Improving the quality of working life

“Laboreal”, July 2025 edition

Over the last twenty years, there has been a proliferation of research and interventions whose purpose, in contrast to the strict profitability objective of ‘quality circles’, focuses on the quality of working life. They have often been designated by the acronym QWL. This designation authorizes a wide range of methodologies and actions and there have been proposals structured considering diagnoses and interventions that were based on the workers’ point of view and on what happens in reality at work situations. In these approaches, the tradition of activity ergonomics and work psychology once again demonstrate the wealth of methodological tools and intervention models. Laboreal invites researchers to present studies addressing this issue, in particular those that present detailed field experiences.

It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

Médiamerica 2024-25

Communication, Information, Politics and Culture in the U.S.

Médiamerica is a seminar on American news media organized by researchers working in France. Its aim is to cultivate research on the links between communication, politics, culture, and the processes by which information is produced, circulated, and given form, focusing on the North American context. Médiamerica brings together researchers with varied backgrounds to explore these issues from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The seminar offers a space for scholarly reflection and debate, to consider emergent phenomena in news and communication, as well as the ways in which the academic community on both sides of the Atlantic conceptualize such phenomena. This initiative seeks to build bridges between anglophone studies and communication studies, encouraging dialogue between different methodological approaches and benefiting from an intercultural perspective.

Insects, “bichos” and other “bugs” in the literature of the Americas (19th to 21st centuries)

“Amerika” n°29

This call aims to bring together works that question the representation of insects and other “bichos” in literature aimed primarily at young people, in the Americas. Scrutinized especially through the prism of European culture, the insect appears small, repugnant, sometimes useful (the bee), sometimes an example of tenacity and courage (the ant). What about its place in the American space? Do indigenous cultures deploy discourses and images referring to a unique relationship to the world of “bugs”, different from or linked to those of European cultures? How does the study of “bugs” allow us to deepen our knowledge of the relationship with nature in the Americas and to identify avenues for educational action based on works published for young people?

Iron Curtains or Artistic Gates?

Communism and Cultural Diplomacy in the Global South (1945–1991 and Beyond)

This workshop challenges traditional East-West Cold War narratives by examining the cultural interactions between communist Europe and the Global South. We will primarily focus on art, culture, and heritage as sources of new insights into historical narratives. We ask the following questions: How can artistic expression contribute to the rethinking of historical narratives? How have political circumstances shaped artistic and cultural production, and vice versa? What were the underlying power dynamics? And what are the contemporary legacies of such interactions?

Herrmann/Horner: two Hollywood giants in the service of the emotional?

This international symposium pays tribute to two Hollywood giants, Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975), who died on December 24, 1975 during post-production of Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver, and James Horner (1953-2015), who was accidentally killed on June 22, 2015 while piloting one of his jets. This singular way of arousing visceral emotion or probing affects offers a possible convergence between these two Hollywood giants. Following the example of the emotional register, we could examine the various aspects of Bernard Herrmann's work that have received little attention, or focus in depth on the constituent elements of James Horner's style. These are just a few of the avenues open to us, but as this is first and foremost a tribute, the paths to be taken are multiple, depending on what the participants wish to highlight.

Tropical fruit sectors undergoing change

How are stakeholders in tropical fruit export sectors participating in and adapting to these changes in terms of market flows and consumption habits? How are relations between stakeholders being redefined? And what are the spatial implications of those changes? This call for papers welcomes studies based on what the French academia refers to as the “approche filière” but we are also interested in papers favoring a global value chain approach, this broad view of value chain taking into account the power relationships between upstream and downstream players, whatever the scale. This call for papers welcomes studies research into diverse geographical areas, based primarily on field surveys, and stemming from a range of disciplines studying relations to space.

New Perspectives on Travel

Cultural Networks, Knowledge, Circulations, and Material Practices (19th and 20th Centuries)

In the last twenty years, there have been different approaches to the topic of travel from various disciplinary fields and perspectives. This symposium aims for a multidisciplinary approach to the topic of travel, understood as the deliberate movement of an individual through space, without being physically or psychologically forced or coerced. This symposium aims to be a space of dialogue and reflection about travel, its narratives, and its written and visual depictions. We aim to foster new approaches to travel understood in its specificity vis a vis the articulation of a disciplinary field (rather than its traditional understanding as a subsidiary object to other fields of study).

Passer les canons en revue

Les échanges culturels dans les revues littéraires (domaines francophones, anglophones et germanophones), XIXe-XXe sièces

Ce colloque a pour but d’étudier le rôle des revues dans l’évolution des canons littéraires et artistiques au XIX^e et au XX^e siècle dans les domaines francophones, anglophones et germanophones. Si les forces de réaction « trouvent des organes puissants auprès de véritables gendarmes médiatiques » (Diaz, 2014) comme les revues dominantes et institutionnelles, les forces d’évolution voire de révolution usent elles aussi de l’arme médiatique qu’est la revue. Nous aimerions proposer des journées de réflexion sur les échanges culturels au sein des revues, dans une perspective transnationale, translittéraire et pluriséculaire.

Bodies in Action Films and TV Series in the Digital Era

The idea for this conference arose from the renewed attention paid to the profilmic body in US-American audiovisual action productions since the mid-2010s, at a time when the transition to all-digital production favored the hegemony of other adventure genres centered on the prowess of virtual bodies. In the 1990s, action movies were largely characterized by the centrality of the physical body in motion, confronted with extraordinary constraints, and carried out by actors who performed the majority of their own stunts.

La démocratie en Amérique latine: état des lieux et perspectives

2024 vient clore un nouveau « super cycle électoral » en Amérique latine. En effet, en trois ans, treize élections présidentielles se sont déroulées dans onze pays et cinq devraient avoir lieu d’ici la fin de l’année, dont certaines très attendues (Mexique, Venezuela, Paraguay). Trente ans après l’ère des dictatures, la généralisation de l’exercice du droit de vote ainsi que la tenue régulière d’élections libres et compétitives dans la plupart des pays de la région semblent donc corroborer l’optimisme de la thèse de Francés Hagopian et Scott Mainwaring sur les transitions démocratiques latino-américaines et l’ancrage de la démocratie. Or, malgré toutes ces avancées, plusieurs indicateurs invitent à la prudence quant à l’évolution du processus de démocratisation dans la région. Au regard de ces éléments, ce colloque entend entamer une réflexion sur l’état de la démocratie en Amérique latine, ses perspectives et les enjeux qui y sont liés à travers l’étude de cas concrets.

Generations and Generational Time in the United States During the Long Nineteenth Century

This conference will take place at Lille University, June 12-13, 2025, and will explore generations, generational thinking, and generational time in the United States during the long nineteenth century. In the wake of the Revolution the very idea of generations meant freedom from the parent country, and the possibility of taking turns to shape the nation. But generationality also implies a linear experience of time and logics of transmission which are not available to many oppressed groups, in the context of slavery in particular. Our goal is to provide an opportunity to investigate modes of relationality, kinship, or fellow-feeling throughout the nineteenth century while questioning and complicating the "generational model." We welcome contributions on the literature, the culture and the history of the United States in the long nineteenth century.
