    Partout et en tous temps ? Les lieux propices au harcèlement sexuel avant #metoo

    Le projet AVISA, démarré en 2020, a pour objet d’écrire l’histoire du harcèlement sexuel en Occident sur la longue période. Ses membres se sont, dans un premier temps, interrogé sur les termes utilisés pour rendre compte de cet impensé du droit jusque dans les années 1980. Après l’interrogation de la figure du harceleur au début de l’année 2024, et donc du « qui » harcèle, ce colloque se posera donc la question du « où » et du « quand ». Poursuivant les travaux précédents, les communications sont invitées à envisager l’ensemble des lieux propices à ce type de comportements et à en dresser une cartographie sur la base de dénonciations et témoignages privés (archives, correspondances…) et publics (livres de conduite, presse) mais également à travers l’analyse d’œuvres littéraires, artistiques et médiatiques.

    In Relation to Life

    Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

    La relationalité, en tant que concept et cadre théorique, est devenue une composante essentielle dans les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines. Son importance transversale se manifeste dans sa description comme un changement de paradigme dans les sciences, un tournant relationnel dans la philosophie et la théorie, et une nouvelle finalité de la politique. Ce colloque vise à établir des liens entre les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines en se concentrant sur les différentes façons dont ces dernières abordent et intègrent la relationalité biologique, comprise comme l'enchevêtrement des entités vivantes entre elles à différentes échelles (cellulaire, physiologique, multi-espèces, écosystémique, planétaire, etc.) et avec des entités non vivantes (polluants, machines, matière elle-même, etc.).

    Women, Musical Genre and Gender Identities in Chaabi Music, from Morocco to the Diasporas

    The aim of this conference is to take stock of knowledge about one of the most widespread genres of Moroccan popular music: ša‘bī ('popular', commonly written chaabi), as well as the role of women in its history, transmission and practice. We want to bring together academics (ethno-musicologists, anthropologists, historians, linguists), artists (musicians, dancers, singers, actors) and other specialists (instrument makers, cultural workers, event providers) as part of a wider event, the Habibi Chaabi Festival, which will include concerts, screenings, musical workshops and popular festivals.

    In Relation to Life

    Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

    Relationality as a concept and a framework has become an essential component of contemporary science, theory and politics. Its transversal importance has been evidenced through its qualification as a paradigm shift in the science, as a relational turn in philosophy and theory, and as a new end goal of politics. This conference aims at creating bridges between contemporary science, theory, and politics through focusing on the various ways they approach and integrate biological relationality, understood as the entanglement of living entities with each other at different scales (cellular, physiological, multispecies, ecosystemic, planetary, etc.) and with nonliving entities (pollutants, machines, matter itself, etc.).

    Imagining Italy

    Space, Gender and Discourse in Women’s Writing (1789-1914)

    This conference will explore women writers’ contributions to the representation of Italy in Europe, from the 19th century to the outbreak of the First World War. At a time when women were increasingly present in the public sphere, Italy was for them a source of particular interest and attention, as women writers began to contribute to a discourse that had previously been predominantly restricted to men. Through a cross-cultural and comparative perspective, the conference aims to intersect representations of space and notions of gender, in order to trace the construction and reappropriation of Italy by women authors.

    International Conference on Sexual Diversity Studies in Ibero-America: Desires, Spaces and Identities

    Artistic-cultural practices, productions and epistemologies from the edges: voices and decolonial stakes of feminisms and sexual dissidences

    This symposium aims to make visible, analyze and reflect on border cultural practices and productions. In the geographic and symbolic borders stand identities and resistances of those “othernesses” built by colonialism and by that “western conscience”. In a decolonizing effort on the object-subject in artistic-cultural production, feminisms and sexual dissidences in the Ibero-American and diasporic space transform “the personal into the political” through artivist practices and the appropriation of public and virtual space, proposals from performance, manifesto, street art, literature, weaving, scenic arts and music, among other forms of expression that deconstruct the hegemonic vision.

    Women poets and the canon

    IV International Conference “Female Creations in Literary and Intercultural Education” (CICELI)

    In this fourth edition of the CICELI conference, we are paying special attention to women poets, their work and their controversial relationship with the canon, celebrating two fundamental milestones: the 90th anniversary of the groundbreaking inclusion of two Spanish women poets (Ernestina de Champourcin and Josefina de la Torre) in Gerardo Diego’s anthology Poesía Española (1934) and the 70th anniversary of the publication of Carmen Conde’s anthology Poesía femenina española viviente (1954).

