    Beyond clichés: social-cultural representations and practices of polygamy across Sub-Saharan women’s creative works

    Seminar Series: Women in French Australia

    In this seminar we propose to re-centre various cultural representations arising from literature (oral and written), artistic mediums, media, music and cinema by Francophone Sub-Saharan women. Importantly, this seminar aims to go beyond the denunciation-celebration axis that has so far tinged many a study on polygamy in cultural representations from the continent to explore polygamy in all its forms, including unofficial extra-marital relations implying tacit acceptance of polygamy (Boni, 139), and modes of expression.

    The public use of subordinate writings in the early modern and modern periods

    We invite contributions dedicated to the dynamics of the re-signification of subaltern writings in public space in the early modern and modern period. Ordinary writings produced by subaltern actors (popular classes, men and women, childhood) in the transition from the private to the public sphere should therefore be investigated with particular attention to the spaces used, the practices adopted, the strategies of visibility (or obscuration) chosen, the appropriations by civil society, the policies of preservation of popular memory and the pedagogical- didactic use of writings.

    The Levant and the Mediterranean

    Technè, n°59, 2025-1

    At the crossroads of the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean, the Levant has always been a multicultural area, a zone of contact between Asia, Africa and Europe. Since the 19th century, archaeological digs have been revealing the archaeology and history of this region. This issue of Technè reflects the changes and challenges facing archaeology in this region, and highlights the contribution of a multidisciplinary approach to the knowledge and preservation of the Levant's heritage, from the Neolithic period to the end of the Middle Ages.

    After the wreckage...?

    Wreck recovery, reuse and recycling

    The musée national de la Marine and the Département des recherches archéologiques subaquatiques et sous-marines partner up and join forces to organize an international symposium dedicated to the recovery, and potential reuse/recycling of material remains from maritime orriver boats, after they have been wrecked, permanently decommissioned or abandoned. Excluded from this theme are the remains of drowned bodies retrieved from wrecks or washed ashore. Chronologically, the focus is on the long term, from Antiquity to the present day. No geographical limits have been set.

    Words from Taiwan: emergence, mediation, interpretation

    Taiwan is a challenge for researchers, whether they are historians, anthropologists, sociologists, economists, political scientists, linguists, geographers, demographers, experts in theatre studies / dramaturgy, communications, IT, museum curators or cultural heritage professionals. This conference will look at Taiwan’s progress, its society, literature, religions, languages and exchanges with the rest of the world, as well as its prospects for development. It will also address the complex geopolitical environment, without losing sight of Taiwan’s place in the field of research in France.

    The sexual harasser: gendered perspectives and discourses on a figure in need of historicizing

    The conference concerned by this call for paper is part of the AVISA project aiming at the identification of other periods in the past, in the Western world and well before #MeToo, during which behaviours that can be classified as sexual harassment were experienced or exposed by women and men who, in some instances, combatted them either in court or through creative modes of expression. It intends to explore the phenomenon of sexual harassment by questioning the way it is perceived through a focus not on the figure of the victim but on that of the perpetrator. This will enable us to approach the history of sexual harassment from the angle of the censure or justification of behaviour that falls today into the category of sexual harassment―which we define along with UN Women as encompassing “non-consensual physical contact, like grabbing, pinching, slapping, or rubbing against another person in a sexual way”.

    Enfants en décolonisation : migrations contraintes et construction individuelle (1945-1980)

    The conference concerned by this call for paper is part of the ANR program Children in decolonization: forced migrations and individual construction (EN-MIG) and aims at restituting the program’s results. It focuses on forced migration to France or its possessions involving children from different parts of the decaying French colonial empire. The comparative dimension lies at the heart of this symposium. It should make it possible to shed light on both the common points and the specificities of each collective migratory history. The trajectories of migrant children are often intertwined and also benefit from being studied from a connected history perspective.

