  Urban Images in African Contexts

  In this special section, we seek to reimagine imagetic and urban practices and representations of the African continent, articulating two main fields, the visual and the urban. Here we want to reunite research that discouses discourses, imaginaries, representations, figurations, and politics about different African cities. Here we understand "images" in a broad sense, encompassing not only production and reproduction technologies, like photography and film but also virtual and digital, visual arts, and museum expositions. The purpose is not only to extend the debate over the field of the visual in different cities from an anthropological perspective. In this special section, we want to punctuate the implications of the imagens in a diversity of urban processes in the continent, emphasizing the plasticity of its forms and contents, its changes, its ambivalence, and opacity; beyond the debates about gender, agency, power, and resistance.

  Comics Aloud

  "Comicalités" Journal

  Comicalités invites contributions to a special collection about comics as sound objects. The collection will examine how comics can be adapted, remediated and/or transformed into aural works. Drawing on the rich history of audible comics and audio adaptations, we invite researchers from any academic field to explore the affordances and constraints sounds offer to the presentation of this ostensibly visual form. In doing so, we draw on the accounts of comics practitioners such as Jacques Martin and Dennis O’Neil, both of whom have emphasised the importance of sounds in the development of their creative practices.

  The Media and sexual and gender-based violence

  Informing, denouncing, raising awareness

  Ce colloque vise à interroger le rôle des médias dans la fabrication de l’information autour des violences sexistes et sexuelles (VSS) que nous entendons comme « une multiplicité de types d’actes coercitifs, non hiérarchisés, imposés par les hommes pour contrôler les femmes ainsi que toutes celles et ceux qui n’appartiennent pas au masculin hégémonique, et ce tout au long de leur vie ». Nous attendons des propositions émanant de différentes disciplines : sciences de l’information et de la communication, histoire, sociologie, sémiologie, droit, science politique, sciences du langage, et plus largement de toute démarche interdisciplinaire à même d’éclairer la production, la circulation et la réception des productions médiatiques portant sur les VSS.

  Under the Sign of Saxo. History, Identity and Nation in the History of the Danes

  In most European countries, the formation of national identity is a phenomenon whose birth is traditionally situated between the 18^th and 19^th centuries. This is also the case for Denmark where the loss of Norway in 1814 and the 1864 defeat to Prussia and its Austrian ally are of particular importance. The premises of this phenomenon are however already perceptible in the Middle Ages, the Gesta Danorum (The History of the Danes), occupying a primordial place in this respect. The symposium intends to study the constitution of a Danish national identity by focusing on Saxo and his work, albeit not exclusively.

  “The personal is geological”: feminisms and ecofeminisms in the Anthropocene

  Sextant - Journal of Interdisciplinary Research on Gender and Sexuality

  Sextant. Journal of interdisciplinary research on gender and sexuality, will dedicate a special issue n°41 (2024) to understand how the feminist political subject is led to be redefined in the Anthropocene. Ecofeminisms allow us to rethink the category of body as an instantiation of the environment and the rest of the living world, in order to inscribe it as a possible encorporation of earthly forces, i.e. of sexuality and reproduction as well as of more-than-human entanglements. The special issue will cross the stakes of an ecofeminist embodiment with the classic stakes of the body in feminism, namely the questions of sexual citizenship, reproduction and sexuality, but also of engaging queer, decolonial and intersectional feminisms to reread their bodily instantiations in order to open to other modalities of embodiment and subjectivation.

  Elite Mobility and Funerary Practices in Iron Age Europe

  Modern borders and language barriers are a huge hindrance in the field of Early Iron Age research. This conference will strive to overcome this by inviting specialists from Western and Central Europe and the British Isles to present research on elite graves found in their regions and consider a range of topics that contribute to our understanding of the rise of Early Iron Age elites throughout Northwest Europe and their large-scale networks.

  Seminar - History

  Empire and After: The Empire Strikes Back?

  Ce séminaire se propose de revisiter le fait colonial britannique tout en questionnant son influence et son empreinte sur les sociétés anciennement coloniales autant que sur la société britannique contemporaine dans une perspective politique, économique et sociale. L’Empire britannique y occupera une place centrale mais pas exclusive puisque les empires coloniaux constituent des ensembles composites et hétérogènes dont la spécificité ne peut être appréhendée que par la comparaison. L’Empire sera donc étudié au sens large pour inclure l’Empire formel et l’Empire informel, les territoires sous administration directe autant que les territoires sous administration indirecte, en passant par les simples réseaux d’influence à l’œuvre du XVIII^e siècle jusqu’à la décolonisation et au-delà, dans le contexte du Commonwealth.

  Crises in the Americas

  Revue « RITA » N°16

  Crises are generally understood as undesirable, unexpected and contingent situations. In this issue of RITA, we wish to question the production of these phenomena that are calledcrises, from “laissez-faire” to “negligence”; from the banalization of the crisis in media oracademic discourse to the enunciation processes of public authorities. In “times of crises”, theywill justify more directly the imposition of social, economic or even military measures.

  Impact and prospects of the Abu Dhabi declaration for the living together of Christians and Muslims

  While it is difficult to assess fully something that is still unfolding, PLURIEL 4th International Congress aims to provide a forum for the discussion and evaluation of the reception of the Document on Human Fraternity on the occasion of its 5th anniversary. What has been the impact so far of the Document on Human Fraternity concerning the coexistence of Christians and Muslims around the globe? As in previous editions, the Congress will bring together the perspectives of scholars of multiple disciplines. It will be organized according to three main areas of analysis, while allowing for overlaps: sociojuridical, geopolitical, theological-dialogical.

  The world of sports in the Americas and their political, cultural and social representations

  Amerika Journal n°25

  Sporting events mark the center of interest in the social life for many countries in the world. However, if we focus on the Americas, this importance is even more obvious. Sport becomes a reason for encounter, community, and connection. It brings out levels of interest and reinforces local, regional or beyond that, the game that is often unparalleled. Few people escape the passion that surrounds a country in the face of success in global competitions. This phenomenon, based on collective pride, pushes boundaries and includes even the most critical viewers. Can we consider this contradiction one of the keys to success?

  Artificial intelligence and artistic and literary creation

  International Conference on digital humanities n°2

  The aim of this conference is to pursue, starting from the heritage of humanism, as a movement and a current of thought stemming from the Renaissance, the uses of the digital in the process of redefining the Human and the Humanism. What is the place of the human being while confronted to the promised alterations and the technological and ecological challenges? How does the change induced by digital and computational models lead to a reconsideration of the individual and the collective, and open the way to new practices (from writing to reception) of literary and artistic works? What approaches do the disciplines of the humanities take and what can they ‘do’ in a sometimes blurred ecosystem? How do literary and artistic works establish new narratives, “shaken up” and modified by the irruption of technologies?

These tensions will have to be thought of in terms of contemporary art, long time periods and historicity.
