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.

Translation and Translators in the Colonial Context

Roles, Functions and Narratives

The chronological reading of colonial contexts allows us to identify the “organic” link between translation and the colonial project, before, during and after the military occupation. Translation has acquired several functions; highlighting the role of the translator between the narratives of the colonizer and that of the colonized. Until 2000, seventy percent of the world's population had a “colonial” past, either as a colonizer or as a colonized. (Etemad, 258), which suggests that more than seventy percent of the world's population have been affected, and perhaps still are, through the prism of translation. The Conference will attempt to understand how translation was put at the service of the colonial project? What translation approaches have been adopted by translators and interpreters? How did translational discourse influence the cultures of the occupier and the occupied?

The Worlds of Pre-Modern Neutrality (ca. 1400-1800): Norms, Institutions and Practices

This symposium aims to contribute new insights to the long-term history of neutrality, focusing on its "pre modern" dimension broadly understood (ca. 1400-1800). Indeed, the law of neutrality started to emerge in the Early Modern Age through the practices and beliefs of the European state system, but also from its interactions with non-European normative and cultural systems. Different but complementary angles of approach can be used to understand this phenomenon: e.g. diplomatic history, IR history, political history, economic history and legal history. Throughout history, polities as well as private actors have interpreted neutrality in flexible and divergent ways, e.g. proposing a proactive-assertive approach or a more passive and inward looking one. Benefiting from multiple disciplinary perspectives, the symposium takes into consideration both the theory and the practice of neutrality, advancing our knowledge of the often-contested conceptualisation of legal regimes at sea as well as on land. Such a conceptualisation depended on the interaction between situations of peace and diverged across different temporal and spatial coordinates.

Food, power and the African diaspora: Exploring intersections

Issue of Civilisations journal vol.74, 2025

Over the last decade the concept of decolonisation has circulated not just in academic circles but also in the political arena and activism in the global North-West. To what extent do decolonisation efforts carry the potential for food justice and in what ways are African diasporas concerned about the decolonisation of food systems and engaged in efforts to make their foods more accessible? We seek contributions that engage with the experiences of diasporic communities and their aspirations, struggles and actions to reshape African food systems. This issue seeks to explore socio-cultural, economic and political aspects of the foodways of the African diasporas. The focus is the dynamics and interplays of power shaping current African food systems and how African diasporas relate to and engage with their food traditions.

Le monde en polycrise: défis géopolitiques et réponses du droit international

Le monde se trouve au cœur d’une « polycrise », un enchevêtrement de crises qui s’étendent aux systèmes mondiaux. Le terme « polycrise » illustre la façon dont les crises mondiales sont interconnectées, entrelacées et s’aggravent mutuellement. Si ce concept est utilisé avec plus de clarté et de précision qu'il ne l’a été jusqu’à présent, il pourrait apporter des éclaircissements essentiels et nouveaux sur notre situation actuelle. C'est pourquoi l’Université européenne de Valencia lance un appel à communications sur les thèmes suivants : les approches conceptuelles de la polycrise, l’impact de la polycrise sur l’économie, l’intelligence artificielle dans le contexte de la polycrise, les nouvelles inégalités générées par la polycrise, les réponses juridiques et politiques au défi de la polycrise, l'environnement en tant que cause et « victime » de la polycrise, ainsi que l'impact de la polycrise sur la sécurité et les droits de l“homme.

La Guerre froide des latino-américains

Circulations révolutionnaires et contre-révolutionnaires

Pendant la Guerre froide en Amérique latine, la formation des identités individuelles et collectives, la configuration des espaces politiques et la structuration des idéologies et des ordres sociaux ont été marquées par des phénomènes de circulation. Dans le cas des études consacrées à cette période, la notion de « circulation », c'est-à-dire le déplacement ponctuel ou permanent d'acteurs au-delà des frontières géographiques, linguistiques et culturelles, a donné lieu à des travaux qui réinterprètent les plus diverses modalités transnationales de diffusion et d'appropriation des idées. Comme dans d'autres parties du monde, en Amérique latine, les circulations comprenaient des dispositifs culturels, matériels et symboliques qui ont façonné une jeunesse contestataire, inspirée par les projets de libération du Tiers-monde. Au même temps, des groupes et des acteurs contre-révolutionnaires, soucieux de rétablir l'autorité de l'État, dela famille et de la religion par des alliances à l'échelle planétaire, émergent en réaction aux courants transformateurs et tentent d'écarter la menace communiste.

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.

African colonialism : Origins, development and modern challenges

This call for paper explores the multifaceted nature of African nationalism, which encompasses historical, political, social, economic, cultural, and linguistic dimensions. It argues that scholarly research on this topic should adopt an interdisciplinary approach to fully grasp its complexity. African nationalism, rooted in colonialism, evolved as a response to internal and external factors, aiming for political independence and broader African unity. However, post-independence challenges in governance, economic development, cultural identity, and education persist. The call emphasizes the need for further interdisciplinary research to delve into the past, present, and future of African nationalism.

Knowledge, Ideology and Public Discourse in contemporary China

Savoirs, idéologies et discours publics en Chine contemporaine

The pandemic, travel restrictions, and political ossification in China have all disrupted communications between Chinese scholars in the humanities and social sciences and their counterparts overseas.

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.
