    Translational Epistemologies and Open Science

    Towards Equitable and Sustainable Ecosystems of Knowledge Production and Dissemination

    Translation has emerged in recent decades as a keyword in disciplines such as cultural history, anthropology and science and technology studies (STS). Moreover, since around the turn of this century it has become an institutionalized concept in medicine – as evident in the increasing ubiquity of knowledge translation and translational research activities that attempt to put research-based knowledge into practice (Ødemark and Engebretsen 2018).This event will provide a forum for engaging with epistemologies and scholarly initiatives that seek to open up spaces for equitable and ethically responsible reflection on translation within various ecosystems of knowledge and society at large.

    Violence and Empire. From the Early 1800s to the End of the Great War

    From the early 1800s, the formation, consolidation, and maintenance of empires were increasingly bound to new logics of state power, technological advancements, and legal rationalisation and justification. Despite narratives of civilising missions and administrative modernisation, violence remained a central practice of imperial rule, both as an instrument of conquest and a mechanism for governing already established colonial regimes. This conference invites historians and scholars of related disciplines to consider the various ways in which violence operated within imperial systems, how it was implemented, codified and justified legally and culturally, along with its contemporary perception in the imperial metropolis and its remembrance and subsequent legacies that continuously remain influential until the present day.

    Translation Networks in the Decolonising World, 1950s–1970s

    This conference seeks to redress narratives that often overlook translation’s role in shaping political and cultural transformation by foregrounding the networks of translation that enabled dialogue between communities, intellectuals, and revolutionary movements across Africa, Asia, and Latin America between the 1950s and 1970s. It aims to explore how translation practices facilitated the circulation of anti-colonial ideas, shaped notions of identity and sovereignty, and influenced the formation of new political and cultural realities in the decolonising world.

    Undisciplined Anthropologies: Practices, Trajectories, and Imaginations Beyond “Method”

    This call arises from tension: the desire to break the rigid geometries of knowledge in order to explore their shifting edges, their interstices, their as-yet uncodified possibilities. Experimentally, we intend to draw on undisciplined anthropologies – and undisciplined practices of knowledge – capable of crossing epistemological boundaries, hybridizing languages, and engaging with movements of resistance, creation, and care.

    Contested Geographies of Mountain Futures in the Socio and Eco-climate crisis

    This call for papers invites contributions exploring, from a critical geography and political ecology perspective, the socio-environmental futures of mountain regions in the context of the eco-climatic crisis. It focuses on how power relations, conflicts, discourses, and imaginaries shape policies and visions of “mountain futures”. The aim is to analyze the tensions between dominant and alternative approaches, questioning dynamics of governance, socio-environmental justice, and the social production of nature. Submissions should offer theoretical and/or empirical reflections on post-crisis scenarios, paying particular attention to subaltern actors, alternative visions, and forms of contestation across diverse mountain contexts.

The event serves as a celebratory conclusion to the research project Visual Contagions (Swiss National Fund for research, 2021–2025), conducted at the University of Geneva and focused on the global circulation of images, in collaboration with the Artl@s project.

    Self-writing in the Caribbean context: contrasting perspectives

Our conference aims to address the region’s linguistic and cultural diversity and attempts a comparative approach to self-writing across different Caribbean traditions.

    Vision du monde : représentations linguistiques, littéraires, philosophiques et religieuses

    Depuis les premières tentatives humaines d’expliquer le monde, philosophes et scientifiques ont essayé d’en forger une vérité absolue et totale. Cela fait que la nature du monde est réduite à un mode de pensée propre à l’esprit du siècle. Michel Foucault, dans son ouvrage Les Mots et les Choses, distingue trois systèmes de pensée en Occident qu’il désigne par épistémè : épistémè classique (XVIIe siècle) basé sur la raison, épistémè moderne (XIXe siècle) lié à l’individu, et épistémè contemporaine (XXe siècle) basée sur le pouvoir. Foucault analyse dans ce sens les différents mécanismes et structures épistémologiques qui ont marqué chaque siècle pour façonner le savoir et la connaissance, ce qui influence directement la capacité humaine à pouvoir définir la nature propre du monde.

Held in Tozeur from February 4 to 7, 2026, the forum brings together researchers, artists, designers, engineers, and local stakeholders to explore ecological, social, and aesthetic challenges related to arid environments. It examines the role of design in the sustainable transformation of the desert through three key approaches: the desert as an in situ creative laboratory, an in vitro catalyst for innovation, and an in vivo space for learning.

    La volontà di sapere | The Will to Knowledge

    “Vesper. Journal of Architecture, Arts & Theory” No. 14,

    Michel Foucault, in La volonté de savoir (1976), described how the mechanisms of the examination of conscience belonging to the pastoral tradition of the 17th century progressively extended to all areas of society, marking the threshold of a biopolitical modernity. Here, the ‘will to knowledge’ is not the subject’s drive for research, but the injunction to bring into the field of knowledge-power those borderline domains of life that had been previously excluded from it: death, birth, sexuality. This process of the adherence of knowledge to bodies entirely invests our time and urges us to reflect on the figures of the ‘will to knowledge’ in the new millennium.

    Extractivist Enterprise and International Organizations (1919-1989)

    Workshop and Publication

    Corporate actors have played a hidden yet highly influential role in shaping the global order, often securing their interests in international organizations, such as the League of Nations and the United Nations. Extractive industries, which focus on natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and metals, including rare earths, were the bedrock of capitalism in the long twentieth century. How did they exert their influence within, through and against international organizations? What tools did they adopt to attain their goals at global metropoles such as Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Geneva, New York, and Santiago? Who challenged their efforts and who supported them and how? What effects did formal decolonization have on the role of extractive enterprise in these global spaces?
