Visions, Voices, Signs, Signification

The organisers of the HHH-2023 conference invite paper proposals from their colleagues in the Human Sciences who can elucidate for their peers the hermeneutical and semiotic principles which were operative in the ideas that peoples in earlier times and in non-Western cultures entertained about the languages they spoke. We are particularly interested in proposals which investigate the belief that, in one guise or another, language is “a gift from the Gods to men”.

Call for papers - Europe

Europe’s devices, European devices?

Observatoire des discours de/sur l’Europe

After five successful international conferences (Besançon 2013, Brussels 2015, Turin 2017, Bucharest 2019 and Cyprus 2021), the Observatory of Discourses of/about Europe launches its sixth call for papers. This year, the conference aims to explore the discursive construction of Europe through the devices that make it exist, whether they tend to promote it or, on the contrary, seek to distance themselves from it or even to question it. The main aim is to continue to forge an international and interdisciplinary space for discussion on the ways in which the link between discourses on/in Europe and the approach(es) in terms of device(s) can be theoretically addressed and empirically analysed.

Studying Demands for State

From Practical Tensions to Generalised Crises

This study day intends to interrogate the notion of “demand for state” in different fields and from different social sciences disciplines such as sociology, history and political sciences. By “demand for State” we mean the process by which social groups come to invoke a certain ideal of the state through criticism, demands and reflexive practices. We will pay attention to the different levels at which these demands for state manifest themselves: in the practical tensions and daily affairs of social groups, in the formulation of a critique of the State in intergroup conflict, in the formation of public controversies leading to state reforms, and finally in political crises related to struggles for the state.

The Visionary Drawing and its Knowledge: Orients

As the “Orient” became a central object of Western knowledge and representation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the workshop will examine the way in which visionary drawing took hold of it. It aspires to open up the approach to the visionary drawing in order to comprehend its participation in epistemological and philosophical changes of modern times. It seeks to renew the methods of art history by opening up to the intersecting history of artistic, scientific and political knowledge, which will encourage - beyond the definition of a visual culture - a reflection on their convergences and divergences in terms of images and graphic processes. It will thus focus on the way in which the visionary drawing of the 19th and 20th centuries participates in, or differs from, forms of visual orientalism already well studied in art history.

Hommage et reconnaissance au professeur Ibrahima Thioub

Professor Thioub’s rich career has earned him several awards. In recognition of Professor Thioub’s huge service to education, teaching, and research, his former students (some of whom are now his colleagues in Senegal, Africa, Europe, and the United States, while others serve in senior-level positions in the Senegalese administration or in other areas of activity) have decided to organize an international conference to pay tribute to their mentor and honor his influential career as a teacher, a scholar, and a higher education administrator.

The landscape at its margins

The recognition of landscape is prepared or accompanied by artistic and scientific initiatives that define landscape differently from the brief definition given by the Dictionary of the French Academy in 1762. Indeed, for the latter, the landscape is an "Extent of country that one sees from a single aspect". However, “extent” cannot sum up landscape painting and this call for papers wishes to investigate the notion of landscape in the 17th and 18th centuries in a different way.

Seminar - Representation

Architectural photography

“Architectural photography (kenchiku shashin 建築写真)” is an expansive and multifaceted notion, approached differently by architects, urban planners, interior designers, developers, publishers, amateur photographers, commissioned professional photographers, or artists. This confrontation of meanings and uses is what interests us. Indeed, while architectural photography has been widely and regularly displayed since the 19^th century, through albums, dedicated magazines, serial publications, photobooks, and exhibitions, there is currently no in-depth study that allows for a global understanding. Therefore, we have decided to initiate a seminar that aims to formulate a definition of this notion that encompasses all of its complexity.

