Religions and Acts of Violence

Special issue of “Violence: An international journal”

Where are we in the study of religions and acts of violence? Much of the literature on religions today has focused on modern Islamic movements, yet here, with the spread of several groups in various contemporary religious traditions, we have a full-scale landscape cases studies in the field of religions and acts of violence. It is the reason why Violence: An international journal is launching this call for papers, proposing some leads, which are obviously not exhaustive, neither focusing on contemporary manifestations of these types of violence.

Alchemy between Science and Magic

Arcana Naturae n° 7

For its seventh issue (scheduled for release in 2026), Arcana Naturae (Agorà & Co) will be looking at the “black legend” of alchemy and its intersections with the history of magic and science. Initially regarded as a “sacred art”, then for a time as a legitimate scientific pursuit, alchemy has nonetheless become synonymous with demonic practices in the collective imagination. How can such a turnaround be explained? When did it start, who were its instigators (whether voluntary or involuntary), and what were its consequences?

Inventing traditions in a dis:connected world. Self-Fashioning and nation-building in the age of Empire 1860s – 1960s

The conference intends to examine the relation between nation-building, scholarly research, and class from a global historical perspective. It aims for exploring the possibilities of how to write the history of ‘imagined communities’ (Anderson 1983) or ‘invention of traditions’ (Hobsbawm and Ranger 1983) after the global turn. Moreover, it aims for linking these concepts to those of ‘the denial of coevalness’ (Fabian 1983) and ‘futures past’ (Koselleck 1983), The conference will thus discuss the pathways, power struggles, and (re-)negotiations of nation-building and similar forms of community-fashioning in different world regions.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

Historical Epistemology: Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices

Ten years ago, the Research Network on the History and Methods of Historical Epistemology, EpistHist, began in Paris with its inaugural workshop on épistémologie historique. These workshops have turned into an annual opportunity to discuss key issues in the history and philosophy of sciences and engage in contemporary methodological debates. This anniversary workshop will focus on the topic of Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices. Here, we aim to explore which approaches within historical epistemology are most suitable for investigating the production of knowledge and practices related to the psyche. We welcome proposals exploring the relationship between scientific inquiries producing knowledge and the technical development of psychotherapeutic practices.

Things Unsaid, Things Unwritten during the English Restoration (1660-1714)

Aussi conventionnelle qu’oxymorique, l'expression de « non-dit » remet en question la binarité supposée entre parole et silence. L’expression thématise à la fois une absence, un manque (de mots), et porte néanmoins en elle la trace manifeste d’une présence. Du moins pour qui sait la déchiffrer. Car le silence du non-dit est, en réalité, une invitation : à comprendre, à deviner, à faire accoucher un sens qui ne veut, ou ne peut pas se dire. Le non-dit porte en lui la trace d’un effacement, mais aussi d'une résistance obstinée. Le non-dit est un silence qui dit quelque chose. Comment repérer les signes d'un silence qui n'en est pas un ? Comment reconstruire avec certitude un discours absent ? Ce projet prolonge la réflexion lancée à l'occasion du colloque « Consentir, refuser, céder : Spectres de la conquête à la Restauration (1660-1714) ». Il a pour vocation de constituer un groupe informel d'étude interdisciplinaire sur la Restauration.

Among Empires. Transimperial circulation of political models and scientific knowledge

The case of four “latecomers” (Germany, Italy, Belgium and Japan), 1880s-1940s

We seek original contributions that, through the lens of the politics of comparison, focus on four “latecomer empires,” namely Germany, Italy, Belgium, and Japan that started their colonial expansion at the end of the nineteenth century. In these countries and their colonies and protectorates, heated debates took place around the search for (historical or current foreign) models, and politicians, activists, and intellectuals often demanded the transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge, be it legal, political, or scientific. In particular, we are interested in two distinct yet bordering fields: models of colonial policies from a global perspective and transimperial circulation of colonial knowledge in scientific fields such as medicine, agronomy, anthropology, legal culture, etc.

Dark Networks

Imaginaries of Shady Connections and the Global Underworld from the Nineteenth Century to the Present

Observers of modern life have not always been optimistic about transnational connections. From the nineteenth century to the present day, the cosmopolitan ideal of a united world has been challenged by widespread anxieties about mysterious and dangerous networks. This exploratory conference critically examines the cultural and political significance of these imaginaries of dark networks from the nineteenth century to the present. Drawing on a series of historical case studies, we suggest to take three key features as a point of departure: figures such as traffickers, clandestine migrants, or spies; spaces such as ports, borderlands, or tunnels; and goods such as weapons, counterfeit money, or revolutionary pamphlets.
