Invisible Actors in the Making of International Law (1750–2000)

This interdisciplinary conference invites graduate students and early career researchers to consider the genealogy of international law since 1750. It aims to identify new or unrecognised actors – including individuals, groups, and institutions as well as non-human agents – and their contributions to the practices, interpretations, and applications of international law. How did they establish or challenge norms, customs, and institutions? How were their practices, actions, and ideas shaped into law? The event aims to historicise the making of international law by bringing together junior scholars of history and law and to provide a forum for the exploration of new ideas and alternative perspectives, combining and building upon historical and social scientific approaches.

Mapping Fashion Savoir Faire

Craft, Space and Scale 16th 21st centuries

This international conference aims to examine the spatial dimension of the crafts associated with fashion and dress. In the wake of developments brought about by global history, it intends to turn its attention to the spatial dimension of fashion crafts. The recent spatial turn and the spread of data visualisation tools provide an opportunity to rethink fashion crafts. From modelling the workplaces of fashion designers from the past to the present day, to representing the flows, locations and spatial dynamics that characterize fashion professions on the scale of a street, a city or a continent, crafts and the making of fashion also shape landscapes just as much as they are shaped by territories and their physical and environmental characteristics. Continuing the debate on the forms of exhibition, museography and mediation, the issue of how these questions are reflected in museums will be a key area of study for this conference.

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.

Interspecies Interactions in the Visual Arts (1550-1914). Collaborations, Experimentations, Oppositions

This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. Are they merely objects of study, partners in creation, or autonomous agents in a larger process? How does the making of artworks define or blur boundaries between humans and other-than-humans?

Photography from the Struggles for Independence

Practices, circulations and aesthetics

The aim of this colloquium is to highlight the histories of photography generated during the processes of decolonization, while rethinking methodological and aesthetic approaches to the medium that are still too Western-centric. What has happened to the production and circulation of photographers and their images since the independence struggles? How did new iconographies, new aesthetics and, with them, new networks of visual exchange develop, complicating the one-sided visibilities and photographic circulations from the “South” to the “North” established during the colonial periods?

Feminist Utopias at Work

Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish

Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.

La Toison d’or, trophée pour des héros ambigus de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge

Si la quête argonautique et son dénouement tragique sont bien étudiés dans leur versant gréco-latin, leur devenir au Moyen Âge fait l’objet d’analyses moins nombreuses. Dans l’ensemble du corpus, l’imaginaire de la Toison d’or et les récits encadrant la quête argonautique restent aussi moins explorés. Phrixos, voué au sacrifice par son père Athamas, échappe à la mort grâce au bélier à la Toison d’or : l’animal mène le jeune homme en Colchide et prend symboliquement sa place sur l’autel. La Toison, dépouille sacrificielle, lui garantit pouvoir et fécondité. Une génération plus tard, Jason, parent de Phrixos, revendique ce trophée pour établir à son tour son royaume et sa lignée. Son mariage avec Médée assure temporairement sa victoire, mais la déloyauté du héros lui en ôte les fruits. Cette rencontre invite à replacer les deux héros dans leurs traditions parallèles et dans leur lien à ce trophée ambigu.

Call for papers - Thought

Events, ruptures, durations

"Chiasmi International" journal n°27

This dossier will explore the various fields of Merleau-Ponty's thought in which his notions of event, rupture and duration are at work or can become fertile and operative. This means exploring not only Merleau-Ponty's work, but also the thought of other authors in the phenomenological tradition or the structuralist and post-structuralist currents. Finally, it means looking at contemporary philosophy and theoretical thinking, to understand how various traditions of thought in the humanities and social sciences are responding today to the challenges posed by events (from the events of 11 September 2001 to pandemics and global ecological issues) and how they thematise notions of duration and rupture in public and private life.

Political Objects on the Move. For a Material History of Politics in the Long 19th Century

Special issue of the journal “Contemporanea. Rivista di storia dell’800 e del ’900”

This special issue of Contemporanea aims to reflect on the mobility of political material culture, analysing how its circulation and transformation, both physical and symbolic in time and space, generated connections between contexts and movements, disseminated and popularised images and imagination, and redefined and influenced political sensibilities and practices during the long 19^th century.
