Linguistic Explorations in the Field of Sports and Physical Activity
Cette journée d’étude souhaite offrir un espace de rencontre et d’échanges aux linguistes qui travaillent sur le sport, compris au sens très large comme toute forme d’activité physique et sportive, individuelle ou non, et qui a pour objectif l’amélioration ou l’expression de la condition physique, dans un cadre compétitif ou non. Les recherches qui mobilisent des analyses sur corpus (écrits ou oraux) seront les bienvenues, indifféremment des perspectives de travail ou du cadre théorique adopté.

Women and the Liberation in Metropolitan France and the Empire, 1944-1946
Organized by the Conseil scientifique et d'orientation de la Mission du 80ème anniversaire de la Libération, this conference focuses on the two or three years that make up the "moment" of the Liberation, from 1944 to 1946. Its aim is to examine the transformations that took place in women's lives and gender relations - in combat, in political life in the broadest sense and in their activities - in metropolitan France and the Empire. This international meeting will both review the current state of knowledge and highlight new aspects.

The New Face(s) of US Conservatism
Depuis 2016, Donald Trump a rebattu les cartes de la politique et du conservatisme étasunien. Cette journée d’étude témoigne de la volonté de faire exister le conservatisme en tant qu’objet d’analyse, et s’inscrit dans un double objectif : prolonger d’une part le travail existant ayant pour objet le conservatisme aux États-Unis au sein du champ plus global de la civilisation américaine, et proposer d’autre part un état des lieux du conservatisme étasunien à la veille des élections présidentielles de 2024. Pour ce faire, cette journée d’étude se décline en trois axes connexes qui soulignent son approche interdisciplinaire et la pluralité des perspectives qu’elle entend adopter afin de mieux cerner ce mouvement ainsi que les idéologies et stratégies qui le sous-tendent.

The role of women in decorative arts and design in France (1850 to the present)
This conference aims to discuss and to provide a state of research on the role of women in decorative arts and design in France but also to shed light on an aspect of artistic creation. It aims to give an overview of the evolution and role of women in the decorative arts and design in France since the mid-19th century in order to complete a current knowledge related to an ongoing field of research in the history of art and creative industries. In this purpose, we would also propose to cross-analyze the problematic at an international level, particularly in Europe, in order to better address and deepen the issue.

List, compile, assemble: small forms and the power of collecting
Workshop of the research training group “The literary and epistemic history of small forms”
Unraveling the various asymmetries inherent in collecting requires shifting our focus from collections themselves to how collections come into being. This entails viewing collections as both purposeful and contingent results of scientific or cultural practice. Drawing on the history of collecting and the history of paperwork, this interdisciplinary workshop aims to enhance our understanding of the collecting processes involving written testimonies, inscriptions, and texts. With a focus on contexts such as artistic-literary primitivism or colonial encounters, the workshop proposes a comparative examination of the asymmetries associated with collecting via three main axes: actor-networks involved in the production of collections, the role of collecting in the management of life, and how collections emerge from asymmetrical media practices.

Empeiria chez Platon : expérience empirique, enjeux normatifs
Ce colloque se donne pour but de parcourir les multiples significations que prend l’expérience, en accordant une attention particulière à la dimension normative de chaque examen, plus ou moins explicite, que Platon dresse de l’expérience. Car Platon, constamment, semble s’être donné pour tâche de critiquer les mauvais usages auxquelles l’expérience donne lieu, pour mieux revaloriser certains types bien précis d’expérience auxquels il reconnaît une utilité pratique. Les questions privilégiées pour aborder cette problématique porteront donc sur la dimension expérientielle de la connaissance intelligible, la définition platonicienne de la technique et des arts, les impératifs matériels qui contraignent l’action politique et le problème épistémologique et pratique d’une action concrète dont la rectitude répond à un critère d’objectivité.

What Matters in Contemporary Anglophone Cultures
“What Matters” is an invitation to rethink the weight of habits, established structures and validated categories. Arguing that someone/something counts goes against economic/budgetary/financial accounting, which is typically the work of a dominant power that keeps precise accounts, compiling or capitalising, trying to contain or control. “What matters” is an invitation to give an account of what does not seem to count, what is unthought of or invisible. “What matters” is a response to what is challenging research, and a direct appeal to its agency to redefine the common space and what would be a (co-)habitable world. It invites us to grasp how research can make people act and react, and provoke awakening. We are looking for papers in linguistic, literary, dramatic, historical, sociological, political, film and serial studies and, more broadly, cultural studies.

Call for papers - Early modern
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. Whether driven by reformatory or by economic interests, all acts of suppression and secularisation had the same consequences: a large number of movable assets and real property, estates and art works were either reallocated to other religious congregations or put on sale, when not confiscated altogether. 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.

