    Entangled Histories: Borders and Cultural Encounters from the Medieval to the Contemporary Era

    Online Seminar Series (2025-2026)

    This interdisciplinary seminar series explores borders not as fixed lines, but as dynamic spaces of interaction and cultural creativity. Spanning from the Middle Ages to the present, the series examines geographical, linguistic, and symbolic boundaries through the lenses of history, media studies, and literature. After successful sessions on medieval riddles, Jesuit translations, and transpacific borders, the upcoming program features experts discussing decolonization, cartography, and migration.

    Between Eagles and Dragons

    Identity Negotiation and Ethnic Diversity in the Ancient World

    The conference Between Eagles and Dragons: Identity Negotiation and Ethnic Diversity in the Ancient World explores the processes through which ethnic identities were constructed, contested, and transformed across multi-ethnic societies of ancient Eurasia. Bringing into dialogue regions from the Mediterranean to India and China, the event aims to investigate how institutions, cultural practices, languages, and historical narratives shaped categories of belonging and otherness. By adopting a comparative and interdisciplinary perspective, the conference seeks to highlight the fluid, dynamic, and historically contingent nature of identity formation in the ancient world.

    In her own words

    the many forms in which women played with writing between the Middle Ages and the early modern period

    The organisers of the workshop propose an occasion for reflection and dialogue on the literary and non-literary works of women authors from the Middle Ages to the 18th century, with the intention of welcoming original and unpublished papers that can contribute to enriching current knowledge and advance research on the themes, modes and forms of women's writing. There will be a focus on lesser-known figures and contributions related to the activity of as yet not-famous women.

    Useful Gardens

    The history and structure of gardens hold endless surprises and fascinating connections withother disciplines. Originally created as a natural but immutable place offering protection andshelter, gardens have evolved from the hortus conclusus to a place of fantastic architecture,celebrations and wonder. Despite the aesthetic development that was added to the symbolic oneof the medieval tradition, the garden never completely lost its medicinal and practical function,featuring areas dedicated to fruit trees, greenhouses reserved for exotic crops or plants whosemedicinal or dyeing properties were well known

    Galant Eroticism and Its Markets (1650-1720)

    This conference aims to explore the emergence, from the second half of the seventeenth century onward in France, of a new market for eroticism, linked to the development of the galanterie, understood here as an ideal of sociability grounded in values such as refinement, playfulness, and equality between the sexes. Drawing on a wide range of media – whether texts, images, engravings, or music – participants will be invited not only to question the renewed representations that characterize this new eroticism, but also to examine its conditions of production, circulation, and reception, in France and, more broadly, on a European scale.

    Animal Behaviour and Environments: Ecological Perspectives from Antiquity to the Present

    This conference aims, through a resolutely interdisciplinary approach, to explore the relations between animals and their environments. Bringing together scholars in ancient and medieval philology, the history of zoological knowledge, and contemporary ecological sciences, the event seeks to examine how living beings interact with their surroundings—and how these interactions have been conceptualised, described, and modelled from Antiquity to the present. Two main thematic axes will structure the discussion: 1. Animals and Environments: Ancient and Modern Ecologies; 2. Animal Ecological Awareness: Perception, Umwelt, and Narrative Models

    The concept of attention

    Attention constitutes one of the most fundamental yet under-theorized dimensions of human experience. Despite its centrality to perception, cognition, action, and intersubjectivity, the philosophical investigation of attention as a concept in its own right remains surprisingly underdeveloped. This international conference represents the first major initiative of a four-year research program (2025-2029) dedicated to establishing the philosophy of attention as a major field of contemporary philosophical inquiry.

    Surviving in and Through Arab World Art and Literature

    Body, Memory and Affective Regimes

    This volume explores the concept of survivance in contemporary Arab art and literature, focusing on how artistic and literary practices embody, sustain, and transmit memory, emotion, and affective experience. Survivance is approached here not merely as biological or material survival, but as the ongoing persistence, transformation, and circulation of cultural, emotional, and collective traces across generations—through practices that engage bodies, perception, and affective registers.

    Global Cultural Expressions and Practices: Authenticity, Continuity and Reconfiguration

    “Journal of Studies in Language, Culture, and Society” (JSLCS)

    Cultural practices and expressions are critical to understanding societal transformations, identity formations, and the impacts of globalization. Dominant scholarly narratives have historically privileged Western epistemologies, often marginalizing other knowledge systems and practices. This special issue seeks to reposition the discourse by centering diverse global perspectives on cultural production, expression, and heritage. Contributions are invited that critically examine how notions of authenticity, continuity, and reconfiguration shape and are shaped by cultural practices in various global contexts. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches and empirically grounded studies that explore the interface between tradition and innovation in both local and transnational cultural dynamics.
