Vienne : art-s-pentages d’une ville-monde
Parcourir Vienne, c’est se confronter aux arts à chaque coin de rue. Souhaitant mettre en regard les perspectives de la ville des arts et celle de la ville-monde, notre manifestation se propose comme un art-pentage de Vienne. Arpenter, c’est-à-dire explorer l’espace physique de la ville et son lien aux arts, mais aussi découvrir l’espace mythique que la création artistique y a construit.

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills
What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?
In L’économie du XXe siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

Ce séminaire constitue un lieu d’échanges sur les travaux actuels concernant les transferts culturels. À chaque séance, deux chercheurs sont invités pour présenter leurs recherches et débattre de leur approche. Le cadre intellectuel est celui de l’histoire et de l’épistémologie des sciences humaines, et le fil directeur des séances, méthodologique : il s’agit de repérer les vecteurs par lesquels s’opèrent les déplacements de contenus intellectuels et culturels ainsi que de questionner les processus de resémantisation qui accompagnent ces transformations. D’une séance à l’autre, les thématiques varient : ce choix est lié au souci de tester la pertinence de l’approche en termes de transferts culturels au-delà de la diversité des objets abordés et de nouer un dialogue entre les disciplines.

Ce colloque junior propose de revenir au concept de Bildung, notion cardinale de l’histoire des idées européennes. Il s’agira, d’une part, de poursuivre la remise à jour des discours canoniques sur la Bildung au XVIIIe siècle et de mettre en lumière les discours dissonants ou marginaux qui lui sont aussi consacrés, d’autre part. Cette tension entre canon et marge sera étudiée au sein des champs philosophique et religieux, dans lesquels émergea et se développa la pensée de la Bildung.

D’autres philosophies du langage : l’idéalisme allemand et sa postérité
L’objectif du colloque est à la fois d’approfondir la pensée du langage de l’idéalisme allemand au XVIIIe et XIXe siècles et d’étudier la manière dont celle-ci a été reçue, héritée et discutée par la postérité philosophique au XXe siècle.

Nec ut interpres sed ut... philosophus
Pourquoi éditer et commenter encore les textes philosophiques cicéroniens ?
Par le colloque international « Nec ut interpres sed ut… philosophus : pourquoi éditer et commenter encore les textes philosophiques cicéroniens ? », nous nous fixions un objectif novateur dans l’univers philologique au sens large du terme : offrir un point de rencontre de différents horizons méthodologiques avec une approche kaléidoscopique du Corpus Leidense (De natura deorum, De divinatione, De fato, Timaeus, De legibus, Topica, Paradoxa Stoicorum, Lucullus), des Academici libri, des Tusculanae Disputationes, du De finibus bonorum et malorum et du De officiis.

In recent years, the fictional character of Sissi has been reimagined from a feminist perspective. This new appreciation of the character of Sissi owes much to gender studies. It also derives from the interpolation of narratives and fictions about other (modern) princesses such as Lady Diana. Fairy tales are now being put into perspective, and the same goes for historical princesses when represented in fiction. Following this “Sissi turn”, the book will adopt a deliberately transversal and interdisciplinary perspective.

Articuler les traditions politico-intellectuelles de l’écoféminisme français et allemand dans une perspective globale
In light of the ecological crisis ecofeminist thought that first emerged as political-ethical and theoretical field during the late 1970s and 1980s has flourished in French and German debates during the last decade. The aim of the conference is to examine the ways in which ecofeminist theory is currently discussed in France and Germany, and how – in both national contexts – the respective traditions of ecofeminist thought and politics are re-articulated, criticized and transformed. Thereby the question how post- and neo-colonial power relations that shape the current ecological situation are addressed in ecofeminist thought will be of central importance. The conference seeks to re-evaluate traditions of ecofeminist thought in French and German speaking contexts, their uneven circulation and their present-day re-articulations.

Seminar - Epistemology and methodology
40 Years Anniversary of the Seminar
The transnational research seminar consists of lectures by invited international scholars dedicated to the study of cultural transfers in very different regions. The central theme of the various sessions is the question of the vectors that explain and promote the various shifts in intellectual content in space and time, as well as the resemantizations that necessarily go hand in hand with these shifts. The topics dealt with are deliberately diverse in order to facilitate contacts between the disciplines and methodological discussions. A common theme is the history and epistemology of the human sciences with a focus on questions of spatialization in historiographical constructions.

Politics of the Enlightenment - 8 positions as Research Associate
Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (65 %, 48 months)
Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Interdisciplinary Centre for European Enlightenment Studies, offers 8 temporary positions as part of the “Politics of the Enlightenment” Research Training Group, funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, from 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2029 (48 months), as a Research Associate (m-f-d) Part time (65%). The Research Training Group (RTG) examines the politics of the Enlightenment from the 18th century to today. Its approach is twofold: firstly, it asks – in terms of the genitivus subjectivus – how both the historical Enlightenment of the 18th century and also later Enlightenment enterprises think and act in a political sense. Secondly, it questions – in terms of the genitivus objectivus – how the conception of Enlightenment is constructed and perpetually renewed through political aims and decisions: How does the Enlightenment shape politics? And how do politics shape the Enlightenment?

Max Scheler et le ressentiment
Ce colloque porte sur le thème du « ressentiment » dans la philosophie du phénoménologue allemand Max Scheler (1874-1928), en particulier dans son ouvrage consacré à cette notion, traduit en français dès 1933, ainsi que sur l’actualité, notamment politique, de ce concept, qui revient aujourd’hui sur le devant de la scène. Ainsi, la dernière réédition de la traduction française du livre de Scheler a fait l’objet d’importantes recensions dans les journaux Le Monde et Libération en 2022.

Conference, symposium - Thought
While the philosophical reception of German Idealism and Early Romanticism has been the subject of a number of studies, research so far has given little attention to the question of its knowledge and use by artists. The aim of the conference is to open up a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, informed by case studies, on the role that the discovery of Classical German Philosophy has played in European and American visual arts, from the early nineteenth century to the present day.
