Advances and challenges of NLP (Natural Language Processing) for african languages
How far have we come?
This workshop will bring together NTeALan’s large community of members living in Cameroon and abroad, invited researchers, partners and other members of the scientific community. This workshop aims at bringing together professionals, researchers and experts in African languages and Natural Language Processing (NLP), whose research work focuses on machine learning techniques and electronic lexicography applied to NLP and language pedagogy/didactics. We will also discuss the main challenges that arise in this context for the constitution of corpora in African languages. We will define possible directions for future progress.

Shame, Shaming, and Online Image Sharing
Journal First Monday
We are preparing a special issue for the open-access journal First Monday on the topic of shame and shaming around the practices of sharing images online. Vernacular mobile images are the visual intersection of everyday life and popular culture, taken, viewed on and/or shared from mobile devices. They are the building blocks of our visual co-construction of reality. But, what can the experiences of shame and shaming related to practices of sharing more or less intimate vernacular mobile images indicate about our digitally connected societies and about contemporary subjectivities?

The representations of ethnoracial minorities in the French audiovisual world
From TV stations to digital platforms
Cette journée d'étude propose d’étudier comment les modes de représentation des minorités ethnoraciales (Safi, 2013 ; Cervulle, 2013) ont évolué en France au sein d’une offre de contenus audiovisuels alimentée de façon croissante par des médias issus du web, souvent étrangers, et échappant donc à toute régulation ou politique volontariste hexagonale en la matière. Elle s'appuie sur un double cadrage interdisciplinaire : un premier d'ordre socio-économique et un second d'ordre socio-technique.

Artistic, Digital, and Political Creation in English-Speaking African Countries
Africa 2020
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. Even if this cultural focus cannot be abstracted from a broader geopolitical agenda marred by controversial presidential declarations, it nevertheless has the potential to offer a somewhat different coverage of the continent. One can only hope that it avoids the temptation to officially “curate into being” “exceptional” artists (Dovey), tapping into the all-too-familiar image of Africa as “the supreme receptacle of the West’s obsession with, and circular discourse about, the facts of ‘absence,’ ‘lack,’ and ‘non-being,’ of identity and difference” (Mbembe).

Africa 2020: Artistic, digital, and political creation in english-speaking African countries
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. The peer-reviewed journal of Aix-Marseille Université research centre on Anglophone Studies (LERMA), E-rea, has decided to seize the opportunity of Africa 2020 to dedicate a special issue to contemporary artistic, digital, and political creation in English-speaking African countries. Heeding Kenyan political analyst Nanjala Nyabola’s advice to eschew the too reductive ‘Africa rising’ and ‘Africa failing’ narratives in favour of ‘Africa being’ stories, this special issue wishes to focus on “stories reflecting the ambivalence, complexity, challenges and opportunities of African societ[ies] in an increasingly connected world”.

New technology-based metamorphosis in Japan
In Japan, the kyara-ka phenomenon, ‘transforming into a character’ (Aihara Hiroyuki, 2007) is now giving birth to what Nozawa Shunsuke (2013) calls ‘an emerging art of self–fashioning.’ Based on elaborate disguise techniques, the kyara-ka phenomenon covers a variety of communication strategies and practices: cosplay, kigurumi, Vtubing, utaloid voice banks, use of voice-image filters to upload videos where humans look like characters… Exploring all the aspects of this ‘thingification of humans’, the conference will reflect on how and why a growing number of people market themselves as characters. The conference goal is to address the complexity of issues raised by these voluntary and, perhaps, ironical acts of obliteration. What is the profile of men and women who transform themselves into computer-graphic creatures? How do they deal with being loved only through their digital alter-ego? What little or grand narratives are being produced alongside? Can we still deal with the phenomenon in terms of authenticity (original) versus artificiality (copy)? What negotiations or refusals underly the use of characters as social masks?

