    Sport, Politics, and Society

    According to some specialists, sport is a universal phenomenon which, in various forms, has always existed. For others, the existence of sport in Antiquity cannot be envisaged because, at that time, it was a cultural practice with a strong religious dimension. Whatever these debates, sport can be defined as an activity practiced alone or in a group, an activity requiring physical qualities, strength, skill, reflexes, endurance, and moral qualities. Practitioners observe rules specific to each sport, exercise for their own pleasure, their health or compete in competitions. This activity is partially institutionalized: many sportsmen and women join specialized clubs, affiliated to federations that define regulations and organize official competitions, Olympic Games, world, national and regional championships, tournaments, grand prix, land or sea races, etc.

    How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?

    In this call for papers, we would like to focus specifically on the particular case of cities that have historically developed through multiple waves of migration. We are thinking not only of the former working-class towns in north-eastern Paris, but also of border towns that have found themselves on the front line of migration reception during previous flare-ups of conflict in neighbouring countries.

    Teaching Design Today : Practices, Knowledge, and Reconfigured Institutions

    Ce colloque vise à interroger les mutations contemporaines qui affectent l’enseignement du design, dans un contexte marqué par des transformations profondes — sociétales, écologiques, numériques, culturelles — appelant à repenser les cadres pédagogiques, les formes de transmission, les articulations entre théorie et pratique, et les liens entre école, recherche et société. Les trois axes du colloque interrogent les fondements de l’enseignement du design face aux mutations contemporaines. Le premier explore la formation à la pensée critique, à l’éthique et à la responsabilité sociale et environnementale. Le second valorise la transdisciplinarité et les pratiques collaboratives entre disciplines. Le troisième s’ouvre aux apports du numérique, aux pratiques émergentes et à la recherche-création comme moteurs de renouvellement pédagogique.

    Disability issues in French and European Overseas Territories

    The situation of people with disabilities is specific in French or European overseas areas (the Azores, Aruba, Bermuda...). Several phenomena characterize them (marginality on several scales, insularity possibly, particular legislation, economic situation). Moreover, each territory has specificities of the same order. And it can itself show strong internal variations (French Polynesia, Guyana, Bermuda) depending on the distance from the local center, isolation or different forms of marginality (which do not include only isolation or remoteness, but a social margin). In these conditions, people live situations very different from those of the metropolitan areas, with care, views on otherness, solidarities... sometimes far removed from the metropolitan realities. However, on this subject, knowledge is often lacking.

    10th Academic days on Open Government & Digital Issues

    One of the goals of the open government process is to promote greater transparency and encourage citizen participation and collaboration in government decision-making, but also to promote government accountability. In this perspective, it is important to emphasize the role of citizens, civil society and stakeholders in decision-making to improve government policies. Since the 2nd edition, the Academic days expressly refer to “digital issues” in the title of the international conference, as digitalization is a major issue for open governments in the information society. Thus, speakers can deliver speeches focused on open government issues, on digital issues or concerning both open government and digital issues.

    Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control

    This workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today's 'detention archipelagos' in migration regimes. By the term “internment” - therefore declined in the plural - we mean all forms of imprisonment, forced segregation such as confinement, containment, encampment, concentration, etc. that aim to remove/enclose individuals or entire populations in prisons, camps, places otherwise adapted for this purpose.

    Les mondes arabes au prisme des émotions

    The Arab Worlds Through the Lens of Emotions

    This call for papers invites scholars from various disciplines and countries across the region to take stock of ongoing research, at a time when emotional currents are particularly in- tense. It seeks to explore how emotions unfold, circulate, and are regulated or instrumenta- lized, in an era where their digital expression plays a decisive role in shaping the understanding and representation of contemporary conflicts. The symposium aims to bring together researchers who analyze emotions from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, with particular attention to their relational dimension—taking into account the flows and confrontations between individuals, collectives, and institutions—as well as to their material, temporal, and spatial embeddedness.

    Democracy at the University

    Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World

     This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.
