    From Revolution to Exile: Arab Diaspora Politics in a Post-2011 Context

    The American sociologist, Roger Brubaker critiques the overuse of "diaspora" as a static concept, likening it instead to a fluid "category of practice, project, claim and stance." Furthermore, the literature recognizes diasporas primarily as transnational communities with multiple societal affiliations and identities. However, recent political upheavals, like the 2010-2011 Arab uprisings, have thrust Middle Eastern and North African diasporas into new contentious and repressive dynamics, highlighting their changing roles and challenges, often referred to as the "Diaspora Spring". The proposed one-day international conference aims to delve into these complexities, focusing on empirical case studies from the MENA region post-2011 to explore innovative political roles and strategies developed by diasporas in navigating their multifaceted identities and engagements in a post-uprising world.

    Interactions interespèces dans les arts visuels (1550-1914). Collaborations, expérimentations, oppositions

    Ce colloque propose d’étudier la façon dont les artistes ont non seulement observé les animaux, ont vécu avec eux pour certains, mais leur ont également parfois attribué une agentivité. L’idée d’une relation active entre l’artiste et l’animal soulève des questions fondamentales sur le rôle des bêtes dans la production artistique. L’analyse des pratiques artistiques permet de questionner la nature du lien entre humains et non-humains, et de voir comment, dans certaines œuvres, l’animal peut être perçu comme un protagoniste capable de résister aux tentatives de réification. Loin d'être un simple reflet des rapports de pouvoir entre humains et animaux, la création artistique devient ainsi un lieu de négociation, voire de contestation, de ces rapports.

    Social Histories and Sociologies of the Military Uniform

    The workshop aims to study and discuss selected issues related to the history of the modern military uniform. Uniforms are an important research area of military historians and an object of interest of numerous enthusiasts, including non-academic authors and researchers. Despite a large number of publications about army clothing, only a few of them employ the social perspective or deal with the cultural meaning of uniforms. Therefore, we would like to bring attention to those understudied research areas of military history, historical anthropology and sociology.

    Decolonizing comparison

    Trans-Indigenous readings of contemporary literature from Canada and the rest of the Americas

    The aim of this international workshop on contemporary Indigenous literatures and literary practices in Canada and the rest of the Americas is twofold. Firstly, it lies in exploring the (potential or already existing) implications and applications of the trans-Indigenous comparative methodology proposed by Chadwick Allen in his book Trans-Indigenous: Methodologies for Global Native Literary Studies. The second aim of this workshop is to create a space in which the growing number of researchers in Indigenous studies (including doctoral and postdoctoral researchers), both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, can share their knowledge and reflect together on the possibility of contributing to the development and the consolidation of this field through the collective construction of a critical practice of trans-American Indigenous literary studies research.

    Working Group on ‘Risk, Health, and State Socialism: Central and Eastern Europe, 1950s-1980s’

    While much of this historiography has focused on liberal democracies, less attention has been given to how concepts of risk operated in state socialist contexts. Building on recent studies in the history of medicine and health, we invite scholars to join a working group examining risk, health, and medicine under state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe. To what extent did state socialist regimes recognize certain health and medical issues as ‘governable’ through risk? What kinds of practices and ideas emerged in response? And were there differences or similarities between state socialist and liberal democratic models of risk in healthcare and medicine? Our aim is to take an exploratory approach to discuss whether, and in what contexts, the concept of risk can be applied to state socialism, and to examine the risk-related practices, ideas, and technologies observed in healthcare and medicine in state socialism.

    Ciak… Action, and History!

    Section of “Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea” Journal

    “Ciak… Action, and History !” is a section of the Open Access journal Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea. The section publishes contributions investigating the relationship between history and audiovisual materials and archives and welcomes interdisciplinary approaches. The use of audiovisual materials allow historians to enrich the possible array of primary and secondary sources. Moreover, audiovisual sources are also active agents able to affect the perception of specific events, collective imaginaries, public memories, and group identity. Also from pedagogical and outreaching perspectives, audiovisual media are gaining momentum. We are interested in articles exploring interactions between history and audiovisual products.

