle » espagnol.

At first glance, the concept of “anonymity” may seem simple: any actor who acts without revealing their identity is acting anonymously. However, this superficial simplicity hides considerable technological, social, and political complexity. What conditions make anonymity necessary for expression, cooperation, and judgment? The cultural, ethical, and narrative dimensions of “anonymity” in contemporary digital environments affect both administrative and creative life. With a perspective that combines the techniques of law with those of sociology, politicalscience, cultural studies, and narratology, this project seeks to uncover the cultural transformations that underpin “anonymity’ in practice, through its new or emerging instruments and narrative features.
