Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology

Digitization of Scholarly Knowledge through the Prism of Research Practices

Memories, Uses and Critical Issues

Organized within the CollEx-Persée Digitization program, this conference invites critical, collective and interdisciplinary reflection on the transformations induced by digitization in research practices and scholarly uses. How do choices of corpora, tools or formats shape research practices? What kind of memory of science is thus produced, made visible, or, on the contrary, devalued? What mechanisms—existing or in development—can ensure that the digitization of academic literature effectively supports research practices, whether traditional or emerging?

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.

Research on the Displacement of French Document Collections in Europe (1930–1950)

In June 2027, La Contemporaine will host an international symposium dedicated to the study of the displacement of documentary collections across Europe, including France, between the 1930s and 1950s. At the crossroads of historical studies, book history and provenance research, this event aims to document and analyse the trajectories of these documentary collections, whether or not they were subject to spoliation. An overview of similar research in other countries and of the challenges posed by the documentary processing of collections will complete this analysis.

Digitization of Scholarly Knowledge through the Prism of Research Practices

Memories, Uses and Critical Issues

This conference invites participants to examine the impact of digitizing scholarly literature on research practices and the memory of scholarship. Beyond issues of access, digitization entails epistemological, documentary, and political choices that shape the circulation and appropriation of knowledge. Discussions will revolve around three main themes: the institutional and epistemological stakes of digitizing scholarly heritage, the practices and tools employed in ongoing projects, and the conditions for the valorization and reuse of digitized resources.

Dancing (with technology)

“Intermediality. History and Theory of the Arts, Literature, and Technologies” no. 48 (Fall 2026)

This issue of Intermediality aims to theorize dance (as genre, practice, and idea) from within historical and contemporary entanglements of bodies, media, affects, and values. We are seeking contributions from scholars, choreographers, technicians, and dancers in either essay format or a more creative form, with a focus on projects that involve dance and today’s new and emergent media, such as virtual or augmented reality (VR/AR), robotics, motion capture technology (mocap), AI applications, and other animative and choreographic interfaces. We especially welcome submissions that engage with disability, critical race, and gender studies, and research-creation approaches. Scholars wishing to focus on earlier historical examples of the intersection of dancing and technology are also encouraged to apply.

Authors and their Translators: the Genealogy of an Asymmetric Relationship

Étape incontournable de la mise en circulation à l’internationale, la traduction se voit rapidement confrontée aux conséquences d’une nouvelle conjoncture socio-économique. La législation supranationale en matière du droit d’auteur, qui se constitue progressivement sous l’égide de la Société des Nations, met ainsi fin à la fois à la liberté de traduction et à un statut égalitaire du traducteur. Cet ouvrage se donne pour objectif de parcourir ce chemin dans le sens inverse en reconstituant la généalogie de ce rapport des forces en présence au sein du champ éditorial afin de saisir les tenants et les aboutissants du processus de professionnalisation des métiers d’écriture et ses effets pour les pratiques de traduction littéraire.

From the Page to the Classroom, Crossing Borders

Interculturality and Children’s Literature

This symposium is part of a research project focused on the critical analysis of the place of children’s and young adult literature in education on migration. It aims to compile critical bibliographies of picture books and novels for children and young adults dealing with migration, in order to determine to what extent these are pertinent tools to broach migratory issues with children and young people, whether they are migrant or of migrant parents themselves or not. The two strands of the project are: first, the literary analysis of the figure of the migrant in texts, in French and English, aimed at a young readership; then, the identification and deconstruction, in an educational context, of racialising biases that stem from a stereotyped creation of migrancy.

Media at the crossroads between reality and fiction (from Ancient Times till present)

Congrès 2025 de la Société pour l’histoire des médias

With the growing contemporary concerns about fake news and deep fakes, the questionof the decreasing space between fiction and non-fiction has become central. But at the same time,new genres and hybrids that play a different game are also proliferating: telling the truth underthe guise of fiction, using a fictional guise (the conventions of specific narrative genre) to ‘better’tell the truth as in self-fiction, animated documentaries, etc. The 25th Annual Conference of the French Society for Media History (Société pourl’Histoire des Médias, SPHM) is intended to explore the ambiguous connections andinterrelations between reality and fiction in media productions of any kind, any time period andany country.

