Current Situation and New Challenges

The functions of museums, as they have developed since their inception in the 18th century, are largely based on collections of material objects. The principle of accumulation, on which this logic is based, presupposes the creation of storage to house objects that are not on public display and the constitution of databases, whether tangible or intangible, to enable the development of knowledge. For a long time, museum functions have revolved around the information-bearing object, and the functional model of preservation, research and communication associated with the collection. Since the 1960s, the evolution of the museum world has led to a rethinking of the museum in terms of its socializing function, a "forum" at the service of society and its development. Today, for a large number of establishments, exhibition spaces or reception and entertainment areas are regarded as essential as the collections. This new concept of museum introduces the idea of storage as a space deeply connected with all museum activities and also allows for the rotation and renovation of collections on public display.

The precious object: a total social fact?

Social, political, religious, symbolic, commercial: the multiple functions, roles and representations of precious objects

Over the centuries and across the globe, precious objects – and jewelry in particular – have given rise to a wide range of sometimes contradictory reactions, testifying to their major role in human societies. Rejected through notions of waste and luxury, admired or desired for aesthetic, symbolic, religious or economic reasons, the precious object has many functions: offering, symbol (status, power, loyalty, etc.), social or family heirloom, element of exchange and even economic driving force. If the precious object establishes a cultural and social divide, it is also subjected to imitation or reproduction, making it a fashionable, “mass-market” object. But what properties determine the value of precious objects?

Pastoral Academies. A global Phenomenon?

At the intersection between literature and socio-cultural history, but also between methods, the comparative and the historical-philological approach, this conference offers an opportunity for the study traditions of several countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Poland, to come together around a relatively new research subject: the pastoral academy. Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, throughout Europe and even in Latin America, writers, poets and scholars, men and women, took on the names of shepherds in pastoral literary academies. While some of these academies are well known (the Accademia dell'Arcadia in Rome, the Pegnesische Blumenorden in Nuremberg), the phenomenon was on an unsuspected scale and deserves to be explored in its global dimension.

Art as Philosophy? The Reception of German Idealism and Early Romanticism by artists, from the 19th century to the present day

While the philosophical reception of German Idealism and Early Romanticism has been the subject of a number of studies, research so far has given little attention to the question of its knowledge and use by artists. The aim of the conference is to open up a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, informed by case studies, on the role that the discovery of Classical German Philosophy has played in European and American visual arts, from the early nineteenth century to the present day.

In Relation to Life

Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

Relationality as a concept and a framework has become an essential component of contemporary science, theory and politics. Its transversal importance has been evidenced through its qualification as a paradigm shift in the science, as a relational turn in philosophy and theory, and as a new end goal of politics. This conference aims at creating bridges between contemporary science, theory, and politics through focusing on the various ways they approach and integrate biological relationality, understood as the entanglement of living entities with each other at different scales (cellular, physiological, multispecies, ecosystemic, planetary, etc.) and with nonliving entities (pollutants, machines, matter itself, etc.).

Language & Power

5th young researchers Symposium ICODOC

If language can exercise power, power can reciprocally manifest itself through language practices. It is, among other things, from an institutional point of view that the problematic of an “order of discourse” has been approached. Based on the effects of the performativity of language, the symbolic value attributed to it, and the patterns of domination conveyed by language, the research has shown that power is not an inherent characteristic of individuals, but is linked to the communication situations that imply it, especially in the institution. The legitimacy of language practices, far from being natural, is constructed by social norms and rituals which do not, however, erase the agentivity of individuals. These few thoughts raise the following questions: who exercises power and how? In what way(s) is power transmitted through language? How is legitimate language constructed and reproduced?

