Babies as world makers

Revue « Terrain » n° 87

This special issue of Terrain aims to put newborns at the heart of anthropological analysis of collectives. Every birth is preceded by alliances, precipitates ruptures or reconfigurations, and opens up possibilities. It represents both an unpredictable encounter and a beginning, a fragile possibility for the perpetuation and preservation of the highest values. The aim of this issue is to take seriously the disruptive force of babies, from their undecided ontological position. While babies may not obviously make “heads turn and worlds go round” everywhere, as Nita imagines, their sudden appearance certainly creates disorder and reorganization that must be examined. This issue will attempt to do so.

The Changing Concept of Border in Humanities

Between Fixity and Flux

This conference aims to examine not only the representations of borders but also the acts of their transgression, erasure, or redrawing. The goal is to explore how these borders are inscribed in the body of works, narratives, and languages, and how they shape their reception, transmission, and interpretation.

1995: a “Black Box” for Reflections on Contemporary Japan

Revue « Ebisu. Études japonaises », numéro 64

The year 1995 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of contemporary Japan. The country suffered two traumatic shocks in rapid succession: the Kobe earthquake in January and the Tokyo subway sarin attacks carried out by the Aum Shinrikyō cult in March. It was also struck by an economic crisis following the collapse of the speculative bubble in the early 1990. Thirty years later, this issue brings together transdisciplinary perspectives—from case and comparative studies to longue durée analysis—to present a renewed understanding of 1995, reassess its importance and singularity, and confirm or challenge previous work.

Polymorphism and polycentrism in women’s religious engagement

Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania, 1400–1900

This conference is intended as an opportunity to examine the manifestations of religiosity of women who were not fully considered by the Catholic Church as members of its body, such as beatas, consecrated virgins, beguines, bizzoche, penitents, tertiaries, puellae, as well as sisters of religious congregations, from 1400 to 1900.

The Accident Beyond Risk. An Anthropology of Interruptions

Revue « Terrain » n° 86

This issue of Terrain proposes to explore forms of accidentality that lie outside industrial and insurance-based norms of the “risk society.” Through ethnographic, historical, or documentary inquiries, the aim is to approach the accident as a lens revealing social tensions, material imbalances, technical arrangements, or subterranean affects. Far from being a mere rupture, the accident here becomes a heuristic operator—a revelator of world orders.

Les mondes arabes au prisme des émotions

The Arab Worlds Through the Lens of Emotions

This call for papers invites scholars from various disciplines and countries across the region to take stock of ongoing research, at a time when emotional currents are particularly in- tense. It seeks to explore how emotions unfold, circulate, and are regulated or instrumenta- lized, in an era where their digital expression plays a decisive role in shaping the understanding and representation of contemporary conflicts. The symposium aims to bring together researchers who analyze emotions from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, with particular attention to their relational dimension—taking into account the flows and confrontations between individuals, collectives, and institutions—as well as to their material, temporal, and spatial embeddedness.

Étudier les polices au Moyen-Orient

Penser les formes d’États du VIIIe siècle à nos jours

Le Moyen-Orient est longtemps resté le parent pauvre des travaux de sciences sociales consacrés à la police. Cette marginalisation n’est pas propre au monde arabe. La France a elle-même investi tardivement ce champ de recherche, privilégiant l’analyse de ceux qui subissent la répression plutôt que ses commanditaires et exécutants. Pour saisir les dynamiques de construction de l’ordre public et les relations États-société dans le Proche Orient, nous proposons de décentrer le regard en partant de l’appareil répressif et en privilégiant une perspective diachronique.

Attractiveness and mobility networks: seducing, welcoming and integrating

As part of the study day "Attractiveness and Mobility Networks," PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars are invited to explore the dynamics of attractiveness in individual and collective mobilities, from the Bronze Age to the modern era. The event focuses on the legal, political, and social mechanisms implemented to attract, welcome, and integrate individuals into networks. It also examines the formal and informal circulation of information, as well as the processes of community clustering. Particular attention will be given to both the successes and failures of these mechanisms of attractiveness.

Planning And Building The (Sustainable) City Of Today And Tomorrow: Between Security And Functionality, Agreeing On The Role Of Stakeholders

Ce colloque à l’interface de l’aménagement et de l’urbanisme a pour objectif de discuter avec les champs connexes en sciences sociales, sciences de la nature et avec les métiers de la conception et de la réalisation (paysage, urbanisme, architecture) au sujet du renouveau des enjeux de l’action d’aménager face à l’urgence écologique dans divers contextes géographiques et culturels à travers la planète. Il se propose d’explorer et d’analyser, dans une perspective multidisciplinaire, les enjeux et défis actuels de la conception, de la planification et de la construction de la ville (durable) en tenant particulièrement compte (mais pas exclusivement) de l’exigence de sécurité et de fonctionnalité urbaine.

Langues locales et (éco)développement

La journée d’études Langues locales et (éco)développement (LoLaDev) propose de s’intéresser aux pratiques langagières et à la circulation des savoirs dans les contextes de développement et d’écodéveloppement dans les relations Sud-Nord et Nord-Sud. Plutôt que d’alimenter la discussion concernant les langues internationales, notamment celles prenant l’anglais comme point central des politiques linguistiques des projets de développement, cette journée a pour objectif principal de proposer une réflexion sur les pratiques langagières des acteurs et actrices sociaux issus des contextes dans lesquels ces projets sont implantés.

A Century of Revolutions

Centennial of the Great Syrian Revolt (1925-2025)

The symposium will explore the 1925-1927 Great Syrian Revolt and its various interpretations throughout a ‘Century of Revolutions’. The actors, initiating factors and dynamics of the movement will be discussed, as will be the relationships between the countryside, cities and the ‘bâdiyya’ (the Syrian desert). Both the thawra itself and its violent repression will be studied, and great attention will be granted to peripheries beyond typical Syrian borders. The new opportunities which could arise from the fall of the al-Assad regime in December 2024, in particular access to new archival documents and data, will be at the centre of our discussions. Finally, this centenary will enable us to analyse the Great Syrian Revolt as a cultural phenomenon, and not solely a political and military struggle.

The "new clothes" of authoritarianism in the Middle East

Confluences Méditerranée Journal

Authoritarianism in the Middle East has undergone a series of mutations, in various forms, without in many cases fundamentally shaking its traditional patrimonial, military and rentier structures. The "Arab Springs" of 2011 revealed the flaws in these systems. However, recent developments have also illustrated how the notion of political change can actually amount to a veneer of continuity. Many of these regimes have adapted to popular protest and overcome it by adopting a range of measures - from liberalisation to cooperation, from modernisation to coercion. With this in mind, this issue of Confluences Méditerranée will look at this complex issue through a series of interdisciplinary contributions based on existing literature and grounded in field studies.

PhD on "Signs of Disaster"

Geosemiotics of Traces and Imprints of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Accident in the Tōhoku landscape

This PhD project aims to document the imprints and traces of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster through mapping, using an ethnographic and semiotic approach. It specifically seeks to explore the possibility of creating memorial traces of a radioactive disaster whose main characteristic is to be invisible, odorless, soundless, intangible—in a word, imperceptible.
