Périodes de transition en histoire entre Maġreb et Mašreq

Regards croisés des historiens, des archéologues et des anthropologues

Les périodes transitoires constituent des mots clés de l'histoire, marqués par des bouleversements politiques, sociaux, économiques, culturels, mais aussi urbains et monumentaux. Ce colloque propose d'examiner ces moments de transition sous différents prismes disciplinaires, en mettant en lumière les dynamiques de rupture et de continuité à travers les regards des historiens, des archéologues et des anthropologues.

Learning From the Desert

Water, Humanities, Territories, Imaginary

Faced with the global scarcity of water and the “aridification” of a growing number of regions around the world, this symposium aims to question the productivist and short-termist logics of our water management methods. To this end, we invite you to take an in-depth look at cases of territorial development in arid or semi-arid regions, not limiting ourselves to the technical question of water management, but broadening our view to include all the research and dynamics underlying hydrographic designs in arid environments.

Haunted Archives of Livingness

Visual Culture and the Politics of Care in the Age of Ecological Entanglement

Titled Haunted Archives of Livingness: Visual Culture and the Politics of Care in the Age of Ecological Entanglement, this year’s edition invites reflections on how contemporary artistic practices engage with ecological, political, and affective entanglements through archival thinking. In light of deepening environmental crises and social inequalities, the archive emerges not only as a site of memory and power but as a porous and generative terrain—an unstable corpus of living matter in constant metamorphosis. The conference aims to examine how artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners mobilize photography and visual media to activate archives that are haunted by histories of violence, yet reanimated through care, resistance, and speculative reimaginings.

Pré-histoire(s) de la recherche-création

Revue « Littera Incognita » n°14

Intitulé « Pré-histoire(s) de la recherche-création », ce numéro souhaite explorer, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, les formes historiques et souvent oubliées de ce que l’on désigne aujourd’hui sous le terme de recherche-création. Il s’agit d’interroger la nouveauté supposée de cette démarche en revisitant les pratiques artistiques, théoriques et critiques qui, bien avant les années 1950, articulaient déjà création et recherche.

Situated-design : issues and perspectives

Situated-design can be defined as a new approach to design that is part of a contextual dynamic in which creation and design take full account of: materials, know-how, social practices, and the uses of territory, landscapes and environments, as active elements in the design process. In opposition to the dominant productivist model of industrial design, situated design is particularly distinguished by its commitment to preserving and enriching environments.

Les artistes face au catalogue d’exposition

Programme

Cette journée d’étude internationale « Les artistes face au catalogue d’exposition » se propose d’interroger la manière dont les artistes se positionnent à l’égard du catalogue d’exposition. Elle réunit de jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs, des universitaires et des artistes. Elle s’inscrit à la suite de plusieurs manifestations scientifiques qui ont toutes eu pour objectif d’envisager le catalogue comme objet d’étude en soi, et non comme seule source pour l’histoire de l’art. Cette journée d’étude est organisée avec le soutien du CRHA F.-G. Pariset et l’Université Bordeaux-Montaigne, le LARHRA et l’Université Grenoble-Alpes, le Centre Pompidou à Paris et le FRAC Nouvelle-Aquitaine MÉCA.

Dancing (with technology)

“Intermediality. History and Theory of the Arts, Literature, and Technologies” no. 48 (Fall 2026)

This issue of Intermediality aims to theorize dance (as genre, practice, and idea) from within historical and contemporary entanglements of bodies, media, affects, and values. We are seeking contributions from scholars, choreographers, technicians, and dancers in either essay format or a more creative form, with a focus on projects that involve dance and today’s new and emergent media, such as virtual or augmented reality (VR/AR), robotics, motion capture technology (mocap), AI applications, and other animative and choreographic interfaces. We especially welcome submissions that engage with disability, critical race, and gender studies, and research-creation approaches. Scholars wishing to focus on earlier historical examples of the intersection of dancing and technology are also encouraged to apply.

À pied d’œuvre

Ve Congrès francophone d’histoire de la construction

Cette rencontre s’inscrit dans la dynamique des manifestations scientifiques internationales rassemblant autour de l’histoire de la construction des praticiens et des chercheurs, des acteurs du patrimoine (collectivités, associations, etc.), des étudiants, des amateurs, des élus et des usagers. Si les thématiques traditionnelles de l’histoire de la construction sont bien évidemment abordées (matériaux, processus de construction, chantier, droit et économie, métiers et acteurs, circulation des savoirs, etc.), d’autres sujets liés au développement de nouveaux thèmes de recherche sont proposés tels que l’histoire des techniques d’entretien et de restauration et l’histoire environnementale.

Réactualisation des matériaux et savoir-faire préindustriels

Perspectives historiques

Faced with today's environmental and climatic challenges, architectural production needs to embrace a shift towards frugality, in particular through the use of bio- and geo-sourced materials. In this respect, pre-industrial knowledge and know-how can be particularly inspiring. The aim of this study day is to understand how to design, build and rehabilitate using ancient techniques. The aim is to examine gestures and know-how in relation to so-called traditional building materials. This one-day event will call on researchers to shed scientific light on these essential questions, so as to avoid falling into the irenic trap of a return to our roots, without misrepresenting them or greenwashing them. Adopting a historical perspective could be a way of avoiding this pitfall, contextualizing it and initiating a debate with the practitioners and future practitioners of tomorrow's architecture. This study day is aimed at students, teachers, researchers and anyone interested in learning more about these subjects. The aim is to develop an accurate awareness of materials and know-how.
