Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology

Corps et graphies

Revue « Parcours anthropologiques »

This issue of Parcours Anthropologiques calls upon researchers in a wider sense (who define themselves as theorists and/or practitioners), from various areas and disciplines, in and beyond the social sciences. We invite contributions that privilege reflection on “new” “graphies”, with particular attention to the concrete and sense-oriented dimensions of experience and to the dialogue between what is experienced, what is thought and techniques that are mobilized. This issue is an opportunity to draw an initial state of the art of works and reflection on that topic and to engage in diverse exploration of ways that open up to the sensorial, practical and theoretical stakes of a “Corps&Graphies” project.

After the Yalta by Piotrowski

Questioning Europe in the History of Art and Architecture

En 2009 paraissait la version anglaise de Yalta : Art et avant-garde en Europe de l'Est. Avec cet ouvrage de Piotr Piotrowski l’histoire de l’art de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle s’ouvrait sur un nouvel horizon géographique et franchissait le mur de Berlin. La parution récente de la version française aux Presses du Réel prolonge ces questionnements géographiques et rebat les cartes de la hiérarchie des acteurs dans l’histoire de l’art, de la transitivité des méthodes entre les périodes et des liens entre art et politique. La rencontre sera l'occasion de discuter avec le public de l’actualité de ces questions et de la réception de l’œuvre de Piotr Piotrowski (1952–2015) dans les historiographies de différentes langues.

Studying Demands for State

From Practical Tensions to Generalised Crises

This study day intends to interrogate the notion of “demand for state” in different fields and from different social sciences disciplines such as sociology, history and political sciences. By “demand for State” we mean the process by which social groups come to invoke a certain ideal of the state through criticism, demands and reflexive practices. We will pay attention to the different levels at which these demands for State become manifest, in order to open up some major areas of discussion: how to overcome the 'civil society/State' opposition, the emergence of demands for a social State in different historical and national contexts, or the place of demands for State in generalised crises.

The Invention of Greek origins in the textual and visual cultures of pre-modern Europe (1100-1600)

Ces journées d’études envisagent d’explorer les emplois, les fonctions et les finalités des discours sur les origines grecques et la polysémie de ce concept entre 1100 à 1600, dans les cultures textuelles, visuelles et matérielles européennes, autour des questions suivantes : comment la notion d’origine /d’origines est-elle alors pensée par les auteurs et les artistes ? Qu’est-ce qui à la fois l’unit et la distingue de l’héritage ? Pourquoi les Grecs ? Quelle(s) Grèce(s) sont pensées comme des origines ? De qui et de quoi sont ces origines ? Quelles modalités de représentation et quels processus d’appropriation apparaissent ? Dans quels buts et pour quels publics ?

Circuits et matérialités de l’entraide à l’égard des diasporas religieuses dans l’Europe moderne (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles)

The materiality of giving. Networks and practices of solidarity towards religious diasporas in early modern Europe (17th-18th centuries)

Qu´est-ce que donner, de son temps, de son argent ou de ses biens, veut dire, au XVII^e et au XVIII^e siècles, pour ceux qui aident les minorités religieuses, catholiques, protestantes et juives, en situation diasporique ? Dans les dispositifs de solidarité mis en place en Europe à cet effet, comment se déploient, concrètement, les circuits de l’entraide ? Du (très) local au transnational, du donneur au receveur, en passant par toute une gamme d´intermédiaires et d´instances de collecte, contrôle et redistribution des secours, comment et avec quoi recueillir, recenser, acheminer et dispenser l’ensemble des biens matériels ou des flux financiers ? C´est la question de la matérialité de l’entraide, de ses pratiques et de ses circuits destinés à alimenter une économie solidaire, non pas pensée comme universelle mais comme communautaire, que nous aimerions interroger ici.

Foreign Consulates and Consular Agents in France in the 20th Century

The presence of embassies, consulates and other foreign diplomatic representations in France is a relatively undocumented subject, particularly in contemporary history, although it lies at the crossroads of the history of diplomacy and international relations, economic history and the history of immigration. This call for papers aims to generate contributions for the second year of our webinar, intending to continue the exploration and unravelling of French international and diplomatic history 'from below' in the 20^th century.

Conference, symposium - Early modern

The landscape at its margins

Classée hiérarchiquement après la peinture d’histoire, le portrait et la scène de genre par André Félibien dans la préface des Conférences de l’Académie, la peinture de paysage n’en demeure pas moins un art apprécié des collectionneurs et des amateurs. Discutée dans les traités, tels ceux de Roger de Piles, Jean-Baptiste Du Bos ou Charles Batteux, la peinture de paysage occupe une part croissante dans la critique d’art au XVIII^e siècle : dans son Salon de 1767, Diderot décrit longuement l’expérience totale qu’il vit en regardant les tableaux de paysage de Vernet. Ce colloque investiguera la notion de paysage aux XVII^e et XVIII^e siècles.

“Voces”. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words

Expressing and Performing Emotions

The conference cycle “Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words” aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an important role in the medieval culture. Every two year we propose to focus on a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions. This year’s edition will focus on Expressing and Performing Emotions.

