Itinéraires hispanistes : voyageuses françaises et britanniques en Espagne

Le regain d’intérêt pour la littérature de voyage en tant que genre littéraire et témoignage culturel a mis en lumière la richesse des récits écrits par les femmes sur l’Espagne. Ces narrations ne se contentent pas de documenter des expériences personnelles : elles façonnent également des représentations culturelles, des imaginaires sociaux et des visions historiques qui enrichissent les études hispanistes depuis des perspectives francophones et anglophones. L'objectif de ce colloque est de réunir des spécialistes de diverses disciplines afin d’explorer, d’analyser et de débattre des récits de voyage féminins sur l’Espagne. À travers une approche interdisciplinaire, nous proposons d’aborder des questions de genre, d’interculturalité, de représentations culturelles et de circulation de ces œuvres.

Data Visualization in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Digital Storytelling, Big Data, and Open Data

Panel N°9 de la XIe Conférence internationale sur la méthodologie en sciences sociales de Association internationale de sociologie (ISA)

This session focuses on how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming data visualization, incorporating digital storytelling techniques, and addressing the challenges and opportunities posed by Big Data and Open Data. In the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI), data visualization has changed dramatically and has become a crucial tool for interpreting and communicating complex information. This panel will explore how AI is revolutionizing data visualization techniques and integrating elements of digital storytelling to create engaging and meaningful narratives. A key focus will be on how data visualization improves the accessibility and understanding of complex datasets for different audiences and publics, including researchers, policy makers and the general public, by translating abstract numbers into understandable and actionable insights.

Evil Thoughts

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.

Questionner le genre : pratiques, représentations et savoirs

La journée d’étude doctorale du Centre d’histoire culturelle des sociétés contemporaines (CHCSC) et du laboratoire Dynamiques patrimoniales et culturelles (DYPAC) de l’université de Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines est intitulée « Questionner le genre : pratiques, représentations et savoirs ». Cette journée d’étude pluridisciplinaire entend s’appuyer sur le genre et ses pratiques afin de rassembler des jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses - doctorant·es et jeunes docteur·es - autour d’une question transversale particulièrement riche et s’appliquant à tous les champs des sciences humaines, sociales, médicales et fondamentales. Elle repose sur deux axes scientifiques, « Qu’est-ce que le genre fait aux pratiques ? Objets, représentations, activités » et « Où se loge le genre dans les pratiques de recherche ? ».

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.

Youth intimacies

Epistemologies and methodologies in Britain and in France

At a time when the social sciences are taking an increasing interest in the field of the private sphere and intimacy in relationships, the aim of the symposium is to bring together specialists whose work in France and the UK has enriched our knowledge of young people’s intimacy. Using examples of projects on love, sexual and parental relationships, the aim of this symposium is to examine, in a reflective and comparative way, the different theoretical and methodological approaches underpinning research. Definitions, theories and tools (demographic surveys, qualitative interviews as well as visual, narrative and performative methods) and their cultural and institutional contexts, will be explored in order to discuss the production of knowledge in the two countries.

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.

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.

Materials in the Anthropocene

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.

Translation assessment: What is a good/bad translation in the new digitalized context?

Evaluating translations is a multifaceted process crucial for ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural relevance. It aims to assess the quality and effectiveness of translated content. High-quality translations facilitate effective communication fostering global relationships and understanding. Comprehensive analysis and comparison are involved to ensure that the translated text meets the desired standards of accuracy and fluency. On another side, various tools and methods can be employed to evaluate translations, ranging from automated software solutions to manual linguistic scrutiny or translation studies’ outcomes.

Who Cares ? Psychiatry in the English-speaking world

«Who Cares?» is a newly-formed group of scholars from the Université Paris Nanterre, working specifically on the history of psychiatry in the English-speaking world. We are keen to encourage discussions on this subject and strengthen its international dimension. Our aim is also to foster further discussions on links and comparisons between historical perspectives on psychiatry in the French and the English-speaking worlds. This international conference will welcome all historical approaches to psychiatry and more generally to the treatment of mental illness which reflect on the topic “People and places” from the Middle Ages to the end of the 20th century in English-speaking countries.

Emerging Figures of Political Power during the Iron Age II-III in Ancient Western Asia and Eastern Mediterranean: Connected Histories?

Bringing together specialists of the Ancient Near Eastern and Ancient Greek worlds, this international congress will discuss the appearance during the Iron Age I-II of new figures of power and of power management, opposing or presenting political alternatives to the ideologies and socio-economic functioning of the dominant power systems, thus leading, at times, to significant political changes. The debate may highlight the transformative capacity of ancient political systems, going beyond the usual opposition between the extreme conservatism recognized in Near Eastern despotisms, centralized but also often imperialist, and, on the other hand, the evolutionary tendency attributed to the political systems of the Greek world.

Decoding European History through Guns: Methodologies and Research Approaches

What are firearms? How did they impact on the history of European societies? What are the more promising research approaches for studying them? Firearms hold profound implications for European societies, influencing international relations, the diffusion of violence, and State sovereignty. This workshop will convene researchers examining themes such as the relationship between European States and guns, global efforts to regulate arms markets, the role of firearms in changing the societal perception of violence, and the semantic nuances defining these instruments. Through exploration of diverse research methodologies, the workshop aims to highlight the significance of firearms as both a subject of scholarly inquiry and a lens for examining critical aspects of contemporary history, shedding new light on the European past – one trigger pull at a time.

History and Memory: Epistemological Reinterpretation of Africa's Past in a Post-Colonial Context

“Práticas da História” journal

This special issue of Práticas da História is interested in receiving contributions, referring to colonial and post-colonial African contexts. It is important to better understand what is happening in different African countries, at the level of the Academy but also in other spaces where social memory and history confront each other, and how political, ideological, economic and linguistic factors interfere in those situations. In the case of the former Portuguese colonies, which will soon celebrate 50 years of independence, there are additional factors, such as the later end of colonial rule and the delay in historiography about Africa that occurred until recent decades, both in Portugal and in Brazil.

The Pioneers of TransAmerican Art: in the footsteps of a Caribbean Diaspora aesthetic

“Angles” journal

Contributors to this thematic issue of Angles are invited to underline the connection to these ancestral memories and explore their current resurgence in the visual and living arts. Contributions can bear on scientific, fictional, and secular literature, the genius of dance and music, and the visual, scenic, culinary, performing, visual and ritual arts. Themes of interest could include but are not limited to, decoloniality, body politics, representation, restorative justice, Caribbean indigenous thought and practices, and diasporic art spaces. In the spirit of collegiality that animates this publication project, we intend to create the same dynamic between the communities of researchers and artists of the Greater Anglophone Caribbean. This dynamic is therefore open to all those who want to maintain a constructive dialogue to advance the knowledge and sharing of Caribbean aesthetics in the footsteps of the pioneers of TransAmerican art.
