  How Environmentalist Mobilizations Shape Buildings, Cities and Landscapes

  Continuing on the set of concerns explored in issue number 11, “Thinking about Architecture through its Resources,” this issue of Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère (CRAUP) also addresses the ways in which ecological questions affect the design of inhabited spaces, however, it seeks contributions that focus more specifically on the interactions between architectural, urban and landscape professions and citizen-led environmental mobilizations.

  Museum Storytelling: Collectiong Sotries, Inventing Narratives

  Museography or expography are increasingly thought of in terms of narrative, storytelling, and even self-narrative. While exhibitions and museums seem to want to address the affect and the senses as much as the intellect of the visitors, to whom they wish to not only transmit knowledge as well as propose a visit experience, the stories proposed and the spaces where they are inscribed are changing under the influence of the “narrative turn” as observed since the 1990s, as well the “visual turn” and the “affective turn,” which for the last two decades have been jointly influencing the humanities. In keeping with Leslie Bedford’s assertion in The Curator. The Museum Journal that “telling stories” is “the real work of museums” (2001), this international symposium proposes to map the new expositional practices of museums — collecting, archiving, scenography, website, communication on social media, production of texts — and the types of narratives that they revive, reinvent, or bring out.

  Sharing and occupy public space in gentrified neighborhood: lecture of Jacques Rancière

  Based on the concepts and methods of the philosopher Jacques Rancière, we propose to conceive the process of gentrification as a scene of sharing and disagreement. Scene on which the paradox of a forced access to housing and a shared occupation of public space occurs. Three terms of the conceptual landscape of Jacques Rancière help us to circumscribe the scene of the disagreement of gentrification, as the partition of sensible, the equality of intelligence and the dissensus.

  The virtues masks of propaganda

  This Conference intends to encourage the participation of researchers from different fields (linguistics, philology, discourse analysis, cultural studies, social work, sociology, philosophy, psychology,  education, politics, etc.)  - coming from Eastern and Western Europe, Québec or other regions of the world  - to reflect upon the value of information in our globalized society. We are proposing to take benchmarks  as the mask of virtue and propaganda, its context and method. Our intention is to recognize and observe them, to  ask questions and analyze them critically in order to develop together criteria for better understanding  them and developing a literacy to orient ourselves.

  The art press today, towards a reconfiguration of a media genre ?

  La presse culturelle actuelle recouvre des formats extrêmement divers : elle peut être une revue de critique d’art ou d’histoire de l’art, une revue généraliste ou plus pointue, un guide culturel ou un magazine qui traite de l’actualité par le prisme de l’art ou encore une revue consacrée à un art en particulier. Tout ceci sans compter l’incroyable variété de la presse culturelle en ligne, rassemblant des blogs amateurs, des podcasts mais aussi des revues numériques. Ce colloque international a pour ambition d’embrasser cette diversité et entend mettre en évidence la manière dont les médias – traditionnels et en ligne – portent un regard sur les arts plastiques, les arts vivants, l’architecture, le design graphique, le cinéma, la littérature, la musique ou encore le patrimoine.

  Crises et prises de la parole

  Revue « Mutations en Méditerranée »

  For this first issue, we propose to take the different disciplinary languages of our editorial board as a starting point and to consider speech as an object of study. We propose to consider “speech” in a broad manner, thus understanding it as designating any thought expressed, and paying particular attention to who the speakers are, which mediums they employ and what their motives may be. Firstly, we consider speaking out in times of crisis, in the hopes of being heard. But does all speech have the same influence or impact? Which words are heard and heeded? We submit various lines of thought ranging from the Arab uprisings, whose tenth anniversary we are celebrating, to the place speech occupies in social movements. Our contemplation of this topic ranges from the hierarchy of languages to the hierarchies of discourse, to the role of scientific discussion in society and within the restitution of an interviewees or respondents spoken word within the framework of research investigation in the humanities.

  Perspective : actualité en histoire de l’art, n° 2023-2

  The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2022 – 2 issue, the history and historiography of Fashion(s). Two complementary definitions of fashion emerge and these underlie the two approaches that this issue of Perspective seeks to develop: the first aims to determine formal changes in dress and variations in the laws of appearances, while the second conceives of a single, cyclical renewal of taste that inspires customs and thus goes far beyond items of clothing and their accessories.

  Sources. Materials and fieldwork in African Studies

  Permanent call for special issues

  Sources grew out of the observation that academic journals tend to encourage theoretical and epistemological advances at the expense of the field materials under analysis. This journal’s mission is twofold: first, to resituate at the core of the articles the materials upon which researchers produce their reflections, while providing direct access to these materials; and second, to present analyses focusing on the contexts surrounding the production of these materials and their uses. This return to sources deriving from field work takes place in conjunction with topical thematics in African and Africana studies in the social sciences and humanities and promotes interdisciplinary dialogue. Sources is thus adopting a particularly unusual mission, one not currently existing in the academic field on Africa: to make available texts, images, sounds, interviews, field notes, and documents in the broadest sense, which become data that form the basis for researchers’ theoretical developments, and which thus constitute field research archives.

  Maritime spaces, temporalities and global changes

  Fourth congress of Scientific interest Group of History and Sciences of the Sea

  Born in the 1970s, the concept of global change refers to the study of short-, medium- and long-term interactions between the climate, the biosphere, the ocean, the land surface and, of course, human activities. As a systemic conceptual framework, global change invites us to consider the Earth as a whole, so that it allows for the study of all scales, authorizes the study of sub-systems and does not consider human activities as a forcing external to the system but as an agent in its own right. Within the framework of its 4th congress, the SIG-CNRS of History & Sciences of the Sea proposes to study the concept of global change applied to the different scales of maritime spaces as well as to short, medium and long term interaction.

  Persistence of Travelling Cinema Throughout the Twentieth Century

  This workshop will explore travelling cinema practises on a global scale in their historical, material and cultural diversity and will look at the ways in which they interfere with the communal identities of audiences. How communities – understood as porous, linguistic, ethnic, religious groups, crossed by various social and cultural dynamics – structured travelling cinema audiences and, conversely, how travelling cinema screening venues created, reinforced or perturbed community identities? The time span adopted goes from the 1920s to the end of the 20^th century, up to the moment when television got rooted in the daily spectatorial practices and the VCR player developed (a point in time that differs according to local media histories).

  The Roving Comic Book: Exchanges, Transfers, Circulation

  « Mémoires du livre / “Studies in Book Culture” » - volume 14, Number 1, Fall 2022

  After their emergence in the nineteenth century, comic books quickly became an important vehicle for transnational exchanges. This issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture proposes a multi-disciplinary study of the cross-cultural transfer and circulation of comics. The notion of “transfer” is understood here in a broad sense, as a process in which objects, ideas and practices are transferred across two or several cultures.

  Learning Spaces: an urban and territorial issue

  Les Cahiers de la recherche architecturale urbaine et paysagères

  This thematic dossier of Cahiers de la recherche architecturale urbaine et paysagères aims to collect contributions that make it possible to identify and better understand the places, policies and actors involved in production and transformation processes as well as in the uses of learning spaces. The projects and programs centered on learning spaces may address three areas for consideration, regarded in an integrated or separate way depending on the case. Proposed contributions may thus be positioned in relation to one or more of these elements.
