  Max Richter: Quotations and Cultural Meaning

  Figure majeure du monde de la musique contemporaine, Max Richter entretient un rapport étroit avec le passé qu’il ne cesse de revisiter pour éclairer le présent sous un nouveau jour. Tant l’intertextualité musicale que textuelle sont au centre de son œuvre qui multiplie des emprunts au répertoire classique et à la Weltliteratur. De la réécriture des Quatre saisons de Vivaldi à la citation de larges extraits de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme dans Voices, la démarche postmoderne de Richter interroge la construction du signifié musical, le rôle de la musique dans notre société, ainsi que son rapport au passé et à la mémoire collective. Le colloque Max Richter: Quotations and Cultural Meaning est le premier événement scientifique consacré au compositeur.

  Call for papers - Africa

  Trade unionism and changing world of work in Africa

  As opposed to what is frequently claimed in political and academic debates, wage labour and trade unionism in Africa are not outdated or doomed. Although labour unions, since the 1980s, have been severely affected by structural adjustment programmes, wage labour in its various manifestations is persistent, and a myriad of active labour unions exist. This conference will address cross-cutting issues around trade unionism and labour in Africa. Proposals from all human and social sciences, as well as transdisciplinary and activist contributions, are welcome in French or in English.

  Political education: citizenship, moral training and teaching of religion

  International approaches (19th-21st centuries)

  Major international surveys such as the ICCS survey of the IEA (International Association of the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) or that of the European network Eurydice have been devoted to citizenship learning at school from a comparative perspective, but they have shown little interest in non-school actors or in the relations of these actors with education. Moreover, they only marginally address the relationship between citizenship learning, moral education, religious education or teaching about religions. It is these relationships that the conference aims to shed light on by exploring the institutional, professional, epistemological and political issues at stake in public educational, not only in official texts, but at every level.

  Photomontage and Représentation

  « Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère » - Dossier thématique, Numéro 18

  In the 1930s, photomontage was defined as a composition or montage of fully or partially cut-out photographs, which may include text, color or drawings, as can be seen in recent exhibitions. Since the first decades of the 20th century until today, photomontage has just as much examined artistic production as it has architecture, landscape, and the city. It thus serves as a rich subject in the contemporary image sphere, in terms of shedding light on the exchange between fields, and for analyzing transformations in the realm of history and representation. To this end, this current issue puts forth three lines of investigation.

  Troglodyte architecture: Safeguarding, Valorization and Sustainable development

  Giving the current recognition of the importance of the vernacular architecture that insures energy-efficientand environmentally friendly, the troglodyte architectural heritage, which has been for a long time considered as an unsuitable habitation architecture, shows actually ecological qualities and interesting architectural andcultural proprieties. The South Tunisian troglodyte architecture is one of the precious and representative heritage in South Mediterranean area. It represents a result of human creative genius, using local natural resources for surviving in an extreme environment. In 2020, this architecture was been included into the Unesco World Heritage Tentative List. The current Congress is intended to be an effective contribution to the state of art, to the sustainable development of troglodyte sites, and to the preparation of the nomination file of this architectural heritage for its inscription into the Word Heritage List of Unesco (WHL).

  Margins and boundaries in linguistic categorization

  Categorization is a basic cognitive process. The classical view of categorization considers categories as clear-cut and homogeneous – no element can belong to two distinct categories, and all the elements within a category have the same status. However, Rosch’s [1973] research in psychology posits that categories are organized around a central element called “prototype”, with other elements moving progressively further from it. Lexis – Journal in English Lexicology – will publish its 22^nd issue in 2023 on the topic “Margins and boundaries in linguistic categorization”.

  From disability to human variation. Old narratives, new narratives

  European and American societies 19th-21st centuries

  The title of this issue of Amnis journal, ‘From disability to human variation’, reflects the concern of disability studies to move away from thinking of disability as a stigma and to consider it within a vast field that embraces all forms of bodily, sensory and cognitive diversity within the human community. In order to address the question from a broad spectrum, papers should focus on the following areas: Disabilities, struggles and social movements (from exclusion to ‘nothing about us without us’), Disability policies (national and/or transnational historical approaches), Disabled bodies and ideological constructs, Disability and identity, a category to be understood in an intersectional way.

  Legal humanism

  Legal humanism, eloquence and rhetoric

  Composante essentielle du renouveau intellectuel européen, le courant dit « humanisme juridique » (it. Umanesimo giuridico, angl. Legal Humanism, all. humanistische Jurisprudenz), particulièrement fécond aux XV^e et XVI^e siècles, se définit par une approche des textes hérités du droit romain qui s’oppose et en même temps complète les traditions médiévales de la glose et du commentaire. Des chercheurs travaillant sur l’humanisme juridique ont décidé de créer un groupe de travail qui les rassemble. Il s’agit de faciliter la convergence, l’échange et la mise en commun de ressources entre les spécialistes partenaires, qui ressentent le besoin d’approfondir leurs connaissances de façon complémentaire et souhaitent la mise en place d’une action commune et coordonnée dans le domaine de l’humanisme juridique.

