  Conference, symposium - Religion

  Islam et altérité

  True acceptance of otherness in a globalized and pluralistic world allows us to measure the capacity of religious, philosophical or political thought to fit in and assume the contemporary societal dynamics inherent to globalization (Taylor). This acceptance is not devoid of resistance that stem from the rise of entrenched identity expressions founded in particularly on a vision of equality that is based on the “similar” which assumes a historical-ethnic or religious identity. (Pierre Rosanvallon, La Société des égaux, Paris, Seuil, 2011.). The congress “Islam and Otherness” proposes to reflect on how Islam fits into this societal movement beyond identity resistance.

  From Companies to Museums

  Revue « Culture et Musées »

  Les musées et les entreprises entretiennent des liens étroits, un phénomène ancien qui a connu un développement important ces dernières années lorsque certains secteurs – luxe, industrie, alimentaire – ont voulu valoriser leur patrimoine et leur savoir-faire en ouvrant des musées. Pour de nombreux secteurs, le musée d’entreprise est une vitrine du savoir-faire et un lieu de créativité, un phénomène avéré qui montrent que les relations entre les musées et les entreprises ne reposent pas seulement sur la conservation de productions au moment où elles ne sont plus fabriquées. Cet appel à contributions a l’ambition de comprendre les enjeux culturels, patrimoniaux et économiques qui se jouent dans cette rencontre entre le monde de l’entreprise et celui du musée.

  Artistic and Literary Perspectives on Peripheries

  Strategies of Subversion and Emancipation of Peripheries and Margins in Opposition to Centers

  This conference aims to revisit the epistemological debates on the notional couple center / periphery by questioning the capacities of action of literary and artistic peripheries and margins. A particular interest will be shown towards the strategies of autonomization and subversion employed by peripheries in order to reverse the circulation of cultural objects and the representations produced both by the centers and themselves. A sociological approach to arts and literature will be encouraged in this conference, yet without abandoning the aesthetic and formal stakes of the works.

  Class, Race and Place in the US South

  American Politics through the Lens of Michael Goldfield’s Work

  Recent events in the United States remind us to what extent the South is both a place of distinctive identities and a space sharing a common heritage. According to the political scientist Michael Goldfield, “The South is a distinctive, atypical part of the United States; it is also, however, America writ large”" (Goldfield, 2020). These specificities are inscribed in social, cultural, political and, according to the author, above all economic structures, in a configuration that makes any definition of the “South” problematic. For this conference, we propose three different angles of approach: the interaction between race, class and capital; the spatial dimension of these interactions; the causes for and the perpetuation of racism in the United States.

  Analysis of relics, hagiographic legends and Carolingian memories

  Around the body of the Apostle James the Greater in Toulouse

  Since the 14th century, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse has been proud to possess the entire body of James the Greater. After a first preparatory seminar on 11 March 2019 in Toulouse (Vraies et fausses reliques: un vrai faux problème), a workshop was held on 10 December 2021 (Les reliques toulousaines de Jacques le Majeur), focusing on the material aspects (examination of bones, reliquaries, and authentic items). In a final stage, the results of these analyses should be put into perspective during a meeting which would lead to the writing of a monograph bringing together all the studies carried out on the relics of Saint James in Toulouse.

  Polls as a means of political legitimation

  Today, the importance of opinion polls must be discussed in the context of an increasing “doxophrenia”, i.e., the obsessive need to quantify opinions, and an increasing mistrust (of citizens as well as political actors) towards opinion polls. The focus of this conference is thus on questions of legitimacy and legitimation as well as opinion polls as an instrument of political communication: polling expertise considered both as a method of forecasting and political framing.

  Queering Blackness

  Non-Binary Black Representations in Post-Obama Popular Cultures

  The election of Barack Obama to the American presidency has ushered in a so-called “post-racial” era. This phenomenon is spreading to all popular media, from television and its hit series to comics and video games. It is from this observation of representations of black identities, which question any form of binarity and operate intersectional deployments within African American popular cultures, that the main question at the origin of this project emerges. Based on papers about these representations in the popular arts, accessible to a large majority as well as within the Black American community, this one-day conference aims to examine the evolution of these representations over the past ten years and the obvious efforts to move away from the binary normative representations still attributed to U.S. racial minorities—more so than to the so-called dominant white majority.

  What is Central Europe and what is Eastern Europe ?

  The name of the region in the academic discourse in Poland and France

  A wide variety of terms is used today to describe the region that lies between the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Seas, such as Central Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Central-Eastern Europe, East Central Europe and Europe médiane. However, the absence of a clear definition of the region continues to challenge researchers.

  Decentering the analysis of Africa-China relations

  Revue internationale des études du développement n°251 (2023-1)

  The question put forward by the vast majority of works studying the relations between Africa and China is “What is China doing in Africa? What are the Chinese doing in Africa?”, thus often overlooking the anthropological dimension of social, economic, and political change in which African actors can reclaim their place, in other words an approach that would decenter China and the Chinese in order to shed light on the microfoundations of the macroprocesses of development by examining Africa and Africans. Agency – or agentivité as it is now commonly called in French – is defined here as the ability to effect or introduce socio-economic and political changes in the arena in which the actors are involved. By addressing the question of African agentive practices and norms in Afro-Chinese relations, this call for papers therefore leads to decentering China to focus on Africa.

  Hybridation des formations : de la continuité à l’innovation pédagogique ?

  If the question of the hybridization of training finds a particular echo today, it is however not recent and does not date from the current crisis linked to the covid-19 pandemic. As soon as telecommunications became popular, educational programs were offered on radio and television - generally under the expression of distance learning - thus making it possible to combine presence and absence in specific educational systems. Ticemed 13 aims to draw up an inventory of the relationship between education and digital technology in a post-covid context. However, and as far as possible, it is hoped that communication proposals link recent events to past initiatives in order to (re)put them into perspective.

  AntiAtlas of Epistemicide is a collaborative artistic and scientific project that brings together notices and synthetic articles on epistemicides, past or present, anywhere on the planet. The articles collected in this book will be accompanied by a map designed specifically for each example of an epistemicide. The question being as singular as it is unfathomable, this project does not have an encyclopedic aim, but to the contrary, to establish a non-exhaustive and subjective atlas, assumed to be both a scientific work and an artistic catalogue. As all disciplinary fields are concerned by this question, antiAtlas of Epistemicide is opening its call for contributions to a authors of all disciplinary affiliations.

  Return to animality: theoretical perspectives, cultural approaches and artistic manifestations

  In the context of ontological uncertainty, but also of the tragic collapse of biodiversity and the environment, in which preoccupations for the future of man and his relationship with other species increase, how shall one preserve a definition of human being? It is thus pressing to reflect on the future of humanity from new perspectives that might assume a return to a certain animality or even to a reanimalization of man. The aim of this colloquium is to create a plural and interdisciplinary space for reflection on these issues, calling for a dialogue between different perspectives and disciplines.
