    Political Objects on the Move. For a Material History of Politics in the Long 19th Century

    Special issue of the journal “Contemporanea. Rivista di storia dell’800 e del ’900”

    This special issue of Contemporanea aims to reflect on the mobility of political material culture, analysing how its circulation and transformation, both physical and symbolic in time and space, generated connections between contexts and movements, disseminated and popularised images and imagination, and redefined and influenced political sensibilities and practices during the long 19th century.

    The Speech Bubble, Between Text and Image

    This one-day symposium aims at showing the full complexity of the speech bubble, an object that has been largely neglected by research until now, and that cannot be defined solely as ‘the curve surrounding the words spoken by comic strip characters’ (Trésor de la langue française). Based on the observation that the speech bubble often also contains images and even blank spaces, and that its forms and functions vary according to the objects, periods and geographical areas in which it is present, the papers presented during this symposium propose to analyse the complex relation between speech bubble, text and image in a number of visual sources objects drawn from Japanese corpora or indirectly linked to Japan.

    Manga in Every Sense

    As we all know, manga is all about seeing. But it also requires the reader to hear with their ears, smell with their nose, tongue and skin. It engages all five senses, and not only sight as is often believed. How are these sensations conveyed to the reader in manga? What roles do images, text, narration and onomatopoeia play? These are just some of the questions this symposium aims to address.

  • Seminar - Thought

    Philosophy and the National Question

    Taking as its starting point the idea of ​​“philosophical nationalism” proposed by Jacques Derrida, this seminar aims to question the way in which different national and nationalist discourses have accompanied both the construction of modern philosophical historiography and the development of comparative or intercultural philosophy. The division of the world into “philosophical nations” still constitutes today the starting point of any comparative effort and leads to making the “dialogue between traditions” a discourse tending to legitimize national ideologies.

    Permanent call for submissions

    Práticas da História is an open-access, bi-annual online academic journal, and it is looking to publish original articles, bibliographical essays, interviews, and book reviews on the subject matters of historical theory, historiography, methodology, and the uses of the past.

    Liberté(s) dans la littérature d’expression française : représentations, limites et enjeux

    Revue « Romanica Silesiana » vol 28 (no 2/2025)

    Étant donné la riche ampleur sémantique et conceptuelle de la notion de liberté, ce numéro de la revue Romanica Silesiana propose examiner le thème de la liberté dans plusieurs perspectives. La liberté peut concerner le processus de création pendant lequel l’écrivain se confronte aux différentes contraintes. C’est également le lecteur qui a une relation particulière avec la liberté car il peut participer activement à la construction de l’œuvre, tant au niveau formel qu’interprétatif. Aussi la liberté en tant que conception artistique prend-elle différentes formes de représentation dans l’œuvre littéraire, basant principalement sur la dynamique entre l’enfermement et la libération, l’opprimé et le révolté.

    Contemporary Arts, The Urbanocene & The More than Human World

    This workshop seeks to explore the radical strategies employed by contemporary artists as they navigate the Urbanocene, transforming urban public spaces into dynamic arenas for introspection, advocacy, and resilience. It aims to question whether these artistic interventions, with their catalytic potential, can effectively mobilize urban communities and foster a sense of symbiosis with the broader environment.  It will critically analyze the various modalities through which artistic forms function as channels for ecological discourse. The discussion will focus on their role in advocating for radical ecological thinking, fostering multispecies coexistence, promoting biodiversity preservation, and advancing the pursuit of climate justice.

    Exploring the Autonomy of Cities

    Philosophical, Legal, and Policy Dimensions

    We seek contributions that explore the conditions under which cities should be granted autonomy, the implications of autonomy for equality, and the challenges specific to cities in navigating their relationship with regional, national, and global governance systems. The aim is to foster a robust dialogue on whether autonomy (and in which form? which constitutional status?) is the appropriate framework for empowering cities or if alternative approaches, such as empowerment through subsidiarity, are better suited to achieving justice and effective governance.

    Maps in American Literature, 15th–21st Century

    This symposium seeks to uncover these often overlooked influences, examining how specific maps have shaped both the form and content of American literature. By “maps,” we refer here to cartographic documents of real-world spaces, focusing specifically on those that exist outside or alongside the texts themselves —whether preexisting maps that writers engaged with or maps produced for or after publication. This excludes maps of fictional spaces such as Sherwood Anderson’s map of Winesburg, Ohio, or Faulkner’s map of Yoknapatawpha County.