    Hollywood Before the Code (1921-1934)

    We propose to bring together scholars interested in the first decades of Hollywood’s production to examine the socio-political, ideological, and aesthetic negotiations conducted by the studios before July 1934, to go beyond the approach that consists in reducing “Pre-Code cinema” to the early days of the talkies, generally approached through the prism of scandal, provocation, and the expression of the forbidden. The aim is to take a fresh look at the impact of this rise in censorship from 1921 onwards, on the evolution of genres (and even the emergence of new ones), and on the intensification of the public conversation on the need for censorship.

    Ethnography and Participatory Research

    Current State and Forms of Action Research in Social Sciences

    Today’s societal and environmental challenges make it all the more important to bring together scientific knowledge, action and experience. Citizens are getting involved with scientists, and vice versa, in the production of knowledge that can be used for action and can play a transformative role. This participatory science and research movement has developed and become particularly structured in recent years. It is in this context that the question of the forms of ethnographic intervention - both long-standing and constantly evolving - has come to the fore. It is linked to major issues relating to social and cultural change, the relationship between science and society, social, environmental, economic and political issues, the ways in which anthropology and sociology are involved and applied, and the variety of professions open to social sciences.

    The war of the waves revisited. Cultural and political uses of radio within contexts of domination

    « RadioMorphoses » n° 11

    This thematic issue of RadioMorphoses will gather with researches working on radio in contexts charaterized by domination. Although it will especially welcome articles focusing on the uses of radio in colonial settings, in situations characterized by racial domination or ethnic domination, proposals relating to the wider field of domination can be considered. The central question at the basis of this volume will be to analyze the dynamics binding together radio, community and power; either in aiming to reproduce social hierarchies or to contest it? How has radio been used to build cultural identities within oppressive situations? Did it rely on community, particularly race-based ones? How divers publics have appropriated broadcasting contents, often in unexpected manners? This thematic issue also seeks to bring together fruitful perpectives that rarely intersect.

    The visionary drawing and its knowledge: artists’ diagrams

    If ever there was a graphic line that carried the desire to visualise the invisible, it is the diagram. This workshop aims to examine the way in which artists used diagrams in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By favouring case studies, it aims to renew the study of artists’ and writers’ diagrams that have already been identified and to bring to light previously unidentified artistic works, in order to understand how they function as images and thought processes, as well as their relationship to the scientific modes of visualisation of their time.

    The “Professional Worlds” of Architectural Ornament: Actors and Practices from the 18th Century to the Present Day

    This colloquium aims to contribute to a better understanding of the "professional worlds" of architectural ornament, by fostering a dialogue between two dynamic fields of research that have hitherto rarely been connected: the history of ornament and the history of professions linked to architecture and construction. Resolutely positioned on the side of the actors and professional practices, this event invites reflections related to the spectrum of ornament professionals, the relationship between professions, as well as the concrete organization of production chains. Contributions may cover a broad contemporary period (encompassing the 18th century and extending to the present day) marked, in particular, by the development of mass-produced ornaments and by frequent theoretical debates about the place of ornamentation. All cultural and geographical areas may be studied.

    Tensions dans le genre

    This special issue of Cahiers d’études africaines looks at the production of knowledge on gender in sub-Saharan Africa. Researchers have observed an empirical tension between, on the one hand, persistent structural gender inequalities and, on the other, women’s significant economic autonomy, their strong presence in public space, and their considerable spatial mobility. This issue aims to bring together studies that rely on empirical materials to shed light on analytical tensions specific to research on gender dynamics in Africa.

    Art as Philosophy?

    The reception of classical German philosophy by artists, from the 19th century to the present day

    While the reception of classical German philosophy by French philosophers has been the subject of a number of studies, thanks in particular to the development of studies on cultural transfers, research has so far given little attention to the question of its knowledge and use by artists. The aim of the conference is to open up a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, informed by case studies, on the role of the discovery of German Idealist and Romantic philosophies among European and American artists (visual, performing and scenic arts), from the early nineteenth century to contemporary art.
