    Intimate Colonies: Family Memories of Colonial Africa in Belgium and Switzerland - Postdoctoral fellowship in Brussels

    Le projet Intimate Colonies (IC) place la dimension intime et familiale de la question coloniale au cœur de son analyse, dans le but d’apporter des éclairages originaux sur les significations et les enjeux des héritages et des mémoires coloniales dans les sociétés européennes contemporaines. Le projet se distingue des travaux existants en réunissant, au sein d’un même cadre analytique, les mémoires coloniales des familles issues des sociétés colonisées et de celles associées aux sociétés colonisatrices, reflétant ainsi la réalité multiculturelle des sociétés européennes partagées par ces populations, plutôt que d’aborder un seul versant de ce système relationnel.

    Visualizing Archaeology

    Constraints and Sources of Innovation in Research

    The visualization of archaeological results can clarify, while at the same time also obscure ; walking the line of simplification for public consumption, disagreements or misunderstandings among experts and color codes/omissions can blur the lines of where exactly uncertainty lies. Yet these constraints stimulate invention, participation, and new data. Sharing research findings with a general audience may result in oversimplification, while visualizing 3D models or other visual aids can lead to misunderstandings among experts. The limitations of visualization, such as colour coding, the omission of details, and inadequate information can lead to overanalysis, obscure uncertainty or skew tentative conclusions.

    Cinema Left Undone: A Secret History of Central European and Soviet Films (1920-1990)

    The international and interdisciplinary seminar seeks to explore the phenomenon of film scripts that were left undone. Sessions will focus on film projects whose screenplays have been preserved in archival collections but for which no footage was ever produced.

    In/Visible

    The 2026 NECS Conference will tackle the processes through which invisibilization occurs, from pre-cinematographic apparatuses to contemporary screen and media industries, and how these dynamics concretely affect today’s professional landscapes. It will also consider how resisting and alternative spaces continue to redefine what can be seen, by whom, under what conditions, and how the gradual inclusion of new media and the reinvention of old ones have expanded – or restricted – the horizons of visibility.

    The Artificial Intelligence Turn in Contemporary Historiography: Challenges, Applications, Reflections

    History – Theory – Criticism Journal, Special Issue 2/2026

    This special issue explores the Artificial Intelligence turn in contemporary historiography and its implications for historical knowledge, method, and ethics. Artificial intelligence reshapes core principles of the historian’s craft, from authorship and interpretation to verification and critical engagement with evidence. We invite contributions that examine how large language models and algorithmic infrastructures transform epistemic practices, reproduce or disrupt bias, challenge human interpretive agency, and alter conditions of education and scholarly labor. The issue seeks both critical reflections and methodological innovations addressing this rapidly evolving intellectual landscape.

    The Multiple and the One Assemblages and Decompositions in Medieval Texts and Images

    Ce colloque souhaite interroger les modalités selon lesquelles le Moyen Âge a pensé, articulé et transformé le rapport entre multiplicité et unité. Les pratiques des auteurs, des scribes, des artistes, des commanditaires et des publics s’inscrivent dans un champ où la mise en forme du savoir, de la mémoire et de l’art passe constamment par des opérations d’assemblage, de sélection et de hiérarchisation. Nous réfléchirons à cette problématiques selon une perspective foncièrement interdisciplinaire.
