Analysis of relics, hagiographic legends and Carolingian memories

Around the body of the Apostle James the Greater in Toulouse

Since the 14th century, the Basilica of Saint-Sernin in Toulouse has been proud to possess the entire body of James the Greater. After a first preparatory seminar on 11 March 2019 in Toulouse (Vraies et fausses reliques: un vrai faux problème), a workshop was held on 10 December 2021 (Les reliques toulousaines de Jacques le Majeur), focusing on the material aspects (examination of bones, reliquaries, and authentic items). In a final stage, the results of these analyses should be put into perspective during a meeting which would lead to the writing of a monograph bringing together all the studies carried out on the relics of Saint James in Toulouse.

Decentering the analysis of Africa-China relations

Revue internationale des études du développement n°251 (2023-1)

The question put forward by the vast majority of works studying the relations between Africa and China is “What is China doing in Africa? What are the Chinese doing in Africa?”, thus often overlooking the anthropological dimension of social, economic, and political change in which African actors can reclaim their place, in other words an approach that would decenter China and the Chinese in order to shed light on the microfoundations of the macroprocesses of development by examining Africa and Africans. Agency – or agentivité as it is now commonly called in French – is defined here as the ability to effect or introduce socio-economic and political changes in the arena in which the actors are involved. By addressing the question of African agentive practices and norms in Afro-Chinese relations, this call for papers therefore leads to decentering China to focus on Africa.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

AntiAtlas of Epistemicide

AntiAtlas of Epistemicide is a collaborative artistic and scientific project that brings together notices and synthetic articles on epistemicides, past or present, anywhere on the planet. The articles collected in this book will be accompanied by a map designed specifically for each example of an epistemicide. The question being as singular as it is unfathomable, this project does not have an encyclopedic aim, but to the contrary, to establish a non-exhaustive and subjective atlas, assumed to be both a scientific work and an artistic catalogue. As all disciplinary fields are concerned by this question, antiAtlas of Epistemicide is opening its call for contributions to a authors of all disciplinary affiliations.

Learning from territories / Teaching territories

In German (lehren / lernen) as in Arabic (تعليم / تعلم), a single letter distinguishes the concept of teaching from the concept of learning. Whether defined as a theoretical object of scientific knowledge that can be taught or as a body of practices that can be passed on, there is no escaping the need to address the issue of the relationship between the apparent universality of the concept of territory, on the one hand, and the variety of uses to which the term is put and the range of practices associated with it, on the other. The sixth CIST conference will focus on two questions: how to teach about territories (academic knowledge, empirical methods, disciplinary approaches, etc.) and how to learn from territories (observing, exploring, describing, experiencing, etc.).

Transforming and appropriating space in the Iberian empires of the 15th to 17th centuries

Journée doctorale Campus Condorcet

The appropriation and transformation of landscapes and territories are at the core of the colonial processes in the Iberian empires. By focusing on the modalities of space transformation, this workshop will interrogate the specificity of the tools and practices developed in the Iberian Empires to control space and exploit territories, between the 15^th and 17^th centuries.

Versailles

Conference, symposium - History

The Myth of Versailles and European Courts, 17th and 20th centuries

Ce colloque est organisé dans le cadre du programme « Identités curiales et le mythe de Versailles en Europe : perceptions, adhésions et rejets (XVIII^e-XIX^e siècle) » mené par le centre de recherche du château de Versailles. Il a pour objectif d’analyser le modus operandi du mythe de Versailles dans l’Europe monarchique des XVIII^e, XIX^e et XX^e siècles, en prenant en compte les deux éléments contradictoires mais complémentaires qui caractérisent cette notion : le réel et la reconstruction du réel. L’enjeu sera donc double : cerner comment les différents aspects propres à l’identité de Versailles ont pu nourrir un imaginaire, mais aussi saisir la manière dont cet imaginaire a pu susciter d’autres réalisations – architecturales, rituelles, politiques.

The Beauty of America, of its identities and territories

Representations in the visual arts (19th to 21st centuries)

Pour le prochain numéro de la revue Amerika, qui sera plus spécifiquement consacré aux arts plastiques, nous souhaitons interroger le concept de beauté, en lien avec les Amériques, à travers le rapport à l’émerveillement, à la fascination, mais aussi à la violence et à la manière dont l’art transcende l'horreur.

