Telling the World in Images during the Renaissance
Organisées sous les auspices du CNRS/Centre André Chastel, de l’université Grenoble Alpes / LARHRA et de la Villa Médicis, ces journées constituent un pivot du projet Spectacles célestes, déployé au sein de la chaire de professeur junior ARVIGRAPH. Nous y sonderons les modalités par lesquelles les images édifient et énoncent le cosmos dans ses dimensions symboliques, sociales et esthétiques.

Phraseological Universals in Natural Languages
Revue « Neophilologica », n° 38
The study of linguistic universals, closely tied to linguistic typology, seeks to identify features shared across natural languages despite their diversity. These universals — traditionally classified as phono-logical, grammatical, semantic, and symbolic — aim to formalize the invariants of human language, often in connection with cognition and perception. While linguistic typol-ogy focuses on differences between languages, the study of universals defines their con-straints, delineating the boundaries of possible variation.

La fabrique de l’histoire dans les arts à Venise : récits, propagande et contre-récits
XXIXe séminaire d’histoire de l’art vénitien
Qui écrit, dans les arts, l’histoire, selon quelles sélections et omissions, pour qui et à quelle fin ? Comment la production artistique dans l’espace public a-t-elle célébré les grands hommes et les femmes illustres, les génies artistiques, ou bien parfois effacé volontairement les mémoires ? Comment enfin s’élaborent dans les arts les contre-récits à Venise ?

Work, Health, and Environment between Knowledge and Power (19th–21st Centuries)
This conference seeks to be a multidisciplinary forum (history, sociology, geography, medicine, anthropology, etc.) devoted to analysing the knowledge, practices, and repertoires of action arising from these mobilisations. It welcomes diverse historical and geographical contexts, especially beyond countries of early industrialisation, to document and map past and present struggles against harmfulness.

Scandal in Italian Society (1350-1530): norms, transgressions, and representations
Cahiers d’études italiennes
This thematic issue of Cahiers d’études italiennes aims to examine both the polysemy and social functions of scandal in Italy in the late Middle Ages and early Renaissance (1350-1530), combining approaches from history, literature, art history, political philosophy, and law. Contributions will focus primarily on Italian society, but contributions addressing cases of scandal related to Italy or Italian personalities are also welcome.

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Pia Pera: An Archipelago of Writings
Ten years after the death of the writer Pia Pera (1956–2016), the aim of this full-day workshop is to explore her entire body of work in depth for the first time. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to restore the diversity of her writing and highlight its place in the Italian literary landscape. Her work anticipated issues that we consider essential today, and she was a complex, protean and unique figure.

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills
What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?
In L’économie du XXe siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

Diplomatic Gifts in the Modern and Contemporary Eras
Definitions, Changes, and Patrimonialisation on a Global Scale
Considering the long history of diplomatic relations, the conference aims above all to fully analyse the evolving agency of gifts, from the strengthening of princely dynastic alliances to the consolidation of nation states, as well as the way in which the objects offered construct and potentially reconfigure links. How do these objects fit into a policy of gift-giving, whether serial or renewed over time? According to what rituals must these witnesses, which seal the agreement, themselves reactivate the alliance (counter-gift, reconnection journey, etc.)? How are they perceived and understood a few years after they were offered, and when they become part of discourses on patrimonialisation, especially in places dedicated to their collective conservation, which are themselves, in turn, active tools?

Actors and representations of the safeguard of nature in mountain areas: a global perspective (late 18th – early 21st century)
The aim of this international scientific conference is to examine the progressive integration of the environmental protection theme into the several mountain ranges of the Earth, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 21st century, concluding in 2022, the International Year of Mountains. By selecting a global perspective, it encourages a decentring of observation points, which in turn brings to light not only the diversity of trajectories but also the possible (direct or indirect) circulation of knowledge, materials, practices and individuals in the different mountain ranges.

The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World
This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

Ordre et désordre dans la presse
Nouveaux métiers, matérialité des imaginaires et duels de plume et d’épée au cours du long XIXe siècle
L’objectif de ce colloque international, organisé par le Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere dell’Università di Pisa et le Centre de la Méditerranée Moderne et Contemporaine (CMMC) de l’Université Côte d’Azur, est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes de l’essor inédit de la presse à partir de la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale. Il s’inscrit dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique en cours. Pour cette nouvelle manifestation, il s’agit d’appréhender de nouveaux pans de la grande transformation médiatique à travers trois axes : le rôle de la presse dans la mise en ordre ou en désordre du monde social, suscitant, confortant ou renversant des imaginaires sociaux, y compris ceux qui concernent les actrices et acteurs du champ médiatique ; l’importance des producteurs/productrices et des productions d’iconographie journalistique (caricatures et illustrations) ; et les formes des violences générées par la presse, qu’elles émanent du public, des autorités, ou bien qu’elles aient lieu entre journalistes.

Literary paradigms and research perspectives
Ce colloque se propose d’explorer la centralité et la complexité du concept de risque dans la littérature de langue française dès le début du XXe siècle jusqu’à nos jours. L’initiative s’insère dans le cadre du projet de recherche Déclinaisons du risque : pour une archéologie des imaginaires littéraires des XXe et XXIe siècles (PRIN 2022), développé par les équipes de recherche en Littérature française des universités de Turin, Bergame et Naples Federico II. Adoptant une approche interdisciplinaire, le projet vise à mettre en lumière la manière dont le risque — communément étudié dans les sciences exactes et sociales — revêt, dans les pratiques littéraires, la signification d’une incertitude intrinsèque à tout projet créatif.

Roman Youth(s) from Octavian to Nero
Neronia XII, SIEN International Congress
Le thème retenu cette année est celui de la jeunesse, sa place dans la société, ses expériences et ses représentations d'Octave à Néron (44 av. J.-C. à 68 apr. J.-C.). Les communications attendues seront centrées sur la jeunesse, possiblement en relation avec d’autres âges (l’enfance et l’âge mûr). On peut prendre en compte toutes les sources, dans toutes les langues vernaculaires de l’empire romain, et de toute nature, épigraphiques, numismatiques, papyrologiques, littéraires, juridiques et bien sûr iconographiques.
