Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics
Relationality as a concept and a framework has become an essential component of contemporary science, theory and politics. Its transversal importance has been evidenced through its qualification as a paradigm shift in the science, as a relational turn in philosophy and theory, and as a new end goal of politics. This conference aims at creating bridges between contemporary science, theory, and politics through focusing on the various ways they approach and integrate biological relationality, understood as the entanglement of living entities with each other at different scales (cellular, physiological, multispecies, ecosystemic, planetary, etc.) and with nonliving entities (pollutants, machines, matter itself, etc.).

5th young researchers Symposium ICODOC
If language can exercise power, power can reciprocally manifest itself through language practices. It is, among other things, from an institutional point of view that the problematic of an “order of discourse” has been approached. Based on the effects of the performativity of language, the symbolic value attributed to it, and the patterns of domination conveyed by language, the research has shown that power is not an inherent characteristic of individuals, but is linked to the communication situations that imply it, especially in the institution. The legitimacy of language practices, far from being natural, is constructed by social norms and rituals which do not, however, erase the agentivity of individuals. These few thoughts raise the following questions: who exercises power and how? In what way(s) is power transmitted through language? How is legitimate language constructed and reproduced?

Rome
Despite their numerical preponderance among the missionary workforce exercising a Christian apotolate at the end of the Ottoman Empire, women have long attracted less work than men. A rebalancing is in progress, spurred on by the gender studies and extended to the whole Muslim world. We will focus on real encounter and conflict situations, avoiding an essentialist approach to Islam and considering the extreme diversity of the field strategies and practices. This approach will be carried out in equal parts, in a decentering and critical way, far from denominational approaches.

Épidémies et maladies transmissibles. Des fléaux à travers l’Histoire
Epidemics and Transmissible disease. Scourges throughout History
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread worldwide since 2019, originating from China, draws attention to a recurrent phenomenon over the centuries, that of epidemics and transmissible diseases. Firstly, it is important to define the terms of the subject. An endemic disease is one that persists permanently in a given region, such as malaria. An epidemic occurs when a contagious disease affects a large number of people at a specific time. A pandemic occurs when the disease rapidly spreads to a significant portion of the planet.

Critics, buyers, patrons: does the onlooker make the sculpture?
The history of sculpture, like that of painting, has long been studied from the perspective of sculptors. In the same way, literary texts have long been read primarily through the lens of their authors. Yet, modern linguistics has, for over a century, emphasized the crucial role of the observer in the very creation of the message. To paraphrase Duchamp: does the onlooker, or the buyer, make the sculpture?

The subject of alcoholic beverages (wine, beer, liqueurs, etc.) in the modern era has been embraced by the museum world, which has found it a pleasing and intriguing subject to attract audiences. By fostering a dialogue among researchers engaged in the exploration of this interdisciplinary annual symposium aims to scrutinize the concept of "alcoholic beverage" in France, Europe, and worldwide to better comprehend the methods and stakes related to its representation. A comprehensive approach to global exchanges and consumption patterns could shed light on a perspective often overly focused on Europe. Moreover, various disruptions, such as armed conflicts, droughts, and floods, intermittently disrupted the habits of European consumers.

Laughter in Japanese Literature from the Heian Period to the Meiji Era
Laughter is omnipresent and plays an essential role in the ancient Japanese literary tradition. Its study provides a cross-disciplinary approach to classical Japanese literature, transcending the boundaries of genres (poetry/prose) or periods (classical period, Edo period, Meiji era). More specifically, the purpose of this one-day symposium is to identify and analyse the forms of laughter present in the reputedly 'serious' genres of classical Japanese poetry (waka) and especially the novel of the Heian period, as well as in productions from later periods.

Tintinnabula, bells et small bells
News of campanology, from Antiquity to the XXIth century
A flagship object of Western Christian culture and the soundscapes covered by Alain Corbin in his work on 19th century France, the bell has had a multifaceted and complex history, but always very rich. Sound object or musical instrument, it is also a highly identity and symbolic object whose tinkling or ringing echoes a variety of social and political constructions. If this conference proposes to concentrate its attention on the object “bell”, understood in the broadest possible sense in order to grasp this complexity of meaning, it also chooses to see it from a totally diachronic angle, without chronological restriction, geographical or cultural.

Space, Gender and Discourse in Women’s Writing (1789-1914)
This conference will explore women writers’ contributions to the representation of Italy in Europe, from the 19th century to the outbreak of the First World War. At a time when women were increasingly present in the public sphere, Italy was for them a source of particular interest and attention, as women writers began to contribute to a discourse that had previously been predominantly restricted to men. Through a cross-cultural and comparative perspective, the conference aims to intersect representations of space and notions of gender, in order to trace the construction and reappropriation of Italy by women authors.

Contemporary Societies Facing Risks
Contexts, actors, experiences, and response stakes
By the midst of the the twentieth century, the world had become the scene of profound social and historical transformations sustained technological and ecological developments. Such transformations often testify to the transition from the first modernity of an industrial aspect to the second modernity, usually characterized by “cosmic risks”. Consistent with these transitions, the concept of risk has witnessed remarkable developments, evolving into an integrated approach adopted in the analysis of the profound changes in industrial society whereby the unforeseen consequences of human actions have become more frequent, intense, and influential, posing a threat to human existence altogether. Diverse scientific studies addressing the issue of risk(s) across different fields point to the structural and complex crisis accompanying the “second modernity”.

Opportunities, limits and interpretation of the night from the Antiquity to the contemporary age
Everything about darkness differs according to a wide range of factors including historical age, society, gender, social class, occupations. In this sense, we mean everything that fills the night with life, from the economic, political, social, cultural and religious activities of human beings to the behavior of animals, anything that stimulates the senses, from shadows, street lighting, stars, nocturnal plant and animal life to human bodies shrouded in darkness. In short, everything that humans experience during the night, from everyday life to the parallel world of dreams or the unwelcome visitation of ghosts to pirate attacks. The purpose of the Student Conference is to analyze the night from a broad historical perspective, starting from the state of the art on the subject and arriving at new declinations of the night and its importance for human activities in the past.

Digital democracy: promises and illusions
Internet neutrality, access to information, democracy formats
A stable and peaceful society is based on a solid and strong democracy. The democratic model is the future of any society that respects human rights.New information and communication technologies and the still poorly regulated advances in Artificial Intelligence have impacted not only all human activity, but have also contributed to reshaping the relationship with politics, citizen participation, political communication and politics, national and international. The purpose of this international conference is to question the phenomenon of electronic democracy not only from an instrumental point of view (e-voting tool), but to question the conditions of possibility and possible limits.