  Deux post-doctorats pour le projet « Urbanisations subalternes dans les montagnes touristique d’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est » (URBALTOUR)

  Two post-doctoral positions for the project "Subaltern Urbanization in the Touristic Mountains of Southern and South-Eastern Asia" (URBALTOUR)

  L’ANR URBALTOUR (Urbanisations subalternes dans les montagnes touristique d’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est) analyse les convergences entre logiques urbaines et touristiques à partir des stations d’altitude fondées à l’époque coloniale en Inde, au Sri Lanka, au Myanmar, au Vietnam, en Indonésie et en Malaisie. Dans le cadre de ce projet sont proposés deux contrats post-doctoraux. Le premier pour une durée de douze mois en études urbaines et/ou touristiques consistera à étudier deux stations d’altitude de l’époque coloniale jusqu’à nos jours dans une perspective à la fois urbaine et touristique en Malaisie (Cameron Highlands) et en Indonésie. Le second, d'une durée de dix-huit mois en histoire coloniale, consistera à travailler, à partir d'archives, à l'étude des stations d’altitude à l’époque coloniale dans une perspective à la fois urbaine et touristique en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est (Malaisie, Indes orientales néerlandaises, Indochine française, Inde britannique, Ceylan).

  The “civilisation du journal” in the Mediterranean from the Late Eighteenth Century to the World War I

  L’objectif de ce colloque international est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes prises par la « civilisation du journal » qui s’est développée à partir de la fin du XVIII^e siècle, et jusqu’à la première guerre mondiale, dans les espaces méditerranéens qui, sans avoir été précurseurs, ont aussi connu un grand développement journalistique. L’approche se veut sociale, culturelle et matérielle, dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique récent des études sur la presse, afin de saisir la manière dont les journaux ont été produits et les entreprises de presse gérées, de saisir toutes les formes de circulations et pratiques journalistiques et d’interroger le rapport de ces journaux à l’image.

  Nachtleben und Clubkultur in Zeiten einer Pandemie

  Le temps d’une journée de discussions et de rencontres, Night Studies propose un état des lieux de la recherche et de la réflexion sur le monde de la nuit et des musiques électroniques, en France et en Allemagne. Après les confinements successifs, les fermetures longues durées ou encore les contraintes sanitaires, qu’en est-il de l’état de la vie nocturne aujourd’hui ? Les deux années que nous venons de traverser resteront marquées par une recrudescence des fêtes clandestines, comme le signe d’une revendication collective au droit à la fête, à la danse. Quant aux réouvertures conditionnées à la distanciation sociale, au port du masque, aux jauges réduites et à l’augmentation des contrôles, elles ont considérablement fragilisé les clubs et modifié les habitudes festives.

  The relevance of Eugen Ehrlich’s thought to empirical methods of law

  The year 2022 marks the centenary of Eugen Ehrlich's death. This great Austro- Hungarian jurist is often presented as the father of legal sociology. As a close observer of legal practices, he was the first to use and invent concepts that have become fundamental in legal sociology today, such as legal pluralism, living law, and legal consciousness. Ehrlich’s research revisits and reverses the illustrious tradition of the Pandects, established and perfected by legal scholars such as Savigny or Puchta. Although Ehrlich has inspired jurists around the world, he remains a little known figure in France. The present symposium is therefore devoted to reconsider the actuality of his thought, using the last chapters of his Grundlegung der Soziologie des Rechts (Foundation of the Sociology of Law) as a main reference. During the first day, specialists will introduce us to the concepts of his methodology of legal sociology and the influence he had on his contemporaries. Once the fundamentals have been established, the second day will highlight the dynamics of Ehrlich's thought for law contemporary research.

  The Book is a phenomenon that combines the fascination of its manifestations of yesteryear to the current debates and practices that announce future paths and dilemmas. We propose in this call an exercise that recovers the procedures and techniques that gained body to welcome another invention, that of writing, which inscribes the history of copyists, printing typographers who moved between cities and countries in search of business, that of their emergence in monasteries, courts, universities, binder workshops and typographies, that of street vendors and that of the production and marketing circuits.

  Knowledge productions and their diffusion in Protohistoric societies: comparative and multidisciplinary approaches

  This international symposium brings together transdisciplinary researchers in order to renew the outlook on European Protohistory. Protohistoric societies having left few texts, can sites or artefacts tell us about the immaterial production of knowledge? Recent researches on comparatism, in archaeoastronomy, ethnomathematics, paleopathology or bioarchaeology, show that these societies produced knowledge and transmitted it, raising the question of the exchange of this knowledge and technologies. The texts produced by the contemporaries of the Celts show a complex and codified culture, corroborated by the found artefacts. Our gaze must therefore depart from a disciplinary compartmentalization, researches combining archaeology, astronomy, artificial intelligence, mathematics, provide interesting answers on this question.

  Reading the soil in archaeology: field practice and interdisciplinary perspectives

  Soil features have been at the heart of archaeological questioning for several years, stimulated in particular by the work carried out in preventive archaeology. Their identification, particularly in the field, remains a source of new data and new approaches. Their interpretation is becoming an indispensable step in the archaeological research and can, for certain periods, play a central role. The symposium aims to promote the interdisciplinary reading of the soil component in field archaeology, relying in particular on the contribution of earth sciences in general.
