Interspecies interactions in the (visual) arts (1550-1914). Collaborations, experimentations, oppositions

This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. The analysis of artistic practices allows for questioning the nature of the bond between humans and other animals, and examining how, in certain works, the animal can be perceived as a protagonist capable of resisting attempts at reification. Rather than being a mere reflection of power relations between humans and animals, artistic creation thus becomes a site of negotiation, even contestation, of these relationships.

Social Histories and Sociologies of the Military Uniform

The workshop aims to study and discuss selected issues related to the history of the modern military uniform. Uniforms are an important research area of military historians and an object of interest of numerous enthusiasts, including non-academic authors and researchers. Despite a large number of publications about army clothing, only a few of them employ the social perspective or deal with the cultural meaning of uniforms. Therefore, we would like to bring attention to those understudied research areas of military history, historical anthropology and sociology.

The Pen, the Place, and the Pact: Literature, Heritage, and Diplomacy in the Baltic and Nordic Regions

The 16th Annual International Conference on Baltic and Nordic Studies seeks to explore the dynamic interplay between literature, heritage, and diplomacy in the Baltic and Nordic regions. Taking place at the Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu, this conference invites scholars, senior and junior researchers, doctoral students, and practitioners to delve into the profound connections between cultural expression, historical legacies, and diplomatic relations that have shaped the shared and distinct identities of these regions. We invite submissions addressing the intersection of Literature, Heritage, and Diplomacy in the Baltic and Nordic contexts. The conference will explore how these fields intersect and influence one another, shaping the cultural, political, and historical landscapes of the region.

Decolonizing comparison

Trans-Indigenous readings of contemporary literature from Canada and the rest of the Americas

The aim of this international workshop on contemporary Indigenous literatures and literary practices in Canada and the rest of the Americas is twofold. Firstly, it lies in exploring the (potential or already existing) implications and applications of the trans-Indigenous comparative methodology proposed by Chadwick Allen in his book Trans-Indigenous: Methodologies for Global Native Literary Studies. The second aim of this workshop is to create a space in which the growing number of researchers in Indigenous studies (including doctoral and postdoctoral researchers), both Indigenous and non-Indigenous, can share their knowledge and reflect together on the possibility of contributing to the development and the consolidation of this field through the collective construction of a critical practice of trans-American Indigenous literary studies research.

Working Group on ‘Risk, Health, and State Socialism: Central and Eastern Europe, 1950s-1980s’

While much of this historiography has focused on liberal democracies, less attention has been given to how concepts of risk operated in state socialist contexts. Building on recent studies in the history of medicine and health, we invite scholars to join a working group examining risk, health, and medicine under state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe. To what extent did state socialist regimes recognize certain health and medical issues as ‘governable’ through risk? What kinds of practices and ideas emerged in response? And were there differences or similarities between state socialist and liberal democratic models of risk in healthcare and medicine? Our aim is to take an exploratory approach to discuss whether, and in what contexts, the concept of risk can be applied to state socialism, and to examine the risk-related practices, ideas, and technologies observed in healthcare and medicine in state socialism.

Ciak… Action, and History!

Section of “Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea” Journal

“Ciak… Action, and History !” is a section of the Open Access journal Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea. The section publishes contributions investigating the relationship between history and audiovisual materials and archives and welcomes interdisciplinary approaches. The use of audiovisual materials allow historians to enrich the possible array of primary and secondary sources. Moreover, audiovisual sources are also active agents able to affect the perception of specific events, collective imaginaries, public memories, and group identity. Also from pedagogical and outreaching perspectives, audiovisual media are gaining momentum. We are interested in articles exploring interactions between history and audiovisual products.

The Family as a Model of Social Protection and Health Care

Insights and Experiences from the Countries of the South

This inter-disciplinary congress aims to approach, analyze and discuss the major roles of the family in the production of social protection and health care in the countries of the south in light of the forms of resistance and resilience that the family institution has produced in the light of the effects of néolibéralisme, which pushes a set of values, roles and family ties towards disintegration, disappearance and redefinition. Taking into account the socio-demographic, economic, value and pathological transitions... etc. that have given rise to new family forms and structures, critical scientific thinking within the view of the social sciences becomes a fundamental epistemic requirement, especially when it emerges from the heart of the daily life of families, and questions their problems and aspirations.

