  Espaces périphériques et fragmentations internes : proximités géographiques et discontinuités sociales

  Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques face aux risques majeurs. Le retour de la distance

  Les territoires périphériques et ultrapériphériques se caractérisent par un éloignement certain des espaces métropolitains et des grands centres de commandement. Cela se traduit par des formes d’isolement, de marginalisation, et par une plus faible intégration à l’économie globale. La proximité n’est alors ni simple à définir, ni une protection contre les inégalités et les injustices spatiales. Elle reste un enjeu contemporain et futur. Dans cette perspective, sont attendues des propositions mettant en valeur ces fragmentations sur un de ces espaces périphériques ou ultrapériphériques. La proposition peut être faite à l’échelle de l’espace ou à une échelle plus fine, mais toujours interactive. D’autres propositions peuvent s’intéresser aux politiques mises en œuvre, avec les effets espérés.

  Clio, 60 (2024 – volume 2)

  This issue of Clio wishes to historicize the gender of speech in interaction with varying social spaces, from the most intimate to the most political. Our ambition is less to question the gender of language as a whole (feminist and queer research has analyzed language as both an object of power relations and the means of producing, transmitting and naturalizing symbolic domination, as well as a space and a tool for action). Instead, we would like to address the gender of speech and of the people involved in communication, without focusing on the specific dimension of the voice.

  Cultural studies and Cultural History, from elsewhere

  « Revue d'histoire culturelle » n°7 (2023-2)

  À l’heure où les cultural studies ont essaimé dans le monde, la multiplicité des approches et des démarches ne laisse d’interroger. Le prochain dossier de la rubrique « Épistémologie en débats » de la Revue d'Histoire culturelle questionnera la manière dont les historiographies étrangères ont pu acclimater les cultural studies et s’emparer d’éléments tels que l’entrée thématique par les groupes sociaux ; l’attention particulière accordée au regard et à l’objet culturel ; les protocoles d’enquêtes, notamment une méthode héritée des études littéraires et des enquêtes orales collectives, pragmatiques autant qu’empiriques, ou encore de manière plus frontale et plus politique, la capacité, l’agency, d’un groupe social à s’approprier un contenu culturel.

  Gold: wealth or curse?

  Revue « Afrique contemporaine »

  Recent years have brought a dramatic upsurge in Africa’s gold output – boosting the export earnings and goverment revenues of producer countries, fuelling hopes of additional resources for development. But many also fear there could be negative spillovers, particularly in eroding stability and good governance, the so-called “resource curse”. These are just two facets of what is a wide debate debate, as the gold sector has multiple economic, political, environmental and symbolic ramifications. This issue of Afrique contemporaine aims to provide studies on different aspects, focusing as much as possible on the link between gold and the various forms of conflict.

  Reflexivity and Autonomous Training: Realities, Reflection and Innovation

  La pandémie a révélé la précarité de plusieurs systèmes, notamment celui de l’éducation et de la formation. Du jour au lendemain, enseignants et apprenants avaient à s’acclimater aux technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) et aux nouveaux canaux pour enseigner et apprendre. N’ayant pas été formés à l’apprentissage autogéré, les apprenants se sentaient en déréliction ; les enseignants, eux, ne faisant pas travailler leurs publics en « lâcher-prise » et étant habitués à construire les savoirs dans l’interaction, peinaient à réajuster leur planification des cours. Ce colloque pluridisciplinaire se veut l’occasion d’élucider et d’approfondir certains concepts gravitant autour de la réflexivité dans différents domaines. Il aspire à mettre en lumière des expériences et/ou des recherches qui visent l’étude de la réflexivité dans la formation du sujet (jeune ou adulte) autonome.

  Contribution à une sociologie politique de l’inertie des politiques publiques

Multi-level analyses and international comparisons will be welcome, especially the case of revolutionary outcomes and authoritarian regimes.

  Sexual modernity

  Religions and the intimate sphere in contemporary times

  Our contemporary era is marked by changes in the relationship to sexuality that can be grouped under the term “sexual modernity”. Although these issues are intimate, they also have a strong collective dimension. Several recent societal debates, particularly in the West, whether on same-sex marriage, surrogate motherhood, sexual violence, or recently on abortion freedom and trans-identity, have shown that although they are not new, the questions of the relationship between sexual ethics and religions must nevertheless be studied in the light of the social, scientific, political and legal developments of the last decade. This colloquium proposes to examine the relationship between religions and sexuality in contemporary times.

