Morice Awwad: Poetry, Language, and Lebanese Culture
Morice Awwad Chair invites scholars and researchers to explore the work of Morice Awwad (1934–2018), a major figure in contemporary Lebanese poetry. Awwad forged a distinctly Lebanese aesthetic by articulating cultural heritage with the challenges of modernity—marked by fragmentation, war, exile, and linguistic tension. By asserting the singularity of “Lebanese” as a language of poetic creation, he developed a mode of being and expression situated between strong local belonging and openness to the universal.

The International Forum On Democracy And Public Decision
Que signifie encore la démocratie ? Une forme républicaine de l’État, une gouvernance représentative, une croyance en l’égalité politique ? Un processus décisionnel appuyé et revisité par de garanties de respect des libertés individuelles ? Que saurait-on répondre à ceux qui affirment, décomplexés, que cela n’existe plus ? Qu’en réalité, sa pratique n’a jamais été à la hauteur des grands dessins des théoriciens les plus inspirés du bien commun ?

Omens, Thresholds, and Signs of Crisis in the Historiographical Construction of the Event
In a historical moment marked by political upheavals, social crises, environmental catastrophes, wars, and new forms of collective mobilization, reflecting on the conscious choices — and the conscious non-choices — that precede moments of historical rupture becomes a useful and necessary tool for understanding the deep connection between decision and transformation.The 2026 Student Conference seeks to shift the focus away from the final event to investigate the acts that immediately precede it and to ask whether it is possible to explore, with historical awareness, the suspended moment before rupture : the moment before the last straw.

The relationship between speech and politics is experiencing renewed interest today. Since Foucault, political theory has examined the scope of “speaking truth” as a form of resistance, most recently illustrated by the unleashing of speech in the #MeToo movement. In the age of social media, speech proves deeply ambivalent : it can wound just as much as it can help build a shared world. Theories of recognition remind us that democracy requires all voices to be heard, a condition still far from being fulfilled.

Rethinking Early Modern Print Today: New Questions & New Approaches
Dedicated to early modern prints, this symposium aims to take stock of the current researches and offer an overview of the diversity of approaches used to deal with this historical object. It seeks to provide a forum for exchange devoted to recent approaches and ongoing projects, whether they focus on the practices and techniques of printmaking, on its networks of production, circulation, and exchange, or on the place of the printed image within visual and material culture.

From the “Far East” to the “Indo-Pacific”
Crises, Conflicts, and Peace Processes in the Asia-Pacific (20th–21st Centuries)
Si l’histoire des relations internationales a d’emblée placé la guerre et de la paix au cœur de ses analyses, le déséquilibre demeure flagrant entre les études consacrées aux conflits armés, et celles plus discrètes relatives aux processus de paix. Une place particulière sera donc réservée aux acteurs et modalités des négociations ; à la mémoire de ces négociations, de leurs succès comme de leurs échecs, au rôle des organisations internationales ou régionales dans les sorties de guerre, aux conceptions proprement asiatiques de la paix, de la sécurité et du pacifisme, dont la dimension asiatique n’est guère abordée en dehors du Japon.

Geneva
This workshop, held at the University of Geneva on 16 June 2026, aims to foster reflection on the languages of student mobility from the nineteenth century to the present, through a historical perspective that has so far been little explored. In order to launch a historical reflection while remaining open to interdisciplinarity, the event will examine the tools and methods of language learning, as well as the actors involved in it, the learning environments, and the diplomatic stakes tied to the language of study.

Smart cities: technological innovation and sustainable urban development
Le concept de ville intelligente s’impose progressivement comme un paradigme essentiel dans la réflexion et la planification urbaines contemporaines. Comment les concepts de ville intelligente peuvent-ils être adaptés aux réalités socio-économiques, culturelles et infrastructurelles des villes camerounaises et africaines, y compris les établissements informels et les économies mixtes formelles-informelles ? Quels sont les risques d'exclusion numérique et de renforcement des inégalités socio-spatiales ? Voilà les dimensions non exhaustives qui pourraient meubler les communications attendues dans le cadre de cette journée scientifique.

Misopedia in contemporary arts and literature
Misopedia III
Pour ce troisième colloque sur la misopédie, nous aborderons les représentations artistiques des relations d’âge incluant les plus jeunes. Films, téléfilms, romans, pièces de théâtre, musiques populaires, chorégraphies, etc. jouent un rôle fondamental et colossal dans la transmission de repères intersubjectifs et institutionnels misopèdes ou, au contraire, enfantistes. Pour ce troisième colloque, comme pour les deux précédents, on se concentrera sur la période contemporaine. La nécessité d’une approche intersectionnelle enfantiste et éco-enfantiste est patente pour le monde de la recherche.

How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?
Dans quelles mesures l’histoire de ces territoires intrinsèquement liée à la question de la migration peut-elle ou non avoir un impact sur les manières de percevoir et de vivre l’installation d’exilé·es, voire de campements d’exilé·es en leur sein ? Le passé migratoire conduit-il à s’identifier à ces nouveaux-elles venus-es, à éprouver pour eux-elles de l’empathie voire à leur venir en aide ?

Pia Pera: An Archipelago of Writings
Ten years after the death of the writer Pia Pera (1956–2016), the aim of this full-day workshop is to explore her entire body of work in depth for the first time. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to restore the diversity of her writing and highlight its place in the Italian literary landscape. Her work anticipated issues that we consider essential today, and she was a complex, protean and unique figure.

L’architecture et l’infrastructure sont habitées par des spectres qui sont autant de traces de ce qu’elles ont été, mais aussi de ce qu’elles auraient pu être, ou de ce qu’elles seront peut-être un jour. Nous proposons de considérer l’architecture et l’infrastructure sous l’angle de leurs spectres, en portant l’attention sur les absences autant que sur les présences. Selon cette approche symptomale de l’architecture, il s’agirait de nous intéresser aux manifestations spectrales qui débordent de la place qu’on a donnée aux projets, imaginaires, bâtiments, infrastructures qui ont été mal oubliés.

Methodology and Applications of Language Industries in the Humanities and Social Sciences
Issues, Reflections, and Prospects
