  The art press today, towards a reconfiguration of a media genre ?

  La presse culturelle actuelle recouvre des formats extrêmement divers : elle peut être une revue de critique d’art ou d’histoire de l’art, une revue généraliste ou plus pointue, un guide culturel ou un magazine qui traite de l’actualité par le prisme de l’art ou encore une revue consacrée à un art en particulier. Tout ceci sans compter l’incroyable variété de la presse culturelle en ligne, rassemblant des blogs amateurs, des podcasts mais aussi des revues numériques. Ce colloque international a pour ambition d’embrasser cette diversité et entend mettre en évidence la manière dont les médias – traditionnels et en ligne – portent un regard sur les arts plastiques, les arts vivants, l’architecture, le design graphique, le cinéma, la littérature, la musique ou encore le patrimoine.

  Women and religions in the societies of the Indian Ocean

  Cette journée d’étude a ainsi pour objectif de questionner la place des femmes dans les religions des sociétés de l’océan Indien tout autant que les relations qu’elles tissent à travers ces sociétés dans leur croyances et pratiques religieuses. Pour cette journée d’étude, il s’agit de porter un regard à la fois anthropologique, psychologique et sociologique des réalités mais aussi des émergences religieuses telles que vécues ou mises en oeuvre, tant par le passé que dans le présent actuel, par les femmes au sein des sociétés de l’océan Indien.

  Persistence of Travelling Cinema Throughout the Twentieth Century

  This workshop will explore travelling cinema practises on a global scale in their historical, material and cultural diversity and will look at the ways in which they interfere with the communal identities of audiences. How communities – understood as porous, linguistic, ethnic, religious groups, crossed by various social and cultural dynamics – structured travelling cinema audiences and, conversely, how travelling cinema screening venues created, reinforced or perturbed community identities? The time span adopted goes from the 1920s to the end of the 20^th century, up to the moment when television got rooted in the daily spectatorial practices and the VCR player developed (a point in time that differs according to local media histories).

  Mundo hispánico-mundo global: memoria y futuro

  The encounter of Spain with America is an event of transcendental importance and has generated an original cultural space extended over half a billion people over the world. The conference, lectures, and activities will cover a wide range of topics and disciplines (arts, history, political sciences, philosophy...) to celebrate the richness and the global trajectory of the Hispanic cultures. The First International Hispano-American Congress aims to be an academic and cultural event, in a lively and attractive format, with a significant media projection; an opportunity to reflect on the unity made of the polyphony of voices from Hispanism around the world.

  Crise des réfugiés ukrainiens versus méditerranéens

  Des politiques en crise ou des promesses dans la question migratoire ?

  The war in Ukraine has provoked an unprecedented humanitarian surge. The various actors: governments, NGOs, associations, civil societies are organizing themselves to offer assistance to Ukrainian refugees. The European Union is applying a 2001 directive, which allows for the granting of temporary protection status in order to guarantee rapid access to rights: right of residence, access to work, to healthcare, to housing, education... to a stay in decent and safe conditions. These exceptional conditions granted to refugees contrast with the conditions of Mediterranean refugees. It is in this context that the United Nations human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, welcomes this humanitarian solidarity but also recalls that other migrants and refugees are often faced with refoulement and criminalization at the EU's borders and beyond.

  Labor and its Measurements in Imperial Context and Legacies

  Plusieurs communications et une table ronde seront consacrées aux différentes formes et à la mesure du travail à l’échelle des empires, retenant pour l’essentiel les empires coloniaux, mais sans exclure d’autres configurations. Ce colloque réunira des chercheurs plus ou moins avancés dans la recherche, issus de différents continents, pour s’interroger collectivement à la fois sur les différentes façons d’évaluer, de rémunérer et de comptabiliser l’activité productive, et sur les manières de mobiliser, compter, encadrer et classer les travailleurs. Les héritages des situations coloniales et de domination seront pris en compte pour aborder le sujet dans la longue période, des XVIII^e au XXI^e siècle.

  Animals as Worshippers of God First of All

  On Animal Piety in Islam

  In this symposium, we aim to consider the religious figure of the animal in Islam, neither as an object of worship (an idol) nor a means of worshipping (sacrificial offering), but rather as a fully-fledged subject, a worshipper of God and a model for all worshippers. What are the origin and theological posterity of verses like, “Do you not see that God is glorified by all those in the heavens and the earth, even birds in rows?” (24:41) What does believing in animal worship of God imply for the definition of religion itself?

  Refondation de la recherche géographique et de l’enseignement de la géographie au Cameroun et en Afrique

  Revamping Geographic Research and Teaching in Cameroon and Africa

  Plus d’un demi-siècle après le début de l’odyssée de la géographie camerounaise, il nous a semblé nécessaire de faire une pause, d’établir un bilan et d’imaginer de nouveaux modes de penser, de faire de la recherche et de l’enseignement de la géographie au Cameroun et dans la sous-région Afrique centrale. Il est question de mieux s’impliquer dans le mouvement global au sein des sciences humaines et sociales et de la géographie en particulier : décloisonnement des spécialités, problématiques transversales, demande sociale et nécessité d’expertise.

  Telling and exhibiting minorities in France and North America

  Minorities and their museum mediations

  Nous proposons, dans ce colloque, de nous pencher sur les relations entre les minorités et les musées et sites patrimoniaux en Amérique du Nord et en France, en abandonnant le point de vue majoritaire, qui se décline en termes de domination et d’assignation, pour renverser le regard. En nous situant du point de vue de l’expérience minoritaire, nous pourrons envisager la minorité dans sa capacité à agir. Dans la relation des minorités aux musées, il est possible de distinguer deux mouvements qui, bien qu’autonomes, interagissent. Le premier, sans doute le plus documenté, par lequel les musées ont essayé de « décoloniser » les récits sur l’expérience minoritaire. Le second par lequel les groupes minorisés ont promu l’émergence de contre-récits indépendants, sous des formes diverses, leurs actions précédant souvent la réévaluation critique des politiques muséales.

