  Costume in african artistic production: plural approaches

  This collective work project looks at costume in African artistic production through 4 axes: costume in visual creation in Africa; costume in African cinematographic and theatrical production; costume in the other arts in Africa (dance, choreography, literature, etc.); representations and uses of costume in African societies. Through a plural and multidisciplinary approach, the aim is to contribute to the documentation and improvement of knowledge on costume in artistic production in Africa; to question the quality of costume production, its functions, implications and social dynamics in African countries; and to consider the theoretical perspectives and uses of costume and related resources in artistic creation and African societies.

  Réseaux obscurs

  L’imaginaire des mises en connexion secrètes et des bas-fonds transnationaux du XIXe au XXIe siècle

  Modern imaginations of an interconnected world often have a ‘dark’ side. In the nineteenth century there was an explosion in enthusiasm for the opportunities offered by new forms of international communication, trade, and travel, the emergence of cosmopolitan ideals, or the urge for international cooperation. Yet contemporaries also imagined a dangerous milieu of vice and crime generated by illicit flows and populated by a dubious cast of shady characters. Anxieties over espionage, conspiracies and secret plots became a widespread cultural pattern. Since then, a sinister mythology has never ceased to captivate the modern imaginary: that beneath the real world lies a connected underworld made up of clandestine threads and movements that transcend borders and stretch across continents and oceans. This international conference will investigate the imaginary of ‘dark networks’ from the nineteenth century to the present, intenting to move beyond simplistic success stories of globalisation and contributes to the growing interest of scholars in its ‘deviant’ sides.

  From Invisibility to Visibility #4

  Invisibles in arts and cinema

  This study day will focus on the (re)presentation of the invisible in the arts and cinema in order to analyse the way these art forms have looked at these figures of the unseen, the imperceptible or the “unshowable”, and to see to what extent they have been able to contribute to the de-marginalisation of certain populations by giving them a face.

  Researchning beyond words

  Investigating architectural research by drawing

  Ce colloque centré sur les productions hors des mots des chercheurs propose d’interroger plus particulièrement les représentations visuelles dessinées en situation de recherche. En considérant les modes de fabrication des dessins, les méthodes dans lesquelles ils s’inscrivent et les outils qu’ils mobilisent, nous souhaitons ouvrir des questionnements épistémologiques sur la recherche en architecture et sur ce que l’on pourrait nommer la « recherche par le dessin ».

  Pilgrimages on the Western Front of the First World War: from the end of the war to contemporary practices

  La première guerre mondiale a duré quatre ans et s’est déroulée sur pas moins de onze théâtres d’opérations à travers le monde. Des millions de personnes y ont perdu la vie. C’est finalement le front occidental qui a causé le plus de pertes humaines et où s’est décidée l’issue de la guerre. Pendant la guerre elle-même, au gré des gains territoriaux, les soldats sont retournés dans les cimetières provisoires où leurs camarades étaient tombés. Dès la fin de la guerre et durant les décennies qui ont suivi, des dizaines de milliers d’anciens combattants, de familles de défunts et de délégations officielles ont entrepris des pèlerinages sur les champs de bataille à la recherche de proches disparus dans un vaste mouvement d’hommage collectif ou individuel sans précédent dans l’histoire.

  Exposing and punishing "forgery"

  The policing of professions in the early modern era (15th-18th centuries)

  The aim of this conference is to examine the uses of the notion of ‘forgery’ in policing any given trade or economic activity in the early modern town and/or its peripheries. In other words, to question whether there existed one or more models of such suitable policing through the qualification of what was ‘fraud’. To state the ‘fraudulent’ character of a thing implied mobilizing an expertise, but also to recall and endorse an authority, including and perhaps especially in a context of existing competing jurisdictions, or standards. Is this accusation based primarily on legal, economic, social or religious dimensions? Is pointing at ’fraud’ a manner of making room for obedience or prohibitions, in search of the integrity of goods, prices and services to the public, or on the contrary a manner of circumscribing a status to the happy few? Does this accusation draw lines to exclude, serve to include by means of a constrained procedure, or merely reaffirm an existing rule?

