    Cinema Left Undone: A Secret History of Central European and Soviet Films (1920-1990)

    The international and interdisciplinary seminar seeks to explore the phenomenon of film scripts that were left undone. Sessions will focus on film projects whose screenplays have been preserved in archival collections but for which no footage was ever produced. Through discussions, the seminar aims to encourage the scholarly community to examine cases from various periods (1920-1930, 1930-1945, 1945-1968, 1968-1990) and from diverse regional contexts (Central Europe, Balkan contexts, Soviet countries).

    In/Visible

    The 2026 NECS Conference will tackle the processes through which invisibilization occurs, from pre-cinematographic apparatuses to contemporary screen and media industries, and how these dynamics concretely affect today’s professional landscapes. It will also consider how resisting and alternative spaces continue to redefine what can be seen, by whom, under what conditions, and how the gradual inclusion of new media and the reinvention of old ones have expanded – or restricted – the horizons of visibility.

    International Symposium on Information Sciences & Intelligent Systems

    3IS

    The International Symposium on Information Sciences and Intelligent Systems (3IS) is dedicated to the scientific, technological, and societal dimensions of information sciences, especially in relation with the recent advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI). At the crossroads of archiving, library and information sciences, digital heritage, data science, computational linguistics, ethics, governance, and pedagogy, the conference explores both classical and emergent trends in information sciences in an interdisciplinary perspective and how intelligent systems reshape the creation, organization, preservation, and dissemination of knowledge across disciplines.

    On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals

    Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives

    This event aims to assess the current state of research on the identification of individuals in prehistoric archaeology, exploring methods to identify individuals from archaeological remains, whether lithic materials or other types of artifacts. It will also discuss the advantages, limitations, and future potential of these approaches, while considering what insights they can provide about the social and economic organization of past societies.

    The Artificial Intelligence Turn in Contemporary Historiography: Challenges, Applications, Reflections

    History – Theory – Criticism Journal, Special Issue 2/2026

    This special issue explores the Artificial Intelligence turn in contemporary historiography and its implications for historical knowledge, method, and ethics. Artificial intelligence reshapes core principles of the historian’s craft, from authorship and interpretation to verification and critical engagement with evidence. We invite contributions that examine how large language models and algorithmic infrastructures transform epistemic practices, reproduce or disrupt bias, challenge human interpretive agency, and alter conditions of education and scholarly labor. The issue seeks both critical reflections and methodological innovations addressing this rapidly evolving intellectual landscape.

    Worked shells in the ancient world

    Material, use, typology, chronology and contexts

    We are glad to inform you that an international e-conference on worked shells in the ancient world will take place on May 20, 2026 on Zoom.us. This forthcoming online meeting will be an archaeomalacological workshop in honour of Jean-Paul Descœudres from the Universities of Geneva and Sydney. Papers are invited to present evidence of human collection and modification of shells from all over the ancient world (especially the Mediterranean) and over a large chronological range (from Prehistory to Antiquity with a focus on the Roman world). We are interested in worked shells rather than those used as food or as environmental indicators.

    The Multiple and the One Assemblages and Decompositions in Medieval Texts and Images

    Ce colloque souhaite interroger les modalités selon lesquelles le Moyen Âge a pensé, articulé et transformé le rapport entre multiplicité et unité. Les pratiques des auteurs, des scribes, des artistes, des commanditaires et des publics s’inscrivent dans un champ où la mise en forme du savoir, de la mémoire et de l’art passe constamment par des opérations d’assemblage, de sélection et de hiérarchisation. Nous réfléchirons à cette problématiques selon une perspective foncièrement interdisciplinaire.

    The Legal Norm in International Politics: Law, Sovereignty, and Geopolitics in Latin America, c. 1750–1880

    This panel explores the interaction between legal norms, sovereignty formation, and geopolitical dynamics in nineteenth-century Latin America. During this period, new republics faced the simultaneous challenges of consolidating internal authority and projecting it outward in a rapidly shifting international environment. Legal norms—constitutional, civil, penal, administrative, and consular—became key instruments through which states defined their international position and negotiated their place within an emerging hemispheric order.

    Fabulous beasts and where to read them

    Animals in Byzantine fables, proverbs, and dreambooks

    Studies on animals in the Byzantine world are gaining considerable momentum. An increasing number of scholars are exploring and reconstructing zoobiographies through the lens of Byzantine literature. Yet a significant corpus of texts—often unjustly relegated to the category of minora—remains underexplored, despite teeming with animal life. In fables, popular tales, proverb collections, school manuals, rhetorical treatises, and dreambooks, animals play important roles : they drive narrative plots, embody moral and social agency, and serve as crucial vehicles for cultural meaning.

    Sculpture and Trompe l'oeil in European Ceramics, from Bernard Palissy to the Present Day

    The conference, dedicated to European ceramics, aims to address issues relating to figurative sculpture in the round, to relief sculpture and to trompe l'oeil, all in the medium of ceramics. This includes the imitation of other materials, such as wood or precious stones, and the mimetic representation of animals and plants. Sculpture and trompe l'oeil are recurring themes but have been little studied in a comprehensive manner in European ceramic art, not even in Art Deco ceramics, which frequently use sculptural forms, both in tableware and in purely decorative pieces.

    Innovations that increase co-creation, responsiveness and the impact of citizen voice in social services

    Final International Conference of the Horizon Europe Project RESPONSIVE

    This international conference explores the question of how democracy can be enhanced within Europe’s social sector. It asks how citizens can shape the work of social services and what innovations can improve the responsiveness of practitioners, services, and policymakers to input from citizens using social services. In particular, the conference aims to highlight solutions that have been co-created by citizen groups and social services to promote inclusiveness, reduce inequalities in civic participation and widen the diversity of citizen voices at different stages of social service delivery or social policy-making processes.

    Comrade Consumer: Shopping, Style, and Desire on Socialist Screens

    To many casual viewers, socialist cinema from Central Europe and the Soviet Union rarely evokes images of beauty parlors, leisurely shopping, or browsing exotic groceries—let alone consumer abundance and hired domestic help. Yet throughout the relatively “liberal” 1960s, the murky 1970s, and the tentative promise of the 1980s, nationalized film and television studios in the Polish People’s Republic, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR frequently returned to shopping as pastime, leisure, and aspiration, constructing surprisingly layered images of consumption under socialism.

    Quarries and rock-cut sites through the lens of archaeology

    The two-day conference, organised by the IRAAR group, will take place at the University of Edinburgh (UK). This conference explores the multifaceted relationships between humans and stone through an archaeological lens on quarrying, rock-cut architecture/site, and rock art. By addressing challenges of extraction, technological adaptation, and symbolic and practical engagements with rock, as well as heritage and recent research, the event fosters interdisciplinary dialogue on the transformation of rocky landscapes across time and space.