The Fantastic from screen to books, from books to screen: adaptations, reworkings, translations, mentions

Revue « Caderno de Letras », #43 (2022)

Since its origins, Cinema has made evident the existence of an open dialogue with other forms of art, either by having incorporated them into its own language – given its hybrid particularity, being simultaneously narrative, performative, visual and voiced –, or by having used existing productions as inspiration and having created, from them, new forms of art. Literature has proven to be a fertile ground for inspiration. Not by chance, great works that mark the beginning of the cinematographic trajectory were adaptations of novelistic or theatrical literary works. We propose for the issue 43 of Journal Caderno de Letras a dossier on all the potentialities of such dialogue involving Fantastic literary and audiovisual productions, whether based on adaptations (in both directions) or on the direct or indirect presence of Literature in audiovisual media or of audiovisual productions in literary texts.

Petropolitics in the Countries of the South

Revue internationale des études du développement n°250 (2022-3)

For this special issue, we consider a broad approach to the world of hydrocarbons, ranging from economics to cultural issues, and including history, politics, demography, sociology, and anthropology. Our aim is to go beyond a conception that reduces oil-producing countries to black boxes with outgoing flows of oil and gas and incoming financial flows, thus boiling everything down to this single (economic, political, and geopolitical) issue. Before causing global warming, oil had an in situ impact on territories, human communities, and ecosystems. This approach calls for a critical rereading of the abundant literature on the oil-producing countries of the South, in order to tackle oil-related phenomena differently, to identify new connections between them, and to examine those which are only little or not studied.

Old age: experience and representations

Pour sa onzième édition, la journée des doctorant·e·s du laboratoire AMERIBER (EA 3656) vise à explorer le concept de vieillesse – processus physiologique inévitable mais aussi construction sociale dont les caractéristiques varient selon les époques – dans les champs des sciences humaines, des arts et de la littérature. Les onze interventions de cette journée permettront d'explorer ses différentes représentations mais aussi les enjeux socio-culturels, artistiques, institutionnels, littéraires et politiques qui en découlent.

Lors de cette journée d’étude, nous interrogerons les notions de marges et de périphérie dans les imaginaires et les récits d’Amérique latine : quelles mises en perspectives, constructions narratives et économies culturelles en découlent ?

Festivals and trans (national) cinematographic dynamics : forms of production, circulation and representation

This international conference will take place at the University of Toulouse 2, simultaneously to the international film festival Cinelatino - Rencontres de Toulouse in March 2022. The objective is to go beyond a binary national / transnational approach to cinema in order to understand the articulation between practices, mediations, rhetorics and representations that form this contemporary cinematographic spatiality. It aims at promoting a collective and internationally open dialogue around the strong relations between festivals, production support systems, residencies and the circulation of professionals. If the starting point was the cinemas of Latin America, it is now our intention to develop a more comparative approach with other regions of the world which also participate in these international dynamics - such as Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, the Near and Middle East....

Imagining the “musical memorial”

Music and (re)transmission of memories of slave trades and slaveries

The aim of this special issue is to pursue the reflection initiated by the journal Esclavages & post~esclavages/Slaveries & Post~Slaveries on the work of artists and their re-actualization through sensitive forms of the history and memories of the slave trades and slaveries, this time with a focus on the question of music. This dossier will attempt to unfold the complex ways in which music has become a source and a resource for memories, from the time of the slave trades and slaveries to the present day.

The Americas, lands of books

RITA N°15

In 2020, a project to introduce a tax on books in Brazil—the sector had so far enjoyed a tax-exempt status—, promoted by the Ministry of Economy, clashed with the country's publishing community and was finally buried by pressure from Evangelical circles, eternal supporters of the Bolsonaro government. In a country where the Bible is still the most widely read book, and where sales records are held by religious publishing houses, it is obvious that this could only represent an object of conflict. Beyond its anecdotal dimension, this fact raises questions about the book itself as an object. As trivial and mundane as it may seem, the book is still a strategic object, which can be apprehended in its materiality, as Roger Chartier does—by observing its circulation, its storage, its sales and purchases, whether official or underground—but also in its content.

The automatised transcription of manuscript sources with eScriptorium

Cette formation a pour objet la transcription automatisée de sources manuscrites, en anglais HTR (Handwritten Text Recognition), via l’outil eScriptorium, une alternative libre à Transkribus, développée à l’université PSL en partenariat avec INRIA, qui s’appuie sur l’outil de transcription automatisée Kraken et qui montre ses fruits en termes d’efficacité et de disponibilité du code source. Cette formation sera centrée sur une écriture répandue en Péninsule Ibérique entre le XIII^e et le XV^e siècle, représentée par un manuscrit du scriptorium du roi Alphonse X, le Sage (1221-1284), autour duquel tournera la formation, et à partir duquel sera produit un modèle de reconnaissance automatique qui sera publié par la suite. Il s’agira ici de faire dialoguer philologie et humanités numériques.
