Patching up. Intermediality. History and Theory of the Arts, Literature, and Technologies

Revue « Intermédialités », n° 50 (Automne 2027)

Patching up means adding pieces—patches—to maintain, repair, and extend the life of something; at times, it goes beyond simply filling a gap to become a creative act. We start from the premise that objects and infrastructures, like bodies and communities, can be patched up—and that what is patched up is never quite “as it was before.” Its appearance, function, and meaning may shift; the pieces themselves are redefined by what they join. Patching up is therefore less about restoring a previous state than about producing something that did not exist before: a different object, a new reality. This creative, poietic, and performative dimension lies at the heart of this issue, which seeks to explore both the material act of patching up and the political gestures and worldviews that accompany it.

Blanche de Castille

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.

Seminar - History

Beauvoir Webinar Series

The Beauvoir Webinar Series were originally conceived by their first coordinators (Gina and Marine) as an open space for expression accessible to all, while also serving as a site of resistance to the multiple hegemonic dynamics that permeate the academic sphere and, more broadly, the social field.

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.

Gendered work and working gender

Identifiée comme un angle mort par Benoît Dedieu lors du deuxième symposium international du travail en agriculture, la place des femmes n’est plus à négliger dans l’analyse du travail au sein des mondes agricoles. Bien que la première étape indispensable soit de lutter contre l’invisibilisation des femmes, ce working group propose de mobiliser le concept de genre pour dépasser l’approche centrée sur la seule « spécificité du travail des femmes ».

Speech and Politics

The relationship between speech and politics is experiencing renewed interest today. Since Foucault, political theory has examined the scope of “speaking truth” as a form of resistance, most recently illustrated by the unleashing of speech in the #MeToo movement. In the age of social media, speech proves deeply ambivalent : it can wound just as much as it can help build a shared world. Theories of recognition remind us that democracy requires all voices to be heard, a condition still far from being fulfilled.

Gender and Feminist Perspectives in Southeast Asia

Thematic issue, Moussons No. 49

This issue of Moussons invites a collective examination of gender relations, feminist mobilisations, and policies promoting the rights of women and gender minorities in Southeast Asia, by exploring their translations, tensions, and effects across different scales. This issue aims to contribute to a situated and decolonial reading of gender policies in Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on interactions between global dynamics and local configurations, between normative institutions and collective mobilisations, and between colonial legacies and contemporary transformations. It seeks to foreground the plurality of feminist and gender-minority voices and epistemologies in the region, by supporting the translation and circulation of work produced in Southeast Asian vernacular languages into French or English, in order to foster an inclusive intellectual dialogue.

Engendering (repurposing)

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.

Feminist Utopias at Work

Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish

Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.

Éros au musée

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).

How do children engage in ritualised daily practices and rituals?

Ce colloque interdisciplinaire a pour thème les processus et expériences de transmission et d’apprentissage des savoirs et des compétences aux et par les enfants, sans présumer a priori des limites de l’enfance. Le questionnement central qui orientera les discussions concerne la façon dont, au sein de divers cadres socialisateurs, des contextes ritualisés – séculiers ou religieux – constituent le support d’intégration et de transformation de connaissances, modes de pensée, normes et valeurs, savoir-faire et attitudes.

How to teach gender in medicine and health?

Methodological issues and the challenge of interdisciplinarity

In the second half of the 20th century, the introduction of the concept of gender into the social sciences and humanities and into medical sciences restored complexity to the concept of sex, while producing ambivalent effects, notably thecreation of a sex/gender dyad and a divide between the biological and the social. The epistemological heterogeneity of concepts makes dialogue between health careprofessionals and between scientific disciplines difficult, reinforcing newstereotypes in research, clinical practice, and teaching. Interdisciplinary dialogue is necessary in order to teach healthcare professionals about gender and social inequalities in health. How can teaching practices be harmonized without establishing a truth regime about gender?

La misopédie dans les institutions

Misopedia is hatred of children (similar to misogyny, which refers to hatred of women). It is the feeling of contempt – most often unconscious – that we harbour towards younger people, the rejection we subject them to in the functioning of society. Being or having been a child is the one and only universal experience common to all human beings on the planet. And yet, from generation to generation, there is a recurring inability to empathise with childhood once we have left it behind. This misopedia is not universal, but it is quite widespread and varies, of course, according to time and place.

Work and Utopia(s)"

Laboreal, July 2026

Since the 19^th century, the cyclical crises of our industrial societies have fuelled multiple initiatives aimed at envisioning another possible world. Yet recent decades have revealed a state of profound crisis that leads us to doubt, more radically than ever, the validity and sustainability of our ways of thinking and acting. Our futures are at stake, our models of society are being strained under the pressure of climate change, social and societal upheavals, public health crises, and political instability. In this context, human labour is an undeniable issue. In these times of transition, ways of thinking about and acting on work increasingly integrate the utopian dimension, which underlies the evolution of both the worlds of work and communities of life. This issue will therefore be an opportunity to take stock of the state of the art.

Searching for Homosexuality in Judicial Archives

Epistemological, Methodological and Political Challenges (18 th-20 th centuries)

This workshop aims to explore the epistemological, methodological and political challenges of using judicial archives to conduct historical research on homosexuality. It will be held on 7 and 8 November 2025 at Campus Condorcet in Aubervilliers, France (Paris area). It is open to all early career researchers (master's, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers) conducting investigations into the history of homosexuality using court records and/or other judicial documents, whatever their discipline. This edition focuses specifically on the issue of framing the object of research and on categories of analysis in the history of homosexuality, and how these are put to the test by confrontation with this material.
