Language : New Productions and New Perspectivess from Antiquity to the Present Day
The conference will take place from October 22 to 24, 2025, at Université Jean Monnet, in Saint-Étienne. The junior laboratory GRAPHÉ (Research Group on Philological and Human Action through an Epistemological Prism) was founded at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne in 2024. It aims at conducting an incipient, interdisciplinary study of the ways in which languages influence and are influenced by human actions. After an initial symposium in October 2024 dedicated to the interpenetration of language and politics, we now wish to organize a conference focusing on language in all its newest forms, by confronting it with the latest analytical prisms and methods of study.

Music and Knowledge Making in the 18th Century
Cette conférence, organisée par Amparo Fontaine (Post-doctorante Marie Curie, EHESS-CRH, GEHM/ Universidad Católica de Valparaíso), explore les trajectoires entrelacées de la musique et des savoirs scientifiques. Elle vise à analyser ce que signifiait concevoir la musique comme une « science » et à l’examiner dans les académies scientifiques au XVIIIe siècle. En intégrant divers champs d’étude, acteurs sociaux et perspectives géographiques, la conférence stimulera des discussions interdisciplinaires sur la musique en tant que source et instrument de savoir.

Ce colloque s’intéresse au phénomène de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et ses impacts sur le management des organisations en Afrique. Si l’intelligence artificielle constitue des opportunités pour les uns, elles représentent aussi des menaces pour les autres. En Afrique, l’inquiétude générée par l’IA est liée au risque d’aggravation de la fracture numérique et des inégalités sociales entre pays riches et pays pauvres. Face aux défis, opportunités et menaces potentielles, ce colloque international se propose d’explorer les multiples dimensions de l’IA appliquées à la gestion des organisations dans le contexte africain.

Heritage Villages and Tourism: Local Issues, Global Experiences
In a societal context that calls for practices to be reinvented for a sustainable territorial development (Knafou, 2023), heritage villages are at the crossroads of several issues, both in terms for the actions of inhabitants and the participation of visitors and tourists. This conference, organised by ESTHUA, the National Institute of Tourism - INNTO France of the University of Angers, and ICUNA, the Joint Institute of the Universities of Ningbo and Angers, will focus on several issues relating to the heritage of villages and the challenges they face in terms of tourism, in particular: adaptation to local society, the natural, environmental and intangible dimensions of the heritage on offer, adaptation to tourist numbers and the involvement of local people in tourism development projects.

At the crossroads of literary, ethical and political issues, this conference aims to examine the depiction of mobility in European prison literature: because the prison space is the place of prevented mobility, prison literature confers a central and paradoxical part on movement, whether concrete or metaphorical.

From Polarity to Circumpolarity: The Future of Canadian Studies in Europe
This multidisciplinary conference examines how the deconstruction of the dualisms that have dominated in Western thought since the 17th century takes shape in Canadian studies. Building on the Canadian landscape and scholarship on its nordicity, we hypothesize a move from polarity to circumpolarity in Canadian studies conducted in Europe. This multidisciplinary conference welcomes proposals from all fields of research, in the hope of bringing together complementary perspectives on the (circum)polarities in Canadian studies.

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

This Young Researchers Colloquium aims atvisualizing and discussing that film corpus and its aesthetic, socio-historical andmethodological issues.

Gouvernance, économie et société dans l’Antiquité : nouvelles perspectives de recherche
This year, as part of the 2025 edition of the Synoikismos Interuniversity Doctoral Seminar, the annual theme days are intended as a space for dialogue open to all researchers working on Antiquity, regardless of discipline or perspective. The proposed themes - governance, economy and society - do not constitute closed axes. They are intended to provide a sufficiently broad framework for a wide range of research, whether political, social, economic, cultural or methodological.

The ‘Mettre en scène l’Apocalypse’ research project has been conceived in two phases - a workshop in spring 2025 followed by a colloquium in summer 2026 - with the aim of reviewing our knowledge of the Angers Apocalypse tapestry and proposing a comprehensive and renewed study of the work and its functions. By bringing together specialists from different fields of research who have worked on other objects or other themes, the aim is to analyse the functions of this object and the discourse it was used to support in a fresh and collective way. In this respect, all proposals for comparisons are welcome.

Adult domination in contemporary artistic, scientific, political and medical
Misopaedia refers to the hatred of children (in the same way that misogyny refers to the hatred of women). A first-ever international and transdisciplinary colloquium was held in October 2024 at the University of Limoges. The aim is to continue this movement with a second part of the colloquium around adult or adultist domination and discrimination of children. Not only from a legal and psychological point of view, but also through various fictional representations which we know to be of vital importance in shaping individual and collective visions. This will hopefully contribute to changing behaviors towards the youngest members of our society.

In this seminar, we will analyze the dispute over what is perceived as a crisis at the level of social reproduction in order to develop the notion of “fascistization of social reproduction” (Silvia Federici), as a key point to understand the forms of anti-feminism as programmatic elements of the new ultra-right.

The Democratic Republic of Congo in the "Process of Atlantic African States" (PEAA)
Assets, Issues and Perspectives
En 2022, la République démocratique du Congo avait lancé les travaux de construction du port en eau profonde de Banana. En termes géopolitique, les 37 km de façade sur l’Océan atlantique que possède ce pays devraient être valorisés, car l’état du bief maritime dans cette façade ne permettait pas aux navires hauturiers d’accéder aux infrastructures portuaires en place, notamment les ports maritimes de Matadi et de Boma. Mais aussi, depuis quelques années une dynamique s’est développée autour ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui "Processus des États africains atlantiques (PEAA)". Il s'agit dans ce colloque de déblayer le terrain et suggérer aux décideurs politiques, sur la base de quelques données fiables, certaines options nécessaires à lever pour le bien être, l’existence et la survie de la nation congolaise au sein de ce Processus.

Showing Architecture, 15th-20th Centuries: Power and its Symbols
This symposium is aimed to investigate the phenomenon of “monstration” of architecture over several centuries, in its material, event-driven and symbolic aspects; symbolic aspect, in particular when it involves a power struggle, whether in the context of the architectural profession, cross-professional relations or, above all, expressions of central political (i.e. whether monarchical, imperial, republican, institutional, religious) or competition power.

In proposing an understanding of the issues involved in international environmental cooperation, we aim to diagnose the constraints and prospects for the ecological, economic and societal transition. In addition, this conference project aims to make a contribution to the discussions and actions that form part of the joint and cooperative fight against climate change, for sustainable environmental protection, over and above the specific socio-economic and cultural challenges of national and geopolitical territories.

Natural history museums and contemporary issues: what discourses on collections?
In France, museology as an academic field is torn between multiple disciplines (history of art, information and communication sciences, history of science, anthropology, etc.). However, until now there have been very few spaces dedicated to the specific problems arisen by naturalist collections, from a museological point of view. In its first year, the seminar "Museums and contemporary issues: what discourse on natural history collections?" is looking at the issues raised by the specificities of natural history collections and the museums that keep and curate them.Every month, it brings together researchers and curators around a general question: how do the exchanges between museums and the actors of civil society transform the discourse associated with collections?
