Consolatio. Formes et enjeux de la consolation de l'Antiquité au 21e siècle
Aujourd’hui, la mission de consoler les personnes en souffrance est majoritairement dévolue à des professionnels du soin, des associations, quelquefois à la religion, le plus souvent aux exercices de développement personnel, dont certains se prétendent fondés sur l’enseignement des philosophes antiques. De fait, Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes pour modérer le chagrin suscité par les événements malheureux (décès, maladie, vieillesse, exil, injustice, etc.).

“Scientiae”: Disciplines of Knowing in the Early Modern World
Building on Scientiae’s interdisciplinary legacy, and its study of the production and circulation of knowledge, we will underscore the interconnectedness of regions, periods, cultures, and material and intellectual traditions in the period between 1400 and 1800. Although centred around the emergence of modern natural science, Scientiae is intended for scholars working in any area of early-modern intellectual culture. The Scientiae network encompasses the long Renaissance period and seeks to integrate historiographical reflection into an approach that, since its creation, has been firmly rooted in epistemology and the history of science, as well as intellectual history, and the practice of knowledge in dialogue.

"Chiasmi International" journal n°27
This dossier will explore the various fields of Merleau-Ponty's thought in which his notions of event, rupture and duration are at work or can become fertile and operative. This means exploring not only Merleau-Ponty's work, but also the thought of other authors in the phenomenological tradition or the structuralist and post-structuralist currents. Finally, it means looking at contemporary philosophy and theoretical thinking, to understand how various traditions of thought in the humanities and social sciences are responding today to the challenges posed by events (from the events of 11 September 2001 to pandemics and global ecological issues) and how they thematise notions of duration and rupture in public and private life.

The aim of our Volume 27 of Chiasmi International is to explore the various importances to theinclusion of “nonsense and nonbeing” in philosophy.

Philosophy and the National Question
Taking as its starting point the idea of “philosophical nationalism” proposed by Jacques Derrida, this seminar aims to question the way in which different national and nationalist discourses have accompanied both the construction of modern philosophical historiography and the development of comparative or intercultural philosophy. The division of the world into “philosophical nations” still constitutes today the starting point of any comparative effort and leads to making the “dialogue between traditions” a discourse tending to legitimize national ideologies.

As doubly “evil”—captive and at the same time wicked, joyfully heinous or mysteriously ominous, systematically negative yet dangerously prankish—thoughts will therefore be the multiple objects of the 12th issue of Kaiak. A philosophical journey, which intends to investigate, in an anarchic and unpredictable manner, the ontological as well as psychosocial scope of their presumed inferiority to the limpid greatness of the intellect, their mute plurality, their unspeakable and obsessive presence in the world of culture.

Social interaction and everyday life in offline and online realities
This conference is part of the “Centenary of the Birth of Michel de Certeau” commemoration. Born in Chambéry, Michel de Certeau remains a globally influential interdisciplinary thinker whose work, particularly The Practice of Everyday Life, has impacted fields such as anthropology, media, and cultural studies. This conference seeks proposals that apply and expand on de Certeau's ideas in contemporary contexts. We encourage contributions that connect his work with evolving fields such as phenomenology of artificial intelligence, post-human and queer phenomenology, offering new perspectives on the complex and shifting dynamics of our societies.

This new issue aims at exploring the relationship between Art and Ethics. One of the reasons is that Ethics has been the great absentee in the discussion about climate change. Why is it important to be involved? What are the ethical considerations behind getting involved? How about environmental justice? Many topics that are connected to Ethics. But we want to explore Ethics from an artistic point-of-view: How do artists/artworks contribute to the ethical debate? Is there an ethical way to create art? Can ethics be the main inspiration of art practices? Can art be a ferment for ethics? Can art show the way to society?

Utopic Performances: Reimagining the Common
Confronted with the acute crisis of the constitution of the common, from the representation of the citizen to its articulation in the social body, the reconfiguring capacities of utopic imagination will be examined from a variety of contemporary aesthetic reflexions and practices which redefine the relationships between peoples, institutions, and their ecologies.

Articuler les traditions politico-intellectuelles de l’écoféminisme français et allemand dans une perspective globale
In light of the ecological crisis ecofeminist thought that first emerged as political-ethical and theoretical field during the late 1970s and 1980s has flourished in French and German debates during the last decade. The aim of the conference is to examine the ways in which ecofeminist theory is currently discussed in France and Germany, and how – in both national contexts – the respective traditions of ecofeminist thought and politics are re-articulated, criticized and transformed. Thereby the question how post- and neo-colonial power relations that shape the current ecological situation are addressed in ecofeminist thought will be of central importance. The conference seeks to re-evaluate traditions of ecofeminist thought in French and German speaking contexts, their uneven circulation and their present-day re-articulations.

Hermeneutical Rationality and the Future of the Humanities
The set of challenges facing the Humanities today is an opportunity to rethink their future. This conference puts forward a twofold objective. On the one hand, it intends to explore the extent to which the hermeneutical paradigm of the Humanities (Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer, Ricœur, Taylor), which emphasizes the interpretive core of these disciplines and their contribution to human moral development can still provide meaningful answers to these challenges. On the other hand, it aims to intervene, in a reflective and critical manner, in the debates on the value, need and possible shape of the Humanities in the future.

A Joint Science and Humanities Conference
Since several decades, Earth sciences have been highlighting the enormity of the metabolic disturbances induced by mass productivism on the global scale. The conference will notably consider the materials of the Anthropocene from a “metabolic” perspective, i.e. one that looks at the cycles of transformation of matter within the planetary ensemble, and also includes the social, political and economic representations shaping them.

Digital democracy: promises and illusions
A stable and peaceful society is based on a solid and strong democracy. The democratic model is the future of any society that respects human rights. New information and communication technologies and the still poorly regulated advances in Artificial Intelligence have impacted not only all human activity, but have also contributed to reshaping the relationship with politics, citizen participation, political communication and politics. national and international. Digital democracy (or electronic, cyber, digital) is a political-social phenomenon which began to emerge around fifteen years ago in very diverse national contexts. Today, it is a tool that is used mainly for electoral expression intended for a fairly small number of citizens. The purpose of this international conference is to question the phenomenon of electronic democracy not only from an instrumental point of view (e-voting tool), but to question the conditions of possibility and possible limits.

Ideological discourse and advertising discourse in the media and the universities
Can we distinguish in the current discourses of the media and universities their roles in our societies? This distinction is important because it refers to the knowledge that journalists and professors put forward through their communications and actions. Do they participate objectively developing the autonomous and enlightened thinking of the citizens of today and tomorrow by democratically supporting their quest for understanding? Or have they become the spokesmen of a single, and therefore partial and partial, way of thinking? What is its legitimacy and relevance when it organizes the information transmitted according to ideological interests, such as a promotional or advertising campaign?

Journal “Chiasmi International”
Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology spontaneously evolves in the direction of an ontology, and on several occasions this ontology takes the form of a materialism. Many impulses exert their pressure on the trajectory of Merleau-Ponty’s thought. The Marxism with which he is confronted in the 1950s, the philosophies of nature that converge in his last courses, the great Husserlian theme of the body that explodes in The Visible and the Invisible in an ontology of the flesh. The spectrum of Merleauponty’s materialisms is thus irreducible to any preconceived paradigm and is always intimately embedded in the singular elaborations in which Merleau-Ponty is engaged.