  Chile 1970-1973 in a transnational key. From the “Chilean road to socialism” to the military dictatorship

  Este coloquio busca analizar con una perspectiva transnacional el ciclo clave de la historia de Chile que se extiende desde los primeros días de la Unidad Popular (UP) en hasta el desmantelamiento de la «vía chilena al socialismo» (1970-1973). Nos interrogaremos sobre el impacto y la influencia internacional que la posibilidad de construir el socialismo por vías institucionales ejerció en las diversas fuerzas de izquierda más allá de las fronteras del país. Veremos también cómo el ascenso de Allende activó redes transnacionales de derecha y demócrata-cristianas, organizando transnacionalmente la oposición a la UP. El influjo ideológico del Golpe de Estado de 1973 también será evaluado.

  Pedro da Silveira – the faces of a cultural polyhedron

  Commemoration conference on the centennial of Pedro Da Silveira's birth

  On the centennial year of Pedro da Silveira (born in September, 5, 1922), the University of the Azores joins the celebration activities organised by several institutions in Portugal and abroad with the commemoration conference entitled Pedro da Silveira – the faces of a cultural polyhedron, which aims at reflecting on the many facets of this writer. Born on Flores Island, in the Azores, Pedro da Silveira spent a great part of his life in mainland Portugal, but never broke the attachment to his home archipelago. His work encompasses a variety of interests, including literary writing and literary criticism, historical research, philological edition, translation and anthology. It is the purpose of the conference to highlight all these fields and to encourage further inquiry on his work, still insufficiently explored.

  The power of words

  La journée d’étude aura pour thématique « Le pouvoir des mots ». Elle vise à interroger l’origine des mots, leur usage socialement situé et ce qu'ils charrient de représentations du monde social, les catégorisations qu’ils impliquent ; mais aussi les luttes d’imposition ou de contestation de certaines notions qui ont parfois lieu, entre des individus ou des groupes d’individus appartenant à différents champs et qui reconnaissent dans les mots un certain pouvoir. En trois axes, nous explorerons les mots du pouvoir et leur violence symbolique, puis les mots comme enjeux de lutte dans les mouvements sociaux, pour finir sur les enjeux méthodologiques dans l'analyse du discours.

  Bubbles of Sciences: Field Stations in peripheral territories

  Congrès 4S, Society fo the Social Studies of Science

  Since the 1970s, the social sciences have analysed the production of science as a historically and geographically situated social practice. Thus far, empirical studies have mostly been carried out in industrialised countries with a focus on major metropoles. Very few analyses rely on case studies from non-industrialised countries or scientific “places” that are neither urban (laboratories, museums, hospitals, etc.) nor temporary field practices designed to collect data for those institutions (expeditions, field work, etc.). In contrast, this panel sheds light on permanent scientific places at the margins of colonial or post-colonial territories.

  Rethinking Knowledge, Reshaping the University

  17th Annual and International Colloquium of the Society of Activities and Research on the Indian World

  University is one of the places (among others) of training, production and transmission of knowledge. If the goal of training is to participate in the process of social transformation, universities are one of the "unconditional" spaces (in the words of Derrida) to exchange with one's contemporaries. University remains a place where people mix, where people meet and where hospitality as a value still holds true to some extent. These attributes can also make it a place that can generate power struggles by holding up a mirror to society.This conference will address some issues regarding the future of higher studies in India, and in the Global South: How to continue to "produce" and share knowledge in the face of endless liberalization? What choices, what paths, what research projects can be on offer in the training programs at universities in the 21st century? How can we rethink knowledge and reshape the university? How can we reinvent the missions of academic transmission and research to meet the challenges of our time and anticipate those of the next generations?

  Islam et altérité

  True acceptance of otherness in a globalized and pluralistic world allows us to measure the capacity of religious, philosophical or political thought to fit in and assume the contemporary societal dynamics inherent to globalization (Taylor). This acceptance is not devoid of resistance that stem from the rise of entrenched identity expressions founded in particularly on a vision of equality that is based on the “similar” which assumes a historical-ethnic or religious identity. (Pierre Rosanvallon, La Société des égaux, Paris, Seuil, 2011.). The congress “Islam and Otherness” proposes to reflect on how Islam fits into this societal movement beyond identity resistance.

  Analysis of relics, hagiographic legends and Carolingian memories

  Around the body of the Apostle James the Greater in Toulouse

  Since the 14th century, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse has been proud to possess the entire body of James the Greater. After a first preparatory seminar on 11 March 2019 in Toulouse (Vraies et fausses reliques: un vrai faux problème), a workshop was held on 10 December 2021 (Les reliques toulousaines de Jacques le Majeur), focusing on the material aspects (examination of bones, reliquaries, and authentic items). In a final stage, the results of these analyses should be put into perspective during a meeting which would lead to the writing of a monograph bringing together all the studies carried out on the relics of Saint James in Toulouse.

  Polls as a means of political legitimation

  Today, the importance of opinion polls must be discussed in the context of an increasing “doxophrenia”, i.e., the obsessive need to quantify opinions, and an increasing mistrust (of citizens as well as political actors) towards opinion polls. The focus of this conference is thus on questions of legitimacy and legitimation as well as opinion polls as an instrument of political communication: polling expertise considered both as a method of forecasting and political framing.
