Exercer le pouvoir au féminin (1226-1252)
Given the exceptional position held by Blanche of Castile, widow of the late Louis VIII and mother of the new king, powerful woman, within Latin Christendom for nearly a quarter of a century, the anniversary of the start of her ‘regency’ seemed to us a fitting occasion to highlight recent advances in the historiography of Blanche of Castile. This conference therefore aims to shed light on his reign – from the scale of his personal domain to that of Latin Christendom – and his life’s journey, from his Castilian origins to his final resting place in the abbeys of Maubuisson and Le Lys, and indeed right up to the present day.

Textual Bodies: Incarnation, Corporeality, and Affective Materialities through Literature
6th Meeting of Young Researchers of the SELGyC
In the contemporary context, marked by technological, cultural, and epistemological transformations that reconfigure our relationship with sensory experience, the body, and materiality, literature continues to function as a privileged space for critical reflection. In the face of discourses that tend to split, mediate, or dematerialize human experience, literary texts insist on the centrality of the body as a site of vulnerability, affect, and meaning-making.

Revue Intermédialités - numéro spécial
Ce numéro d’Intermédialités s’appuie sur le concept de réutilisation (repurposing) en l’abordant dans une perspective située et informée par les études de genre. Nous sollicitons des contributions qui proposent une relecture interdisciplinaire du concept de réutilisation du point de vue de l’activisme féministe et LGBTQIA+, en s’intéressant aux manières dont il peut contribuer à la création, la consolidation et la préservation de pratiques et d’actions collaboratives, résistantes et relationnelles à travers différents champs, disciplines et médias.

Masculine Insubordinations: Creation, Contestation, and Plurality in the Arts and Literature
The conference seeks to explore how dissident masculinities—whether plural, vulnerable, inventive, non-binary, trans, queer, racialized, or otherwise minoritized—are represented, staged, or problematized in artistic and literary creation.

Acquérir, montrer et voir les œuvres érotiques
Le musée n’est pas seulement un lieu d’exposition : il est aussi un espace où se négocient sans cesse la visibilité et la valeur des œuvres. En suivant la thèse formulée par Walter M. Kendrick – selon laquelle l’isolement d’images jugées inmontrables a contribué, paradoxalement, à constituer la catégorie autonome de la pornographie –, ce colloque propose d’explorer le rôle du musée dans la construction et la reconfiguration des regards genrés portés sur les objets liés à la sexualité et/ou au désir (érotiques et pornographiques).

Queering the Archive - Queering the Exhibition
Ce colloque souhaite porter l’attention sur des pratiques alternatives liées aux collections, aux mémoires et héritages minoritaires. Il invite à explorer ce que pourrait signifier la possibilité d’un « agir queer », d’une « ouverture à ce qui dévie » (Sara Ahmed) pour cet ensemble de pratiques qui accompagnent fonds d’archives et collections. À la suite de Jennifer Tybuczy, nous voulons « appeler à, décrire et mettre en œuvre une pratique de la mise en exposition queer ».

Queering the Archive - Queering the Exhibition
Our symposium wish to focus on alternative practices relating minority collections, memories and heritages. It is about to consider ways of challenging the dominant norms in terms of heritage constitution, exhibition and the narratives they contribute to impose. Taking into account the diversities of gender and sexuality, as well as their intersections with other registers of discrimination, the queer field of thought plays a full part in this contestation. We therefore invite the contributors to the symposium to explore what the possibility of a ‘queer agency’ might mean, of an openness to ‘the object that slips away’ (Sara Ahmed) for this set of practices that accompany archives and collections. Following Jennifer Tybuczy, we want to ‘call for, describe, and enact queer display praxis’. We encourage contributions from all fields of human sciences and archival, curatorial and artistic practices. Our aim is to fertilise a multidisciplinary and diachronic approach to the addressed themes.

IASPM 23rd international conference
This event will be the 23rd edition of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music's biennal conference. Recording played a central role in the establishment of the field of popular music research. The analysis of recordings as 'texts' of popular music has naturally been one of the main areas of research over the last forty years. Beyond recording as a process involving studios or various pieces of technical equipment, our conference is also an invitation to look at the recording of popular music in global and cultural terms. Recording means keeping traces or tracks, a practice which can also be understood in a broader, anthropological sense: how are the traces kept or preserved? How are they also sometimes erased? How is socio-cultural diversity “recorded” or not in popular music?

In the wake of Madeline Caviness's seminal article, what assessment can be made of the fertile links between the Middle Ages and feminism? In its wake, the next issue of Perspectives médiévales invites us to take a fresh look at the reciprocal contributions of medievalism and feminism, as part of an epistemological and historical reflection on the Middle Ages and the present. The aim of this issue is to explore contemporary feminisms by exploring the Middle Ages and their representations. In other words, in what way is the Middle Ages an object of investigation both for feminist thought and by feminist thought?

