  Circulations, Transfers, Reconfigurations. Cultural Dynamics of Creation: Across Time and Space

  In a world characterized by constant exchanges of ideas, objects, images, and stories, questions about circulation and transfer are central to human and social sciences. These phenomena are not only modern; they have shaped cultural history from the earliest commercial and intellectual routes of the modern era to the digital networks of the 21st century. This workshop aims to provide an interdisciplinary space for reflection and a diachronic perspective on how forms, concepts, and viewpoints are expressed across space, language, gender, and eras.

  Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Crisis

  CONGIST’26

  In the context of social sciences, crisis is broadly defined as a period of severe disruption or instability that challenges established structures, norms, or systems within societies. Crises can manifest in various forms—economic collapses, political upheavals, environmental disasters, technological shifts, wars, pandemics, climate or cultural conflicts. Historically, crises have always triggered societal change, which necessitate adaptation, reorganization, and innovation within communities. Throughout history, the impact of crises has been profound, shaping the trajectories of societies by prompting adaptation and transformation. Societies that fail to address crises effectively often face decline, while those that develop robust strategies can recover and evolve. Understanding crises within an interdisciplinary framework helps to reveal patterns, inform policies, and foster resilience in the face of contemporary and future challenges.

  Transitions

  “Postcolonial Cultures Studies and Essays” journal

  This is a call for articles or essays on historical, social or political issues in Commonwealth societies for issue no.4 of Postcolonial Cultures Studies and Essays. This issue will follow the SAES 2025 theme of “Transitions”. Articles are invited that consider political, social, economic, cultural or ecological transitions.

  Heritage dynamics in the urban peripheries

  Heritage and the Metropolis

  Metropolitan cities are well understood to be in the course of constant change. The city’s edges push ever outward into the suburbs or the hinterland. Heritage, on the other hand, certainly in the guide of preservation is often constructed as resistance to change; and yet is not static. The call is aimed at researchers interested in the relationship between heritage and the metropolis, between heritage preservation and urbanisation, in different geographical contexts. We want to compare situations observed in the North and South, in formerly industrialised and non-industrialised regions, in very active metropolises and others in decline.

  Understanding and reconverting tertiary vacancy

  The vacancy of tertiary buildings is a growing issue in urban and regional dynamics. While vacant offices are a visible symptom of economic, social and environmental mutations, they also represent an opportunity to rethink the role of business districts and the uses of the city as a whole. The aim is to analyse tertiary vacancy in France and Europe for identifying the potential for converting unoccupied buildings, whether into housing or other functions: coliving, hotels, industrial or commercial activities, data centres, living labs, collaborative spaces, etc.

  Operative Imagination. Material, Technological, Political Trajectories

  Chiasmi International. Contemporary Phenomenology and Merleau-Ponty Studies, n. 28 / 2026

  The regime of digital media has brought about a saturation of images and normalised access to virtual worlds, now integrated into our everyday practices, while technological devices generate or intensify new forms of visual colonisation through strategies of attention capture, acting upon the normativity of bodies and discourses. The special section “Operative Imagination” welcomes perspectives that develop from his philosophy or dialogue with it, to explore the historical transformations of the imagination, image and imaginary. This orientation reflects the renewed editorial direction of Chiasmi International, which, beginning with issue 25, has extended its scope to embrace the broader phenomenological field and to cultivate dialogue between Merleau-Ponty’s work and major strands of contemporary philosophy and critical thought.

  Beyond the “Degas Dilemma”

  Dance-Sculpture Encounters in Francophone Contexts, Past and Present

  This special issue of H-France Salon aims to broaden our understanding of the intricate patterns of interconnection and mutual exchange between the arts of dance and sculpture. The “Degas dilemma,” is whereby the (female) dancer passively serves as the (male) sculptor’s “muse.” Rather than reducing the relationship between these arts to mere illustration or representation, interventions should consider the range of ways that each responded to the other, and address how such encounters between artistic media illuminate, inform, or amplify hierarchies of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality, and culture.

  Pragmatics and Social Justice in Africa

  Although social justice is still a desire in most global communities, it is a more serious concern in Africa where multiple social, economic and political obstacles wrapped in ideological realities undermine the right for social justice. Thus, a pragmatic approach, with a multidisciplinary dimension, enhances the understanding of social justice, and its interfaces with issues of identities, ethnicity, sociality, culture, ecology and power dynamics. This 4th conference of the African Pragmatics Association seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and critical thinking on the intricate and multidimensional relationship between pragmatics and social justice in Africa.
