  Undisciplined Anthropologies: Practices, Trajectories, and Imaginations Beyond “Method”

  This call arises from tension: the desire to break the rigid geometries of knowledge in order to explore their shifting edges, their interstices, their as-yet uncodified possibilities. Experimentally, we intend to draw on undisciplined anthropologies – and undisciplined practices of knowledge – capable of crossing epistemological boundaries, hybridizing languages, and engaging with movements of resistance, creation, and care.

  Contested Geographies of Mountain Futures in the Socio and Eco-climate crisis

  This call for papers invites contributions exploring, from a critical geography and political ecology perspective, the socio-environmental futures of mountain regions in the context of the eco-climatic crisis. It focuses on how power relations, conflicts, discourses, and imaginaries shape policies and visions of “mountain futures”. The aim is to analyze the tensions between dominant and alternative approaches, questioning dynamics of governance, socio-environmental justice, and the social production of nature. Submissions should offer theoretical and/or empirical reflections on post-crisis scenarios, paying particular attention to subaltern actors, alternative visions, and forms of contestation across diverse mountain contexts.

  Guiding Landscapes

  Organized by the French Federation of Landscape Architects (FFP, Fédération Française du Paysage), the 61st World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA) will take place in Nantes, France, from September 10-12, 2025, under the theme "Guiding Landscapes". Landscape architects play a key role in adapting cities to climate change at a variety of scales. Planning, conceiving, and managing new resilient urban districts, reorganizing the public realm by reopening soils, increasing rainwater infiltration, and developing urban biodiversity to cool cities are all essential challenges.

  Self-writing in the Caribbean context: contrasting perspectives

  Vision du monde : représentations linguistiques, littéraires, philosophiques et religieuses

  Depuis les premières tentatives humaines d’expliquer le monde, philosophes et scientifiques ont essayé d’en forger une vérité absolue et totale. Cela fait que la nature du monde est réduite à un mode de pensée propre à l’esprit du siècle. Michel Foucault, dans son ouvrage Les Mots et les Choses, distingue trois systèmes de pensée en Occident qu’il désigne par épistémè : épistémè classique (XVII^e siècle) basé sur la raison, épistémè moderne (XIX^e siècle) lié à l’individu, et épistémè contemporaine (XX^e siècle) basée sur le pouvoir. Foucault analyse dans ce sens les différents mécanismes et structures épistémologiques qui ont marqué chaque siècle pour façonner le savoir et la connaissance, ce qui influence directement la capacité humaine à pouvoir définir la nature propre du monde.

  La volontà di sapere | The Will to Knowledge

  “Vesper. Journal of Architecture, Arts & Theory” No. 14,

  Michel Foucault, in La volonté de savoir (1976), described how the mechanisms of the examination of conscience belonging to the pastoral tradition of the 17th century progressively extended to all areas of society, marking the threshold of a biopolitical modernity. Here, the ‘will to knowledge’ is not the subject’s drive for research, but the injunction to bring into the field of knowledge-power those borderline domains of life that had been previously excluded from it: death, birth, sexuality. This process of the adherence of knowledge to bodies entirely invests our time and urges us to reflect on the figures of the ‘will to knowledge’ in the new millennium.

  Extractivist Enterprise and International Organizations (1919-1989)

  Workshop and Publication

  Corporate actors have played a hidden yet highly influential role in shaping the global order, often securing their interests in international organizations, such as the League of Nations and the United Nations. Extractive industries, which focus on natural resources such as oil, gas, minerals, and metals, including rare earths, were the bedrock of capitalism in the long twentieth century. How did they exert their influence within, through and against international organizations? What tools did they adopt to attain their goals at global metropoles such as Addis Ababa, Bangkok, Geneva, New York, and Santiago? Who challenged their efforts and who supported them and how? What effects did formal decolonization have on the role of extractive enterprise in these global spaces?

  The Devil and Dissent: Early Modern Perspectives

  EMoDiR is now planning for the upcoming RSA conference in San Francisco (February 19–21, 2026), a series of panels analyzing the concept of the devil in the context of religious dissent. The significance of discourses surrounding the devil in understanding early modern practices of resistance and subversion is both deep and wide-ranging. By examining, on the one hand, the ways in which the devil was identified and, on the other, the implications of demonization as a process of othering, we aim at clarifying the place the “devil” held in the context of early modern politics, religious polemics, visual and material culture, daily communal life, and personal devotion and beliefs.

  The conference “Women and Europe – Interdisciplinary approaches, innovative prospects, new sources” seeks to explore these multifarious challenges. While the role of women in Europe, considered from multiple perspectives, has begun to be studied more systematically by researchers, leading to a growing volume of scholarly literature since the mid-1970s, the subject nevertheless remains largely underexplored.
