    Desires in the Art Worlds

    Tensions, Dynamics, and Reconfigurations

    This conference explores the multiple dimensions of desire in contemporary art worlds, examining its forms, tensions, and implications. It aims to rethink the role of desire as a driving force of creation, the artist’s condition in the face of inequalities and violence, the place of desire in artistic work, the norms that shape desired or excluded bodies, and the practices that seek to frame or regulate these dynamics. By engaging with these perspectives, the conference invites participants to reflect on the relevance of desire as an interpretative key and to envision new representations for art and its actors.

    Didactique de la lecture et de l’écriture littéraires. Pour une réconciliation de l’apprenant lecteur-scripteur avec la littérature

    Depuis trois décennies, on assiste à une montée en puissance des recherches en didactique de la littérature. Bien qu'elle soit une discipline encore jeune et un lieu de débats récurrents, la didactique de la littérature ne cesse de gagner en reconnaissance dans les milieux de recherche en se penchant davantage sur les pratiques des enseignants et des apprenants. Dans ce contexte, le but de ce colloque sera de fournir aux enseignants de français une aide à l'ensiegnement-apprentissage de la littérature dans ses volets réceptif et productif à travers des dispositifs d'enseignement et de formation initiale et continue inspirés des pistes explorées aujourd'hui par les didacticiens de la littérature.

    Migration in Belgium: Epistemological issues, History, Public action and Mobilisations

    This study day aims to bring together researchers from different social science disciplines (anthropology, law, economics, geography, history, philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, etc.) working on migration issues in Belgium. In a context where migration phenomena are regularly at the forefront of political and media news (“reception crisis”, border management and control, citizen mobilisations, etc.), the aim of this study day is, on the one hand, to review the progress of research in the various social science disciplines in this field, and, on the other hand, to refine academic analyses through a multidisciplinary dialogue. This meeting thus intends to contribute to a better understanding of the migration phenomenon in Belgium.

    European Space Agency's Space History Conference

    There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

    Francis I and the Artists of the North (1515-1547)

    As an extention of the events of 2015 celebrating the 500th anniversary of the accession of Francis I (1 January 1515) and the victory at Marignan (13-14 September 1515), the symposium will focus on the ties between the "grand roy Françoys" and the North. Whereas the exchanges between Francis I and Italy have attracted much attention, the King’s relations with the old Southern Netherlands, as rich and complex, have not been carefully studied. The symposium "Francis I and Artists of the North (1515-1547)" aims to fill this gap by considering the interest of the King of France in artists and musicians from the old Southern Netherlands and their works.

    Renovatio, inventio, absentia imperii

    From the Roman Empire to Contemporary Imperialism

    At the heart of the present conference will be the ‘reception’, ‘Nachleben’ or ‘permanence’ of the Roman Empire, of an idea and a historical paradigm which since Classical Antiquity has supported the most widespread claims to obtain and consolidate power. The focus will be on ‘culture’, this latter concept intended in a broad sense, i.e. including not only the arts, architecture, literature etc., but also philosophy, religion and, most importantly, discourse. As such, a wide array of themes will be subjected to academic scrutiny. Whereas the main focus will be on Europe and North America, this conference will also reach out towards non-Western contexts, whether or not directly related to the Roman example.
