  Humanities and Social Sciences: Key Levers for Post-Covid Recovery

  Cette conférence porte sur le thème des sciences humaines et sociales (SHS) considérées comme les principaux leviers de relance post covid-19. Elle vise à réunir des universitaires et des praticiens afin d’échanger sur leurs apports aux défis engendrés par la crise de covid-19. L’objectif serait, donc, de réunir des universitaires, doctorants et praticiens (éducateurs, linguistes, psychologues, économistes, personnalités politiques, entrepreneurs, etc.) de différents pays dans le but d'échanger sur des questions théoriques et pratiques relatives aux apports des SHS aux enjeux liés à la crise du covid-19 afin de contribuer à la concrétisation d’un modèle de développement durable et inclusif.

  Animals as Worshippers of God First of All

  On Animal Piety in Islam

  In this symposium, we aim to consider the religious figure of the animal in Islam, neither as an object of worship (an idol) nor a means of worshipping (sacrificial offering), but rather as a fully-fledged subject, a worshipper of God and a model for all worshippers. What are the origin and theological posterity of verses like, “Do you not see that God is glorified by all those in the heavens and the earth, even birds in rows?” (24:41) What does believing in animal worship of God imply for the definition of religion itself?

  Vous avez dit « authentiques » ?

  On the 5th and 6th of May, 2022, the sixth edition of the Research Unit Transitions (Research Department on the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period)’s international Doctoral Days will be held at the University of Liège. Organised in partnership with the Centre d’études supérieures de civilisation médiévale (CESCM) of the University of Poitiers, these days will be structured around the theme of authenticity. The notion of authenticity is by its very nature polysemous and complex to define. The aim of these Doctoral Days is to examine authenticity in its various meanings and according to the various methodological approaches pertaining to different fields of research. The presentations will be oriented according to two distinct, but complementary axes: “The object to the test of time” and “Authenticity, a guarantee of truth?”

  Refondation de la recherche géographique et de l’enseignement de la géographie au Cameroun et en Afrique

  Revamping Geographic Research and Teaching in Cameroon and Africa

  Plus d’un demi-siècle après le début de l’odyssée de la géographie camerounaise, il nous a semblé nécessaire de faire une pause, d’établir un bilan et d’imaginer de nouveaux modes de penser, de faire de la recherche et de l’enseignement de la géographie au Cameroun et dans la sous-région Afrique centrale. Il est question de mieux s’impliquer dans le mouvement global au sein des sciences humaines et sociales et de la géographie en particulier : décloisonnement des spécialités, problématiques transversales, demande sociale et nécessité d’expertise.

  Education in Times of Crisis and Emergency

  The term crisis, as defined by Souriau (1990), designates any dangerous and decisive disturbance which calls into question the ordinary course of things. On the other hand, the notion of emergence, formally defined, constitutes the idea of the appearance of a nascent phenomenon. This concept implies a pluralistic ontology, that is, a plural and evolving universe, in which new forms of existence appear, but may also disappear. The objective of this conference is to reflect on the way in which countries have faced educational challenges in times of environmental, health, migratory, gender, social and/or political crises at different moments in history.

  Espaces sonores dans les films et les productions audiovisuelles

  Ce colloque international sur le son et l’espace au cinéma interrogera la manière dont les sons contribuent à l’expérience spatiale des films et des productions audiovisuelles, aux niveaux sensoriel, intellectuel, politique et culturel. De la prise de son jusqu’au mixage, en passant par le bruitage et le montage son, il encouragera à explorer toutes les étapes du travail sur le son d’un film durant lesquelles s’effectuent des choix créatifs qui ont des répercussions sur son espace.

  Telling and exhibiting minorities in France and North America

  Minorities and their museum mediations

  Nous proposons, dans ce colloque, de nous pencher sur les relations entre les minorités et les musées et sites patrimoniaux en Amérique du Nord et en France, en abandonnant le point de vue majoritaire, qui se décline en termes de domination et d’assignation, pour renverser le regard. En nous situant du point de vue de l’expérience minoritaire, nous pourrons envisager la minorité dans sa capacité à agir. Dans la relation des minorités aux musées, il est possible de distinguer deux mouvements qui, bien qu’autonomes, interagissent. Le premier, sans doute le plus documenté, par lequel les musées ont essayé de « décoloniser » les récits sur l’expérience minoritaire. Le second par lequel les groupes minorisés ont promu l’émergence de contre-récits indépendants, sous des formes diverses, leurs actions précédant souvent la réévaluation critique des politiques muséales.

  The Invention of Greek origins in the textual and visual cultures of pre-modern Europe (1100-1600)

  The ERC Advanced Grant AGRELITA Project studies the Reception of Ancient Greece in pre-modern French Literature and Illustrations of Manuscripts and Printed Books (1320-1550) : How invented memories shaped the identity of European communities. These workshops aim to explore the uses, functions and purposes of the discourses on Greek origins and the polysemy of this concept between 1100 and 1600, in European textual, visual and material cultures, hinging on the following questions : how the authors and artists considered the notion of origin(s)? What both unites and distinguishes it from heritage ? Why Greeks ? Which Greece(s) are thought of as origins ? Whose origins are these ? What modalities of representation and what processes of appropriation appear? For what purposes and for what audiences?

  En s’inscrivant dans la thématique de cet appel à communication sur les transitions socio-environnementales, et en poursuivant sur les traces du sillon creusé par les travaux fondateurs d’Elinor Ostrom, cette session intitulée « Expérimenter les communs dans les tiers-lieux, espaces de transition(s) : quelle(s) gouvernance(s) ? » interrogera la question des communs telle qu’elle est « travaillée » et mise en œuvre dans les tiers-lieux, espaces consacrés, entre autres, à des réflexions autour des transitions socio-environnementales, et notamment de la transition écologique.

