Call for papers - Political studies

Backlash politics and sustainable development in Latin America

Special issue of the “Revue internationale des études du développement”

This special issue of the Revue internationale des études du développement aims to bring together articles dealing with the politics of backlash in sustainable development in Latin America. The terms “backlash” and “backlash politics” are essential elements of the contemporary political landscape. They can be used in various contexts to refer to conservative mobilization, to movements in favor of local autonomy, to radical right populism, etc. We seek to stimulate in-depth reflection on conservative mobilization and the varied responses it has elicited in Latin America, across different political areas and at different scales. We call for innovative contributions and invite authors to focus on three lines of inquiry centered on ideas, institutions, and interests: 1/ Conservative agendas: reconfigurations and contestations of SD discourses and frameworks; 2/ Institutionalizing the backlash: changes in norms and politics; 3/ The strategies and interests of backlash actors.

Call for papers - America

Religions, Individuals, and Communities in the Americas

Revue interdisciplinaire de travaux sur les Amériques (RITA) n°18

As recurring objects of analysis running the whole gamut of humanities and social sciences, the ties between religions, communities, and the individuals within them have constantly been used to gauge tensions within social structures. All the more so on the American continent, where the destructive spiral of colonization set off waves of migration, and the pluralism within the communities and religions from the Northwest Territories to Tierra del Fuego delineates both their differences and similarities. Is there such a thing as specifically American structures when it comes to religions and communities? That is one of the questions posed by the present 18th issue of RITA.

Réseaux de correspondances dans les mondes ibériques et ibéro-américains (XVIII-XIX-XXe siècles)

Si l’écriture épistolaire n’est pas une invention du XVIII^e siècle, ce procédé de communication interpersonnelle et intellectuelle, utilisé aussi bien dans la vie réelle que dans la fiction, connaît un nouvel essor au siècle des Lumières. L’étude des correspondances suppose par ailleurs que l’on s’intéresse à la notion de réseaux, car l’échange et la circulation des lettres induit des dynamiques de constitution de réseaux interpersonnels (épistolaires au premier chef, mais qui sont aussi des réseaux familiaux, commerciaux, politiques, diplomatiques, etc). De plus, avec le développement des humanités numériques, on assiste à un renouvellement des méthodes d’analyse qui apportent une dimension novatrice à l’étude de corpus de correspondances. Il s’agira donc, lors de ce congrès, d’aborder la question des réseaux de correspondances dans une perspective élargie, en étendant l’étude aux espaces ibériques et ibéro-américains, et dans une chronologie allant du XVIII^e au XX^e siècles.

Music and right-wing movements

“Transposition. Music and social sciences” n°13 (2025)

The issue 13 of Transposition aims to provide an overview of the relationships between music and right-wing political movements in the contemporary world. If music is both an aesthetic and a social phenomenon that can contribute to our understanding of the world, is there a specifically musical way of thinking about and defining the political category of the right? With a view to questioning the contribution of music to the evolution of right-wing ways of thinking and acting, and vice versa, proposals may focus as much on actors as on institutions, as well as on the aesthetic scope of artistic productions.

Circus arts without borders

For a world history of the circus from Antiquity to the present day

The aim of this conference is to decompartmentalise these historiographies by inviting researchers in history and, more broadly, in the arts and the social sciences (performing arts, art history, sociology, anthropology, etc.), as well as those involved in the artistic and cultural world, to combine their approaches. This conference sees itself as a first step towards a world history of the circus, while being aware of the limits of such an undertaking. The historiography of the circus is recent, and many aspects remain unexplored. There is a lack of works that build bridges between different national histories. Moreover, some of them have not yet been written. The history of the circus in certain regions of the world and at certain periods remains largely unknown. Consequently, papers taking a local approach may be proposed if they draw attention to these areas where the history of the circus has yet to be written. However, the emphasis will be on comparative or connected, global or even worldwide approaches. The aim will be to highlight intercultural dynamics rather than local particularities.

Call for papers - Africa

History and Memory: Epistemological Reinterpretation of Africa's Past in a Post-Colonial Context

“Práticas da História” journal

This special issue of Práticas da História is interested in receiving contributions, referring to colonial and post-colonial African contexts. It is important to better understand what is happening in different African countries, at the level of the Academy but also in other spaces where social memory and history confront each other, and how political, ideological, economic and linguistic factors interfere in those situations. In the case of the former Portuguese colonies, which will soon celebrate 50 years of independence, there are additional factors, such as the later end of colonial rule and the delay in historiography about Africa that occurred until recent decades, both in Portugal and in Brazil.

Amplified liturgies. The new musical ecosystems of religion

Revue « Archives de sciences sociales des religions »

This special issue will employ empirical fieldwork and social science tools to analyze the use of sound amplification and its supports in devotional settings. This includes loudspeakers, screens, video-projectors, mixing desks, digital audio stations, the architecture of places of worship. The aim is to identify its varying modalities. How do music and its amplification affect liturgies, participants, and forms of experience, socialization and authority?

