    California as the Epicenter of Social Sciences

    This international symposium aims to gather and unify the various strands of social science research—including American studies, sociology, social anthropology, history, political science, and geography—whose methodologies (archival work, oral history, ethnography, participant observation, semi-structured interviews, etc.) allow for an intersectional examination of territorial, social, and racial inequalities and policies. It will offer a forum for field insights into the challenges and difficulties faced by France-based scholars in applying these methodologies to distant research fields.

    Ludopédagogie

    Ludopedagogy

    Ludopedagogy refers to the use of games in an educational context, whether for affordance purposes, to enhance engagement, or to transform skills or representations. The games utilized as artifacts and situations cover a wide range of realities and experiences: video games, games in digital simulation environments, analog games, role-playing games, board games... While their use in educational contexts is not new in itself, the increasing prevalence of ludopedagogical practices and tools in higher education highlights an unprecedented dynamic and raises questions. Certainly, this visibility of ludopedagogy must be linked with the major issues driving higher education: considering diversity and striving for inclusion, a competency-based approach, supporting success in all its forms, the learner's experience, promoting active pedagogies, utilizing digital tools, and fostering professionalization. Given these transformative challenges, it is essential to critically and scientifically assess what ludopedagogy can contribute to higher education. How can games offer a pedagogical opportunity that supports the development and acquisition of skills?

    Modalities and Meanings of Disappearance

    Le dossier consacré à « la disparition » de Silence(s) : revue interdisciplinaire entend traiter des objets des sciences humaines et sociales marqués par l’anéantissement (disparition d’objets, de personnes, de lieux etc.). Avec ces contributions, il ne s’agit pas de constater l’absence, de faire le compte rendu des effacements de traces, des collectes de fragments, des relevés de ruines, des restes, des silences, des lacunes et des vides, mais d’étudier d’une part ce que le phénomène de disparition induit sur nos pratiques de recherche, et d’autre part ce que ces actions éclairent des relations sociales, présentes et passées.

    Kingship in Sparta from Menelaus to Nabis

    Foundations, practices and representations

    Spartan dual kingship is one of the most astonishing aspects of Sparta's constitution: despite the vicissitudes of history, it was perpetuated with a certain constancy in a particular political system from its mythical origins to its evolution into a monarchy and disappearance in the Hellenistic period. This preservation has been achieved at the cost of constantly reinventing the representation of kings and their institutional function.

    Women’s Voices on Nobility

    This colloquium invites us to compare, on the one hand, women’s history and, more specifically, women’s authorship and expression history without reducing them to the simple field of writing and, on the other hand, aristocracy and the concept of nobility’s history in particular. The aim will be to explore any feminine discourse conveying ideas about the nobility, whether from a nobility member, a woman from outside the nobility or a fictional female character. The colloquium calls for an interdisciplinary approach insofar as its themes can be examined from the point of view of history, literature, sociology, art history, and musicology.

    Call for applications “Visiting researchers” - ERC AGRELITA (2025)

    Until now the reception history of ancient Greece in pre-modern Western Europe has focused almost exclusively on the transmission of Greek texts. Yet well before the revival of Greek teaching, numerous vernacular works, often illustrated, contained elaborate representations of ancient Greece. The ERC AGRELITA studies a large corpus of French language literary works produced from 1320 to the 1550s in France and Europe, before the first direct translations from Greek to French, as well as the images of their manuscripts and printed books. The project “The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550) : how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities”, directed by Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas, opens guest researchers residencies in 2025.

    Entreprises minières et transitions : perspectives de longue durée

    Mining companies and transitions: long-term perspectives

    La revue Entreprises & Histoire fait un appel à contributions pour un numéro consacré à la thématique « Entreprises minières et transitions ». Alors qu’elle n’a cessé de fermer ses mines depuis plus de 30 ans, l’Union Européenne a décidé de relancer son activité minière. Les pays européens ont en effet pris la mesure de leur dépendance énergétique, notamment à l’égard de la Chine et de ses « métaux rares », dont elle a le quasi- monopole (extraction, transformation), et qui sont essentiels tant à la production d’objets du quotidien qu’au développement de technologies bas carbone nécessaires à la transition écologique.

    Migration and Transmission

    The transmission of scientific and academic knowledge on migration cannot be envisaged today without a plurality of research, socio-economic and civil society actors. This calls for a reflection on the ways in which research is carried out and presented in the light of the circulation of knowledge. It also raises the question of “transmission in migration”, i.e. everything that is transferred between different groups in society (migrants/descendants of migrants/non-migrants) at different levels. What are the legacies and discontinuities from a family and intergenerational perspective, from one migrant group to another, from one institutional practice to another? The aim is to examine the practices and uses, as well as the purposes, of the transmission of political, economic, cultural and social forms in “migrant worlds”.

    French colonial empire and the environment (16th-20th centuries)

    En histoire, les champs de l’histoire environnementale et de l’histoire des mondes coloniaux se sont croisés dans des perspectives globales ou dans des analyses situées principalement dans l’empire britannique. Cette histoire environnementale des empires a également fait l’objet de travaux approfondis dans le domaine des représentations environnementales, des jardins botaniques ou encore des savoirs agronomiques. Il n’en demeure pas moins que l’empire colonial français demeure l’un des parents pauvres des études environnementales, notamment si on le compare à l’empire britannique. Pour contribuer à leur développement, ce colloque se propose de réunir les chercheurs et chercheuses travaillant (notamment) dans une perspective environnementale sur l’empire colonial français aux époques moderne et contemporaine. Tous les espaces de l’empire (Amériques, Antilles, Afrique, Asie, océan Indien, Océanie) sont concernés.

    Uprooting-Rooting: from India to the Caribbean Social, Cultural, Literary and Linguistic Repercussions

    While the first indentured Indians arrived in the British-controlled Caribbean in 1845, where slavery was abolished in 1830 in the French territories, the first Indians did not arrive until 1853, since slavery was not abolished there until 1848. Although these two colonial nations (France and Great Britain) were political and economic rivals, when it came to preserving money matters and maintaining a hold on international trade, they were ready to come to terms to pursue “human trade” while naming it differently: indentured labour. The victims of this trade allowed themselves to be seduced by the false promises of recruiting agents in order to escape bad weather and its corollary, famine, but also misery, epidemics and the oppression of the caste system. In particular, they were attracted by the dream of returning home wealthy.
