Intimate Colonies: Family Memories of Colonial Africa in Belgium and Switzerland - Postdoctoral fellowship in Brussels

Le projet Intimate Colonies (IC) place la dimension intime et familiale de la question coloniale au cœur de son analyse, dans le but d’apporter des éclairages originaux sur les significations et les enjeux des héritages et des mémoires coloniales dans les sociétés européennes contemporaines. Le projet se distingue des travaux existants en réunissant, au sein d’un même cadre analytique, les mémoires coloniales des familles issues des sociétés colonisées et de celles associées aux sociétés colonisatrices, reflétant ainsi la réalité multiculturelle des sociétés européennes partagées par ces populations, plutôt que d’aborder un seul versant de ce système relationnel.

Call for papers - Representation

The 2026 NECS Conference will tackle the processes through which invisibilization occurs, from pre-cinematographic apparatuses to contemporary screen and media industries, and how these dynamics concretely affect today’s professional landscapes. It will also consider how resisting and alternative spaces continue to redefine what can be seen, by whom, under what conditions, and how the gradual inclusion of new media and the reinvention of old ones have expanded – or restricted – the horizons of visibility.

International Symposium on Information Sciences & Intelligent Systems

3IS

The International Symposium on Information Sciences and Intelligent Systems (3IS) is dedicated to the scientific, technological, and societal dimensions of information sciences, especially in relation with the recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the crossroads of archiving, library and information sciences, digital heritage, data science, computational linguistics, ethics, governance, and pedagogy, the conference explores both classical and emergent trends in information sciences in an interdisciplinary perspective and how intelligent systems reshape the creation, organization, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge across disciplines.

The Multiple and the One Assemblages and Decompositions in Medieval Texts and Images

Ce colloque souhaite interroger les modalités selon lesquelles le Moyen Âge a pensé, articulé et transformé le rapport entre multiplicité et unité. Les pratiques des auteurs, des scribes, des artistes, des commanditaires et des publics s’inscrivent dans un champ où la mise en forme du savoir, de la mémoire et de l’art passe constamment par des opérations d’assemblage, de sélection et de hiérarchisation. Nous réfléchirons à cette problématiques selon une perspective foncièrement interdisciplinaire.

Sculpture and Trompe l'oeil in European Ceramics, from Bernard Palissy to the Present Day

The conference, dedicated to European ceramics, aims to address issues relating to figurative sculpture in the round, to relief sculpture and to trompe l'oeil, all in the medium of ceramics. This includes the imitation of other materials, such as wood or precious stones, and the mimetic representation of animals and plants. Sculpture and trompe l'oeil are recurring themes but have been little studied in a comprehensive manner in European ceramic art, not even in Art Deco ceramics, which frequently use sculptural forms, both in tableware and in purely decorative pieces.

Sociability and the Travelling Letter

Message, Medium, Mobility in Europe and the Colonies in the Long Eighteenth Century (1650-1850)

The long eighteenth century is widely recognisedby scholars as a golden age of letter writing, characterised by the expansion of transnational and transatlantic correspondence networks among the elites. Particularly in Britain, this period witnessed an unprecedented enthusiasm for epistolary exchange, which led to a proliferation of publications—ranging from scholarly productions such as theoretical treatises and letter-writing manuals, to literary works, whether fictional, sentimental, general, or biographical. These developments contributed to a redefinition of epistolary conventions, narrative models, and often gendered representations of letter writing.

Behind the Cloak of Anonymity: Ethical Agency and Cultural Narratives in the Age of Digital Innovation

At first glance, the concept of “anonymity” may seem simple: any actor who acts without revealing their identity is acting anonymously. However, this superficial simplicity hides considerable technological, social, and political complexity. What conditions make anonymity necessary for expression, cooperation, and judgment? The cultural, ethical, and narrative dimensions of “anonymity” in contemporary digital environments affect both administrative and creative life. With a perspective that combines the techniques of law with those of sociology, politicalscience, cultural studies, and narratology, this project seeks to uncover the cultural transformations that underpin “anonymity’ in practice, through its new or emerging instruments and narrative features.

“Scientiae”: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World

Building on Scientiae’s interdisciplinary legacy, and its study of the production and circulation of knowledge, we will underscore the interconnectedness of regions, periods, cultures, and material and intellectual traditions in the period between 1400 and 1800. Although centred around the emergence of modern natural science, Scientiae is intended for scholars working in any area of early-modern intellectual culture. The Scientiae network encompasses the long Renaissance period and seeks to integrate historiographical reflection into an approach that, since its creation, has been firmly rooted in epistemology and the history of science, as well as intellectual history, and the practice of knowledge in dialogue.

“Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya

The trilingual conference “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya seeks to address a still relatively unexplored topic: the study of Italian communities abroad, with particular attention to the Mediterranean world in the period between national unification (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911). At the core of this reflection lies the close, and not merely chronological, relationship between the migratory dynamics that characterized the early decades of unified Italy and the rise of colonial expansionism. The seminar therefore aims to investigate this connection through the specific lens offered by the Italian presence in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire before the occupation of Libya.
