  Cantieri dell’Agiografia, 7th edition Rome

  The Cantieri dell’Agiografia (Hagiography Workshops) aim both at encouraging networking among scholars and at bringing out the most innovative research and methodologies in the field of hagiographical studies. This workshop provides a context in which the participants’ research can be showcased in diachronic and multidisciplinary forms. Participants are encouraged to discuss methodological tools, historical paths, and social and cultural interactions that, over the centuries and up to the present day, have sustained the process of recognition of sanctity, such as cultic practices, places of devotion, and forms of hagiographical communication.

  Degrowth as a way of thinking about the future of tourism?

  Development models based on the idea of growth have reached their limits from an environmental, social and human perspective. Moreover, the ideology according to which economic growth and technical progress are the only remedy for the various socio-ecological crises ignores the fact that six of the nine planetary limits (Rockstrom et al., 2009) are now outdated. The Summer School firstly plans to reflect on the concept of degrowth, within its critical and analytical scope. Then we will question the variations and challenges that come with it in the context of tourism areas. Finally, (alternative) local tourism development projects will be discussed from a degrowth perspective during field visits.

  Pastoral academies. A global phenomenon?

  The international symposium “Pastoral Academies. A global phenomenon?” offers an opportunity for researchers in literature and history to meet and discuss a phenomenon that has never been studied in its European or even global dimension: the development, from the 16^th to the very early 19^th century, of literary academies or cenacles adopting forms and names taken from bucolic literature.

  On Asceticism: Crossing Traditions, New Perspectives

  L’idée du colloque est de réunir des spécialistes issus de divers horizons disciplinaires, culturels et de genres, pour discuter de l’ascétisme. Au lieu de se concentrer sur l’évolution linéaire de certaines traditions ascétiques dans la philosophie occidentale, l’objectif est de souligner la multiplicité et la mutabilité de l’ascétisme au sein et au-delà des traditions occidentales. Outre les débats philosophiques et religieux de longue date sur l’ascétisme, nous accueillerons également des articles qui traitent de l’ascétisme dans un contexte contemporain, tel que la création et la critique artistiques, la santé et le bien-être, ou l’engagement dans les problèmes urgents de l’environnement.

  Insecure Conditions: ‘Precarity’ and ‘Precarisation’ in Contemporary History

  18th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History

  At the 18^th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History, we propose to take the concept of “precarity” as a starting point to inquire into situations of insecure circumstances in contemporary history: (co-)productions and perceptions of them, ways of dealing with them, and their effects on those exposed to them.

  Hemingway et l’Amérique du Sud

  La fabrique transculturelle du vivant

  The study of transculturality in Hemingway’s work, as proposed in this international conference, has a triple dimension: experiential, transtextual and intersubjective. Hemingway’s practice of transculturality was inspired by his passion for nature and the unconstrained possibilities of receiving and transmitting knowledge that the focus on nature as a universal good makes possible.

  Mapping the Other

  In Western space, mapping the Other is not a prescriptive notion to assign ossified identities. Rather, it is about questioning the link between these intersectional identities of otherness and the specificities of the various Western spaces. In other words, it invites a reconsideration of how the Others autonomously define themselves in the dominant and marginal spaces of the “normative order” of hegemonic societies, and how they integrate them to make them theirs—therefore challenging the systems of oppression implemented.

  Communication dynamics, ecological mobilizations and contemporary citizen participation

  The call for papers focuses on the repertoires of contemporary mobilization on ecology and the environment. This range includes info-communication (media, internet, social networks), educational, legal (including lobbying and advocacy), artistic, scientific, etc. Consensual forms coexist with more conflictual or radical forms, this radicality sometimes undermining environmental concertation efforts. We are also interested in the types of scientific and professional commitment that lead to particular forms of activism, sometimes assumed, sometimes questioned or denied (committed scientists, lawyers, architects, craftsmen, etc.). Finally, this colloquium intends to explore citizen participation in ecology, which, carrying an ethos and a singular organization, brings out knowledge, information and expertise that feed the public debate.

  In the shadow of the superpowers? Revisiting the relations between Cuba and Europe (20th century)

  Les liens et les processus de médiation entre Cuba et une grande partie de l’Europe au cours du XX^e siècle n'ont pas fait l’objet d'une analyse détaillée, en bonne partie car ils ont été éclipsés par les dynamiques de la Guerre froide et la longue histoire des influences exercées sur l’île tant par les États-Unis que par l’URSS. Nous nous proposons d'examiner ces « rapports oubliés » sur une période historique étendue qui, contrairement à l’écrasante majorité des travaux sur Cuba, ne divise pas la chronologie entre un avant et un après la victoire castriste de 1959. Ce cadre chronologique étendu a pour objectif de nous permettre de mettre en lumière les continuités et les ruptures des liens entre Cuba et l’Europe avant et après le renversement du dictateur Fulgencio Batista, nous incitant à réfléchir sur le « caractère fondateur » de la rupture de l’année 1959.

  Formation en langues secondes face à l’urgence

  Revue « Lidil » n° 69, mai 2024

  Migrants today find themselves in an “emergency” context aggravated by the pandemic. The uncertainty of their condition, due to practical, legal and institutional matters, has been worsen by the current issues related to health and security, which is weakening their integration process even more. In such a context, it is also urgent to reconsider the language needs of migrants, in other words, to address, in terms of language training, the urgency of their integration through language as well as the new difficulties in meeting the needs that they express as learners. Thus, this issue of Lidil seeks to deepen the reflection on topics related to second languages for migrants in the context of pandemic and post-pandemic emergency.

  Uprisings and resistance: contemporary issues of cinema and visual arts in Iran and across the diaspora

  How can we look at Iranian cinema and the visual arts in relation to Iran today when the country has been experiencing an important episode of uprising and resistance, since September 16, 2022? Indeed, as in 1979, 1999, and 2009, and as in 2017 and 2018, it is obvious that images play a decisive role in the constitution of events. Iranian artists and filmmakers are indeed demonstrating an exceptional mobilization and effervescence in order to bear witness to the ongoing protests, but also to support them and mobilize international public opinion.

  Contesting national borders today and tomorrow

  Actors, discourses, practices, proposals

  Étroitement liées à l’existence des États-nations, les frontières sont à la fois des marqueurs de souveraineté et d’identités, et des lignes imaginaires. Cependant, les tracés ne sont pas toujours perçus comme justes : imposés, négociés, issus de traités, ils résultent de « rapports de forces », de politiques coloniales, d’orientations idéologiques. À travers une approche empirique, ce colloque international cherchera à étudier la contestation des frontières non seulement à travers le prisme du pouvoir politique mais en privilégiant l’analyse des logiques et des stratégies des acteurs non étatiques, de leurs discours et revendications, des modalités d’organisation et de mobilisation.

  Afro Literature Conference

  Cuando decidimos abordar el estudio de la “literatura africana”, nos enfrentamos a una serie de problemas, en tanto campo complejo de tensiones, de núcleos constitutivos, de perspectivas, inherentes a toda etiqueta formada por la palabra literatura y un gentilicio. Una dificultad no menor la encontramos en los planes de estudios de las carreras de Letras en Argentina cuyo “patrón cognitivo” (Quijano 2017) aún persiste dentro de los rasgos de un patrón de poder fundado en la colonialidad: el centro no ha sido del todo desplazado, para decirlo con wa Thiong’o (2014).  El eurocentrismo académico en nuestro país perdura en el escaso interés que el pensamiento africano y afrodiaspórico ocupa en las carreras de Humanidades y Ciencias Sociales, con destacadas excepciones siempre individuales o colectivas pero rara vez institucionale.
