80th Anniversary of Jean-Marc Ferry

Born on May 5, 1946, Jean-Marc Ferry will celebrate his 80th birthday this year. On this occasion, The Center Heuristicum systematicum will host an international colloquium, on May 5–6. This will mark the kairos—the opportune moment—of discovery, sedimentation, deepening, promotion, and reflection upon the magisterial work of the thinker who has carried the process of “detranscendentalization” to its highest point. The Center invites academics, researchers, and all interested participants to share their reflections, research, or experiences on this occasion.

Academic freedom in question

Is the expression of diverse perspectives for the development of knowledge still possible in academia?

Un des questionnements importants auquel fait face l’Université aujourd’hui est celui de la liberté académique. Depuis maintenant de nombreuses années, celle-ci fait l’objet de débats, qui ont abouti au Québec à la loi 32. Ce qui est en jeu est la liberté de pensée et de conscience, mais aussi la diversité des perspectives nécessaires à l’élaboration du savoir. En même temps, on constate de plus en plus que le traditionnel clivage entre la gauche et la droite, qui nous guidait dans notre compréhension du monde, ne correspond plus à des définitions claires de ces courants politiques. On y retrouve d’un côté comme de l’autre : polarisation, autocensure et censure. Quel est leur impact sur l’élaboration universitaire du savoir ?

Franco-Indigenous Cultural Crossings (16th–18th Centuries)

L’histoire des rapports franco-autochtones entre 1534 et 1763 est marquée par une dynamique complexe d’échanges culturels, de transferts de savoirs et de reconfigurations identitaires. Sous le Régime Français, les pratiques d’imitation, d’adaptation et d’appropriation ont joué un rôle central dans les interactions entre Autochtones et Européens, mais aussi dans les relations intra-européennes et entre les différentes communautés des Premières Nations. Ces métissages peuvent être envisagés comme des stratégies de survie ou d’intégration. Ils se manifestent dans les domaines linguistique, religieux, artistique, juridique et politique, ainsi que dans diverses pratiques quotidiennes.

Graphic and audio-visual representations of extreme violence intended for a young audience

Since the 1980s, graphic productions (comics, graphic novels, albums) or audiovisual productions (animated films, documentary fiction, documentaries for children or adolescents, etc.) have experienced a certain renewed interest, thanks, among other things, to the combination of narrative and graphics, which allows readers to move from one level of reading to another, thus feeding two distinct but complementary levels of reading. We propose to look at all these productions (graphic and audio-visual) that are aimed at children and adolescents to tell them about the past and the violence that affected their parents or grandparents, or indirectly the history of their family or community, or, more broadly, their country.

Anti-colonial solidarities: Navigating literary coresistance

The aim of this conference is to initiate a collective reflection on the relationships that, through literature, forge active resistance to colonial structures. How can the practices that develop around literature (writing, co-writing, rewriting, theoretical studies, translations) constitute spaces of coresistance and solidarity?

Literature in the face of Collective Blindness

« Post-Scriptum » Journal #40

This issue invites reflections on what remains unseen today. How does literature work to unsettle these zones of invisibility? We aim to explore the power of literary writing: its role in dissolving certainties, in shifting perception, in reshaping what can be felt and understood. How does it bring to light what has been pushed into the margins, what might resurface tomorrow as a source of collective shame? How do writers confront and resist this selective perception, navigating silence and opacity? What literary strategies allow them to be heard, to be taken seriously, without their texts being swallowed by incomprehensibility?

VocUM 2025

VocUM is an international conference organized annually by students of Université de Montréal from different fields of study relating to language. It is the only multidisciplinary conference in Montreal dedicated to language. Its mission is to provide a platform for young researchers to display their findings and foster meaningful discussionsacross diverse disciplines. By engaging in the annual student conference, participants have the opportunity not only to refine their oral communication skills, but also to contribute to scholarly discourse by publishing articles in the journal ScriptUM. Thus, language has been targeted as a focal point to facilitate dialogue betweenotherwise isolated disciplines.

Heroisms in times of war

Since the 2000s, scholarly interest in the concept of heroism has grown to the point where some now speak of heroism studies or heroism science. This emerging historiographical current now has a multidisciplinary academic journal, research centers, and even encyclopedias for American and German researchers. By considering these as complex phenomena, involving a variety of actors, tools, and horizons of expectation, we aim to decipher the elaboration of imaginary images of martial heroism.

Social innovations as sites of resistance and transformation in times of crisis

Since the 1980s, we have borne witness to a succession of crises caused by a dominant economic system that subjects both humans and nature to the dictates of endless growth. The severity of these crises and their consequences have also spurred new social actions. More than ever, there is a need to identify the interstices through which social transformations founded on solidarity, emancipation and new ways of relating to the Earth can operate. The tradition of research on social innovations at CRISES provides the ideal starting point to reflect on social innovations as sites for resistance and social transformation during this period of overlapping crises. It also invites us to break down disciplinary silos and address the complexity of contemporary challenges with cross-cutting and intersectoral approaches that can offer a bridge between research and action. This call for papers draws inspiration from various approaches used to address complex issues in different fields, particularly as regards democratic participation, economics, ecology and technology.
