Faith communities: living together or living side by side? Which role for public authorities?

Today, a debate on the relevance and legitimacy of public funding for religious communities has been sparked by the broadcast on Flemish public television of the Godvergeten documentary series about the victims of paedophilia committed by members of the Catholic clergy. More than ever, the question of the contribution made by faith communities to "living together" is being raised. At a time when calls are being made for the outright abolition of public funding of religious institutions, it is also worth looking at the situation in neighbouring countries. The aim of this workshop, organised as part of the triennial conference of the Belgian French-speaking Political Science Association, is to bring together people to reflect on faith-based communities in Belgium, and to look more broadly at the relationship between politics and religion, using examples from other countries.

Changing Scale

Since the middle of the last century, efforts have been made to better exploit the potential of earth as a building material. All over the world, interest in earthen architecture is growing, and research centres are multiplying, as are training efforts. However, the major projects carried out in the 1970s did not become widespread. Their appropriation has often remained at the prototype or demonstrator stage. A situation which is not always easy to decipher. Is it lack of support from public authorities? Lack of interest from professionals? Lack of standards? Inadequacy for widespread use?

Sustainable urban dynamics and real estate

Sustainability has been a key issue in contemporary urban planning for several decades. This concept, which encompasses economic, social and territorial dimensions, may seem overused and even misused. However, it still represents a key area of scientific research. Many scientific studies in the field of geography have demonstrated the link between climate change, human activities and land use. This session aims to deepen territorial sustainability through the prism of real estate activities. Indeed, while the real estate sector generates a high level of pollution, it also induces several innovations (technological, territorial, health-related, etc.) that redesign the sustainable city beyond its purely ecological dimension.

Crises of Leaders or Leaders of Crises?

The aim of this international conference is to bring together researchers and professionals from a wide range of disciplines to find out about the current state of research in this field. On the other hand, the aim is to contribute to the sharing of knowledge between researchers and professionals from different countries. With this in mind, the scientific committee is very open to receiving not only theoretical research but also practical feedback from companies, associations, local authorities, and NGOs.

Réseaux obscurs

L’imaginaire des mises en connexion secrètes et des bas-fonds transnationaux du XIXe au XXIe siècle

Modern imaginations of an interconnected world often have a ‘dark’ side. In the nineteenth century there was an explosion in enthusiasm for the opportunities offered by new forms of international communication, trade, and travel, the emergence of cosmopolitan ideals, or the urge for international cooperation. Yet contemporaries also imagined a dangerous milieu of vice and crime generated by illicit flows and populated by a dubious cast of shady characters. Anxieties over espionage, conspiracies and secret plots became a widespread cultural pattern. Since then, a sinister mythology has never ceased to captivate the modern imaginary: that beneath the real world lies a connected underworld made up of clandestine threads and movements that transcend borders and stretch across continents and oceans. This international conference will investigate the imaginary of ‘dark networks’ from the nineteenth century to the present, intenting to move beyond simplistic success stories of globalisation and contributes to the growing interest of scholars in its ‘deviant’ sides.

Researchning beyond words

Investigating architectural research by drawing

Ce colloque centré sur les productions hors des mots des chercheurs propose d’interroger plus particulièrement les représentations visuelles dessinées en situation de recherche. En considérant les modes de fabrication des dessins, les méthodes dans lesquelles ils s’inscrivent et les outils qu’ils mobilisent, nous souhaitons ouvrir des questionnements épistémologiques sur la recherche en architecture et sur ce que l’on pourrait nommer la « recherche par le dessin ».

Pilgrimages on the Western Front of the First World War: from the end of the war to contemporary practices

La première guerre mondiale a duré quatre ans et s’est déroulée sur pas moins de onze théâtres d’opérations à travers le monde. Des millions de personnes y ont perdu la vie. C’est finalement le front occidental qui a causé le plus de pertes humaines et où s’est décidée l’issue de la guerre. Pendant la guerre elle-même, au gré des gains territoriaux, les soldats sont retournés dans les cimetières provisoires où leurs camarades étaient tombés. Dès la fin de la guerre et durant les décennies qui ont suivi, des dizaines de milliers d’anciens combattants, de familles de défunts et de délégations officielles ont entrepris des pèlerinages sur les champs de bataille à la recherche de proches disparus dans un vaste mouvement d’hommage collectif ou individuel sans précédent dans l’histoire.

Forests in transitions. Concepts, methodes, assessments and prospective

The symposium, international and interdisciplinary, will address a topical issue: forests, in all their diversity. They appear to be in “crisis” at a time of climate change, and their management is raising concerns. The subject will be approached from the angle of transitions, taking into account the polysemy of the concept: transition of the forests themselves; concept of forest transition; ecological, environmental, energy transitions... The purpose is to question the changes underway as a result of climate change, in connection with or in response to it, within the framework of mitigation and/or adaptation strategies. But other evolutionary factors need to be taken into account: the “greening” of society, other pressures arising from the Anthropocene, belonging to global change. These transitions will be questioned through 3 axes: 1) Concepts et methods; 2) Assessments et analysis ; 3) Prospective.

