The Echo of Ancestors: The Reemergence and Claims of 'Ancient' Religions in Europe

This interdisciplinary workshop explores the revival of ancient religions in Europe, examining their resurgence, dissemination, institutional recognition, and sociopolitical impact. As non-monotheistic beliefs—polytheism, paganism, and animism—gain renewed interest and are increasingly leveraged in identity debates, this initiative brings together researchers from across Europe for a cross-disciplinary investigation of these evolving dynamics.

Language, end of life, death and bereavement: an interdisciplinary perspective

Workhop - Languages and Language at the Crossroads of Disciplines (LLcD) conference

The workshop aims to initiate an interdisciplinary discussion by convening linguists along with scholars from other disciplines with an interest in language, such as philosophy or psychology, who share a common interest in end-of-life, death and bereavement issues. It will be informed by the following research questions: what are the linguistic representations of death and end of life? What are the similarities and differences between healthcare practitioners, patients and (bereaved) relatives in terms of their representation of death and end of life? To what extent can health care practitioners’ communication practices impact the process of bereavement? What linguistic resources can be put in place to avoid the silence that surrounds death-related topics?

Everyday Poisons

The many faces of poison in Medieval and Early Modern Treatises

Poison was strongly present at all times in the daily life of the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age. It was used as a weapon, deliberately and otherwise, but it could be found in even the simplest actions, used with an awareness of its lethality but also of how useful and fundamental certain poisonous substances could actually be in art, medicine, or cosmetics. This workshop, therefore, intends to analyze all aspects of that dealt with poisonous elements, materials, plants or animals. This workshop focuses on treatises and recipe collections, which explain how to prepare pigments, binders or varnish, but also jams, syrups, or even beauty finds.

Capitals of Italy: Spaces and “identities” from the Sister republics to fascism

This interdisciplinary Summer School, part of the Spazidentità project supported by the École Française de Rome, explores the relationship between spatial dimensions and the construction of Italian identity from the nineteenth century to Fascism. Focusing on capital cities, it examines how urban spaces, monuments, and museums shaped and reflected national belonging. Through theoretical discussions, in situ case studies in Rome, and presentations by doctoral and post-doctoral researchers, the program investigates the role of space in political transformations, revolutionary movements, and ideological projections. Key themes include the impact of unification, Fascist urban planning, and the contested narratives of Italy’s capitals.

Haptic Trouble

Drawing on the polysemy of trouble in critical theory, this interdisciplinary conference proposes to interrogate the sense of touch as a site of sensory and social subversion, urging us to acknowledge the unresolved discontents of the haptic, to embrace its critical disturbances, and to test its emancipatory potentialities.

Mediated Masculinities in European networks: Discourse and performativity in the Information Age

The seminar aims to focus on mediated masculinities in Europe, as the American context has been discussed and described in much detail (McGlashan, Koller, Heritage, 2023). Contributions that cover masculinity performance and how masculinity is understood in varied European contexts are most welcome. We also invite papers that present a comparative approach to masculinity, investigating the similarities and differences between varying manifestations of Western (or European) masculinities.

Europe through the Arts

Entangled histories of culture and identity(ies)

Artistic expressions have long played a key role in shaping, challenging, and redefining the Idea of Europe. From Romantic depictions of a fragmented continent to contemporary visual narratives of crisis and transformation, the arts have provided a lens through which European identity is explored. This conference examines the intersection of art, art criticism, and European thought from the early nineteenth century to today, bringing together scholars from various disciplines to analyze how artistic engagement has influenced the continent’s cultural and political evolution.

The Sea Ends Here

In ancient Greece, the Strait of Gibraltar marked the end of the civilized world and human exploration evinced by its name Non plus ultra (nothing further beyond). With the strait as vantage point, the workshop The sea ends here explores ends and endings connected to movements in and across the Mediterranean and oceans. Where does a sea, a maritime route, a refugee’s journey, a political uprising, or toxic waste end? Can we draw lines in the water? What constitutes an end: a dream or a destination, a physical or man-made barrier, a closure or a new beginning? How do people set, enforce, and cross political and disciplinary boundaries in three-dimensional spaces? Where, when and how futures begin and end? And who grabs futures?

Who Owns Heritage?

Local Communities and the Fight for Historical Monuments in the 19th and 20th Centuries

What happens when those living alongside historical monuments – churchgoers, farmers, workers, custodians, local officials, non-human entities – see these sites as theirs? Through what sources and scholarly approaches can we recover their voices and their role in the state-led activities of restoration and preservation of architectural monuments? This conference explores the debates, conflicts and role of local communities in the heritage politics starting from the mid-19^thcentury and focusing especially but not exclusively on Central and Eastern Europe. It also seeks to understand the role of non-human actors, such as plants, animals, natural formations, weather and the different, more-than-human perspectives, they bring to the process of heritage making.

La Toison d’or, trophée pour des héros ambigus de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge

Si la quête argonautique et son dénouement tragique sont bien étudiés dans leur versant gréco-latin, leur devenir au Moyen Âge fait l’objet d’analyses moins nombreuses. Dans l’ensemble du corpus, l’imaginaire de la Toison d’or et les récits encadrant la quête argonautique restent aussi moins explorés. Phrixos, voué au sacrifice par son père Athamas, échappe à la mort grâce au bélier à la Toison d’or : l’animal mène le jeune homme en Colchide et prend symboliquement sa place sur l’autel. La Toison, dépouille sacrificielle, lui garantit pouvoir et fécondité. Une génération plus tard, Jason, parent de Phrixos, revendique ce trophée pour établir à son tour son royaume et sa lignée. Son mariage avec Médée assure temporairement sa victoire, mais la déloyauté du héros lui en ôte les fruits. Cette rencontre invite à replacer les deux héros dans leurs traditions parallèles et dans leur lien à ce trophée ambigu.

Education in Turkey: Actors and Practices

Education, both under the Ottoman Empire and in modern Turkey, has consistently been a highly politicized domain. It has served as a strategic tool for social engineering and the construction of national identity. Beyond evaluating reforms and persistent challenges, the aim of this conference is to provide a comprehensive overview of Turkey's current education landscape, and to explore structuring historical and contemporary issues. It invites multidisciplinary perspectives (history, social sciences, political sciences, educational studies) to examine the political conditions and effects of school institutions across primary, secondary, and higher education levels.

AFRILEX 2025

29th International Conference of the African Association for Lexicography

The aim of the African Association for Lexicography (AFRILEX) is the promotion and co-ordination of the research, study and teaching of lexicography by means of the publication of a journal and other appropriate literature, and the organization of regular conferences and seminars to provide an opportunity for an exchange of ideas and for mutual stimulus to researchers and practitioners in the field of lexicography. With the advent of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) that bring new challenges and new perspectives in knowledge production, knowledge dissemination and knowledge storage, there seems to be sufficient ground to reflect on the place and position of the field of lexicography in these new developments.Hence the conference theme: "The Role of Artificial Intelligence and Digitalisation in the Future of Lexicography".

Events, ruptures, durations

"Chiasmi International" journal n°27

This dossier will explore the various fields of Merleau-Ponty's thought in which his notions of event, rupture and duration are at work or can become fertile and operative. This means exploring not only Merleau-Ponty's work, but also the thought of other authors in the phenomenological tradition or the structuralist and post-structuralist currents. Finally, it means looking at contemporary philosophy and theoretical thinking, to understand how various traditions of thought in the humanities and social sciences are responding today to the challenges posed by events (from the events of 11 September 2001 to pandemics and global ecological issues) and how they thematise notions of duration and rupture in public and private life.
