The Brains that pull the Triggers
Paris Conference on Syndrome E
The transformation of groups of previously nonviolent individuals into repetitive killers of defenseless members of society has been a recurring phenomenon throughout history. This apparent transition of large numbers of so called “psychologically intact”, “ordinary” individuals, to perpetrators of extreme atrocities is one of the most striking variants of human behavior, but often appear incomprehensible to victims and bystanders and in retrospect even to the perpetrators themselves and to society in general. This transition is characterized by a set of symptoms and signs for which a common syndrome has been proposed, Syndrome E (Fried, Lancet, 1997). The purpose of such designation is not to medicalize this form of human behavior, but to provide a framework for future discussion and multidisciplinary discourse and for potential insights that might lead to early detection and prevention. The Brains that Pull the Triggers, a special conference under the auspices of the Paris Institute for Advanced Studies, will bring together scientists and scholars from the human, social and brain sciences along with guests from literature, politics, and law to bear upon this tragic invariant of the human condition.

Senses and sensuality in the Middle Ages
2nd ARDIT International Congress of Medievalists
With a distinctly interdisciplinary intention, the 2nd ARDIT International Congress of Medievalists “Senses and sensuality in the Middle Ages” aims to give voice to innovative researches on multiple and corresponding fields, such as History, Philosophy, History of Art or Philology, among others. In this new researchers’ encounter we seek to open the door to the multiples insights and reflections about senses and sensuality in the Middle Ages, offering a wide range of aspects linked to the multiple narratives which this issue inspires: the ways of knowledge, sensory and spiritual pleasure, or artistic and literary forms which have captured the sensorial universe in the Middle Ages.

Exploring repetition in popular music
Over and Over: Exploring repetition in popular music aims at identifying and studying the recent aesthetic and analytical developments of musical repetition. From the 32-bar forms of Tin Pan Alley, through the cyclic forms of modal jazz, to the more recent accumulation of digital layers, beats, and breaks in Electronic Dance Music (EDM), repetition as both an aesthetic disposition or formal musicological property stimulated a diversity of genres and techniques. After decades of riffs, loops, vamps, reiterated rhythmic patterns, as well as pervasive harmonic formulae and recurring structural units in standardized song forms, the time has come to give these notions the place they deserve in the study of popular music.

4rth International Congress on the Square of Opposition
The Square : a Central Object for Thought
The square of opposition is a very famous theme coming from Aristotelian logic dealing with the notions of opposition, negation, quantification and proposition. It has been continuously studied by people interested in logic, philosophy and Aristotle during two thousand years. Even Frege, one of the main founders of modern mathematical logic, used it. This congress is an interdisciplinary event gathering logicians, philosophers, mathematicians, semioticians, artists, cognitivists, and computer scientists.

It is indisputable that, with his operas, Wagner introduced profound new insights relating music, language (poetry) and emotion. It is widely consensual that with his dramas, Wagner intended to explore human mind and behaviour with the power of music. In fact, never before was music so systematically used as a tool for describing and interpreting facts, events, beliefs, desires, intentions, memories and emotions. In the last decades, there has been much advance in the understanding of the cerebral basis of music and its relationships with brain mechanisms of language, cognition and emotion. In short, music has also been shown to be a powerful pathway to understand human mind and behaviour...

Anthropology, Culture and Cognition. Freud, a century after Totem and Taboo
Although hardly avoiding intense criticism by anthropologists such as Boas and Malinowski, Freud’s theories did, however, have a profound impact upon anthropology, receiving an enthusiastic reception among Culture and Personality theorists during the middle decades of the 20th century. Leading anthropologists of this trend relied on Freud’s contributions to develop approaches based on the relationship between culture and personality, expanding their views on the importance of culture in personality formation, on the constitution of culture patterns and on the formulation of national character. One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion. -

Web and Philosophy: why and what for?
PhiloWeb 2012
The advent of the Web is one of the defining technological events of the twentieth-first century, yet its impact on the fundamental questions of philosophy has not yet been widely explored, much less systematized. We hope to provoke the properly philosophical question of whether there is a consistent new branch or practice of philosophy that can weave these changes to technology and society into a coherent whole and have a real social impact. -

