Thinking from the Dual – Ontology, Theology and the Humanities through the Lens of the “Muthannā”
This international conference explores the philosophical and theological implications of the Arabic grammatical dual (al-muthannā). Situated between the paradigms of unity and multiplicity that have long structured philosophical thought, the dual offers a distinctive relational structure in which two terms are held together without fusion or hierarchy. Taking this linguistic form as a conceptual starting point, the conference investigates the possibility of thinking relation itself as originary. Particular attention will be given to the concept of ʿahd (covenant, pact, commitment) as a relational event in Islamic theology and beyond. Bringing together philosophers, theologians, and scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the conference seeks to open a field of inquiry devoted to the ontological, theological, and anthropological significance of the dual in contemporary thought.

Translating Comics: Between Bubbles, Cultures, and Constraints in East Asia
The conference examines the challenges of comic translation at the intersection of literature, visual semiotics, and culture. It addresses difficulties posed by spatial text layout, as well as translating humor, puns, cultural references, and typographic effects. Editorial norms and censorship across different cultural contexts are also considered. The focus is on translations to or from Asian languages, particularly Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (manhua, manga, manhwa). Issues of adaptation, localization, and graphic constraints, along with the roles of editors and translators, will be discussed. Case studies of published or ongoing translations will illustrate these challenges.

Indian Transnational Families in Northern Ireland by Anik Nandi (Woxsen University)
The Case of Indian Transnational Families in Northern Ireland (UK): Intergenerational Transmission or the Anxiety of a Cultural Erasure
Immigration waves globally have enriched linguistic and cultural landscapes through the spread of Heritage Languages (HL). In Northern Ireland, the Indian community, one of the longest-established ethnic minorities since the 1920s, represents a vital yet often overlooked part of the region's diversity. While local policy focuses on Irish and Ulster-Scots, the linguistic dynamics of migrant families remain under-researched.

Sībawayh et les savoirs de son temps. Influences, dialogues, critiques & héritages
Revue « MIDÉO », n°43 (2028)
Le dossier thématique du MIDÉO 43 (2028) est consacré à Sībawayh et aux savoirs de son temps, en replaçant le Kitāb dans les réseaux intellectuels, linguistiques et religieux de l’islam classique. Il vise à analyser les traditions et influences – arabes et éventuellement extra-arabes – qui ont nourri son œuvre, ainsi que ses apports conceptuels et méthodologiques dans la fondation de la grammaire arabe. L’événement entend également étudier les critiques et controverses suscitées par son travail, ainsi que sa postérité et son impact sur d’autres disciplines, telles que la logique, le droit ou l’exégèse, afin d’inscrire Sībawayh dans une histoire transversale des savoirs.

Surviving in and Through Arab World Art and Literature
Body, Memory and Affective Regimes
This volume explores the concept of survivance in contemporary Arab art and literature, focusing on how artistic and literary practices embody, sustain, and transmit memory, emotion, and affective experience. Survivance is approached here not merely as biological or material survival, but as the ongoing persistence, transformation, and circulation of cultural, emotional, and collective traces across generations—through practices that engage bodies, perception, and affective registers.

Les mots des arts et les arts en mots : dire, écrire et penser l’expérience artistique
Le colloque vise à engager la réflexion sur la mise en discours de l’expérience artistique, autant du point de vue de sa production que de sa réception. Dans une conception élargie intégrant les diverses formes de pratique artistique, il sera question de s’interroger sur la manière dont le langage devient à la fois support de représentation de l’art, espace de réflexion et d’analyse, voire terrain de création artistique.

This conference explores how political literature reveals the intersections of language, identity, and power through the lens of language contact. It examines how political realities shape and are shaped by linguistic practices, from laws that support or constrain languages to the lived experiences of displacement and belonging. Political literature encapsulates and brings to light how the political permeates our everyday lives and situations, using a range of literary devices and genres as tools to share ideas and observations, thus actively taking part into shaping societies and individuals.

Mémoires palestiniennes. Circulation, transmission, création
Revue Inter-lignes, numéro 36
La culture palestinienne est marquée par le lien étroit avec les notions de mémoire / mémoires et de transmission. Ces mémoires s’expriment à travers une pluralité de récits, de pratiques et de formes d’expression (qu’elles soient artistiques, patrimoniales, linguistiques ou encore sociales). Elles se matérialisent dans des traces visibles et invisibles (objets, archives photographiques, récits oraux, chants traditionnels, pratiques artisanales) mais aussi dans les œuvres contemporaines qui réinterprètent et contribuent à perpétuer ces héritages.

Image et représentation du livre en Chine
Notre colloque vise à interroger la place du livre en tant qu’objet, en tant que vecteur de savoir et en tant que symbole dans la culture et dans la société chinoises. Il sera notamment intéressant de remonter à l’époque des grands Canons confucéens, mais aussi de s’intéresser à l’historiographie, de retracer les grands travaux de compilation sous les dernières dynasties impériales, ou encore de raconter les tentatives pour sauver les livres lors des campagnes de destruction des vieilleries sous la Révolution culturelle, et enfin de compiler différents récits qui rendent hommage au livre.

Call for papers - Representation
This international conference aims to explore the central role of culture and art in the reconstruction and regeneration of the social fabric, through a reinterpretation of trauma as a driver of creation and preservation of cultural memory and as a form of resistance to the politics of erasure. We encourage papers dealing with the interconnections between trauma, memory and resistance in multiple artistic languages to highlight the role of art in reinterpreting trauma, making it a source of memory and thus a basis for social change. The focus will be on the artistic production, especially during the 21st century, created by Palestinian artists about Palestine, including those in the diaspora.

1995: a “Black Box” for Reflections on Contemporary Japan
Revue « Ebisu. Études japonaises », numéro 64
The year 1995 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of contemporary Japan. The country suffered two traumatic shocks in rapid succession: the Kobe earthquake in January and the Tokyo subway sarin attacks carried out by the Aum Shinrikyō cult in March. It was also struck by an economic crisis following the collapse of the speculative bubble in the early 1990. Thirty years later, this issue brings together transdisciplinary perspectives—from case and comparative studies to longue durée analysis—to present a renewed understanding of 1995, reassess its importance and singularity, and confirm or challenge previous work.

Translation Networks in the Decolonising World, 1950s–1970s
This conference seeks to redress narratives that often overlook translation’s role in shaping political and cultural transformation by foregrounding the networks of translation that enabled dialogue between communities, intellectuals, and revolutionary movements across Africa, Asia, and Latin America between the 1950s and 1970s. It aims to explore how translation practices facilitated the circulation of anti-colonial ideas, shaped notions of identity and sovereignty, and influenced the formation of new political and cultural realities in the decolonising world.
