    Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity

    Espaces et Société n°200, march 2027

    This special issue aims to highlight the spatial dimension of public goods maintenance and evolution in the context of austerity by adopting the spatial care perspective through three axes: 1) actors and practices involved in maintaining public goods; 2) maintaining public goods on a day-to-day basis; 3) the work and values of public goods. We encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experimentation, bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. This call is open to interdisciplinary, national and international contributions.

    From writing on temples to the digital age: The means of dissemination and construction of history

    "Histoire Méditerranéenne" Journal

    This call is devoted to the means of disseminating and constructing history, from writing on temples to the digital age. This issue explores how the means of disseminating information have influenced, through the ages, the way history is told, transmitted and interpreted. By combining historical approaches with information and communication sciences, this issue aims to analyse the interactions between communication and historical dimensions across all historical periods, from the earliest times to the present era. This thematic issue seeks to examine the dialectic between mediums of dissemination and the construction of history, highlighting the continuities and ruptures between eras.

    Framing intimacy

    Plurality and Vulnerability in Ways of Building relationships

    La notion d’intimité est aujourd’hui communément utilisée, aussi bien dans les manières dont chacun∙e d’entre nous rend compte de ses relations que dans les espaces médiatiques et académiques. Elle permet de rendre compte des transformations qui ont affecté au cours des dernières décennies les manières de relationner, de faire couple et famille, et plus généralement des liens noués avec celles et ceux à qui nous tenons : le déclin des institutions à principe, la diversification des parcours des individus, la reconnaissance des minorités de genre et de sexualité notamment. Diversification et désinstitutionnalisation des relations questionnent de fait leurs frontières et leur teneur. Cela a pour conséquence de mettre au premier plan la dimension politique de l’intimité, non seulement dans les inégalités et les rapports de pouvoir qui caractérisent les relations intimes, mais aussi dans les opérations et les institutions qui définissent ce qu’est une relation intime, qui en reconnaissent certaines et en invisibilisent d’autres, qui déterminent les « bonnes » intimités et discréditent les autres. Qui et qu’est-ce qui définit une relation intime ? Quelles sont les diverses manières de relationner et comment sont-elles qualifiées ? Quels sont les enjeux politiques et historiques de cette notion ?

    Decolonial Studies 2015-2025 – State of the Field: Africas – Americas – Europe

    In 2015, the first conference dedicated to decolonial studies was held at Lumière University Lyon 2. Ten years ago, decolonial studies, born in South America, were little known in France. The Toulouse conference, to be held in October 2025, aims to take stock, ten years later, of decolonial studies in European, American, and African spaces (Francophone, Lusophone, and Anglophone).

    The Construction of Latin-American Historiography: An Inter-Cultural Dialogue

    In the field of architecture and urban history, the issue of cultural transfers has become a significant theme in the discipline, discussing the artifact in the space —i. e., the architectural object or the urban fabric— considering different mediations, from the circulation of images or printed texts to the circulation of practitioners. Nevertheless, the same approach can be applied to the writing of history itself,. This call for papers does not discuss the artifact but intends to question Latin America’s architecture, urban and landscape historiographical operations that covered the long interval from the colonial period to the end of the 20th century.

    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.

    Current State of Haitian Migration

    Études caribéennes N° 61, 2025

    In Haiti, the migration issue is a key structural factor in understanding the realities of this society. Since the country’s first occupation by the United States in 1915, national life has been punctuated by the massive displacement of Haitians, making it a country of emigration. From 1915 to the post-2010 years, marked by the January 12 earthquake, the country experienced at least six major waves of migration. Starting from these considerations as a powerful factor of expulsion, there is an invitation to take stock of a century and more of Haitian emigration.

    Values, combat sports and martial arts: myths and legends under the science proofs

    The 17th edition of JORRESCAM (Journées de réflexion et de recherches sur les sports de combat et les arts martiaux) will take place in Arradon (France). The proximity of the Brocéliande forest was a factor in the choice of theme for this event, which examines the representations (Jodelet, 1995) of martial arts and combat sports practitioners, as well as of the general public, whether lay or professional. All disciplines are called upon to discuss these dimensions, from the biological sciences to the human and social sciences, as well as management, information and communication sciences.

The conference willtherefore contribute to the debates on the conditions for the perpetuation and change ofsocial practices in general, and (co)educational practices in particular, in different regionsof the world and in different eras.

    Call for Papers: Masculinities in Migration

    Building on the achievements of feminist approaches to migration, this call for papers invites contributions that place gender—masculinity—at the heart of their thinking.

This call for papers is open to contributions from a range of social science disciplines, dealing with a variety of historical and geographical contexts.