En femenino. Arte y mujeres en la Edad Media
XVI Jornadas Complutenses de Arte Medieval
In its sixteenth edition, the Conference will be devoted to highlighting the role of Women in medieval artistic creation. This role will be understood in the broadest possible way: from patronage to creation and reception, as a channel for power strategies, a transmitter of science or a generator of specific iconographic types, regardless of their active or passive role in all this creative dynamic. Women and Gender will serve as the priority vectors to articulate the scientific content of Conference sessions.

Gay, lesbian and queer musicological research: Modest veil on classical music?
In the wake of the second generation of English gay, lesbian and queer studies, we aim to promote the questioning of French musicological practices, and then to produce new thought about composers, works and aesthetics, specifically in the classical music area. Would the scarcity of French musicological research dedicated to these issues be the result of a phenomenon of invisibilization? This epistemological point of view will allow us to reconsider Susan McClary’s words: to what degree could the disclosure or the concealment of a sexual orientation or gender identity enlighten musicological perspectives?

Women's rituals and power spheres in the American viceroyalties
Dossier temático del número 11 (2023) de Espacio, Tiempo y Forma. Serie VII. Historia del Arte
La convocatoria del dossier Rituales femeninos y ámbitos de poder en los virreinatos americanos pretende reunir una serie de estudios de caso o detenidas revisiones en los que se aborde este fenómeno como cuestión de género desde el marco de una perspectiva comparada. Las líneas generales que se han establecido van desde la construcción de un imaginario político en torno a la soberana, el papel desempeñado por la virreina en sus dominios de influencia hasta la agencia de las mujeres criollas o de procedencia peninsular en las cortes virreinales.

Photography and models: histories of the nude
The sixth issue of the journal Photographica aims to explore the question of the nude model in photography. Following Wendy Grossman’s study of the model Adrienne Fidelin (published in Photographica no. 2 (April 2021) in a study that is both deconstructivist and analytical of the uses of the medium) and building on a reflection on the very genre of nude photography – both female and male – this new issue of Photographica (April 2023) seeks to question the role of the model in the history of photography: How can we consider and look at this historically massive part of photographic production today, and to what extent can it represent a subject of study? What does the object “nude photography” reveal with regard to processes of normalization, domination, and production in the history of photography? How does this photographic form influence its circulation and lead to new modes of distribution? What is a model in photography and how can the history of photography deal with this subject?

This series of lectures aims at exploring how the grand narratives of architectural history are challenged by current concerns raised by colonial and postcolonial studies, gender studies, and the environmental humanities. From the Enlightenment to the present, the speakers will examine discourses which have impacted the very form of architecture, analysing the racial considerations that underlie the theory of styles, or investigating the role French and German colonizations in Africa played in the emergence of modern architecture.

Art and decoloniality (practice, theory, paradigm)
This international symposium, « Art and decoloniality (practices, theory, paradigm) », far from the controversies that often stand in the way of a real scientific debate, proposes to analyze the effects of the phenomenon of « decolonization » both within sciences of art, and within artistic practices. The intention is to assess the possible epistemological and methodological repercussions, as well as the possible changes of objects of study and artistic approaches that this “question of the decolonial” may have given rise to.

Frontière·s. Revue d’archéologie, histoire et histoire de l’art
Death is often the prism through which researchers approach ancient societies. Graves and their furniture, memorial materials and religious texts, as well as the remains of the deceased themselves, are among the sources used today to study past societies, both in their social organization and in their relationship to death. However, these sources are also a distorting mirror that reflects the life of the Ancients only in a partial, idealized and even misleading way.For this sixth issue, Frontière·s invites authors to explore the question of the separation of individuals in and through death. The contributions may address this theme through different complementary approaches such as the materialization of the borders between the world of the dead and the world of the living, the delimitation between funerary and civil spaces, the depiction of the passage to the afterlife, or the social distinction of individuals in death according to their sex, gender, age, social class, etc.

Female saints, temptresses and witches: women and evil
La journée d’étude Saintes, tentatrices et sorcières : la femme et le mal souhaite mener une réflexion sur le rôle et la représentation artistique de la femme confrontée à des adversaires d’ordre politique, social, moral et théologique. L’objectif principal est de comprendre comment la femme peut être séduite ou pourchassée par le mal, pour en devenir le héraut ou l’ennemie. La journée d’étude cherchera à privilégier l’interdisciplinarité pour s’ouvrir à des réflexions trans-historiques du Moyen Âge à la première modernité.
