Feminist Utopias at Work

Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish

Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.

Zouglou: Music, politics and society

Musique urbaine née au début des années 1990 dans les cités universitaires d’Abidjan, le zouglou s’est imposé comme une forme d’expression artistique populaire et engagée, portée par une jeunesse ivoirienne en quête de reconnaissance, de justice et de dignité. Ce colloque international entend interroger le zouglou dans sa richesse multidimensionnelle : musicale, linguistique, politique, esthétique, sociologique et historique. Il s’inscrit dans une perspective interdisciplinaire et transversale, en croisant les apports des sciences humaines et sociales, de la musicologie, de la littérature, des arts du spectacle, de l’anthropologie, des études culturelles et politiques.

Uses of the Past: Minority Experiences in Action in the Americas

Depuis le début du 21ème siècle, les Amériques connaissent un moment mémoriel particulièrement investi par les groupes dont l’histoire a été invisibilisée. Ils portent, dans l’espace public, contestations, demandes de reconnaissance, voire de réparation. Ce colloque engage une réflexion sur les usages du passé lorsqu’ils sont mobilisés par des membres de minorités ethnoraciales, qu’il s’agisse de contester une histoire nationale, de chercher à s’y inclure ou d’écrire une histoire de la minorité.

Digitization of Scholarly Knowledge through the Prism of Research Practices

Memories, Uses and Critical Issues

This conference invites participants to examine the impact of digitizing scholarly literature on research practices and the memory of scholarship. Beyond issues of access, digitization entails epistemological, documentary, and political choices that shape the circulation and appropriation of knowledge. Discussions will revolve around three main themes: the institutional and epistemological stakes of digitizing scholarly heritage, the practices and tools employed in ongoing projects, and the conditions for the valorization and reuse of digitized resources.

Prefects in the Mediterranean, Mediterranean prefects? (19th-21st century)

Created in 1802 by Bonaparte, prefects remain a pillar of state-building in contemporary France. The symposium aims to paint a portrait of Mediterranean prefects in the contemporary era (19th-21st centuries), focusing on the following (non-exclusive) questions: What backgrounds do ‘Mediterranean’ administrative elites come from? What determines their success (or failure) in terms of their careers? Is there a culture, practice and professional identity specific to these Mediterranean prefects? How are the links between these prefects and local elites manifested?

Interest groups in post-socialist Central Europe

A comparative analysis of historical, political, economic and cultural changes

In 2024, Ukraine adopted a law on lobbying in order to meet the requirements of the European Union as part of its accession process, which aims in particular to promote a culture of transparent lobbying. These rapidly evolving practices in Central Europe are at the heart of renewed research into the various links between political and administrative actors and private actors: what is the current state of knowledge?

Tele-Phonies: Listening at a Distance in the Arts and Auditory Cultures

Drawing from the hypothesis of an entanglement between auditory cultures, regimes of perception, and techniques of listening, the study day Tele-Phonies proposes to analyze the arts and cultures of listening through the plural notion of distance. The aim is to consider not only telephone and radio networks, but also a broader set of mediated practices of listening at a distance—within or on the margins of these networks—in order to grasp their impact on the sonic arts and auditory cultures.

Thinking the Relationship to Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies: Powers, Resistances, Innovations

Emerging Practices in Technologies and Communication for Development

Digital technologies constitute a central factor in the transformation of contemporary societies, with artificial intelligence representing one of their most significant vectors. They simultaneously carry promises of innovation and participation, and act as vectors of dependency, exclusion, and renewed forms of domination. The aim is to explore the tensions that run through the imagination, uses and challenges of artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies, combining critical approaches, field studies and theoretical perspectives.

La misopédie dans les institutions

Misopedia is hatred of children (similar to misogyny, which refers to hatred of women). It is the feeling of contempt – most often unconscious – that we harbour towards younger people, the rejection we subject them to in the functioning of society. Being or having been a child is the one and only universal experience common to all human beings on the planet. And yet, from generation to generation, there is a recurring inability to empathise with childhood once we have left it behind. This misopedia is not universal, but it is quite widespread and varies, of course, according to time and place.

How to write fictional history. Historiographies in imaginative fiction

La rencontre organisée par les Têtes Imaginaires vise à poursuivre la réflexion sur les liens entre histoire et littérature de l’imaginaire en repartant de l’histoire en tant que pratique d’élaboration d’un récit historique. Une dimension caractéristique des mondes imaginaires est que leur passé est structuré, par exemple en chronologies millénaires, et c’est sur la forme de ces histoires, plutôt que sur leur contenu, que portera la rencontre.

Market gardening and fruit trees in urban and peri-urban areas

Socio-environmental issues and planning challenges

The evolution of market gardening and fruit trees is a rapidly expanding field of research, hence the need for in-depth studies to identify and maximize their positive impacts in disparate urban contexts (geographical and climatic) marked by often difficult conditions and particularly strong competition between different possible uses of resources. They play an essential socio-cultural role by reflecting important heritage, symbolic, and identity values. Finally, they bring local communities together around participatory and innovative projects involving citizens, public decision-makers, associations, and researchers.

Franco-Indigenous Cultural Crossings (16th–18th Centuries)

L’histoire des rapports franco-autochtones entre 1534 et 1763 est marquée par une dynamique complexe d’échanges culturels, de transferts de savoirs et de reconfigurations identitaires. Sous le Régime Français, les pratiques d’imitation, d’adaptation et d’appropriation ont joué un rôle central dans les interactions entre Autochtones et Européens, mais aussi dans les relations intra-européennes et entre les différentes communautés des Premières Nations. Ces métissages peuvent être envisagés comme des stratégies de survie ou d’intégration. Ils se manifestent dans les domaines linguistique, religieux, artistique, juridique et politique, ainsi que dans diverses pratiques quotidiennes.

Temporary Migration (20th –21st Centuries): Spaces, Regulation, and Imaginaries

Recent migration research has recently adopted intersectional approaches by disputing age categories, Gender, and class, which have long been pivotal to the study of migrant populations. Despite being the focus of sustained scholarly inquiry, these domains continue to exhibit notable limitations particularly in areas where migrants navigate conditions of “illegality” and where state authorities frequently respond with various forms of repression, including violence, detention, stop-and-search practices, and police surveillance. This symposium will thus serve as a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange methodological insights into short-range mobility and to explore innovative approaches to researching migration contexts. Furthermore, it will provide a critical space to examine how funding agencies shape, influence, and/or potentially limit migration research agendas.

Graphic and audio-visual representations of extreme violence intended for a young audience

Since the 1980s, graphic productions (comics, graphic novels, albums) or audiovisual productions (animated films, documentary fiction, documentaries for children or adolescents, etc.) have experienced a certain renewed interest, thanks, among other things, to the combination of narrative and graphics, which allows readers to move from one level of reading to another, thus feeding two distinct but complementary levels of reading. We propose to look at all these productions (graphic and audio-visual) that are aimed at children and adolescents to tell them about the past and the violence that affected their parents or grandparents, or indirectly the history of their family or community, or, more broadly, their country.
