  From May 25th to 27th, 2026, BeloHorizonte/MG - Brazil will once more be the site of the International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT-SAD). It has as its theme for this edition: “Artifices &Artefacts”. It emerges from techniques and poetics, from software and code, from manual and automated actions, but also from cultural and artistic objects—whether physical or not—born from production in the intersection of art, science, and technology. The theme of this edition reveals crossings between the analog and the digital without establishing hierarchies.

  Industrialisation et (dé)professionnalisation de la communication à l’ère des outils d’intelligence artificielle

  The communication professions are currently undergoing profound transformations, driven by a combination of technological shifts, organizational imperatives towards agility, and a gradual shift toward algorithmic industrialisation, as well as deep societal questions. The advent of generative, predictive, and decision-making artificial intelligences is redefining the division of communicative labor, competency frameworks, professional identities, and the governance of know-how in this sector. Where professionals once excelled in writing, synthesis, creativity, and strategic thinking, what skills can they still assert compared to the features and performance of generative, analytical or predictive artificial intelligences? This issue aims to empirically investigate the effects of these processes on communication professions.

  When Emotion is Expressed

  Emotion is a natural phenomenon that is as much biological as it is psychological, linguistic and cultural, influencing individuals in the way they act, perceive and communicate. As a result, emotions are now considered to be the organising principle of thought and human relationships, a mode of semiotisation that is essential to understanding the dynamics of language, cognition and creation as productive mechanisms. This conference proposes to approach emotions at the discursive level, in terms of aesthetic performance, and through the prism of pedagogical practices.

  The rhythm at the crossroads of music, text and dance

  Instituant un partenariat régulier entre la France et le Bénin en matière de musicologie, ce colloque se déroule en 2026 pendant deux jours au Bénin autour de la question du rythme en privilégiant une approche transdisciplinaire. Il s’agit d’étudier dans un premier temps la relation intrinsèque du rythme dans les champs musicaux, artistiques, choréologiques, rituéliques, puis de comprendre son fonctionnement extrinsèque avec l’environnement naturel, les rythmes biologiques, physiologiques, sociologiques et cosmiques en interrogeant la question des épistémicides.

  Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in a World in Crisis: What Response from Constitutional Law?

  Do crises and the risks they generate—particularly for peace, security, and democracy—have a transformative effect on constitutional law? Or at the very least, do they provoke tensions, breakthroughs, or innovative developments that could enhance the role of ESCR in judicial litigation? This workshop seeks to cross perspectives to examine whether and how the crises we face act as variables influencing the effectiveness of ESCR in constitutional law.

  Morice Awwad: Poetry, Language, and Lebanese Culture

  Morice Awwad Chair invites scholars and researchers to explore the work of Morice Awwad (1934–2018), a major figure in contemporary Lebanese poetry.  Awwad forged a distinctly Lebanese aesthetic by articulating cultural heritage with the challenges of modernity—marked by fragmentation, war, exile, and linguistic tension. By asserting the singularity of “Lebanese” as a language of poetic creation, he developed a mode of being and expression situated between strong local belonging and openness to the universal.

  Books and manuscripts in exile since the 19th century

  Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, books and manuscripts found themselves in forced exile in Europe. Requisitioned during military occupations, such as the books looted by the Nazis during the Second World War, they were also pillaged in the context of colonisation. These cultural objects also went into exile, accompanying exiles fleeing authoritarian, totalitarian regimes or war zones. In this conference, we would like to study the historical phenomenon of books and manuscripts in exile, both from a historiographical perspective and in terms of their heritage value.

  Empathy and justice in the Mediterranean: when emotions become the norm

  Mutations en Méditerranée research journal, issue no. 4

  This call for papers invites contributions that examine empathy as an emotion constituting the sense of justice, and that analyze how it shapes, nourishes or challenges legal and social norms. Justice, understood as a system for regulating conflicts and distributing rights, requires a degree of empathic projection : understanding the situation of others, perceiving their harm, imagining their point of view. This interconnection runs throughout history, from the earliest legislative texts to contemporary debates.

  Diplomacies, Diplomats, and Sports, 19th–21st Century

  Unlike the often-speculative analyses of many experts, this conference aims to examine the relationship between diplomats, diplomacies, and sport by analyzing sources (archives, interviews, etc.), with a focus on its forms, practices, and the actors who shape them. The theme of sport and international relations has remained a largely overlooked area in scholarly research within history, international relations, and organizational sociology.

  Gendered work and working gender

  Identifiée comme un angle mort par Benoît Dedieu lors du deuxième symposium international du travail en agriculture, la place des femmes n’est plus à négliger dans l’analyse du travail au sein des mondes agricoles. Bien que la première étape indispensable soit de lutter contre l’invisibilisation des femmes, ce working group propose de mobiliser le concept de genre pour dépasser l’approche centrée sur la seule « spécificité du travail des femmes ».

  Social Production of Death and Necropolitics in Turkey: Framing, Regulating, Invisibilizing

  This volume examines the ways in which death is framed, regulated, and politicized in Turkey, and questions the relevance of the concept of necropolitics in the Turkish context. Across multiple scales of analysis, it explores the role of the state in ritual practices, the management of bodies, and the organization of funerary spaces—whether concerning individual or collective deaths—as well as in the production of hierarchies between deaths deemed worthy of mourning and those relegated to invisibility, while shedding light on the emergence of a new regime of death: civil death.

  Playing with uncertainty, gambling with crises

  The rise of Gambling, mechanisms and consequences

  This session aims to analyse the rise of gambling in Africa as a major social, economic, and territorial phenomenon. It will examine the reconfiguration of gambling spaces linked to digitalisation, as well as the role of betting in a context shaped by precarity and uncertainty as experienced by urban youth. Through several papers and a roundtable discussion devoted to the Senegalese case, the session will highlight the global circulations and North–South asymmetries that structure this rapidly expanding industry.

  Policing the Mobility of 'Undesirables' (1870-1923)

  Powder, People, Papers

  This study day aims to facilitate conversations across borders. Specifically, we hope to bring together various fields – Border Studies, Refugee Studies, Mobility and Surveillance Studies – in order to investigate border control processes and experiences during the period (1870–1923) and to facilitate meaningful conversations with those studying the present. Taking onboard the statement by French anthropologist Michel Agier in La Condition cosmopolite that ‘seen from the border, the world also looks different’, organisers would like to advance an encompassing view of border experiences.

  Before the Last Straw

  Omens, Thresholds, and Signs of Crisis in the Historiographical Construction of the Event

  In a historical moment marked by political upheavals, social crises, environmental catastrophes, wars, and new forms of collective mobilization, reflecting on the conscious choices — and the conscious non-choices — that precede moments of historical rupture becomes a useful and necessary tool for understanding the deep connection between decision and transformation.The 2026 Student Conference seeks to shift the focus away from the final event to investigate the acts that immediately precede it and to ask whether it is possible to explore, with historical awareness, the suspended moment before rupture : the moment before the last straw.

  Speech and Politics

  The relationship between speech and politics is experiencing renewed interest today. Since Foucault, political theory has examined the scope of “speaking truth” as a form of resistance, most recently illustrated by the unleashing of speech in the #MeToo movement. In the age of social media, speech proves deeply ambivalent : it can wound just as much as it can help build a shared world. Theories of recognition remind us that democracy requires all voices to be heard, a condition still far from being fulfilled.
