Punk (1976-2026). Memories and Commemorations of a Transmedial Culture

Ce colloque bilingue (français et anglais), qui se déroulera du 24 au 26 novembre 2026, prend pour point de départ les 50 ans de « Anarchy in the UK », pour réfléchir sur la mémoire et la commémoration du punk, entendu ici comme un phénomène transnational et transmédiatique. Quelle configuration pour la nostalgie du no future ? Et quelle postérité pour un mouvement si ancré dans le DIY et l’analogique, au sein d’une société où la culture numérique est devenue dominante ?

Revue « Civilisations »

This thematic issue of Civilisations journal seeks to examine dialogical photographic practices in which the image becomes a space of exchange.

Summer School - Representation

Cultivating one’s own garden, expanding horizons

Mapping the personal and the collective through history of art and the humanities, from Impressionism to the present day

The Seine has shaped the history of the Impressionist movement, which, in turn, left a lasting mark on the land. The research framework of this programme places the focus on this influential geographical backdrop, as part of a broader reflection on our regions. Housing traditions, ways of life, social structures, land uses, and the impact of agricultural and industrial development on the landscape are just some of the lines of research that require further study about Impressionism. This summer school aims to open up new perspectives through cross-disciplinary collaboration while experimenting with scales of analysis, to reflect on the experience of land from the most personal to the most universal.

Figures et motifs dans les séries télévisées : images et sons en question

While remaining within the field of aesthetics and drawing on formalist analysis, this conference aims to examine the images and sounds of TV series, their figures and motifs, which are all too often overshadowed by theoretical and especially cultural approaches.

Politics and Narratives of the Body

The International Colloquium Politics and Narratives of the Body aims to open an interdisciplinary dialogue, considering the multiple ways of thinking, representing, embodying and writing corporeality, particularly in contemporary contexts. The policies created around the body generate diverse, dissenting, irreverent and complex narratives, discourses and poetics. In this way, the congress is expected to convene studies on the body and the policies and narratives built around it, from perspectives that include an interdisciplinary approach. Thus, different disciplines of the human, social and artistic sciences would converge in order to transversally think about corporeality.

Visual Culture of Gastronomy

Loin de n’être que des élaborations secondaires (illustrations, médiations ou témoignages), les représentations visuelles participent d’emblée à ce que signifie « bien-manger » en offrant des exemples et des modèles d’expérience et de désir. Elles manifestent la nature composée de la gastronomie, dont le discours est indissociable des autres formes de représentation. À rebours de la définition logocentrique de la gastronomie comme culture de l’écrit, nous nous proposons de déplacer la perspective pour étudier celle-ci comme une relation qualitative à l’alimentation à laquelle participe la culture visuelle.

Bandes Dessinées, Comics, Manga and Food Cultures through History

Ce 15^e colloque de l’Institut européen d’histoire et des cultures de l’alimentation (IEHCA) sera l’occasion d’échanges entre ces deux champs d’études, toutes disciplines confondues, que constituent les food studies et les comics studies. Il se veut une invitation à mieux apprécier l’importance et les conditions de mobilisation du neuvième art dans les travaux consacrés aux food studies mais aussi à confronter les travaux que les comics studies consacrent à ces thèmes aux interrogations et préoccupations propres aux recherches sur les cultures alimentaires. Poursuivant la tradition de large ouverture disciplinaire et d’intérêt pour l’ensemble des aires culturelles et périodes historiques que porte l’IEHCA les communications porteront sur des terrains et des approches les plus divers.

Figures of naturalism

Perspective Journal, no. 2027 – 1

At a time when ecology has become a major preoccupation and a key issue in political, economic and social terms alike, art historians have resolutely taken on the questions it raises through a profound renewal of their approach to nature. The term “figures”, in the geometrical and metaphorical sense of forms, singular historical and cultural configurations, calls for identifying, investigating and understanding the different definitions of naturalism that the history of art has produced, depending on their specific intellectual contexts.

Dialogue Between Matter and Form: Aesthetic Issues in the Arts and Design

This international symposium explores the aesthetic, technical, and cultural dialogue between marble and sculptural form. By examining marble across art history, contemporary sculpture, architecture, and design, the event aims to understand how matter shapes artistic expression and how creators negotiate between material constraints and formal innovation. The symposium seeks to foster interdisciplinary debate, highlight regional and Mediterranean practices, and propose new perspectives for research, creation, and sustainable development in marble-based artistic practices.
