    Construire la déviance religieuse en Islam et dans les chrétientés médiévales

    Histoire des représentations et approches sémantiques (Occident latin, Byzance et mondes islamiques, IVe–XVe siècle)

    Cette journée d’étude propose d’explorer les processus de construction de la déviance religieuse dans les deux traditions monothéistes du christianisme et de l’islam médiévaux, à travers l’analyse du vocabulaire et des représentations discursives et picturales de l’exclusion religieuse. La discrimination s’appuie en effet sur un lexique de la stigmatisation et de la différenciation qui prend racine dans le registre de la polémique, se diffuse dans différents domaines de la culture écrite et visuelle, mais peut aussi gagner le domaine du droit.

    Attractiveness and mobility networks: seducing, welcoming and integrating

    As part of the study day "Attractiveness and Mobility Networks," PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars are invited to explore the dynamics of attractiveness in individual and collective mobilities, from the Bronze Age to the modern era. The event focuses on the legal, political, and social mechanisms implemented to attract, welcome, and integrate individuals into networks. It also examines the formal and informal circulation of information, as well as the processes of community clustering. Particular attention will be given to both the successes and failures of these mechanisms of attractiveness.

    Penser l’assujettissement. Expérimentations, tâtonnements et échecs en contexte colonial et impérial (de l’Antiquité à nos jours)

    Dans la première partie du XVIIe siècle, il était demandé aux agents de l’East India Company de produire des rapports précis détaillant leurs réussites, mais également et surtout leurs échecs. Jusqu’au XXe siècle, les puissances coloniales et impériales s’intéressent de la même manière à la façon dont leurs projets peuvent être concrétisés – leurs conquêtes étant le fruit d’une analyse et d’une adaptation locale, à l’exemple des Néerlandais, qui au Japon parlèrent de roi et non de République pour rendre leur fonctionnement compréhensible pour la population. Ces observations de terrain devaient être centralisées afin de permettre le développement du projet colonial ou impérial, c’est-à-dire un projet de domination d’autres États ou de territoires fondée sur des structures de gouvernement locales. Comme l’a souligné David Armitage, l’élaboration de ces stratégies de domination se fait suivant le modèle monarchique européen, et transforme ce modèle en retour

    The Archaeology of Conflicts

    This issue of Bellica journal aims to bring together articles dealing with the archaeology of conflicts in a broad chronological perspective ranging from the earliest periods of time to the 20th century. The goal of the collection is to reflect upon and to trace the development of a trend that began three decades ago in the field of archeology and which has witness unprecedented growth since then. The increase in the number of archaeological sites corresponds to a strong institutional and social demands. This is particularly the case when it comes to the conflicts of the twentieth century, but in fact the entire chronological spectrum is concerned by this new trend. The archaeology of conflicts has also greatly contributed to the development of war studies in the broadest sense of the term.

    Pluralizing Hospital Histories

    Charity, Resilience, and Transformation in the Longue Durée

In terms of epoch and space, the selection of papers will be as broad and open as possible. A special temporal focus will be placed on the dynamics of the European-Mediterranean late Middle Ages with their specific framework conditions for the emergence of hospitals.

    Asia in the mirror: self-representations, self-narratives, and perception of the other

    The 21st century has been defined as the “Asian century”, a new global phase after the European and the American centuries. We invite scholars working in a range of disciplinary fields including literature, linguistics, history, and cultural studies to submit proposals pertaining, but not limited, to the following research questions: What is Asia from a cultural point of view? How has Asia represented itself in its diversity and/or to different cultures? How has Asia represented other cultures? How have other cultures represented Asia? How have contacts between Asia and other cultures shaped the continent? What is the role of postcolonial and decolonial approaches in enhancing our understanding of Asia and its entanglements?

    Mining Mobilities across the globe

    Labour, Science, and Knowledge circulation in Mining (15th-21st century)

    The fifth conference of the European Labour History Network (ELHN) will explore how mining mobility and knowledge circulation have played a pivotal role in extractive industries worldwide. The movement of workers, technologies, and knowledge has been mediated by state authorities, corporations, and subcontractors through alluring and forced forms of recruitment. Alongside these trajectories, men and women from neighbouring and distant territories moved to newly reopened mines to search for new deposits and improve their social and economic conditions.

    Le sens littéral entre mondes chrétiens et mondes musulmans (VIIe-XVe siècles)

    En pointant du doigt le « littéralisme » ou le « fondamentalisme » de tel ou tel mouvement religieux, l’actualité met volontiers sur le devant de la scène la notion de sens littéral des textes sacrés, qu’il soit revendiqué comme le seul sens authentique ou dénoncé comme une simplification abusive. Le colloque se donne pour objet non pas toutes les thématiques liées au littéralisme, mais bien l’explicitation des sens du sens littéral. Les propositions attendues porteront donc sur la place de ce sens littéral dans le questionnement herméneutique.

It intends to promote study on underrepresented parts of the medieval world, broadly construed, as well as articles that examine interconnections across regions and cultures. Proposals for essays in english are warmly welcomed on the topic “borders, the elements, and the environment”.
