In the light of diversity: art, culture, public policy and the digital world
The 2nd International Seminar will focus particularly on culture and diversity, as well as the ways in which the principles of equality are being undermined. The title refers directly to Martin Luther King’s vision of true equality, as expressed in his famous 1963 speech, ‘I Have a Dream’, which called for an end to racial discrimination, by choosing the words and wishes of union. The research highlights the importance of combatting xenophobia and hate speech directed at migrants, refugees, the Romani-Gypsy community, and cultural minorities.

Élites femeninas secundarias en la trama sociopolítica (Castilla y Navarra, siglos X-XV): agencia o subordinación
La journée propose une réflexion collective sur la place, le rôle et la visibilité des élites féminines secondaires dans la trame sociopolitique des royaumes de Castille et de Navarre entre le XIIIe et le XVe siècle. En croisant les approches historiques, philologiques et culturelles, cette rencontre vise à questionner les formes d’agence et de subordination des femmes dans les structures de pouvoir médiévales, et à contribuer à une ligne de recherche internationale en études médiévales et de genre.

Associationism: history, practices and legacies (19th–21st centuries)
Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal Nº 27
This dossier aims to bring together original scholarly contributions that deepen our understanding of associationism in its multiple dimensions, privileging approaches that combine methodological rigour with empirical and analytical breadth. Proposals may be based on specific case studies or comparative analyses and should critically engage with the nature of associationism and its impact on contemporary societies. Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.

Decolonial Comparative Law and the Informal/Formal Economy
In May 2027, the DeCoLa programme at the Max Planck Institute for Comparative and International Private Law will host the fourth edition of its Decolonial Comparative Law Workshop series in Cameroon. Organised in partnership with the Fondation Afric’Avenir, this edition seeks to rethink the divide between the formal and informal economy through a decolonial comparative legal approach. It also aims to contribute to the consolidation of a decolonial comparative law community across the African continent and beyond.

Cycle of conferences on post-colonial studies from Latin America
This first edition of the Conference Series on Postcolonial Studies from Latin America — conducted in collaboration with the Department of Languages — arose from a particular concern: what does it mean to engage with Latin American thought from France? In an article that also serves as a statement of position, historian Serge Gruzinski attempts to answer this question: France is a place where it is possible to seek a new conception of the relationship between Europe and America, far from the reductions that certain intellectual traditions—notably American postcolonial studies—have made of Latin America.

Engagements, acteurs et agentivité dans les communismes en Espagne au XXe siècle
Afin de contribuer aux développements historiographiques et d’établir des ponts entre les recherches des deux côtés des Pyrénées, cet appel à communications invite les jeunes chercheurs et chercheuses à présenter leurs travaux sur les communismes en Espagne — ou sur leur projection et leurs connexions internationales — tout au long du XXe siècle, en se focalisant sur les trajectoires, les expériences, les engagements, les biographies et les formes d’agence de leurs acteurs. La journée d’études se tiendra à Paris le 28 mai 2026.

The Social Life of Names and Naming Practices in the Context of Migration
Names are not mere labels but powerful tools through which people assert identity, are categorised, and negotiate relationships with states, institutions and communities. Whether they refer to people, places or businesses, names do things : they index belonging and difference, tell stories, record histories of mobility and settlement, and mediate social interaction. This topical collection uses names and naming practices to trace the reconfigurations that accompany migration.

Minority Uses of the Past and Dynamics of Power in the Americas (19th–21st Centuries)
This conference follows on from an initial meeting, which focused on the forms of uses of the past, to examine the consequences of these uses and their results, both on national history and on minorities, as well as on disciplines and their methods. Researchers from different disciplines are invited to reflect on the same subjects from the perspective of their methods: anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, historians, specialists in literary studies, cultural studies, art historians, and linguists. The following four themes may guide proposals for papers.

Democracy at University: Voicing Choices
In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection. As a space for academic and civic education, for the transmission of knowledge and collective experimentation, it also constitutes a laboratory for democratic practices.

This conference aims to map medievalism (the field relating to the scholarly and creative reception of the “Middle Ages”) in Europe and around the world. In recent years, which subjects have been the focus of medievalist studies ? In which institutions (universities, research centers)?

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.

