Turin
This panel explores the interaction between legal norms, sovereignty formation, and geopolitical dynamics in nineteenth-century Latin America. During this period, new republics faced the simultaneous challenges of consolidating internal authority and projecting it outward in a rapidly shifting international environment. Legal norms—constitutional, civil, penal, administrative, and consular—became key instruments through which states defined their international position and negotiated their place within an emerging hemispheric order.

Arts and Media Archaeology Summer School 2026
Living Histories
The Summer School will focus on the interplay between media developments and performative culture, spanning from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Through lectures, artist talks, re-enactments and interactive hands-on experimentation, the summer school programme aims to foster students’ ability to think through media by questioning their materiality, sensory properties, and its role as a historical source.

Fabulous beasts and where to read them
Animals in Byzantine fables, proverbs, and dreambooks
Studies on animals in the Byzantine world are gaining considerable momentum. An increasing number of scholars are exploring and reconstructing zoobiographies through the lens of Byzantine literature. Yet a significant corpus of texts—often unjustly relegated to the category of minora—remains underexplored, despite teeming with animal life. In fables, popular tales, proverb collections, school manuals, rhetorical treatises, and dreambooks, animals play important roles : they drive narrative plots, embody moral and social agency, and serve as crucial vehicles for cultural meaning.

Sculpture and Trompe l'oeil in European Ceramics, from Bernard Palissy to the Present Day
The conference, dedicated to European ceramics, aims to address issues relating to figurative sculpture in the round, to relief sculpture and to trompe l'oeil, all in the medium of ceramics. This includes the imitation of other materials, such as wood or precious stones, and the mimetic representation of animals and plants. Sculpture and trompe l'oeil are recurring themes but have been little studied in a comprehensive manner in European ceramic art, not even in Art Deco ceramics, which frequently use sculptural forms, both in tableware and in purely decorative pieces.

Final International Conference of the Horizon Europe Project RESPONSIVE
This international conference explores the question of how democracy can be enhanced within Europe’s social sector. It asks how citizens can shape the work of social services and what innovations can improve the responsiveness of practitioners, services, and policymakers to input from citizens using social services. In particular, the conference aims to highlight solutions that have been co-created by citizen groups and social services to promote inclusiveness, reduce inequalities in civic participation and widen the diversity of citizen voices at different stages of social service delivery or social policy-making processes.

Comrade Consumer: Shopping, Style, and Desire on Socialist Screens
To many casual viewers, socialist cinema from Central Europe and the Soviet Union rarely evokes images of beauty parlors, leisurely shopping, or browsing exotic groceries—let alone consumer abundance and hired domestic help. Yet throughout the relatively “liberal” 1960s, the murky 1970s, and the tentative promise of the 1980s, nationalized film and television studios in the Polish People’s Republic, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR frequently returned to shopping as pastime, leisure, and aspiration, constructing surprisingly layered images of consumption under socialism.

Quarries and rock-cut sites through the lens of archaeology
The two-day conference, organised by the IRAAR group, will take place at the University of Edinburgh (UK). This conference explores the multifaceted relationships between humans and stone through an archaeological lens on quarrying, rock-cut architecture/site, and rock art. By addressing challenges of extraction, technological adaptation, and symbolic and practical engagements with rock, as well as heritage and recent research, the event fosters interdisciplinary dialogue on the transformation of rocky landscapes across time and space.

Towards more professionalized esports practices?
For the first joint conference organized between Montpellier University and HSB-VNU, we decided to dig into conditions of professionalization and sustainability of esports. In particular, the objective is to gather pieces of work from several different disciplines in order to explore the interests, the limitations and tensions that are connected to the professional structuration of esports. This conference therefore aims to provide a global and critical approach by questioning both the practices of esports stakeholders and the methods mobilized by scholars.

Domesticating Irish nature : past and contemporary approaches and practices
This international colloquium held in Grenoble, combining workshops, roundtables in addition to thematic panels, therefore also invites contributions that explore the representations at stake when the environmental history and prospective future of Ireland are involved. This exploration may be achieved through the intersecting lenses of ecocide, resource exploitation, and ecological resistance or use of nature as a place allowing for an escape from the usual modern globalized ultraliberal capitalistic rat race. We seek interdisciplinary interventions—historical, literary, legal, political, ecological, artistic—that investigate how nature in Ireland has been used, abused, and reclaimed in the face of economic pressures and environmental degradation.

“Woman Journal” Vol. 8
After examining our “fast life” and the rampant consumerism of our capitalist society, we would like to return to the subject of nature and its culture. What defines nature? Is it solely a resource to be consumed?

The Outskirts of Socialist Societies: The Unfit, the Liminal, the Marginal
“History of Communism in Europe” journal, no. 17/2026
This special issue of History of Communism in Europe seeks to explore these paradoxes of marginality under socialist regimes. We invite contributions that examine how marginal, liminal, and unfit groups or individuals were constructed, controlled, resisted, and reimagined across different socialist contexts. By focusing on the outskirts of socialist societies, we aim to advance comparative insights into the dynamics of inclusion and exclusion, domination and resistance, conformity and transgression.

In-betweenness: interdisciplinary perspectives on Irish culture
This conference explores the notion of in-betweenness as a defining feature of Irish culture, history, and artistic expression. Bringing together interdisciplinary perspectives from literature, history, linguistics, and the arts, it examines how liminality, hybridity, and transitional identities shape Ireland’s past, present and future. By investigating the thresholds between languages, traditions, territories, and narratives, the event aims to foster dialogue across disciplines and highlight the creative, political, and cultural dynamics of Irish in-betweenness.

Private developers in urban heritage contexts and ecosystems
A high degree of complexity, be it in terms of governance or actors’ diversity in local contexts, characterises heritage development projects, which increasingly rely on private interventions or public-private partnerships. In this context, the interplay between public and private interventions becomes a critical arena for research. Tensions, negotiations and innovations increasingly shape heritage development while highlighting the challenges and opportunities of the intervention of private actors in the revitalisation of urban heritage – particularly in contexts where heritage is commodified as a comparative advantage for rehabilitation projects. The main objective of this conference, which specifically focuses on the role of private actors in heritage urban contexts (UNESCO World Heritage sites, conservation areas, historic centres, etc.), is to explore the relationships and dynamics established between “heritage entrepreneurs” and other urban stakeholders in diverse heritage contexts as a means to shed light on how these combined actions produce heritage today.