A cultural history of libraries worldwide

"Revue d’histoire culturelle – XVIIIe-XXIe siècles" number 11

The study of libraries is situated within cultural history at the intersection of social history, history of knowledge, the history of imaginaries, political history, and the history of cultural practices. Their forms, their projects, their uses, and their representations have evolved alongside the societies that have financed, built and supported them. This issue of the Revue d’histoire culturelle XVIIIe-XXIe siècles, devoted to “the cultural history of libraries worldwide”, will consider this history from three points of view : the place of the library in fiction and the arts ; the library as a collective project – or counter-project ; the library as a social practice.

Small Forms in Circulation

Infrastructures, Practices, Publics

Small textual and material forms seem particularly adept at circulating within and between different publics. This conference investigates how the movement of brief, compressed, and otherwise small forms ranging from early modern pamphlets to Instagram stories shape the development of diverse publics, as well as the interplay between them. We propose to explore the relationship between small forms and publics through three related strands of inquiry: how infrastructures affect the circulation of small forms, how practices including remediation enable their circulation, and how the circulation of small forms shapes the formation, operation, and dissolution of public life.

Project manager for the project "The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550): how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities"

ERC Advanced Grant 2020 AGRELITA

Les études des premiers siècles de la réception de l’Antiquité grecque en Europe occidentale pré-moderne ont porté jusqu’ici quasi exclusivement sur la transmission des textes grecs antiques aux XV^e et XVI^e siècles, le renouveau de l’enseignement du grec, les éditions des textes grecs et les travaux latins des humanistes hellénistes. Néanmoins dans les siècles qui précèdent, malgré la perte quasi générale de la maîtrise du grec et de la majorité des œuvres grecques, la Grèce ancienne n’était pas méconnue ni ignorée. Des traductions arabo-latines de textes grecs ont vu le jour, mais aussi, pour des publics plus larges et à partir de sources diverses, de nombreuses œuvres vernaculaires ont élaboré de riches représentations de la Grèce ancienne. Or leur étude n’a jamais été menée. Se situant aux frontières des études littéraires, de l’histoire du livre et de l’histoire de l’art, l’ambition d’AGRELITA est ainsi d’étudier les appropriations littéraires et artistiques de la Grèce ancienne par des auteurs qui, des années 1320 à 1550, n’ont pas été en contact direct avec les œuvres grecques. Le project manager vient en appui au porteur du projet pour l’accompagner dans la mise en œuvre de celui-ci.

Rebuilding a History: Indigenous books and print material in Québec

Mémoires du livre/Studies in Book Culture, vol. 16-no. 1 / Spring 2025

Shedding light on the stakes involved in Indigenous print material and books from the perspective of a history of the book captures the colonial dynamics at work in this literary milieu while highlighting the decolonization movements also taking place there. Despite significant increases in facilities and events dedicated to Indigenous books and print material, up until now few academic works have addressed the historic and contemporary dynamics around the field of Indigenous books in Québec. It is these dynamics that the present issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture aims to address.

Research libraries in Rome (1860-1930): the origins of an exceptional documentary collection

Comment se sont constituées les collections documentaires exceptionnelles à l’étranger ? Quelle place cette histoire reflète-t-elle de la recherche en histoire, art et histoire de l’art dans l’histoire intellectuelle et culturelle de chacun des pays représentés, entre 1860 et 1930 ? Cette journée d’étude permet de poser le contexte des bibliothèques de recherche installées sur un territoire étranger et de s’intéresser en particulier aux premières décennies de leur fonctionnement, dans un arc chronologique assez large, des années 1830 aux lendemains de la Première Guerre mondiale.