  Chile 1970-1973 in a transnational key. From the “Chilean road to socialism” to the military dictatorship

  Este coloquio busca analizar con una perspectiva transnacional el ciclo clave de la historia de Chile que se extiende desde los primeros días de la Unidad Popular (UP) en hasta el desmantelamiento de la «vía chilena al socialismo» (1970-1973). Nos interrogaremos sobre el impacto y la influencia internacional que la posibilidad de construir el socialismo por vías institucionales ejerció en las diversas fuerzas de izquierda más allá de las fronteras del país. Veremos también cómo el ascenso de Allende activó redes transnacionales de derecha y demócrata-cristianas, organizando transnacionalmente la oposición a la UP. El influjo ideológico del Golpe de Estado de 1973 también será evaluado.

  Pedro da Silveira – the faces of a cultural polyhedron

  Commemoration conference on the centennial of Pedro Da Silveira's birth

  On the centennial year of Pedro da Silveira (born in September, 5, 1922), the University of the Azores joins the celebration activities organised by several institutions in Portugal and abroad with the commemoration conference entitled Pedro da Silveira – the faces of a cultural polyhedron, which aims at reflecting on the many facets of this writer. Born on Flores Island, in the Azores, Pedro da Silveira spent a great part of his life in mainland Portugal, but never broke the attachment to his home archipelago. His work encompasses a variety of interests, including literary writing and literary criticism, historical research, philological edition, translation and anthology. It is the purpose of the conference to highlight all these fields and to encourage further inquiry on his work, still insufficiently explored.

  Inclusive Public Participation

  Muséologies vol. 10 n° 2

  Museums have been pushing the limits of interactivity for several years. They draw their publics toward modalities of participation that grow ever richer, diversifying their intervention spaces, within or outside the walls, in person or virtually. This call for contributions falls within recent international debates over the current issues of participation and inclusion endorsed by ICOM. This special edition of Museologies thus seeks to unite the contributions, taking into account theoretical stances and innovative practices involved in updating and expanding this line of research.

  The power of words

  La journée d’étude aura pour thématique « Le pouvoir des mots ». Elle vise à interroger l’origine des mots, leur usage socialement situé et ce qu'ils charrient de représentations du monde social, les catégorisations qu’ils impliquent ; mais aussi les luttes d’imposition ou de contestation de certaines notions qui ont parfois lieu, entre des individus ou des groupes d’individus appartenant à différents champs et qui reconnaissent dans les mots un certain pouvoir. En trois axes, nous explorerons les mots du pouvoir et leur violence symbolique, puis les mots comme enjeux de lutte dans les mouvements sociaux, pour finir sur les enjeux méthodologiques dans l'analyse du discours.

  Architectural Design Competitions in Europe from the 15th to 21st centuries –an Overview

  While not entirely ignored, the question of architectural design competitions seems to have been largely underestimated by contemporary historiography, although these competitions have marked the history of western architecture since, basically, the famous competition of 1418 in view of the construction of the cupola of the Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral in Florence – this is only to mention the modern era.

  Rethinking Institutions and Deinstitutionalisation from a Disability Perspective

  2022 ALTER Conference

  On July 7 and 8, 2022, the Université Saint-Louis - Bruxelles  will host the ALTER 2022 Conference, on the theme of “Rethinking the Institution and Deinstitutionalisation from the Perspective of Disability”. This conference aims to unfold the notion of institution under all its aspects and in various contexts, from the perspective of different fields and from occasionally distinct positions depending on the country or the disability considered. It also aims to examine the history, the stakes, and the experiences of the various forms of deinstitutionalisation, to trace the possible contours of an inclusive society respectful of the choices of people with disabilities.

  Bubbles of Sciences: Field Stations in peripheral territories

  Congrès 4S, Society fo the Social Studies of Science

  Since the 1970s, the social sciences have analysed the production of science as a historically and geographically situated social practice. Thus far, empirical studies have mostly been carried out in industrialised countries with a focus on major metropoles. Very few analyses rely on case studies from non-industrialised countries or scientific “places” that are neither urban (laboratories, museums, hospitals, etc.) nor temporary field practices designed to collect data for those institutions (expeditions, field work, etc.). In contrast, this panel sheds light on permanent scientific places at the margins of colonial or post-colonial territories.

  The Figure of the Multilingual Child in Literature

  Call fot an edited volume

  This edited volume aims to extend the findings of the conference "The Figure of the Multilingual Child in Literature". This edited volume aims at analysing child narrators and/or figures evolving in and between several languages – either because they speak at least two languages, or because their family, school or country is made up of a web of languages.  These child figures can be autobiographical or autofictional shadows of the author. They can also be pure beings of paper. In all these cases, their identity is made of a fabric woven of all their languages, whether they are acquired simultaneously or successively, within the otherness of their monolingual fellow creatures.

  Rethinking Knowledge, Reshaping the University

  17th Annual and International Colloquium of the Society of Activities and Research on the Indian World

  University is one of the places (among others) of training, production and transmission of knowledge. If the goal of training is to participate in the process of social transformation, universities are one of the "unconditional" spaces (in the words of Derrida) to exchange with one's contemporaries. University remains a place where people mix, where people meet and where hospitality as a value still holds true to some extent. These attributes can also make it a place that can generate power struggles by holding up a mirror to society.This conference will address some issues regarding the future of higher studies in India, and in the Global South: How to continue to "produce" and share knowledge in the face of endless liberalization? What choices, what paths, what research projects can be on offer in the training programs at universities in the 21st century? How can we rethink knowledge and reshape the university? How can we reinvent the missions of academic transmission and research to meet the challenges of our time and anticipate those of the next generations?
