Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

Awareness Drawing

Methods and pedagogies

For over a century, researchers and clinicians have been interested in using drawings to understand bodily experience. Some of the best known are: Goodenough's drawing of the man (1926) and Palmer's pain charts (1949). Today, there has been a renewal of these techniques through a range of visual materials. Thus, drawing still aims to show what cannot always be said or written. It will also launch a debate on research methodologies.

Entering literature

“How I became a writer”: writers frequently give retrospective accounts of their professional journeys, shaped by lofty ambitions and the challenges faced in gaining recognition. The profession of a writer appears to remain relatively unformalized all around the world, and marked by a temporal gap between vocation and consecration. “Entering literature” is thus the subject of biographical reassessments, in which authors seek to locate the points of entry into the literary vocation, prior to any recognition. We seek to explore literary forms of self-narration that recount the experiences of becoming a writer. While essential in shaping authorial postures, these accounts are often at odds with the actual conditions of writing. In the attempt to understand how these accounts intersect with experiences of literary exposure, authorial postures, and literary genres, we examine a broad range of situations and pay attention to cultural variability. Attending to these first-person narratives of entering literature thus enables us to consider subjective self-perceptions alongside external designations from different legitimizing bodies, such as critics, academics, and institutions.

Possession and its expressions: Corpus linguistics, specialised languages, translation, acquisition/learning

The aim of this conference is to examine the notion of possession and its various forms (alienable/inalienable possession, part-whole relationships), with a focus on corpus linguistics. Given the advent of the theoretical framework of Construction Grammar (Goldberg 1995), and in the era of digital humanities, new statistical methods (calculations of sparsity, density of occurrences, productivity, visualisations with decision trees, etc.) have emerged. This enables multifactorial analyses to be proposed on the basis of large amounts of data.

Writing and Screen

Writing for, in and about film and audiovisual productions

L’Afeccav propose de se pencher, à l’occasion de son 13^e congrès, sur les liens multiples tissés entre l’écrit et les écrans, dans les processus de création mais aussi de réception ainsi que dans les œuvres, et en considérant tant les productions écrites proprement dites que les modalités d’écriture. Trois types de relations pourront être envisagés. Le premier se déploie lors de la phase de préparation et de réalisation des œuvres, regroupant le vaste ensemble des écrits scénaristiques. Un deuxième englobe les écrits qui accompagnent et commentent les productions audiovisuelles écrits critiques ou journalistiques, historiques, analytiques ou théoriques. Un troisième ensemble, enfin, couvre la présence de l’écrit à l’écran. Nous souhaiterions orienter les réflexions autour de quatre axes : le repérage d’auteurs et de corpus jusque-là peu étudiés, les dialogues qui s’établissent entre le mot et l’image, la question des circulations médiatiques et la présence de l’écrit sur l’écran.

Brian De Palma : la politique des images

Brian De Palma: The Politics of Images

In 2025, the US filmmaker Brian De Palma will turn 85. To celebrate this New Hollywood pioneer and his impressive body of work (30 feature-length fiction films, not counting ongoing projects, documentaries and shorts), this symposium will look at the director’s filmography primarily through political and aesthetic approaches, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on a much-studied body of work. It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

Political Speeches in Film

In 1970, Michel Foucault highlighted the links between discourse and power in his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France : “I am supposing that in every society the production of discourse is at once controlled, selected, organized and redistributed according to a certain number of procedures, whose role is to avert its powers and its dangers […]”. This issue is also found in films. Even though Costa-Gavras has stated that “cinema is not a political discourse but a spectacle”, it seems that political discourse and movies are closely linked. This is demonstrated by the many films in which characters speak out in public to defend a cause, exploring the very nature of politics as the art of representation.

The Media of Art/The Arts of Media

XII. International Congress of the German Society of Aesthetics

So-called “media art” has been around not only since technical media began to intervene in the art world; there has never been media-free art. There is no art that does not express itself in certain media, be it image, sound, light, space or language. There is no art that does not rely on marble and chisel, colour and canvas, pen and paper, sound waves and screen, bits and bytes. Neither media nor materials are ever external to a work of art; rather, aesthetic meaning only arises through the respective medial-material configuration and would be invalid without it. The XII. Congress of the German Society for Aesthetics will focus on the question of the media of the arts.

Must one imagine Sisyphus happy?

