The New History of the Age of Gunpowder in Asia

The aim of this issue of Bellica is to bring together articles exploring the new history of the “age of gunpowder” in Asia from the 10^th century to the present. By studying the origins, evolution, uses, and consequences of firearms in Asia over the last millennium, this collection of articles aims to highlight the recent opening-up of military history to the non-Western world, without denying the West’s importance.

Interculturality, Diversity and Inclusion

Contemporary Issues in Societies and Businesses in the Americas

L’objectif de cette rencontre est d’analyser l’interculturalité, la diversité et l’nclusion tant dans les sociétés que dans les entreprises de différents pays du continent américain. Il s’agit d’une activité qui comprendra des communications sur des pays tels que les États-Unis, Haïti, la Jamaïque, le Mexique, le Costa Rica, l’Équateur et l’Argentine. Outre le questionnement sur ces nouvelles et possibles instances inclusives, les différences culturelles, sociales et de genre ainsi que les transformations de la société dans de nombreux pays, ont conduit à une réflexion et à des propositions sur la possibilité de construire de nouvelles citoyennetés inclusives et diverses.

Zouglou: Music, politics and society

Musique urbaine née au début des années 1990 dans les cités universitaires d’Abidjan, le zouglou s’est imposé comme une forme d’expression artistique populaire et engagée, portée par une jeunesse ivoirienne en quête de reconnaissance, de justice et de dignité. Ce colloque international entend interroger le zouglou dans sa richesse multidimensionnelle : musicale, linguistique, politique, esthétique, sociologique et historique. Il s’inscrit dans une perspective interdisciplinaire et transversale, en croisant les apports des sciences humaines et sociales, de la musicologie, de la littérature, des arts du spectacle, de l’anthropologie, des études culturelles et politiques.

Transformations in political activities and careers in light of legal regulation and related instruments

Journal L'Année sociologique - special issue

Over the past thirty years, most European countries have adopted legislation designed to regulate political activities and the boundaries of professional politics. These laws have been introduced in response to societal demands, a lack of trust in representatives and institutions, and ’political crises’ and ’scandals’ involving elected officials. These laws and instruments contribute to the formation and governance of a group of political professionals. For example, instruments have been developed to support the ethical transformation of political spaces and the definition of good practices.

Religion in Societies: Multidisciplinary Approaches

The LLSETI (Laboratoire langages, littératures, sociétés, études transfrontalières et internationales) laboratory organizes its biennial study day dedicated to doctoral students, focusing in 2026 on “Societies and Religion.” This interdisciplinary event aims to combine approaches from literature, history, linguistics, philosophy, and social sciences to explore the multiple relationships between religion and society. Religion is considered in its diversity — institutions, beliefs, rituals, identities, relations to power, and secular forms — while also taking into account contemporary critiques of the concept itself. Proposals may address interactions between faith, society, culture, and politics, the construction of religious identities, or the ethical and moral dynamics arising from religious practice.

Intérieurs photographiques, entre mise en scène et documentation

Photographic interiors, between staging and documentation

From family pictures to police photographs and social surveys, the photographic documentation of private interiors often finds pictures in front of the lens. This conference aims to think through this mirror effect of photographed photographs, by consid- ering together images of domestic worlds and everyday image practices anchored in the dwelling.

How to teach gender in medicine and health?

Methodological issues and the challenge of interdisciplinarity

In the second half of the 20th century, the introduction of the concept of gender into the social sciences and humanities and into medical sciences restored complexity to the concept of sex, while producing ambivalent effects, notably thecreation of a sex/gender dyad and a divide between the biological and the social. The epistemological heterogeneity of concepts makes dialogue between health careprofessionals and between scientific disciplines difficult, reinforcing newstereotypes in research, clinical practice, and teaching. Interdisciplinary dialogue is necessary in order to teach healthcare professionals about gender and social inequalities in health. How can teaching practices be harmonized without establishing a truth regime about gender?

