Des morts privés de funérailles de la Préhistoire à nos jours
Ces deux journées d’études se proposent d’entamer une réflexion diachronique et interdisciplinaire (associant l’archéologie, l’anthropologie sociale et l’histoire) afin d’aborder, d’une part, la diversité des motivations qui conduisent à la privation intentionnelle de funérailles et, d’autre part, le cheminement intellectuel qui permet à partir des seules données archéologiques d’attester de l’absence de traitement funéraire. Nous souhaitons ainsi consacrer une première journée aux cas de privation de funérailles qui questionnent le statut des individus (condamné à mort, vaincu des batailles, esclave, personne âgée ou handicapée...), et une seconde aux cas qui questionnent les circonstances ou la cause des décès (malmort, suicide…).

The Dynamics of Ritual and Embodiment in Contemporary Religion and Spirituality
Methodological and theoretical issues
Within the framework of International Society for the Sociology of Religion 36th Conference (12 July - 15 July 2021), this panel aims to explore and discuss methodological and theoretical issues related to ethnographic research on sensory and bodily experiences in contemporary religion and spirituality. This panel invites scholars to present their contributions that include sensoriality as a central aspect of their research, either as a methodological tool (completing classical methodologies); or as a theoretical perspective to approach sensory settings and bodily (inter-)actions.

Populism: Theoretical Confusion, Contexts of proliferation and Comparative Experiences
Although most researchers unanimously agreed on the modernity of populism, this should in no way discourage us from further examining the implications of this phenomenon and its origins in ancient history. The search for the historical roots of populism, that some relate to early times, is only an attempt to establish its origin. However, the subsequent transformations of populism in meaning and practice have made it difficult to discern its limits. Apparently, this critical approach seems to be inaccessible due to many considerations, including the transformations of populism in terms of concept and practice to the point of almost losing its first forms. According to this approach, it is more likely that real beginnings of populism coincided with the emergence of modern democracy showing signs of deficiency.

Space, racism and racialisation
L’objectif de ce numéro de la revue Espace & Sociétés est de confronter différents contextes géographiques nationaux afin d’interroger les mécanismes sociaux, politiques et institutionnels qui produisent une altérité fondée sur la race - dans les processus d’urbanisation notamment, mais pas exclusivement. Autrement écrit, nous nous intéressons au rôle du racisme dans la constitution d’un « spatialisme racial ».

Understanding images and media sounds (CEISME)
Le séminaire Comprendre les Images et les Sons Médiatiques (CEISME) (Sorbonne Nouvelle-CIM) présente les recherches actuelles en matière de culture(s) audiovisuelle(s) et télévisuelle(s), sans oublier les contenus transitant par les nouveaux écrans, en invitant aux dialogues chercheurs.es. confirmé·es et jeunes chercheurs·es. Trop souvent les liens entre culture et télévision se résument à la seule question de la télévision culturelle, entendue comme culture savante. Or, la télévision demeure encore le principal vecteur de la culture populaire. C’est pourquoi l’étude de ses formes, de ses récits sériels ou unitaires, de ses dispositifs de médiatisation et de ses programmes mérite qu’on accorde une attention particulière à la part de création ainsi engagée dans ces productions « grand public » qui ne cessent de reconfigurer ainsi la notion de culture. Ce séminaire, ouvert à toutes et tous, propose un regard croisé sur les créations audiovisuelles d’hier et d’aujourd’hui.

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.

Fear and the upheaval to habits in the age of the pandemic
Si l’on remonte le temps de plusieurs siècles, nous pouvons chercher à comprendre si non seulement les pandémies, mais aussi d’autres événements traumatisants du passé comme les tremblements de terre ou les éruptions volcaniques, ont affecté quelque habitude collective en particulier, et selon quelle logique. Plus directement, nous pouvons aussi observer si les habitudes propres à un territoire peuvent être modelées en réponse à un risque naturel et/ou par prévention face à un aléa, eu égard des enjeux. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsqu’un événement imprévu, comme une pandémie, bouleverse le cours normal de la société ?

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Christian Initiation from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages
On the occasion of this meeting dedicated to baptism and baptisteries, we intend to highlight the spatialization of baptismal rituals and their evolution between Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, by comparing different geographical areas within the boundaries of the Roman Empire and its neighbouring regions. Through the dialogue between written sources and archaeology, we would like to investigate whether baptismal practices could assert regional or confessional Christian identities.

En posant, la question des impostures et des vérités en art(s) à partir d’œuvres singulières, il s’agit de s’interroger lors du colloque, sur la manière dont chaque artiste s’arrange ou dérange la « société de l’imposture » en proposant des formes de création inédites, en ayant par exemple recours dans leurs fictions : au plagiat, à la tromperie, au faux dans les productions proposées à leurs publics, pour transgresser de manière critique les impostures présentes dans l’ordinaire de nos vies.

Delinquency, crimes and repression in History
The question of delinquency, in the most general sense of the term, is particularly complex because criminologists, sociologists, psychologists, psychoanalysts, doctors, lawyers, and historians who have studied this subject extensively have often expressed very different and even contradictory opinions. Difficulties arise as soon as the phenomenon is to be defined. In French law, the word “delinquency” designates all types of offenses. These fall into three categories: transgressions; which constitute very light offenses, crimes which are at an intermediate level, and crimes among including murders, non-premeditated voluntary homicides, and the assassinations, premeditated voluntary homicides. In recent years, in many countries, rape has entered this category of crimes. The Arabic language differentiates between delinquency (“inhiraf”) which designates minor crimes and the crime (“jarima”) which applies to the most serious crimes and offenses.

1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)
The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

How are norms challenged by disabilities?
This 9th conference aims to discuss the construction of normality and, more broadly, the system of thought that structures our societies in which being “able” is the norm in the sense of both the most widespread and the most desirable situation. The aim of this critical perspective is therefore to highlight how our societies are structured in relation to the notion of the able individual. While the recent call to build inclusive societies would appear to herald a radical turning point, what is the reality? Have we truly finished with representations of disability that tend towards the negative, the defective or even the tragic? To what extend are the “heroized” figures of disability, omnipresent in the public space, perpetrating the representation of disability as a deviation from the norm?
