Digital Humanities and Artificial Intelligence in African Studies

Towards Sustainable and Equitable Practices

The integration of digital humanities (DH) and artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the production of knowledge in African Studies, offering new opportunities for innovative analysis, dynamic visualisation and cross-cultural research. Yet this shift raises urgent questions regarding equitable access, the representation of African languages, and the suitability of methodologies. Current large language models underrepresent African languages, digital scholarly infrastructures remain optimised for English, and digitisation pipelines that produce AI-ready data are themselves shaped by political choices about what to digitise, how to describe it, and who controls access.

Thinking High and Low: Elites, Experts, and the Masses in the Early Reformation

The summer school highlights the dynamic interplay between “high” and “low” forms of thinking and between elite norm-setting and the appropriation, adaptation or contestation of those norms in real-life situations and historical events. By integrating inputs from theology, philosophy and history, along with intellectual, linguistic and social perspectives, the programme presents the transition from the late Middles Ages to the Reformation as a complex reordering of normative structures and cultural hierarchies. It invites the participants to reconsider the period through the lens of how ideas moved between, and were transformed across, different levels of thought, language and society.

Periodicals and Translations

This presentation highlights the political and partial nature of periodicals by examining the transatlantic reception of Lagerlöf’s translations in English in a selection of literary reviews such as the TLS (1902-), the Review of Reviews (1890 – 1937), the American Review of Reviews (1890 – 1937) and the more specialized American-Scandinavian Review (1913-).

Arts visuels et transformations en Afrique

Comment les arts visuels incarnent-ils, problématisent-ils et expriment-ils les mutations des sociétés africaines ? A l’aune de ces questionnements, il est utile sinon vital, d’interroger l’approche critique des formes d’expression des arts visuels et des techniques qui les sous‑tendent. L’appel à communications invite les chercheurs, artistes, commissaires, collectionneurs, et autres professionnels des arts et du patrimoine à proposer des contributions portant sur les arts visuels (classiques et contemporains) en Afrique, envisagés comme des expressions d’un imaginaire social et comme des lieux d’élaboration d’une esthétique sociale.

Memory Processes in Imperial Lifeworlds

Object History and Decolonisation Dynamics in a Comparative European Perspective

The conference addresses questions raised by the material turn concerning representation of objects, their reception, and their dynamic attributions of meaning to the past and to discourses of memory. What do objects say about decolonisation processes, and how are materiality and memory entangled in this regard?

Éprouver l’insaisissable : appréhender les émotions en sciences sociales

Partially inherited from Enlightenment thought, the opposition of emotion to reason, body to mind, and natural sciences to social sciences has resulted in the marginalisation of the study of emotions and affects by devaluing them within the latter. The study of emotions requires a multidisciplinary approach. Our objective is to discuss emotions in a broad sense using diverse media. This call is therefore intended for a wide range of disciplines, regions, and time periods.

Governance of International Film Festivals: From Rules to Legitimacy

La problématique centrale de ce projet d’ouvrage réside dans la tension entre le caractère « international » revendiqué par les festivals de cinéma et l’absence d’un cadre juridique international contraignant régulant leur fonctionnement, leurs mécanismes de sélection, la désignation des jurys, la gestion des conflits d’intérêts et les principes de transparence. Comment, dès lors, les festivals construisent-ils leur légitimité ? Sur quels fondements repose la crédibilité de leurs décisions et de leurs palmarès ?

Rethinking Innocent IV and the Crusades: A Multidisciplinary Inquiry

“Rethinking Innocent IV and the Crusades” seeks to reassess the pontificate of Innocent IV (1243–1254) through a sustained examination of his engagement with the crusading movement. We are pleased to invite proposals for 20-minute papers exploring all aspects of the relationship between the pontificate of Innocent IV and the crusading movement. We particularly welcome contributions that adopt interdisciplinary approaches, including (but not limited to) history, legal history, theology, manuscript studies, political thought and institutional history. Particular attention will be moreover giving the proposals concerning the history of heresy and heretical communities during Innocent’s pontificate, the relationship with the Mendicant Orders, with the Mongol World, the promotion and the business of the cross in Italy.

Artworks and the meaningful connections among their parts

As an increasing number of studies are demonstrating with growing clarity, the analysis of certain aspects - or more precisely, components - of paintings through the lens of their materiality can reveal crucial insights into the artwork itself. These include not only the materials in the strict sense, such as canvas, wood, or nails, but also their composition as a whole, understood as a unified entity, essential to the artwork.

Space For Islands

LPAZ Forum International Conference

The theme Space for Islands arises from the urgent need to address humanity’s challenges in the Anthropocene era through an entanglement approach. This conference invites participants to reflect on islands as spaces of knowledge, imagination, power, and projection. The study of relations between islands and the global commons is particularly welcomed, raising the profile of these geographies in our understanding of global phenomena. Islands are not merely peripheral or isolated territories ; they are nodal points of global circulation, and strategic platforms for scientific, technological, cultural, and geopolitical experimentation.

Living together in the Absurd

Making sense when the world doesn’t make sense

The aim of the workshop is to address this question by bringing together different perspectives from philosophy, psychology, and psychiatry on existentialism and the Absurd. It explores how reflecting on the Absurd may disrupt and challenge contemporary debates on self, world, and others but also significantly inform approaches in social philosophy, political philosophy, ethics, and psychotherapy.

Progress and change?

A provisional assessment of Keir Starmer’s Labour government

The General Election of July 4, 2024 delivered a victory for Labour against a deeply divided and power-weary Conservative party whose reputation for reliability and competence had been substantially damaged. Labour’s return to office after fourteen years in opposition is a sufficiently rare occurrence in British electoral history to warrant the use of the adjective historic in relation to the party’s victory. The coincidence of the formation of the Starmer government with the centenary of the election of the first Labour government ever, albeit a minority and short-lived one, is an invitation to look back on the history of Labour in office and implicitly raises the question of its place in the Labour tradition and of its political inheritance.
