Ce que le groupe fait à la photographie : groupements, réseaux, collectifs
How groups shape photography: groups, networks, collectives
The practice of photography, which arises from the encounter between an eye and a camera, is often perceived as an individual exercise. This monocular vision, indebted to the myth of the photographer’s genius, is exemplified by figures such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, known as “the eye of the century.” Beyond this mythification—often instrumental in the construction of Art History—, photography must now be reconsidered as a set of relational practices, shaped by dynamics of collaboration, exchange, and circulation of images, techniques, and knowledge. The aim of this conference is therefore to reassess both official and informal collective structures that have made photography possible.

Economic Regulation and Informal Economies in the Medieval and Early Modern Periods
La 14e école d’été d’histoire économique se propose d’aborder le thème fondamental de la régulation qui englobe pour les économistes l’ensemble des règles explicites ou implicites qui organisent et encadrent la production, l’échange et la consommation. La notion englobe ainsi la question de la fixation et de la formation des prix, les contrôles de qualité et de quantité ainsi que la mesure de la valeur. C’est par conséquent une notion qui englobe l’ensemble de la sphère économique. Son existence entraîne, par antithèse, l’existence d’une sphère informelle, qui échappe ou tente d’échapper à toute forme d’organisation ou de contrôle.

Revue « Sociologie du travail »
This special issue of Sociologie du travail examines how subaltern workers are affected by im/mobility, understood as the multiple spatio-temporal assemblages that simultaneously constrain and delimit their movement and mobility practices. The aim is to rethink work as the product of a tension between the mobilisation of labour, the restriction of workers’ movements, and the agency of workers themselves. Mobility and its corollary, immobility, are thus conceived as a battlefield on which logics of coercion, control, mobilisation, and engagement confront and are reconfigured alongside the aspirations to autonomy of the most vulnerable workers.

La refondation de l’État, une nécessité aux variables multiples depuis l’Antiquité
Autour de la contemplation de l’œuvre du Pr. Hugues Mouckaga
L’enjeu de ce colloque est de s’interroger sur la nécessité d’une refondation de l’État et sur de potentiels éléments pouvant permettre sa réorganisation profonde et systématique. Il entend croiser les approches historiques, sociologiques, juridiques, philosophiques et politiques pour mieux comprendre les logiques, les temporalités et les justifications qui accompagnent la restructuration des États dans le long terme.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
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.

Call for papers - Early modern
Edition and editorial practices, past and present
This international, bilingual conference organised with the Société Française Shakespeare and the Société d’Études Anglaises et Américaines des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles seeks to analyse the world of edition and editions in the early modern period, as well as of works first produced in the early modern period. This conference therefore proposes to bring together discussions of the publishing and editorial worlds of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, and the stakes and questions that underpin the making of contemporary editions of early modern texts.

Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences
The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.

Appropriating international spaces and professions
European women and feminists in the 20th century
The workshop focuses on the intersections between the history of international relations, European studies and women's and gender history. Since the early 21st century, historiography on international relations and European integration has undergone profound transformations, enabling the integration of a gender perspective. However, writing a history of European and international relations from a female perspective and integrating a gender perspective into these scientific fields remains a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to take stock of approaches at the crossroads of the study of international relations, European integration, gender and feminism. It will provide a forum for debate on recent empirical work and work in progress.

The Architect and the Photographer
Revue « Profils »
Call for Contributions of Profils, Journal of the Association d’histoire de l’architecture. The relationship between photography and architecture has been the subject of numerous studies, which have shown that this medium has undeniably transformed the ways in which architecture is conceived, understood and represented. The aim of a forthcoming issue of Profils is to question and highlight the various facets of the interaction between architects and photographers as co-producers of the visual representation of architecture, by looking at the uses, views and practices that have marked this relationship over time.

Residue and Oblivion: Manufacturing Toxic Legacies
Cross-reflections based on the exemplary case of asbestos. 20th - 21st centuries
Several studies in environmental history and the sociology of science have already shown how, regarding asbestos as other toxic substances, the narrative of the sudden “awareness” of their harmful effects was a fiction, actually and that a number of stakeholders were well aware of asbestos pathogenic effects as early as the early 20th century. The circulation and appropriation of this knowledge did not take place in linear fashion. Now, what are the possible trajectories of a toxic substance after it has been banned? This is the question this conference aims to answer.

« Esclavages et Post-Esclavages / Slaveries and Post-Slaveries » Journal
This issue examines the long-term situation of Middlemen, both under slavery and in the post-slavery era. Enslaved themselves, overseers, and occasionally even recruiters of workers after the abolition of slavery, these intermediaries in the chain of command of coerced labor were essential to the smooth functioning of the slave and post-slave system. What role did they play? Were they agents of coercion or of worker protection?

List, compile, assemble: small forms and the power of collecting
Workshop of the research training group “The literary and epistemic history of small forms”
Unraveling the various asymmetries inherent in collecting requires shifting our focus from collections themselves to how collections come into being. This entails viewing collections as both purposeful and contingent results of scientific or cultural practice. Drawing on the history of collecting and the history of paperwork, this interdisciplinary workshop aims to enhance our understanding of the collecting processes involving written testimonies, inscriptions, and texts. With a focus on contexts such as artistic-literary primitivism or colonial encounters, the workshop proposes a comparative examination of the asymmetries associated with collecting via three main axes: actor-networks involved in the production of collections, the role of collecting in the management of life, and how collections emerge from asymmetrical media practices.

Exchanges, Mobility and Collaborations
The World of Silk Between France and Italy, 16th-19th Century
This workshop aims to consider Franco-Italian relations concerning silk from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century by fostering dialogue between research that has hitherto been separated by historiographical tradition, particularly combining history and art history. This interdisciplinary approach is all the more essential as it seeks to scrutinize through the same set of inquiries the entire silk production chain (from mulberry cultivation to fabric consumption, including thread manufacturing and preparation, pattern creation, and weaving). By revealing the importance of interdependencies among the various stages of the production and consumption process and the different actors within this industry, this approach leads to new considerations of the connections between the social worlds and the territories that silk interlinked.

What counting means in an imperial and colonial situation
This conference intends to open in new ways the file of accounting and statistical approaches produced in imperial and colonial context (thematic maps, surveys, statistical series etc.) to extract all the information that they are likely to provide on societies and situations that they are supposed to illuminate. Taking into account the numerous historiographical findings, the critiques of the different numerical elements used, their racialist and normative aims, it is as much a question of being interested in the conditions of their production, whether they are visible (investigators) or invisible (interpreters , village elites), than to analyze the reactions to their production, their distribution or to specify the expectations of the sponsors and the uses to which they give rise. The conference intends to encourage the crossing of the scales mobilized by the different supports of these accounting elements, starting from individuals and up to the relations between administrations or colonial companies and the Metropolis.
