Alternance politique, continuité administrative ?

Contribution à une sociologie politique de l’inertie des politiques publiques

The conference aims to question the effects of the political field logics on public policies. To do so, it will focus on the analysis of political changeovers, considered as moments of institutionalized and regular crisis, which are particularly conducive to questioning the impact of political competition on public policies. Multi-level analyses and international comparisons will be welcome, especially the case of revolutionary outcomes and authoritarian regimes.

The visionary drawing and its knowledge

Portraits and faces

The workshop suggests to reflect on the transformations of the portrait and on the representation of the face in the visionary drawing of the 19^th and 20^th century. Associated with the research programme on the written and drawn archives of Théophile Bra (1797-1863) and supported by the University of Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Studies – USIAS, it aspires to open up the approach to the visionary drawing in order to comprehend its participation in epistemological and philosophical changes of modern times. It seeks to renew the methods of art history by including the history of science and of knowledge about the psyche, medicine and philosophy, which will encourage – beyond the definition of a visual culture – a reflection on the creativity they have in common in terms of images and graphic processes.

The Myth of Pentecost: literature, translation, theory, arts

While there are countless studies devoted to the readings, representations and interpretations of the biblical myth of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9), the rival narrative of the “miracle” of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) and its reception have received much less attention. This applies both to the exegesis of the Bible text and to its various adaptations in literature, art, theory and translate on studies. While the myth of Babel has generally given rise to pessimistic conceptions of linguistic diversity, the episode of the “tongues of fire” descending on the Apostles, transforming them into universal translators-interpreters, capable of speaking and being heard in languages they have not learned, suggests a different vision of multilingualism, language, meaning, or translatability.

Political education: citizenship, moral training and teaching of religion

International approaches (19th-21st centuries)

Major international surveys such as the ICCS survey of the IEA (International Association of the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) or that of the European network Eurydice have been devoted to citizenship learning at school from a comparative perspective, but they have shown little interest in non-school actors or in the relations of these actors with education. Moreover, they only marginally address the relationship between citizenship learning, moral education, religious education or teaching about religions. It is these relationships that the conference aims to shed light on by exploring the institutional, professional, epistemological and political issues at stake in public educational, not only in official texts, but at every level.

Knowledge productions and their diffusion in Protohistoric societies: comparative and multidisciplinary approaches

This international symposium brings together transdisciplinary researchers in order to renew the outlook on European Protohistory. Protohistoric societies having left few texts, can sites or artefacts tell us about the immaterial production of knowledge? Recent researches on comparatism, in archaeoastronomy, ethnomathematics, paleopathology or bioarchaeology, show that these societies produced knowledge and transmitted it, raising the question of the exchange of this knowledge and technologies. The texts produced by the contemporaries of the Celts show a complex and codified culture, corroborated by the found artefacts. Our gaze must therefore depart from a disciplinary compartmentalization, researches combining archaeology, astronomy, artificial intelligence, mathematics, provide interesting answers on this question.

Reading the soil in archaeology: field practice and interdisciplinary perspectives

Soil features have been at the heart of archaeological questioning for several years, stimulated in particular by the work carried out in preventive archaeology. Their identification, particularly in the field, remains a source of new data and new approaches. Their interpretation is becoming an indispensable step in the archaeological research and can, for certain periods, play a central role. The symposium aims to promote the interdisciplinary reading of the soil component in field archaeology, relying in particular on the contribution of earth sciences in general.

Call for papers - Representation

Max Liebermann and Italy in the context of German-Italian artistic exchange from the 1860s to the 1930s

Although Liebermann often travelled to the Netherlands and considered it his “adopted homeland”, Italy also played an important role in his artistic development. Between 1878 and 1913 the painter made at least six journeys there, established contacts with Italian artists and critics and took part in international art exhibitions. His works also found their way into Italian collections. This conference seeks to investigate German-Italian artistic exchange more broadly between the 1860s and the 1930s. and aims to highlight German-Italian cultural exchange by looking at other contemporary personalities.

The Figure of the Multilingual Child in Literature

Call fot an edited volume

This edited volume aims to extend the findings of the conference "The Figure of the Multilingual Child in Literature". This edited volume aims at analysing child narrators and/or figures evolving in and between several languages – either because they speak at least two languages, or because their family, school or country is made up of a web of languages. These child figures can be autobiographical or autofictional shadows of the author. They can also be pure beings of paper. In all these cases, their identity is made of a fabric woven of all their languages, whether they are acquired simultaneously or successively, within the otherness of their monolingual fellow creatures.

Political education: citizenship, moral training and teaching of religion

International approaches (19th-21st centuries)

In a comparative international perspective, the conference aims to study formal and informal educational policies and practices in the field of political education with a focus on the relationships (institutional, epistemological, pedagogical, professional) between citizen training, moral education and the teaching of religions (denominational or interdenominational perspectives) or of religious facts (secular approaches).

Fourth Joseph Déchelette European Archaeology Prize

The internationally renowned archaeologist Joseph Déchelette (1862-1914) was one of the founders of European protohistoric archaeology. The Association Joseph Déchelette, founded in 2010 by his great nephew Édouard Déchelette(†), would like to keep the memory of this great scholar alive and promote this discipline. It has therefore teamed up with various partners to establish the Prix Joseph Déchelette with a view to promoting the PhD research of a young archaeologist.

