Reflection at Work: Representation, Perception and the Making of Light in Art

Depuis quelques années, le développement des Sensory Studies en histoire de l’art tend à réintroduire la prise en compte des perceptions sensorielles dans l’analyse des œuvres (par exemple Constance Claassen pour le toucher, Erika Wicky pour l’odorat, Marta Battisti pour l’ouïe). En s’inscrivant dans ces approches, le workshop « reflets », qui se tiendra à l’INHA (Paris) les 22 et 23 janvier 2026, vise à appréhender de façon interdisciplinaire la question du reflet dans l’art du XVI^e au XVIII^e siècle.

Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism in Contemporary Europe (1960s to the Present): Internationalisation, Circulation and Representations

The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

Courtyards and patios in the Mediterranean

The courtyard or patio house, based on the intimate appropriation of a fragment of sky at the heart of the domestic space, is a major archetype of human habitation. Deeply rooted in Mediterranean traditions, it surprises with its longevity and its ability to generate unique expressions, shaped by the diversity of physical and cultural contexts. This archetype, which has spanned the centuries, from the ancient world to contemporary projects, continues to inspire architects, thinkers, and creators, and has regained particular relevance in light of the challenges of the 21st century, as contemporary issues invite us to rethink modes of dwelling. To explore these dimensions, the conference adopts a multidisciplinary approach structured around four cross-cutting themes. It is aimed at a diverse range of profiles—architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, archaeologists, artists, writers, climatologists, etc.—drawing on scientific contributions, feedback from architects, and artistic expressions.

Urban Transformation in a New Geopolitical Era?

Nexus Thinking in Energy, Food, Ecological and Mobility Transition

Energy, food and ecological system transitions are linked to climate and social issues, as the consequences of rising greenhouse gases and fossil fuel-related use have become the calling card of the Anthropocene, and social conflicts and democratic crises are on the rise. The UERA conference will be of particular interest to scholars interested in systemic perspectives that go beyond mere command and control or dependence on a fixed set of normative frameworks.

Rebels in diplomacy

Singular political experiences on the international stage (15th-18th centuries)

At the crossroads of these different fields, and following on from a first book devoted to this issue during the French Wars of Religion (published in 2022), the aim of our workshop is to observe rebel diplomacy in action. Attention will focus on the following questions, all of which aim to shed light on the grey zones of diplomacy, between marginality, normality and centrality, in which rebel mobilizations contributed to the ferment of international relations in the early modern era.

From gardening to landscaping, from La Quintinie to tomorrow.

The transition from gardening to spatial design or planning, and vice versa, is a common issue in gardens and large parks, both historic and contemporary. The aim of this symposium is to bring together gardeners, historians, geographers, landscape architects, urban planners and other disciplines concerned with the art of gardening and landscape design, to examine and explore this transition between gardening and landscape. The 400^th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Quintinie (March 1^st, 1626), designer and first gardener of the Potager du Roi, and the 50^th anniversary of the creation of the Ecole nationale supérieure de paysage at the Potager du Roi (October 15^th 1976) serve as catalysts.

Searching for Homosexuality in Judicial Archives

Epistemological, Methodological and Political Challenges (18 th-20 th centuries)

This workshop aims to explore the epistemological, methodological and political challenges of using judicial archives to conduct historical research on homosexuality. It will be held on 7 and 8 November 2025 at Campus Condorcet in Aubervilliers, France (Paris area). It is open to all early career researchers (master's, doctoral and post-doctoral researchers) conducting investigations into the history of homosexuality using court records and/or other judicial documents, whatever their discipline. This edition focuses specifically on the issue of framing the object of research and on categories of analysis in the history of homosexuality, and how these are put to the test by confrontation with this material.

Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences

The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.

Frank Lloyd Wright's legacy in France: transmissions, appropriations, hybridizations

By focusing on the legacy of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in France, this conference is intended our knowledge of a still unknown part of French architectural production of the second half of the second half of the twentieth century, a prolific period for architecture, but of which certain aspects remain to be explored and questioned, particularly approaches and proposals outside the mainstream.

Les arts du Moyen Âge et de la Renaissance du XIXe siècle : réception, collectionnisme et ré interprétations

The issues to be addressed during these study days are intended to complement and, above all, rediscover a still little-known aspect of the reception of the arts of the Middle Ages (5th-15thc.) and the Renaissance (15th-16 thc.) during the long 19th century. The timeframe chosen for this exploration will begin in the 1820s and 1830s, when the “neo” medieval and Renaissance movements emerged, and will end at the dawn of the First World War. While architecture and painting have been examined in the light of neo-medieval and neo-Renaissance trends, sculpture, the decorative arts in the broadest sense and the graphic arts have received less attention.

On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals: Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives

This conference explores the identification of individuals in Prehistory—a topic that inspired several foundational studies in the late 1970s and 1980s. Nearly 50 years later, where do we stand? From the Palaeolithic to the Metal Ages, how can we attempt to identify individuals through the full range of available archaeological remains and materials? What methods can we employ to achieve this? What are the conditions of their use, their levels of resolution, and more broadly, their advantages and limitations? By applying these methods, what insights can we hope to gain into the social and economic organisation of past societies? Finally, how can we envision the future of this ambitious, yet undeniably complex, field of research?

The Neglected Times of Architecture

By bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives, this conference seeks to unfold the multiple temporal dimensions of architecture and the built environment, to foreground the actions, resources, and actors implicated in these processes, and to explore research methodologies capable of apprehending such dynamics. The event will also feature a dedicated space for the exhibition of audio/visual materials stemming from research engaging with these themes. Submissions may therefore take the form of traditional oral presentations, as well as shorter presentations centred on one or more audio/visual pieces—such as photographs, films, drawings, maps...

California as the Epicenter of Social Sciences

California occupies a central position in American studies and has inspired countless papers and books from its admission to statehood up to the present. This international symposium aims to gather and unify the various strands of social science research—including American studies, sociology, social anthropology, history, political science, and geography—whose methodologies (archival work, oral history, ethnography, participant observation, semi-structured interviews, etc.) allow for an intersectional examination of territorial, social, and racial inequalities and policies in California. It will offer a forum for field insights into the challenges and difficulties faced by France-based scholars in applying these methodologies to distant research fields.

Marc Bloch in Brazil. History and Social Sciences

The conference proposes a critical reflection on the work and legacy of Marc Bloch (1886–1944), a central figure in historical studies as a social science. His path as a medievalist, co-founder of the Annales, and committed intellectual reveals an interdisciplinary and transnational approach that remains highly relevant today. The event aims to explore the reception of his ideas and their impact on the human and social sciences, bringing together history, theory, and political engagement.

Qual è il contributo della tradizione giuridica romanistica alle sfide poste dalla scienza e dalle nuove tecnologie?

Les sources juridiques romaines sont référencées dans de vastes corpus (par exemple, le Digeste, les codes et autres littératures juridiques). Elles constituent une base qualitative solide. Un ouvrage pionnier vient de paraître (R. Perani, IA e Digesta e Digesta Iustiniani, Milan 2023) dans lequel l’auteur a soumis à l’intelligence artificielle la casuistique juridique, issue des compilations de Justinien, afin de tester la fiablilité prédictive de l’intelligence artificielle. Plus généralement, cette rencontre sera l’occasion d’aborder la capacité des algorithmes à comprendre le raisonnement et la logique de la science juridique romaine à travers une approche comparatiste.
