Unleashing Transformative and Decolonised Education for Sustainability in a Globalised World
The theme of the conference is grounded in the transformative learning paradigm applied to education for sustainable development (ESD). ESD is a central element in promoting “enlightened citizenship” for all students, but also in training future professionals who will integrate a sustainable development approach into their work, regardless of the sector. This call for contributions is based on UNESCO’s 2030 Roadmap for Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), published in 2020 and the 2022 Berlin Declaration, which places transformative ESD at its core.

British Travel Writing and Imperial Rivalry in Europe and the Near East, 1783–1914
This conference aims to interrogate some of these British visions of rival empires in narrations published between 1783 and 1914. It would be interesting to analyse the practice of imagined colonialism, that is, how the British travellers cast a domineering gaze upon their imperial rivals when travelling in lands that were not colonies of the British crown.

Marge(s), seuil(s), transition(s)
Dans un souci d’actualisation des approches, les germanistes questionneront trois concepts : marge(s), seuil(s) et transition(s), dans leurs multiples acceptions (spatiale, historique, symbolique, économique, linguistique etc.). La linguistique s’intéresse également, par essence, à ces notions : entre normes et usages, entre centre(s) et périphérie(s), entre langues dominantes et variétés marginalisées. Des communications portant sur la variation linguistique dans le domaine germanophone et son rapport à la norme standard sont donc les bienvenues, qu’il s’agisse de variations géographiques (dialectes), sociales (sociolectes) ou individuelles (idiolectes).

Crossing urban Planning cultures in time of conflict and reconciliation
Views on continental Europe, 1937-1945. Session 69 – EAUH 2026
The aim of this approach is to consider how national urban planning traditions are shaped by conflict-related constraints during periods of escalation towards war and of occupation. National historiographies have long considered this period as a parenthesis in the circulation of ideas and models. In contrast to this approach, the perspective of the session involves an in-depth investigation of urban planning theories on a European scale, as well as an analysis of personal and institutional exchanges, technical transfers and expertises before and during World War II.

Redon, la ville et son pays : carrefour, transport et circulation
Congrès de la Société d’histoire et d’archéologie de Bretagne
Redon occupe en effet une position géographique singulière : c’est un centre installé en périphérie, un nœud de circulation et d’échanges, tant pour les marchandises que pour les personnes. Et, au moins depuis le Moyen Âge, cette petite ville s’est imposée comme un point de convergence des routes terrestres et fluvio-maritimes. Son actuelle position à l’interface entre la Bretagne, les Pays de la Loire et l’Atlantique en a fait un lieu de passage incontournable. Les infrastructures historiques, tels que son port et le canal de Nantes à Brest, témoignent de sa position à l’interface.

Capitals of Italy: Spaces and “identities” from the Sister republics to fascism
This interdisciplinary Summer School, part of the Spazidentità project supported by the École Française de Rome, explores the relationship between spatial dimensions and the construction of Italian identity from the nineteenth century to Fascism. Focusing on capital cities, it examines how urban spaces, monuments, and museums shaped and reflected national belonging. Through theoretical discussions, in situ case studies in Rome, and presentations by doctoral and post-doctoral researchers, the program investigates the role of space in political transformations, revolutionary movements, and ideological projections. Key themes include the impact of unification, Fascist urban planning, and the contested narratives of Italy’s capitals.

Conference, symposium - History
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.

Heritage Villages and Tourism: Local Issues, Global Experiences
In a societal context that calls for practices to be reinvented for a sustainable territorial development (Knafou, 2023), heritage villages are at the crossroads of several issues, both in terms for the actions of inhabitants and the participation of visitors and tourists. This conference, organised by ESTHUA, the National Institute of Tourism - INNTO France of the University of Angers, and ICUNA, the Joint Institute of the Universities of Ningbo and Angers, will focus on several issues relating to the heritage of villages and the challenges they face in terms of tourism, in particular: adaptation to local society, the natural, environmental and intangible dimensions of the heritage on offer, adaptation to tourist numbers and the involvement of local people in tourism development projects.

Les années de croissance et la « ville européenne » (années 1950-1970)
Ce colloque vise à appréhender la modernisation de la fin des années 1940 au seuil des années 1980 en relisant la notion de ville européenne face aux « accélérations » de l’époque. La ville européenne est prise ici comme un espace spécifique en tension, et non comme la version réduite des grandes métropoles mondiales. Les trois axes d’enquête proposés interrogent, à travers la perception d’une « accélération », les manières de penser, gouverner, planifier, construire et contester la ville, à la croisée entreusages de l’histoire, pratiques de conception et projection des futurs urbains : accélérations spatiales, accélérations politiques, accélérations sociales.

Discourses, Realities and Representations of Defiance
Literatures, Cultures and Civilisations of the Anglo-Saxon World, Commonwealth and BRICS countries
The conference theme, understanding defiance in the Anglo-Saxon world, Commonwealth, and BRICS countries, is of significant importance in the field of humanities and social sciences. We aim to identify, at various points in their histories, how defiance is constructed and understood in the sense of 'challenge' that the French word défiance shares with the English noun defiance - which appeared in the early 14th century under the influence of the French word desfiance. Your research and insights will contribute to our collective understanding of this crucial aspect. This conference is part of the debate opened up by Nancy Nyquist Potter (2016) in her introduction to her eulogy of defiance.

Art à l’épreuve de la géopolitique
Le contexte géopolitique est présent dans la production artistique individuelle et dans les stratégies culturelles de certains pays. En effet, il est rare, de nos jours, de trouver un artiste plasticien ou créateur qui demeure totalement indépendant à l’égard des circonstances politiques internationales et autonome vis-vis des institutions de son pays. La géopolitique interpelle tous les domaines de l’art soit pour plaider une cause juste, soit pour blanchir des pratiques illicites ou encore couvrir les actions hideuses d’une force envahissante. La photographie en temps de guerre, les graffitis, le cinéma et les spectacles de rue improvisés sont des moyens de faire passer un message que les politiciens veulent que nous prenions pour vrai et historiquement correct. Ainsi, une cause juste peut-elle devenir dans les médias (dans les documentaires, les photos, les écriteaux, les affiches, etc.) une action terroriste et non pas une lutte contre l’occupant.