  Forests in transitions. Concepts, methodes, assessments and prospective

  The symposium, international and interdisciplinary, will address a topical issue: forests, in all their diversity. They appear to be in “crisis” at a time of climate change, and their management is raising concerns. The subject will be approached from the angle of transitions, taking into account the polysemy of the concept: transition of the forests themselves; concept of forest transition; ecological, environmental, energy transitions... The purpose is to question the changes underway as a result of climate change, in connection with or in response to it, within the framework of mitigation and/or adaptation strategies. But other evolutionary factors need to be taken into account: the “greening” of society, other pressures arising from the Anthropocene, belonging to global change. These transitions will be questioned through 3 axes: 1) Concepts et methods; 2) Assessments et analysis ; 3) Prospective.

  Regions in evolution. Transitions, renewal and emerging forms of regionalisation

  The aim of this special issue is to update the analysis of the region in geography and spatial planning, with regard to current socio-territorial dynamics in a time of environmental transition. Reflecting the plasticity and polysemy of the concept of the region, the approach is deliberately broad. We are interested not only in the changes in existing regions – in spatial, territorial, socio-political terms among others –, but also in the forms and modes of regionalisation that emerge at different scales, more or less informal or formalised, and in different territorial or maritime contexts. The underlying question being how these -“neo-regions” respond to certain social needs or specific political challenges, or how they interact with the more institutional or formalised regions and territorial authorities.

  Résidence de chercheurs invités - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

  Visiting researchers residency - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

  Until now the reception history of ancient Greece in pre-modern Western Europe has focused almost exclusively on the transmission of Greek texts. Yet well before the revival of Greek teaching, numerous vernacular works, often illustrated, contained elaborate representations of ancient Greece. AGRELITA studies a large corpus of French language literary works (historical, fictional, poetic, didactic ones) produced from 1320 to the 1550s in France and Europe, before the first direct translations from Greek to French, as well as the images of their manuscripts and printed books. The project “The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550) : how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities”, directed by Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas, opens guest researchers residencies.

  François Hotman

  Un homme d’action, entre droit, histoire et théologie

  François Hotman (1524-1590) was born five hundred years ago. To mark the occasion, we thought it a good idea to dedicate to him an international conference in Geneva on November 21-22, 2024. A famous Calvinist jurisconsult, a virulent pamphleteer and a political thinker who is now part of the European philosophical tradition, Hotman remains a figure whom research only embraces through a few major works that receive recurring scrutiny. In reality, his writings as a humanist and jurist, his international correspondence, his connections with the most important Protestant theologians of the century, and his family of Ligue and royal officers are all objects of study that call for a re-problematisation of our interpretation of this dominant figure in Calvinist legal thought.

  Migrant work in the age of capitalism: insertions, daily life and professional sociability

  Panel - Association for the Anthropology of Social Change and Development (APAD) Conference 2024

  This panel examines the meanings of work for migrants and people in mobility in a capitalist context. On the one hand, it will analyse the insertion processes and experiences of mobile people in the worlds of work (and labour markets), On the other hand, it will look at the mechanisms and actors involved in migrants’ professional integration, particularly in the South. How do migrants generate income in transit places or destinations, how do they live their daily work lives, and what are the social and power relations they are confronted with?

  Emotions, masculinities, and violence from the Middle Ages to the present

  This conference proposes to question the evolution of violence over the long term. The articulation between masculinities, violence and emotions adopts different forms and stakes according to the historical context in which it occurred. Thus, the symposium will seeks to highlight the cultural stakes and the specific imaginary, as violence is defined in variable ways depending on historical, geographical, and discursive contexts. Therefore, the first objective will be to address the problem of sources: their production varied according to the aeras, which impacts the representation of the relationship between violence, gender and emotions.

  Documenting and Conserving Postmodern Heritage

  “Les Cahiers : Journal for the Study of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape”

  Les Cahiers: Journal for the Study of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape (Craup) launches its 21^st thematic dossier “Documenting and Conserving Postmodern Heritage”. This call for papers invites exploration of postmodern design —whether architectural, urban or landscape— produced anywhere in the world between 1966 and 1989, and currently undergoing processes of identification, heritagization or transformation. Some questions that may be explored are methods for identifying and promoting heritage, the specific features of these projects and the (new) heritage values associated with them, as well as their material and symbolic sustainability. International comparisons or overviews of ongoing heritage projects in specific political and cultural contexts are welcomed.
