Emergent Urbanism and Urban Futures in the Global South
“City Development : Issues and Best Practices” Journal
The issue examines how urban forms emerge and configure possible futures in contexts shaped by partial infrastructures, social and environmental vulnerabilities, and the reconfiguration of public action. The issue welcomes empirically grounded work — fieldwork, case studies, and comparative approaches — on cities in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Caribbean, in dialogue with contemporary debates in urban studies, the sociology of space, and critical geography.

Boundaries and Belonging in Central Africa and Beyond
At this conference, we seek to highlight questions around the nature of boundaries in Central Africa and beyond - whether that means physical, political, and communal boundaries or disciplinary boundaries. How do boundaries function in the past and present within the region and in its relationships with the rest of the continent? What might it look like to build more effective bridges across boundaries to address the pressing political, economic, and social issues in Central Africa and its diasporas?

Informal Communication in Nazi Europe
World War II, Occupation, and the Search for Meaning in Societies at War
Taking a multidisciplinary, transnational approach, this conference explores the role of informal communication under conditions of World War II occupation and Nazi rule. Bringing together specialists on diverse European societies, the conference examines informal communication’s relationship to official state communications on the one hand, and its embeddedness in specific social realities and wartime mentalities on the other.

Freedom of Conscience in the Pre-Enlightenment (1000-1650)
Freedom of conscience is considered an unalienable right akin to freedoms of expression and speech, as noted in Articles 18 and 19 of the UN Charter. However, if we turn to the Medieval period, and its great diversity of innovative religious writing, it is clear that the mechanics of external oppression upon an individual’s inner life already existed in clear and comprehensible terms. Therefore, the (broad) question we would like to answer is : if we look beyond the eighteenth century, do we see this idea gradually become concrete ?

For an experiential and sensorial approach to spaces
This international colloquium explores how ambiances—light, wind, humidity, sound, temperature—shape the experience of island spaces and the relationships between communities, territories, and built environments. It is structured around five themes : sensorial architectures, digital sensing, geo-sensitive approaches, knowledge and skills, and arts and ambiances.

Conference, symposium - History
This international conference examines the history of confinements through the lens of their materiality. Indeed, confinement is defined by walls that separate individuals from society. Beyond the mere walls, daily interactions between confined individuals, institutional authorities, and staff are largely paved and defined by a variety of things : food, water, books, graffiti, clothes, money, letters, official registers, medicine, punishment objects, etc. In this regard, and drawing on the material turn in history since the early 2000s, things – whether “tangible” things physically available to historians or “textual” things described in written sources – might offer an additional perspective on the history of confinements more broadly, especially when addressing forms of “prison before the prison”.

Placebo, Hypnosis, and Functional Disorders
Bridging basic research and clinical innovation
The international conference Placebo, Hypnosis and Functional Disorders aims to articulate three domains that have historically evolved along distinct trajectories: research on placebo and nocebo effects, hypnosis and suggestion, and the broad field of psychosomatic medicine. These domains are increasingly converging toward shared theoretical frameworks, while also exhibiting a diversity of methodological and experimental approaches rooted in their respective disciplinary traditions.

Universities and Society at the End of Empire and Beyond (UniSoc)
Based upon an academic partnership between the Universities of Birmingham in the UK and Leiden in the Netherlands, Universities and Society at the End of Empire and Beyond (UniSoc) uses these two global seats of learning as a starting point to examine the role of universities in the transition from colonial to postcolonial and multicultural societies over the past century. Both institutions have started to reflect critically on this legacy. Building on these initiatives, and on the emerging scholarship on universities in (post) colonial contexts, UniSoc asks how the remit and modus operandi of European universities evolved in the aftermath of empire, opening a neglected entry-point into the wider question of the interplay between the colonial past and the post-colonial present.

Humanités numériques et défis de l’émergence africaine
Ce colloque sur les humanités numériques en Afrique est un cadre d'échanges qui, au-delà des perspectives interdisciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires, se veut une occasion d'échanges en vue de creuser les limites imposées par le numérique et les sciences sociales. Dans une approche inclusive, il s'agit de montrer en quoi la dématérialisation et la démocratisation de l'information s'érigent en des questions épistémologiques sur le numérique, sur le modèle d’éducation et de culture dans une Afrique en plein essor. Les discussions porteront essentiellement sur le numérique, les lettres, les arts, la pédagogie, la recherche, les sciences sociales et l’émergence de l’Afrique.

Ecritures et formes du décentrement de l’hispanophonie globale
Dans ce séminaire doctoral en ligne, nous souhaitons ébaucher une épistémologie du décentrement en nous intéressant aux pratiques artistiques, littéraires et de médiation qui déplacent les centres, se déplacent par rapport à ces mêmes centres, en recréent de nouveaux, ou introduisent des décalages, déports et brouillages par rapport à différents types de centralités : esthétiques, politiques, sociales, académiques et médiatiques.

Visual Arts and Transformations in Africa
How do the visual arts embody, problematize, and express the transformations of African societies? In light of these questions, it is useful, if not vital, to examine the critical approach to the forms of expression in the visual arts and the techniques that underpin them. This call for papers invites researchers, artists, curators, collectors, and other arts and heritage professionals to submit contributions focusing on the visual arts (classical and contemporary) in Africa, considered as expressions of a social imaginary and as sites for the development of a social aesthetic.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Experiencing the Elusive: Understanding Emotions in Social Sciences
Partially inherited from Enlightenment thought, the opposition of emotion to reason, body to mind, and natural sciences to social sciences has resulted in the marginalisation of the study of emotions and affects by devaluing them within the latter. The study of emotions requires a multidisciplinary approach. Our objective is to discuss emotions in a broad sense using diverse media. This call is therefore intended for a wide range of disciplines, regions, and time periods.

Governance of International Film Festivals: From Rules to Legitimacy
The central issue addressed by this volume lies in the tension between the proclaimed “international” character of film festivals and the absence of a binding international legal framework regulating their activities, selection mechanisms, jury appointments, conflict-of-interest management, and transparency procedures. How do festivals construct their legitimacy? On what foundations is the credibility of their outcomes built?
