Call for papers - Modern

Arts and Crafts in the Late Ottoman Empire

Rethinking Practices and Concepts of Material Culture in Syria and Beyond (18th - early 20th c.)

The conference Arts and Crafts in the Late Ottoman Empire aims to advance art historical and interdisciplinary research on practices and concepts of material culture in Ottoman lands between the 18^th and the early 20^th centuries. While inviting contributions on all geographies of the Empire, our call for papers foregrounds late Ottoman Syria as a case through which to expand the analytical and historical horizons of Islamic art and architecture studies and to contribute to broader debates in Ottoman and Arab historiographies of modernity. We encourage authors to consider the analytical frameworks—temporalities, epistemes, and materialities—that underpin the conference’s critical inquiry into the entangled modernities of Ottoman arts and crafts.

Seeing the Other Empire

British Travel Writing and Imperial Rivalry in Europe and the Near East, 1783–1914

This conference aims to interrogate some of these British visions of rival empires in narrations published between 1783 and 1914. It would be interesting to analyse the practice of imagined colonialism, that is, how the British travellers cast a domineering gaze upon their imperial rivals when travelling in lands that were not colonies of the British crown.

Conference, symposium - History

Invisible Actors in the Making of International Law (1750–2000)

This interdisciplinary conference invites graduate students and early career researchers to consider the genealogy of international law since 1750. It aims to identify new or unrecognised actors – including individuals, groups, and institutions as well as non-human agents – and their contributions to the practices, interpretations, and applications of international law. How did they establish or challenge norms, customs, and institutions? How were their practices, actions, and ideas shaped into law? The event aims to historicise the making of international law by bringing together junior scholars of history and law and to provide a forum for the exploration of new ideas and alternative perspectives, combining and building upon historical and social scientific approaches.

What Can BodyCultures Do?

Ontological Pluralism in Medicine and the Humanities

This conference asks whether the biomedical humanities can intervene in the very constitution of the phenomena they study. We propose to rethink the body as a relational entity shaped by biological, social, environmental, and existential assemblages—moving beyond traditional partitions (body/mind, nature/culture, biological/social) that structure contemporary medicine. These dichotomies, by assigning allegedly separate domains to different disciplines, obscure the fundamental entanglements that characterize embodied existence.

African Women Shaping the World

Activism, Networks and Connections (1920s-1970s)

This workshop, convened by an international group of scholars, aims to foster collaboration on this issue, with a focus on African pioneers of women’s movements and their global connections.

Learning, Teaching and Training: Realising Potential Throughout Life

Following on from the previous SIG 16 Metacognition and Self-regulated Learning conferences, the twelfth meeting is being held in Clermont-Ferrand, hosted by the University of Clermont Auvergne, on the theme of fostering metacognition and self-regulated learning at all ages and in different contexts. In the global climate of multiple uncertainties and crises of different origins, the SIG 16 conference will continue to encourage research aimed at understanding the individual and social conditions that favour metacognition and self-regulated learning. Developing these processes is both an objective in itself and a means to train individuals to become informed and better armed to face current societal risks: exclusion, attacks on democracy, environmental issues, and misinformation.

Heritage sensitive conservation policies

Sacred Forests and Spiritual Landscapes in the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot and Southeast Asia’s Terrestrial Ecoregions

The symposium offers a space to discuss a state-of-the-art overview of heritage-sensitive policies related to sacred forests and spiritual landscapes, with a focus on forest conservation practices based on Indigenous ecological ways of knowing and relating to forests. The seminar will explore the concept of indigeneity as a decolonial relational approach to forest dwellers that overcomes the rigid, top-down definition of who are Indigenous People and Local Communities (IPLCs). The seminar highlights recent advancements in interdisciplinary research, decolonial methodologies, political ecology analysis and ethical approaches to the conservation of sacred natural sites and spiritual landscapes.

Qualitative research: developing a psychology of and for world making

In the context of contemporary crises, whether political, ecological, health, social or economic, the world is undergoing radical transformation. Qualitative research is capable of both describing and understanding these upheavals ; however, it also, to a greater or lesser extent, participates in the transformation of the world. The current crises, and the profound transformations they are bringing about, therefore invite psychology to fully embrace qualitative research “of and for world-making”. In other words, it is vital to fully develop the potential for change offered by qualitative research to help us live in a more just and equitable world.

Comics and Machines

Rather than framing this transformation solely as a rupture, the conference seeks to situate it within a longer history of computational rationality— a lineage in which the medium has continuously negotiated the demands of efficiency, scalability, and technical constraint. Our aim is to critically rethink comics not as passive recipients of technological change, but as active computational configurations: media fundamentally entangled with systems of automation, standardization, and information processing.

Mirages de Byzance dans l’art en France (1821–1931)

Mirages of Byzantium across the Arts in France (1821–1931)

De 1821, année du déclenchement de la guerre d’indépendance grecque, à laquelle la France prit une part active et qui contribua à la redécouverte d’un patrimoine grec médiéval encore méconnu, à 1931, date de la première exposition internationale d’art byzantin à Paris, l’intérêt pour Byzance en France ne cessa de s’intensifier. Dans le dynamique contexte actuel de la redécouverte historiographique de Byzance, de ses collections et des approches élaborées aux XIX^e et XX^e siècles, ce colloque se propose d’examiner la réception de Byzance à travers les productions artistiques et leurs processus créatifs.
