Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Geography and Religious Knowledge in the Medieval World (1150–1550)
In the premodern world, geographical knowledge was heavily influenced by religious ideas and beliefs. The conference seeks to analyse, how the religious character of geographic knowledge in the period from ca. 1150 to 1550 lingered on in classical as well as new forms of (re)presenting geography.

Financialization and development policies
Critical perspectives on new financial circuits for international development projects
In this conference we look at the ways in which private finance actors or practices are enrolled and associated to the conception and implementation of policies for international development. In parallel to the implementation of policies oriented towards “development goals”, the development landscape has seen over the last decades a transformation in partaking actors that now encompass charitable foundations, multi-national corporations, and financial intermediaries, in addition to multilateral or bilateral public development banks and aid agencies. “Financing development“, in other words finding additional monetary resources, has now become an issue at the top of the agenda of multilateral development actors. Increasingly, these strive to commit private actors and to “lever in“ private money.

Call for papers - Representation
Le colloque « Art contemporain et marges » interroge le rôle des marges dans les définitions de l'art contemporain, et notamment dans celles qu’élaborent ses acteurs. Il s’agira de comprendre les marges et la marginalité dans le champ de l’art selon leur caractère double : comme prise de position programmatique ou comme situation imposée. La réflexion sur la marginalité est-elle à même de mettre en lumière des traits spécifiques à l’art contemporain ? Cette problématique sera abordée dans une perspective interdisciplinaire – croisant les champs de la sociologie, de la philosophie, de la géographie et de l'histoire de l'art – et internationale.

Call for papers - Political studies
Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe
We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational. -

Geographie(s) of education in european border regions
The making and breaking of (b)orders?
Explorant la question des relations entre frontière(s) et éducation, le colloque « Education et frontières. Géographies de l’éducation dans les régions frontalières européennes : faire et défaire les frontières ? » s’intéressera plus spécifiquement aux régions (trans) frontalières de l’Union européenne et questionnera l’évolution des paysages institutionnels dans ces espaces. Le colloque se fixe deux objectifs. Premièrement, nous souhaitons interroger les changements institutionnels qui interviennent aux différents niveaux des systèmes éducatifs locaux et nationaux (de la maternelle à l’université). Deuxièmement, nous nous intéresserons aux mobilités géographiques des enseignants et des élèves et/ou des étudiants. Les contributions devront explorer la « fabrique » et les reconfigurations des frontières éducatives dans différents contextes européens. -

Le thème retenu - Discontinuités, ruptures et différences - sera l'occasion d'une réflexion transnationale et transdisciplinaire sur les objets, méthodes et théories de la géographie, dans le cadre d'une conception constructiviste.
