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.

Creating in the desert

The 1st International Forum on Design, Desert, and Sustainable Development (4D) offers a transdisciplinary reflection on the desert as a space for creation, innovation, and resilience. Held in Tozeur from February 4 to 7, 2026, the forum brings together researchers, artists, designers, engineers, and local stakeholders to explore ecological, social, and aesthetic challenges related to arid environments. It examines the role of design in the sustainable transformation of the desert through three key approaches: the desert as an in situ creative laboratory, an in vitro catalyst for innovation, and an in vivo space for learning.

Vestígios do passado nas artes e letras afro-luso-brasileiras

Ces dernières années, plusieurs œuvres littéraires, audiovisuelles et artistiques ont abordé d’une manière différente le rapport au passé. Plutôt que de le figer comme une époque révolue, elles l’inscrivent dans le présent à travers des traces, des strates qui émergent au fil des récits et des représentations. Bien que de nombreuses intrigues se construisent au présent, et à l’époque de leur production, elles sont constamment traversées par le passé, non seulement à travers des références explicites, mais aussi par le biais d’empreintes subtiles qui hantent les personnages, les lieux et les dynamiques narratives. Ce colloque international propose d’examiner la façon dont les traces du passé s’inscrivent dans les œuvres audiovisuelles, littéraires et artistiques de l’univers afro-luso-brésilien. Il s’attachera à examiner comment les traces, les présences spectrales et les ruines, en tant que strates temporelles et mémorielles, hantent les imaginaires contemporains et nourrissent une réflexion sur la persistance du passé et ses résonances dans le présent.

Invisible Actors in the Making of International Law (1750–2000)

This interdisciplinary conference invites graduate students and early career researchers to consider the genealogy of international law since 1750. It aims to identify new or unrecognised actors – including individuals, groups, and institutions as well as non-human agents – and their contributions to the practices, interpretations, and applications of international law. How did they establish or challenge norms, customs, and institutions? How were their practices, actions, and ideas shaped into law? The event aims to historicise the making of international law by bringing together junior scholars of history and law and to provide a forum for the exploration of new ideas and alternative perspectives, combining and building upon historical and social scientific approaches.

Mapping Fashion Savoir Faire

Craft, Space and Scale 16th 21st centuries

This international conference aims to examine the spatial dimension of the crafts associated with fashion and dress. In the wake of developments brought about by global history, it intends to turn its attention to the spatial dimension of fashion crafts. The recent spatial turn and the spread of data visualisation tools provide an opportunity to rethink fashion crafts. From modelling the workplaces of fashion designers from the past to the present day, to representing the flows, locations and spatial dynamics that characterize fashion professions on the scale of a street, a city or a continent, crafts and the making of fashion also shape landscapes just as much as they are shaped by territories and their physical and environmental characteristics. Continuing the debate on the forms of exhibition, museography and mediation, the issue of how these questions are reflected in museums will be a key area of study for this conference.

Natura partigiana

Per una storia ambientale della Resistenza

La journée d'étude vise à aborder les aspects de la lutte partisane qui ont eu un fort impact sur l'environnement. Le renouvellement des pratiques historiographiques relatives à la Résistance nous pousse à interroger le rapport à l'espace. Le conflit a imposé des formes spécifiques et originales d'interaction avec le territoire, où chaque aspect du paysage et chaque ressource naturelle sont devenus un élément de lutte, de survie et de mémoire. Les montagnes, les vallées, les forêts et les campagnes ont été perçus et vécus à la fois comme des lieux de refuge et de bataille, et comme des espaces de résistance symbolique.

Connecting Courts and Coasts : Trade, Knowledge, and Cultural Networks in the Western Indian Ocean

From Post-Classical India to the Late Mughal Era

This conference explores the multifaceted networks of exchange that characterized the Western Indian Ocean from the Post-Classical period through the late Mughal era (approximately aligning with the Medieval to Early Modern periods in the West). The maritime connections between South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa created intricate webs of commercial, intellectual, and cultural exchanges that profoundly shaped the region's historical development and fostered a deeper appreciation of societies across space and time.

Marc Bloch in Brazil. History and Social Sciences

The conference proposes a critical reflection on the work and legacy of Marc Bloch (1886–1944), a central figure in historical studies as a social science. His path as a medievalist, co-founder of the Annales, and committed intellectual reveals an interdisciplinary and transnational approach that remains highly relevant today. The event aims to explore the reception of his ideas and their impact on the human and social sciences, bringing together history, theory, and political engagement.

The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension

1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium

The 1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium ‘The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension’ aims to reflect on issues of insularity and archipelagos in the conception of today's world, marked by environmental crises, new trends in human development and reinterpretations of place and its dynamics. Thinking about islands and archipelagos, in all their trans- and inter-material dimensions, equivalences and disparities, influences the conception not only of these discontinued worlds from their continental matrix (in some cases), but also of territories which are assumed to be outside the continent, with ontic possibilities of a truly archipelagic context.

Interspecies Interactions in the Visual Arts (1550-1914). Collaborations, Experimentations, Oppositions

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?

Shaping the Past. Rappresentazione, uso e manipolazione della memoria nel mondo antico

Seminario « Semi di Sapienza »

Ce séminaire affronte le thème - complexe et débattu - de la réception et de l'utilisation de la mémoire dans le monde gréco-romain et dans les sociétés du Proche et Moyen Orient antique et tardo-antique.

Le concept de "mémoire", déterminé en premier lieu dans les travaux de Maurice Halbwachs et, plus particulièrement en histoire ancienne, par Jan et Aleida Assman, est un instrument utile d'analyse. Le processus du souvenir, s'attachant habituellement à une dynamique neurologique strictement individuelle, peut être déterminé socialement. En effet, dans les communautés anciennes, la mémoire permet de s'identifier, de communiquer et de créer des normes. Par conséquent, la relation entre mémoire et passé est centrale pour définir les conditions des dynamiques identitaires des groupes sociaux. Ainsi, elle constitue un silon de recherche pertinent pour la recherche sur les communautés du monde ancien.