  “InterArtes”, 2023 - Number 3

  Today, technological advances seem to point towards the artificial creation of complex singularities. The process of artistic creation is clearly at the heart of this paradigm shift whose implications are as much aesthetic and scientific as they are ethical, political, and then legal, economic, social, environmental... The third issue of InterArtes will be devoted to critically questioning the relationship between “Artistic Creativity and Automation”, both with theoretical contributions and with essays of a historical and empirical nature.

  Conference, symposium - Science studies

  Pierre Varignon, a “professional” geometer at the dawn of the Enlightenment

  A geometer and mechanic recognized by his contemporaries, an influential member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in epistolary contact with Leibniz, Newton and even the Bernoulli brothers, Pierre Varignon (1654-1722) shaped a scholarly trajectory that we would today call professional. He is a “normal” scientist, neither brilliant nor misunderstood, and it is in this that he deserves to be studied. The aim of this conference is to make this polymath scholar better known, to take stock of the studies that have been devoted to him over the past few decades and to encourage research that sheds light on lesser-known facets of his commitment, such as his role in the dissemination of knowledge, particularly as a teacher, his positions in contemporary debates, or his technical inventions.

  Le diagnostic comme fiction

  Soin, Sens et Santé – An International Journal of Health n° 1

  Ce numéro de la revue Soin, sens et santé – An International Journal of the Health Humanities souhaiterait s’interroger en priorité sur les textes romanesques ou dramatiques, dans lesquels se manifeste ce que l’on pourrait nommer une tentation diagnostique. Peut-on diagnostiquer un personnage de fiction ? Ou s’agit d’un coup de force, qui ne pourrait être au mieux que de l’ordre du diagnostic différentiel ? Quel est l’impact de ce geste interprétatif sur le statut du personnage ? Quelle est la crédibilité scientifique du diagnostic littéraire rétrospectif ? Un savoir médical extérieur au texte peut-il enrichir l’interprétation littéraire de ce dernier ?

  The visionary drawing and its knowledge

  Portraits and faces

  The workshop suggests to reflect on the transformations of the portrait and on the representation of the face in the visionary drawing of the 19^th and 20^th century. Associated with the research programme on the written and drawn archives of Théophile Bra (1797-1863) and supported by the University of Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Studies – USIAS, it aspires to open up the approach to the visionary drawing in order to comprehend its participation in epistemological and philosophical changes of modern times. It seeks to renew the methods of art history by including the history of science and of knowledge about the psyche, medicine and philosophy, which will encourage – beyond the definition of a visual culture – a reflection on the creativity they have in common in terms of images and graphic processes.

  Time and Justice, Timing Justice (early modern and contemporary periods, Europe and Americas)

  Recent sociological research on justice emphasises the extent to which time has become a central issue in the functioning and legitimacy of the judicial institution. However, the temporality of justice as a social activity has been little studied in itself by historians. The conference aims to put the contemporary acceleration of justice into perspective by observing the relationship of justice to time over several centuries. The aim is to understand how justice constructs its temporalities and articulates them with other social temporalities in the modern and contemporary eras, in different spaces, contexts and legal cultures.

  Dancing to the Empire’s Limits (16th-18th centuries)

  L’Espagne est un maillon essentiel dans l’économie des langages chorétiques européens à l’époque moderne. Sans nier le rôle matriciel de la France et de l’Italie, il faut donc rappeler son rôle dans un réseau de pratiques communes aux cours européennes et alimentées par leurs échanges et leurs dialogues. Or, par l’ampleur de son empire et de son influence culturelle, la monarchie hispanique contribua à la diffusion des codes et des modes de la danse européenne jusque dans les territoires de ses vice-royaumes, tout en intégrant par différents procédés d’hybridation, certaines des traditions chorégraphiques propres à ces cultures. C’est dans ce grand cadre de réflexion que se situe l’appel à projet du colloque « Danser jusque dans les confins de l’Empire (XVI^e-XVIII^e siècle) », qui aura lieu les 26 et 27 juin 2023 à la Casa de Velázquez à Madrid.

  Afro-Diasporic Imaginaries in 20th and 21st–Century Latin American and Caribbean Literature and Visual Arts

  Nakan Journal

  In this volume, we would like to analyze in depth the paths taken by the 20th and 21st century Latin American and Caribbean letters in relation to the experience of the black diaspora in dialogue with the visual arts, as well as in relation to the main themes, forms and techniques used by artist, playwrights, poets, storytellers and writers. In a context of increasing violence and intolerance towards minorities in Latin America, we will welcome analyses that focus on the relationship between literature and the resistance of the cultures created by the black diaspora.
