Social networks and the dynamics of constructing/deconstructing social identities

Identity issues are a pervasive concern in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the complexity and diversity of networks, including social networks, play a significant role in shaping and reshaping various forms of identity. The humanities and social sciences offer a critical framework for scholars to investigate the “weak ties” and “strong ties” generated by these networks, as well as the intersections and entanglements between social networks and the dynamics of identity construction and deconstruction in Cameroon.

Unspeakable Conflicts? Factional Conflict and Conflict Communication in the Premodern and Modern Eras

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les groupes forgés par les conflits, qualifiés généralement de « factions », ont fait l’objet de recherches comparées qui ont mis en évidence leur omniprésence. Dans le prolongement de ces travaux, nous souhaitons nous intéresser à la manière dont les factions communiquent pour rendre publics leur existence et les conflits qui les nourrissent. Les discours élaborés par et sur les factions méritent donc d’être analysés avec prudence, en examinant leur structure, le cadre de leur énonciation et les mécanismes de leur diffusion, afin d’évaluer leur sincérité et d’en décrypter les sous-entendus. C’est à ce travail qu’invitent les présentes journées d’étude, dans une perspective comparée large, susceptible d’éclairer ces phénomènes sur le temps long.

Return(s) to Africa

Joint call for the journal Sources. Materials & Fieldwork in African Studies and the Revue d’histoire contemporaine de l’Afrique (RHCA)

This joint call for proposals for the journals Sources and RHCA welcomes original articles on the theme of return, or returns, to Africa. While differences exist according to time and place, what “returns” to Africa have in common is that they are not simply a physical return; they are also part of a political process and reflect a desire to reappropriate an ancestral African heritage, regardless of the ideological and institutional framework. Confronted with realities of African societies, “return” raises other questions, such as the status of foreigners and economic issues, and helps redefine political and cultural projects that are simultaneously local and transnational.

Heroisms in times of war

Since the 2000s, scholarly interest in the concept of heroism has grown to the point where some now speak of heroism studies or heroism science. This emerging historiographical current now has a multidisciplinary academic journal, research centers, and even encyclopedias for American and German researchers. By considering these as complex phenomena, involving a variety of actors, tools, and horizons of expectation, we aim to decipher the elaboration of imaginary images of martial heroism.

Eastern Bloc Universities as a Meeting Place for International Youth during the Cold War

This study day on international mobility is part of the transnational turn in research on the Cold War, which in recent years has highlighted a certain permeability of the Iron Curtain. It will focus on the transnational movement of students. It will focus in particular on the universities of Eastern Europe as a place of sociability and cultural mixing, and as a meeting place for young people. It will look at the issues at stake and the ways in which these encounters take place, in order to understand their impact on the personal trajectories of these young people at a time when their identity and professional pathways are being forged.

From Negotiation to Integration: Hegemony in Hellenistic Times

L'objectif de ce colloque est de se questionner sur l'applicabilité de comportements décrits comme ceux d'une puissance hégémonique, dans le monde issu de la désintégration du royaume d'Alexandre.

Humanitarian aid: An unexpected driver of territorial planning

« EchoGéo » Journal 76 (April-June 2026)

It is generally accepted that humanitarian aid has an important political dimension. This issue will explore a particular dimension of aid’s political impact: the way in which it concretely shapes territories. This issue will bring together articles based on case studies where aid has played a leading role in spatial planning, whether this planning process was deliberately perceived and designed as such or whether it became established de facto, without any concerted planning; whether it was the result of the intervetion of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations (IOs) or emanated from the State.

The Nearness of Architecture

To Build for the Local Community

Currently perceived in a largely positive way, 'nearness' has become a trendy concept, which is also valued in architecture and urban planning : use of bio-based and geo-based materials, return to hand drawing, setting-up of agencies in rural areas, renewed interest in critical regionalism, etc. Far from being new, and also going with a dark side, this notion applied to architecture and urban planning deserve exploration over the long term (18th-21st centuries) in order to enrich and qualify current reflections and practices. The conference aim to bring into dialogue the work of researchers (in architecture, architectural and urban history, sociology, geography, urban planning, etc.) and testimonies from local actors in architecture and territorial planning (elected officials, local authority professionals, architects, urban planners, etc.).

Private Writings of Dignitaries in Exile on Reunion Island

This workshop explores the intimate effects of the educational experience of dignitaries exiled to Reunion Island at the dawn of the 20th century. Experimenting seclusion, their exile was also a time of publicizing their words, with the publication of memoirs and press articles. The aim is to see how these prison worlds, which were on the increase during the colonial period, helped shape the bodies and souls of the inmates. Focusing on the writings of exiled dignitaries, this workshop seeks to probe the intimate changes that these new scholastic knowledges operate in terms of sociability, relationship to self and others, in a context of resistance to French occupation.

DATARights Seminar 2025

Access rights, Algorithmic transparency, and Data protection challenges

In the digital age, online platforms collect and exploit huge quantities of personal data, profoundly influencing social, economic and political dynamics. Yet their opaque operation limits access to the information essential for analyzing their mechanisms and measuring their impact. These infrastructures act like black boxes, making the study of their practices particularly complex. The DATARights seminar examines the right of access to personal data as a lever for transparency, particularly in the context of scientific research. Through several sessions in French and English, it will bring together researchers and experts from various disciplines to examine the concrete uses of this right, its limits and the challenges linked to its collective exercise in the face of algorithmic and data governance issues.

To Build the World Anew, 70 Years after Bandung: What Solidarity for an African-Asian Common Destiny?

Le colloque se base sur l’invitation du président Sukarno, architecte de la Conférence afro-asiatique, dans son mémorable discours à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies (30 septembre 1960), pour reconstruire le monde. Au cœur de cette vaste entreprise, se trouvent la solidarité entre l’Afrique et l’Asie, et leurs liens avec le reste du monde. Dans une perspective trans- et multidisciplinaire, il s’agira pour les participant·es à la conférence de penser les formes et les modalités d’une solidarité entre les deux continents et à l’échelle du monde, qui permettrait de reconstruire un monde qui fait face à des crises multiformes et inédites.

Counter-Hegemonic Discourses in the Indian Ocean and in Africa: Thinking and Writing a Shared World?

One of the major questions brought up by this conference is to understand how these discourses – which pursue the emancipation and decolonization of both the Indianoceanic and African thought and a re-evaluation of the notion of creolization, whether explicitly mentioned or underlying – can help to shape new “relationalities”. Could they establish new fields of force between the islands of the Indian Ocean and the African continent? This conference invites interdisciplinary perspectives to examine how these various forms of discourse attempt to deconstruct dominant ideologies, and social-cultural structures and norms. Do these discursive constructions and strategies reflect a desire to bring the islands of the Indian Ocean closer to Africa, and to seek a reappraisal of their shared history?

Language : New Productions and New Perspectivess from Antiquity to the Present Day

The conference will take place from October 22 to 24, 2025, at Université Jean Monnet, in Saint-Étienne. The junior laboratory GRAPHÉ (Research Group on Philological and Human Action through an Epistemological Prism) was founded at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne in 2024. It aims at conducting an incipient, interdisciplinary study of the ways in which languages influence and are influenced by human actions. After an initial symposium in October 2024 dedicated to the interpenetration of language and politics, we now wish to organize a conference focusing on language in all its newest forms, by confronting it with the latest analytical prisms and methods of study.
