Consolatio. Formes et enjeux de la consolation de l'Antiquité au 21e siècle

Aujourd’hui, la mission de consoler les personnes en souffrance est majoritairement dévolue à des professionnels du soin, des associations, quelquefois à la religion, le plus souvent aux exercices de développement personnel, dont certains se prétendent fondés sur l’enseignement des philosophes antiques. De fait, Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes pour modérer le chagrin suscité par les événements malheureux (décès, maladie, vieillesse, exil, injustice, etc.).

Seminar - History

Political, cultural and intellectual South-North circulations in the post-Bandung era: towards a connected history of the Commonwealth

By choosing to focus on South-North circulations, this seminar is dedicated to the deconstruction of the “British Empire” as a homogeneous category to write and think about the intellectual, artistic, and political histories of the people who circulate and inhabit this polity known as the Commonwealth of Nations in the post-Bandung era. Working from the assumption that committed artists, intellectuals and political activists from the Global South have networked and connected within this space, we seek to interrogate the counter-hegemonic nature of the knowledge, theories and artistic practices produced during the post-Bandung era.

La Guerre froide latino-américaine : dialogues globaux

Desde finales del siglo XX, las investigaciones sobre la Guerra Fría en Latinoamérica han adoptado un enfoque transnacional, centrado en redes que cruzan fronteras y actores no estatales. Estas investigaciones amplían el marco temporal, utilizando perspectivas más globales y basadas en fuentes de archivos latinoamericanos, con el fin de resaltar la agencia de los actores locales y alejarse del análisis bipolar tradicional. El objetivo del panel es visibilizar esta producción regional y establecer un diálogo con investigaciones de otras regiones, discutiendo metodologías, avances en el acceso a datos y la situación de los archivos en el continente.

Intimate Colonies: Family Memories of Colonial Africa in Belgium and Switzerland - Postdoctoral fellowship in Brussels

Le projet Intimate Colonies (IC) place la dimension intime et familiale de la question coloniale au cœur de son analyse, dans le but d’apporter des éclairages originaux sur les significations et les enjeux des héritages et des mémoires coloniales dans les sociétés européennes contemporaines. Le projet se distingue des travaux existants en réunissant, au sein d’un même cadre analytique, les mémoires coloniales des familles issues des sociétés colonisées et de celles associées aux sociétés colonisatrices, reflétant ainsi la réalité multiculturelle des sociétés européennes partagées par ces populations, plutôt que d’aborder un seul versant de ce système relationnel.

Métamorphoses de la littérature à l'ère de l'image : expériences ibériques et latino-américaines

Numéro thématique de la revue CECIL (Cahiers d’études des cultures ibériques et latino-américaines)

L'exploration des relations entre l’écriture et les images constitue une caractéristique essentielle des littératures de la péninsule ibérique et de l’Amérique latine depuis, au moins, les avant-gardes des premières décennies du XXe siècle. Ce processus ne se résume pas au renforcement de procédés et de figures déjà rencontrés dans les tendances littéraires antérieures, comme la métaphore ou l'allégorie, mais englobe la thématisation et l'incorporation d'images proprement dites dans les textes, surtout – mais pas exclusivement – celles rendues possibles par les nouvelles techniques de production et de reproduction apparues au XIXe siècle, comme la photographie et le cinéma.

الهجرة بين النظامي واللاّنظامي: مقاربات نظريّة وتجارب حياتيّة لظاهرة مركّبة

لئن شكّلت الهجرة محور نقاش عديد الملتقيات الفكرية والعلمية من مداخل نظرية متعدّدة وعبر مقاربات متنوعة، فإنّ زاوية نظر هذا الملتقى اختارت أن تنطلق من اعتبار الهجرة ظاهرة مثقلة بعديد الدلالات السوسيولوجية والايحاءات الفنيّة والثقافية لما في أبعادها من تداخل رمزي وجمالي وإنساني بشكل عام. وبناء عليه، فإنّ من دواعي تنظيم هذا الملتقى هو النظر إلى هذه الظاهرة من زوايا نظر جديدة) تأخذ بعين الاعتبار خصوصيّة الظاهرة وسياقها المحلي والعالمي بعيدا عن تلك التعميمات النظرية وبراديغمات التحليل الكلاسيكية التي اتخذت من التفسيرات الاجتماعية والمقاربات الاقتصادية والأمنية سبيلا إلى الفهم والتفسير.

In/Visible

The 2026 NECS Conference will tackle the processes through which invisibilization occurs, from pre-cinematographic apparatuses to contemporary screen and media industries, and how these dynamics concretely affect today’s professional landscapes. It will also consider how resisting and alternative spaces continue to redefine what can be seen, by whom, under what conditions, and how the gradual inclusion of new media and the reinvention of old ones have expanded – or restricted – the horizons of visibility.

This event aims to assess the current state of research on the identification of individuals in prehistoric archaeology, exploring methods to identify individuals from archaeological remains, whether lithic materials or other types of artifacts.

The Multiple and the One Assemblages and Decompositions in Medieval Texts and Images

Ce colloque souhaite interroger les modalités selon lesquelles le Moyen Âge a pensé, articulé et transformé le rapport entre multiplicité et unité. Les pratiques des auteurs, des scribes, des artistes, des commanditaires et des publics s’inscrivent dans un champ où la mise en forme du savoir, de la mémoire et de l’art passe constamment par des opérations d’assemblage, de sélection et de hiérarchisation. Nous réfléchirons à cette problématiques selon une perspective foncièrement interdisciplinaire.

Mémoires et agentivités aquatiques dans la littérature et les arts panhispaniques

Partiendo de la constatación de que el elemento acuático conlleva significados variados y a veces opuestos, mientras cristaliza retos memorísticos, políticos, éticos o estéticos, este congreso pretende suscitar una reflexión sobre la forma en que, en los discursos literarios y artísticos, el agua ofrece la posibilidad de repensar la relación del ser humano con el otro y con su entorno. Entre memoria y agentivida, ¿cómo refleja el agua la capacidad de los individuos y las comunidades humanas para articular discursos o actos de resistencia a través del arte ? ¿Las representaciones del agua —elemento dual— funcionan como símbolos de violencia o permiten imaginar otras formas de habitar el mundo ?

Sculpture and Trompe l'oeil in European Ceramics, from Bernard Palissy to the Present Day

The conference, dedicated to European ceramics, aims to address issues relating to figurative sculpture in the round, to relief sculpture and to trompe l'oeil, all in the medium of ceramics. This includes the imitation of other materials, such as wood or precious stones, and the mimetic representation of animals and plants. Sculpture and trompe l'oeil are recurring themes but have been little studied in a comprehensive manner in European ceramic art, not even in Art Deco ceramics, which frequently use sculptural forms, both in tableware and in purely decorative pieces.
