Spanish and Greek civil wars: multiple memories and commemorations

K@iros Journal

This issue of K@iros seeks to study the Spanish and Greek civil wars from a cultural history perspective, highlighting parallel discourses and practices of remembrance while identifying the specific characteristics of each conflict’s memory, linked to the internal dynamics of the two societies. The aim is to study the registers, temporalities and scales of memory of these two historical sequences, both within the societies and through the memorial heritage in other spaces. The aim will be to retrace the parallel paths taken by these memories and their intersecting destinies in the multiple media (press, cinema, literature, photography, museums).

Femmes combattantes en France, Grande-Bretagne et Irlande dans la première moitié du XXe siècle

Women in War in France, Britain, and Ireland in the early 20th century

The international conference “Women in War in France, Britain, and Ireland in the early 20th Century” aims to question and expand our understanding of what it means to be a “woman in war.” Through the experiences of women in France, Britain, and Ireland, this conference will explore the multiple forms of women’s engagement and the obstacles they faced in securing recognition and a legitimate place in the collective memory of their nations.

The Age of Trauma and Memory: Literature’s Role in Shaping (Post)Conflict Narratives and Meanings

The international conference responds to the need to rethink how literature shapes memory and figures trauma in (post)conflict situations by focusing on active, unresolved or ongoing, antagonisms. It aims to investigate both the analysis of narrative forms that evoke trauma and their deciphering, interpretation and reception, striving to grasp not only the expressive but also the performative dimension of writing.

Books and manuscripts in exile since the 19th century

Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, books and manuscripts found themselves in forced exile in Europe. Requisitioned during military occupations, such as the books looted by the Nazis during the Second World War, they were also pillaged in the context of colonisation. These cultural objects also went into exile, accompanying exiles fleeing authoritarian, totalitarian regimes or war zones. In this conference, we would like to study the historical phenomenon of books and manuscripts in exile, both from a historiographical perspective and in terms of their heritage value.

From the “Far East” to the “Indo-Pacific”

Crises, Conflicts, and Peace Processes in the Asia-Pacific (20th–21st Centuries)

Si l’histoire des relations internationales a d’emblée placé la guerre et de la paix au cœur de ses analyses, le déséquilibre demeure flagrant entre les études consacrées aux conflits armés, et celles plus discrètes relatives aux processus de paix. Une place particulière sera donc réservée aux acteurs et modalités des négociations ; à la mémoire de ces négociations, de leurs succès comme de leurs échecs, au rôle des organisations internationales ou régionales dans les sorties de guerre, aux conceptions proprement asiatiques de la paix, de la sécurité et du pacifisme, dont la dimension asiatique n’est guère abordée en dehors du Japon.

The Changing Concept of Border in Humanities

Between Fixity and Flux

This conference aims to examine not only the representations of borders but also the acts of their transgression, erasure, or redrawing. The goal is to explore how these borders are inscribed in the body of works, narratives, and languages, and how they shape their reception, transmission, and interpretation.

Terrains criminologiques africains

The African continent remains "marginal" on the international stage of criminological research. Despite the development of academic programs, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Côte d’Ivoire, and the existence of specialized journals, African publications enjoy limited visibility. This lack of visibility can be explained by the standardization of international research, the weakness of research funding, linguistic boundaries, and the scarcity of exchanges between paradigmatic traditions. While anglophone research mostly adopts an etiological or institutional approach (prisons, violence, corruption), francophone work, influenced by interactionism, explores more diversified topics: green criminology, economic criminology, extreme violence, land conflicts, problematic practices of public agents... Numerous studies, although not identified as “criminological,” also contribute to the discipline due to the relevance of their theoretical frameworks. This issue therefore aims to make these African research contexts visible, to go beyond disciplinary boundaries, and to contribute to the conceptual and methodological renewal of a criminology in the making.

