Surviving in and Through Arab World Art and Literature
Body, Memory and Affective Regimes
This volume explores the concept of survivance in contemporary Arab art and literature, focusing on how artistic and literary practices embody, sustain, and transmit memory, emotion, and affective experience. Survivance is approached here not merely as biological or material survival, but as the ongoing persistence, transformation, and circulation of cultural, emotional, and collective traces across generations—through practices that engage bodies, perception, and affective registers.

Global Cultural Expressions and Practices: Authenticity, Continuity and Reconfiguration
“Journal of Studies in Language, Culture, and Society” (JSLCS)
Cultural practices and expressions are critical to understanding societal transformations, identity formations, and the impacts of globalization. Dominant scholarly narratives have historically privileged Western epistemologies, often marginalizing other knowledge systems and practices. This special issue seeks to reposition the discourse by centering diverse global perspectives on cultural production, expression, and heritage. Contributions are invited that critically examine how notions of authenticity, continuity, and reconfiguration shape and are shaped by cultural practices in various global contexts. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches and empirically grounded studies that explore the interface between tradition and innovation in both local and transnational cultural dynamics.

The Refugee-Migrant Distinction: Toward a Global History
The aim of this international conference is to more fully elucidate the relational nature of the distinction between refugees and migrants, its function in the wider field of migration, and its genealogy. While chiefly historical in focus, the conference will also foster interdisciplinary approaches and reflections.

We propose this session to bring together researchers examining women’s craft practices and to deepen our understanding of their identities and agency through the materiality of these activities. Materiality is understood here as encompassing artefacts and gestures: thus tools, waste, but also workspaces, as well as traces on objects and traces on human remains (work-related illnesses, for example). The purpose of this session is to review the current state of research on this topic, share questions, difficulties, and advances.

Democracy at University: Voicing Choices
In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection. As a space for academic and civic education, for the transmission of knowledge and collective experimentation, it also constitutes a laboratory for democratic practices.

Au milieu du XXe siècle, en contexte de Guerre froide, divers pays envisagent le socialisme comme alternative à la domination coloniale. Dans le double contexte de Guerre froide et des décolonisations, le domaine culturel, et notamment les arts visuels (arts plastiques, photographie, cinéma, arts textiles, arts décoratifs, architecture), occupent une place particulièrement importante.

Political Theory in the Historical Sciences and Historical Theory in Political Science
An Interdisciplinary Encounter
Through this joint Call for Papers, “Geschichtstheorie am Werk” and “theorieblog”, two blog platforms designed to address basic theoretical questions of their disciplines (history and political science) for a wider audience, invite you to explore how and with what implications historical theory assumptions, historicity concepts and historical narratives have come about in political theory, and conversely ask what political and social-theoretical premises can be identified in academic historiography. Through this two-way observation, the blogs aim to shed light on certain implicit, unconscious or poorly reflected-upon elements of political thinking, historical research and historiography that exert considerable influence. They also hope to make disciplinary blind spots more visible and use the insights gained productively within and across disciplines.

Consolatio. Formes et enjeux de la consolation de l'Antiquité au 21e siècle
Aujourd’hui, la mission de consoler les personnes en souffrance est majoritairement dévolue à des professionnels du soin, des associations, quelquefois à la religion, le plus souvent aux exercices de développement personnel, dont certains se prétendent fondés sur l’enseignement des philosophes antiques. De fait, Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes pour modérer le chagrin suscité par les événements malheureux (décès, maladie, vieillesse, exil, injustice, etc.).

The Left’s Diverging Paths in the Green Transition
Since the 1970s, environmental constraints, shifting social values, and the crisis of post-war productivism have profoundly challenged the Western left. Once grounded in beliefs in scientific progress, technological innovations, and rising material prosperity, left-wing movements have increasingly been forced to confront planetary limits, rising inequality, and growing public ambivalence toward technoscience. These tensions have crystallised in contemporary debates on the Green Transition, where competing visions of abundance (growth-oriented technological optimism) and sufficiency (degrowth, sobriété, post-productivism) shape political and social antagonisms.
