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.

Visual History of the Conquest of Turkestan by the Russian Empire, 1860-1900
Testimonies, Representations, Commemoration, Decolonisation
Le colloque sera consacré à l’analyse des représentations visuelles de la conquête du Turkestan par l’Empire russe au XIXe siècle. Ces représentations ont été constituées aussi bien par les témoins directs que par les générations soviétiques et post-soviétiques cherchant à les héroïser, mythifier, inscrire ou oublier dans diverses reconstructions historiques.

Study days - Ethnology, anthropology
Cette journée d’étude vise à réunir les chercheurs et chercheuses de tout horizon travaillant sur les productions des missionnaires chrétiens forgées entre 1830 et 1970 dans les contextes coloniaux et post-coloniaux. Dans une approche d’anthropologie historique, nous souhaitons porter une attention particulière aux sources produites par les missionnaires (lettres, rapports, annales, documents iconographiques, photographies, écrits destinés à être publiés, témoignages oraux etc.) en les approchant comme des données empiriques, porteuses à la fois d’un discours émique et de contextes intellectuels historiques.

Conference, symposium - History
Reconfigurations and Circulations, 1776-1848
The European, and later global, circulation of theories and practices of animal magnetism, which covers a large part of the “long 19th century”, is a phenomenon that is significant but little studied in its complexity. The theory of the universal fluid and the magnetic therapies developed by Franz Anton Mesmer in Vienna flourished in Paris, and spread around 1784 all over France, to the colonies, to Malta and throughout Europe following the trajectories of learned, Masonic, mystical and esoteric societies, and of artistic and musical creation. This phenomenon of diffusion continued and was extended, particularly after the Revolution, in a double dynamic of claimed continuity with Mesmer’s discoveries, and of re-elaboration in the direction of the practices of somnambulism and hypnosis. It deserves to be studied from different sources, perspectives and disciplinary approaches.

We have just undergone a health crisis of rare proportions and the violence of the war in Europe is engulfing us on a daily basis. How do we cope with such brutality? How can we overcome difficult events of this type? How can children and adolescents cope with such threats on the psychological level? What is the impact on health in general? And last but not least, what kind of treatment is needed? How can we respond to the massive increase in suicide attempts that we are currently witnessing? How should suffering be assessed? What innovative forms of care can occupational physicians, psychiatrists or psychologists offer? Online therapies seem to have undeniable advantages for some patients but what effect does this have on a patient's relationship with a therapist? Is digital technology more of an obstacle to or conversely a catalyst for that therapeutic relationship?

Cinematerialisms: New Materialist Approaches to the Audiovisual (Cinema, Medias, Digital Arts)
L’idée d’un cinéma matérialiste a souvent été comprise de deux manières différentes voire opposées. D’une part, elle renvoie aux matérialismes historiques hérités du marxisme (cinémas soviétiques des années 1920-1930, films militants des années 1970, etc.). D’autre part, la notion renvoie aux pratiques se concentrant sur l’exploration de la spécificité du médium, attachées aux caractéristiques techniques, concrètes des images et du son. Ce colloque international veut interroger les reconfigurations contemporaines de la notion de matérialisme dans le cadre des études des arts et cultures audiovisuelles.

Legal humanism, eloquence and rhetoric
Composante essentielle du renouveau intellectuel européen, le courant dit « humanisme juridique » (it. Umanesimo giuridico, angl. Legal Humanism, all. humanistische Jurisprudenz), particulièrement fécond aux XVe et XVIe siècles, se définit par une approche des textes hérités du droit romain qui s’oppose et en même temps complète les traditions médiévales de la glose et du commentaire. Des chercheurs travaillant sur l’humanisme juridique ont décidé de créer un groupe de travail qui les rassemble. Il s’agit de faciliter la convergence, l’échange et la mise en commun de ressources entre les spécialistes partenaires, qui ressentent le besoin d’approfondir leurs connaissances de façon complémentaire et souhaitent la mise en place d’une action commune et coordonnée dans le domaine de l’humanisme juridique.

L’objectif de ce colloque international est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes prises par la « civilisation du journal » qui s’est développée à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et jusqu’à la première guerre mondiale, dans les espaces méditerranéens qui, sans avoir été précurseurs, ont aussi connu un grand développement journalistique. L’approche se veut sociale, culturelle et matérielle, dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique récent des études sur la presse, afin de saisir la manière dont les journaux ont été produits et les entreprises de presse gérées, de saisir toutes les formes de circulations et pratiques journalistiques et d’interroger le rapport de ces journaux à l’image.

The relevance of Eugen Ehrlich’s thought to empirical methods of law
The year 2022 marks the centenary of Eugen Ehrlich's death. This great Austro- Hungarian jurist is often presented as the father of legal sociology. As a close observer of legal practices, he was the first to use and invent concepts that have become fundamental in legal sociology today, such as legal pluralism, living law, and legal consciousness. Ehrlich’s research revisits and reverses the illustrious tradition of the Pandects, established and perfected by legal scholars such as Savigny or Puchta. Although Ehrlich has inspired jurists around the world, he remains a little known figure in France. The present symposium is therefore devoted to reconsider the actuality of his thought, using the last chapters of his Grundlegung der Soziologie des Rechts (Foundation of the Sociology of Law) as a main reference. During the first day, specialists will introduce us to the concepts of his methodology of legal sociology and the influence he had on his contemporaries. Once the fundamentals have been established, the second day will highlight the dynamics of Ehrlich's thought for law contemporary research.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity
This international symposium brings together transdisciplinary researchers in order to renew the outlook on European Protohistory. Protohistoric societies having left few texts, can sites or artefacts tell us about the immaterial production of knowledge? Recent researches on comparatism, in archaeoastronomy, ethnomathematics, paleopathology or bioarchaeology, show that these societies produced knowledge and transmitted it, raising the question of the exchange of this knowledge and technologies. The texts produced by the contemporaries of the Celts show a complex and codified culture, corroborated by the found artefacts. Our gaze must therefore depart from a disciplinary compartmentalization, researches combining archaeology, astronomy, artificial intelligence, mathematics, provide interesting answers on this question.

