Au milieu du XXe siècle, en contexte de Guerre froide, divers pays envisagent le socialisme comme alternative à la domination coloniale. Dans le double contexte de Guerre froide et des décolonisations, le domaine culturel, et notamment les arts visuels (arts plastiques, photographie, cinéma, arts textiles, arts décoratifs, architecture), occupent une place particulièrement importante.

Mémoires et agentivités aquatiques dans la littérature et les arts panhispaniques
Partiendo de la constatación de que el elemento acuático conlleva significados variados y a veces opuestos, mientras cristaliza retos memorísticos, políticos, éticos o estéticos, este congreso pretende suscitar una reflexión sobre la forma en que, en los discursos literarios y artísticos, el agua ofrece la posibilidad de repensar la relación del ser humano con el otro y con su entorno. Entre memoria y agentivida, ¿cómo refleja el agua la capacidad de los individuos y las comunidades humanas para articular discursos o actos de resistencia a través del arte ? ¿Las representaciones del agua —elemento dual— funcionan como símbolos de violencia o permiten imaginar otras formas de habitar el mundo ?

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.

Dialogue Between Matter and Form: Aesthetic Issues in the Arts and Design
This international symposium explores the aesthetic, technical, and cultural dialogue between marble and sculptural form. By examining marble across art history, contemporary sculpture, architecture, and design, the event aims to understand how matter shapes artistic expression and how creators negotiate between material constraints and formal innovation. The symposium seeks to foster interdisciplinary debate, highlight regional and Mediterranean practices, and propose new perspectives for research, creation, and sustainable development in marble-based artistic practices.

Cultural and Heritage Property and Products in Africa, MENA Region and Beyond
Development, Circulation, Framework and Emerging Technologies

Conference, symposium - Representation
This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. Are they merely objects of study, partners in creation, or autonomous agents in a larger process? How does the making of artworks define or blur boundaries between humans and other-than-humans?

Photography from the Struggles for Independence
Practices, circulations and aesthetics
The aim of this colloquium is to highlight the histories of photography generated during the processes of decolonization, while rethinking methodological and aesthetic approaches to the medium that are still too Western-centric. What has happened to the production and circulation of photographers and their images since the independence struggles? How did new iconographies, new aesthetics and, with them, new networks of visual exchange develop, complicating the one-sided visibilities and photographic circulations from the “South” to the “North” established during the colonial periods?

La Toison d’or, trophée pour des héros ambigus de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge
Si la quête argonautique et son dénouement tragique sont bien étudiés dans leur versant gréco-latin, leur devenir au Moyen Âge fait l’objet d’analyses moins nombreuses. Dans l’ensemble du corpus, l’imaginaire de la Toison d’or et les récits encadrant la quête argonautique restent aussi moins explorés. Phrixos, voué au sacrifice par son père Athamas, échappe à la mort grâce au bélier à la Toison d’or : l’animal mène le jeune homme en Colchide et prend symboliquement sa place sur l’autel. La Toison, dépouille sacrificielle, lui garantit pouvoir et fécondité. Une génération plus tard, Jason, parent de Phrixos, revendique ce trophée pour établir à son tour son royaume et sa lignée. Son mariage avec Médée assure temporairement sa victoire, mais la déloyauté du héros lui en ôte les fruits. Cette rencontre invite à replacer les deux héros dans leurs traditions parallèles et dans leur lien à ce trophée ambigu.

This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. The analysis of artistic practices allows for questioning the nature of the bond between humans and other animals, and examining how, in certain works, the animal can be perceived as a protagonist capable of resisting attempts at reification. Rather than being a mere reflection of power relations between humans and animals, artistic creation thus becomes a site of negotiation, even contestation, of these relationships.

Ve congrès francophone d'histoire de la construction
Ce congrès s'inscrit dans la dynamique des manifestations scientifiques internationales rassemblant autour de l’histoire de la construction des praticiens et des chercheurs, des acteurs du patrimoine (collectivités, associations, etc.), des étudiants, des amateurs, des élus et des usagers. Si les thématiques traditionnelles de l’histoire de la construction sont bien évidemment abordées (matériaux, processus de construction, chantier, droit et économie, métiers et acteurs, circulation des savoirs, etc.), d’autres sujets liés au développement de nouveaux thèmes de recherche sont proposés tels que l’histoire des techniques d’entretien et de restauration et l’histoire environnementale. Cette édition, comme les précédentes, entend participer à la consolidation de ce champ de recherche et enrichir les connaissances par la multiplicité des regards.

Histories of Photography from the Struggles for Independence: practices, circulations and aesthetics
It's a well-known fact that the history of photography as a discipline has for the most part been constructed as that of "Western" photography, more specifically that of Europe and the United States. Between the introduction of so-called "extra-Western" photographers on the contemporary art market since the 1990s and the numerous works on the history of the medium during colonial periods, there is still a lack of information on the history of photography from the liberation and independence struggles onwards, from a global and transnational perspective, across all geographical zones. The aim of this colloquium is to highlight the histories of photography generated during the processes of decolonization, while rethinking methodological and aesthetic approaches to the medium that are still too Western-centric.

Poder, arte e identidad en tiempos del duque de Lerma
En 2025 tendrá lugar el cuarto centenario del fallecimiento de Francisco Gómez de Sandoval y Rojas, I duque de Lerma, constituyendo esta efeméride una oportunidad para reflexionar sobre su figura y su tiempo. Lerma es, sin duda, una de las personalidades más fascinantes del rico y sugestivo panorama del Siglo de Oro español, tan compleja como controvertida y cuya lectura exige una perspectiva multifocal que permita acercarnos a su poliédrica personalidad.

The Role of Women in Decorative Arts and Design in France (1850 to the Present)
Women played an important role in the history of decorative arts and design. Recent exhibitions (Here We Are! Women in Design 1900 – Today at the Vitra Museum in 2021 and Parall(elles): A History of Women in Design at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in 2023) displayed an overall approach of the question. But in some countries as France, what is the state of the issues and how is the contribution of women to be placed in this general context? This conference aims to discuss and to provide a state of research on the question but also to shed light on an aspect of artistic creation. It aims also to give an overview of the evolution and role of women in the decorative arts and design in France since the mid-19th century, in order to complete a current knowledge related to an ongoing field of research in the history of art and creative industries.
