Athens
We propose this session to bring together researchers examining women’s craft practices and to deepen our understanding of their identities and agency through the materialityof these activities. Materiality is understood here as encompassing artefacts and gestures: thustools, waste, but also workspaces, as well as traces on objects and traces on human remains (work-related illnesses, for example). The purpose of this session is to review the current state of research on this topic, sharequestions, difficulties, and advances.

La refondation de l’État, une nécessité aux variables multiples depuis l’Antiquité
Autour de la contemplation de l’œuvre du Pr. Hugues Mouckaga
L’enjeu de ce colloque est de s’interroger sur la nécessité d’une refondation de l’État et sur de potentiels éléments pouvant permettre sa réorganisation profonde et systématique. Il entend croiser les approches historiques, sociologiques, juridiques, philosophiques et politiques pour mieux comprendre les logiques, les temporalités et les justifications qui accompagnent la restructuration des États dans le long terme.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish
Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.

Dance-Sculpture Encounters in Francophone Contexts, Past and Present
This special issue of H-France Salon aims to broaden our understanding of the intricate patterns of interconnection and mutual exchange between the arts of dance and sculpture. The “Degas dilemma,” is whereby the (female) dancer passively serves as the (male) sculptor’s “muse.” Rather than reducing the relationship between these arts to mere illustration or representation, interventions should consider the range of ways that each responded to the other, and address how such encounters between artistic media illuminate, inform, or amplify hierarchies of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, and culture.

Écrivaines ouvrières, paysannes et précaires.
Contribution à une histoire littéraire de l’émancipation au XXe siècle
Face au regain d’intérêt pour ces littératures produites par des auteurs appartenant aux classes dominées, il reste un angle mort qui concerne la place spécifique réservée aux femmes. Les autrices prolétariennes, paysannes ou précaires semblent en effet doublement occultées, de par leur statut de prolétaire et leur condition de femme. Sans prétendre à l’exhaustivité, cette journée d’études se propose de pallier à ce que Michelle Perrot appelait dans la biographie qu’elle consacre à Lucie Baud « un véritable déficit de mémoire » en mettant en lumière les écrivaines ouvrières, paysannes et précaires du XXe siècle. Elle se veut une contribution à l’histoire littéraire de l’émancipation qu’il convient de continuer à écrire. Il s’agira donc d’interroger ces œuvres variées et le parcours de leurs autrices dans leurs liens spécifiques avec l’écriture littéraire.

Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences
The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.

Appropriating international spaces and professions
European women and feminists in the 20th century
The workshop focuses on the intersections between the history of international relations, European studies and women's and gender history. Since the early 21st century, historiography on international relations and European integration has undergone profound transformations, enabling the integration of a gender perspective. However, writing a history of European and international relations from a female perspective and integrating a gender perspective into these scientific fields remains a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to take stock of approaches at the crossroads of the study of international relations, European integration, gender and feminism. It will provide a forum for debate on recent empirical work and work in progress.

The Night in the Modern Era. Interpretations, Conflicts, and Changes
"Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea" Journal (March 2027)
The nighttime holds both symbolic and practical meanings, representing a space of negotiations, conflicts and changes in societies. It has its own rhythms and customs. This special issue od Diachronie aims to explore the theme of the night in the Modern era, with particular attention to the social, cultural and political dynamics characterised by their occurrence at nightfall. What experiences, actors, and practices transpass the boundaries between legality and subversion in nightlife? Or what metaphorical meanings has the night taken on?

Penser les violences médicales. Regards croisés en sciences sociales
Ce colloque interdisciplinaire (sociologie, anthropologie, histoire, droit, santé publique) vise à porter un regard scientifique sur le caractère potentiellement violent de gestes, pratiques et interactions dans le domaine de la santé. Il entend problématiser la notion de violence au-delà du seul cadre gynécologique et obstétrical. Pour cela, quatre axes de réflexion sont proposés : (1) Définir, mesurer et problématiser les violences médicales ; (2) Saisir les violences par l'étude du travail médical ; (3) Penser les violences dans la formation professionnelle ; (4) Politiser les violences : victimes, mobilisations et régulation.

Genre et pouvoir médical en Europe (Antiquité-1918)
La journée d’étude « Genre et pouvoir médical » propose d’analyser les rapports étroits entre genre et pouvoir médical à travers l’histoire européenne de l’Antiquité à la fin de la Première Guerre mondiale. Ces deux notions étroitement imbriquées permettent d’étudier non seulement la manière dont les questions liées au genre ont été envisagées par la médecine à travers l’histoire mais aussi de mettre au jour certains mécanismes du pouvoir médical liés aux identités de genre. On privilégiera une perspective intersectionnelle, c’est-à-dire qui prend en compte non seulement le genre, mais aussi la classe, la « race », sans négliger les facteurs de fortune ou d’âge.
