Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors and Experiences
The international conference “Materiality and Confinements in the Medieval and Early Modern Eras: Objects, Actors, Experiences” examines confinements through the lens of their materiality. Drawing on a recent historiographical broadening of the field, the conference aims to address various forms of medieval and early modern confinement, both judicial and non-judicial: prisons, galleys, hospitals, workhouses, cloisters, monasteries, and the like. Contributions are encouraged that reflect on how material history and its sources could contribute to a better understanding of different institutions of confinement and their actors (confined individuals, monks, jailers, doctors, suppliers…), practices, and infrastructures.

Frank Lloyd Wright's legacy in France: transmissions, appropriations, hybridizations
By focusing on the legacy of American architect Frank Lloyd Wright in France, this conference is intended our knowledge of a still unknown part of French architectural production of the second half of the second half of the twentieth century, a prolific period for architecture, but of which certain aspects remain to be explored and questioned, particularly approaches and proposals outside the mainstream.

The issues to be addressed during these study days are intended to complement and, above all, rediscover a still little-known aspect of the reception of the arts of the Middle Ages (5th-15thc.) and the Renaissance (15th-16 thc.) during the long 19th century. The timeframe chosen for this exploration will begin in the 1820s and 1830s, when the “neo” medieval and Renaissance movements emerged, and will end at the dawn of the First World War. While architecture and painting have been examined in the light of neo-medieval and neo-Renaissance trends, sculpture, the decorative arts in the broadest sense and the graphic arts have received less attention.

Asian Languages in the History of Lexicography
Ce colloque s’intéressera à l’histoire de la lexicographie et, plus particulièrement, aux dictionnaires consacrés aux langues asiatiques. Dans ce cadre, les dictionnaires monolingues, bilingues et multilingues impliquant des langues asiatiques et européennes pourront être étudiés. Cependant, les contributions sur l’histoire de la lexicographie et de la linguistique d’autres régions du monde sont également les bienvenues, de même que celles sur les éditions critiques de manuscrits de nature linguistique et sur l'apport des humanités numériques à ces études.

On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals: Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives
This conference explores the identification of individuals in Prehistory—a topic that inspired several foundational studies in the late 1970s and 1980s. Nearly 50 years later, where do we stand? From the Palaeolithic to the Metal Ages, how can we attempt to identify individuals through the full range of available archaeological remains and materials? What methods can we employ to achieve this? What are the conditions of their use, their levels of resolution, and more broadly, their advantages and limitations? By applying these methods, what insights can we hope to gain into the social and economic organisation of past societies? Finally, how can we envision the future of this ambitious, yet undeniably complex, field of research?

Disability issues in French and European Overseas Territories
The situation of people with disabilities is specific in French or European overseas areas (the Azores, Aruba, Bermuda...). Several phenomena characterize them (marginality on several scales, insularity possibly, particular legislation, economic situation). Moreover, each territory has specificities of the same order. And it can itself show strong internal variations (French Polynesia, Guyana, Bermuda) depending on the distance from the local center, isolation or different forms of marginality (which do not include only isolation or remoteness, but a social margin). In these conditions, people live situations very different from those of the metropolitan areas, with care, views on otherness, solidarities... sometimes far removed from the metropolitan realities. However, on this subject, knowledge is often lacking.

The Neglected Times of Architecture
By bringing together diverse disciplinary perspectives, this conference seeks to unfold the multiple temporal dimensions of architecture and the built environment, to foreground the actions, resources, and actors implicated in these processes, and to explore research methodologies capable of apprehending such dynamics. The event will also feature a dedicated space for the exhibition of audio/visual materials stemming from research engaging with these themes. Submissions may therefore take the form of traditional oral presentations, as well as shorter presentations centred on one or more audio/visual pieces—such as photographs, films, drawings, maps...

California as the Epicenter of Social Sciences
California occupies a central position in American studies and has inspired countless papers and books from its admission to statehood up to the present. This international symposium aims to gather and unify the various strands of social science research—including American studies, sociology, social anthropology, history, political science, and geography—whose methodologies (archival work, oral history, ethnography, participant observation, semi-structured interviews, etc.) allow for an intersectional examination of territorial, social, and racial inequalities and policies in California. It will offer a forum for field insights into the challenges and difficulties faced by France-based scholars in applying these methodologies to distant research fields.

10th Academic days on Open Government & Digital Issues
One of the goals of the open government process is to promote greater transparency and encourage citizen participation and collaboration in government decision-making, but also to promote government accountability. In this perspective, it is important to emphasize the role of citizens, civil society and stakeholders in decision-making to improve government policies. Since the 2nd edition, the Academic days expressly refer to “digital issues” in the title of the international conference, as digitalization is a major issue for open governments in the information society. Thus, speakers can deliver speeches focused on open government issues, on digital issues or concerning both open government and digital issues.

Behind the Scenes of Journals in African Studies
Cahiers d’Études africaines
This special issue of Cahiers d’Études africaines seeks to examine academic writing and publishing within the scientific editorial system of African studies, both today and in the past. Reflexive and critical, but without being strictly introspective, since it is not solely concerned with the case of Cahiers, this special issue encourages future contributors to take scientific publishing in African studies as a subject and a field of investigation, focusing on three entry points: texts, individuals, and journals. Its ambition is to investigate the “engine room” of the African studies publishing by examining its operating mechanisms and the challenges they reflect or activate.
