Reading and picking up texts. The excerption signs and their form, uses and purposes (6th-12th centuries)

By bringing together historians, philologists, paleographers and codicologists, this conference aims to reflect on a category of annotations visible in texts preserved in medieval Latin manuscripts through case studies: excerption marks or extraction marks. Isolating portions of texts for later re-use, these marks, composed of an initial and a final sign and written by readers, are indicative of the preparation of intellectual undertakings. The aim is to provide an initial overview of excerption practices (typology, uses, distribution, etc.) over several centuries (6th-12th c.).

Between philosophy and psychoanalysis: the image

Le développement contemporain d’une civilisation de l’image compris comme développement d’une civilisation de la technique, prend une signification toute particulière aujourd’hui, alors que l’essor des technologies numériques et maintenant de l’intelligence artificielle donne au simulacre consistance matérielle et technique, et réciproquement à l’image une dimension virtuelle, voire spectrale, décisive. Qu’entend-on alors exactement par image ? La notion même de civilisation de l’image, du point de vue de l’analyse des médias et des intermédialités, comme du point de vue psychanalytique de l’analyse du sujet et de son rapport au monde, comme dans la prise en compte phénoménologique de l’empreinte que le monde laisse en nous, suppose que l’image aurait pris la place de quelque chose, ou aurait occupé un territoire qui ne lui était pasprimitivement dévolu. C’est cette place, ce territoire, que ce numéro de la revue Rubriques se propose d’aborder.

The constrained image

The place, form and function of iconography in the decorative and precious arts

The design of an objet d'art is marked by the constant search for a balance between functionality and materiality, structure and decoration. Its initial utilitarian dimension - which is its raison d'être - proves to be a limiting factor, as the symbolic discourse that we wish to attribute to it, developed through iconography and ornamentation, comes up against the technical realities of its construction. At first glance, the visualisation of an iconographic theme is constrained by the shape of the object it adorns. Thought to be an impediment to creation, this form logically condemns the object to being no more than a conventional presence, a reference model endlessly repeated from one work to the next. The aim of this study day is to explore the place of iconography in the decorative and precious arts, insofar as it must conform to the structural imperatives of the object it decorates.

Africanity on the move

Ce colloque tente de mettre en lumière de nouvelles lectures relatives au phénomène migratoire en Afrique, ses enjeux économique, socioculturel et politique en s’appuyant sur l'analyse des médias, la littérature, les documents historiques, le cinéma…. L’objectif est d’interroger la question migratoire dans toute sa complexité, ainsi que la vulnérabilité de la personne migrante, eu égard à sa stigmatisation et aux différentes visions dévalorisantes et/ou valorisantes à son sujet, des discours et des images qui demeurent polémiques et pourraient engendrer des dérapages et des glissements sémantiques, constituant ainsi l’objet d’étude de chercheurs appartenant à différents champs disciplinaires.

The Americans in the western Mediterranean (1942-1945)

Landings, liberation and the "pax americana"

The objective of this meeting is to refocus the history of landings and subsequent military liberation operations in the Western Mediterranean, between 1942 and 1945, from an American perspective. Indeed, from Operation Torch in North Africa to the landing in Provence in August 1944 and the final battles in Italy in the spring of 1945, the United States asserted their decisions over the British within the coalition. Furthermore, the arrival of thousands of American soldiers, coupled with the installation of dozens of military bases in North Africa, Italy, Southern France, and Corsica, was accompanied by the establishment of various administrative structures by the United States to ensure a return to order and to set up a kind of "Pax Americana" according to their own interests. The interactions of these soldiers with the local populations sometimes lead to tensions. The aim, from a comparative perspective, is to go beyond the simple military dimension and broaden the study of this theater of operations to include political, economic, social, and cultural fields.

The New Political Powers of Cinema. Comparative Approaches and The Historicity of Contemporary Practices

“L’Année du Maghreb” Journal, research dossier 33, 2025

The aim of this special issue is to bring together different perspectives and approaches, in order to understand how contemporary films produced in Maghreb reflect or anticipate the social changes underway. It also looks at the extent to which the filmmakers of this new generation are breaking with classical Maghreb cinema, while at the same time taking part in a continuous line of avant-garde practices in Maghreb, from explorations of popular traditions, to the porosity between fiction and documentary, or the introduction of new techniques (editing, light camera, etc.). The purpose of this issue is to highlight this continuity, both diachronically within the region and synchronically, through a comparative approach with practices and films from the rest of the world.

Disasters, sociological questions

Revue « L'Année sociologique » numéro 75-2

This call for papers aims to contribute to the updating and renewal of sociological reflections on Disasters, as sociological questions. By inviting the presentation of cutting-edge research in the journal founded by Emile Durkheim, this special issue of L’Année sociologique aims to contribute to an effort to structure sociological research on disasters: disasters have become a common social experience; what can the sociology of disasters tell us today? Proposals for contributions may relate to contemporary or past events. In all cases, they should be based on solid empirical material, whatever the methodology chosen (qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods). Particular attention will be paid to their ability to operationalize contemporary issues in the sociology of disasters, articulating empirical elements with theoretical reflection.

Empathy for the Evil

Social Science and the Empathy Dilemma

Attempts to understand actions we consider appalling raise many issues. Are we supposed to identify with perpetrators in order to provide an account of their behavior? By so doing, aren’t we exposed to the risk of undermining our deepest moral commitments? And what exactly does this identification consists in? Does it require that we empathize? Or must we find a way of exploiting our imaginative resources? These are major concerns, especially for social scientists investigating topics such as extremism, terrorism, domination etc. The aim of the conference is to examine these moral and epistemic issues and to scrutinize them in light of current theories of understanding. Accordingly, all papers addressing empathy, broadly construed, and questioning the endeavours to explain, in a way or another, acts we consider especially evil and despicable will be welcome.

Memory of the heritage in evolving and changing context and future challenges

The last several decades have witnessed that memory of heritage has been on top of scientific research, reflection and interpretation and has marked increase in research in relation to cultural heritage, memory and change, and to transformation within the field of heritage studies. It is considered to be the heritage of tangible and intangible heritage assets of a group or society that is inherited from past generations, which has been reconstructed in present to make it accessible and beneficial to new generations. Therefore, memory of heritage is an interdisciplinary instrument that plays a significant role in shaping a sense of identity and a source of inspiration for creativity and innovation, but it is also can be a reason of exclusion, or even hostage to political conflicts and ideological debates.

The new lives of Greek divinities in Western Europe: Textual and visual figurations from the 14th to the 16th century

In his famous work, La survivance des dieux antiques, published in 1939, Jean Seznec demonstrated that knowledge of the Greek gods did not disappear during the Middle Ages, and thus challenged the opposition often drawn between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: “Pagan antiquity, far from being ‘reborn’ in 15th-century Italy, survived in medieval culture and art; the gods themselves were not resurrected, for they had never disappeared from the memory and imagination of men. Based on case studies on one or more divinities, the workshops will be devoted to analyses of the multiplicity of representations, interpretations, and uses of these ancient divinities over the three centuries under consideration, by combining permanence and renewal, repetition and variation, continuity and innovation.

Arts and crafts & Design : Dialogues and Prospects

Art and crafts in discussion with design provide food for thought on the challenges facing these sectors today. Design can be a lever for thinking about the adaptation of arts and crafts in a changing ecosystem. It is then confronted with the problems faced by the crafts in terms of sustainability, durability, digitalisation and education, among others.This conference “Dialogues & Prospects, arts and crafts & design” aims to examine these two disciplines on the principle of convergence around the notion of creation, and based on the principle of cross-fertilisation of unique methods and our own thinking tools.
