Brian De Palma : la politique des images

In 2025, the US filmmaker Brian De Palma will turn 85. To celebrate this New Hollywood pioneer and his impressive body of work (30 feature-length fiction films, not counting ongoing projects, documentaries and shorts), this symposium will look at the director's filmography primarily through political and aesthetic approaches, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on a much-studied filmography. It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

Bone objects during the Roman and Early Byzantine periods

Colloquia Anatolica et Aegaea, congressus internationales Smyrnenses XV

Ancient bone objects have been found in relatively large quantities in the entire Mediterranean, from Spain to Syria and Egypt to France, where they were manufactured between the Neolithic and Medieval periods. The art of carving animal bones involves especially antler and horn. However, the spectrum of the worked bone objects recovered from Anatolia, rest of the eastern Mediterranean, Near East, the Black Sea area and Balkans is very varied, and reflects different characteristics of Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine daily life. In these areas they were also utilised as grave goods secondarily. They were exported or imported over the entire ancient Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine worlds. In this conference papers dealing with ancient artefacts or objects manufactured by bone, antler, ivory, animal teeth, mother of pearl and cockleshell are included. Focus will be on bone objects between the first century B.C. and the sixth century A.D.

Queering the Archive - Queering the Exhibition

Ce colloque souhaite porter l’attention sur des pratiques alternatives liées aux collections, aux mémoires et héritages minoritaires. Il invite à explorer ce que pourrait signifier la possibilité d’un « agir queer », d’une « ouverture à ce qui dévie » (Sara Ahmed) pour cet ensemble de pratiques qui accompagnent fonds d’archives et collections. À la suite de Jennifer Tybuczy, nous voulons « appeler à, décrire et mettre en œuvre une pratique de la mise en exposition queer ».

Cut/generate

Montage and artificial intelligence

The proliferation of machine vision systems and generative artificial intelligence (AI) models has recently transformed part of our visual culture, giving rise to new typologies of moving images that require us to re-examine certain key concepts. This international conference will explore the implications of AI algorithms and models on the concept and practice of montage, questioning its historical theories, analysis and gestures, as well as its forms and techniques in the field of generative images.

Women's voices on nobility

This colloquium invites to compare, on the one hand, women’s history and, more specifically, women’s authorship and expression history without reducing them to the simple field of writing and, on the other hand, aristocracy and the concept of nobility’s history in particular. The aim will be to explore any feminine discourse conveying ideas about the nobility, whether from a nobility member, a woman from outside the nobility or a fictional female character. Contributions will likely cover a wide range of sources: theoretical treatises, epistolary or diaristic sources, memoirs, literary works, artistic and musical representations and even oral sources for the contemporary period.

The Nearness of Architecture

To Build for the Local Community

Currently perceived in a largely positive way, 'nearness' has become a trendy concept, which is also valued in architecture and urban planning : use of bio-based and geo-based materials, return to hand drawing, setting-up of agencies in rural areas, renewed interest in critical regionalism, etc. Far from being new, and also going with a dark side, this notion applied to architecture and urban planning deserve exploration over the long term (18th-21st centuries) in order to enrich and qualify current reflections and practices. The conference aim to bring into dialogue the work of researchers (in architecture, architectural and urban history, sociology, geography, urban planning, etc.) and testimonies from local actors in architecture and territorial planning (elected officials, local authority professionals, architects, urban planners, etc.).

Rock, Activism and Liberation

The objective of this conference is to take a closer look at the various forms of activism and empowerment of rock and contemporary music performers, through their work, their positions and their career, focusing in particular on activism based on a desire for liberation and in opposition to ideological, social, economic, cultural or religious norms. These topics will be addressed within a broad chronology, from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present day, through all types of music that fall within the loose definition of "rock", and on the basis of deliberately interdisciplinary approach.

(Re)Connecting River and City - The Seine in Paris and the Ile-de-France

A Model for Nature Positive Approaches in World Heritage Cities for Climate Resilience

À l’heure du changement climatique, il est urgent de repenser la relation des habitants et du patrimoine bâti avec les rivières, les mers et les autres étendues d’eau. Les approches écosystémiques peuvent aider à (re)créer des espaces habitables, durables et justes, en accord avec des pratiques historiques, tout en protégeant, en adaptant et en apprenant de l’histoire et du patrimoine. Le patrimoine parisien des rives de la Seine offre une étude de cas précieuse pour explorer à la fois les défis et les opportunités de vivre avec l’eau.

Music and Knowledge Making in the 18th Century

Cette conférence, organisée par Amparo Fontaine (Post-doctorante Marie Curie, EHESS-CRH, GEHM/ Universidad Católica de Valparaíso), explore les trajectoires entrelacées de la musique et des savoirs scientifiques. Elle vise à analyser ce que signifiait concevoir la musique comme une « science » et à l’examiner dans les académies scientifiques au XVIII^e siècle. En intégrant divers champs d’étude, acteurs sociaux et perspectives géographiques, la conférence stimulera des discussions interdisciplinaires sur la musique en tant que source et instrument de savoir.

Circus Arts without Borders

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

For the past twenty years or so, the history of the circus has benefited from an undeniable scientific dynamism. While the circus is essentially an international art form, until now its history has mainly been written from a national perspective. 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.

Au fil de l’eau et du temps

Spatialité et diachronie de la gestion de l’eau en Méditerranée

The conference organised on 28 and 29 November 2024 as part of Marina Covolan's CIVIS3i SeBNA - Water distribution systems in the ancient world: forms of continuity, permanence and subsistence in contemporary society, focuses on the supply, storage and disposal of water over the centuries. The aim is to compare technologies, structures and knowledge that are distant in time and space, but which seem to recur and have many points in common. Around a dozen French and European colleagues from Scotland, Spain, Italy and Sweden will be taking part, covering a wide range of subjects and fields. There will also be a poster session, mainly by young researchers working on current projects or PhD.

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.