Crises, emerging risks and resilience. Challenges for risk management in a changing world

Revue « Laboreal »

A global scenario marked by multifaceted crises - environmental, health, geopolitical and social - is challenging our ability to rethink real work, reduce risks and support productive activity. In both the public and private sectors, facing an increasingly uncertain environment makes it necessary to develop capacities to anticipate threats and manage critical risks in order to avoid crises and recover when this has not been achieved. Laboreal invites researchers involved in these topics to submit their work and contribute to the publication of this issue. Papers detailing field experiences, which provide access to real work, will be given priority. The articles will be published in one of the journal's two languages (Spanish or Portuguese).

Women missionaries in Islamic lands: roots, limits, changes (early 19th century - early 21st century)

Despite their numerical preponderance among the missionary workforce exercising a Christian apotolate at the end of the Ottoman Empire, women have long attracted less work than men. A rebalancing is in progress, spurred on by the gender studies and extended to the whole Muslim world. We will focus on real encounter and conflict situations, avoiding an essentialist approach to Islam and considering the extreme diversity of the field strategies and practices. This approach will be carried out in equal parts, in a decentering and critical way, far from denominational approaches.

Violence et mémoire dans les « mondes hispaniques » : Ruptures, continuités, discours et résistances (XXe-XXIe siècles)

À l’origine de ce colloque international se trouve une réflexion générale sur deux problématiques indissociables des temps moderne et présent dans les mondes hispaniques : violence et mémoire. Nombreuses sont les interrogations qui découlent de l’intersection de ces deux notions aux contours mouvants, mais un axe central va les fédérer, celui de la réflexion sur l’influence de la violence dans la configuration sociale de la mémoire et sa dimension collective.

Les villes de l'Antiquité tardive à l'épreuve d'une analyse comparée

Écrire l’histoire des villes de l’Antiquité tardive est un exercice difficile. Leurs vestiges ont longtemps été négligés et leur histoire mal comprise. Fort heureusement depuis quelques décennies, l’intérêt des chercheurs s’est porté avec une attention renouvelée sur cet objet de recherche, grâce à de nouvelles lectures et interprétation des sources ainsi qu’au développement des recherches archéologiques. Une telle dynamique a conduit à une croissance considérable de la documentation. La comparaison effectuée sur la base d’études de cas délimitées sur le plan géographique, temporel et thématique, et de ce fait présentant une nette identité structurelle, permet d’identifier des similitudes ou des différences. Ce sont justement ces dernières, ces particularités inattendues, qui recèlent un potentiel de connaissances, car elles suscitent des questionnements concernant les conditions de leur apparition, les raisons de leur évolution et leur détermination finale.

Terre(s) promise(s) dans la fiction espagnole contemporaine (XIXe-XXe-XXIe siècles)

Devant les émergences polymorphes de la Terre promise, nous proposons dans ce colloque de réfléchir aux manifestations et à la signifiance de ce concept dans le domaine de la fiction narrative contemporaine espagnole. Est-il possible de parler de réécritures de ce que l’on est amené à considérer comme un mythe biblique ? Dans quelles mesures est-il envisageable d’en évoquer la déconstruction, la reconstruction ou la régénération ? Les représentations modernes de ce territoire ancestral s’inscrivent-elles dans un principe de continuité avec le récit originel ou subissent-elles de profondes mutations renouvelant l’imaginaire qui lui est traditionnellement associé ?

Museum, heritage, identity

Revue « Archipélies » n° 17, juin 2024

In this age of globalisation, when human identities are becoming increasingly complex as a result of multiple interconnections, cultures are obviously becoming increasingly plural in their expression of identity. While no culture has ever been monolithic, they are even less so today. Taken in this dynamic context – which implies, moreover, a diversified understanding of the heritage and the museum; in addition to the semantic and consubstantial variety of the concept of the museum – these three notions (museum, heritage and identity) have relationships between them which have an impact on the construction of cultural identities and which, therefore, merit attention in this world shaped by globalisation which, if it is not new, has a particular resonance in its modern and contemporary forms.

A beautiful painting ? Aesthetic canon(s) and pictorial production within the Spanish Crown territories (16th-19th centuries)

Ces journées d’études sont consacrées à la question du beau dans la peinture produite dans les territoires de la Couronne d’Espagne (Espagne actuelle, mais également Sicile, Naples, Milan, Pays-Bas du Sud, Artois, Franche-Comté, ainsi que les territoires américains et philippins) du XVI^e siècle au début du XIX^e siècle. Elles visent à interroger à la fois la manière dont s’est forgé un idéal dans la peinture produite dans ces territoires, souvent associée dans l’historiographie à un canon « réaliste » ou « naturaliste », avec toutes les problématiques que ces termes impliquent, et la manière dont ce canon a été perçu et reçu, voire adapté, transformé aux différentes périodes. Qu’est-ce qui était considéré comme beau dans la peinture des territoires sous domination espagnole pendant les temps modernes ? Quel était l’idéal esthétique du peintre et du spectateur ? Le Beau était-il vraiment le premier objectif des peintres ?
