Les enjeux et l’impératif du développement, de la promotion et de l’appropriation des études sino-africaines dans le contexte actuel de reconfiguration des relations internationales

China has become Africa’s leading trading partner, with an increasing presence in economic, cultural, and educational sectors, sparking debates and international rivalries. However, African research on Sino-African relations remains underdeveloped, lacking real synergy and institutional support. The 2024 FOCAC emphasized the need for a coherent African strategy and knowledge ownership to ensure a balanced engagement with China. The study aims to analyze the challenges of developing and promoting Sino-African studies, identify obstacles and opportunities, and propose forward-looking strategies. It targets researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in Sino-African cooperation. Articles (6,000 to 8,000 words) are expected by October 20, 2025, through the official website and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

« Turâb’26 » : Expériences de la matérialité de la construction en terre

Every handful of earth holds a story of "de-materiality," where the sensory philosophy of earth coexists with innovations and new technologies that push its technical limits in a desire to destigmatize it. Although durable and ecological, earth as a material faces cultural resistance tied to an image of precariousness, a perception fostered by modernity. Thus, in the context of alarming climate change, reinventing earthen construction has become urgent, if not necessary. This conference approaches research on earthen construction at the crossroads of poetics, engineering, and innovation. By highlighting earth architecture in Tunisia and around the world, it offers a transdisciplinary and resilient perspective on a universal material, putting its inextricably linked material and immaterial dimensions in tension.

Prefects in the Mediterranean, Mediterranean prefects? (19th-21st century)

Created in 1802 by Bonaparte, prefects remain a pillar of state-building in contemporary France. The symposium aims to paint a portrait of Mediterranean prefects in the contemporary era (19th-21st centuries), focusing on the following (non-exclusive) questions: What backgrounds do ‘Mediterranean’ administrative elites come from? What determines their success (or failure) in terms of their careers? Is there a culture, practice and professional identity specific to these Mediterranean prefects? How are the links between these prefects and local elites manifested?

Scholarship, prize and job offer - Sociology

Postdoctoral fellowship in Sociology of education

Two-year contract, full-time postdoc fellowship in sociology of education, within the framework of the ERC-Consolidator BildungLearning project n°101043433 (https://bildunglearning.be/). The main objective of this project is to compare the modern philosophy of Bildung and the contemporary paradigm of the Learning Society (LS) by systematically analyzing their homological structures. Through this comparison, we aim to expose the important conceptual mutations of the ideal of educational autonomy occurring from the first paradigm to the latter This research combines history of philosophy and political philosophy. Through an analysis of political-educational narratives, we want to examine if the great narratives of the philosophical modernity – such as emancipation through self-cultivation – have become totally obsolete or ineffective, or if and how far they continue to be operating in current discourses under critical and fragmented forms.

Numéro 2 de la revue « Odore »

Les odeurs, invisibles et difficiles à verbaliser (Jaquet, 2005), exercent pourtant un impact puissant, souvent implicite, sur notre relation aux autres. Elles peuvent exprimer l’intimité, marquer la distance, ou encore susciter le rejet ou l’attirance. Comme le souligne Le Breton (2019), les odeurs nuancent la valeur accordée à l’autre et façonnent nos émotions. Dans ce numéro de la Revue Odore, nous proposons d’explorer les liens entre les odeurs et le care, entendu ici dans sa dimension éthique, relationnelle et sociale.

Tele-Phonies: Listening at a Distance in the Arts and Auditory Cultures

Drawing from the hypothesis of an entanglement between auditory cultures, regimes of perception, and techniques of listening, the study day Tele-Phonies proposes to analyze the arts and cultures of listening through the plural notion of distance. The aim is to consider not only telephone and radio networks, but also a broader set of mediated practices of listening at a distance—within or on the margins of these networks—in order to grasp their impact on the sonic arts and auditory cultures.

Describing Creole Languages in the 19th Century: Ideology, Sociology, and Intertextuality

How do beliefs about Creole languages influence the their descriptions by 19^th-century creolists? This issue of Archipélies seeks to answer this question, focusing on the beliefs, representations, and, more broadly, ideologies that permeate descriptions of Creole languages from the documentation of Haitian Creole by Ducœurjoly in 1802 to the naturalistic portrayal of Creoles around the turn of the century1. Far from being reduced to simple nomenclatures, descriptions of Creole languages reproduce an ideological background that must be examined in order to better understand the gradual development of a linguistic discourse on the genesis and structures of Creole languages. As linguistic practices born out of colonial situations, forced contact, and historical ruptures, Creoles and their descriptions crystallize the ideological and conceptual divisions of coloniality, threatening its coherence and uniformity.

Thinking the Relationship to Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technologies: Powers, Resistances, Innovations

Emerging Practices in Technologies and Communication for Development

Digital technologies constitute a central factor in the transformation of contemporary societies, with artificial intelligence representing one of their most significant vectors. They simultaneously carry promises of innovation and participation, and act as vectors of dependency, exclusion, and renewed forms of domination. The aim is to explore the tensions that run through the imagination, uses and challenges of artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies, combining critical approaches, field studies and theoretical perspectives.
