  Charged Objects

  Performing the Soul of Things

  By the obscure life that is theirs, by their “auratic” power, some objects do not appear as inert human possessions but instead as “actants”, with specific features, energies, and potentials. We call them objets chargés. When, where, and how does an object of this type take on a theatrical life and become performative? How does the agency of the object, alongside its aesthetics, manifest itself? What is the impact on performance or staging of this switch from passive object to “actant”? These questions prompt us to think outside of methodologies in theatre and performance studies that feature solely human agents of artistic practice and scholarship. We invite papers that address the performance of charged objects.

  Autonomy

  Perspective, no. 2024-1

  The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2024 – 1 issue, the question of autonomy in art. In addition to contributions focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which seem to be the periods most concerned, the journal in this issue coordinated with Maxime Boidy (Université Gustave-Eiffel) would like specialists in the history of modern art, the Renaissance, Middle Ages, and Antiquity, to explore the prehistory of this notion, anywhere the political order, religious structures, and cultural and social dynamics have shaped or anticipated its contemporary definitions.

  Corporations facing inflation

  L’inflation est de retour. Bien que les économistes considèrent volontiers qu’elle serait transitoire, il y a de bonnes raisons de penser qu’elle pourrait durer. Le retour de l’inflation est-il un retour aux années 1970 ? Les entreprises, la technologie et l’environnement économique et social ont beaucoup changé depuis cette période. Des nouvelles études sur les adaptations des organisations à l’inflation deviennent donc indispensables et urgentes. Ce numéro spécial de Gérer et comprendre souhaite confronter les analyses des économistes avec des enquêtes plus qualitatives portant sur les conduites adoptées par les directions d’entreprises, les employés, les sous-traitants, les prestataires de services, les clients, les financiers, les investisseurs et les pouvoirs publics pour s’adapter à l’inflation.

  Centre d’études médiévales d’Auxerre Bulletin (BUCEMA) – Varia section

  Issue 27.1

  Le Bulletin du Centre d’études médiévales d’Auxerre (BUCEMA) est une revue scientifique à comité de lecture consacrée aux études sur le Moyen Âge. Fidèle à son principe de diffusion de la recherche en train de se faire et librement accessible, le BUCEMA continue à mettre l’accent sur l’interdisciplinarité ‐ sciences humaines et sociales, sciences de la nature et mathématiques ‐ comme le meilleur moyen d’inventer une nouvelle médiévistique. Il est particulièrement intéressé par les contributions proposant des nouvelles méthodes, faisant état d’expériences dans le domaine des humanités numériques (digital humanities) et des nouvelles technologies, s’interrogeant sur les implications épistémologiques et conceptuelles des recherches sur le Moyen Âge.

  Social protest and its futures

  For a temporal approach to political action

  Dans quelles temporalités futures s’inscrivent les mobilisations contemporaines ? Cet appel à communication part des postulats selon lesquels les temporalités qui entourent la vie sociale sont nécessairement multiples et parfois antagonistes ; que les projections des individus vers les horizons temporels futurs cohabitent avec celles d’autres rapports au temps, qu’il s’agisse des horizons temporels passé et présent ou des rythmes, des échéances, des sentiments l’urgence ou d’ennui ; et que les imaginaires du futur façonnent des états émotionnels (individuels ou collectifs) qui orientent le contenu des pratiques visant à transformer le monde. À partir de ces postulats, cet appel souhaite regrouper des chercheur·euses travaillant sur les fondements temporels des contestations sociales contemporaines.

  Femmes de sciences

  For this sixth thematic dossier, the online journal Design, Arts, Media is launching a call for contributions on the relationship between women and science. How to confront, reread and question the role of women at the crossroads of historiographies in science, art and design? Without reducing the roles devolved to creation and research, but on the contrary by looking at the friction, confrontations, nuances, paradoxes and demarcations between practices and knowledge, how can we think about histories together, but also their specificities? What are the new critical stakes for thinking the role of women as creators of knowledge? Particularly sensitive to the place of women in the theorization of design and media, this issue wishes to welcome contributions in visual and cultural history, sociology, philosophy, anthropology of humanities and social sciences, art, design and architecture, since the beginning of the twentieth century.

  Families and kinship

  Families and kinship in the face of environmental upheaval: mutations and resistances?

  Environmental changes have been impacting the living conditions of several populations around the world, at different times. In response to current climate changes, environmental policies encourage or imply profound changes in our ways of life. This conference proposes to examine in what ways do adaptations to environmental changes contribute, or could they contribute, to affect family life and/or kinship relationships.

  “Privileged Migrations” Studies and the Plurality of Power Relations

  This thematic dossier builds on the framework of privileged migrations studies to analyze the multiple power relations that are forged around international or overseas mobility, the resources that enable it, the benefits that it generates, the social mobility that it induces, and the forms of domination that it consolidates or reconfigures. This thematic dossier aims to account for dominant positions characterized by the accumulation of resources, advantages, and benefits accumulated through migration, as well as more ambivalent migratory experiences where the exercise of domination and the experience of minorization are intertwined and where migratory privilege must be nuanced. The contributions analyze the subjective experience of these advantageous social positions in migration, while approaching them relationally.

  Diplomacy and Literature

  “Diplomacy and Literature” aims to examine the link and permeability between literature and diplomacy. Are Diplomacy and Literature two concentric circles? How does one become a writer? How is the diplomat-writer experience conveyed via literature? What cultural practices are being used? Who serves as a source of inspiration for writers-diplomats? Does language become a vehicle of culture? What are their preferred literary genres? How does diplomacy inspire literature? What is the ‘writers-diplomats’ contribution into shaping international relations? These are some of the questions that participants in the Conference will be asked to consider.

  (Cyber)bullying

  Le colloque international sur le (cyber)harcèlement (Cicy) envisage le phénomène de manière large, incluant les dynamiques de harcèlement (scolaire, moral, sexuel), de cyberharcèlement, de violence et de haine en ligne, dans des contextes sociaux variés et au sein de différents groupes sociaux. Les communications proposées ont tout d'abord trait aux enjeux définitionnels du (cyber)harcèlement et aux actions de lutte ou de prévention développées pour y faire face. Une attention est également portée aux rôles que jouent les affects, les émotions, les algorithmes ou encore les rapports sociaux de domination (dans une perspective intersectionnelle) dans les violences en ligne.

  Atmospheres in Film

  Revue « Ambiances »

  L′objectif de ce numéro de la revue Ambiances n’est pas de définir l’atmosphère au cinéma de manière définitive, mais plutôt de permettre l’émergence de nouveaux dialogues interdisciplinaires. Pour ce faire, nous accueillerons des contributions issues de différents domaines de recherche et qui proposeront des approches aussi bien esthétiques, techniques, historiques, communicationnelles, philosophiques, phénoménologiques que psychologiques. En diversifiant les approches de l’atmosphère au cinéma et l’éventail des œuvres étudiées (fiction, documentaire, expérimental, films d’animation, etc.), nous espérons que chaque article pourra agir comme une surface réfléchissante nous permettant de révéler la richesse de ce terme.
