  Emerging Terminologies and Specialised Translation

  Issue 1/2024 of the journal Studia Universitatis Babe ş-Bolyai, series Philologia will be focused on interdisciplinary approaches to emerging terminologies and the problems of specialised translation in these thematic and textual contexts. This issue aims to deepen the analysis of and expand debates in the new fields of terminological investigation of lesser-researched specialised domains of the contemporary world, as well as in already existing specialised domains which are enriched by emergent concepts, based on their corresponding neological needs.

  Studi e Ricerche di Storia dell’architettura. Rivista della Società degli Storici dell’Architettura in Italia

  Les propositions de contribution à ce numéro monographique s’attacheront à illustrer les diverses déclinaisons du mouvement de patrimonialisation de l’architecture de la Renaissance, depuis les recherches de terrain, lors de voyages d’étude, jusqu’aux publications, centrées sur des recueils de modèles, et aux interventions de restauration et de transformation, sans exclure le débat théorique et académique qui contribue à construire une narration historico-patrimoniale. Une attention particulière sera dédiée aux processus de codification des contenus et des modèles; aux impacts des changements sociaux, économiques et techniques sur les usages et les appropriations de ce patrimoine.

  Crise des réfugiés ukrainiens versus méditerranéens

  Des politiques en crise ou des promesses dans la question migratoire ?

  The war in Ukraine has provoked an unprecedented humanitarian surge. The various actors: governments, NGOs, associations, civil societies are organizing themselves to offer assistance to Ukrainian refugees. The European Union is applying a 2001 directive, which allows for the granting of temporary protection status in order to guarantee rapid access to rights: right of residence, access to work, to healthcare, to housing, education... to a stay in decent and safe conditions. These exceptional conditions granted to refugees contrast with the conditions of Mediterranean refugees. It is in this context that the United Nations human rights chief, Michelle Bachelet, welcomes this humanitarian solidarity but also recalls that other migrants and refugees are often faced with refoulement and criminalization at the EU's borders and beyond.

  Architectural Design Competitions in Europe from the 15th to 21st centuries –an Overview

  While not entirely ignored, the question of architectural design competitions seems to have been largely underestimated by contemporary historiography, although these competitions have marked the history of western architecture since, basically, the famous competition of 1418 in view of the construction of the cupola of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence – this is only to mention the modern era.

  Les pierres de Venise

  XXVe séminaire d’histoire de l’art Vénitien (2022)

  Née modestement de la rencontre du sable et de l’eau, Venise a crû, en un miracle, jusqu’à devenir au fil du temps « le plus prodigieux événement urbanistique existant sur terre » (Le Corbusier). Cet essaim d’édifices posés en îlots compose aussi un mirage de pierre tant la cité de bâtisseurs s’est heurtée à l’éloignement de toute bonne carrière de pierre, obligeant à recourir à la pierre plutôt en parement sur des structures de briques, et à se tourner naturellement vers le remploi de pierres d’anciens monuments. Étudier les Pierres de Venise (1851), c’est donc revenir sur l’histoire d’un défi constructif et architectural, depuis la quête et l’acheminement des matériaux, des ruines d’Altino aux carrières d’Istrie, et l’organisation des métiers lapidaires (tagiapiera, scultori, terrazzieri), jusqu’à la réalisation des façades, ponts, puits, margelles, escaliers…

  Leçons pour penser et concevoir un monde plus habitable

  Ces journées d’étude organisées par l’École nationale supérieure d'architecture de Lyon ont une double ambition : offrir un nouvel éclairage sur les apports théoriques de cette figure féminine majeure de l’architecture du XX^e siècle ; explorer les résonances de son œuvre éditoriale, dessinée et construite avec des préoccupations contemporaines qui touchent au rapport au paysage et au vivant, à l’habitabilité du monde, et au retour à une pratique de l’architecture plus proche des savoirs artisanaux.

  Between ethics and semiotics. Signs and nature in the Anthropocene era

  “Filosofi(e)Semiotiche” journal (Il Sileno Edizioni), volume 9, n. 1, 2022

  The Anthropocene, unlike other previous eras, is commonly recognized as the era in which the impact of human beings is most incisive in determining the dynamics of the climate and the planet in which we live. With this Call we intend, therefore, to highlight some aspects of the Anthropocene in order to suggest a rethinking of the relationship between human nature and the surrounding environment ; this will allow us to specify how ethics and semiotics can be used in a rethinking of these two categories, and, in general, of the link between language and nature, which inevitably involves the need to review our ways of “making world”.

  The environment of history

  Diacronie. Rivista di Storia Contemporanea

  The environment of history is a space in the journal “Diacronie. Rivista di Storia Contemporanea” intended to reflect in a historical perspective on one of the most characterizing themes of recent years, the environmental issue. In this space we wish to host contributions that approach environmental history from a wide spectrum of interpretations. We welcome approaches based on its most classical meaning, as a historical discipline that investigates the relationship between humans and the environment and combines different disciplinary fields, and approaches that foreground new themes, scales of analysis and methodologies.

  Principles and actions for second language training, in migratory and pandemic contexts

  This call for papers follows on the colloquium held in Metz in September 2018 and is based on the various measures put in place to welcome migrants through language training. As the context in which we work has evolved, our thinking and actions now take into account the health crisis, which has multiplied the fragilities and vulnerabilities that had increased by the turn of the century with globalization, and even more so, the migration flow, which involved and still involve the responsibility of host societies. As for the new fragilities and vulnerabilities that have emerged in the pandemic context, they concern in particular the freedom of mobility, access to online courses, and the impacts of social distancing.

  Classicamente. Dialoghi senesi sul mondo antico

  Diritto e Ritualità

  The full online seminar “Diritto e Ritualità” 10-11 November 2021 will focus on questions of Greek law and ritual forms in the ancient world, investigated through the lens of anthropology. We will explore the relationship between rhetoric and law, the evidence of judicial practices in literary sources and some issues related to the analysis of specific epigraphic sources (defixiones and prayers for justice). In the second day, we will try to put some ritual forms of the ancient world into context. In particular, we will investigate the function of knucklebones in Greek sanctuaries and the relationship between the ludic dimension and the ritual one. Late antique adoratio will also be discussed in light of the most recent theories developed by Anthropology and Ritual Studies.

  Climate change and digital sound and audiovisual preservation

  IV International Congress of Digital Archives

  El cambio climático es el proceso que pone en riesgo la vida, la salud y el desarrollo de las naciones. De acuerdo con la Organización de las Naciones Unidas, en muchos países las temperaturas han presentado niveles máximos sin precedentes, los niveles de gases de efecto invernadero están aumentando, el nivel del mar está subiendo y los desastres naturales se agravan. Las soluciones encaminadas a crear economías verdes y sustentables van acompañadas de cambios en diferentes aspectos de la actividad humana. La investigación científica ocupa un espacio relevante y necesario para formular aportaciones que minimicen el impacto del cambio climático en la sociedad. Uno de los ámbitos poco estudiados, con incidencia en el cambio climático, es el relativo a los archivos digitales sonoros y audiovisuales. No obstante que la preservación digital de archivos sonoros y audiovisuales genera de forma constante basura tecnológica y requiere del uso continuo de energía.