An ecological transition under strain: country, landscape, and uses in contemporary Germany

The starting point for this conference is the observation that the ecological transition in Germany, which one might have thought would be easier or at least more harmonious than in other countries due to the importance that environmental issues have had in German culture, society, and politics from very early on, is in fact encountering numerous obstacles and is even being called into question. This is evidenced, among other things, by the setbacks which the energy transition encounters and by the success of the party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) despite—or perhaps because of—its stance in favour of climate change denial.

Uses of the Past: Minority Experiences in Action in the Americas

Depuis le début du 21ème siècle, les Amériques connaissent un moment mémoriel particulièrement investi par les groupes dont l’histoire a été invisibilisée. Ils portent, dans l’espace public, contestations, demandes de reconnaissance, voire de réparation. Ce colloque engage une réflexion sur les usages du passé lorsqu’ils sont mobilisés par des membres de minorités ethnoraciales, qu’il s’agisse de contester une histoire nationale, de chercher à s’y inclure ou d’écrire une histoire de la minorité.

Material Life of The Displaced : Categories, belongings, solidarities (16th-20th centuries)

Revue « Diasporas. Circulations, Migrations, Histoire »

This thematic issue of Diasporas. Circulations, Migrations, Histoire. journal invites contributions examining how the material factors shaped the construction of identities, solidarities, and social hierarchies among displaced populations from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. By adopting an approach that encompasses migrants, refugees, and exiles, the issue seeks to explore the role of living conditions, work, housing and consumer practices in decisions regarding departure, settlement, and anchoring, as well as in processes of social mobility and demotion. Studying the history of displaced people through their material lives opens a dialogue on the role of economic factors not only in the categorizations imposed by authorities but also in the processes of self-identification and belonging developed by the displaced themselves.

Digitization of Scholarly Knowledge through the Prism of Research Practices

Memories, Uses and Critical Issues

This conference invites participants to examine the impact of digitizing scholarly literature on research practices and the memory of scholarship. Beyond issues of access, digitization entails epistemological, documentary, and political choices that shape the circulation and appropriation of knowledge. Discussions will revolve around three main themes: the institutional and epistemological stakes of digitizing scholarly heritage, the practices and tools employed in ongoing projects, and the conditions for the valorization and reuse of digitized resources.

Rite et économie : l’épaisseur matérielle des rituels

Rituality and Economy: The Material Thickness of Rituals

In the social sciences, the study of rituals has long been the prerogative of sociology and anthropology of religions, which have studied their role in the production of meaning and in relation to the notion of symbolic efficacy. The field of “ritual studies” has broadened this area of research by focusing on secular or religious, initiatory or syncretic rituals. The economic dimension of rituals has been a central subject of analysis since the beginnings of social and cultural anthropology. Economic anthropology, combined with ritual studies, offers us a promising framework for deepening these questions. We wish to go beyond the classical opposition between the economic and the symbolic to focus on objects, bodies, and places and their ritual as well as economic involvement.

Precarious housing in the Global South

Public interventions and residents' expériences

This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity

Journal Espaces et Sociétés No. 200

Local government service budgets have continued to be cut, exacerbating the social and environmental vulnerabilities that municipalities now have to manage with limited resources. The purpose of this dossier is to focus on the spatial dimension of the continuance and evolution of public goods in a context of austerity. In particular, we encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experiments and bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. The goal is to give space to studies that investigate the relationship between austerity, public goods and care practices.

Call for papers - Law

Legitimacy of Legal Decisions Adopted Under Radical Uncertainties

The conference will focus on the theme “The Legitimacy of Legal Decisions Adopted in a Context of Radical Uncertainty”. It seeks to explore the mechanisms through which law is legitimized when decision-makers must act under conditions of profound uncertainty—be it scientific, political, economic, or social. In a context of multiple crises (climatic, health, security, technological, etc.), the aim is to question the law’s capacity to produce decisions perceived as legitimate, and to examine the conditions under which such recognition can be achieved.
