    Bringing Art Nouveau heritage back to life: theory and practice in restoration

    From the Venice Charter to the Turin Declaration

    The Réseau Art Nouveau Network is an European network for the study, protection and promotion of Art Nouveau heritage. 2024 also mark the 30th anniversary of the publication of the UNESCO Declaration of Turin, which established the guidelines for the practice and theory of restoring this heritage, infull respect of its material specificities. The punctuality of the analysis underpinning this declaration has not preserved it from oblivion. Having recalled the main assumptions of the Venice Charter, we would like to understand why 30 years after its publication the need was felt to draw up a code of intervention specifically dedicated to Art Nouveau. We would also like the conference to be an opportunity to clarify, through concrete examples, the critical fortune of the two UNESCO documents, aware that their implementation in Europe is not always systematic.

    Renewing the Social Contract

    The Challenge of Inclusivity and Democratic Government in Social Contract Theory

    The conference will explore how the idea of a social contract should be adapted or reconsidered to address these challenges by focusing on its relationship to democracy, and in particular to democratic government. How should social contracts be amended in the context of contemporary transformations of popular government, administrative power and regulatory frameworks? What is the role of law and legal institutions in these transformations? Are there alternative models that may keep social contracts open to contestation while establishing a legitimate foundation for governance? How are social contracts renewed or made resilient?

    Species on the Move. Historical Perspectives on Invasive Species

    In this two-day workshop taking place on November 11-12 2024 in Zurich, we aim to historicise different perspectives on anthropogenic movements of animals and plants around the world. By integrating the lenses of the humanities and the natural sciences as well as insights of experts outside of academia who apply these considerations in their work, we will problematise the notion of ‘invasive species’ and explore the many ways humans and other biota have historically tried to deal with changing ecosystems. For the first day of this workshop, we encourage participants to submit papers that look at regionally ‘invasive species’ and animals and plants on the move in a historical perspective.

    Business Perspectives on Corporate Accountability for Human and Environmental Rights Violations

    The past twenty years have witnessed a multiplication of legislative initiatives, civil and criminal litigations, and concerted demands by social movements and NGOs across the world to hold economic actors accountable for human rights violations and environmental degradation. An important body of literature has examined these civil society mobilizations, and the ways governments envisage similar processes. Yet we know far less about the ways businesses understand their own rights and duties as legal persons, and their responsibilities as citizen. This conference aims to revisit the current academic scholarship on corporate accountability by providing a platform for socio-historical analysis of the variety of business actors and their (potentially fragmented and competing) ideas, strategies, and lines of action in terms of enhancing or undermining concrete responsibility for human rights violations and ecological degradation.

The conference will notably consider the materials of the Anthropocene from a “metabolic” perspective, i.e. one that looks at the cycles of transformation of matter within the planetary ensemble, and also includes the social, political and economic representations shaping them.

    African colonialism : Origins, development and modern challenges

    This call for paper explores the multifaceted nature of African nationalism, which encompasses historical, political, social, economic, cultural, and linguistic dimensions. It argues that scholarly research on this topic should adopt an interdisciplinary approach to fully grasp its complexity. African nationalism, rooted in colonialism, evolved as a response to internal and external factors, aiming for political independence and broader African unity. However, post-independence challenges in governance, economic development, cultural identity, and education persist. The call emphasizes the need for further interdisciplinary research to delve into the past, present, and future of African nationalism.