Graphic and audio-visual representations of extreme violence intended for a young audience

Since the 1980s, graphic productions (comics, graphic novels, albums) or audiovisual productions (animated films, documentary fiction, documentaries for children or adolescents, etc.) have experienced a certain renewed interest, thanks, among other things, to the combination of narrative and graphics, which allows readers to move from one level of reading to another, thus feeding two distinct but complementary levels of reading. We propose to look at all these productions (graphic and audio-visual) that are aimed at children and adolescents to tell them about the past and the violence that affected their parents or grandparents, or indirectly the history of their family or community, or, more broadly, their country.

Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism in Contemporary Europe (1960s to the Present): Internationalisation, Circulation and Representations

The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

Les mondes arabes au prisme des émotions

The Arab Worlds Through the Lens of Emotions

This call for papers invites scholars from various disciplines and countries across the region to take stock of ongoing research, at a time when emotional currents are particularly in- tense. It seeks to explore how emotions unfold, circulate, and are regulated or instrumenta- lized, in an era where their digital expression plays a decisive role in shaping the understanding and representation of contemporary conflicts. The symposium aims to bring together researchers who analyze emotions from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, with particular attention to their relational dimension—taking into account the flows and confrontations between individuals, collectives, and institutions—as well as to their material, temporal, and spatial embeddedness.

The Challenges of the United Nations (UN) in the light of its 80th Anniversary

Critical Reflections and Perspectives

Every ten years, the United Nations celebrates the anniversary of its creation. Each time it is an opportunity to adapt the Organization to the world around it. In 1995, the Secretary-General saw in the fiftieth anniversary the opportunity for a transition de la vieille à la nouvelle ONU. A similar ambition guided the Millennium Summit in 2005, during which it was a question of “using imagination to strengthen [the] structures”, as Kofi Annan, then Secretary-General, pointed out. What about twenty years later?

Brian De Palma : la politique des images

In 2025, the US filmmaker Brian De Palma will turn 85. To celebrate this New Hollywood pioneer and his impressive body of work (30 feature-length fiction films, not counting ongoing projects, documentaries and shorts), this symposium will look at the director's filmography primarily through political and aesthetic approaches, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on a much-studied filmography. It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

Radicalism(s) and Social Resilience

Youth Confronted with Uncertainty

L’objectif de ce séminaire international est de stimuler la réflexion interdisciplinaire autour de la question des radicalités des jeunes, dans ses différentes formes et à travers des approches aussi diverses que possible. C’est aussi une invitation à dépasser la dichotomie entre l’approche macrosociologique centrée sur le « pourquoi » et l’approche microsociologique subjective et processuelle séduite par « le comment ». Dépassement à même, estimons-nous, d’appréhender la question des radicalités dans sa complexité mêlant l’histoire de l’individu, de l’institution et du contexte. A cet égard, il importe de comprendre les sens, que donnent les jeunes à leurs engagements dans chacune des causes ou des pensées radicales, sens qui ne cessent de gagner en visibilité partout dans le monde (montée du néonazisme, de l’extrême droite, des mouvements régionalistes, etc.).

Unspeakable Conflicts? Factional Conflict and Conflict Communication in the Premodern and Modern Eras

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les groupes forgés par les conflits, qualifiés généralement de « factions », ont fait l’objet de recherches comparées qui ont mis en évidence leur omniprésence. Dans le prolongement de ces travaux, nous souhaitons nous intéresser à la manière dont les factions communiquent pour rendre publics leur existence et les conflits qui les nourrissent. Les discours élaborés par et sur les factions méritent donc d’être analysés avec prudence, en examinant leur structure, le cadre de leur énonciation et les mécanismes de leur diffusion, afin d’évaluer leur sincérité et d’en décrypter les sous-entendus. C’est à ce travail qu’invitent les présentes journées d’étude, dans une perspective comparée large, susceptible d’éclairer ces phénomènes sur le temps long.

Ukrainian music beyond borders: a study of its reception before and after 2024

This international symposium will examine the reception of musical works by Ukrainian composers in artistic institutions (such as Philharmonics, concert halls, artistic centers and festivals) and in the press (both specialized and non-specialized) since 2014. Does the perception of Ukrainian music differ between Ukraine and abroad? If so, what makes this difference? Reflections will integrate various European countries such as England, Germany, the Czech Republic and France, as well as in non-European countries.
