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.

Session at The Renaissance Society of America Annual Meeting 2021
This panel aims to bring together coordinators of digital projects - completed or in progress - around the lexicon and the scientific edition of texts of artistic or technical literature, with researchers who have adopted this terminological approach to analyze in an innovative way well known or unpublished texts, related to the production, the practice of the arts and interpretative theories derived from practice and which marked the history of taste. The papers will aim to provoke discussions about the method, contributions and perspectives of the lexicographic approach in the artistic field, in an interdisciplinary logic, in order to federate language historians, digital humanities specialists and art historians.

Intersections. New perspectives for public humanities
HFC-INT 2020
The international network Humanities for Change, in accordance with the interdisciplinary spirit and the contaminatory approach that characterize its activities, intends to organize a day of study on the theme of public humanities. The meeting aims to stimulate some reflections coming from different fields of knowledge and to encourage the dialogue between researchers on the possibilities of the humanities to escape from academic circles. In this sense, the main object of study is the analysis of methodologies and tools related to knowledge dissemination practices for historical, artistic and philological-literary disciplines. Particular attention will also be given to new professional figures connected to the degree courses of the humanities faculties (such as the 'public historian') and to the interactions of these professional figures with the new media of communication and mass dissemination.

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).

From postmodernism to posthumanism. Latin-American literature and cinema
Suite à la journée d’étude « Le temps du posthumain ? » qui s’est tenue à l’université Paris Diderot-Paris 7 et à Bétonsalon – Centre d’art et de recherche le 2 juin 2017, il s’agit de poursuivre la réflexion autour du posthumanisme et ses représentations littéraires et cinématographiques, cette fois-ci en Amérique latine.
Initialement programmée le 4 juin de cette année, la journée consacrée à la question « Du postmodernisme au posthumanisme. Littérature et cinéma latino-américains » est reportée et sera accompagnée par une autre journée sur le même sujet mais sans les limites géographiques et chronologiques. Le présent appel concerne cette dernière journée. Le colloque aura lieu les 27 et 28 novembre 2020.

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?

Topography and urban planning in Ancient Rome
Dans le cadre du projet «Plan de Rome virtuel», l’équipe ERLIS organise, un colloque international réunissant les principaux spécialistes actuels de la Rome antique.
Il s’agit cette fois de se concentrer plus particulièrement, sur des questions de topographie, d’urbanisme, de «forme urbaine». Les communications contribueront d’une manière ou d’une autre au travail de restitution virtuelle de la Rome de 320 ap. J.-C., mais les sujets abordés seront divers: questions de localisation et d’identification des édifices, réseau viaire, habitat et commerces, espaces verts, adduction d’eau et assainissement, relief… Émergeront aussi des thématiques particulières telles que la présence des premiers édifices chrétiens au début du IVe siècle, l’état physique des bâtiments publics et privés (que peut-on savoir de l’état de dégradation de certains d’entre eux à cette époque?), l’ambiance sonore de la ville…

Patrimoines et numérique : un état de la recherche et des expérimentations
L’évolution des technologies numériques ne modifient pas seulement les missions des institutions patrimoniales et leurs rapports avec la société : elles transforment le patrimoine lui-même et questionnent leur exigence première, la conservation. Elles invitent les acteurs patrimoniaux à acquérir du recul et des savoir-faire nécessaires pour maîtriser les révolutions du web social, alors que déjà l’on prédit la révolution du web des objets. L’Occitanie est un territoire où les expérimentations, les initiatives et les projets traitant d’un ou de plusieurs de ces enjeux se sont particulièrement engagés. L’écosystème numérique y est porteur. Aussi, ce numéro vise à publier des contributions notamment sur les thèmes suivants : le numérique et les enjeux de la conservation ; le numérique au service de la connaissance patrimoniale, les valorisations numériques et l’évolution technologique et des usages pour raconter le patrimoine, jouer avec lui, et in fine, faire évoluer les publics.

L’approche transversale adoptée dans l’étude pluridisciplinaire des usages des patrimoines numérisés nous conduit, pour cette séance du séminaire UDPN en collaboration avec plusieurs membres du projet Valconum, à nous interroger sur les questions de mutualisation des recherches et des développements d’applications entre projets de recherche mais aussi avec d'autres partenaires publics et privés (entreprises innovantes, prestataires, partenaires institutionnels, etc.). Une attention particulière sera portée lors de cette séance aux outils (applications notamment) permettant d'automatiser la recherche et la présentation d'informations au sein de divers corpus de patrimoines numérisés (images et textes) qui seront présentés par des membres du projet Valconum et des membres du réseau UDPN.
