Impossible consolation ? Paradoxes et échecs d’une notion en débat de l’Antiquité à nos jours
Face aux fléaux en tous genres qui ont coutume de s’abattre sur le genre humain, les Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes. Avec l’invention du christianisme, la religion s’est appropriée cette mission en recyclant les méthodes anciennes par la perspective d’un au-delà rédempteur. Dès l’Antiquité toutefois, les méthodes consolatoires et les discours visant à soulage la peine sont discutés et parfois même remis en cause. Le colloque se propose d’examiner l’expression de ces résistances et de ces échecs, qui, à chaque époque, invitent à repenser les modalités de la relation à autrui et à interroger le statut de la consolation.

The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 marks the last step of the Order’s progressive dissolution initiated fifteen years earlier, in Europe and in its colonies. This act of suppression was the culmination of a broader secularisation movement concerning religious congregations across Europe, from the 1760s to the French Revolution. Several studies have already investigated the dispersal of abolished congregations’ assets in different parts of Enlightened Europe, but a broader overview is yet to be drawn. Furthermore, it is necessary to define common characteristics of confiscation procedures and real properties’ functional transformations during the three decades before the nationalisation of Church property undertaken in France in 1789.

City symphonies after the city symphony
Loin d’être un genre anecdotique dans l’histoire du cinéma, limité à une poignée de films célèbres – Manhatta (1921), Rien que les heures (1926), Berlin : Symphonie d’une grande ville (1927), Pluie (1929), L’homme à la caméra (1929), À propos de Nice (1930) – la symphonie urbaine a continué de susciter l’engouement de nombreux cinéastes à travers le monde du début des années 1930 à nos jours. La symphonie urbaine se caractérise par une absence d’intrigue, de rythme narratif et de personnages, et une structure empruntée aux mouvements de symphonies orchestrales. Cette journée d’étude vise à s’interroger sur l’héritage des symphonies urbaines dans le cinéma postérieur aux années 1930.

The face in 18th and 19th century public sculpture in France and in the German sphere
This study day devoted to sculpture will focus on one element in particular: the face. As an essential part of the sculpted figure, the face has the dual role of enabling identification and expression. This dual role became more apparent in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of portraiture, as well as the interest in the inner self and more broadly, the intimate. The aim of this exhibition is to draw a parallel between two contradictory concepts : the intimate and the public. As sculpture is the art par excellence of the public space, the aim is to confront the face, which is intimate, with the imperatives of public sculpture. The aim of this study day is to examine the representation of the face in Franco-German public sculpture in the 18th and 19th centuries, analysing its theories, practices, techniques, possible typologies and the way it is perceived by the viewer.

California as the Epicenter of Social Sciences
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. 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.

Conference, symposium - Education
Ludopedagogy
Ludopedagogy refers to the use of games in an educational context, whether for affordance purposes, to enhance engagement, or to transform skills or representations. The games utilized as artifacts and situations cover a wide range of realities and experiences: video games, games in digital simulation environments, analog games, role-playing games, board games... While their use in educational contexts is not new in itself, the increasing prevalence of ludopedagogical practices and tools in higher education highlights an unprecedented dynamic and raises questions. Certainly, this visibility of ludopedagogy must be linked with the major issues driving higher education: considering diversity and striving for inclusion, a competency-based approach, supporting success in all its forms, the learner's experience, promoting active pedagogies, utilizing digital tools, and fostering professionalization. Given these transformative challenges, it is essential to critically and scientifically assess what ludopedagogy can contribute to higher education. How can games offer a pedagogical opportunity that supports the development and acquisition of skills?

Conference, symposium - History
This colloquium invites us to compare, on the one hand, women’s history and, more specifically, women’s authorship and expression history without reducing them to the simple field of writing and, on the other hand, aristocracy and the concept of nobility’s history in particular. The aim will be to explore any feminine discourse conveying ideas about the nobility, whether from a nobility member, a woman from outside the nobility or a fictional female character. The colloquium calls for an interdisciplinary approach insofar as its themes can be examined from the point of view of history, literature, sociology, art history, and musicology.

Call for applications “Visiting researchers” - ERC AGRELITA (2025)
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. The ERC AGRELITA studies a large corpus of French language literary works 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 in 2025.

The transmission of scientific and academic knowledge on migration cannot be envisaged today without a plurality of research, socio-economic and civil society actors. This calls for a reflection on the ways in which research is carried out and presented in the light of the circulation of knowledge. It also raises the question of “transmission in migration”, i.e. everything that is transferred between different groups in society (migrants/descendants of migrants/non-migrants) at different levels. What are the legacies and discontinuities from a family and intergenerational perspective, from one migrant group to another, from one institutional practice to another? The aim is to examine the practices and uses, as well as the purposes, of the transmission of political, economic, cultural and social forms in “migrant worlds”.

Les « empires » trans-médiatiques, des années 1920 aux années 1960 : essor(s) et organisation(s)
(The Rise of) TransMedia 'Empires,' 1920s-1960s
Cette journée d’étude se propose d’étudier la création et le développement de véritables « empires » médiatiques dans le monde anglophone et en Europe de l’Ouest, du milieu des années 1920 au début des années 1960, à une époque où des images, fixes et animées, viennent s’incorporer aux textes « voyageant » à travers différents médias. Les intervenants pourront examiner l'impact des liens professionnels, personnels et financiers des propriétaires d'empires médiatiques sur la production médiatique. Ils s'intéresseront également à l'évolution des acteurs au sein des empires médiatiques, à l'importance des relations amicales et familiales dans leur construction, ainsi qu'à la formation de publics réceptifs.

Du suffragium au suffrage : un héritage ?
une étude pluriséculaire d'une notion énigmatique
This colloquium will bring together linguists, historians from different historical periods and political scientists to revisit and explore the more sinuous than expected path that led from the suffragium of the Roman Republic to contemporary suffrage, with particular emphasis on the intermediate stages - Late Antiquity, Middle Ages, Modern Age - stages that have been little studied until now.

(Un)Doing Democracy. Practices of Participation and Contestation (19th–21st Century)
17e colloque du Comité franco-allemand des historiens (CFAH)
A l’heure où la crise de la démocratie est sur toutes les lèvres, le colloque vise à apporter un éclairage sur l’ambivalence de la participation et de la protestation et à les analyser dans leur articulation complexe avec les processus de démocratisation et les systèmes étatiques démocratiques. En effet, si la participation et la protestation sont indispensables à la pensée et à l’action démocratiques, elles peuvent aussi dans certains cas constituer une menace pour les démocraties représentatives. En analysant comment la « démocratie » a toujours été générée, transformée, élargie, mais aussi remise en question par des pratiques concrètes, le colloque entend contribuer à une histoire critique de la légitimité démocratique du XIXe siècle à nos jours. L’accent sera principalement (mais pas exclusivement) mis sur l’Allemagne et la France.