Les femmes dans les processus de paix et de sécurité en Afrique

From the Women’s Decade instituted by the UN between 1975 and 1985 to the Beijing Conference in 1995 to its evaluation in 2005 at the Beijing +10 meeting in New York, the gender issue has taken an increasingly important place in international meetings on human development. While gender equality is still a topical issue, the debate is shifting towards the role of women in pre- and post-conflict situations, particularly in conflict prevention, mediation, negotiation and resolution. This call for contributions aims to understand the reasons for the absence of women in the decision-making spheres of conflict prevention, mediation and resolution. Moreover, the final objective is to propose solutions for an increased representation of women in these mechanisms.

From the Grand Tour to Orient-Express: curiosity, exploration, sociability

In this colloquium, we propose to study how the travelers crossing the Balkans and the Eastern Mediterranean, between the “Grand Tour en Orient” and the Orient-Express, were able to apprehend these countries, their inhabitants, and their past. Our aim is to explore the social representations of travelers, as well as those of the populations they visited. Without limiting ourselves to reproducing the classic schemes for understanding these discourses, indebted to Edward Saïd, we shall historicize, contextualize and define these ambivalent perceptions according to the geopolitical considerations, ideological orientations, and personal affinities of those who produced these discourses.

Memory and identity in the English-speaking world since 1945 : transdisciplinary perspectives on the margins and the mainstream

The aim of this Study day is to examine the dynamics, interactions and tensions between the polysemic notions of margin and mainstream in post-1945 English-speaking areas. More specifically, we will examine the modalities and dynamics of exchange and movement from one category to the other, as well as the way in which they take on their meaning in varied and variable political, media, sociological and cultural contexts. Proposals may thus highlight thematic issues in relation to the phenomena studied, such as marginalised or militant histories, critical or methodological thoughts about mediation mechanisms, conceptualisation issues or personal and collective positioning.

La valeur des vivants dans l’Occident médiéval (Ve-XVe siècle)

In the framework of a study day, we propose to reflect on the values accorded to living beings (humans and animals) in the medieval West from the 5th to the 15th century. They are characterised by their market, utilitarian and symbolic value. In addition to this, there are the considerations and knowledge that medieval people had of their fellow human beings and their environment (fauna and trees). Finally, the event proposes to look at these questions in the context of reflections on medievalism. As the issues are diverse, we are making the whole range of humanities and social sciences disciplines.

Making Ecocinema. Ecological Politics and Processes of Experimental Cinema

The hypothesis of this two-day conference is to investigate the fabrication of experimental film from the perspective of an “active ecology”, the ways of acting and transforming the world that accompany experimental filmmakers’ creative gestures : political and social ecologies, ecologies of technique, and processual ecology. The question could therefore be summarized in dialectical form : in what way does the awakening of an ecological consciousness affect and transform the experiences and processes of experimental film making ? In turn, in what way do experimental and artisanal approaches to cinematic creation reshape our relationship with the living and call for a new ecological consciousness ? Ecopolitics and creative processes will therefore be explored in their multiple interweavings.

Inertia: “plus ça change...”

This conference will tackle the different facets of the concept of inertia through a transversal and pluridisciplinary approach. A cross-geographical and cross-cultural approach is encouraged. In a society that values change and innovation, inertia is still very present. Political and legal institutions either have to face it or use it actively and strategically. Social movements understand that well as they are using inertia to promote their demands. Inertia can also be a manifestation of a desire of stability, of deliberately not acting in an attempt to stop time. Museums might be an example of that; cultural spaces need to face these contradictions. A rhetoric of inertia can then develop, on a political, legal, social or cultural level. This discourse can be contested or used to promote change or permanence, in a a state of constant and dynamic tension.

Symbioses, transdisciplinary prospects

The study of the interdisciplinary notion of symbiosis has become a subject of reflection on biological identity, its becoming within the symbiotic relationship with an associated environment (biotic, abiotic, social) and on the nature and diversity of symbiotic relationships. Using transdisciplinarity as a method, the idea is therefore to reflect, across different disciplines, on the definitions of symbioses in living organisms and their heuristic, symbolic and even metaphorical dimensions and on the nature and temporality of symbiotic relationships between living organisms, including with our germs.

« Perspective » n° 2024-2

The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2024 – 2 issue, the thematic “extreme bodies”. Our aim is to shed light on the ways images participate in the creation of the body, the spread of a standard and the constraints applied to that body in order to achieve the standard, but also the ways images sometimes serve to subvert them. It is thus in terms of the standardised body, considered more as a model or goal to be attained than as the aurea mediocritas (Horace, Odes, II, X, 5), the incarnation of the middle ground remote from excesses, that we would like to address questions related to extreme bodies.

Bildung. The Untimely Actuality of a Modern Idea

Dans le cadre du projet ERC Consolidator Grant BildungLearning (n° 101043433), le colloque intitulé « Bildung. L’actualité intempestive d’une idée moderne » se consacrera à un double travail de reconstruction historico-systématique de la philosophie moderne de la Bildung et de mise à l’épreuve de sa pertinence actuelle, grâce à la participation de spécialistes de la philosophie classique allemande qui chercheront à mettre en évidence non seulement la fonction systématique du concept de Bildung, mais aussi sa réception critique, sa postérité indirecte et ses ressources encore inexploitées pour la pensée contemporaine.
