  Climate change. Towards city’s sustainability

  This conference is proposed within the framework of the issues associated with climate change and the sustainability of the cities of tomorrow. It is a question of dealing with the double problem of the adaptation of cities to climate change and to the new solutions envisaged by urban decision-makers. The urban context offers an important angle of observation in view of the role of the built environment on the sustainability of cities. This international conference calls for contributions from disciplines dealing with urban planning, architecture, heritage, engineering, urban planning reglementations and building materials.

  Evidentiality in language and discourse

  This online event aims at bringing together scholars, researchers, lecturers with the aim of disseminating the latest scientific findings in the area of evidentiality, but also the intention to recall results of scholarship in this field up to the present moment (state-of-the art). We welcome contributions featuring empirical, methodological and theoretical approaches addressing the following topics: evidentiality vs epistemicity; boundaries between evidentiality and médiativité; evidential markers vs evidential strategies; direct vs indirect evidentiality; grammaticalisation of evidential lexical markers; evidentiality and stance taking; argumentative role of evidential marking; evidentials and normative frameworks of argumentation theory; evidentials as metadiscourse devices; rhetorical use of evidentials.

  International Public History Research Seminar

  Every year since 2018, Wrocław’s Public History Summer School brings together undergraduate and graduate students from all over the world. They attend lectures, workshops, round tables and discussions, as well as present their own public history projects. The positive feedback that we received from them, as well as their suggestions in evaluation questionnaires encourage us to extend the school’s program and launch an international research seminar. As more and more doctoral students and academic historians conduct public history projects or include public history in their ongoing research, we believe that it may become an important platform for networking and exchange of information for scholars who are at the very beginning of their career.

  Politics of pasts and futures in (post-)imperial contexts

  The conference aims to explore how references to past empires and imperiality have shaped perceptions of history and imagined futures, both in imperial and in post-imperial contexts. These include, for example, not only references to imperial foundation myths, but also stories of success and resilience during times of crisis, and uses of imperial symbolism and history to express civic, national and/or imperial identity. It also explores legacies of pre-existing empires in post-imperial political orders.

  African Governmentality, Territoriality and Statolity in Crisis

  If the reflections on the State have covered quite vast fields, in particular the nature, the legitimacy, the practices, the viability, the credibility of the State in Africa, they do not yet offer the keys to put an end to this creational phenomenon nor stem the entropic dynamics by fissiparity and fission, with at the base, the activation of the principle of the self-determination of peoples to dispose of themselves.

  Socialisms and International Law in the Contemporary World

  This conference focuses on the role of state socialist intellectuals, experts and governments from East-Central Europe, Africa, Asia, and Latin America in developing international law in XX^th and XXI^st centuries. This will cover the range of major powers such as the Soviet Union and the People’s Republic of China, which could directly challenge Western norms, to semi-peripheral countries like Cuba and Vietnam, which had to maneuver at the margins. It is high time for scholars to focus on the global effects of socialist challenges to world hierarchies of law and power.

  Climate and ocean literacy

  Helping people to care ethically within planetary boundaries

  The 2020 EGU Declaration of the Significance of Geoscience highlights the need for massive and widespread action to help people around the world to become literate about the changes affecting their and their offsprings’ and communities’ lives. The more people are literate about these changes, the more they can make informed decisions, adapt and mitigate. Previous General Assemblies have addressed climate change literacy (CL). Ocean literacy (OL) has developed strongly in recent years, especially with impetus from the UN Ocean Decade. Ocean-climate literacy (OCL) is an imperative that needs to be addressed massively and urgently, both within and beyond the EGU. We invite colleagues to submit contributions on any aspects of OCL; this can, of course, include CL (without the ocean) and OL (without the climate).

  Post-Truth and Affective Publics’ Challenges to Social Ties

  Disinformation, Populism, Data-Driven Propaganda

  The acceleration of innovation in communication technology and the increasing commodification of personal data have combined with the already hyper-segmented offer of legacy media to throw news media ecologies across the globe in a state of flux. Through selective exposure, users are provided with infinite opportunities to reinforce their pre-existing attitudes and engage with the political process affectively, a phenomenon further compounded by new challenges to journalistic authority that accelerate already existing trends and shake traditional informational hierarchies to their cores. The resulting audience polarization in turn jeopardizes the possibility of a common citizenship, as users are effectively barred from cultivating shared patterns of representation of the social world.

  The impact of new technologies on fundamental rights in light of domestic and European laws

  Since the beginning of the pandemic and even shortly before, digital justice has been deployed on a large scale on both sides of the channel. If the advantages are real in many ways, the impact on fundamental rights should be questioned as far as the European cooperation is concerned with a special focus on France, England and Wales and their Criminal justice systems. In view of their symposium, the organisers would welcome proposals from academics, policy-makers legal practitioners (lawyers, judges, etc.) and opinion formers.

  Between ethics and semiotics. Signs and nature in the Anthropocene era

  “Filosofi(e)Semiotiche” journal (Il Sileno Edizioni), volume 9, n. 1, 2022

  The Anthropocene, unlike other previous eras, is commonly recognized as the era in which the impact of human beings is most incisive in determining the dynamics of the climate and the planet in which we live. With this Call we intend, therefore, to highlight some aspects of the Anthropocene in order to suggest a rethinking of the relationship between human nature and the surrounding environment ; this will allow us to specify how ethics and semiotics can be used in a rethinking of these two categories, and, in general, of the link between language and nature, which inevitably involves the need to review our ways of “making world”.