    La famille comme modèle de protection sociale et de soins de santé

    Perspectives et expériences des pays du Sud

    Ce congrès interdisciplinaire vise à aborder, analyser et discuter les fonctions de la famille dans la production de la protection sociale et dans les soins de santé dans les pays du Sud. Ceci en prenant en considération les formes de résistance et de résilience que l'institution familiale a produite face aux effets du néolibéralisme. En effet, ce dernier a dévalorisé certaines valeurs de solidarité, de rôles sociaux et de liens familiaux, et constitue une vraie menace pour leur pérennité. Face aux transitions socio-démographiques, économiques, épidémiologiques et pathologiques ayant donné naissance à de nouvelles formes et structures familiales, la pensée scientifique critique, à travers le prisme des sciences sociales, devient une exigence épistémique fondamentale, surtout lorsqu'elle touche le cœur de la vie quotidienne des familles, et interroge leurs vécus et leurs aspirations.

    Religions and Acts of Violence

    Special issue of “Violence: An international journal”

    Where are we in the study of religions and acts of violence? Much of the literature on religions today has focused on modern Islamic movements, yet here, with the spread of several groups in various contemporary religious traditions, we have a full-scale landscape cases studies in the field of religions and acts of violence. It is the reason why Violence: An international journal is launching this call for papers, proposing some leads, which are obviously not exhaustive, neither focusing on contemporary manifestations of these types of violence.

    Alchemy between Science and Magic

    Arcana Naturae n° 7

    For its seventh issue (scheduled for release in 2026), Arcana Naturae (Agorà & Co) will be looking at the “black legend” of alchemy and its intersections with the history of magic and science. Initially regarded as a “sacred art”, then for a time as a legitimate scientific pursuit, alchemy has nonetheless become synonymous with demonic practices in the collective imagination. How can such a turnaround be explained? When did it start, who were its instigators (whether voluntary or involuntary), and what were its consequences?

    Inventing traditions in a dis:connected world. Self-Fashioning and nation-building in the age of Empire 1860s – 1960s

    The conference intends to examine the relation between nation-building, scholarly research, and class from a global historical perspective. It aims for exploring the possibilities of how to write the history of ‘imagined communities’ (Anderson 1983) or ‘invention of traditions’ (Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983) after the global turn. Moreover, it aims for linking these concepts to those of ‘the denial of coevalness’ (Fabian 1983) and ‘futures past’ (Koselleck 1983), The conference will thus discuss the pathways, power struggles, and (re-)negotiations of nation-building and similar forms of community-fashioning in different world regions.

    Historical Epistemology: Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices

    Ten years ago, the Research Network on the History and Methods of Historical Epistemology, EpistHist, began in Paris with its inaugural workshop on épistémologie historique. These workshops have turned into an annual opportunity to discuss key issues in the history and philosophy of sciences and engage in contemporary methodological debates. This anniversary workshop will focus on the topic of Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices. Here, we aim to explore which approaches within historical epistemology are most suitable for investigating the production of knowledge and practices related to the psyche. We welcome proposals exploring the relationship between scientific inquiries producing knowledge and the technical development of psychotherapeutic practices.

    Le non-dit à la Restauration anglaise (1660-1714)

    Aussi conventionnelle qu’oxymorique, l'expression de « non-dit » remet en question la binarité supposée entre parole et silence. L’expression thématise à la fois une absence, un manque (de mots), et porte néanmoins en elle la trace manifeste d’une présence. Du moins pour qui sait la déchiffrer. Car le silence du non-dit est, en réalité, une invitation : à comprendre, à deviner, à faire accoucher un sens qui ne veut, ou ne peut pas se dire. Le non-dit porte en lui la trace d’un effacement, mais aussi d'une résistance obstinée. Le non-dit est un silence qui dit quelque chose. Comment repérer les signes d'un silence qui n'en est pas un ? Comment reconstruire avec certitude un discours absent ? Ce projet prolonge la réflexion lancée à l'occasion du colloque « Consentir, refuser, céder : Spectres de la conquête à la Restauration (1660-1714) ». Il a pour vocation de constituer un groupe informel d'étude interdisciplinaire sur la Restauration.
