  The long history of the masculinisation of womenswear

  Journée d’étude Tailoring Identities

  Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif de revenir sur la transformation du vestiaire féminin du XV^e au XX^e siècle lorsqu’il emprunte à différents ressorts de mode masculine, ainsi que sur les pratiques de cross-dressing. Elle entend analyser comment l’art des tailleurs a accompagné la définition progressive d’une silhouette s’éloignant des apparences de la féminité normative, et examiner comment les emprunts au vestiaire masculin ont permis à des personnes en dissidence avec les normes de genre d’exprimer indépendance, résistance ou appartenance – de manière visible ou (quasiment) invisible. En se penchant sur l’intersection entre mode et identité(s), elle espère la variété des manières par lesquelles le vêtement a permis les expressions individuelles, mais aussi combien il a été, au-delà d’elles, un moyen de résistance et de négociation des normes sociales.

  The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension

  1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium

  The 1st Archipelagic Studies Symposium ‘The Island and the Archipelagic Dimension’ aims to reflect on issues of insularity and archipelagos in the conception of today's world, marked by environmental crises, new trends in human development and reinterpretations of place and its dynamics. Thinking about islands and archipelagos, in all their trans- and inter-material dimensions, equivalences and disparities, influences the conception not only of these discontinued worlds from their continental matrix (in some cases), but also of territories which are assumed to be outside the continent, with ontic possibilities of a truly archipelagic context.

  Étudier les polices au Moyen-Orient

  Penser les formes d’États du VIIIe siècle à nos jours

  Le Moyen-Orient est longtemps resté le parent pauvre des travaux de sciences sociales consacrés à la police. Cette marginalisation n’est pas propre au monde arabe. La France a elle-même investi tardivement ce champ de recherche, privilégiant l’analyse de ceux qui subissent la répression plutôt que ses commanditaires et exécutants. Pour saisir les dynamiques de construction de l’ordre public et les relations États-société dans le Proche Orient, nous proposons de décentrer le regard en partant de l’appareil répressif et en privilégiant une perspective diachronique.

  Gender and Money

  Historical Workshop

  Le contrôle et l'utilisation de l'argent sont clairement identifiés comme une question de genre dans les sociétés contemporaines. Pourtant, l'argent en lui-même - sa gestion et son contrôle, la manière dont il peut servir d'outil de domination ou de levier d'action, la question de savoir qui le possède et qui le contrôle - a rarement été posée comme une question historique indépendante sur le long terme. Cet atelier de recherche sur deux jours propose une premier jalon de réflexion sur cette question. Il rassemble des historiennes de l'époque médiévale au très contemporain dans des panels consacrés au patrimoine, aux réseaux de crédits, à la comptabilité quotidienne, aux mobilisations politiques.

  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?

  Appropriating international spaces and professions

  European women and feminists in the 20th century

  The workshop focuses on the intersections between the history of international relations, European studies and women's and gender history. Since the early 21^st century, historiography on international relations and European integration has undergone profound transformations, enabling the integration of a gender perspective. However, writing a history of European and international relations from a female perspective and integrating a gender perspective into these scientific fields remains a challenge. Therefore, the aim of this workshop is to take stock of approaches at the crossroads of the study of international relations, European integration, gender and feminism. It will provide a forum for debate on recent empirical work and work in progress.

  Attractiveness and mobility networks: seducing, welcoming and integrating

  As part of the study day "Attractiveness and Mobility Networks," PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars are invited to explore the dynamics of attractiveness in individual and collective mobilities, from the Bronze Age to the modern era. The event focuses on the legal, political, and social mechanisms implemented to attract, welcome, and integrate individuals into networks. It also examines the formal and informal circulation of information, as well as the processes of community clustering. Particular attention will be given to both the successes and failures of these mechanisms of attractiveness.

  French archaeology archives abroad : what collaborations?

  "Interdisciplinarity is part of the very definition of archaeology. To interpret their data, archaeologists need others. They are not alone, but they know this and embrace it." While interdisciplinary collaboration is indeed necessary and commonplace for the interpretation of archaeological data, the same is not true for their management and preservation according to archival principles. However, collaboration with archivists is essential during and after research programs to ensure the proper preservation of data throughout their life cycle and to build future archival heritage.

  French in Contact and in Context(s): Linguistic and Didactic Perspectives

  Contextes et Didactiques n° 26, 2025

  This issue 26 of the journal Contextes et Didactiques is a follow-up to the 3rd International Colloquium of the Observatoire des Pratiques Langagières Actuelles (OPLA), which took place on 15 April 2025 at the University of the West Indies and on 29 April 2025 at the University of Geneva. The aim of the OPLA project, to be implemented in 2022, is to provide information on the current social and cultural situation of French speakers through the prism of their language practices. It also aims to contribute to the development of French language teaching practices that are more consistent with the realities of language as perceived by learners, teachers and trainers. In this context, a number of conferences and symposia have been held to showcase the progress of the work and to put it in dialogue with others working on the same issues. This issue 26 highlights the results of the discussions at the most recent colloquium.

  The making of education in the South

  RIED 261

  This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).
