Call for papers - Representation

Photography and models: histories of the nude

The sixth issue of the journal Photographica aims to explore the question of the nude model in photography. Following Wendy Grossman’s study of the model Adrienne Fidelin (published in Photographica no. 2 (April 2021) in a study that is both deconstructivist and analytical of the uses of the medium) and building on a reflection on the very genre of nude photography – both female and male – this new issue of Photographica (April 2023) seeks to question the role of the model in the history of photography: How can we consider and look at this historically massive part of photographic production today, and to what extent can it represent a subject of study? What does the object “nude photography” reveal with regard to processes of normalization, domination, and production in the history of photography? How does this photographic form influence its circulation and lead to new modes of distribution? What is a model in photography and how can the history of photography deal with this subject?

Scholarship, prize and job offer - History

Chercheuse ou chercheur post-doctorant-e dans le projet « AnthropoSouth »

Latin American Oil Revolutions in the Development Century project (Graduate Institute Geneva)

Postdoctoral position as part of the SNSF-funded “AnthropoSouth”: Latin American Oil Revolutions in the Development Century Eccellenza Project, under the leadership of Prof. Antoine Acker (Department of International History and Politics). The researcher will be affiliated to the Centre for International Environmental Studies (CIES) at IHEID. The major innovation of the project is to develop the first research team that will seek to build a place for Latin America as a continent in the Anthropocene narrative. By shedding light on chains of political intentionality that pursued alternatives to the Western capitalist energy model, this new geographic perspective will make a substantial contribution to pluralizing and denaturalizing the history of human-induced geological and climatic change.

Conference, symposium - Sociology

Realtà mediali

Sociologia, semiotica e arte negli immaginari e nelle rappresentazioni

This three-day international conference, organized in mixed mode at the University of Palermo and sponsored by the Dipartment "Cultures and Society" and the ADILLI, intends to adress the ways in which reality is represented and mediated today through digital technologies and creative approaches to the arts, both of those belonging to the more traditional classifications and of the more recent ones, and how the different narratives of today's contexts are “brought to the stage” by them. The interpretation of the theme, given its complexity and vastness, will be interdisciplinary and will have a dissemination approach, to allow for as broad a dialogue as possible between the partecipants and the public, in a spirit of research and sharing.

Call for papers - Religion

African Islam or Muslim Africa

The objective of the study-day, which is intended for Africanists and researchers in different disciplines, is to deconstruct the religious matrix in Africa and question extremist aberrations, in a bid to understand their underpinnings and attempt to propose solutions to them. The participants might want to address the following questions: what are the characteristics and the forms that the practice of faith in Africa takes? How has Islam adapted itself to the realities of cultural and ethnic diversity in Africa? Is there now a purely “African” Islam? How does Islam fare in societies that are politically secular?

Call for papers - Geography

Learning from territories / Teaching territories

In German (lehren / lernen) as in Arabic (تعليم / تعلم), a single letter distinguishes the concept of teaching from the concept of learning. Whether defined as a theoretical object of scientific knowledge that can be taught or as a body of practices that can be passed on, there is no escaping the need to address the issue of the relationship between the apparent universality of the concept of territory, on the one hand, and the variety of uses to which the term is put and the range of practices associated with it, on the other. The sixth CIST conference will focus on two questions: how to teach about territories (academic knowledge, empirical methods, disciplinary approaches, etc.) and how to learn from territories (observing, exploring, describing, experiencing, etc.).

AMAES – Études médiévales anglaises, numéro 100

On the occasion of its anniversary issue, Études médiévales anglaises invites papers on the measuring of time, as well as on the marginal treatment of time in ritualized celebrations which punctuate daily life, sometimes subverting its usual hierarchies, as in the case of carnival and misrule. Papers can consider material representations of time and its measure, as well as the subtle representation of past, present and future in medieval literature.

