Open Theology invites submissions for the topical issue “Women and Gender in the Bible and the Biblical World II”, edited by Zanne Domoney-Lyttle and Sarah Nicholson.

Open Theology invites submissions for the topical issue “The Bible and Migration”, prepared in collaboration with the conference The Bible on the Move: Toward a Biblical Theology of Migration, held at Fuller Theological Seminary in January 2020. This special issue asks how cutting-edge biblical scholarship should inform conversation about and action relating to migration in the twenty-first century, bridging the gap between biblical studies, theology, and activism. Articles should examine how the biblical texts reflect diverse migrant experiences, as well as ways in which these texts reflect theologically on migration and appropriate responses to it among migrants and host communities. Articles may also critically interrogate the Bible’s use in arguments over migration and migrants’ reception by host communities.

Blockchain, the theological and religious imagination
Les études sur les technologies blockchain se multiplient. Elles envisagent en général les dimensions économiques, sociales et juridiques de ces technologies qui entendent renouveler le contrat social de bien des façons. Comme toute technologie émergente, la blockchain mobilise un imaginaire fiévreux, souvent nourri de références religieuses ou théologiques. Quel est leur statut ? Quelle influence exercent-elles sur la réception ou le développement de ces technologies ? Cette journée d’études, conclusion d’un séminaire conduit entre janvier et juin 2020 au sein du département Humanisme numérique du Collège des Bernardins, cherchera à décrypter cet imaginaire religieux.

Proof: procedures, protocols, processes
Pour la quatrième année consécutive, l’Association des doctorants du Centre d’études supérieures de la Renaissance (ADCESR) organise à Tours ses rencontres doctorales pluridisciplinaires. Cette année les journées d’étude porteront sur le thème de la preuve à la Renaissance. La notion de preuve a surtout été thématisée par les historiens du droit et des sciences. Un effort de formalisation des protocoles s’observe en effet à la Renaissance, à travers la multiplication des traités juridiques cherchant à régler l’usage des modi probationum comme dans la métamorphose du statut de l’observation dans les sciences physiques et la médecine. Les discussions autour de l’écriture de la preuve s’inscrivent ainsi dans un ensemble de pratiques professionnelles et institutionnelles qu’il s’agira de mettre en lumière. Le cadre pluridisciplinaire de cette journée d’étude offre l’occasion d’élargir l’examen à l’ensemble des champs du savoir et de la pratique, afin d’analyser la preuve et les modes de son établissement.

Les Cahiers d’études des cultures ibériques et latino-américaines (CECIL)
The problem of representation is central to the disciplinary fields of all the human and social sciences, most often implicitly. This omnipresence sometimes makes us forget that it is a notion whose definition, status and function are subject to the fluctuations of history. What interests us is the discrepancy between what this notion has been able to encompass over time and what it encompasses nowadays, as well as the explanation that can be given to these discrepancies or possible ruptures. The reflection focuses in particular on the link between the notion of representation and the notions of 'heritage' - tangible or intangible objects, but also products of a social construction - and of 'memory', since it is constructed through concrete representations, whether social or discursive practices.

The Classics in the Pulpit. Ancient Literature and Preaching in the Middle Ages
The aim of the conference is to shed new light on this both striking and irritating practice. Papers (25 min) can deal with topics such as the reasons and occasions for the use of the classics in preaching, the hermeneutic and literary strategies applied in order to adapt pagan mythology to homiletic needs, the social and educational background of preachers and their audiences, the connections of classicizing sermons with other fields of literature such as vernacular poetry, or the discourse they provoked within the clerical milieu. Applications from all relevant disciplines (e.g. history, literature, theology, philosophy) are welcome.

Real, virtual and imaginary - pluridisciplinary perspectives
Regards pluridisciplinaires
Fidèle à sa mission fédératrice, l’université de la Manouba annonce l’organisation de la VIIIe édition de son symposium scientifique, un événement phare au cours duquel elle invite annuellement les chercheurs de tout horizon à adopter une approche réflexive et à croiser les regards disciplinaires autour du système des catégories modales que l’on utilise pour distinguer les différents rapports de la pensée aux choses et au monde. Après la transversalité, le territoire, les représentations, le temps, l'ordre, les normes et le genre, trois catégories sont proposées pour la réflexion pluridisciplinaire de 2020 : le réel, le virtuel et l’imaginaire.

