Tax resistance in the Roman world

L’impôt est aussi vieux que les sociétés et la résistance à l’impôt, aussi vieux que lui. Dans un empire comme celui de Rome, des centaines de peuples contribuent au financement de l’Etat ; des centaines de peuples riches de leur propre histoire, de leur propre culture, de leur propre manière de se représenter la fiscalité. Dans ce colloque, des spécialistes venus du monde entier examineront les causes, les temporalités, les modalités et les conséquences des diverses formes de refus de l’impôt romain, qu’il provienne des citoyens ou des provinciaux, dans un contexte économique, social, culturel, politique ou religieux. Les présentations permettront de questionner les rapports de consentement et de contrainte entre le pouvoir central et les divers sujets de Rome et de comprendre ce qui a permis l’exceptionnelle stabilité d’un empire si durable.

Feeding urban territories in North Africa

Crossed perspectives from Algeria and Egypt

This collective volume explores urban food supply systems in North Africa, with a particular focus on Algeria and Egypt, where rapid processes of metropolization and megalopolization intensify pressures on food resources. Through a territorially grounded approach, the book aims to examine the challenges of food security in cities facing urban sprawl, loss of agricultural land, rising food demand, and increasing dependence on imports. The objective is to provide a cross-cutting analysis of territorial dynamics, supply chains, urban–rural reconfigurations, and the limitations of public policies in addressing urban food systems. Contributions are expected to adopt empirical, comparative, or modelling approaches, addressing themes such as urban planning, multi-level governance, food justice, short supply chains, and the regulation of informal economies, all within a broader perspective of strengthening the resilience of urban food systems.

Terrains criminologiques africains

The African continent remains "marginal" on the international stage of criminological research. Despite the development of academic programs, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Côte d’Ivoire, and the existence of specialized journals, African publications enjoy limited visibility. This lack of visibility can be explained by the standardization of international research, the weakness of research funding, linguistic boundaries, and the scarcity of exchanges between paradigmatic traditions. While anglophone research mostly adopts an etiological or institutional approach (prisons, violence, corruption), francophone work, influenced by interactionism, explores more diversified topics: green criminology, economic criminology, extreme violence, land conflicts, problematic practices of public agents... Numerous studies, although not identified as “criminological,” also contribute to the discipline due to the relevance of their theoretical frameworks. This issue therefore aims to make these African research contexts visible, to go beyond disciplinary boundaries, and to contribute to the conceptual and methodological renewal of a criminology in the making.

Graphic and audio-visual representations of extreme violence intended for a young audience

Since the 1980s, graphic productions (comics, graphic novels, albums) or audiovisual productions (animated films, documentary fiction, documentaries for children or adolescents, etc.) have experienced a certain renewed interest, thanks, among other things, to the combination of narrative and graphics, which allows readers to move from one level of reading to another, thus feeding two distinct but complementary levels of reading. We propose to look at all these productions (graphic and audio-visual) that are aimed at children and adolescents to tell them about the past and the violence that affected their parents or grandparents, or indirectly the history of their family or community, or, more broadly, their country.

Is there no possible consolation?

Paradoxes, limits and failures of a controversial concept from Antiquity to the present day

This conference is part of a research project, one of the outcomes of which is the publication of Bibliothèque idéale de la Consolation de l'Antiquité au XVII^e siècle (Paris, Les Belles Lettres, 2025). The aim is to cross disciplinary perspectives in order to better understand the phenomenon of consolation, in its historical, social, religious and psychological dimensions.

The Accident Beyond Risk. An Anthropology of Interruptions

Revue « Terrain » n° 86

This issue of Terrain proposes to explore forms of accidentality that lie outside industrial and insurance-based norms of the “risk society.” Through ethnographic, historical, or documentary inquiries, the aim is to approach the accident as a lens revealing social tensions, material imbalances, technical arrangements, or subterranean affects. Far from being a mere rupture, the accident here becomes a heuristic operator—a revelator of world orders.

Health, agriculture and food in island territories: ecological, political and social issues

This dossier for the journal Etudes Caribéennes aims to examine, from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, the tensions and alternatives that exist within island agri-food systems. It is aimed at anyone working on issues of food sovereignty, political ecology, environmental justice, public health or the promotion of local knowledge in island contexts – whether French-speaking, Spanish-speaking, English-speaking or Creole-speaking. We welcome contributions based on rigorous field research, open to multidisciplinarity and attentive to the social, environmental and cultural dynamics specific to island worlds.