Religions and Acts of Violence

Special issue of “Violence: An international journal”

Where are we in the study of religions and acts of violence? Much of the literature on religions today has focused on modern Islamic movements, yet here, with the spread of several groups in various contemporary religious traditions, we have a full-scale landscape cases studies in the field of religions and acts of violence. It is the reason why Violence: An international journal is launching this call for papers, proposing some leads, which are obviously not exhaustive, neither focusing on contemporary manifestations of these types of violence.

Alchemy between Science and Magic

Arcana Naturae n° 7

For its seventh issue (scheduled for release in 2026), Arcana Naturae (Agorà & Co) will be looking at the “black legend” of alchemy and its intersections with the history of magic and science. Initially regarded as a “sacred art”, then for a time as a legitimate scientific pursuit, alchemy has nonetheless become synonymous with demonic practices in the collective imagination. How can such a turnaround be explained? When did it start, who were its instigators (whether voluntary or involuntary), and what were its consequences?

Inventing traditions in a dis:connected world. Self-Fashioning and nation-building in the age of Empire 1860s – 1960s

The conference intends to examine the relation between nation-building, scholarly research, and class from a global historical perspective. It aims for exploring the possibilities of how to write the history of ‘imagined communities’ (Anderson 1983) or ‘invention of traditions’ (Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983) after the global turn. Moreover, it aims for linking these concepts to those of ‘the denial of coevalness’ (Fabian 1983) and ‘futures past’ (Koselleck 1983), The conference will thus discuss the pathways, power struggles, and (re-)negotiations of nation-building and similar forms of community-fashioning in different world regions.

Historical Epistemology: Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices

Ten years ago, the Research Network on the History and Methods of Historical Epistemology, EpistHist, began in Paris with its inaugural workshop on épistémologie historique. These workshops have turned into an annual opportunity to discuss key issues in the history and philosophy of sciences and engage in contemporary methodological debates. This anniversary workshop will focus on the topic of Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices. Here, we aim to explore which approaches within historical epistemology are most suitable for investigating the production of knowledge and practices related to the psyche. We welcome proposals exploring the relationship between scientific inquiries producing knowledge and the technical development of psychotherapeutic practices.

Things Unsaid, Things Unwritten during the English Restoration (1660-1714)

Aussi conventionnelle qu’oxymorique, l'expression de « non-dit » remet en question la binarité supposée entre parole et silence. L’expression thématise à la fois une absence, un manque (de mots), et porte néanmoins en elle la trace manifeste d’une présence. Du moins pour qui sait la déchiffrer. Car le silence du non-dit est, en réalité, une invitation : à comprendre, à deviner, à faire accoucher un sens qui ne veut, ou ne peut pas se dire. Le non-dit porte en lui la trace d’un effacement, mais aussi d'une résistance obstinée. Le non-dit est un silence qui dit quelque chose. Comment repérer les signes d'un silence qui n'en est pas un ? Comment reconstruire avec certitude un discours absent ? Ce projet prolonge la réflexion lancée à l'occasion du colloque « Consentir, refuser, céder : Spectres de la conquête à la Restauration (1660-1714) ». Il a pour vocation de constituer un groupe informel d'étude interdisciplinaire sur la Restauration.

Among Empires. Transimperial circulation of political models and scientific knowledge

The case of four “latecomers” (Germany, Italy, Belgium and Japan), 1880s-1940s

We seek original contributions that, through the lens of the politics of comparison, focus on four “latecomer empires,” namely Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Japan that started their colonial expansion at the end of the nineteenth century. In these countries and their colonies and protectorates, heated debates took place around the search for (historical or current foreign) models, and politicians, activists, and intellectuals often demanded the transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge, be it legal, political, or scientific. In particular, we are interested in two distinct yet bordering fields: models of colonial policies from a global perspective and transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge in scientific fields such as medicine, agronomy, anthropology, legal culture, etc.
