Decolonial routes, knowledge, spaces and memories

Decolonial summer university SIRA (Savoirs, Idées, Réseau, Archives)

The symposium will critically examine what decolonization means and its implications in educational contexts. It seeks to challenge the power structures entrenched within academic institutions through a series of discussions that take place in spaces ranging from universities in the Global South to the Théodore Monod African Art Museum and the historic site of Gorée Island. These discussions aim to reconfigure the creative and resistant dynamics that continue to shape us. The connective movement between academic institutions and historically marginalized spaces—those imbued with histories of resistance—underscores the central thesis that “decolonization is not a metaphor.”

The World in Celebration

Economies of Renewal and Transformation

The "celebration" or post-crisis period is not merely a moment of festivity but an opportunity for tension release, reinvention, collective creativity, and the creation of new identities and relationships. This symposium proposes to examine how, from an economic and organizational perspective, societies reshape, rebuild, and find new avenues for transformation after times of crisis, both systemically and discursively.

Conference, symposium - America

Territory(ies) and Gender(s) in the Americas

This international colloquium explores the links between gender(s) and territory(ies) in the geographical space of the Americas — or Abya Yala — from pre-Hispanic times to the present day. The plurality of the Americas, whether linguistic, political, or cultural, requires intersecting perspectives and approaches. This colloquium offers a multi- and interdisciplinary dialogue drawing from anthropology, sociology, literature, history, geography, political science, archaeology, and arts. It analyzes the dynamics of gender and territory from decolonial and intersectional perspectives.

The far right on both sides of the Atlantic: circulation, influence and networks in the 21st century

“Amnis” journal

The next issue of Amnis wants to analyze the process with which the far-right parties have rebuilt and strengthened their position in European and American societies. It will focus notably on the constitution of networks, circulation of different resources, practices, methods and ideas, and, their impact on other organizations, movements, national and supranational entities, and on society as a whole.

Migration and Transmission

The transmission of scientific and academic knowledge on migration cannot be envisaged today without a plurality of research, socio-economic and civil society actors. This calls for a reflection on the ways in which research is carried out and presented in the light of the circulation of knowledge. It also raises the question of “transmission in migration”, i.e. everything that is transferred between different groups in society (migrants/descendants of migrants/non-migrants) at different levels. What are the legacies and discontinuities from a family and intergenerational perspective, from one migrant group to another, from one institutional practice to another? The aim is to examine the practices and uses, as well as the purposes, of the transmission of political, economic, cultural and social forms in “migrant worlds”.

The world in crisis(es)

Collection Société(s) : Langue(s) et culture(s) en dialogue

The word crisis, derived from the Greek word krisis, means judgment, decision. Conceptually speaking, “a crisis is an illness” (a conceptual metaphor justified diachronically by its etymological meaning of “the decisive phase of an illness”), or “it is a war”, if we focus on the meaning of “an outbreak with violent manifestations”. It is, therefore, a moment of major change. Our societies are plagued by successive and often overlapping crises, enabling them - if not forcing them - to evolve and transform themselves. The conference will focus on two parallel and complementary themes: “The economic crisis / The economy of the crisis” and “Discourse in a time of crisis”.

Improving the quality of working life

“Laboreal”, July 2025 edition

Over the last twenty years, there has been a proliferation of research and interventions whose purpose, in contrast to the strict profitability objective of ‘quality circles’, focuses on the quality of working life. They have often been designated by the acronym QWL. This designation authorizes a wide range of methodologies and actions and there have been proposals structured considering diagnoses and interventions that were based on the workers’ point of view and on what happens in reality at work situations. In these approaches, the tradition of activity ergonomics and work psychology once again demonstrate the wealth of methodological tools and intervention models. Laboreal invites researchers to present studies addressing this issue, in particular those that present detailed field experiences.

Migration to and through Nord Africa

L’objet de ce colloque international est de brosser un tableau qui se veut un rétrospectif général des sciences sociales et humaines, restituant et situant la question migratoire maghrébine et nord-africaine dans son contexte général en rapport avec la dimension européenne qui reste incontournable. Il est important d’actualiser les données concernant notre sujet en fonction des mutations géopolitiques récentes dans le monde contemporain et notamment dans la région maghrébine, pour pouvoir proposer des recommandations, des préconisations, et des pistes de réflexions cohérentes, pouvant faciliter les prises de décisions en termes de politiques publiques.

Insects, “bichos” and other “bugs” in the literature of the Americas (19th to 21st centuries)

“Amerika” n°29

This call aims to bring together works that question the representation of insects and other “bichos” in literature aimed primarily at young people, in the Americas. Scrutinized especially through the prism of European culture, the insect appears small, repugnant, sometimes useful (the bee), sometimes an example of tenacity and courage (the ant). What about its place in the American space? Do indigenous cultures deploy discourses and images referring to a unique relationship to the world of “bugs”, different from or linked to those of European cultures? How does the study of “bugs” allow us to deepen our knowledge of the relationship with nature in the Americas and to identify avenues for educational action based on works published for young people?