Infrastructures, Practices, Publics
Small textual and material forms seem particularly adept at circulating within and between different publics. This conference investigates how the movement of brief, compressed, and otherwise small forms ranging from early modern pamphlets to Instagram stories shape the development of diverse publics, as well as the interplay between them. We propose to explore the relationship between small forms and publics through three related strands of inquiry: how infrastructures affect the circulation of small forms, how practices including remediation enable their circulation, and how the circulation of small forms shapes the formation, operation, and dissolution of public life.

When the archaeological object is a historical subject
Perception, function and reception of artefacts
In the wake of the material turn and following the example of the television programme Faire l'histoire presented by Patrick Boucheron on Arte, the aim of this event is to reflect on the definition, role and understanding of artefacts. Encompassing a wide historical period and geographical area, our aim is to examine both the history of the archaeological object itself and the archaeological object in history. This interdisciplinary approach will allow us to compare points of view on a subject at the heart of current issues.

The World of Silk Between France and Italy, 16th-19th Century
This workshop aims to consider Franco-Italian relations concerning silk from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century by fostering dialogue between research that has hitherto been separated by historiographical tradition, particularly combining history and art history. This interdisciplinary approach is all the more essential as it seeks to scrutinize through the same set of inquiries the entire silk production chain (from mulberry cultivation to fabric consumption, including thread manufacturing and preparation, pattern creation, and weaving). By revealing the importance of interdependencies among the various stages of the production and consumption process and the different actors within this industry, this approach leads to new considerations of the connections between the social worlds and the territories that silk interlinked.

Thinking and Making Europe through the Experience of Exile and Displacement (20th–21st centuries)
The conference will explore the role of displaced and exiled populations in the construction of Europe, whether they came from European countries or other regions of the world. Taking a resolutely multi-disciplinary approach, the conference will especially focus on the period that began with the Spanish Civil War and the outbreak of the Second World War, although it will not exclude looking at earlier periods. The central question will be to examine how these actors conceived of and made Europe – how they contributed to its construction, or on the contrary to its failure. We will explore how these populations experienced European conflicts, violence, and control mechanisms, in other words the resources, uses, representations, and statements that have shaped this Europe on the move.

Literatur and Psychiatrie revisited, 1920–1970
Momente gegenseitiger Beobachtung | Moments d'observation mutuelle
Le colloque se consacrera à la relation entre littérature et psychiatrie après « l’âge d’or de l’aliénisme » ( Castel 1977) en examinant des moments d’observation et de description mutuelles qui se déroulent entre l’apparition des avant-gardes et l’apogée de l’antipsychiatrie européenne. Faudra-t-il adapter les catégories d’analyse littéraire et d’histoire des savoirs qui ont fait leurs preuves dans l’étude du XIXe siècle lorsqu’il s’agit d’explorer les relations entre l’écriture littéraire et le savoir psychopathologique dans le contexte des bouleversements poétologiques et épistémologiques survenus depuis l’entre-deux-guerres ?

Circulations of pedagogies: craft teaching in a colonial and post-colonial context
Ce colloque propose de se pencher sur la circulation de la transmission du geste et des techniques en contexte colonial et post-colonial, du XIXe au XXIe siècle. L’historienne de l’art Victoria L. Rovine rappelle que comme ses équivalents classificatoires « art » et « artefact », l’artisanat est un concept occidental, appliqué à des objets d’autres cultures dans le but de les absorber dans des pratiques de collection et d’exposition. C’est la circulation des savoirs, des gestes, techniques et motifs ainsi que les forces de résistance ou de coopération avec les structures et les patrimoines (pré)-existants qui nous intéressent ici. On considérera le contexte colonial comme celui d’une colonisation occidentale en Afrique, Asie, Amérique latine et Océanie, mais aussi celui d’une colonisation désormais considérée comme interne, comme aux États-Unis ou en Australie.

Polarisation of British and American societies
Causes, consequences, perspectives
The growing polarisation within American and British societies raises profound questions about the mechanisms by which public opinion is influenced and the political and social transformations that ensue. This polarisation expresses itself at several levels, notably between different age groups, between levels of education, and between urban and rural areas. We assume here that the apparent polarisation of US and UK societies has increased in recent years, not least due to the rise to power and tenure of Donald J. Trump in the US and the vote in favour of Brexit in the UK. The aim will be to understand how these two events have acted as catalysts reinforcing divisions already present and creating new forms of divisions.

Artistic Creation, Biodiversity and Oceanic Environment (19th-21st Centuries)
This interdisciplinary symposium brings together researchers from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, as well as artists and museum professionals, to analyze ocean-related art. “The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet” is how literary scholar Steve Mentz describes it, as he works to bring together different forms of knowledge about this elusive entity. Mentz coined the term “blue humanities” to bring together interdisciplinary methodologies that focuses on the ocean. This symposium aims to enrich this field through the arts. Open to the public, it seeks to encourage exchange and discussion.
