Statues, memories and representations during the decolonial era
Nakan journal, no.1. A cultural studies journal
Nakan aims to impulse innovation in the epistemological field of cultural margins. To this effect, the journal’s first issue will focus on the following theme: “Statuary, Memories, and Representations in the Decolonial Era”. The objective is to elucidate the recent events that saw the degradation of statues representing historical figures linked to slavery or colonialism in multiple parts of the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the United States. This topical issue fits in a context-based reflection on margins spurred by such social movements as Black Lives Matter, among others. What could be the core motivations leading to such actions? The journal invites scholars to a scientific investigation on statuaries and colonial discourse, heritage, memory, myth, and coterminous questions.

Montpellier
5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium
This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

Contributions of articles for electronic journal Verbum et Lingua
The electronic magazine Verbum et Lingua: Didáctica, lengua y cultura will dedicate its 16th edition (July-December 2020) to the topic of Chican@s studies. Grosso modo, for Ornelas, Ramírez and Padilla (1975), the Chican@s studies have made a great effort to integrate four main constructs: race, class, culture and gender/sexuality. These constructs are present in the work of different artists who express their ideology in order to politicize and lead their community(ies) to change. According to Macias (2018), the Chican@s field of study seeks to make research holistic and multidisciplinary, as well as inclusive, comparative, grounded, up-to-date and critical. At the same time, it seeks to apply the results to social justice, education, as well as to the change of the global Chican@ communities.

Vine, wine and education from the 18th century to today
The vine, the wine and the education are themes which appear distant and which nevertheless can be gathered around the training program and the places of apprenticeship (high schools wine, universities, schools of oenology ...) and school knowledge through disciplines such as geography, biology, art ...; This does not prevent the School from also fighting against addictions, alcoholism and its excesses. It must be said that vine and wine have always brought people together, constituting a real cultural heritage spread all over the world, wine being then a cultural and societal cultural reference. Thus, this theme could be studied around three main axes by involving several disciplines from the Humanities and Social Sciences but also Sciences and literary and artistic disciplines.

5th congress of the International Ergology Society
La démarche de l’ergologie offre-t-elle une approche pertinente dans le champ des questions intégrant le travail, le patrimoine et le développement ? Dans quelle mesure sa contribution est-elle singulière et innovante ? Afin d’établir un bilan et de tracer des perspectives, le principal objectif du cinquième congrès de la Société internationale d’ergologie (SIE) est de mettre en débats, au cours de trois journées, les travaux qui, en plusieurs lieux du monde, ont fait l’option de s’engager dans cette réflexion, tout en ayant parfois privilégié auparavant d’autres cadres de référence. La diversité des approches constituera un atout essentiel de cette rencontre qui se veut donc pluridisciplinaire.

Ex-voto: international perspectives
Des experts internationaux se réunissent pour commenter la particularité de l'objet votif. L'ex-voto peut être défini comme un remerciement que les croyants font à une divinité, mais les pratiques dévotionnelles révèlent une complexité dans l'usage du votif. Des chercheurs travaillant en France, au Japon, au Moyen Orient et au Mexique proposent d'interroger et d'expliquer cette matérialité qu'impose l'ex-voto. Durant ce symposium, seront analysés l'amplitude votive, les modalités de l'écriture du voeu, les créations actuelles qui perpétuent et subvertissent la tradition iconographique et thématique, ainsi que les diverses perspectives pour la conservation et la valorisation de l'ex-voto.

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium
Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

All Fontanarrosa: The Work of a Complete Humourist
When the Argentine Roberto Fontanarrosa passed away in 2007, a national day of mourning was declared and his funeral was attended by thousands. Although Fontanarrosa was much loved and both the man and his works have received public recognition time and again, there are very few published academic works on his œuvre to this day. This proposed anthology seeks to fill this gap by paying attention to Fontanarrosa’s work as a whole

Materialities and inventories: treasuries, arsenals and memorials
La façon et les raisons pour lesquelles les archives de famille étaient inventoriées retiendront ici l’attention, tant pour la péninsule Ibérique que pour le piémont pyrénéen, entre Moyen Âge et modernité. Les inventaires anciens d’archives, plus nombreux qu’on ne le croit, instruments de travail ou registres de prestige, témoignent de l’organisation matérielle des fonds alors constitués, ordonnés d’une certaine manière (sacs, coffres, armoires, pièces et personnel dédiés…), et ce, pour gouverner, affirmer et défendre son pouvoir, construire une mémoire. Pour les familles, en particulier de haut rang, la réalisation d’inventaires n’est jamais innocente : divers contextes, modalités et enjeux ont entouré leur confection, et a fortiori leur révision - en parallèle à des reclassements – ou leur mise en collection au cours du temps ou avec d’autres types d’objets et d’inventaires signifiants pour la famille (meubles, objets précieux, bibliothèques…). L’expertise de ceux qui les ont dressés - visible dans la qualité des descriptions, les cotations et recotations successives - se met ainsi au service d’une famille, d’une politique, de droits, d’un patrimoine qu’il s’agit de faire fructifier, défendre ou quasi sacraliser par la mémoire, une certaine mémoire, des archives, condensée dans les inventaires.

Cast iron French art around the world: the paths of distribution
Plus de 300 villes dans 70 pays étrangers, sans compter les milliers de monuments en France : la fonte d'ornement et la fonte d'art d'origine française ont été largement diffusées et, malgré les aléas du temps, ornent de nombreux parcs, jardins, espaces publics. Pourtant, lors de l'inventaire de ces richesses, il est souvent difficile de mettre à jour les mécanismes de diffusion : il y a une part commerciale classique (revendeurs) mais il y a aussi une part de relations diplomatique, politique des réseaux confessionnels, le rôle d'influence de professionnels de l'aménagement urbain... et bien sûr l'image du Paris haussmanien, de Versailles ou des collections du Louvre. Le colloque cherche à mettre en évidence ces jeux d'infliuence et, au-delà, ce que les Anglo-Saxons appellent le soft power : ici à la française.

Conference, symposium - Representation
Espaço e ilusão. Teatros, arquitetura e património na Península Ibérica
O Simpósio internacional de arquitetura "Espaço e Ilusão. Teatros, arquitetura e património na Península Ibérica" pretende abrir um diálogo entre estudiosos e técnicos protagonistas de ambos os países, responsáveis pelo estudo desta temática e pelo projecto e execução de muitas das intervenções recentes em espaços teatrais. O impacto destas realizações na deslocação dos novos equipamentos dos centros (históricos) para novas centralidades comerciais, a recuperação de teatros e auditórios como factores de redefinição do tecido urbano, a importância de novas linguagens e de formas de interacção do público com os espaços, a influência das novas tecnologias nas soluções arquitetónicas e cenográficas, são alguns dos temas a abordar no Simpósio.
