  Reading, describing, interpreting: Louis Marin between text and image

  This conference would like to explore the manifestations and transformations of the interplay between text and image in the writings and thought of the philosopher and theoretician of representation Louis Marin (1931-1992), and their resurgence in other disciplines, but also to situate them in a multiplicity of contemporary attempts to reconfigure the links between image and text, work (of art) and discourse, art and literature.

  Publishing another way: the epic of Episciences and overlay journals

  In the context of the profound digital transformation of scientific research, and in particular in enhanced knowledge dissemination, the epic of Episciences finds its roots in the beginning of the years 2000, when scientists want to take back in hand the whole process of publication. Nowadays, the platform contains close to 30 journals, covering a wide range of disciplines, from mathematics and computer science to the humanities and social sciences, among which diverse subjects like environmental studies and mechanical engineering. Throughout the presentations, the experience reports and a round table bringing together the journals that have made the choice to join the platform Episciences, these days aim to focus on the status of open access scientific publication, to consider the perspectives of the model of overlay journals and to place Episciences in the landscape of open science, on a national, European and international scale.

  HyperUrban

  Data-driven City

  Le terme « Data Cities » intègre du postmodernisme, de l’inventivité, de l’aventure et de la création. Dans un contexte de villes des données, c’est-à-dire ville numérique, l’inventivité devient une pratique quotidienne faisant partie de la vie de la ville. Le concept de « villes des données » évoque des interrogations, qui sont fortement et discrètement, existentielles pouvant abolir de nombreux dogmes et frontières culturelles, philosophiques et éthiques relatifs à la « ville en devenir » (en tant qu’œuvre urbaine et architecturale). HyperUrbain (HU9) abordera la question de la ville dirigée par les données.

  Food Crises: Challenges, Innovations and Sustainable Change

  From prehistoric times to the present, crises relating to military conflicts, climatic hazards, health challenges, harvest failures, economic decline, environmental change, geopolitical conflicts and many other factors have affected food systems in complex and varying ways, depending on specific constellations, local resilience and the timescales involved. The distinctive aim of this conference is to examine the “creative” and “constructive” potential of the relationship, specifically the extent to which crises can trigger innovation and sustainable change within food systems.

  Lords and Masters : domination in medieval Normandy (11th-15th centuries)

  Taking inspiration from Robert Fossier’s important questions on who dominated the territory and inhabitants (“la terre et les hommes”) of medieval Normandy, we are keen to reopen major historiographical debates on feudalism and serfdom. Our conference aims to stimulate new reflections on the notion of domination. We take the term to include not only the actual control of people and/or territories, but also strategies implemented by the dominators to legitimize and justify the social order over which they ruled. Through reinterpretation of political, economic, social and religious arenas, considered together, this conference positions itself within the cursus of recent works on the fabric of power in medieval societies. It aims to question, and perhaps redefine, the concept of domination. Whilst domination contributed much to social hierarchy, other formative aspects –  such as cooperation, negotiation and contestation – should not be overlooked.

  Espaces périphériques et fragmentations internes : proximités géographiques et discontinuités sociales

  Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques face aux risques majeurs. Le retour de la distance

  Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques se caractérisent par un éloignement certain des espaces métropolitains et des grands centres de commandement. Cela se traduit par des formes d’isolement, de marginalisation, et par une plus faible intégration à l’économie globale. La proximité n’est alors ni simple à définir, ni une protection contre les inégalités et les injustices spatiales. Elle reste un enjeu contemporain et futur. Dans cette perspective, sont attendues des propositions mettant en valeur ces fragmentations sur un de ces espaces périphériques ou ultrapériphériques. La proposition peut être faite à l’échelle de l’espace ou à une échelle plus fine, mais toujours interactive. D’autres propositions peuvent s’intéresser aux politiques mises en œuvre, avec les effets espérés.

  Reflexivity and Autonomous Training: Realities, Reflection and Innovation

  La pandémie a révélé la précarité de plusieurs systèmes, notamment celui de l’éducation et de la formation. Du jour au lendemain, enseignants et apprenants avaient à s’acclimater aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) et aux nouveaux canaux pour enseigner et apprendre. N’ayant pas été formés à l’apprentissage autogéré, les apprenants se sentaient en déréliction ; les enseignants, eux, ne faisant pas travailler leurs publics en « lâcher-prise » et étant habitués à construire les savoirs dans l’interaction, peinaient à réajuster leur planification des cours. Ce colloque pluridisciplinaire se veut l’occasion d’élucider et d’approfondir certains concepts gravitant autour de la réflexivité dans différents domaines. Il aspire à mettre en lumière des expériences et/ou des recherches qui visent l’étude de la réflexivité dans la formation du sujet (jeune ou adulte) autonome.

  “InterArtes”, 2023 - Number 3

  Today, technological advances seem to point towards the artificial creation of complex singularities. The process of artistic creation is clearly at the heart of this paradigm shift whose implications are as much aesthetic and scientific as they are ethical, political, and then legal, economic, social, environmental... The third issue of InterArtes will be devoted to critically questioning the relationship between “Artistic Creativity and Automation”, both with theoretical contributions and with essays of a historical and empirical nature.

  Pierre Varignon, a “professional” geometer at the dawn of the Enlightenment

  A geometer and mechanic recognized by his contemporaries, an influential member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in epistolary contact with Leibniz, Newton and even the Bernoulli brothers, Pierre Varignon (1654-1722) shaped a scholarly trajectory that we would today call professional. He is a “normal” scientist, neither brilliant nor misunderstood, and it is in this that he deserves to be studied. The aim of this conference is to make this polymath scholar better known, to take stock of the studies that have been devoted to him over the past few decades and to encourage research that sheds light on lesser-known facets of his commitment, such as his role in the dissemination of knowledge, particularly as a teacher, his positions in contemporary debates, or his technical inventions.

  Charged Objects

  Performing the Soul of Things

  By the obscure life that is theirs, by their “auratic” power, some objects do not appear as inert human possessions but instead as “actants”, with specific features, energies, and potentials. We call them objets chargés. When, where, and how does an object of this type take on a theatrical life and become performative? How does the agency of the object, alongside its aesthetics, manifest itself? What is the impact on performance or staging of this switch from passive object to “actant”? These questions prompt us to think outside of methodologies in theatre and performance studies that feature solely human agents of artistic practice and scholarship. We invite papers that address the performance of charged objects.

  Families and kinship

  Families and kinship in the face of environmental upheaval: mutations and resistances?

  Environmental changes have been impacting the living conditions of several populations around the world, at different times. In response to current climate changes, environmental policies encourage or imply profound changes in our ways of life. This conference proposes to examine in what ways do adaptations to environmental changes contribute, or could they contribute, to affect family life and/or kinship relationships.
