    The painting of Eugène Delacroix: materials, practices and restorations

    Technè, n°62, 2026-2

    Recent publications and exhibitions have all contributed to deepening our understanding of Eugène Delacroix’s practices. At the same time, the last decade has witnessed numerous restorations of his large-scale canvases and decors kept in museums, churches, and national institutions. These interventions, highlighting a solid coordination between the different actors involved in the preservation of Delacroix heritage, have produced a multitude of observations and much material knowledge. Number 62 of Technè will offer the opportunity to take into consideration the new information gathered from this activity, to identify research prospects and cross-reference these discoveries with the artist's immense written legacy (journal, correspondence, articles) as well as with other publications dealing with the history of collectors, and the art and restoration market in Paris in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

    Influence and Propaganda

    New Historiographical Perspectives

    Post-truth, fake news, infodemic, virality, soft power, hybrid warfare, political technology, influencer... New expressions intermingle with old ones – suggestion, propaganda, disinformation, manipulation, censorship – to describe the alarming evolution of various manipulative practices. These new terms and warnings often obscure the continuity of older practices and their shared origins. By adopting an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, this conference brings together researchers studying practices of influence across different times and places, with a shared commitment to historicising these phenomena.

    Franco-Indigenous Cultural Crossings (16th–18th Centuries)

    L’histoire des rapports franco-autochtones entre 1534 et 1763 est marquée par une dynamique complexe d’échanges culturels, de transferts de savoirs et de reconfigurations identitaires. Sous le Régime Français, les pratiques d’imitation, d’adaptation et d’appropriation ont joué un rôle central dans les interactions entre Autochtones et Européens, mais aussi dans les relations intra-européennes et entre les différentes communautés des Premières Nations. Ces métissages peuvent être envisagés comme des stratégies de survie ou d’intégration. Ils se manifestent dans les domaines linguistique, religieux, artistique, juridique et politique, ainsi que dans diverses pratiques quotidiennes.

    The Changing Concept of Border in Humanities

    Between Fixity and Flux

    This conference aims to examine not only the representations of borders but also the acts of their transgression, erasure, or redrawing. The goal is to explore how these borders are inscribed in the body of works, narratives, and languages, and how they shape their reception, transmission, and interpretation.

    Present in the City

    Urban temporalities and rythms in Northwestern Europe (14th-17th centuries)

    This conference will allow us to grasp the measure of time in medieval and premodern urban societies, as well as the perception of its passage. The aim of the colloquium is to observe city dwellers caught in the interplay of multiple temporalities that shape their sense of belonging or exclusion from various social groups, such as merchant and artistic circles, as well as family and intimate networks. Crisis and the sense of acceleration that can arise from a situation of unrest or a sudden event are other factors that influence individuals’ perception of time. In short, the question will be how the inhabitants of cities (as well as those who pass through them) inhabit the present moment, a question that allows us to reconsider the notion of “presentism” developed by François Hartog, originally conceived for the contemporary period.

    1995: a “Black Box” for Reflections on Contemporary Japan

    Revue « Ebisu. Études japonaises », numéro 64

    The year 1995 is often regarded as a turning point in the history of contemporary Japan. The country suffered two traumatic shocks in rapid succession: the Kobe earthquake in January and the Tokyo subway sarin attacks carried out by the Aum Shinrikyō cult in March. It was also struck by an economic crisis following the collapse of the speculative bubble in the early 1990. Thirty years later, this issue brings together transdisciplinary perspectives—from case and comparative studies to longue durée analysis—to present a renewed understanding of 1995, reassess its importance and singularity, and confirm or challenge previous work.

    Temporary Migration (20th –21st Centuries): Spaces, Regulation, and Imaginaries

    Recent migration research has recently adopted intersectional approaches by disputing age  categories, Gender, and class, which have long been pivotal  to the study of migrant populations. Despite being the focus of sustained scholarly inquiry, these domains continue to exhibit notable  limitations particularly in areas where migrants navigate conditions of “illegality” and where state authorities frequently respond with various forms of repression, including violence, detention,  stop-and-search practices, and police surveillance. This symposium will thus serve as a platform  for scholars and practitioners to exchange methodological insights into short-range mobility and  to explore innovative approaches to researching migration contexts. Furthermore, it will provide a  critical space to examine how funding agencies shape, influence, and/or potentially limit migration  research agendas.

