  Shaping Africa’s Future

  The primary objective of the international and interdisciplinary conference consists in scrutinizing the multilayered issue of Africa in the making. It demonstrates an intellectual alignment that scholars and academics from diverse affiliations have persistently endorsed: the African continent incorporates the genes of replenishment for, it has a boundless prospective for economic, cultural and political regeneration. The African resumption conception is a long-standing notion. In Gargantua, the narrator uses a proverb quoted by Erasmus in the axiom 2610 which quintessence is borrowed from Pliny the Elder and Aristotle: Ex semper Africa aliquid novi. Encumbered with negative values (Afro-pessimism), positive tenets (Afro-optimism) or beheld according to the procedures of stringent scientific judiciousness, Africa is a continent that counts. As such, it has the status of a fatality engraved at the core of the tragedy of History, as the ideologists of Negritude have already assumed.

  The animal in the Asian imagination : alter or alter ego ?

  This conference proposes to explore the polysemy of the imaginary of the animal, especially the wild animal, in Asia and its functions: is it an "alter ego", a protective animal, bringing to humanity its own powers or a radical "alter", which represents a world other than humanity; what are the stakes of these various representations for humanity as well as for the sharing of the planet with the animal world? It seems to us that if man symbolically acquires the power of the animal, it is on the condition that he remains beyond a real or metaphorical man/animal border. Faced with the disappearance of primary spaces and non-modernized populations, the wild animal thus seems the ultimate reservoir of the anti-modern, of what escapes the anthropocene, what is not "for" humanity.

  Miraculous Images in Global Perspectives

  Images are ubiquitous in the world’s religious traditions – even in those traditions in which their creation and veneration have been highly circumscribed or entirely banned. They can serve as objects or expressions of devotion, as pedagogical instruments, as markers of class or status, and as aesthetic productions in their own right. But not all images are held to be equal. In “Miraculous Images in Global Perspective”, we seek to examine in cross-cultural perspective the phenomenon of images that possess supramundane powers or abilities: to perform miracles, emit light, sweat, bleed, move about, heal, protect and at times even to destroy.

  Interactions between two contemporary social phenomena

  L’objet de cette journée d’étude est de dresser un premier état des lieux entre activités physiques (sports, éducation physique, etc.) et populisme, à travers des exemples particulièrement significatifs (Jeux olympiques, sport de compétition, formation, etc.), de la deuxième moitié du XIX^e siècle jusqu’à aujourd’hui, à travers différents pays et, en particulier, l’Amérique du sud, berceau de cette « idéologie » avec la Russie. Le sport sous toutes ses formes d’expression (Jeux olympiques, sport « bourgeois », sport ouvrier, etc.) sera envisagé ainsi que certaines figures révélatrices de cette orientation (Mussolini, Poutine, Orban, etc.).

  Digital Arts and Humanities in ethnomusicology

  During the Covid pandemic, the academic world turned towards technology, digital tools and alternative media forms not only to support the transmission of ideas, research and teaching, but also to continue carrying out fieldwork. Musicians also adapted their use of these tools by producing sound and music online, which in turn enabled them to explore new opportunities and to engage in innovative collaborations, opening doors to new audiences that had been hitherto inaccessible. Alongside the rise of digital tools, contemporary ethnomusicology is faced with many questions, some of which emerge directly from our experiences over the last two years.

  From the disconnected letters to the science of letters: a meeting of knowledges in the Middle East

  In order to interpret the disconnected letters of the Qur’an (ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘a), Muslim thinkers have based their work on esoteric concepts, sometimes handed down from Antiquity, which have flourished in Islamic lands under the name of the science of letters (‘ilm al-ḥurūf). This international symposium aims to study the various representations of the mysterious letters within the wider framework of the science of letters, and to put them in perspective against similar readings from languages and cultures close to Arabic. Part of the symposium will be held in the historic citadel of Erbil in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, “the land of the two rivers”, the cradle of early writing.

  Intersecting Perspectives: Iconography, Archaeological Remains and Sociocultural Practices of the Ancient Human Societies

  This internationally oriented symposium offers the opportunity to focus on ancient societies for which textual sources are limited and for which iconography can play a major role in their understanding. The aim of this meeting is to highlight the possibilities and perspectives that the iconographic approach can provide but also to consider its limits in order to establish how and to what extent it is possible to use iconography, alone or related to archaeological remains, to clarify the understanding of sociocultural practices.

  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.

  Les français dans un monde multilingue : dynamique sociopolitique, usages et représentations

  French is the 5th most spoken language in the world. Sociolinguistic research on French establishes the existence of various uses of French depending on the context. The terminology on French variation varies between a meaning centered on the appropriation of French and on the different uses of French while integrating the concepts of young speakers. Numerous researches have noted the elements of language contact as well as the willingness of populations to use French for the teaching of local languages in a situation of school and other multilingualism. The present colloquium would like to ensure a continuity of the project and of the research on the variations of French in the classroom as well as in the standardized or endogenous uses. It would also like to update the data on the socio-political dynamics of French in Africa and in countries using languages other than French.
