Caring for Madness in Medieval and Early Modern Europe: Approaches, Practices, and Representations

Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this conference seeks to examine the perception, treatment, and representation of individuals affected by madness in the medieval and early modern periods, whether madness took the diverse forms of melancholy, possession, wandering, or unreason. To this end, it proposes to engage with the contemporary notion of care, understood as an ethics of care, and to historicize it beyond its modern conceptual framework, in order to reassess the relationship to vulnerability and dependency (and interdependency), as well as the dialectic between assistance and marginalization in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Ethics, Social Intelligence, and the Responsibility of Researchers in Language Didactics and Linguistics

Ce colloque entend interroger la place et la portée sociale du chercheur et du praticien en didactique des langues et en sciences du langage face aux enjeux linguistiques contemporains. Il ambitionne de créer un espace de dialogue interdisciplinaire permettant de penser conjointement éthique, intelligence sociale et responsabilité scientifique afin de promouvoir des pratiques pédagogiques et des recherches réflexives, inclusives et socialement responsables. Comment articuler exigence scientifique, responsabilité éthique et intelligence sociale afin que la recherche et les pratiques en didactique des langues et en sciences du langage contribuent à une compréhension critique et inclusive des réalités linguistiques, sans reproduire les inégalités qu’elles observent et qu’elles analysent ?

Créativité et hétérogénéité langagière dans les pratiques d'écriture du quotidien

Deuxièmes journées d'étude des pratiques sociales de l'écrit

Pursuing the dialogue opened by Michel Dabène that helped bring to the fore more than thirty years ago the need to move beyond the dichotomy between “literary writing” and “ordinary writing.” Since writing is a staging of language, writing practices always reflect an “attention, never entirely absent but more or less acute, to the different levels of the elaboration of the written object (materiality, spelling, lexicon, syntax, textual organization) and by a submission, never totally absent but more or less assumed, to the (linguistic and social) norms that govern these different levels”.

Fiction et sciences sociales

This symposium is a direct extension of the “Fiction & Social Sciences” meeting organized in May 2024, dedicated to contemporary articulations between fiction devices and social science methodologies. The exchanges initiated on this occasion made it possible to deepen already long-standing reflections on the relationships of competition, tension, but also complementarity between academic and fictional writing, paying particular attention to emerging practices such as fictional investigation. The central challenge was to analyze how the hybridization between the documentary and fictional genres shifts the ways of investigating, writing and reproducing research results.

Literary production and poetic trends among Cameroonian academics

L’écrivain intellectuel détient une posture hybride : celle du créateur critique et celle du critique de la création. Tout comme l’écrivain dit de métier, celui-ci se donne pour devoir de redéfinir les canons du livre, mais exprime davantage le refoulé de la critique. C’est ce qui permettra de scruter l’interrelation entre le savoir scientifique et la création littéraire, la double identité de l’universitaire-écrivain et les fonctions sociales de l’universitaire envisagées sous le prisme de l’écrivain. Se préoccuper de cette catégorie d’auteurs reviendrait donc à parcourir une imagination qui rapproche les lecteurs d’une vision assez épurée des problématiques contextuelles.

Westward : Women, Literature, and Human Rights in Europe in the 20th and 21st Centuries

Cet appel à chapitres pour un volume collectif publié chez Droz (2027) invite à construire une histoire littéraire européenne transnationale des femmes migrantes d’Europe de l’Est, du XXe siècle à nos jours. Il s’agit d’analyser, à travers le prisme des droits humains comme catégorie critique, les productions littéraires et intellectuelles de ces écrivaines, souvent reléguées aux marges des canons nationaux, comme des formes de résistance cognitive et des archives alternatives de la violence politique, de l’exil et de la précarité. L’ouvrage entend ainsi combler un angle mort des études littéraires et des droits humains en restituant à ces voix leur pleine dimension d’actrices intellectuelles du débat démocratique européen.

Anarchy and polyarchy: the legacy of two classical Greek concepts at the crossroads between politics and religion (3rd century BC–5th century AD)

This conference aims to study the history and evolution of two classical Greek concepts, anarchy and polyarchy, whose legacy, considered from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, unfolds at the crossroads between politics and religion. It will explore the transmission of the classical Greek, and particularly Platonic, condemnation of anarchy and polyarchy, and its connection with the apologia for monarchy in political and philosophical thought during the Hellenistic and Roman periods and in Judeo-Christian thought.

Our brother Dante

Dante contemporaneo nella World Literature

Nell’ambito del progetto Dante World Writer ? (université de Lorraine, in collaborazione con le università di Strasburgo, Bologna e Verona) la giornata di studi Our brother Dante (Verona, 28 ottobre 2026) si interesserà al rimodellamento dell’immagine di Dante all’interno delle letterature mondiali (lontano dall’Italia), che compensa la distanza geografica con un avvicinamento se non un’annessione storica. Il Dante ‘fratello’ è una variante del Dante pop : implica lo sguardo destoricizzato del postmoderno, ma si situa all’interno del campo letterario e contribuisce a ridefinirlo, poiché solo un ‘certo tipo’ di letteratura si presta ad accogliere questo Dante ‘aggiornato’.

Textual Bodies: Incarnation, Corporeality, and Affective Materialities through Literature

6th Meeting of Young Researchers of the SELGyC

In the contemporary context, marked by technological, cultural, and epistemological transformations that reconfigure our relationship with sensory experience, the body, and materiality, literature continues to function as a privileged space for critical reflection. In the face of discourses that tend to split, mediate, or dematerialize human experience, literary texts insist on the centrality of the body as a site of vulnerability, affect, and meaning-making.

Cultivating one’s own garden, expanding horizons

Mapping the personal and the collective through history of art and the humanities, from Impressionism to the present day

The Seine has shaped the history of the Impressionist movement, which, in turn, left a lasting mark on the land. The research framework of this programme places the focus on this influential geographical backdrop, as part of a broader reflection on our regions. Housing traditions, ways of life, social structures, land uses, and the impact of agricultural and industrial development on the landscape are just some of the lines of research that require further study about Impressionism. This summer school aims to open up new perspectives through cross-disciplinary collaboration while experimenting with scales of analysis, to reflect on the experience of land from the most personal to the most universal.
