Living Books about History

Collection d'anthologies numériques

La collection publie des recherches qui s’inscrivent en priorité dans le domaine des sciences historiques, mais accueille volontiers diverses perspectives issues d’autres champs disciplinaires. Les Living Books peuvent avoir différents objectifs, comme proposer un bilan historiographique d’un courant de recherche, circonscrire les contours d’un nouvel objet d’étude, offrir une introduction à une thématique, illustrer différentes manières d’interpréter un corpus spécifique de sources ou encore analyser les enjeux d’un changement de paradigme.

Sociability, Progress and Innovation (1650-1850)

Cet appel à contribution se propose d’interroger les usages et significations des idées de « progrès » et d’« innovation » - qu’elles soient en rapport avec la technologie, l’économie, la politique, la religion ou la culture - au cours du long XVIII^e siècle et leurs impacts sur les pratiques sociales. Il s’attachera à mesurer les effets de l’innovation sous toutes ses formes (technique, politique, économique, artistique, littéraire, etc.) sur les sociabilités dans les sociétés européennes et coloniales. Il sera également intéressant d’envisager la sociabilité elle-même comme une innovation conceptuelle et sociale.

Anecdotes: Theory and Practice of Narrative

Journal Communications (2027) - varia

Across academic disciplines, the use of anecdote has received little attention. This despite the fact that they punctuate our professional and social practices : they are the stuff of our writing, our teaching, and our conversations. Present in the many sources, data, and materials that sustain the humanities and social sciences, anecdotes are also often decisive in the choice of our research objects. The freedom of tone that characterizes anecdotes allows overlooked or undervalued subjects to emerge, reshaping disciplines and their objects of study. The rise of research focused on marginalized people, social groups, and issues owes much to a renewed interest in sources once deemed unreliable – reported speech, hearsay, gossip, or indeed anecdote.

Tele-Phonies: Listening at a Distance in the Arts and Auditory Cultures

Building on the hypothesis of an interconnection between auditory cultures, perception regimes, and listening techniques, the Tele-Phonies study day proposes an analysis of the regimes of perception and cultures of listening linked to the multifaceted notion of distance. By taking into account not only telephone communication networks and mass radio media but, more broadly, acknowledging listening as a set of practices and media techniques of listening at a distance within or on the margins of these networks, we will try to understand their profound impact on sound arts and auditory cultures.

The Naturalist’s Wonder: Exploring Nature’s Marvels and Oddities

Zoomathia Conference 2025

Nature is often aberrant, or at least so disconcerting that it would be a form of ignorance not to marvel at it. The nature of animals, like that of plants, « overflows on all sides »(Theophrastus). This call for papers is addressed to all those—historians of science, historians of texts, biologists—who are interested in what Aristotle described as « the non-ordinary order of nature, » in its most disconcerting manifestations. Presentations may focus on motifs of natural strangeness, whether in experience or history, addressing anatomical, physiological, or behavioral aspects, as well as fields such as communication, technical skills, or what is vaguely referred to as the « animal sixth sense. »

Knowledge from the margins, marginal knowledge?

Sources, scope, and legitimacy of critical economic knowledge

The study of economic knowledge and its political influence has largely focused on central sites of power and on its academic production. This conference seeks to broaden that perspective by examining marginalized economic knowledge and the dynamics of its (de-)marginalization. It will specifically address the development of lay or relegated economic theories and practices, considering their logic of legitimation, the actors, spaces, and actions that generate them, and their relative autonomy. The conference will concentrate on the long twentieth century and welcomes proposals from all disciplines within the humanities and social sciences.

Monastic Careers and Scientific Meritocracy in the 13th-century Church

About John of Toledo, abbot of l'Épau, then cardinal

It has recently been proven that the famous Cardinal Jean de Tolède was indeed the first abbot of l'Épau, the abbey founded by Queen Berengaria of Navarre near Le Mans around 1230. This conference seekss to explore the various aspects of the career of this character and others like him, who passed through England, the Cistercian order, theological faculties and Toledo, before arriving at the Roman Curia, endowed with a solid medical culture, as well as alchemy and astrology.

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.

Conservation-restoration of embroidered textiles from the Renaissane to the 19th century

Technè, n°60, 2025-2

The study of embroidered textiles presents several points of interest: research may focus on the embroidery itself (materials, techniques, patterns), its supporting medium (nature, composition of materials, type of weaving), as well as the relationships between these two fields. We aim to identify topics of discussion by juxtaposing ancient texts with materials analysis; to present examples of the conservation of embroidered textiles with an emphasis on the choice of technical protocols; and to consider the difficult problem of exhibiting these rare and precious textiles.