Social Control and Health Issues: The Role of «Sanitary Policing»
« Amnis », revue d’études des sociétés et cultures contemporaines Europe-Amérique
This call for papers for Amnis Journal invites researchers to reflect specifically on social control – in its broadest interpretation – with regard to health issues. The focus for this call for papers is on the period between the 19th and the 21st centuries on the European and American continents. Comparisons with colonial areas, which are often true laboratories for social and health control policies, and with previous situations will also be accepted.

Speculative narratives from the margins
Social alternatives, decolonial ecologies, and critical knowledge
Choosing the margins as the main focus of this conference will help to examine how speculative fiction disrupts hegemonic narratives, bringing to light subaltern or minoritised modes of knowledge, temporality, and resistance; how it operates somewhere between the end of the world and the possibility of a new beginning to allow us to imagine other ways of inhabiting the Earth and of projecting ourselves collectively into the future. Proposals exploring these issues through the study of narrative processes, cultural appropriations, andintertextual circulations, will be welcome.

How do children engage in ritualised daily practices and rituals?
Ce colloque interdisciplinaire a pour thème les processus et expériences de transmission et d’apprentissage des savoirs et des compétences aux et par les enfants, sans présumer a priori des limites de l’enfance. Le questionnement central qui orientera les discussions concerne la façon dont, au sein de divers cadres socialisateurs, des contextes ritualisés – séculiers ou religieux – constituent le support d’intégration et de transformation de connaissances, modes de pensée, normes et valeurs, savoir-faire et attitudes.

La gloria de los tatarabuelos/as
Memoria, linaje y ley Memoria, linaje y ley en el proceso de legitimación en el proceso de legitimación de la monarquía de Castilla (siglos XII a XIV)
Ce colloque international se propose d’explorer la mémoire familiale et les procédés de légitimation mis en place par les monarques castillans et leur entourage entre le XIIe et le XIVe siècles, en interrogeant les raisons et les modalités de la promotion, par les rois et les reines, de représentations d’ordre juridique et/ou symbolique en lien avec l’héritage des aïeux. La réflexion portera sur le fonctionnement et la puissance des mécanismes qui fondent la légitimité du pouvoir et le rendent acceptable et efficient.

Uses of the Past: Minority Experiences in Action in the Americas
Depuis le début du 21ème siècle, les Amériques connaissent un moment mémoriel particulièrement investi par les groupes dont l’histoire a été invisibilisée. Ils portent, dans l’espace public, contestations, demandes de reconnaissance, voire de réparation. Ce colloque engage une réflexion sur les usages du passé lorsqu’ils sont mobilisés par des membres de minorités ethnoraciales, qu’il s’agisse de contester une histoire nationale, de chercher à s’y inclure ou d’écrire une histoire de la minorité.

Récits pour enfants sous le franquisme
Littérature, médias et sources primaires enfantines (1939-1975)
Comment la répression des enfants sous le franquisme émerge-t-elle à travers les récits ? Comment se traduit-elle dans les narrations pour enfants écrites ou orales, littéraires ou iconographiques, censurées ou non ? Lors de cette journée d’études, nous proposons d’interroger les récits écrits pour les enfants sous le franquisme depuis des méthodologies variées, qui peuvent se croiser.

Precarious housing in the Global South
Public interventions and residents' expériences
This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Conference, symposium - History
Cinquante ans après la mort du dictateur Francisco Franco, les Universités d’Alicante, Champollion (campus d’Albi), Autonome de Barcelone, Carlos III de Madrid, UNED, et la Fondation Francisco Largo Caballero organisent un symposium international qui se tiendra les 20 et 21 novembre à Alicante, puis à Albi les 26 et 27 novembre. Pendant quatre jours, dix-sept spécialistes se pencheront sur les mouvements politiques, syndicaux, sociaux et culturels qui ont œuvré pour une Espagne démocratique et pleinement intégrée à l’Europe occidentale. Notre objectif est d’établir un bilan et en même temps d’ouvrir de nouvelles perspectives sur l’ensemble de ces mouvements ayant accompagné l’Espagne clandestine qui, soutenue par l’Espagne exilée en France, posa les premières pierres de la nouvelle démocratie espagnole.
