Is the concept of sustainability misleading?
Mixed Perspectives
The Symposium will thus offer an excellent opportunity to question the concept of sustainability at the crossroads of our various disciplines and practices, in order to better understand and master the way it affects environmental research lato sensu. The ambition of this symposium will be to contribute to the emergence of a “new innovative sustainability science discipline” by questioning the misuse that may have been made of the concept over the last forty years, by reflecting on the means of ruling out such abuses, by rigorously drawing the contours of “environmental sustainability” and by trying to understand how it still makes sense.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Biographies, Mobilities, and the Politics of Migration
Midterm conference of the Research Network “Sociology of Migration” of the European Sociological Association
Current political and media discourses on the questions of “integration”, “belonging” and “borders” are dominated by the perspectives of Western nation states. The objective of this midterm conference of the Research Network 35 “Sociology of Migration” of the European Sociological Association (ESA) is to shift the focus to the perspectives of those who are labeled and talked about in these debates and who become the target of ever-more complex and differentiated border and mobility regimes. This conference will, in other words, interrogate the way belongings and borders are presently challenged and reshaped on different levels (local, national, international) and how biographical perspectives in migration research can shed new light on these processes.

Innovative mobility and urban design: Mirroring contemporary metropolises
Relation of mobility systems to metropolitan territories and places, through fields of knowledge and action as varied as architecture, engineering, geography, new technologies
The symposium is an invitation addressed to both new and established researchers, as well as experts from the private or public spheres, who seek to rethink - or even revolutionize - mobility as a societal problem and/or practice. The main topic will focus the relation of mobility systems to metropolitan territories and places, through fields of knowledge and action as varied as architecture, engineering, geography, new technologies, and others.

Innovative mobility and urban design. Mirroring contemporary metropolises
The symposium is an invitation addressed to both new and established researchers, as well as experts from both the private or public spheres, who seek to rethink - or even revolutionize - mobility as a societal problem and/or practice, as well as its relation to metropolitan territories and places, through fields of knowledge and action as varied as architecture, engineering, geography, new technologies, and others. The underlying premise of this event is that a new inter-disciplinary, inter-cultural and inter-stakeholder dialogue is necessary in order to respond effectively to the urban mobility issues put forward by the three pillars (social, political and cultural) of sustainable development. How to combine the growing necessity and desire for speed in travel, with the imperative of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gases? At the same time, how to achieve better quality public space dedicated to or crossed by mobility? How to ensure that the mobility of people, whether undergone or chosen, is part of a municipal and societal project that is acceptable and sustainable?

Adaptation and Resilience to Droughts
Historical Perspectives in Europe and beyond
This symposium will give us the chance of exploring the topic of historical droughts whose contributions in the international research community are still very diffuse. It aims to bring together researchers working on historical droughts mainly in Europe. Extreme events throughout history that challenge the reactive capacity (resilience and adaptation) of societies will be highlighted. The symposium will bring to light information provided by a large diversity of narrative sources. Lying at the crossroads between environmental history, historical climatology, geography and hydrology, it will provide an international and interdisciplinary scope.

This call for papers seeks the contributions of inter-, pluri-, poly-disciplinary researchers – ‘undisciplinary’, a term from Edgar Morin (2005). Indeed, we seek the input of the undisciplined: the reflections borne from their respective practices.

Religious diversity: comparative views East (Asia) and West (Europe)
Issues in diversity have become crucial all around the planet for political and social reasons. In a world whose cultural and religious plurality is expanding it nevertheless expands in a variety of forms and for somewhat different reasons: diversity in the West assumes somewhat different logics and shapes than in the East. The comparison between different forms of religious diversities therefore supposes to take into account the role of religious systems themselves and the political context in which they are embedded. It otherwise requires a parallel comparison of the logics of diversity (opposition, coexistence, hybridity, syncretism …) and the social acceptation of religions and religious relationships in their specific cultural backgrounds.

Changing the Tune: Popular Music and Politics in the XXIst century
From the fall of communism to the Arab spring
Popular Music scholars have devoted considerable attention to the relationship between music and power. The symbolic practices through which subcultures state and reinforce identities have been widely documented (mainly in the field of Cultural, Gender and Postcolonial Studies), as has the increasingly political and revolutionary dimensions of popular music. Most studies have focused on the genres and movements that developed with and in the aftermath of the 1960’s counterculture. Yet little has been written about how the politics of popular music has reflected the social, geopolitical and technological changes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, after the fall of Communism. Still, the music of the Arab Spring or of the Occupy and Indignados movements have been scarcely commented upon while they attest to significant changes in the way music is used by activists and revolutionaries today.

The Targums in light of Traditions of the Second Temple Period
Ce colloque s’intéresse aux liens thématiques et théologiques qui unissent ou séparent la littérature targumique et les écrits du Second Temple. La question des sources revêt ici une importance certaine et soulève plusieurs questions délicates : sur quoi reposent les traditions targumiques ? Quel lien existe-t-il entre traditions orales et traditions écrites ? Quelle fut l’importance du beth midrash dans la création et la composition des traditions qui viendront former les grandes recensions targumiques ? Quel rôle ont pu jouer les traditions hénochiques, ou celles d’autres pseudépigraphes, dans la formation des écrits targumiques ? Finalement, en quoi les grandes familles actuelles de targums sont-elles redevables aux écrits parabibliques rédigés aux alentours de notre ère ? -

The confiscation and destruction of archives and libraries during the 20th Century
A la suite du retour de Russie, à la fin du XXe siècle, d'archives françaises qui avaient été saisies une première fois par les nazis, puis par les soviétiques, les historiens ont commencé à étudier plus en profondeur l’étrange périple à travers l’Europe de ces documents et bibliothèques d’administrations publiques, d’associations, de syndicats, de partis politiques et de particuliers souvent juifs. Le moment paraît venu de faire le bilan des recherches effectuées et d’ouvrir de nouveaux champs d’investigation. -

Multiculturalism, modernity and citizenship in Canada
Interdisciplinary Conference in Canadian Studies
From the 1990s on, the Canadian multicultural discourse has increasingly focused on the concept of citizenship, which has in turn meant insisting more on the notion of unity and less on that of diversity. Should this be interpreted as a step backward from multiculturalism taken as an ideology and as a policy? From a European perspective, what lessons can be learnt at a time when a growing number of countries are adopting a multicultural terminology and the European Union needs to negotiate a balance between unity and diversity? Should the emergence of a modern form of citizenship be interpreted as the advent of hybrid identities or as a step towards a certain social and cultural anomy? What are then the prospects for multiple identities within a plural nation? -

Workshop in historical economics
Ce Workshop annuel souhaite mettre l’accent sur la théorie, tout en soulignant certaines limites, et montrer que l’économie historique (cliométrie), telle que nous l’entendons, se distingue de l’histoire économique plus générale non seulement par sa spécialisation dans les aspects économiques des sociétés passées, mais aussi par son recours à un corps théorique systématique servant de base pour généraliser et par une utilisation également réfléchie des méthodes quantitatives (statistiques et mathématiques) les plus modernes pour organiser au mieux les preuves. -
