  The musicians’ activity - work, training and health

  “Laboreal” Journal

  The characteristics of the activities that fall under the economic sector of music show a huge variety of places, schedules and work conditions, in addition to the informality of work contracts for a vast majority of musicians. Obviously, these factors interfere with the activity of preparation for music performance, with study habits, and most likely with public performance. In spite of that, the attention given to research and intervention regarding this category of workers is clearly scarce and there is not enough research to investigate the various aspects linked to performing music activities -- training, teaching and study practices, professional performance. Laboreal makes room for papers interested in the musicians’ activity, and invites researchers involved in these issues to contribute to the publication of this number.

  Technical Actors, Social Actors: from material remains to the Social Organisation of Labour. From Prehistory to Present

  The 43^rd event of the Nice Côte d’Azur International Meeting of Archaeology and History will deal with the division and social organisation of labour, as defined by material remains (tools, finished products, images, biological witnesses, etc.), considered at various spatial scales (domestic units, workshops, sites and territories) and over the long duration. The objective will therefore be to reflect, between specialists from different disciplines, cultures and periods, upon the social organisation of productive activities within ancient and present-day human communities, with a particular focus on the links between technical phenomena and social arrangements, and on the methods that enable to account for them.

  Refocusing on Roman provincial society

  Forms of coexistence and distinction in Rome's western provinces

  L’Association pour l’archéologie romaine en Suisse (ARS) organise un colloque intitulé « La société provinciale romaine en question - Formes de coexistence et de distinction dans les provinces occidentales de Rome ». Sur ce thème longtemps réservé aux historiens et aux épigraphistes, l’archéologie pose un regard nouveau : quels indices matériels permettent l’identification de l’ordre social, tant à l’échelle du territoire, du site, que de l’individu ? C’est à ces questionnements essentiels que cette rencontre scientifique propose de répondre - ou du moins d’apporter quelques pistes de réflexion. 25 chercheuses et chercheurs originaires de Suisse, d’Allemagne, d’Autriche, de France, d’Espagne, du Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis sont attendus pour ces deux journées qui s’annoncent fructueuses.

  Listening to the Archive: Artistic Uses of Sonic Remnants

  Revue « Filigrane : musique, esthétique, science, société », n° 29

  A growing interest in the question of archives, from the point of view of institutions, epistemology and ethics has gradually emerged since the end of the twentieth century. The “documental turn” or “documentary turn” has highlighted the need to reflect on new ways of exploring archives and cultural data (especially relating to artistic use) and on the dynamics of circulation, accumulation and extraction underlying their creation. While the conservation of archives often entails a lessening of their use, their artistic and civic exploitation launches a new phase of their existence, and opens up the way for acquiring new knowledge and rethinking common heritage. The special issue seeks to explore the creative potential of sound archives, often neglected by those institutions responsible for the management, conservation and safekeeping of cultural heritage.

  The National Archives presented in Paris the exhibition Facing epidemics, from the Black Death to the present day from October 12, 2022 to February 6, 2023. In continuation of this, the National Archives and the Ministry of Health and Prevention are organizing two days of study to draw up an inventory of research on the fight against epidemics throughout history and the contributions of research in the humanities and social sciences to the implementation of prevention policies. A first day will be an opportunity to question the contribution of historians to the knowledge of the response of societies to major epidemics over the long term. The second day will focus on prevention policies, through debates on defining their scope and how research can enrich public health policies.

  Machines, humains et animaux dans les mondes autochtones

  This special issue of EchoGéo calls for contributions that focus on the modes of existence of machines in these peripheral areas, as critical materialities and unexplored archives of the current spatial, social, political or environmental reconfigurations. If machines have so rarely been studied, it is because their exogenous and a priori standardizing character is problematic. On the contrary, we formulate the hypothesis that these materialities are a source of creativity and memory and that they constitute a privileged archive for understanding the contemporaneity of these societies throughout the world. The aim is to show what machines do to these lands and, in turn, what these lands do to machines.

  Use and Users

  Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère

  This thematic issue of Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère proposes to question the place of uses and users in the processes of design, implementation, development and evaluation of design projects. Although exceptional cases are not excluded, the aim is to understand the construction of architecture and the city through the analysis of ordinary and, if possible, unknown fields of experimentation. With this call for papers, we encourage the consideration of this research subject over the long term, inviting contributions from the various academic fields that analyze architecture, the city and the landscape. From a transdisciplinary perspective, the aim is to cross historical and sociological approaches by drawing on new sources and historicizing the question of use.

  Alpha Blondy, from yesterday to tomorrow

  A reggae committed to the rebirth of Africa

This symposium aims to bring together intellectual skills from around the world, in a multidimensional approach to lead the reflection on the career of Alpha Blondy and beyond, on the evolution of reggae music in the world. His goal is to draw up a critical assessment of the artist’s career while daring to project the future of reggae on the African continent.

  Legitimate consumption in medieval cities (12th-16th centuries)

  Ce colloque a pour but d’interroger la notion de consommation légitime dans les cités médiévales entre le XII^e et le XVI^e siècle. Qu’est-ce que la, ou plutôt les bonnes consommations ? Qui est légitime à dire la frontière entre l’indispensable et le superflu ? Pourquoi cette capacité à dire la norme devient-elle de plus en plus cruciale dans des mondes urbains en mutation rapide ? Le colloque sera particulièrement attentif à mener une approche comparatiste entre les différents espaces de l’Occident médiéval (Italie, péninsule ibérique, France, Angleterre, Pays-Bas, Empire...).

  Art contemporain africain : entre paradigmes, paradoxes et programmes internationaux

  « Art en train de se faire », « art qui se déploie », « art in situ », « art qui se démocratise », « anti-art »,  « art conceptuel », « art post-conceptuel », « art postmoderne »…, c’est dire toute la polémique autour d’une définition consensuelle de l’art dit contemporain. Le philosophe questionne les soubassements idéologiques et conceptuels ayant présidé à son émergence recherchant ainsi une approche globale de compréhension de ce phénomène. Ce dernier s’appuie notamment sur une observation rationnelle de l’évolution des sociétés, sur l’impact psychologique de cette évolution chez l’artiste, et autant que faire se peut sur l’interprétation phénoménologique des produits de l’art, dans un souci d’objectivation des mutations de la créativité artistique… Cet appel vise à pourvoir le catalogue d’exposition de textes scientifiques. Art et science seront ainsi mêlés dans une perspective pluri et interdisciplinaire.
