    “Práticas da História. Journal on Theory, Historiography and Uses of the Past”

    Permanent call for submissions

    Práticas da História is an open-access, bi-annual online academic journal, and it is looking to publish original articles, bibliographical essays, interviews, and book reviews on the subject matters of historical theory, historiography, methodology, and the uses of the past. We encourage submissions in Portuguese, English, French, or Spanish. The journal attaches equal importance to research relating the practice of history with other domains of the humanities and to works debating history in the context of the social sciences. While we find ourselves in the disciplinary field of history, we do aspire to question the boundaries of the field. It is our goal to promote interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity.

    Liberté(s) dans la littérature d’expression française : représentations, limites et enjeux

    Revue « Romanica Silesiana » vol 28 (no 2/2025)

    Étant donné la riche ampleur sémantique et conceptuelle de la notion de liberté, ce numéro de la revue Romanica Silesiana propose examiner le thème de la liberté dans plusieurs perspectives. La liberté peut concerner le processus de création pendant lequel l’écrivain se confronte aux différentes contraintes. C’est également le lecteur qui a une relation particulière avec la liberté car il peut participer activement à la construction de l’œuvre, tant au niveau formel qu’interprétatif. Aussi la liberté en tant que conception artistique prend-elle différentes formes de représentation dans l’œuvre littéraire, basant principalement sur la dynamique entre l’enfermement et la libération, l’opprimé et le révolté.

    Contemporary Arts, The Urbanocene & The More than Human World

    This workshop seeks to explore the radical strategies employed by contemporary artists as they navigate the Urbanocene, transforming urban public spaces into dynamic arenas for introspection, advocacy, and resilience. It aims to question whether these artistic interventions, with their catalytic potential, can effectively mobilize urban communities and foster a sense of symbiosis with the broader environment.  It will critically analyze the various modalities through which artistic forms function as channels for ecological discourse. The discussion will focus on their role in advocating for radical ecological thinking, fostering multispecies coexistence, promoting biodiversity preservation, and advancing the pursuit of climate justice.

    Exploring the Autonomy of Cities

    Philosophical, Legal, and Policy Dimensions

    We seek contributions that explore the conditions under which cities should be granted autonomy, the implications of autonomy for equality, and the challenges specific to cities in navigating their relationship with regional, national, and global governance systems. The aim is to foster a robust dialogue on whether autonomy (and in which form? which constitutional status?) is the appropriate framework for empowering cities or if alternative approaches, such as empowerment through subsidiarity, are better suited to achieving justice and effective governance.

    Maps in American Literature, 15th–21st Century

    This symposium seeks to uncover these often overlooked influences, examining how specific maps have shaped both the form and content of American literature. By “maps,” we refer here to cartographic documents of real-world spaces, focusing specifically on those that exist outside or alongside the texts themselves —whether preexisting maps that writers engaged with or maps produced for or after publication. This excludes maps of fictional spaces such as Sherwood Anderson’s map of Winesburg, Ohio, or Faulkner’s map of Yoknapatawpha County.

    "Monarch of All I Survey:" Literary Posterity and Cultural Legacies

    We invite submissions for an international conference exploring the literary posterity of the phrase "I am monarch of all I survey" from William Cowper's 1782 poem. Cowper's lines have echoed through centuries of literature and criticism, embodying themes of imperial control, sight, and isolation, while remaining notably ambiguous. How has this ambivalence been reinterpreted across different cultural contexts and literary genres, from British Romanticism to contemporary postcolonial discourse? This conference seeks to engage with the far-reaching impact of Cowper's words across a wide array of literary and theoretical frameworks.

    Where and When

    Thinking of Time and Space in East Asia (16th – 20th centuries)

    In a past European research project, many of the speakers at this workshop gathered to explore how different actors in 16th-20th century East Asia conceptualized historical time. We mostly focused on representations of history and periodicity, particularly how different actors used topoi from the “European” historical past to shape their own perceptions of “East Asian” history. While discussing these questions, we realized that we could not think of time without thinking of space. What were the representations and uses of space underlying different intellectual activities and social practices, and to what extent did those representations shape the actor’s relation to history and time?

    Seuils in(ter)disciplinaires : une exploration méthodologique de l’indisciplinarité

    Le collectif propose de questionner les enjeux de seuils entre disciplines à travers un cycle de quatre séminaires. La notion de seuil prend ici la forme d’expérimentations entre disciplines, au sens d’une indisciplinarité qui explore l’hybridité, les croisements, les entre-deux. Comment une discipline autre que la sienne permet-elle de réinvestir sa pratique et sa recherche ? Être « sur le seuil » devient une méthode de recherche et de création qui, dans une période de crise sociale, économique et politique, nous permet de penser dans l’altérité. La plus-value de ce cycle de séminaires tient dans son hybridation transdisciplinaire entre recherche et création, mêlant conférences et ateliers artistiques avec des intervenant·es chercheur·es/artistes.