Conference reports - online journal "Quaderna"

La revue Quaderna souhaite reposer des questions au croisement des disciplines et des aires culturelles en faisant appel à des contributions d’universitaires et d’artistes, d’écrivains, de musiciens… Parce que penser au point de rencontre des langues et des disciplines est plus que jamais fondamental, cette revue espère ainsi à la fois réaffirmer la pluridisciplinarité qui fonde les études universitaires et contribuer au débat scientifique en créant un dialogue entre aires culturelles. Dans le cadre de sa rubrique « Comptes rendus de colloques », il s'agit de recevoir des contributions dont les signataires seraient prinipalement des doctorant·es et de jeunes chercheuses et chercheurs, mais pas uniquement. Les comptes rendus de colloques et autres événements scientifiques pourront par conséquent porter sur des sujets variés, touchant à la fois plusieurs aires géographico-culturelles ainsi que des disciplines inhérentes aux sciences humaines avec une approche transdisciplinaire.

Intimacies under Tension from, and In, the Arab-Muslim Worlds

Since the advent of the affective turn, when the humanities and social sciences began to pay increased attention to the objectification of emotions, studies on the “intimate” have increased exponentially. As an analytical category, intimacy allows to question dominant and normative visions of the private and the public spheres, and to understand how they are reproduced, challenged, and/or transgressed. Intimacy can therefore be considered as a political process. By encouraging the exploration of new methods of field research, this issue of L’Année du Maghreb is also opening up to “alternative” forms of ethnographic restitution.

Speaking and Writing

Complementarity, Competition and Hybridization of the Spoken and the Written Word (16th and 17th century Europe)

The workshop will explore the complex relations between the spoken and the written word in 16th and 17th century Europe. Both modes of expression have been studied in a new light during the last years. But research on the interactions between the spoken and the written word is still at the beginning. It is a promising domain, linked to important questions about Early Modern history and its sources. How did the transitions between orality and writing (in both ways) work out in different situations? When the two modes were in competition, how were choices made and justified? When and where did the spoken word duplicate, complete, moderate, contradict or undermine the written word? When there was complementarity between the modes of expression, what mutual influences can be observed, mainly (but not only) from a formal point of view?

Ritual in the Middle Ages

The term “ritual” covers a wide field of medieval activities referring to repeated and often formal behaviour that combine cognitive processes with physical actions. Whether carried out in privacy or in public, medieval rituals invariably had a social function; they were performed for and in interaction with audiences, whose presence may have been tangible or superhuman. The performative aspect involved a shared experience of visible, audible and, in all, sensory practices that gave form to the rituals. The colloquium gathers together specialists from various fields to discuss the theory and practice of rituals in medieval culture.

Call for papers - Education

Training, educating, instructing in France, in the British Isles and in America in the 17th and 18th centuries

These 2022 post-graduate study days set out to explore the broad range of the pedagogical theories and educative practices that were developed throughout the 17^th and 18^th centuries in the British Isles and in America. The three suggested semantic lines – training, educating, instructing – should allow for a cross-referencing of approaches on how knowledge was passed on from one generation to the next, from a teacher to a pupil or from a parent to a child. Though distinguishable from one another, the three terms stem from a same basis which establishes the relation between the learner and the instructor, but also between the learner and the object of his or her apprenticeship.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity

The Aristotelian “Mirabilia”

This International Conference is entirely devoted to the Mirabilia, a collection attributed to Aristotle since Antiquity, which has probably be composed in the intellectual environment of the Peripatos. Our aim is to provide new insights into this little-known work, which is still historically the first example of what has been called Paradoxography. More precisely, the discussions will deal with the structure of the collection and its epistemology, with its relation to contemporary knowledge – from History to Literary Criticism –, and with its connection with the research led by Aristotle and his pupil Theophrastus.

Data & Environment: towards a sustainable future

During the three-day conference, we will choose four topics linked with the applications we will receive. Selected applications will help the Ph.D. students get to know each other and debate the sustainable development goals (SDG) and the environmental transition. Therefore, the different axes will make it possible to question the use of data and their information / processing structure, in relation to the ethical aspects of environmental standards, and more particularly satellite data within the framework of the 17 SDGs. They will be led by experts and doctoral students, as well as include artistic performances and awareness workshops.

Nouvelles histoires

This series of lectures aims at exploring how the grand narratives of architectural history are challenged by current concerns raised by colonial and postcolonial studies, gender studies, and the environmental humanities. From the Enlightenment to the present, the speakers will examine discourses which have impacted the very form of architecture, analysing the racial considerations that underlie the theory of styles, or investigating the role French and German colonizations in Africa played in the emergence of modern architecture.