Résidence de chercheurs invités - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

Visiting researchers residency - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

Until now the reception history of ancient Greece in pre-modern Western Europe has focused almost exclusively on the transmission of Greek texts. Yet well before the revival of Greek teaching, numerous vernacular works, often illustrated, contained elaborate representations of ancient Greece. AGRELITA studies a large corpus of French language literary works (historical, fictional, poetic, didactic ones) produced from 1320 to the 1550s in France and Europe, before the first direct translations from Greek to French, as well as the images of their manuscripts and printed books. The project “The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550) : how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities”, directed by Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas, opens guest researchers residencies.

François Hotman

Un homme d’action, entre droit, histoire et théologie

François Hotman (1524-1590) was born five hundred years ago. To mark the occasion, we thought it a good idea to dedicate to him an international conference in Geneva on November 21-22, 2024. A famous Calvinist jurisconsult, a virulent pamphleteer and a political thinker who is now part of the European philosophical tradition, Hotman remains a figure whom research only embraces through a few major works that receive recurring scrutiny. In reality, his writings as a humanist and jurist, his international correspondence, his connections with the most important Protestant theologians of the century, and his family of Ligue and royal officers are all objects of study that call for a re-problematisation of our interpretation of this dominant figure in Calvinist legal thought.

Migrant work in the age of capitalism: insertions, daily life and professional sociability

Panel - Association for the Anthropology of Social Change and Development (APAD) Conference 2024

This panel examines the meanings of work for migrants and people in mobility in a capitalist context. On the one hand, it will analyse the insertion processes and experiences of mobile people in the worlds of work (and labour markets), On the other hand, it will look at the mechanisms and actors involved in migrants’ professional integration, particularly in the South. How do migrants generate income in transit places or destinations, how do they live their daily work lives, and what are the social and power relations they are confronted with?

Emotions, masculinities, and violence from the Middle Ages to the present

This conference proposes to question the evolution of violence over the long term. The articulation between masculinities, violence and emotions adopts different forms and stakes according to the historical context in which it occurred. Thus, the symposium will seeks to highlight the cultural stakes and the specific imaginary, as violence is defined in variable ways depending on historical, geographical, and discursive contexts. Therefore, the first objective will be to address the problem of sources: their production varied according to the aeras, which impacts the representation of the relationship between violence, gender and emotions.

An environmental history of work and labour

The Réseau universitaire de chercheurs et chercheuses en histoire environnementale (RUCHE, French-speaking network in environmental history, founded in 2009) and the Association française pour l’histoire des mondes du travail (AFHMT, French network for work and labour history, founded in 2013), organize this international joint conference, which aims to put this interdependence into historical perspective. Its ambition is, on the one hand, to contribute to a stronger dialogue between these two major historiographical fields (work/labour and the environment) and, on the other hand, to bring back on the agenda the long-standing but yet unachieved project of an environmental history of work.

Methodological approaches to gender and heteronormativity in sources

This seminar and its upcoming publication under different formats aim at questioning the role played by gender studies in the analysis of the sources used by researchers, while also interrogating the scientific methods used to comprehend the said sources (whether they be archival, legal, literary, iconographic or ethnographic sources). The goal of this seminar is to confront the different methodological approaches of gender that researchers may have in the sources they use, through the lens of heteronormativity.

Consultants seen through the lens of employment, market and production

More and more “international” and “national” consultants are involved in the production of public policy under “aid regime”. However, there is still little research on this broad and heterogeneous category of professionals. At the crossroads of the sociology of work, of professions and professional groups, the sociology of markets and the sociology of public action, this panel seeks to analyse how the marketing of development expertise is transforming the market for skilled labour, government services and the production of public action in aid societies.

Les défis de la formation des enseignants et de leur insertion professionnelle : approches comparatives

International Citizen Forum for Education

La quatrième édition du Forum citoyen international de l’éducation s’intéresse particulièrement à l’un des acteurs clés des systèmes éducatifs, l’enseignant. Étant donné le rôle complexe des enseignants et les répercussions majeures de leur travail sur l’avenir de la société, une formation adéquate est indispensable. Il paraît judicieux et nécessaire de réfléchir aux défis de la formation initiale et continue dans le but d’assurer aux apprenants une éducation qui tient compte de la diversité et des inégalités ainsi que des avancées numériques. Le forum s’attarde aussi sur les pratiques enseignantes, l’insertion professionnelle et les conditions d’exercice du travail enseignant, de même que sur les enjeux de gouvernance et leurs impacts sur la réussite éducative.

Time and Justice, Timing Justice

Early modern and contemporary times, Europe and Americas

Recent sociological research has emphasised the centrality of time as a key issue in the legitimacy and functioning of the judicial establishment. However, little research has been conducted by historians regarding the connection between justice and time. The purpose of this conference is to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between justice and time over the course of several centuries, in order to contextualise the current acceleration of justice. The aim is to examine how justice shapes its temporalities and their connection to other social temporalities. This questioning takes as its framework Europe and the Americas in the modern and contemporary periods, in order to compare different spaces, contexts and legal cultures.