Exo-lexical variables in monolingual and bilingual morphological processing
Exo-lexical variables in monolingual and bilingual morphological processing. Dates : 9 et 11 février 2012. Workshop dans le cadre de l'IMM15 (International Morphology Meeting), 9-12 février 2012, Vienne (Autriche). The question of how the lexicon is organized in terms of structural units and how these units interact with each other during lexical access and subsequently during morphological processing, has been a controversial field for a long time. The morpheme versus lexeme problem is still unsolved, but several pieces of psycholinguistic evidence have come to corroborate the hypothesis according to which the locus of morphological effects is not situated exclusively inside the lexical unit but should be extended to its environment. In fact, one of the difficulties of the study of morphology for alphabetic languages is that not only morphology is correlated with semantic, orthographic and phonological factors, but also that stems and inflected or derived words exist as free word-forms, entertaining different interrelations. -

Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period, 19th-20th century
The CSC (Centro Interuniversitario di Storia Culturale) is looking for discussants for its fore-coming international conference on "The Gazing Society. Approaches to the history of vision in the modern period (19th-20th century)", that will take place in Padova, Italy at the beginning of 2012. The conference aims to be a stimulating opportunity for approaching the study of "the gazing society" between the 19th and the 20th centuries. Each historical period can be said to be characterized by its own “visual structures“, and, thus, by perceptive experiences, practices and languages which are culturally determined. History, and in particular modern history, can therefore offer a broad scope of research. The aim of the conference is precisely to build a comprehensive picture of the state of the art as well as to foster an international debate on the topic. The conference will be held in Italian and English. -

Conference, symposium - Representation
Fictions, immersions and virtual worlds
Ces colloques et recherches qui lui sont associées ont pour objectifs de clarifier les rapports entre trois situations d’immersion : 1) l’immersion du sujet en situation réelle, 2) l’immersion du sujet (lecteur ou spectateur) en situation fictionnelle, 3) l’immersion du sujet en situation virtuelle. Plus précisément, ce sont les situations d’interactions entre ces trois sortes d’univers qui seront abordées car chacun désormais ne peut se concevoir de façon autonome. Mais ce seront aussi les modalités des entrées et sorties entre situation immersive et situation non immersive qu’il faudra envisager pour chacun de ces modes d’immersion. -

Conference, symposium - Language
Les études sur les amalgames lexicaux (plus connus sous la dénomination de « mot-valise ») se sont renouvelées depuis les années 1990 en investissant de nombreux champs de la linguistique (phonologie, psycholinguistique, linguistique cognitive, linguistique informatique) et en s'ouvrant à des langues typologiquement variées. Ce colloque organisé par le Centre de Recherche en Terminologie et Traduction (CRTT) de l'université Lyon 2 rassemble une trentaine de communicants de tous horizons et se veut d'abord un forum d'échangeset de débats. Les communications programmées font la part belle à l'analyse de l'amalgamation lexicale dans des langues encore peu étudiées (le polonais, le slovaque, l'ukrainien, le serbe, le grec moderne, le farsi, le mandarin, le coréen), aux comparaisonsinterlangues et aux questions théoriques soulevées par ces objets morphologiques singuliers. -

Women and the Writing of History in Early Modern Britain and France
Women as Witnesses to History
La première journée d’étude consacrée à l’écriture de l’histoire au début de l’époque moderne en France et en Angleterre (6 juin 2009) a montré que l’activité des femmes dans les genres historiques dominants que sont la chronique, l’historiographie officielle, l’histoire religieuse, l’histoire politique est à la fois ponctuelle et discontinue. Cependant, même si les femmes n’écrivent pas l’histoire comme les hommes, leur présence sur la scène de l’histoire, ou au contact de ceux qui la font, les autorise à livrer des récits précis sur le passé proche. Ces spectatrices engagées, prêtes à souffrir au nom de la vérité qu’elles décrivent, sont les auteurs d’importants témoignages que cette seconde journée voudrait examiner.
