    10th Academic days on Open Government & Digital Issues

    One of the goals of the open government process is to promote greater transparency and encourage citizen participation and collaboration in government decision-making, but also to promote government accountability. In this perspective, it is important to emphasize the role of citizens, civil society and stakeholders in decision-making to improve government policies. Since the 2nd edition, the Academic days expressly refer to “digital issues” in the title of the international conference, as digitalization is a major issue for open governments in the information society. Thus, speakers can deliver speeches focused on open government issues, on digital issues or concerning both open government and digital issues.

The aim is to enrich contemporary discussions with insights from Antiquity.

    Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control

    This workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today's 'detention archipelagos' in migration regimes. By the term “internment” - therefore declined in the plural - we mean all forms of imprisonment, forced segregation such as confinement, containment, encampment, concentration, etc. that aim to remove/enclose individuals or entire populations in prisons, camps, places otherwise adapted for this purpose.

    Les mondes arabes au prisme des émotions

    The Arab Worlds Through the Lens of Emotions

    This call for papers invites scholars from various disciplines and countries across the region to take stock of ongoing research, at a time when emotional currents are particularly in- tense. It seeks to explore how emotions unfold, circulate, and are regulated or instrumenta- lized, in an era where their digital expression plays a decisive role in shaping the understanding and representation of contemporary conflicts. The symposium aims to bring together researchers who analyze emotions from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, with particular attention to their relational dimension—taking into account the flows and confrontations between individuals, collectives, and institutions—as well as to their material, temporal, and spatial embeddedness.

    Connecting Courts and Coasts : Trade, Knowledge, and Cultural Networks in the Western Indian Ocean

    From Post-Classical India to the Late Mughal Era

    This conference explores the multifaceted networks of exchange that characterized the Western Indian Ocean from the Post-Classical period through the late Mughal era (approximately aligning with the Medieval to Early Modern periods in the West). The maritime connections between South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa created intricate webs of commercial, intellectual, and cultural exchanges that profoundly shaped the region's historical development and fostered a deeper appreciation of societies across space and time.

    Democracy at the University

    Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World

     This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

    Calibration / Étalonnage : des mots aux mondes

    Anthropologie linguistique, concepts du terrain, concepts du champ

    Linguistic anthropology originated via a focus on language use. Now language has two key features: It is only ever encountered in use, that is, processually. And it is forever the medium of its own explication, that is, it is reflexive. To grapple with language, one accordingly needs concepts that possess these features. As is well known, linguistic anthropology arrived at such concepts through its grounding in Peircean semiotics. Another basis for the sub-discipline’s concepts has been the Boasian comparativist tradition of language study. Continuing its exploration of the latter, this conference proposes a focus on the concept of calibration, first taken up by Benjamin Lee Whorf.

    Arts et Naissant : Approche interdisciplinaire des savoirs du vivant

    Ce projet de recherche souhaite ouvrir à une multiplicité de regards pour inviter à penser les modalités de figuration, représentation et expérimentation du naître dans les arts vivants, en dialogue fécond avec d’autres champs disciplinaires, afin d’impulser l’élaboration de nouveaux savoirs et pratiques pour penser la maïeutique dans la société, au prisme du regard artistique. À travers les différentes sessions d’études programmées dans et hors des cadres universitaires (CHU, crèches, associations, etc.), nous mènerons à la fois une réflexion d’ordre épistémologique tout en impulsant également un espace d’observation, d’écoute et d’analyse.
