Conference, symposium - Representation

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.

Medieval Friendships

Questes Seminar

Le séminaire de Questes, groupe de jeunes chercheurs médiévistes, prend pour thématique cette année les amitiés médiévales. Nous nous intéresserons autant aux théorisations philosophiques et théologiques de l’amitié au Moyen Âge qu'aux façons dont les médiévaux pratiquaient l’amitié et la réprésentaient dans les arts (littératures, arts graphiques, arts textiles, sculpture...).

Economy of leftovers and recycling

Social, political and environmental dynamics in the Global South

Economies built around waste – rubbish, unsold goods, surplus, scrap, used materials – are becoming increasingly important in the Global South. This issue therefore aims to examine these forms of economic activity from three main perspectives: environmental, socio-economic and political. The objective is to bring together empirical and theoretical work that documents, compares and problematises these waste economies based on surveys conducted in Southern countries, while taking into account the circulation and cross-influences with Northern countries. These ‘waste products’ can take various forms, which the issue intends to consider in an open and pluralistic perspective.

Smart cities: technological innovation and sustainable urban development

Le concept de ville intelligente s’impose progressivement comme un paradigme essentiel dans la réflexion et la planification urbaines contemporaines. Comment les concepts de ville intelligente peuvent-ils être adaptés aux réalités socio-économiques, culturelles et infrastructurelles des villes camerounaises et africaines, y compris les établissements informels et les économies mixtes formelles-informelles ? Quels sont les risques d'exclusion numérique et de renforcement des inégalités socio-spatiales ? Voilà les dimensions non exhaustives qui pourraient meubler les communications attendues dans le cadre de cette journée scientifique.

Graphic Gastronomy

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.

Misopedia in contemporary arts and literature

Misopedia III

Pour ce troisième colloque sur la misopédie, nous aborderons les représentations artistiques des relations d’âge incluant les plus jeunes. Films, téléfilms, romans, pièces de théâtre, musiques populaires, chorégraphies, etc. jouent un rôle fondamental et colossal dans la transmission de repères intersubjectifs et institutionnels misopèdes ou, au contraire, enfantistes. Pour ce troisième colloque, comme pour les deux précédents, on se concentrera sur la période contemporaine. La nécessité d’une approche intersectionnelle enfantiste et éco-enfantiste est patente pour le monde de la recherche.

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.

Intercultural Communication in the Era of Innovation and Artificial Intelligence

Practices, Challenges, and Perspectives

This conference proposes an in-depth reflection on practices, mechanisms, and issues related to intercultural communication, diversity training, organizational transformation, and the impact of emerging technologies—particularly artificial intelligence. These profound shifts call for rethinking communication methods, managerial practices, and learning processes in order to promote agility, cohesion, and collective performance. From this perspective, thinking globally means articulating often disconnected dimensions to better understand the complexity of contemporary human and organizational interactions.

Art, matière et environnement (1848-1927)

« 48-14. La nouvelle revue scientifique des musées d’Orsay et de l’Orangerie », 2, 2027

A call for contributions has been issued for the preparation of the second issue of the journal 48-14. La nouvelle revue scientifique des musées d'Orsay et de l'Orangerie, to be published in 2027, which will be devoted to the relationships between art, material, and environment at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Researchers are invited to propose studies that, focusing on specific objects, explore the various ways in which artists conceive the relationship between material and environment—whether contributing to the construction of the opposition between nature and culture or, on the contrary, challenging it.

Marble and sculpture

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.

Architecture has a Soil Problem

Clara Journal, thematic issue, no. 13

From the digging of foundations to the sealing of surfaces, architectural practice typically treats soil as ‘dirt’—as matter out of place — an interchangeable substance devoid of specificity, meaning, or vitality. Soils are too often reduced to a passive background for human activity, an empty canvas to build upon rather than a living milieu to design with, within or through. This ignorance indirectly contributes to their depletion and demise. What would it mean to resist this thanatological path and instead reconceptualize both soil and architecture through their entanglements, in relation to the pedogenetic processes they co-produce ?

The Incarnate Secret: The Human Body Between Medicine and Secret Sciences

Revue Arcana Naturae, n°8 (2027)

From the Renaissance up to the thresholds of the 20th century, the human body was never a simple biological object, but a genuine “incarnate secret” and a conceptual nexus at the crossroads of scientific knowledge and occult lore. The body has often been perceived as the greatest of Nature’s secrets. For centuries, the inquiry into the body represented a battlefield and a point of collaboration between disciplines. Particular attention will be paid to the body-as-sign (between manifestation and dissimulation), the body-as-medium (a laboratory for occult forces), and the body-as-science (corporeal epistemology and knowledge

How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?

Dans quelles mesures l’histoire de ces territoires intrinsèquement liée à la question de la migration peut-elle ou non avoir un impact sur les manières de percevoir et de vivre l’installation d’exilé·es, voire de campements d’exilé·es en leur sein ? Le passé migratoire conduit-il à s’identifier à ces nouveaux-elles venus-es, à éprouver pour eux-elles de l’empathie voire à leur venir en aide ?

La refondation de l’État, une nécessité aux variables multiples depuis l’Antiquité

Autour de la contemplation de l’œuvre du Pr. Hugues Mouckaga

L’enjeu de ce colloque est de s’interroger sur la nécessité d’une refondation de l’État et sur de potentiels éléments pouvant permettre sa réorganisation profonde et systématique. Il entend croiser les approches historiques, sociologiques, juridiques, philosophiques et politiques pour mieux comprendre les logiques, les temporalités et les justifications qui accompagnent la restructuration des États dans le long terme.

1027 – 2027 : The World in which William was Born

The world in which William the Conqueror was born in 1027 was shaped by intertwining relationships and dynamics. The conference, to be held from 9 to 13 June 2027 in Caen and at the Centre culturel de Cerisy-la-Salle, will draw on the methods and approaches of “connected history”, which aims to link national and regional histories. It will focus on mobility, connections and transfers between human groups. Taking a global approach, it will bring together specialists from different countries and disciplines (history, art history, archaeology, philology, etc.).