The “Portfolio” from Every Angle

Archiving and Preserving Working Documents (1680s-1820s)

The preservation of digital data is a current societal issue. The eighteenth century saw a similar awareness due to an unprecedented increase in the quantity of documents preserved and therefore available. One of its manifestations was the portfolio (or “porte-feuille”): “cardboard folded in two, covered with skin or some cloth, & used to carry papers” (Dictionnaire de l’Académie Française, 1718). The aim of this conference is to examine this medium for storing and classifying personal documents, whether or not they were known to his contemporaries, published or not: drafts, reading notes, letters, printed matter and other “living writings”. The entire literate society can then be considered, let us think of the portfolios of a minister, an artist, a merchant, a craftsman, a man of letters, a scholar, etc. The French term “portefeuille” itself suggests tracking its progressive use throughout Europe and its colonial extensions.

Landscapes and sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy

The international interdisciplinary conference “Landscapes and Sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy”, focuses on the study of landscapes and the rediscovery of sanctuaries in Southern Italy and Greece between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. It invites to cross archaeological and historical approaches to understand the link between sanctuaries and landscapes, but also the way these data have conditioned the rediscovery of lost archaeological sites.

Continuity of the notion of border in the cultural and creative industries

6th study day of the Young Researchers Network of LabEx ICCA

Cet événement sera l’occasion de questionner d’une part les évolutions des démarcations esthétiques et symboliques, ainsi que leurs effets sur la valorisation des biens culturels et le travail des créateurs. Nous nous intéresserons d’autre part à l’actualité des frontières nationales dans la circulation mondialisée des biens culturels à l’heure des plateformes numériques. Nous aborderons enfin les défis épistémologiques que posent les évolutions de ces différentes frontières pour la recherche sur les industries culturelles et créatives.

The visionary drawing and its knowledge

Portraits and faces

The workshop suggests to reflect on the transformations of the portrait and on the representation of the face in the visionary drawing of the 19^th and 20^th century. Associated with the research programme on the written and drawn archives of Théophile Bra (1797-1863) and supported by the University of Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Studies – USIAS, it aspires to open up the approach to the visionary drawing in order to comprehend its participation in epistemological and philosophical changes of modern times. It seeks to renew the methods of art history by including the history of science and of knowledge about the psyche, medicine and philosophy, which will encourage – beyond the definition of a visual culture – a reflection on the creativity they have in common in terms of images and graphic processes.

Social protest and its futures

For a temporal approach to political action

Dans quelles temporalités futures s’inscrivent les mobilisations contemporaines ? Cet appel à communication part des postulats selon lesquels les temporalités qui entourent la vie sociale sont nécessairement multiples et parfois antagonistes ; que les projections des individus vers les horizons temporels futurs cohabitent avec celles d’autres rapports au temps, qu’il s’agisse des horizons temporels passé et présent ou des rythmes, des échéances, des sentiments l’urgence ou d’ennui ; et que les imaginaires du futur façonnent des états émotionnels (individuels ou collectifs) qui orientent le contenu des pratiques visant à transformer le monde. À partir de ces postulats, cet appel souhaite regrouper des chercheur·euses travaillant sur les fondements temporels des contestations sociales contemporaines.

L’emprise de la communication

The Grip of Communication

Pour ses dix ans d’existence, la revue Politiques de communication organise un colloque international dont l’ambition est de proposer une réflexion d’ensemble sur « l’emprise de la communication » dans la structuration des espaces sociaux contemporains. Il propose un bilan des travaux sur l’évolution des pratiques et représentations sociales de la communication et leurs implications organisationnelles. Il propose également d’interroger les rapports sociaux de domination - de genre, de classe, de « race », de génération et autres - dont la communication est un outil et parfois un révélateur.

« Dans l’espace, personne ne vous entend crier, ou peut-être bien que si »

“In space no one can hear you scream, or can they?”

« Dans l’espace personne ne vous entend crier », l’accroche publicitaire, devenue iconique, du film Alien de Ridley Scott souligne le rôle prépondérant joué par les « voix, sons, bruits, silences » en science-fiction. Pour Nis Gron, « William Whittington a démontré combien Alien (1979) a été un tremplin essentiel qui a montré l’importance et a permis le développement de la bande sonore, notamment dans l’utilisation expressionniste des effets sonores, des sons ambiants et des bruitages dans les films de science-fiction ». La science-fiction joue avec les complexités et les contradictions des « sons et silences » à travers les bandes sonores et au sein des intrigues.
