  Heritage dynamics in the urban peripheries

  Heritage and the Metropolis

  Metropolitan cities are well understood to be in the course of constant change. The city’s edges push ever outward into the suburbs or the hinterland. Heritage, on the other hand, certainly in the guide of preservation is often constructed as resistance to change; and yet is not static. The call is aimed at researchers interested in the relationship between heritage and the metropolis, between heritage preservation and urbanisation, in different geographical contexts. We want to compare situations observed in the North and South, in formerly industrialised and non-industrialised regions, in very active metropolises and others in decline.

  Understanding and reconverting tertiary vacancy

  The vacancy of tertiary buildings is a growing issue in urban and regional dynamics. While vacant offices are a visible symptom of economic, social and environmental mutations, they also represent an opportunity to rethink the role of business districts and the uses of the city as a whole. The aim is to analyse tertiary vacancy in France and Europe for identifying the potential for converting unoccupied buildings, whether into housing or other functions: coliving, hotels, industrial or commercial activities, data centres, living labs, collaborative spaces, etc.

  Operative Imagination. Material, Technological, Political Trajectories

  Chiasmi International. Contemporary Phenomenology and Merleau-Ponty Studies, n. 28 / 2026

  The regime of digital media has brought about a saturation of images and normalised access to virtual worlds, now integrated into our everyday practices, while technological devices generate or intensify new forms of visual colonisation through strategies of attention capture, acting upon the normativity of bodies and discourses. The special section “Operative Imagination” welcomes perspectives that develop from his philosophy or dialogue with it, to explore the historical transformations of the imagination, image and imaginary. This orientation reflects the renewed editorial direction of Chiasmi International, which, beginning with issue 25, has extended its scope to embrace the broader phenomenological field and to cultivate dialogue between Merleau-Ponty’s work and major strands of contemporary philosophy and critical thought.

  Beyond the “Degas Dilemma”

  Dance-Sculpture Encounters in Francophone Contexts, Past and Present

  This special issue of H-France Salon aims to broaden our understanding of the intricate patterns of interconnection and mutual exchange between the arts of dance and sculpture. The “Degas dilemma,” is whereby the (female) dancer passively serves as the (male) sculptor’s “muse.” Rather than reducing the relationship between these arts to mere illustration or representation, interventions should consider the range of ways that each responded to the other, and address how such encounters between artistic media illuminate, inform, or amplify hierarchies of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, and culture.

  Pragmatics and Social Justice in Africa

  Although social justice is still a desire in most global communities, it is a more serious concern in Africa where multiple social, economic and political obstacles wrapped in ideological realities undermine the right for social justice. Thus, a pragmatic approach, with a multidisciplinary dimension, enhances the understanding of social justice, and its interfaces with issues of identities, ethnicity, sociality, culture, ecology and power dynamics. This 4th conference of the African Pragmatics Association seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and critical thinking on the intricate and multidimensional relationship between pragmatics and social justice in Africa.

  Artificial Intelligence (AI), Free Software, and Open-Source tools are redefining the landscape of knowledge production, teaching, and learning in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). These technologies carry the promise of educational equity, linguistic justice, and collaborative knowledge-making—but they also pose critical questions about bias, access, cultural sovereignty, and epistemic inclusion. This special issue of ATRAS Journal invites educators, researchers, curriculum developers, and digital humanists to reflect on the transformative role of open digital technologies in teaching and learning, and to examine how AI and digital commons can support just, inclusive, and pluralistic knowledge systems.
