  Operative Imagination. Material, Technological, Political Trajectories

  Chiasmi International. Contemporary Phenomenology and Merleau-Ponty Studies, n. 28 / 2026

  The regime of digital media has brought about a saturation of images and normalised access to virtual worlds, now integrated into our everyday practices, while technological devices generate or intensify new forms of visual colonisation through strategies of attention capture, acting upon the normativity of bodies and discourses. The special section “Operative Imagination” welcomes perspectives that develop from his philosophy or dialogue with it, to explore the historical transformations of the imagination, image and imaginary. This orientation reflects the renewed editorial direction of Chiasmi International, which, beginning with issue 25, has extended its scope to embrace the broader phenomenological field and to cultivate dialogue between Merleau-Ponty’s work and major strands of contemporary philosophy and critical thought.

  Beyond the “Degas Dilemma”

  Dance-Sculpture Encounters in Francophone Contexts, Past and Present

  This special issue of H-France Salon aims to broaden our understanding of the intricate patterns of interconnection and mutual exchange between the arts of dance and sculpture. The “Degas dilemma,” is whereby the (female) dancer passively serves as the (male) sculptor’s “muse.” Rather than reducing the relationship between these arts to mere illustration or representation, interventions should consider the range of ways that each responded to the other, and address how such encounters between artistic media illuminate, inform, or amplify hierarchies of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, and culture.

  Pragmatics and Social Justice in Africa

  Although social justice is still a desire in most global communities, it is a more serious concern in Africa where multiple social, economic and political obstacles wrapped in ideological realities undermine the right for social justice. Thus, a pragmatic approach, with a multidisciplinary dimension, enhances the understanding of social justice, and its interfaces with issues of identities, ethnicity, sociality, culture, ecology and power dynamics. This 4th conference of the African Pragmatics Association seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and critical thinking on the intricate and multidimensional relationship between pragmatics and social justice in Africa.

  Artificial Intelligence, Open Digital Commons and Education: Towards Epistemic Justice in the Humanities and Social Sciences

  Artificial Intelligence (AI), Free Software, and Open-Source tools are redefining the landscape of knowledge production, teaching, and learning in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). These technologies carry the promise of educational equity, linguistic justice, and collaborative knowledge-making—but they also pose critical questions about bias, access, cultural sovereignty, and epistemic inclusion. This special issue of ATRAS Journal invites educators, researchers, curriculum developers, and digital humanists to reflect on the transformative role of open digital technologies in teaching and learning, and to examine how AI and digital commons can support just, inclusive, and pluralistic knowledge systems.

  Archaeology Gone Astray: Forgeries, Misinterpretation, and Other Field Stories

  UISPP Commission on the History of Archaeology conference

  This conference, titled “Archaeology Gone Astray: Forgeries, Misinterpretations, and Other Field Stories”, is dedicated to the less glorious —but undeniably fascinating— chapters in the history of archaeology. We’ll delve into everything from notorious forgeries and spectacular blunders to interpretive dead ends and moments of… let’s say, excessive enthusiasm in the field.The event offers a space for reflection, self-reflection, and a bit of humor —because, like any living science, archaeology sometimes takes a wrong turn. Yet, even when it goes astray, it always leads to something interesting.While the main theme centers on the field’s twists, turns, and detours, the program will also feature an open session for participants who wish to present their current research projects.

Particular attention is given to the interaction between doctrine, institutional authority, and lived experience in the formation of premodern matrimonial cultures.
