Mémoires et agentivités aquatiques dans la littérature et les arts panhispaniques
Partiendo de la constatación de que el elemento acuático conlleva significados variados y a veces opuestos, mientras cristaliza retos memorísticos, políticos, éticos o estéticos, este congreso pretende suscitar una reflexión sobre la forma en que, en los discursos literarios y artísticos, el agua ofrece la posibilidad de repensar la relación del ser humano con el otro y con su entorno. Entre memoria y agentivida, ¿cómo refleja el agua la capacidad de los individuos y las comunidades humanas para articular discursos o actos de resistencia a través del arte ? ¿Las representaciones del agua —elemento dual— funcionan como símbolos de violencia o permiten imaginar otras formas de habitar el mundo ?

Sculpture and Trompe l'oeil in European Ceramics, from Bernard Palissy to the Present Day
The conference, dedicated to European ceramics, aims to address issues relating to figurative sculpture in the round, to relief sculpture and to trompe l'oeil, all in the medium of ceramics. This includes the imitation of other materials, such as wood or precious stones, and the mimetic representation of animals and plants. Sculpture and trompe l'oeil are recurring themes but have been little studied in a comprehensive manner in European ceramic art, not even in Art Deco ceramics, which frequently use sculptural forms, both in tableware and in purely decorative pieces.

Conference, symposium - History
Le colloque vise à analyser les relations entre les groupes professionnels et le politique dans le contexte de transition vers la démocratie en Espagne et au Portugal dans les années 1960-1970. Il se focalise sur les professions libérales et intellectuelles. Sans déterminer directement la chute des régimes autoritaires de la péninsule Ibérique, ces groupes ont contribué à remettre en cause leur légitimité et à influencer les formes et les modalités de la démocratisation.

This international conference aims to explore the central role of culture and art in the reconstruction and regeneration of the social fabric, through a reinterpretation of trauma as a driver of creation and preservation of cultural memory and as a form of resistance to the politics of erasure. We encourage papers dealing with the interconnections between trauma, memory and resistance in multiple artistic languages to highlight the role of art in reinterpreting trauma, making it a source of memory and thus a basis for social change. The focus will be on the artistic production, especially during the 21st century, created by Palestinian artists about Palestine, including those in the diaspora.

A Transnational History of Spanish Humanitarianism in a Global Context from the First World War to the 1920s
Building on the dynamic initiated during a workshop held in 2024 on the humanitarian institution created in 1915 by Alfonso XIII–the European War Office–, this conference seeks to gather separate initiatives and to bring together specialists to address historiographical gaps concerning Spanish actions during the war. The conference will examine these actions from a global perspective in the context of the 1920s by comparing them with the actions of other institutions and neutral countries, such as Sweden, Denmark, the Vatican and the ICRC.

Peripheral Archives in Africa and Eurasia (19th-20th century)
On 10 October 2025, we will bring together historians from Eurasia and Africa (19th and 20th centuries) to reflect on the concept of peripheral archives and how the production/preservation/use of archives located on the periphery or margins (geographical, political, global or national, family archives, village archives, non-state institutions, the Global South, etc.) informs the writing of history.

Understanding and reconverting tertiary vacancy
The vacancy of tertiary buildings is a growing issue in urban and regional dynamics. While vacant offices are a visible symptom of economic, social and environmental mutations, they also represent an opportunity to rethink the role of business districts and the uses of the city as a whole. The aim is to analyse tertiary vacancy in France and Europe for identifying the potential for converting unoccupied buildings, whether into housing or other functions: coliving, hotels, industrial or commercial activities, data centres, living labs, collaborative spaces, etc.

Questioning the formal and the informal through night work in the Americas and the Caribbean
The international conference aims to explore the tensions between formal and informal night work, whether paid or unpaid, in the Americas. The social division of labor implements and reproduces plural and complex social relationships, which appear to be reconfigured in the context of night work.

Connecting Courts and Coasts : Trade, Knowledge, and Cultural Networks in the Western Indian Ocean
From Post-Classical India to the Late Mughal Era
This conference explores the multifaceted networks of exchange that characterized the Western Indian Ocean from the Post-Classical period through the late Mughal era (approximately aligning with the Medieval to Early Modern periods in the West). The maritime connections between South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa created intricate webs of commercial, intellectual, and cultural exchanges that profoundly shaped the region's historical development and fostered a deeper appreciation of societies across space and time.

Conference, symposium - Representation
This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. Are they merely objects of study, partners in creation, or autonomous agents in a larger process? How does the making of artworks define or blur boundaries between humans and other-than-humans?

Shaping the Past. Rappresentazione, uso e manipolazione della memoria nel mondo antico
Seminario « Semi di Sapienza »
Ce séminaire affronte le thème - complexe et débattu - de la réception et de l'utilisation de la mémoire dans le monde gréco-romain et dans les sociétés du Proche et Moyen Orient antique et tardo-antique.
Le concept de "mémoire", déterminé en premier lieu dans les travaux de Maurice Halbwachs et, plus particulièrement en histoire ancienne, par Jan et Aleida Assman, est un instrument utile d'analyse. Le processus du souvenir, s'attachant habituellement à une dynamique neurologique strictement individuelle, peut être déterminé socialement. En effet, dans les communautés anciennes, la mémoire permet de s'identifier, de communiquer et de créer des normes. Par conséquent, la relation entre mémoire et passé est centrale pour définir les conditions des dynamiques identitaires des groupes sociaux. Ainsi, elle constitue un silon de recherche pertinent pour la recherche sur les communautés du monde ancien.

Subjectivités et liens communautaires dans les sociétés et les créations centraméricaines et caribéennes
Alors que géologues, stratigraphes, chimistes et climatologues débattent encore aujourd’hui de la pertinence scientifique du concept d’anthropocène, et tandis que l’action communautaire et la littérature imaginent et testent déjà des mondes possibles pour vivre en harmonie avec la planète et les êtres vivants avec qui nous la partageons, la menace d’un désastre imminent semble être plus présente que jamais parmi le grand public. La fin du monde serait-elle pour demain ? Ce colloque propose de réfléchir à la façon dont les désastres (catastrophes naturelles, pandémies, guerres civiles, dictatures, etc.) affectent la construction des subjectivités individuelles et les liens communautaires.

As we all know, manga is all about seeing. But it also requires the reader to hear with their ears, smell with their nose, tongue and skin. It engages all five senses, and not only sight as is often believed. How are these sensations conveyed to the reader in manga? What roles do images, text, narration and onomatopoeia play? These are just some of the questions this symposium aims to address.
