    Socialist Visual Cultures and Decolonization: Circulations, (Re)interpretations, and Resistances of Visual Models in the Context of the Cold War

    Au milieu du XXe siècle, en contexte de Guerre froide, divers pays envisagent le socialisme comme alternative à la domination coloniale. Dans le double contexte de Guerre froide et de décolonisations, le domaine culturel, et notamment les arts visuels (arts plastiques, photographie, cinéma, arts textiles, arts décoratifs, architecture), occupent une place particulièrement importante.

    Democracy at University: Voicing Choices

    In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection. As a space for academic and civic education, for the transmission of knowledge and collective experimentation, it also constitutes a laboratory for democratic practices.

    Political Theory in the Historical Sciences and Historical Theory in Political Science

    An Interdisciplinary Encounter

    Through this joint Call for Papers, “Geschichtstheorie am Werk” and “theorieblog”, two blog platforms designed to address basic theoretical questions of their disciplines (history and political science) for a wider audience, invite you to explore how and with what implications historical theory assumptions, historicity concepts and historical narratives have come about in political theory, and conversely ask what political and social-theoretical premises can be identified in academic historiography. Through this two-way observation, the blogs aim to shed light on certain implicit, unconscious or poorly reflected-upon elements of political thinking, historical research and historiography that exert considerable influence. They also hope to make disciplinary blind spots more visible and use the insights gained productively within and across disciplines.

    Consolatio. Formes et enjeux de la consolation de l'Antiquité au 21e siècle

    Aujourd’hui, la mission de consoler les personnes en souffrance est majoritairement dévolue à des professionnels du soin, des associations, quelquefois à la religion, le plus souvent aux exercices de développement personnel, dont certains se prétendent fondés sur l’enseignement des philosophes antiques. De fait, Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes pour modérer le chagrin suscité par les événements malheureux (décès, maladie, vieillesse, exil, injustice, etc.).

    Abundance or Sufficiency?

    The Left’s Diverging Paths in the Green Transition

    Since the 1970s, environmental constraints, shifting social values, and the crisis of post-war productivism have profoundly challenged the Western left. Once grounded in beliefs in scientific progress, technological innovations, and rising material prosperity, left-wing movements have increasingly been forced to confront planetary limits, rising inequality, and growing public ambivalence toward technoscience. These tensions have crystallised in contemporary debates on the Green Transition, where competing visions of abundance (growth-oriented technological optimism) and sufficiency (degrowth, sobriété, post-productivism) shape political and social antagonisms.

    Reading Chaucer outside the Anglophone World: Receptions, Translations, and Traditions

    In Sondry Ages and Sondry Londes

    The recent Mandarin Chinese translation of The Canterbury Tales (Linking Publishing, 2025) by Dr. Francis K. H. So offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the growing presence, vitality, and diversity of Chaucerian studies outside the Anglophone world. This significant contribution not only opens new avenues for engaging with Geoffrey Chaucer’s language and narrative art, but also foregrounds the crucial role of translation, pedagogy, and local scholarly traditions in shaping how Chaucer is read, interpreted, and taught across different linguistic and cultural contexts.

    The Phanariot Past and its Afterlives: Historicizing “Corruption” in Central-South-East Europe (1750s-1920s)

    The Phanariots have long animated the historiography of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Southeast Europe. Contemporary political commentators, as well as historians seeking to construct national(ist) narratives, branded the Phanariots with critiques of corruption, foreign interests, and the legacies of the Ottoman past. Yet, scholars have conducted scant research on how and why “Phanariots” and “Phanariotism” came to signify corruption, bad governance, and a seemingly inescapable Ottoman past after 1821. This workshop tends to this gap in historiography.

    Political, cultural and intellectual South-North circulations in the post-Bandung era: towards a connected history of the Commonwealth

    By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

    Mobilising Heritage: Dance, Theatre, and Performance in the Age of (In)Tangibility

    European Journal of Theatre and Performance, Vol. 8, No. 1

    This turn toward the intangible and communal dimensions of heritage exposed deep tensions between preservation and change, expert authority and bottom-up participation, or institutional policies and bodily practices. These frictions are particularly visible in dance and the performing arts, where heritage is literally embodied, enacted, and reimagined through practice. In what this special issue terms the age of (in)tangibility, the performing arts are recognised as intangible heritage precisely as they are rendered tangible through documentation, digitisation, and policy frameworks, revealing a constitutive tension between embodied, relational knowledge that exists only in practice and the material, institutional forms through which heritage is named, governed, and sustained.

    Queer Ecologies Across Socialisms

    Queer Ecologies Across State Socialisms brings queer ecology into dialogue with the cultural, institutional, and environmental histories of global state socialist worlds. The conference asks how ideas of “nature” and sexuality were co-produced across bodies, policies, infrastructures, and landscapes - and how queer attachments and ecological critique emerged within socialist modernities. We invite academic and artistic work that rethinks socialist environmental governance beyond catastrophe narratives and traces alternative imaginaries of care, coexistence, and solidarity across more-than-human worlds.
