Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?
The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills
What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?
In L’économie du XXe siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

Describing Creole Languages in the 19th Century: Ideology, Sociology, and Intertextuality
How do beliefs about Creole languages influence the their descriptions by 19th-century creolists? This issue of Archipélies seeks to answer this question, focusing on the beliefs, representations, and, more broadly, ideologies that permeate descriptions of Creole languages from the documentation of Haitian Creole by Ducœurjoly in 1802 to the naturalistic portrayal of Creoles around the turn of the century1. Far from being reduced to simple nomenclatures, descriptions of Creole languages reproduce an ideological background that must be examined in order to better understand the gradual development of a linguistic discourse on the genesis and structures of Creole languages. As linguistic practices born out of colonial situations, forced contact, and historical ruptures, Creoles and their descriptions crystallize the ideological and conceptual divisions of coloniality, threatening its coherence and uniformity.

Ce séminaire constitue un lieu d’échanges sur les travaux actuels concernant les transferts culturels. À chaque séance, deux chercheurs sont invités pour présenter leurs recherches et débattre de leur approche. Le cadre intellectuel est celui de l’histoire et de l’épistémologie des sciences humaines, et le fil directeur des séances, méthodologique : il s’agit de repérer les vecteurs par lesquels s’opèrent les déplacements de contenus intellectuels et culturels ainsi que de questionner les processus de resémantisation qui accompagnent ces transformations. D’une séance à l’autre, les thématiques varient : ce choix est lié au souci de tester la pertinence de l’approche en termes de transferts culturels au-delà de la diversité des objets abordés et de nouer un dialogue entre les disciplines.

Dimensions spatiales des pratiques d’asile (trans)nationales dans les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles
Le colloque explore l’articulation entre asile et espace à travers le prisme des études culturelles et littéraires. À la lumière du Spatial Turn, de la Critical Geography, de la Feminist Geography et de la Postcolonial Spatial Theory, l’espace peut être compris comme le produit d’une pratique socialement construite et dynamique. Comment les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles localisent-elles et matérialisent-elles les pratiques d’asile ? Quelles institutions sont mises en exergue et quelles esthétiques suscitent-elles ?

Actors and representations of the safeguard of nature in mountain areas: a global perspective (late 18th – early 21st century)
The aim of this international scientific conference is to examine the progressive integration of the environmental protection theme into the several mountain ranges of the Earth, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 21st century, concluding in 2022, the International Year of Mountains. By selecting a global perspective, it encourages a decentring of observation points, which in turn brings to light not only the diversity of trajectories but also the possible (direct or indirect) circulation of knowledge, materials, practices and individuals in the different mountain ranges.

Principles, Practices, and Challenges in a Globalized World
This conference aims to explore democracy in the university as a principle, a value, and a practice, both in France and internationally. It is structured around two parts – national and then comparative – and two thematic axes: on the one hand, the exercise of democracy within institutional structures (governance, elections, widened access, reforms); on the other hand, non-institutional forms (student mobilizations, participatory democracy, academic freedoms). The goal is to analyze the issues, actors, and democratic dynamics in a globalized university context.

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les groupes forgés par les conflits, qualifiés généralement de « factions », ont fait l’objet de recherches comparées qui ont mis en évidence leur omniprésence. Dans le prolongement de ces travaux, nous souhaitons nous intéresser à la manière dont les factions communiquent pour rendre publics leur existence et les conflits qui les nourrissent. Les discours élaborés par et sur les factions méritent donc d’être analysés avec prudence, en examinant leur structure, le cadre de leur énonciation et les mécanismes de leur diffusion, afin d’évaluer leur sincérité et d’en décrypter les sous-entendus. C’est à ce travail qu’invitent les présentes journées d’étude, dans une perspective comparée large, susceptible d’éclairer ces phénomènes sur le temps long.

Roman Youth(s) from Octavian to Nero
Neronia XII, SIEN International Congress
Le thème retenu cette année est celui de la jeunesse, sa place dans la société, ses expériences et ses représentations d'Octave à Néron (44 av. J.-C. à 68 apr. J.-C.). Les communications attendues seront centrées sur la jeunesse, possiblement en relation avec d’autres âges (l’enfance et l’âge mûr). On peut prendre en compte toutes les sources, dans toutes les langues vernaculaires de l’empire romain, et de toute nature, épigraphiques, numismatiques, papyrologiques, littéraires, juridiques et bien sûr iconographiques.

Monasteries and religious communities in the Alps from the Middle Ages to the present day
History, landscape, architecture and enhancement of cultural heritage
Volume 31/2026 of Histoire des Alpes – Storia delle Alpi – Geschichte der Alpen wishes to dedicate its Dossier to the theme of monasteries and religious communities in the Alpine region. While the history of regular communities was largely investigated from the second half of the 19th century until the first years of the 20th century, in particular thanks to the impetus of members of the clergy who devoted themselves to collecting, transcribing and translating archives, as well as publishing monographs, there has been a revival of interest in this subject over the last few decades in the Alps and Pre-Alps, driven in particular by archaeologists, by the diversification of issues concerning the religious world and, locally, by the desire of the public authorities to broaden the range of the tourism offer by promoting local heritage.

Other Europes: Concepts, Histories, Narratives
Réunissant des chercheurs internationaux de divers horizons disciplinaires, le colloque vise à examiner l’Europe et l’histoire européenne à partir de perspectives marginalisées, périphériques et subalternes. Plus précisément, il s’interroge sur les concepts, les histoires et les récits autour du thème de l’« Europe » issus de groupes qui n’ont pas accès au pouvoir (politique, économique et social) ou qui subissent une marginalisation sociale ou culturelle en raison, par exemple, de leur nationalité, de leur ethnie, de leur classe, de leur sexe, de leur religion, de leur âge ou de leur sexualité.