    Literature and Law

    Ce colloque international interroge les rapports complexes entre littérature et droit, deux disciplines à la fois rivales et complémentaires qui partagent un même terrain : l’humain et ses multiples expériences. Il s’agira de réfléchir aux liens, tensions et convergences entre ces deux univers, qu’il s’agisse de la fonction critique de la littérature face au droit, de leur commune dépendance au langage, ou encore des représentations juridiques dans les œuvres littéraires. À l’ère du numérique et de l’intelligence artificielle, le dialogue entre droit et littérature se renouvelle, ouvrant de nouvelles pistes de réflexion sur la justice, la normativité et la créativité. Ce colloque se veut un espace interdisciplinaire réunissant juristes, littéraires, philosophes, sociologues et chercheurs intéressés par ces enjeux.

    Time and spce(s)

    Revue « Études en didactique des langues »

    Traditionally, language learning took place in a strictly defined space and time: the classroom, with its boundary walls and unchanging timetables, set in advance by the institution. Since the end of the 20th century, learning conditions have undergone major changes have led to adiversification of learning spaces, including language centers and homes, and to hybrid andmore flexible forms of learning. Learning time has also become fragmented, often altering the temporal regularity of yesteryear. What are the effects of these upheavals on learners and teachers alike?

    Experience and its dimensions in child language

    Revue « Faits de Langues »

    This special issue of Faits de Langues aims to explore the notion of experience in the study of child language. Its objective is to explore experience in practice (its role, its materiality, its processes, its evolution, etc.), the uses of language and language development. We thus seek to bring together research that, directly or indirectly, mobilizes and/or questions experience in different linguistic dimensions (role of interaction, genres of discourse, activities) and sociocultural dimensions (multilingualism, interculturality) and in a wide variety of situations and contexts (social, familial, institutional - educational, pedagogical, clinical -, children with typical and atypical development, etc.).

    Tax resistance in the Roman world

    L’impôt est aussi vieux que les sociétés et la résistance à l’impôt, aussi vieux que lui. Dans un empire comme celui de Rome, des centaines de peuples contribuent au financement de l’Etat ; des centaines de peuples riches de leur propre histoire, de leur propre culture, de leur propre manière de se représenter la fiscalité. Dans ce colloque, des spécialistes venus du monde entier examineront les causes, les temporalités, les modalités et les conséquences des diverses formes de refus de l’impôt romain, qu’il provienne des citoyens ou des provinciaux, dans un contexte économique, social, culturel, politique ou religieux. Les présentations permettront de questionner les rapports de consentement et de contrainte entre le pouvoir central et les divers sujets de Rome et de comprendre ce qui a permis l’exceptionnelle stabilité d’un empire si durable.

    Feeding urban territories in North Africa

    Crossed perspectives from Algeria and Egypt

    This collective volume explores urban food supply systems in North Africa, with a particular focus on Algeria and Egypt, where rapid processes of metropolization and megalopolization intensify pressures on food resources. Through a territorially grounded approach, the book aims to examine the challenges of food security in cities facing urban sprawl, loss of agricultural land, rising food demand, and increasing dependence on imports. The objective is to provide a cross-cutting analysis of territorial dynamics, supply chains, urban–rural reconfigurations, and the limitations of public policies in addressing urban food systems. Contributions are expected to adopt empirical, comparative, or modelling approaches, addressing themes such as urban planning, multi-level governance, food justice, short supply chains, and the regulation of informal economies, all within a broader perspective of strengthening the resilience of urban food systems.

    Terrains criminologiques africains

    The African continent remains "marginal" on the international stage of criminological research. Despite the development of academic programs, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Côte d’Ivoire, and the existence of specialized journals, African publications enjoy limited visibility. This lack of visibility can be explained by the standardization of international research, the weakness of research funding, linguistic boundaries, and the scarcity of exchanges between paradigmatic traditions. While anglophone research mostly adopts an etiological or institutional approach (prisons, violence, corruption), francophone work, influenced by interactionism, explores more diversified topics: green criminology, economic criminology, extreme violence, land conflicts, problematic practices of public agents... Numerous studies, although not identified as “criminological,” also contribute to the discipline due to the relevance of their theoretical frameworks. This issue therefore aims to make these African research contexts visible, to go beyond disciplinary boundaries, and to contribute to the conceptual and methodological renewal of a criminology in the making.

    Graphic and audio-visual representations of extreme violence intended for a young audience

    Since the 1980s, graphic productions (comics, graphic novels, albums) or audiovisual productions (animated films, documentary fiction, documentaries for children or adolescents, etc.) have experienced a certain renewed interest, thanks, among other things, to the combination of narrative and graphics, which allows readers to move from one level of reading to another, thus feeding two distinct but complementary levels of reading. We propose to look at all these productions (graphic and audio-visual) that are aimed at children and adolescents to tell them about the past and the violence that affected their parents or grandparents, or indirectly the history of their family or community, or, more broadly, their country.
