Galant Eroticism and Its Markets (1650-1720)

This conference aims to explore the emergence, from the second half of the seventeenth century onward in France, of a new market for eroticism, linked to the development of the galanterie, understood here as an ideal of sociability grounded in values such as refinement, playfulness, and equality between the sexes. Drawing on a wide range of media – whether texts, images, engravings, or music – participants will be invited not only to question the renewed representations that characterize this new eroticism, but also to examine its conditions of production, circulation, and reception, in France and, more broadly, on a European scale.

Animal Behaviour and Environments: Ecological Perspectives from Antiquity to the Present

This conference aims, through a resolutely interdisciplinary approach, to explore the relations between animals and their environments. Bringing together scholars in ancient and medieval philology, the history of zoological knowledge, and contemporary ecological sciences, the event seeks to examine how living beings interact with their surroundings—and how these interactions have been conceptualised, described, and modelled from Antiquity to the present. Two main thematic axes will structure the discussion: 1. Animals and Environments: Ancient and Modern Ecologies; 2. Animal Ecological Awareness: Perception, Umwelt, and Narrative Models

The concept of attention

Attention constitutes one of the most fundamental yet under-theorized dimensions of human experience. Despite its centrality to perception, cognition, action, and intersubjectivity, the philosophical investigation of attention as a concept in its own right remains surprisingly underdeveloped. This international conference represents the first major initiative of a four-year research program (2025-2029) dedicated to establishing the philosophy of attention as a major field of contemporary philosophical inquiry.

Surviving in and Through Arab World Art and Literature

Body, Memory and Affective Regimes

This volume explores the concept of survivance in contemporary Arab art and literature, focusing on how artistic and literary practices embody, sustain, and transmit memory, emotion, and affective experience. Survivance is approached here not merely as biological or material survival, but as the ongoing persistence, transformation, and circulation of cultural, emotional, and collective traces across generations—through practices that engage bodies, perception, and affective registers.

Global Cultural Expressions and Practices: Authenticity, Continuity and Reconfiguration

“Journal of Studies in Language, Culture, and Society” (JSLCS)

Cultural practices and expressions are critical to understanding societal transformations, identity formations, and the impacts of globalization. Dominant scholarly narratives have historically privileged Western epistemologies, often marginalizing other knowledge systems and practices. This special issue seeks to reposition the discourse by centering diverse global perspectives on cultural production, expression, and heritage. Contributions are invited that critically examine how notions of authenticity, continuity, and reconfiguration shape and are shaped by cultural practices in various global contexts. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches and empirically grounded studies that explore the interface between tradition and innovation in both local and transnational cultural dynamics.

The Refugee-Migrant Distinction: Toward a Global History

The aim of this international conference is to more fully elucidate the relational nature of the distinction between refugees and migrants, its function in the wider field of migration, and its genealogy. While chiefly historical in focus, the conference will also foster interdisciplinary approaches and reflections.

Materiality of Women’s Crafts in Pre-Modern Societies of the Mediterranean Worlds: a Diachronic Discussion about Agency, Identity, and Practices

We propose this session to bring together researchers examining women’s craft practices and to deepen our understanding of their identities and agency through the materiality of these activities. Materiality is understood here as encompassing artefacts and gestures: thus tools, waste, but also workspaces, as well as traces on objects and traces on human remains (work-related illnesses, for example). The purpose of this session is to review the current state of research on this topic, share questions, difficulties, and advances.

Democracy at University: Voicing Choices

In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection. As a space for academic and civic education, for the transmission of knowledge and collective experimentation, it also constitutes a laboratory for democratic practices.

Socialist Visual Cultures and Decolonization: Circulations, (Re)interpretations, and Resistances of Visual Models in the Context of the Cold War

Political Theory in the Historical Sciences and Historical Theory in Political Science

An Interdisciplinary Encounter

Through this joint Call for Papers, “Geschichtstheorie am Werk” and “theorieblog”, two blog platforms designed to address basic theoretical questions of their disciplines (history and political science) for a wider audience, invite you to explore how and with what implications historical theory assumptions, historicity concepts and historical narratives have come about in political theory, and conversely ask what political and social-theoretical premises can be identified in academic historiography. Through this two-way observation, the blogs aim to shed light on certain implicit, unconscious or poorly reflected-upon elements of political thinking, historical research and historiography that exert considerable influence. They also hope to make disciplinary blind spots more visible and use the insights gained productively within and across disciplines.