Hermeneutical Rationality and the Future of the Humanities

The set of challenges facing the Humanities today is an opportunity to rethink their future. This conference puts forward a twofold objective. On the one hand, it intends to explore the extent to which the hermeneutical paradigm of the Humanities (Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer, Ricœur, Taylor), which emphasizes the interpretive core of these disciplines and their contribution to human moral development can still provide meaningful answers to these challenges. On the other hand, it aims to intervene, in a reflective and critical manner, in the debates on the value, need and possible shape of the Humanities in the future.

Environmental philosophy

“Síntesis”, Philosophy Journal

“Is there a need for a new environmental ethic?” asks the article by the Australian philosopher Richard Routley. This statement, rooted in the inaugural reflections of Aldo Leopold in 1973, signifies the starting point of a new philosophical and moral exploration of the natural environment. This emerging field of applied ethics gains traction in social, political, legal, and international debates, compelling an increasing demand for philosophical insights. It challenges established relationships with the natural, material, cultural, and animal realms, prompting a call for a fundamental reconfiguration of our politics, institutions, justice systems, ethics, and our understanding of the subject. The primary object of this special issue is to spotlight the ongoing philosophical reflections on the environmental crisis prevalent in the Anthropocene society.

New Perspectives on Travel

Cultural Networks, Knowledge, Circulations, and Material Practices (19th and 20th Centuries)

In the last twenty years, there have been different approaches to the topic of travel from various disciplinary fields and perspectives. This symposium aims for a multidisciplinary approach to the topic of travel, understood as the deliberate movement of an individual through space, without being physically or psychologically forced or coerced. This symposium aims to be a space of dialogue and reflection about travel, its narratives, and its written and visual depictions. We aim to foster new approaches to travel understood in its specificity vis a vis the articulation of a disciplinary field (rather than its traditional understanding as a subsidiary object to other fields of study).

Middlemen in the work relationship in slave and post-slave societies from the 15th century to the present day

« Esclavages et Post-Esclavages / Slaveries and Post-Slaveries » Journal

This issue examines the long-term situation of Middlemen, both under slavery and in the post-slavery era. Enslaved themselves, overseers, and occasionally even recruiters of workers after the abolition of slavery, these intermediaries in the chain of command of coerced labor were essential to the smooth functioning of the slave and post-slave system. What role did they play? Were they agents of coercion or of worker protection?

Surrealism and the Americas: new historiographical perspectives

Thematic workshop of the bi-annual Congress of the Institut des Amériques

As we celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the first Surrealist Manifesto (1924), it is in fact appropriate to revisit this long historiographical tradition that considers this collective adventure as an exclusively French (if not Parisian) one, of the interwar period, centered around the charismatic figure of André Breton. By example of the Americas, we wish to propose a new theoretical definition of the movement in favour of its specific variations and manifestations in order to better question the very notions of centre, periphery, heritage or descendance and, in this way, bring to light the new actors of global Surrealism.

The electoral process in Cameroon as a political dynamic: Actors and Factors

Collective work

The electoral process in Cameroon is a complex political dynamic, characterized by challenges and controversies, but also by important issues in terms of legitimacy, legitimation and political legality and democracy. Objectifying this issue requires an in-depth analysis of electoral institutions (norms and organs), citizen participation, the challenges encountered and the political implications. The Cameroonian political-electoral process as a political dynamic therefore involves a multitude of factors and actors.

Conservation-restoration of embroidered textiles from the Renaissane to the 19th century

Technè, n°60, 2025-2

The study of embroidered textiles presents several points of interest: research may focus on the embroidery itself (materials, techniques, patterns), its supporting medium (nature, composition of materials, type of weaving), as well as the relationships between these two fields. We aim to identify topics of discussion by juxtaposing ancient texts with materials analysis; to present examples of the conservation of embroidered textiles with an emphasis on the choice of technical protocols; and to consider the difficult problem of exhibiting these rare and precious textiles.

Disunions. Church-initiated separation of couples in the Catholic world (12th c. - 21st c.)

"What God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mk 10:2-16). In certain circumstances, the Catholic Church may however exercise this right, usually at the request of one of the spouses, but sometimes on its own initiative. Although canon law does not recognize divorce, since the Middle Ages representatives of the Church have endeavored to bring about the separation of certain couples. All these unions have been considered by the Church to be in contradiction to canon law, ecclesiastical discipline, the definition of Christian marriage or Christian morality. Recent scholarship has enabled us to gain a better understanding of matrimonial separations initiated by the spouses in the Middle Ages and the Modern period. The objective of this workshop is to tackle a rarer case, one that has scarcely been addressed by historians to date: that of separations initiated by the Church.
