    Possession and its expressions: Corpus linguistics, specialised languages, translation, acquisition/learning

    The aim of this conference is to examine the notion of possession and its various forms (alienable/inalienable possession, part-whole relationships), with a focus on corpus linguistics. Given the advent of the theoretical framework of Construction Grammar (Goldberg 1995), and in the era of digital humanities, new statistical methods (calculations of sparsity, density of occurrences, productivity, visualisations with decision trees, etc.) have emerged. This enables multifactorial analyses to be proposed on the basis of large amounts of data.

    Misopédie. La domination adulte dans les discours contemporains

    Take part in France's very first transdisciplinary scientific event on misopedics (which is to children what misogyny is to women). The domination of children by adults has been extensively studied by researchers around the world. Especially as it is by far the most widespread form of domination in our societies. In France it is so widespread and pervasive that we are not even necessarily aware of it. It's high time French research got on board.

    Tele-Visions: Technologies of Ubiquity in the Visual Arts (19th-21st centuries)

    Seminar 2024-2025

    Tele-Visions is a research program created by IMAGO-Cultures Visuelles (HiCSA, University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). It brings together a body of recent work on the influence of emission, transmission and reception technologies in the visual arts and visual culture, from the 19th century to the present. Beyond the medium of television itself, the plural “tele-visions” refers to the variety of remote viewing and image transmission techniques which, from semaphores to wireless telegraphy and up to fiber optics and contemporary networks, have configured new models for the circulation and transmission of images. Dialoguing with the history of science and technology as well as with media archaeology, the contributors to the seminar will explore broad topics such as the joint evolution of perceptual regimes and remote transmission techniques, the modalities of “prosthetic vision,” the material effects of image transmission and the spatio-temporal issues inherent to network dynamics.

    Présences artistiques iraniennes : Création et résistance

    Revue interartistique « Couturière » - n° 1

    Ce numéro vise à offrir une analyse pluridisciplinaire des arts iraniens contemporains en adoptant une approche pluri-artistique (théâtre, cinéma, arts visuels, musique…). Nous nous attacherons à examiner les compromis que les artistes vivant en Iran doivent trouver pour témoigner et dénoncer la vérité politique sans être censurés, ainsi que les difficultés rencontrées en exil : le sentiment de déracinement, la recherche de leur place dans un nouveau contexte, et leur engagement à représenter les injustices étatiques en Iran. Comme le souligne Shirin Neshat, artiste en exil pour son travail artistique « l’art iranien est un art politique si ce n’est pas politique ce n’est pas un art iranien. »

  • Seminar - Epistemology and methodology

    Intercultural Transfers

    40 Years Anniversary of the Seminar

    The transnational research seminar consists of lectures by invited international scholars dedicated to the study of cultural transfers in very different regions. The central theme of the various sessions is the question of the vectors that explain and promote the various shifts in intellectual content in space and time, as well as the resemantizations that necessarily go hand in hand with these shifts. The topics dealt with are deliberately diverse in order to facilitate contacts between the disciplines and methodological discussions. A common theme is the history and epistemology of the human sciences with a focus on questions of spatialization in historiographical constructions.

    Improving the quality of working life

    “Laboreal”, July 2025 edition

    Over the last twenty years, there has been a proliferation of research and interventions whose purpose, in contrast to the strict profitability objective of ‘quality circles’, focuses on the quality of working life. They have often been designated by the acronym QWL. This designation authorizes a wide range of methodologies and actions and there have been proposals structured considering diagnoses and interventions that were based on the workers’ point of view and on what happens in reality at work situations. In these approaches, the tradition of activity ergonomics and work psychology once again demonstrate the wealth of methodological tools and intervention models. Laboreal invites researchers to present studies addressing this issue, in particular those that present detailed field experiences.

    Couleurs, matières, supports

    Numéro 8 de la revue « Polygraphes »

    Par son inscription sur un support, l’acte graphique devient écriture ou figure, prend corps et existe en tant que production matérielle. Il devient indissociable de cette surface bi-ou tridimensionnelle qui l’expose, le contraint, le prolonge, et l’accompagne dans la transmission d’un message. Le choix de la matière ainsi marquée, de ses formes et de ses volumes, de sa texture, participe à l’intention de l’acte graphique. Elle en détermine également la temporalité, la permanence ou la fugacité. La compréhension de l’acte graphique requiert ainsi que l’on interroge ses interactions avec le support et son environnement. Lorsque l’acte graphique implique un ajout de matière, son étude révèle des choix culturels, esthétiques, des savoirs-faires, des représentations collectives et symboliques qui lui sont attachées, des réseaux d’échanges parfois sur très longues distances. Cette matière enregistre souvent la trace du geste et de l’outil.

