“Making place” in the contemporary city

The interest of this issue of Territoires en mouvement Journal lies in grasping the making of a place as a plural dynamic, bringing to light the processes at work in the social production of urban spaces, depending on the diachronic and synchronic scales and the situations under observation. The aim here is to ask researchers from all disciplines to narrow their analytical focus and use place as a tool for describing and understanding contemporary cities. Every place is unique, but every place is part of the history of cities and urban development.

Choròi parálleloi. Pathways on Dance and Ancient Performance: Philology and Contemporary Visions

The International Conference Choròi parálleloi. Pathways on Dance and Ancient Performance: Philology and Contemporary Visions will accept work proposals and outcomes reflecting the multiple research lines in the field of dance in the Classical and Late Antiquity as well as in the Middle Ages, taking into account recent philological acquisitions (literary and documentary sources, exegesis of Christian texts) and contemporary investigation methodologies. Our goal is to project historical-philological studies onto a terrain of dialogue encompassing performance and performance practice studies, both reconstructive and 'exegetical' through the incorporation of ancient myths.

Forgery, Fraud, Deception and Dissimulation in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean

Fake news, fake flags, fake papers... All were legion in the premodern Mediterranean. Whether or not this place of islands and enclaves, cultural archipelagos and fragmented sovereignties was especially conducive to dissimulation, it is an ideal place for studying different forms of forgery, fraud and self-fashioning.

Residue and Oblivion: Manufacturing Toxic Legacies

Cross-reflections based on the exemplary case of asbestos. 20th - 21st centuries

Several studies in environmental history and the sociology of science have already shown how, regarding asbestos as other toxic substances, the narrative of the sudden “awareness” of their harmful effects was a fiction, actually and that a number of stakeholders were well aware of asbestos pathogenic effects as early as the early 20^th century. The circulation and appropriation of this knowledge did not take place in linear fashion. Now, what are the possible trajectories of a toxic substance after it has been banned? This is the question this conference aims to answer.

The Culture of Suspicion: Creating Suspects in the Age of Revolutions

The workshop will examine the impact of suspicion in the age of the Atlantic Revolutions (from around 1770 to 1830) in Europe and its colonial territories. We invite contributions that focus on the question of how individuals or groups of people became suspects of hostility towards the existing monarchical or revolutionary order, and thus potentially subversive. Contributions may deal with the narrative construction of suspicion as well as the practical surveillance measures and juridical proceedings that were used against the suspects.

Renewing the Social Contract

The Challenge of Inclusivity and Democratic Government in Social Contract Theory

Social contract approaches seek to explain the origins of political obligations but are also recognized as tools of social change. In the face of classic social contract philosophers, who maintained that normative legitimacy may be grounded in hypothetical agreement, recent accusations of exclusivity and anthropocentrism have challenged contract theories’ relevance. And yet, in spite of these challenges, contract theories have experienced a resurgence. This conference seeks to engage with this second wave of theories and reflect on the challenges of inclusivity and democratic government within contract theory from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Crises and Preaching

Lexis, framing, timings, 19th‒21st century in the Middle East

Is preaching consubstantial with crisis? Did the different religious traditions present in the Middle East come to grip with the notion of crisis during the contemporary period? This workshop examines the similarities and divergences between preaching endeavours by the different religious traditions and the transformations in religious discourse in the Middle East from the end of the 19th century onwards. Through a comparative and diachronic analysis, it aims to identify what "constitutes a crisis" for particular religious actors at a given moment in the contemporary history of the Middle East (e.g. military defeat, feelings of inferiority vis-à-vis Europe, demographic decline of a given religious group, secularisation of institutions, rise of atheism, etc.)

Le fascisme dans les urnes

Imaginaires politiques, sociologie électorale, pratiques militantes. (Europe, 1918-1945)

Le présent colloque propose de relancer le chantier de la place du vote dans l’accession des mouvements fascistes au pouvoir – ou dans leurs aspirations à le faire – dans l’idée d’éclairer la place de la dynamique électorale dans la faillite des démocraties et leur processus de désintégration. Le cadre chronologique creste celui, strict et traditionnel, des années 1918-1945, où se multiplièrent, partout en Europe, des mouvements fascistes et où s’installèrent dans certains pays, des dictatures fascistes ou des gouvernements autoritaires comportant une composante fasciste. Trois directions principales seront explorées : le programme politique du fascisme, l’histoire matérielle des campagnes électorales et du vote, enfin la sociologie électorale.