Olivier Clément, a man in history
Historien, théologien, résistant, Olivier Clément (1921-2009) a traversé le XXe siècle en saisissant ses défis majeurs : le rapport avec le cosmos, les mutations culturelles, les totalitarismes, la place des religions et du christianisme, le nihilisme, la rencontre avec les Orients… Dix ans après sa mort, sa trace et son héritage sont toujours vivants, du Languedoc aux multiples rivages de l’Europe où il a porté sa voix singulière. Ce colloque interrogera son rôle dans le siècle et sa vision des grandes questions de l’humain.

The nominalist twist in theology
Research into the Quodlibeta by Robert Holcot (c. 1330)
Les questions quodlibétales, dont la date exacte est inconnue, abordent l’ensemble des problèmes théologiques débattus dans les années 1330. Elles permettent donc de se faire une idée précise de la physionomie des débats à la faculté de théologie et d’identifier les transformations qui sont à l’œuvre dans cette période qui annonce déjà la Modernité. L'édition des quelque cent questions quodlibétales d'Holcot, présentée et discutée pour la première fois dans ce colloque, est l’étude d’un cas paradigmatique, qui par son impact ultérieur permet de saisir sur le vif les mutations intellectuelles et culturelles du Moyen Âge tardif. Le colloque sera composé d’une part de conférences plénières qui restitueront de façon plus large certains enjeux discutés par Holcot et par des ateliers où les membres de l’équipe éditoriale présenteront les questions qu’il leur revenait d’éditer.

Innovation and medieval communities in north west Europe (1200-1500)
En quoi l’innovation participe-t-elle de la redéfinition des groupes sociaux entre le XIIIe et le XVIe siècle ? Inscrit dans un vaste programme de recherche, dédié à l’étude de l’innovation en contexte à la fin du Moyen Âge, l’objectif de ce premier colloque, dont le but est d’amorcer une collaboration suivie autour de ce thème de recherche, sera donc triple : Observer l’accueil de l’innovation en fonction des communautés étudiées ; repérer des stratégies de diffusion ou de refus, toujours en fonction des différentes communautés retenues ; comprendre le complexe régime de novation et de transformation dans ces sociétés pré-modernes qui, d’un côté réprouvent « la novelleté », et de l’autre répondent à des impératifs de changement.

Klêsis Journal
Max Weber died in 1920. That will be 100 years in 2020. For this anniversary, Klêsis wishes to address a part of its work that has not been explored in a general way, his relationship to philosophy. In French, important works have analysed deeply the philosophical orientations of Weber's thought. They were able to question the problem of Weberian values and epistemology, but also his philosophical conception of reason and history, his understanding of religion in history, or his analyses on the rational social subject. In other languages, Jürgen Habermas' long interpretation of Weber in his Theorie des kommunikativen Handelns has given rise to a striking philosophical presence of Weber in political philosophy: Weber is one of the fathers of contemporary rationalist political philosophers. Finally, the philosophy of religion extends Weber's work on Protestant ethics, showing other places and manifestations of secularization effects. However, his work is so vast, its themes and the disciplines he has implemented so numerous, that many other fields of contemporary philosophy are heirs to his work. Cependant, son œuvre est si vaste, ses thématiques et les disciplines qu’il a mises en œuvre si nombreuses, que de nombreux autres domaines de la philosophie contemporaine sont héritiers de son œuvre.

Conception, birth and childhood
“New Comparative Mythology” Journal, 5
New Comparative Mythology, a peer-reviewed journal of comparative mythology with an international editorial board, issues, for its fifth volume, a call for papers on the topic “conception, birth and childhood”. In many mythologies, these three initial phases of the existence of divine, heroic, monstrous and other figures have given rise to many traditions. In addition, various beliefs and practices, which are lent legendary or mythical precedents, also rhythm this period which goes from the fertilization to the edge of the initiatory phase of the individuals. It is on the comparative study of this vast field of research that the articles submitted to our review will have to relate.