    Religious Architecture of the Early Middle Ages in the Frankish World and its Margins: Legacies and Transformations

    45th International Days of the French Association of Merovingian Archaeology

    En 2018, lors des 39e Journées internationales de l’Association Française d’Archéologie Mérovingienne consacrées à L’archéologie de la construction au haut Moyen Âge, plusieurs communications ont questionné nos connaissances sur la construction des lieux de culte durant le haut Moyen Âge. Les 45e Journées Internationales de l’Association Française d’Archéologie Mérovingienne aborderont donc la question de L’architecture religieuse de l’Antiquité tardive à la fin du XIe siècle en Europe. Elles ont pour objectif d’essayer d’élaborer un état des lieux sur ce thème et d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives de recherche sur l’architecture, l’organisation spatiale et fonctionnelle des édifices ecclésiaux du premier Moyen Âge.

    Writing and Screen

    Writing for, in and about film and audiovisual productions

    L’Afeccav propose de se pencher, à l’occasion de son 13e congrès, sur les liens multiples tissés entre l’écrit et les écrans, dans les processus de création mais aussi de réception ainsi que dans les œuvres, et en considérant tant les productions écrites proprement dites que les modalités d’écriture. Trois types de relations pourront être envisagés. Le premier se déploie lors de la phase de préparation et de réalisation des œuvres, regroupant le vaste ensemble des écrits scénaristiques. Un deuxième englobe les écrits qui accompagnent et commentent les productions audiovisuelles écrits critiques ou journalistiques, historiques, analytiques ou théoriques. Un troisième ensemble, enfin, couvre la présence de l’écrit à l’écran. Nous souhaiterions orienter les réflexions autour de quatre axes : le repérage d’auteurs et de corpus jusque-là peu étudiés, les dialogues qui s’établissent entre le mot et l’image, la question des circulations médiatiques et la présence de l’écrit sur l’écran.

    Brian De Palma: The Politics of Images

    In 2025, the US filmmaker Brian De Palma will turn 85. To celebrate this New Hollywood pioneer and his impressive body of work (30 feature-length fiction films, not counting ongoing projects, documentaries and shorts), this symposium will look at the director’s filmography primarily through political and aesthetic approaches, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on a much-studied body of work. It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

    Non-violence in fantasy

    In the realm of fantasy, violence often erupts in epic battles and the internal conflicts of protagonists, heightening the story’s intensity: threats, manipulations, oppressions, dark magic, rapes, fights, torture, and assassinations serve as catalysts to maintain narrative tension, show the complexity of characters, and explore the dark side of human nature. Yet, non-violence seems to meet this challenge with equal strength. Indeed, many heroes, guided by their compassion, wisdom, or moral integrity, choose non-violence to fight against injustice, inner turmoil, or evil. Proposals can explore non-violence in fantasy works from various angles (cinematographic, narratological, as well as cultural, sociological, etc.). They can study specific cases or offer global and/or comparative analyses.

    Political Speeches in Film

    In 1970, Michel Foucault highlighted the links between discourse and power in his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France : “I am supposing that in every society the production of discourse is at once controlled, selected, organized and redistributed according to a certain number of procedures, whose role is to avert its powers and its dangers […]”. This issue is also found in films. Even though Costa-Gavras has stated that “cinema is not a political discourse but a spectacle”, it seems that political discourse and movies are closely linked. This is demonstrated by the many films in which characters speak out in public to defend a cause, exploring the very nature of politics as the art of representation.

    Degrowth in Mountain Tourism: Future Challenges and Prospects of Tourism in Mountain Regions

    Global tourism has growth to a level that questions the current and future sustainability of the industry and its impacts for our environment. While the developmental aspects of tourism have been largely based on the scale of visitors flows, there is an increasing need to think the limits to growth in tourism and alternative development paradigms for future tourism. This kind of questioning of the impacts of growth, in general, is not new (First Report to the Club of Rome, 1972; First World Climate Conference [Geneva] 1979; Brundtland Report 1987), but there are new ways to reconceptualise alternative futures for development. In tourism, one of the recently emerged idea is based on a degrowth thinking in economic and social development discussion in the 2000s (Latouche, 2022; Bernard et al., 2003)

    Gender, Memory and Sources

    This conference will focus on the links that can be observed between gender and memory in textual and iconographic sources. This conference belongs to a cycle created by the  Structure Fédératrice de Recherche ALLHiS, and as such, will focus more specifically on the analysis of the sources used by researchers. This conference aims at questioning the ways in which memory and gender are represented, whether it be in written sources (manuscripts, literary or legal texts…), iconographic sources (photos, statues, paintings…) or immaterial sources (ethnographic data). The aim of such a study is to welcome works based on the study of as many different sources as possible, which will enable researchers to construct an interdisciplinary overview of these sources that aims at being diverse rather than exhaustive.
