  Diversity and development - specificities, fragments, totality and unity

  Dans la dynamique des relations humaines, les migrations et les rencontres ont permis le constat et l'évaluation de la diversité. Au départ considérée comme une fatalité handicapante, cette dernière va décliner vers un destin mercantile avec l'esclavage et la colonisation notamment. À notre époque, la fusion des espaces réel et virtuel, la connexion des individus dans le maillage communicationnel, les embranchements multiples de nos relations vont dorénavant faire émerger la métaphore de l'humanité « multiprise ». Le présent colloque voudrait interroger la diversité de nos diversités (Dervin, 2001), l'envisager dans ses facettes multiples et protéiformes pour en saisir les enjeux dans la quête du développement.

  Animal deaths in perspective

  Ce numéro de Frontières entend explorer la multiplicité et les transformations des morts animales dans les sociétés contemporaines. En partant de diverses catégories d’animaux (de rente, de ferme, d’assistance, de compagnie, de spectacle, d’expérimentation, de refuge, de zoo, sauvages, « nuisibles » ou « indésirables », etc.), il s’agira d’examiner la confrontation avec différents types et contextes de mort des animaux. Les propositions pourront ainsi aborder les diverses modalités de la mort des bêtes que sont l’abattage, la chasse, le sacrifice, l’euthanasie, l’expérimentation, l’élimination sanitaire, mais aussi les situations de guerre, prédation, pratiques rituelles ou spectaculaires diverses, etc.

  From suffering to reparation - the future of a modern illusion

  L’être humain subit actuellement une série de bouleversements par l’émergence de nouveaux dispositifs technologiques dont l’évolution croissante permet leur introduction dans le corps de façon plus ou moins invasive. L’individu se voit ainsi transformé en une interface corps-machine ou cerveau-machine, selon le lieu d’implantation et l’intégration corporelle. Les pacemakers, prothèses de main ou de jambe, implants cochléaires, etc. en fournissent une illustration. Le gain de telles prouesses techniques offrant aux sujets un accès à des traitements qui leur restituent un espace d’autonomie est incontestable. Cependant, force est de constater que ces mêmes techniques soulèvent également des questions bioéthiques incontournables. Dans ce contexte actuel, ce workshop présente l’originalité d’associer et d’intégrer l’approche psychanalytique aux recherches concernant la médecine technoscientifique, questionnant ainsi les modalités par lesquelles le domaine de la santé et la société traitent aujourd’hui le sujet et son corps.

  Light(s) and darkness(es)

  Special issue of “Journal of Energy History” (JEHRHE)

  If historians of art have generally investigated complex dynamics between light and dark more than historians, light is still too often analyzed alone, without reference to darkness. For these reasons, this special issue of Journal of Energy History (JEHRHE) aims to challenge this reductionistic framework, which simplifies the complex variety of historical (and contemporary) cases, in order to explore the nuances of light and darkness created by candle, kerosene, oil, gas, and electricity and therefore tease out the diverse, sometimes contradictory, meanings and experiences of light(s) and darkness(es) in the past. We thus seek to study the juxtaposition of light and dark, placing this contrast in dialogue within broader conversations in the history of energy, environmental history, the history of technology, and related fields.

  Which sports tourism? The makings of a contemporary experience of the elsewhere

  IIe journée du CERCE « anthropologie du sport »

  The society of production is giving way to a consumer society in which leisure activities are gaining in popularity. Free time thus tends to turn into time which is used to groom one’s body, and the « civilization of leisure » generates its own culture (Dumazedier, 1964). In this way, sports as a form of leisure hold a particular place within our society. The “sportivization” of society, from a cultural and economic aspect, generates an expansion and a renewal of the different types of sporting leisure activities (increase in the number of sporting practices and diversification of the sporting techniques’ employed), following recreational (Corneloup, 2011) or body-oriented (Rauch, 1988) goals, but also connecting with the environment, whether it be urban or natural.

  “It doesn’t even hurt!” Mock battles and the aesthetics of violence in traditional festivals

  Revue « Ethnologie française »

  By using the phrase “mock battle”, we propose to examine a large set of contemporary practices which display ritualized competitions according to very specific modes. The issue would like to gather articles which, on different fields, analyze practices consisting in “pretending to fight” and which display violence in a figurative, aesthetic, metaphorical or euphemistic way.

  Cooking as a ritual

  Cuisine and culture in the globalized 21st Century World

  Cooking is one of the most interesting characteristic of one culture. It gathers indeed material aspects (ingredients, tools, places) and symbolic values (representation, type of meals) that are often shared by social groups, while varying a lot at a global point of view. From this perspective, cooking can be considered as ritual. The cook has indeed to respect codes and rules (regarding places, technics and materials) that are linked to specific representation, to create a product that eater(s) will believe can be eaten – that’s to say incorporated, physically and symbolically.

  Field philosophy and other experiments

  This colloquium will bring together leading and emerging scholars to discuss, share, and analyze what similarities and differences there are between their respective humanities research projects, as conducted in the field, and to experiment with what new field practices might emerge from the humanities. How are field practices in the environmental humanities methodologically different from those in cultural anthropology, geography, or sociology? How might field research in philosophy reshape traditionally text-based disciplinary boundaries?

  Hospitalitie(s)

  Space(s) of care, tension and presence

  Above all, the call for papers emphasizes the correlation between hospitality and space. Jacques Godbout, in his article "Receiving is to give", specifies that hospitality is a "gift of space". So what are the characteristics of these given spaces? Are they permanent, temporary or transitional? Are there inherent areas of hospitality? And how are they built? From hospitals to home, what are these spaces and what is their spatial nature? And what meaning of hospitality do these spaces convey? What kind of space does hospitality produce?