The Sound of Amateur Cinema

Ce colloque porte sur les pratiques sonores liées au cinéma amateur. Celui-ci est généralement considéré comme muet jusqu'à l’apparition de caméras sonores accessibles aux amateurs. Pourtant, de nombreuses sources attestent, dès les années 1930, d’une pratique de l’enregistrement sonore à des fins de sonorisation, et des enregistrements existent. L’arrivée du magnétophone à bande a contribué à diffuser plus largement l’usage du son enregistré dans le cinéma amateur. Le son associé au cinéma amateur reste toutefois très peu étudié, autant à l’université que dans les cinémathèques et centres d'archives. Ce colloque fait le point sur le sujet, en conciliant les approches techniques, culturelles et archivistiques, afin de faire se rencontrer universitaires, archivistes, techniciens, et cinéastes amateurs.

When the archaeological object is a historical subject

Perception, function and reception of artefacts

In the wake of the material turn and following the example of the television programme Faire l'histoire presented by Patrick Boucheron on Arte, the aim of this event is to reflect on the definition, role and understanding of artefacts. Encompassing a wide historical period and geographical area, our aim is to examine both the history of the archaeological object itself and the archaeological object in history. This interdisciplinary approach will allow us to compare points of view on a subject at the heart of current issues.

Voices of the South (Guyanas, Latin America, Caribbean, West Africa)

When speech becomes authoritative and oral serves as a writing of history

This issue aims to curate articles dedicated to exploring the voices that resonate from these regions. Central to our inquiry is the exploration of memory – individual or collective recollections of lived experiences, orally transmitted across generations, and culturally embedded within communities. This memory is particularly important in oral tradition societies, in West Africa for example, as well as in the societies and cultures of the Americas (including Guiana and the Caribbean). As a resolutely multidisciplinary dossier, it will welcome texts focusing on the words of the “people of the South,” as witness-spectators or witness-actors, and on the uses to which these words are put in research in the humanities and social sciences.

In Relation to Life

Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

La relationalité, en tant que concept et cadre théorique, est devenue une composante essentielle dans les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines. Son importance transversale se manifeste dans sa description comme un changement de paradigme dans les sciences, un tournant relationnel dans la philosophie et la théorie, et une nouvelle finalité de la politique. Ce colloque vise à établir des liens entre les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines en se concentrant sur les différentes façons dont ces dernières abordent et intègrent la relationalité biologique, comprise comme l'enchevêtrement des entités vivantes entre elles à différentes échelles (cellulaire, physiologique, multi-espèces, écosystémique, planétaire, etc.) et avec des entités non vivantes (polluants, machines, matière elle-même, etc.).

In Relation to Life

Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

Relationality as a concept and a framework has become an essential component of contemporary science, theory and politics. Its transversal importance has been evidenced through its qualification as a paradigm shift in the science, as a relational turn in philosophy and theory, and as a new end goal of politics. This conference aims at creating bridges between contemporary science, theory, and politics through focusing on the various ways they approach and integrate biological relationality, understood as the entanglement of living entities with each other at different scales (cellular, physiological, multispecies, ecosystemic, planetary, etc.) and with nonliving entities (pollutants, machines, matter itself, etc.).

Archives of Archaeology: History, Plurality, and New Perspectives

Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, les archives de l’archéologie suscitent l’intérêt d’historiens et d'archéologues mais aussi d’archivistes et de conservateurs. L’exploitation de ces sources, qui ne se limitent pas aux seuls documents de terrain, s’est désormais imposée pour écrire l’histoire de la discipline, de ses acteurs et de ses multiples facettes socio-politiques et culturelles. La journée d’étude est consacrée à la présentation de nouveaux regards et usages des archives de l'archéologie, appréhendées dans leur plus large définition, comme tremplin d’une histoire renouvelée, sociale et politique, de l’archéologie.

Technocritique(s). Reflection upon 3.3 million years of human technical externalization

Wherever digital solutions and artificial intelligence (AI) have spread, whatever the creative domain or human activity, the impression of having a total, even universal, all-terrain technology has never been so strong. We cannot ignore that the digital revolution, while apparently offering simplicity and ease-of-use is accompanied by a rather remarkable invisibilization of technology’s infrastructure, leaving its users ignorant to the processes and material elements that encompass even the simplest tools. Homo comfort, as the Italian anthropologist Stefano Boni calls it, lives in a hypertechnological world, in which he is ignorant of most of its systems. How can one understand the least-effort infrastructure in which we live when recontextualized within nearly 3.3 million years of technological externalization ? Were 3.3 million years of experimentation necessary to arrive at this point, or rather, did we need to collectively forget our entire history in order to accept our current situation?
