Call for papers - Language

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills

What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?

In L’économie du XX^e siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

Feminist Utopias at Work

Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish

Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.

Éros au musée

Acquérir, montrer et voir les œuvres érotiques

Le musée n’est pas seulement un lieu d’exposition : il est aussi un espace où se négocient sans cesse la visibilité et la valeur des œuvres. En suivant la thèse formulée par Walter M. Kendrick – selon laquelle l’isolement d’images jugées inmontrables a contribué, paradoxalement, à constituer la catégorie autonome de la pornographie –, ce colloque propose d’explorer le rôle du musée dans la construction et la reconfiguration des regards genrés portés sur les objets liés à la sexualité et/ou au désir (érotiques et pornographiques).

Anecdotes: Theory and Practice of Narrative

Journal Communications (2027) - varia

Across academic disciplines, the use of anecdote has received little attention. This despite the fact that they punctuate our professional and social practices : they are the stuff of our writing, our teaching, and our conversations. Present in the many sources, data, and materials that sustain the humanities and social sciences, anecdotes are also often decisive in the choice of our research objects. The freedom of tone that characterizes anecdotes allows overlooked or undervalued subjects to emerge, reshaping disciplines and their objects of study. The rise of research focused on marginalized people, social groups, and issues owes much to a renewed interest in sources once deemed unreliable – reported speech, hearsay, gossip, or indeed anecdote.

Islamophobia(s): North African Perspectives

The concept of Islamophobia is widely used in studies on racism, discrimination, and security policies in Europe, it remains more prevalent in Anglophone scholarship than in Francophone academic debates. the concept has received little attention in the Maghreb (North Africa), despite the region’s close and multifaceted historical, political, and social connections to the phenomenon. We invite researchers to engage with the concept of Islamophobia, as well as with related notions (such as hatred, hostility, discrimination, or racism directed against Muslims, Islam, Arabs, or North Africans), from one or more Maghrebi perspectives, in order to discuss the term’s scholarly relevance.

Urban Metamorphoses: Socio-Spatial Dynamics in Arab Cities

Revue « EchoGéo »

Since the beginning of the 20^th century, the Arab world has undergone rapid urbanization. Today, global cities in the region such as Doha and Dubai have themselves become exporters of new urban paradigms to the wider Arab world and beyond. This issue of EchoGéo aims to explore these urban metamorphoses through a multidisciplinary and comparative approach, connecting dynamics across North Africa and the Middle East, and to bridge three elements: understanding the forces that deeply transform Arab cities, examining how they unfold in concrete places, and giving full attention to the resistances, detours, and inventions that redraw urban life.

Languages of Instruction and Digital Technology: A Study of Challenges, Innovations, and Future Prospects

Revue Plurilingue ELLiC - Volume 10, n°1 (2026)

The integration of digital technology into language teaching has transformed traditional pedagogical approaches, facilitating access to a wider range of interactive and personalized resources. However, this digital shift presents significant challenges regarding teaching methodologies and the skills needed to master new tools. While digital technology promises significant benefits in terms of flexibility, individualization, and material diversity, it also raises concerns about access inequality, learning quality, and the evolving role of the teacher.

Le spectacle des arcanes

Le travail de l’administration sur elle-même dans l’Europe moderne (représentations, savoirs, matérialités)

In a now-celebrated text, Denis Richet analyzed how the monarchy shaped itself. In its second year, this webinar invites participants to build on his analysis by shifting the focus to the institutional, individual, and collective actors who, in their daily exercise of sovereignty, worked to shape their own offices, challenge the orders they received, and invent an ancient origin for their practices. These practices were often recently established as a result of political manoeuvres, disgrace, or dynastic change.

Transformations in political activities and careers in light of legal regulation and related instruments

Journal L'Année sociologique - special issue

Over the past thirty years, most European countries have adopted legislation designed to regulate political activities and the boundaries of professional politics. These laws have been introduced in response to societal demands, a lack of trust in representatives and institutions, and ’political crises’ and ’scandals’ involving elected officials. These laws and instruments contribute to the formation and governance of a group of political professionals. For example, instruments have been developed to support the ethical transformation of political spaces and the definition of good practices.

Religion in Societies: Multidisciplinary Approaches

The LLSETI (Laboratoire langages, littératures, sociétés, études transfrontalières et internationales) laboratory organizes its biennial study day dedicated to doctoral students, focusing in 2026 on “Societies and Religion.” This interdisciplinary event aims to combine approaches from literature, history, linguistics, philosophy, and social sciences to explore the multiple relationships between religion and society. Religion is considered in its diversity — institutions, beliefs, rituals, identities, relations to power, and secular forms — while also taking into account contemporary critiques of the concept itself. Proposals may address interactions between faith, society, culture, and politics, the construction of religious identities, or the ethical and moral dynamics arising from religious practice.

Zouglou: Music, politics and society

Musique urbaine née au début des années 1990 dans les cités universitaires d’Abidjan, le zouglou s’est imposé comme une forme d’expression artistique populaire et engagée, portée par une jeunesse ivoirienne en quête de reconnaissance, de justice et de dignité. Ce colloque international entend interroger le zouglou dans sa richesse multidimensionnelle : musicale, linguistique, politique, esthétique, sociologique et historique. Il s’inscrit dans une perspective interdisciplinaire et transversale, en croisant les apports des sciences humaines et sociales, de la musicologie, de la littérature, des arts du spectacle, de l’anthropologie, des études culturelles et politiques.