The economies of nature in medieval and modern periods

The 12^e summer school in economic history proposes to tackle the fundamental theme of the use that medieval and modern economies made of nature, i.e. the way in which the elements making up their environment were transformed in order to be inserted into the processes of production, exchange and consumption, thus becoming resources with multiple functions that also fundamentally transformed the living environment of human beings, contributing to the construction of rural or urban landscapes. This is as much a question of epistemology as of empirical knowledge, and the partial overlap between two sub-disciplines, economic history and environmental history, raises questions.

Literature to Politics and Politics in Literature

“Mouvances Francophones” (Vol. 10 N°1/2025)

This issue of Mouvances Francophones (Vol. 10 N° 1/2025) seeks to understand the strategic role of literary works in shaping political action. The focus is on how literature shapes the construction of leadership, political vision, governance strategies and political action, on the one hand, and, on the other, how writers construct their works precisely within political thought, so that the literary text becomes the representation or deconstruction of a political program.

The Press of Exile(s)

Centré sur la question coloniale dans la presse d’exil, le congrès vise à discuter la liminalité des expériences d’occupation, de dissidence, de clandestinité et de bannissement dans leur rapport à l’expatriation politique, tant en raison des similitudes de leur impact psychologique que des circulations qu'elles tendent à favoriser. L’objectif est d’encourager les études qui explorent les idées, les images et les débats autour du colonialisme et des réalités coloniales mobilisées par les périodiques d’exil, tant dans leur diversité que mettant en exergue les convergences et les divergences.

Pertes navales au combat

Expériences, gestion et adaptations (XVIIIe-XXIe siècles)

This conference examines the history of naval war losses from eighteenth through the twenty first centuries, forming the second conference of the Naval War Losses group with the parnership of French Navy Center for Strategic Studies. "Loss" here is broadly defined, but focuses primarly on the loss of human lives, forming its own unit of analysis to understand experiences and administration of, as well as adaptation in, naval warfare. This conference encourages analysis of losses in all forms of naval combat, wether at sea, underwater or above water via naval aviation, in cyberspace or beyond, as well as in amphibious campaign. It also encourages consideration of the role of medecine in preventing or mediating naval losses, alongside consideration of broader socio-technologies that shape the rates., recording, and reporting of naval losses.

Matter Materiality

36th Congress of the Comité international d’histoire de l’art (CIHA)

Matter and materiality are relevant to the conception, production, interpretation and conservation of works of art from all cultures and periods. This theme draws on the very sources of art and opens up the major issues of our time (resource management, sustainability, the environment, new technologies, digital dematerialisation, etc.). Taking an interest in the matter and materiality of art means taking into account economic, environmental, ideological and aesthetic aspects, and examining the transformation of works of art over time, as well as the gestures and hands that shape them.

Telling stories / building worlds. Production and reception outside the West

Journal « Communications » (2026)

We are specifically calling for proposals on the phenomena of reception, and even remodelling, of western fictional worlds in other cultural areas. Above all, we hope to supplement this issue by looking at the variety of worldbuilding strategies: the proven and efficient methods of the Japanese and Korean entertainment industries, successful fictional creations in Indian, Nigerian, Mexican, Turkish or Brazilian studios, and even the production of highly successful fictional worlds in countries less renowned for their capacity for cultural influence. In addition to insights from narratology, media cultures and game sciences, the journal will be attentive to anthropological, sociological, legal and/or economic approaches, based on field data from cultural areas whose worldbuilding practices have been overlooked.

Crises, emerging risks and resilience. Challenges for risk management in a changing world

Revue « Laboreal »

A global scenario marked by multifaceted crises - environmental, health, geopolitical and social - is challenging our ability to rethink real work, reduce risks and support productive activity. In both the public and private sectors, facing an increasingly uncertain environment makes it necessary to develop capacities to anticipate threats and manage critical risks in order to avoid crises and recover when this has not been achieved. Laboreal invites researchers involved in these topics to submit their work and contribute to the publication of this issue. Papers detailing field experiences, which provide access to real work, will be given priority. The articles will be published in one of the journal's two languages (Spanish or Portuguese).
