    Island Ambiances

    For an experiential and sensorial approach to spaces

    This international colloquium explores how ambiances—light, wind, humidity, sound, temperature—shape the experience of island spaces and the relationships between communities, territories, and built environments. It is structured around five themes : sensorial architectures, digital sensing, geo-sensitive approaches, knowledge and skills, and arts and ambiances.

    Petrus Hispanus' Tractatus : Logic and Philosophy from the Middle Ages to Modernity

    Petrus Hispanus’ Tractatus, or Summulae logicales, composed in the mid-thirteenth century, came to occupy a central place in the study of logic from the late thirteenth century onward. Commented in several studia and then by Buridan at the University of Paris, it was gradually adopted across European universities and remained in use until the seventeenth century, surviving in hundreds of manuscripts and hundreds of printed editions.

    Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras : Objects, Actors, and Experiences

    This international conference examines the history of confinements through the lens of their materiality. Indeed, confinement is defined by walls that separate individuals from society. Beyond the mere walls, daily interactions between confined individuals, institutional authorities, and staff are largely paved and defined by a variety of things : food, water, books, graffiti, clothes, money, letters, official registers, medicine, punishment objects, etc. In this regard, and drawing on the material turn in history since the early 2000s, things – whether “tangible” things physically available to historians or “textual” things described in written sources – might offer an additional perspective on the history of confinements more broadly, especially when addressing forms of “prison before the prison”.

    The editorial team of On_Culture, would like to draw your attention to the Call for Abstracts for Issue #21 of On_Culture (Spring 2027) on “Embodiment”. This issue foregrounds four interrelated dimensions of embodiment.

    Placebo, Hypnosis, and Functional Disorders

    Bridging basic research and clinical innovation

    The international conference Placebo, Hypnosis and Functional Disorders aims to articulate three domains that have historically evolved along distinct trajectories: research on placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis and suggestion, and the broad field of psychosomatic medicine. These domains are increasingly converging toward shared theoretical frameworks, while also exhibiting a diversity of methodological and experimental approaches rooted in their respective disciplinary traditions.

    Lost in Their Words. Rewriting the Political Lexicon of the Far-Right

    Focusing on Italian, German, French and other historical or national contexts, the volume conceptualises the Far-right not as a fixed ideological formation but as a dynamic and transnational network sustained by flexible and often unobtrusive linguistic infrastructures. It distinguishes between far Right as an adjectival umbrella term (neo-fascist, nationalist, radical, terrorist, subversive right movement and phenomena) and Far-Right as a situational category within the broader right–left continuum (Pirro 2023; Livi 2024). The volume does not seek to replace ideological analysis with a purely linguistic approach. Ideological formations remain central to any understanding of the Far-right. Yet they become historically intelligible only when examined through the semantic and discursive processes by which they are articulated, circulated and normalised.

    Universities and Society at the End of Empire and Beyond (UniSoc)

    Based upon an academic partnership between the Universities of Birmingham in the UK and Leiden in the Netherlands, Universities and Society at the End of Empire and Beyond (UniSoc) uses these two global seats of learning as a starting point to examine the role of universities in the transition from colonial to postcolonial and multicultural societies over the past century. Both institutions have started to reflect critically on this legacy. Building on these initiatives, and on the emerging scholarship on universities in (post) colonial contexts, UniSoc asks how the remit and modus operandi of European universities evolved in the aftermath of empire, opening a neglected entry-point into the wider question of the interplay between the colonial past and the post-colonial present.

    Khôra

    “Angelaki: Journal of the Theoretical Humanities”, special issue (33.5)

    This special issue of Angelaki: New Work in the Theoretical Humanities - book series invites contributions that revisit the concept of khôra, introduced in Plato’s Timaeus as a “third kind” beyond being and becoming, a matrix, a receptacle, and reinterpreted in contemporary philosophy, most notably by Derrida. Situated between presence and absence, intelligibility and materiality, khôra resists stable categorization while remaining indispensable for thinking space, inscription, and receptivity. We seek papers that engage khôra across disciplines, exploring its implications for spatial theory, media, politics, ecology, and aesthetics, as well as its limits and possible reconfigurations today.

    The History of Rights, Equality and Difference(s) from a Gender Perspective

    International Graduate Conference in Gender History

    While gender equality has been formally recognized as a universal human rights principle, its meanings, applications, and limits have varied across historical, cultural, political, and geographical contexts. Historically, gender has played a central role in defining who could claim rights, on what grounds, and with what limitations. At the same time, claims based on gender difference have functioned both as instruments of emancipation and as mechanisms of exclusion.

    Humanités numériques et défis de l’émergence africaine

    Ce colloque sur les humanités numériques en Afrique est un cadre d'échanges qui, au-delà des perspectives interdisciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires, se veut une occasion d'échanges en vue de creuser les limites imposées par le numérique et les sciences sociales. Dans une approche inclusive, il s'agit de montrer en quoi la dématérialisation et la démocratisation de l'information s'érigent en des questions épistémologiques sur le numérique, sur le modèle d’éducation et de culture dans une Afrique en plein essor. Les discussions porteront essentiellement sur le numérique, les lettres, les arts, la pédagogie, la recherche, les sciences sociales et l’émergence de l’Afrique.

    Decentring Europe: Doing History Otherwise, 1500-present

    What does it mean to de-centre Europe in historical research? Can we write a global history, a colonial and imperial history that is not centred on European archives and European analytical categories? How might that change our histories of Europe, and the world? This 2026 edition of the EUI Department of History's summer school takes up a range of such questions as we grapple with why such a de-centring is imperative and what the stakes are for distinct kinds of scholarship.

    Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence in African Studies

    Towards Sustainable and Equitable Practices

    The integration of digital humanities (DH) and artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the production of knowledge in African Studies, offering new opportunities for innovative analysis, dynamic visualisation and cross-cultural research. Yet this shift raises urgent questions regarding equitable access, the representation of African languages, and the suitability of methodologies. Current large language models underrepresent African languages, digital scholarly infrastructures remain optimised for English, and digitisation pipelines that produce AI-ready data are themselves shaped by political choices about what to digitise, how to describe it, and who controls access.