On the occasion of the multimedia exhibition «Must one imagine Sisyphus happy?», a symposium, also titled «Must one imagine Sisyphus happy?», aims to explore the discourses and postures that emerge from literary texts over the centuries (16th-21st centuries) concerning the ethics of work. From Robinson Crusoe to Annie Ernaux, we wish to engage, through a series of case studies, with the inner lives of the characters represented over the centuries. We will also question the perspectives and postures of the narrators, as well as those of the authors (who sometimes, especially before the 20^th century, represent labour without having experienced it firsthand). In short, we wish to delve into the ambivalence of literary texts.

Possibilities of the Contemporary Landscape

Contemporary representations of landscapes are evolving considering the new climatic, political, and technological challenges. The advent of the Anthropocene has led to a reevaluation of the relationship between humans and nature and, consequently, the mode of landscape representation, not only as a motif, but also as a form and construction. Additionally, the fragmentation of memories, the growth of new technologies, and the constant flux of images disrupt the way contemporary artists represent life. This workshop will compare different techniques and construction systems to think about the landscape as a motif, subject, and theoretical concept facing today's challenges.

Student press in resistance and dissidence in late 19th-20th century Central-Eastern and Southeastern Europe

From the 1880s to the 1980s, student dissidence/resistance in Central-Eastern and Southeastern Europe often came into contact with protest movements in other parts of the world, combining social protest with political and civic struggles. The aim of this conference is to study the dissident/resistant student press produced both in Central-Eastern and Southeastern Europe and by students from these countries abroad.

Deciphering God’s historic plan for humanity. In memoriam Claude Geffré

Deciphering God’s historical plan for humanity is a task to be taken up again and again. More than ten years after his last book (Le Christianisme comme religion de l'Évangile), we want to pay tribute to Claude Geffré by exploring the new directions taken by theological research on the subjects and themes that he himself worked on. Papers will be presented over four half-days.

New Perspectives on Travel

Cultural Networks, Knowledge, Circulations, and Material Practices (19th and 20th Centuries)

In the last twenty years, there have been different approaches to the topic of travel from various disciplinary fields and perspectives. This symposium aims for a multidisciplinary approach to the topic of travel, understood as the deliberate movement of an individual through space, without being physically or psychologically forced or coerced. This symposium aims to be a space of dialogue and reflection about travel, its narratives, and its written and visual depictions. We aim to foster new approaches to travel understood in its specificity vis a vis the articulation of a disciplinary field (rather than its traditional understanding as a subsidiary object to other fields of study).

Modeling in economics and management

Practices, specificities and perspectives in the age of artificial intelligence

Le colloque vise à mettre en évidence les axes de recherche qui privilégient l’analyse et la critique des pratiques de la modélisation et des modèles de plus en plus utilisés dans l’analyse et l’évaluation économiques et dans la prise de décision des organisations. En outre, le colloque mettra l’accent sur l’importance des méthodes modernes de modélisation, de simulation, d’algorithmique et d’intelligence artificielle en concomitance avec la stratégie globale de la transition numérique des économies à l’échelle mondiale. Enfin, le colloque suscitera le débat sur l’importance de la construction collective d’outils de modélisation (ou d’adaptation de modèles existants) à l’échelle territoriale en tenant compte des nombreux enjeux et spécificités de types socio-économique, culturel ou environnemental, afin d’assister les acteurs et décisionnaires régionaux dans l’apport de réponses aux besoins économiques et de management territorial de grande portée.

Recording Popular Music

IASPM 23rd international conference

This event will be the 23rd edition of the International Association for the Study of Popular Music's biennal conference. Recording played a central role in the establishment of the field of popular music research. The analysis of recordings as 'texts' of popular music has naturally been one of the main areas of research over the last forty years. Beyond recording as a process involving studios or various pieces of technical equipment, our conference is also an invitation to look at the recording of popular music in global and cultural terms. Recording means keeping traces or tracks, a practice which can also be understood in a broader, anthropological sense: how are the traces kept or preserved? How are they also sometimes erased? How is socio-cultural diversity “recorded” or not in popular music?

Social innovations as sites of resistance and transformation in times of crisis

Since the 1980s, we have borne witness to a succession of crises caused by a dominant economic system that subjects both humans and nature to the dictates of endless growth. The severity of these crises and their consequences have also spurred new social actions. More than ever, there is a need to identify the interstices through which social transformations founded on solidarity, emancipation and new ways of relating to the Earth can operate. The tradition of research on social innovations at CRISES provides the ideal starting point to reflect on social innovations as sites for resistance and social transformation during this period of overlapping crises. It also invites us to break down disciplinary silos and address the complexity of contemporary challenges with cross-cutting and intersectoral approaches that can offer a bridge between research and action. This call for papers draws inspiration from various approaches used to address complex issues in different fields, particularly as regards democratic participation, economics, ecology and technology.