Troubling Desires: Queer and Trans Approaches to Medieval Art

Papers are invited for this session which aims to foster exchanges between those who work on gender and sexuality in the field of medieval art history. It is premised on the idea that the tools required to study premodern sexuality and gender in and as related to the visual arts are not necessarily those that have been so central to modern and contemporary histories of these topics. As such, this session aims to present a series of case studies that offer new approaches to works of art and explore medieval configurations of sexuality and gender that are distinct from and complementary to contemporary studies in this field.

Sport, Politics, and Society

According to some specialists, sport is a universal phenomenon which, in various forms, has always existed. For others, the existence of sport in Antiquity cannot be envisaged because, at that time, it was a cultural practice with a strong religious dimension. Whatever these debates, sport can be defined as an activity practiced alone or in a group, an activity requiring physical qualities, strength, skill, reflexes, endurance, and moral qualities. Practitioners observe rules specific to each sport, exercise for their own pleasure, their health or compete in competitions. This activity is partially institutionalized: many sportsmen and women join specialized clubs, affiliated to federations that define regulations and organize official competitions, Olympic Games, world, national and regional championships, tournaments, grand prix, land or sea races, etc.

Health, Agriculture and Food in Island Territories: Ecological, Political and Social Issues

This dossier aims to examine the specific configurations of island agri-food systems through an interdisciplinary approach combining geography, sociology, anthropology, public health, political ecology and political science. It focuses equally on agricultural policies and social practices, representations and conflicts of use, and the knowledge circulating in island agricultural communities. It welcomes contributions on all island territories, whether French-speaking or not, independent or not, in a postcolonial or dependent context.

How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?

In this call for papers, we would like to focus specifically on the particular case of cities that have historically developed through multiple waves of migration. We are thinking not only of the former working-class towns in north-eastern Paris, but also of border towns that have found themselves on the front line of migration reception during previous flare-ups of conflict in neighbouring countries.

Mourning and Memory in Latin America. Social Emergencies, Narrative and Artistic Elaborations

« Amerika » numéro 31

Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un élan démocratique se fait jour en Amérique latine. Il s’exprime au travers d’élections, mais se manifeste aussi dans des mouvements sociaux ou des révoltes. En lien avec les tensions générées par la guerre froide qui favorisent les coups d’État dans différents pays, des dictatures se mettent toutefois en place dès les années 60. Trouvant leur justification dans la doctrine de la « sécurité nationale », ces dictatures sont fondées sur le contrôle social, la persécution politique et l’usage massif d’une violence étatique. Mais des stratégies de résistance se développent, variables selon les contextes politiques et socio-économiques des pays. Quelles mémoires, artistiques et narratives, découlent de ces événements ?

Reflection at Work: Representation, Perception and the Making of Light in Art

Depuis quelques années, le développement des Sensory Studies en histoire de l’art tend à réintroduire la prise en compte des perceptions sensorielles dans l’analyse des œuvres (par exemple Constance Claassen pour le toucher, Erika Wicky pour l’odorat, Marta Battisti pour l’ouïe). En s’inscrivant dans ces approches, le workshop « reflets », qui se tiendra à l’INHA (Paris) les 22 et 23 janvier 2026, vise à appréhender de façon interdisciplinaire la question du reflet dans l’art du XVI^e au XVIII^e siècle.

“Community Healthcare” in the Americas: (dis)continuities and reappropriations

Revue « IdeAs » n°28 (automne 2026)

Community health, which refers to a set of practices and intervention models grounded in social participation and a promotional-preventive approach, began to emerge during the 1960s as an alternative way of delivering healthcare. The American continent was one of the incubators of this approach, drawing on liberation theology and popular education movements in Latin America, the Free Clinics and the Neighborhood Health Clinics in the United States, and the interaction between popular movements and the State during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. This issue of the journal IdeAs proposes a continental approach to community health.

Teaching Design Today : Practices, Knowledge, and Reconfigured Institutions

Ce colloque vise à interroger les mutations contemporaines qui affectent l’enseignement du design, dans un contexte marqué par des transformations profondes — sociétales, écologiques, numériques, culturelles — appelant à repenser les cadres pédagogiques, les formes de transmission, les articulations entre théorie et pratique, et les liens entre école, recherche et société. Les trois axes du colloque interrogent les fondements de l’enseignement du design face aux mutations contemporaines. Le premier explore la formation à la pensée critique, à l’éthique et à la responsabilité sociale et environnementale. Le second valorise la transdisciplinarité et les pratiques collaboratives entre disciplines. Le troisième s’ouvre aux apports du numérique, aux pratiques émergentes et à la recherche-création comme moteurs de renouvellement pédagogique.
