Rome
Despite their numerical preponderance among the missionary workforce exercising a Christian apotolate at the end of the Ottoman Empire, women have long attracted less work than men. A rebalancing is in progress, spurred on by the gender studies and extended to the whole Muslim world. We will focus on real encounter and conflict situations, avoiding an essentialist approach to Islam and considering the extreme diversity of the field strategies and practices. This approach will be carried out in equal parts, in a decentering and critical way, far from denominational approaches.

Apocalypse and dystopia in Italian and French literature, 1945 to the present
« Cahiers d’études italiennes, Novecento… e dintorni », n° 42, printemps 2026
Les intrigues dystopiques et apocalyptiques sont fréquentes dans la littérature récente et contemporaine. Pour en saisir toute la portée, il faut néanmoins les replacer dans le contexte historique constitué par la révolution scientifique (théorisée par Francis Bacon), la transformation capitaliste de l’économie, la philosophie de l’histoire (née dans la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle) ainsi que par les courants « messianiques » modernes auxquels ces intrigues apocalyptiques s'opposent...

Épidémies et maladies transmissibles. Des fléaux à travers l’Histoire
Epidemics and Transmissible disease. Scourges throughout History
The COVID-19 pandemic, which has spread worldwide since 2019, originating from China, draws attention to a recurrent phenomenon over the centuries, that of epidemics and transmissible diseases. Firstly, it is important to define the terms of the subject. An endemic disease is one that persists permanently in a given region, such as malaria. An epidemic occurs when a contagious disease affects a large number of people at a specific time. A pandemic occurs when the disease rapidly spreads to a significant portion of the planet.

Overridden infrastructure. Governance and mobilities in African cities
“EchoGéo” Journal
Over the past decades, many cities have been developing new transport infrastructure and mobility plans. In the Global South, and specifically in Africa, these past years have been synonymous with multiple attempts to modernize mobility systems. Yet those models of mobility, along with the infrastructure that sustains them, are quickly overridden by unexpected uses, new technologies, new vehicles and means of mobility which may contradict these plans. Supposedly new means of transport of people and goods appear, which use recent technology, business models and infrastructure in a way that cannot be predicted by urban planners. Our purpose is to collect contributions that offer different examples of and viewpoints on planning, governance, actual uses of different types of infrastructure and forms of mobility across the African continent.

Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM): Power and Territorialization in the Global South
“EchoGéo” Journal
This thematic dossier of EchoGéo explores artisanal and small-scale mining through the prism of the geography of power. The craze for artisanal mining has to be seen in the context of poverty, as a desirable prospect despite the precarious conditions it offers and the great risks it exposes workers to. Scientific research and debate on artisanal mining have largely focused on these issues, often compartmentalised according to the regions studied and/or specific minerals. The aim of this issue is to examine the differences and similarities in the profound transformations taking place as a result of the expansion of this activity almost everywhere in the world, by approaching this diversity through the relations of power and territorialisation surrounding this activity.

Conference on environmental research and climate change in Madagascar
On the international stage, Madagascar's diverse environmental research and projects are well-known. There are numerous ongoing international-led initiatives, conferences, and even visual arts highlight Madagascar’s rich biodiversity and conservation efforts. Simultaneously, they also foreground environmental challenges on the island, that both impact local fauna, and flora, and the people whose lives and livelihoods are tied directly to the wellbeing of their environment.

The body in higher/tertiary education, face-to-face and distance learning
Contextes et Didactiques n° 25, 2025
This call for contributions for the publication of issue 25 of the journal Contextes et Didactiques, scheduled for April 2025, emanates from the study day entitled “La place du corps dans l'enseignement tertiaire en présentiel et à distance” (The body in higher/tertiary education, face-to-face and distance learning), held at the Haute école pédagogique de Lausanne on November 22, 2024. The scientific event was attached to the trinational project: RESPIRE – Rétablir l’Expérience Sensible pour des Pratiques Inclusives, Résilientes et Équitables. This project explores the possibilities of preserving the synergy between the cognitive and the sensitive, including in remote modalities, through professional support centered on the experiential. We pay particular attention to embodied and contextualized knowledge, and to the ways in which it is transmitted, which we approach through sensitive experience.

Misopedia. Adult domination in contemporary artistic, scientific, political and medical
Misopaedia refers to the hatred of children (in the same way that misogyny refers to the hatred of women). Our aim is to show through a multidisciplinary lens that misopaedia is internalized and trivialized, therefore overlapping discourses on young people. In this effort, we will bring together literary and cinematographic fictions, but also other forms of fictional discourses found in medicine, psychology, the social sciences and politics.

Archives of Archaeology: History, Plurality, and New Perspectives
Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, les archives de l’archéologie suscitent l’intérêt d’historiens et d'archéologues mais aussi d’archivistes et de conservateurs. L’exploitation de ces sources, qui ne se limitent pas aux seuls documents de terrain, s’est désormais imposée pour écrire l’histoire de la discipline, de ses acteurs et de ses multiples facettes socio-politiques et culturelles. La journée d’étude est consacrée à la présentation de nouveaux regards et usages des archives de l'archéologie, appréhendées dans leur plus large définition, comme tremplin d’une histoire renouvelée, sociale et politique, de l’archéologie.

Ibn Khaldun: Universal Thought and Shared Heritage
Despite numerous studies and research on Ibn Khaldun, several aspects related to his life and thought require further exploration and analysis. Ibn Khaldun, as a symbolic historical figure, is considered a heritage that is both shared and contested by many contemporary countries that seek to "monopolize" affiliation with this figure and his intellectual contributions. This workshop, which coincides with the 692nd anniversary of Ibn Khaldun's birth, aims to contribute to deeper research on the life and thoughts of this eminent figure. Its aim is to understand how political and intellectual circles, both in the East and in the West, have received Khaldunian thought since the Middle Ages, but especially after its "rediscovery" in the contemporary era.

This call is dedicated to the Freedom/Responsibility binary, a concept that has regained significance and is being widely discussed in national and international contexts today. While philosophical inquiries into the relationship between freedom and responsibility have been central throughout history, especially in the works of scholars like Plato, Aristotle, Averroes, Thomas Aquinas, and Ibn Khaldun, this binary is currently a focal point of public debates addressing contemporary issues related to individual liberation.

This symposium will explore the global musical instrument market’s various facets from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth century. The joint study of markets and collections, which grew in parallel and fed off each other during the period, aims to map the flows of instruments, the places and the players who put them into circulation from the perspective of a global history of music and material cultures. Upstream, the goal is to explore the provenance of the materials used in making instruments. Downstream, the reflection will focus on acquisition methods in the colonial context, instrument-makers’ sales strategies, the role of world’s fairs and colonial exhibitions, the social uses of instruments and the representations associated with them.

“Walking” Practices and Trades in East Asia
Traces and Techniques of Circulation on Foot: Modern and Contemporary Perspectives
This conference is to revisit “walking” practices and trades in Asia from the 15th century to the present day – but without geographical and chronological exclusivity, and taking into consideration the essential participation of pack animals in human mobility. Some pedestrian practices have been decisive in the functioning of societies, in supplying towns and remote regions; others “marches” carry, in terms of protests, a powerful political dimension, leading to profound social transformations.