Sédimentation : vers une archéologie du texte et de l'image
XIIIe congrès international de l’« International association of word and image studies » (IAWIS) / Association international pour l’étude des rapports entre texte et image (AIERTI)
The 13th International Conference of the International Word and Image Association (IAWIS) will take place between 28 August and 01 September 2023 in hybrid mode at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Next year's conference will focus on the concept of sedimentation in word-image studies. The term, in its literal and metaphorical sense, will allow us to examine historical, theoretical and thematic issues that cross cultural, literary and artistic productions, and to consider the tensions, articulations, oscillations that intertwine the word and the image.

São Bento de Cástris na diáspora cisterciense. Desafios actuais e futuros
Xª Residência Cisterciense São Bento de Cástris
The Cistercian Residence proposed for the monastery of São Bento de Cástris aims first and foremost to reinvent in contemporary times the historical density of the Cistercian discourse, integrating the geography of this monastery in Évora into a wider geography of the Cistercian Order. Inspired by the questions of Cistercian History, Art, Heritage and Landscape, the Residence, governed by the daily rhythm of the Benedictine Rule, will focus on the experience of the monastery's spaces and on the debate of current issues related to monastic spaces and their future, focusing on the original character of the initiative.

American pop culture in languages and history classrooms
This roundtable, that is organized around the publication of the book, In the Cogwheels of American Pop Culture, aims to reflect on the strengths and limitations of using the objects of American popular culture in language and history classes. American popular culture, being a mirror of American society conveys its tensions and antagonisms. It is therefore paramount to be able to highlight how its contents can be useful in classrooms, but also the inaccuracies, prejudices, and discriminations that they can vehicle. This reflection will stress the methodology adopted by teachers to integrate these materials into their lesson plans, but also the reception that learners make of them.

Performance of Medieval Monophony (12th-16th centuries)
The journal Textus & Musica seeks contributions for a conference and a special issue of the journal, which will address the performance of medieval monophonic or monodic song (liturgical, sacred, or secular). We welcome proposals that treat a wide variety of written and visual representations, from all of Europe and beyond, in the High and Late Middle Ages focussing less on the notated chant itself than on technical, pedagogical, poetic, literary, or artistic descriptions and/or representations of the practice and performance of song for one voice. Visual sources might be artistic, representational, or iconographic, but also architectural or archaeological. Written sources might include musical or textual sources in the official languages of the practiced religions or also in vernacular languages. The multiple disciplinary perspectives should each ground interpretation in concrete historical examples and case studies.

Artificial intelligence and social equity conference
Le développement de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) a ouvert les champs du possible. En effet, l’IA joue un rôle de plus en plus important dans nos sociétés. Nos vies sont régies de manière croissante par la diversité des applications techniques associées à l’IA. C’est pour cela qu’il est important que le développement de l’IA se fasse conformément à des valeurs centrées sur l’humain, telles que les libertés fondamentales, l’égalité, l’équité, etc. Ce colloque se fixe pour objectif de générer une convergence des savoirs par une approche interdisciplinaire sur les implications de ce développement technologique sur l’équité sociale.

Narrating the North in Contemporary Cultures
Telling stories is inherent to the human beings, they are homo narrans (Fisher, 1984), and thus the storytelling activity participates in the structuring of his imagination. The act of telling therefore makes the apprehension of the surrounding world and of the unknown phenomena possible. While the North often represents an idealized space, it is also a geographical, cultural and historical reality where various influences converge, articulated within narrative practices. The question we wish to address during this conference is that of the specific narrative characteristics of the Nordic space in the modern and contemporary periods, vectors of a multiplication of media supports and discourses. That is to say, the reciprocal influence of a narrative genre or a medium and the images of Nordic places.

Muḥammad b. Yūsuf al-Sanūsī, between Islamic Studies and the Social Sciences
Dans le sillage des travaux de Sabrina Mervin, ce colloque international aborde la vie et l’œuvre d’al-Sanūsī à travers des approches croisées, entre l’islamologie et les sciences sociales. Ainsi, si la doctrine et l’œuvre du théologien seront évidemment abordées, les aspects anthropologiques de la transmission et la traduction de ses traités en contexte africain ou asiatique seront également mis en avant. Enfin, l’émergence récente d’un enseignement des ʿAqāʾid dans les mosquées et instituts en ligne en contexte européen et anglo-saxon doit susciter l’attention des sociologues, à l’heure du retour d’un traditionalisme « maḏhabique ».

Résilience, re-production littéraire et psychanalyse, l’écriture maniaque ?
From a psychoanalytical point of view, at least from the French perspective, the notion of resilience experiences contrasting fates between its media success on the one hand and the precautions taken by academics for its use on the other. It is open to interpretation, as the spectrum of meanings of this notion is so wide. Indeed, resilience can refer to the idealization of the narcissistic rebound, to the exaltation of the memorial scar, as well as to the after-effects of the - passive - work of mourning. In this session, we propose to discuss the epistemological and even ethical conditions of use of the notion of resilience, through the act of writing - of French literary works of the 20th century - as a symbolic attempt to elaborate the conflict between the depressive position and mania defenses.
