    Long-term, shared experiences: the experience of collective musical improvisation

    "Filigrane" Journal #31/2026

    Free collective improvisation is commonly presented as a practice that seeks to create a musical performance spontaneously by deliberately avoiding the use of an "explicit referent". In its absence, improvisers rely heavily on their experience to act and react in a performance context, constituted by different socialities, the acoustics of the venue and, more generally, the environment. In the context of a given ensemble that has been practicing regularly over a long period of time, this experience acquired through the events encountered is enriching, both individually and collectively. This experience can be described as leading to a state of "having lived a sufficiently rich life not to be surprised by an unexpected event". In the context of this call for papers, our aim is to carry out an in-depth exploration of the multiple facets of the notion of musical experience, based primarily on observation of the daily practice of improvisers, in public performance but also in rehearsal or in experimental laboratories.

    Courtyards and patios in the Mediterranean

    The courtyard or patio house, based on the intimate appropriation of a fragment of sky at the heart of the domestic space, is a major archetype of human habitation. Deeply rooted in Mediterranean traditions, it surprises with its longevity and its ability to generate unique expressions, shaped by the diversity of physical and cultural contexts. This archetype, which has spanned the centuries, from the ancient world to contemporary projects, continues to inspire architects, thinkers, and creators, and has regained particular relevance in light of the challenges of the 21st century, as contemporary issues invite us to rethink modes of dwelling.  To explore these dimensions, the conference adopts a multidisciplinary approach structured around four cross-cutting themes. It is aimed at a diverse range of profiles—architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, archaeologists, artists, writers, climatologists, etc.—drawing on scientific contributions, feedback from architects, and artistic expressions.

    Urban Transformation in a New Geopolitical Era?

    Nexus Thinking in Energy, Food, Ecological and Mobility Transition

    Energy, food and ecological system transitions are linked to climate and social issues, as the consequences of rising greenhouse gases and fossil fuel-related use have become the calling card of the Anthropocene, and social conflicts and democratic crises are on the rise. The UERA conference will be of particular interest to scholars interested in systemic perspectives that go beyond mere command and control or dependence on a fixed set of normative frameworks.

    “Qualitative Management Research Review” Journal - varia

    Dans le paysage académique des sciences de gestion, la recherche qualitative reste souvent marginalisée au profit de démarches quantitatives considérées comme plus rigoureuses ou plus générales. Pourtant, la complexité des phénomènes organisationnels contemporains appelle des approches capables de saisir la richesse des contextes, des significations et des expériences vécues. La recherche qualitative, par sa capacité à explorer en profondeur les dynamiques humaines et sociales à l’œuvre dans les organisations, offre une voie essentielle pour comprendre autrement les réalités managériales. C’est dans cet esprit que s’inscrit le numéro inaugural de la Revue de la Recherche Qualitative en Management – 2RQM, qui souhaite affirmer la légitimité scientifique, la diversité méthodologique et la fécondité théorique de la recherche qualitative.

    From gardening to landscaping, from La Quintinie to tomorrow.

    The transition from gardening to spatial design or planning, and vice versa, is a common issue in gardens and large parks, both historic and contemporary. The aim of this symposium is to bring together gardeners, historians, geographers, landscape architects, urban planners and other disciplines concerned with the art of gardening and landscape design, to examine and explore this transition between gardening and landscape. The 400th anniversary of the birth of Jean de La Quintinie (March 1st, 1626), designer and first gardener of the Potager du Roi, and the 50th anniversary of the creation of the Ecole nationale supérieure de paysage at the Potager du Roi (October 15th 1976) serve as catalysts.

    Rebels in diplomacy

    Singular political experiences on the international stage (15th-18th centuries)

    At the crossroads of these different fields, and following on from a first book devoted to this issue during the French Wars of Religion (published in 2022), the aim of our workshop  is to observe rebel  diplomacy in action. Attention will focus on the following questions, all of which aim to shed light on the grey zones of diplomacy, between marginality, normality and centrality, in which rebel mobilizations contributed to the ferment of international relations in the early modern era.

    Contemporary forms of money

    Revue « Anthropologie et développement »

    Depuis une quinzaine d’années, de nouvelles formes monétaires, en particulier numériques, structurent les agendas développementalistes : finance verte, paiement mobile, transferts conditionnés d’argent, crypto monnaies ou monnaie numérique de banque centrale. Si l’Afrique a longtemps été l’épicentre de la numérisation monétaire, l’Asie et l’Amérique latine ont expérimenté une croissance forte de ces modalités de paiement lors des dernières années. Ce numéro vise à étudier, à partir de données qualitatives, les logiques de gestion, de circulation et d’appropriation de ces nouvelles formes monétaires qui servent des projets divers (individuels, associatifs, politiques publiques), impliquent des acteurs extrêmement hétérogènes et s’insèrent dans des contextes où elles cohabitent avec des dynamiques anciennes.

    Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences

    The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.
