Call for papers - Early modern
The recognition of landscape is prepared or accompanied by artistic and scientific initiatives that define landscape differently from the brief definition given by the Dictionary of the French Academy in 1762. Indeed, for the latter, the landscape is an "Extent of country that one sees from a single aspect". However, “extent” cannot sum up landscape painting and this call for papers wishes to investigate the notion of landscape in the 17th and 18th centuries in a different way.

“Architectural photography (kenchiku shashin 建築写真)” is an expansive and multifaceted notion, approached differently by architects, urban planners, interior designers, developers, publishers, amateur photographers, commissioned professional photographers, or artists. This confrontation of meanings and uses is what interests us. Indeed, while architectural photography has been widely and regularly displayed since the 19th century, through albums, dedicated magazines, serial publications, photobooks, and exhibitions, there is currently no in-depth study that allows for a global understanding. Therefore, we have decided to initiate a seminar that aims to formulate a definition of this notion that encompasses all of its complexity.

The “Portfolio” from Every Angle
Archiving and Preserving Working Documents (1680s-1820s)
The preservation of digital data is a current societal issue. The eighteenth century saw a similar awareness due to an unprecedented increase in the quantity of documents preserved and therefore available. One of its manifestations was the portfolio (or “porte-feuille”): “cardboard folded in two, covered with skin or some cloth, & used to carry papers” (Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française, 1718). The aim of this conference is to examine this medium for storing and classifying personal documents, whether or not they were known to his contemporaries, published or not: drafts, reading notes, letters, printed matter and other “living writings”. The entire literate society can then be considered, let us think of the portfolios of a minister, an artist, a merchant, a craftsman, a man of letters, a scholar, etc. The French term “portefeuille” itself suggests tracking its progressive use throughout Europe and its colonial extensions.

Landscapes and sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy
The international interdisciplinary conference “Landscapes and Sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy”, focuses on the study of landscapes and the rediscovery of sanctuaries in Southern Italy and Greece between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. It invites to cross archaeological and historical approaches to understand the link between sanctuaries and landscapes, but also the way these data have conditioned the rediscovery of lost archaeological sites.

Continuity of the notion of border in the cultural and creative industries
6th study day of the Young Researchers Network of LabEx ICCA
Cet événement sera l’occasion de questionner d’une part les évolutions des démarcations esthétiques et symboliques, ainsi que leurs effets sur la valorisation des biens culturels et le travail des créateurs. Nous nous intéresserons d’autre part à l’actualité des frontières nationales dans la circulation mondialisée des biens culturels à l’heure des plateformes numériques. Nous aborderons enfin les défis épistémologiques que posent les évolutions de ces différentes frontières pour la recherche sur les industries culturelles et créatives.

The visionary drawing and its knowledge
Portraits and faces
The workshop suggests to reflect on the transformations of the portrait and on the representation of the face in the visionary drawing of the 19th and 20th century. Associated with the research programme on the written and drawn archives of Théophile Bra (1797-1863) and supported by the University of Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Studies – USIAS, it aspires to open up the approach to the visionary drawing in order to comprehend its participation in epistemological and philosophical changes of modern times. It seeks to renew the methods of art history by including the history of science and of knowledge about the psyche, medicine and philosophy, which will encourage – beyond the definition of a visual culture – a reflection on the creativity they have in common in terms of images and graphic processes.

Social protest and its futures
For a temporal approach to political action
Dans quelles temporalités futures s’inscrivent les mobilisations contemporaines ? Cet appel à communication part des postulats selon lesquels les temporalités qui entourent la vie sociale sont nécessairement multiples et parfois antagonistes ; que les projections des individus vers les horizons temporels futurs cohabitent avec celles d’autres rapports au temps, qu’il s’agisse des horizons temporels passé et présent ou des rythmes, des échéances, des sentiments l’urgence ou d’ennui ; et que les imaginaires du futur façonnent des états émotionnels (individuels ou collectifs) qui orientent le contenu des pratiques visant à transformer le monde. À partir de ces postulats, cet appel souhaite regrouper des chercheur·euses travaillant sur les fondements temporels des contestations sociales contemporaines.

The Grip of Communication
Pour ses dix ans d’existence, la revue Politiques de communication organise un colloque international dont l’ambition est de proposer une réflexion d’ensemble sur « l’emprise de la communication » dans la structuration des espaces sociaux contemporains. Il propose un bilan des travaux sur l’évolution des pratiques et représentations sociales de la communication et leurs implications organisationnelles. Il propose également d’interroger les rapports sociaux de domination - de genre, de classe, de « race », de génération et autres - dont la communication est un outil et parfois un révélateur.

« Dans l’espace, personne ne vous entend crier, ou peut-être bien que si »
“In space no one can hear you scream, or can they?”
« Dans l’espace personne ne vous entend crier », l’accroche publicitaire, devenue iconique, du film Alien de Ridley Scott souligne le rôle prépondérant joué par les « voix, sons, bruits, silences » en science-fiction. Pour Nis Gron, « William Whittington a démontré combien Alien (1979) a été un tremplin essentiel qui a montré l’importance et a permis le développement de la bande sonore, notamment dans l’utilisation expressionniste des effets sonores, des sons ambiants et des bruitages dans les films de science-fiction ». La science-fiction joue avec les complexités et les contradictions des « sons et silences » à travers les bandes sonores et au sein des intrigues.

Conference, symposium - History
Contemporary Societies and Domestic Threats
This colloquium proposes to examine, from an interdisciplinary perspective, contemporary societies' relationship to internal threats. What happens when individuals, groups or segments of the population threaten to use violence, or actually do so, by turning against other groups or the state? What happens when the state itself goes 'into battle' by targeting groups and confronting them as 'enemies'? These situations cover a large number of historical experiences, which are at first sight irreducible and incommensurable, and are even more difficult to define given that their qualifications are almost always matters of struggle between the actors involved. This conference aims at bringing them together, gathering and confronting investigations devoted to sequences of this type in order to question these situations of hostility.

Artists, Industries and Representations in and beyond Europe
In recognition of the ease with which music crosses political, geographical and temporal borders, both by design and more informally, our conference scrutinizes the reasons for and consequences of this movement and exchange, in Europe or between Europe and other continents, without disregarding the struggles and tensions that sometimes emerge when music endeavours or threatens to go beyond those borders.

Towards New Alternative Thinking Spheres
We believed that aesthetics is a way of cutting any crisscrossing between cultural roles and social discrimination ones. The problem today and post to the state of great confusion quite salient in self-shaking state, has become intense. We consequently must deliver art from aesthetics not as a discourse but as an identification system that aesthetics put it on art. The question is how to interpret “art concern” as one of the main crises? Art is losing its strongholds; it has become hard for art to preserve its place within cultural production.

Brazil, an independent country ?
Rethinking “dependency theory” 200 years after 1822
On the occasion of the bicentennial of Brazil’s proclamation of independence (September 7,1822), this conference examines the paradigm of “dependency theory.” We will consider both how Brazilian intellectuals contributed to dependency theory and what their analyses offer for thinking about Brazil’s independence and place in the world today. The oeuvre of Brazilian dependentistas insisted on the impossibility of understanding the history of Brazil and Latin America without considering the complex dynamics between the national and the international, between domestic political and economic structures and the broader world system of which they were part. This conference, 200 years after Brazil’s formal independence, evaluates the promise and limitations of their analysis, at once historicizing dependency theory and using the authors associated with it to better understand the present.
