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.

Sex, Sexuality and Sexual Relationships in Science Fiction
Studying the question of sexuality from a multidisciplinary angle, this conference invites the participation of researchers in literature, the arts and social sciences (politics, anthropology, sociology) and natural sciences (biology, medicine). Our aim is to reflect together on the role that sex and reproduction play in our perception and conception of the world.

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.

Out of the shadows: Women and literary heritage
Organisé dans le cadre du projet FEATHER [The Feather and literary work : French-speaking female authors of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg as literary precursors (1900-2020)], le cycle de conférences Women and literary heritage a vocation à éclairer les liens complexes et multiples des autrices au canon littéraire et les nombreuses considérations (historiques, littéraires et sociologiques notamment) qu’ils convoquent. Il s’agira d’interroger, dans une perspective résolument multidisciplinaire croisant la littérature, la sociologie de la littérature et les études de genre, le champ littéraire dans lequel évoluent les œuvres des femmes, partie intégrante d’un héritage invisible.

Transversal skills: From university to the world of employment
Over the last two decades, Morocco has made remarkable progress and has undertaken various reforms whose main objective is to lay the foundations for a multidimensional national development. The multiple renovations that higher education has undergone are aimed at developing scientific research as well as opening the university to the socio-professional environment. Professors, teaching teams, professionals, etc. will reflect together on the challenges and modes of development of learning methods, means and teaching resources that enable learners to acquire new skills that can accompany them in their personal and professional lives and serve them in the long term.

Study days - Epistemology and methodology
Archéologie de la production céramique et des espaces artisanaux : regards croisés
From the 8th millennium BCE onwards, pottery production developed in Southwestern Asia and became a significant trait of Neolithic societies. Ceramic material is widely adopted. It represented a revolution on several scales and quickly constituted an important part of production activities. Thus, the objective of this workshop is to propose a transdisciplinary meeting about the methodologies of studying pottery manufacture sites, through examples from various contexts from prehistoric times to the contemporary period, and with a special interest in alternative approaches.

The metropolis by the parks
Dans le cadre de la perspective d’une histoire croisée des métropoles, cette journée d’étude propose de faire dialoguer les histoires du Grand Paris et du Grand Tōkyō autour de questions partagées. Pour interroger l’histoire du Grand Tōkyō dans ses relations au Grand Paris, nous faisons le choix de privilégier un objet métropolitain original et stratégique, le parc urbain, qui permettra d’aborder les dimensions paysagère et environnementale de la fabrique métropolitaine, mais également la question de la croissance urbaine et de ses limites.

Conference, symposium - Representation
Il s’agira, au cours de ces deux journées d’interroger les diverses manières dont le genre peut influer sur les processus de médicalisation. Ce colloque nous invite par exemple à considérer l’historicité des processus de médicalisation liés au genre (notamment à travers l’étude des cas de l’hystérie, du bovarysme, de l’homosexualité ou encore de l’avortement). Il vise également à explorer comment les identités de genre se construisent et ou se déconstruisent en partie à travers le recours à des interventions médicales, à questionner le rôle de la médecine dans nos parentalités contemporaines et à mieux comprendre en quoi un organe comme l’utérus ou encore la prostate ont pu particulièrement faire l’objet d’un regard médical complexe.

The Media and sexual and gender-based violence
Informing, denouncing, raising awareness
Ce colloque vise à interroger le rôle des médias dans la fabrication de l’information autour des violences sexistes et sexuelles (VSS) que nous entendons comme « une multiplicité de types d’actes coercitifs, non hiérarchisés, imposés par les hommes pour contrôler les femmes ainsi que toutes celles et ceux qui n’appartiennent pas au masculin hégémonique, et ce tout au long de leur vie ». Nous attendons des propositions émanant de différentes disciplines : sciences de l’information et de la communication, histoire, sociologie, sémiologie, droit, science politique, sciences du langage, et plus largement de toute démarche interdisciplinaire à même d’éclairer la production, la circulation et la réception des productions médiatiques portant sur les VSS.

Empire and After: The Empire Strikes Back?
Ce séminaire se propose de revisiter le fait colonial britannique tout en questionnant son influence et son empreinte sur les sociétés anciennement coloniales autant que sur la société britannique contemporaine dans une perspective politique, économique et sociale. L’Empire britannique y occupera une place centrale mais pas exclusive puisque les empires coloniaux constituent des ensembles composites et hétérogènes dont la spécificité ne peut être appréhendée que par la comparaison. L’Empire sera donc étudié au sens large pour inclure l’Empire formel et l’Empire informel, les territoires sous administration directe autant que les territoires sous administration indirecte, en passant par les simples réseaux d’influence à l’œuvre du XVIIIe siècle jusqu’à la décolonisation et au-delà, dans le contexte du Commonwealth.

Après 70 ans de cycles d’expansion et de ralentissement du développement économique mondial, les transformations environnementales, sociales et politiques laissent à penser que l’on est face à un bouleversement nous faisant passer de mondes fermés à un univers infini, multiple, émergent, dynamique et créatif. Cette journée d’étude s’attache à analyser l’avenir de la médiation technologique pour le journalisme et les médias.

Des cultures populaires marginales au polycentrisme culturel quand la marge devient centre
This aim of this symposium will be examine how marginalized cultures are constructed and produced. We will focus on the key players, the main artisans of this cultural production, as well as on the networks that result from it. We will analyze the concepts of resistance, self-exclusion and the hyper-center faced with the process of cultural polucentrism. These tensions will have to be thought of in terms of contemporary art, long time periods and historicity.

Conference, symposium - Political studies
Recent events in the United States remind us to what extent the South is both a place of distinctive identities and a space sharing a common heritage. According to the political scientist Michael Goldfield, “The South is a distinctive, atypical part of the United States; it is also, however, America writ large”. These specificities are inscribed in social, cultural, political and, according to the author, above all economic structures, in a configuration that makes any definition of the “South” problematic. On the occasion of the release of Michael Goldfield’s latest book, The Southern Key (2020) we want to address these issues during an international symposium in the presence of the author.

Circulation of knowledge around the Baltic Sea from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the 20th century
We have come a long way since the first university courses on women’s and gender history, and it is more than ever at the heart of current scientific interests. This field of research has been very well received when applied to Nordic studies, as shown by the large number of projects that are being organized. It is in this continuity that we wish, to question the place of women around the Baltic Sea and the way in which we can apprehend, study, and report their history. It seems necessary to carry out this research to deconstruct female figures, from the anonymous to the great names of history, in a space that we limit to the Baltic Sea and the regions that border it.