Pathos. Forms and fortunes of literary emotions
The goal of this summer school is to explore the role of emotions in literature, namely with respect to the excess of pathos in different forms and times. Pathos has been a fundamental aspect of literature in every epoch. Great poetry has always foregrounded its ability to represent feelings, evoke intense and vivid moods, and elicit readers’ emotions and empathy. On the other hand, the novel – the genre dominating literary modernity – has been o!en accused of indulging in sentimental excess, giving too much space to melodramatic expression. Indeed, in Western cultures, there is a widespread suspicion towards pathos, which has o!en been identified as a shortcoming of literature. Great books – according to a common implicit assumption – can prompt reflection and laughter, but not tears: pathos only concerns lowbrow production. The summer school is an opportunity to engage in a reflection on issues related to pathos in literature in the last few centuries. Different perspectives will be taken into account: specific literary works, reader response theory, cognitive narratology, transmedia adaptation, and publishing history.

Conference, symposium - Modern
Cultural encounters in the nineteenth century
The exhibition The Dutch in Paris, which was on show in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam and in the Petit Palais, Paris during the fall of 2017 and spring of 2018 respectively, aimed to visualize the artistic exchange between Dutch and French artists between 1789 and 1914. As part of a larger research project, set up by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, the exhibition generated so much response that ESNA, in collaboration with the RKD and NWO, decided to organize an international conference on the subject, focusing specifically on international as well as national and local points of encounter and how they facilitated artistic exchange.

Paris 05 Panthéon
Avec le mot affectio, nous mobilisons un ensemble de notions toujours pas stabilisé du fait de leur richesse sémantique et épaisseur théorique (sensation, perception, sentiment, émotion, passion, stimmung, empathie, affect), qui sont engagées dans la relation entre l’homme et le robot. Les séances seront organisées autour (1) de la problématique de la communication corporelle/affective/émotive du sentir, (2) des modifications de la relation intersubjective, (3) du sentiment qui élabore des imaginaires (individuels et sociaux), (4) de la structure de signification politique, culturelle et identitaire, qui organise la réalité sociale (5) de l’éthique robotique.

Minorities and religious cohabitation from the Middle Ages to the present day
La diversité religieuse en Europe s'enracine dans les pratiques des sociétés médiévales. Les dirigeants du Moyen Âge, chrétiens et musulmans, accordèrent des statuts protégés et inférieurs à certaines minorités religieuses. L'étude des sources juridiques montre que les sociétés médiévales, comme la nôtre, ont subi des changements constants en matière religieuse et que la cohabitation, certes pas toujours pacifique, a été la règle plutôt que l'exception dans l'histoire européenne. Le programme de recherche RELMIN, qui travaille depuis 2010 sur l’étude sur le statut légal des minorités religieuses dans les sociétés médiévales, dresse le bilan d’une recherche scientifique approfondi et livre, à l’occasion de ce colloque international, ses observations pour une meilleure compréhension de l’héritage multi-religieux européen.

Dizionario di eretici, dissidenti e inquisitori
Ereticopedia
Ereticopedia si fonda sull'idea-base è di costruire un dizionario on line di personaggi e movimenti che si sono opposti alla "norma", rivendicando il diritto alla libertà personale, di pensiero, di espressione, di azione, il diritto al dissenso e il primato della coscienza individuale su regole, dottrine e rituali di comportamento imposti dall'alto ovvero comunemente accettati dalle società in cui ebbero la sorte di vivere. Cioè che hanno scelto di esercitare (con coraggio e spesso al prezzo della propria vita) diritti che dovrebbero costituire la base della nostra attuale società, che spesso si proclama figlia dei valori illuministici, ma appartenenti anche alla più autentica tradizione cristiana, di tolleranza e rispetto della dignità della persona.

Digital studies, the organology of knowledge and the industrial technologies of knowledge
Preparatory seminars for the Entretiens du nouveau industriel 2012
Le but de ce séminaire et du colloque qu’il prépare est d’appréhender la question des digital humanities à partir de la question plus large et plus radicale des digital studies conçues comme une rupture épistémologique généralisée – c’est à dire affectant toutes les formes de savoirs rationnels – , mais aussi comme une rupture anthropologique – dans la mesure où ce sont aussi les savoirs empiriques sous toutes leurs formes qui sont altérés. -
