Fighting Harmfulness

Work, Health, and Environment between Knowledge and Power (19th–21st Centuries)

This conference seeks to be a multidisciplinary forum (history, sociology, geography, medicine, anthropology, etc.) devoted to analysing the knowledge, practices, and repertoires of action arising from these mobilisations. It welcomes diverse historical and geographical contexts, especially beyond countries of early industrialisation, to document and map past and present struggles against harmfulness.

Associationism: history, practices and legacies (19th–21st centuries)

Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal Nº 27

This dossier aims to bring together original scholarly contributions that deepen our understanding of associationism in its multiple dimensions, privileging approaches that combine methodological rigour with empirical and analytical breadth. Proposals may be based on specific case studies or comparative analyses and should critically engage with the nature of associationism and its impact on contemporary societies. Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.

Lecture series - America

Cycle of conferences on post-colonial studies from Latin America

This first edition of the Conference Series on Postcolonial Studies from Latin America — conducted in collaboration with the Department of Languages — arose from a particular concern: what does it mean to engage with Latin American thought from France? In an article that also serves as a statement of position, historian Serge Gruzinski attempts to answer this question: France is a place where it is possible to seek a new conception of the relationship between Europe and America, far from the reductions that certain intellectual traditions—notably American postcolonial studies—have made of Latin America.

Mémoires des conflits, conflits de mémoires

Approche pluridisciplinaire des récits et représentations mémoriels contemporains de l’expérience concentrationnaire et répressive en Europe (1933-1945)

Cette journée d’étude porte sur la manière dont les discours contemporains (re)fabriquent la mémoire. Ils sont nombreux et de natures diverses : ils s’enchâssent dans le monde de l’art, ils sont portés par les associations de mémoire et sont omniprésents dans le monde muséal (rappelons par exemple que de nombreux sites concentrationnaires deviennent des mémoriaux). Ils continuent de dialoguer et de se confronter avec l’actualité européenne et internationale. Nous nous focaliserons principalement sur la période de la Seconde Guerre mondiale en Europe, avec une attention particulière à la manière dont la guerre d’Espagne a fourni ses victimes au nazisme.

The Social Life of Names and Naming Practices in the Context of Migration

Names are not mere labels but powerful tools through which people assert identity, are categorised, and negotiate relationships with states, institutions and communities. Whether they refer to people, places or businesses, names do things : they index belonging and difference, tell stories, record histories of mobility and settlement, and mediate social interaction. This topical collection uses names and naming practices to trace the reconfigurations that accompany migration.

Minority Uses of the Past and Dynamics of Power in the Americas (19th–21st Centuries)

This conference follows on from an initial meeting, which focused on the forms of uses of the past, to examine the consequences of these uses and their results, both on national history and on minorities, as well as on disciplines and their methods. Researchers from different disciplines are invited to reflect on the same subjects from the perspective of their methods: anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, historians, specialists in literary studies, cultural studies, art historians, and linguists. The following four themes may guide proposals for papers.

Democracy at University: Voicing Choices

In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection. As a space for academic and civic education, for the transmission of knowledge and collective experimentation, it also constitutes a laboratory for democratic practices.

Development Seen from Africa: Perceptions, Management, and the Challenge of “Better Living”

Revue « Daftari za Ngūgī », Vol. 6, 1er semestre 2027

Ce numéro de la revue Daftari za Ngūgī (ex-Nouvelles Dynamiques Africaines) invite à une rupture épistémique avec les mesures occidentales du développement (IDH). Contre la vision d’une Afrique pathologisée par les classements internationaux, cet appel sollicite des enquêtes empiriques rigoureuses explorant le « développement par le bas » : économie informelle, solidarités villageoises et définitions endogènes du « vivre-mieux ».

Arts and Literature in Latin America in the 21st Century: A Crossroads?

Amerika n°32

Following the colloquium held in Rennes, France, on October 9 and 10, to celebrate the magazine's fifteenth anniversary and as we approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, we would like to explore how contemporary Latin American imaginaries (primarily through literary and artistic production) contextualize not only belonging to specific territories but also the place these territories occupy in an increasingly globalized cultural universe.

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.

Évolution des représentations artistiques des identités marginalisées dans les Amériques (XIX-XXIe siècle)

Ruptures et/ou continuités ?

L’objectif est de faire un état des recherches sur les évolutions des représentations et des imaginaires d’identité et d’altérité sur/dans les Amériques, ainsi qu’aux enjeux de pouvoir qu’ils portent, à travers les pratiques et productions artistiques et culturelles et de poser les bases pour la création d’un réseau international de recherche dans la matière. La réflexion sur les contenus sera indissociable d’une réflexion sur les formes et les conventions narratives et esthétiques en tant qu’« instruments cognitifs » qui véhiculent une adhésion ou une critique au paradigme colonial de la connaissance et du pouvoir occidental.

Résiliences, écologie et plurivers : dialogues entre savoirs, sciences et création (REPLU)

Ce colloque propose d’interroger les dialogues entre savoirs autochtones, sciences humaines, différentes approches scientifiques et pratiques artistiques et littéraires, dans une perspective décoloniale et pluriverselle. Inspiré par les théories du More-than-Human Turn et par les réflexions autour des Pluriversalist Revolutions — entendues comme des pratiques auto-poétiques de recherche-création entre arts performatifs et [contre-] anthropologies —, il s’agira de réfléchir aux manières dont les savoirs situés, les cosmologies locales et les formes esthétiques participent à la construction d’alternatives au paradigme extractiviste dominant.