    The native podcast: understanding its development, questioning its future

    Ce colloque international a vocation à interroger la place du podcast en France et en Europe. Pourquoi, alors qu’il ne présente pas une innovation de rupture majeure et qu’il existe depuis longtemps, le podcast s’est-il récemment développé aussi rapidement et aussi fortement ? Comment expliquer les ressorts et les enjeux sociaux, économiques, technologiques de ce succès et de ses ambivalences ?

    Housing: Global Crisis, Seeking justice

    The aim of this international conference orgnanised by the Collectif de recherche et d’action sur l’habitat (CRACH) is to think about the housing crisis in an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, using a variety of case studies to share knowledge and strategies for mobilization and struggle. Addressed as much to academic circles as to activist groups, this call aims to contribute to a collective reflection on the housing crisis and the capitalist logics that fuel it, resulting in an unprecedented increase in evictions and housing costs.

    Digital Methods and Fields

    Feminist Perspectives

    L’ambition de ce numéro thématique est d’interroger la façon dont le numérique, à la fois instrument, méthode, terrain et objet de recherche, renouvelle non seulement les méthodes et méthodologies des sciences sociales mais également ébranle le « système » du genre partant de l’idée que la science et les techniques qui la sous-tendent ne sont pas « pures ». Le calcul qui préside n’est pas neutre et les quantités de données massives collectées ne sauraient être gage d’objectivité. L’objectif de ce dossier consiste à se demander si la recherche féministe peut enrichir les méthodes numériques, favoriser des démarches plus inclusives, échapper aux biais de genre auxquelles s’exposent les méthodologies classiques, se soustraire à la binarité des dispositifs techniques et d’enquête, faire de l’identification de ces biais une source de réflexivité, rendre visible les paroles issues de minorités de genre et sexuelles dans le traitement des données.

    Beyond clichés: social-cultural representations and practices of polygamy across Sub-Saharan women’s creative works

    Seminar Series: Women in French Australia

    In this seminar we propose to re-centre various cultural representations arising from literature (oral and written), artistic mediums, media, music and cinema by Francophone Sub-Saharan women. Importantly, this seminar aims to go beyond the denunciation-celebration axis that has so far tinged many a study on polygamy in cultural representations from the continent to explore polygamy in all its forms, including unofficial extra-marital relations implying tacit acceptance of polygamy (Boni, 139), and modes of expression.

    The public use of subordinate writings in the early modern and modern periods

    We invite contributions dedicated to the dynamics of the re-signification of subaltern writings in public space in the early modern and modern period. Ordinary writings produced by subaltern actors (popular classes, men and women, childhood) in the transition from the private to the public sphere should therefore be investigated with particular attention to the spaces used, the practices adopted, the strategies of visibility (or obscuration) chosen, the appropriations by civil society, the policies of preservation of popular memory and the pedagogical- didactic use of writings.

    Tensions dans le genre

    This special issue of Cahiers d’études africaines looks at the production of knowledge on gender in sub-Saharan Africa. Researchers have observed an empirical tension between, on the one hand, persistent structural gender inequalities and, on the other, women’s significant economic autonomy, their strong presence in public space, and their considerable spatial mobility. This issue aims to bring together studies that rely on empirical materials to shed light on analytical tensions specific to research on gender dynamics in Africa.

    Is a woman a reader like any other ?

    Gender and reception in contemporary fictions

    How are female readers of fiction represented in contemporary literature? If female readers have long been associated with a form of vulnerability linked to the topos of the dangers of reading on the one hand, and with an eroticized vision of reading on the other, it is clear that the contemporary age is making an effort to change these images. The rise of feminist thought, reflections on gender, and the pragmatic turn of reception theories are all new critical inheritances that twist the literary representation of women, and that change its female readers. Figures like these thus give us the singular opportunity of thinking reading practices through the lens of gender.

    Medioevo e femminismi

    In the wake of Madeline Caviness's seminal article, what assessment can be made of the fertile links between the Middle Ages and feminism? In its wake, the next issue of Perspectives médiévales invites us to take a fresh look at the reciprocal contributions of medievalism and feminism, as part of an epistemological and historical reflection on the Middle Ages and the present. The aim of this issue is to explore contemporary feminisms by exploring the Middle Ages and their representations. In other words, in what way is the Middle Ages an object of investigation both for feminist thought and by feminist thought?