Learning assessment in relation to both national and foreign languages and culture

Electronic journal “Verbum et Lingua” of the University of Guadalajara

Verbum et Lingua: Didáctica, Lengua y Cultura welcomes submissions for its special July 2022 issue on learning assessment in relation to both national and foreign languages and cultures. This complex area of knowledge, characterized by a plurality of approaches, tries to respond to different contexts, needs and realities. With the publication of language reference frameworks for the teaching, learning and assessment of languages and cultures, such as the European Common Framework (CEFR) and American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL), a new vision of assessment following strictly defined guidelines has been enacted. At present, research in this field has been carried out within institutional frameworks. However, reconceptualization in the assessment of language learning positions it in much more complex contexts as it takes into account technological distance and hybrid teaching tools.

Leseträume. Lesen als Traum im 18. Jahrhundert

Au XVIII^e siècle, on lit plus que jamais ; on thématise et problématise à maintes reprises la lecture. Lire, et en particulier lire des romans, est particulièrement rapproché du rêve. Le colloque Rêves de lectures. Lire et rêver au XVIII^e siècle sonde les nombreux liens entre lecture et rêve sous leurs multiples aspects, au moyen de différents types de sources : écrits personnels (ou transcriptions de rêves), sources littéraires, normatives, autobiographiques, journalistiques, ou images. Il s’attache à des rêves de lectures aussi bien « authentiques » que fictifs.

Islam in popular culture: reconfigurations and new visibilities

13th Franco-Romanists conference

Les formes et les dynamiques de la perception et de la représentation de l’islam en France ont fait l’objet d’un intérêt scientifique accru depuis le début des années 1990. L’analyse des pratiques de contrôle et de marginalisation de la religiosité musulmane, ainsi que ses généalogies coloniales, se sont imposées comme un champ de recherche vivant et prolifique dans les études françaises. En revanche, beaucoup moins d’attention a été accordée au phénomène parallèle d’un islam qui trouve progressivement sa place dans la culture populaire. Dans le cadre du treizième congrès des francoromanistes de Vienne, une réflexion conjointe sera structurée autour des représentations populaires de l’islam en France et dans le monde francophone, des nouvelles formes d’expressions de l’islam dans la culture populaire, des espaces virtuels de religiosité musulmane, des discours anti-hégémoniques sur le genre et des discours récents sur le voile et le dévoilement.

Legal chronicles and memory of Nazism

Little known nazi criminals in the spotlight, part 2: the 2000-2010s

Cette journée d’étude s’inscrit dans un projet interdisciplinaire de l’université Bourgogne-Franche-Comté visant à analyser l’impact des procès de criminels nazis peu connus du grand public sur la transmission de la mémoire du nazisme en France, en Allemagne et ailleurs à partir de la chronique judiciaire (comptes rendus dans la presse, la radio, la télévision et sur internet). Le projet est centré sur deux moments peu investis par la recherche, les années 1950 (volet 1) et les années 2000 et 2010 (volet 2).

The multilingual city, c. 1250 – c. 1800

Historical approaches

Cities are multilingual, but histories of the premodern city too rarely think in detail about the workings of language in urban communities and environments. At the same time, the social history of language has rarely taken into account the spatial dimension of multilingualism in the past. As a centre of political, cultural, and intellectual life, as well as a site of cultural exchange, the city has long been a place of linguistic encounter and of language change, as historical sociolinguists have shown. This workshop will bring historians together to consider multilingualism as a social fact, and to explore the relationship between multilingualism and the development of the premodern city.

Conference, symposium - Thought

Mass and individual in capital modernity

The notion of the “mass” is back on the agenda. Recent large-scale popular protests, the extraordinary importance acquired by social networks, the current appeal of conspiracy theories, as well as so-called “populist” phenomena, have triggered a renewed discussion around this concept. Since its emergence at the beginning of capitalist modernity, the idea of the 'mass' has implied a certain reactionary conception of collective action, according to which the individual's judgment capacity is eclipsed by irrational behavior. The First World War and the rise of fascism apparently brought to reality this representation: the individual, weakened by social atomization, succumbed to a tyrannized mass.

Critical theories and the challenge of interdisciplinarity

Ces deux journées d’étude visent à mettre en lumière les travaux en cours de doctorant-e-s et jeunes docteur-e-s allemand-e-s et français-e-s travaillant sur la théorie critique d’un point de vue philosophique mais dans une perspective interdisciplinaire. L’interdisciplinarité est, désormais, sur toutes les lèvres. Mais elle est la plupart du temps évoquée dans un cadre particulier qui ne dit pas son nom : celui du processus de Bologne et de la restructuration néolibérale des universités européennes. Contre ce type d’interdisciplinarité qui se pense en tant qu’accumulation de différents savoirs sans se soucier de la manière de les articuler, nous nous posons la question suivante : comment penser aujourd’hui, grâce à la théorie critique, une interdisciplinarité et pluridisciplinarité qui ne soit pas un flatus vocis formaliste, mais dont l’approche inter- et pluridisciplinaire permet l’esquisse d’une théorie sociale contemporaine véritablement critique ?

Between admiration and rejection: the perception of French art by foreigners at the turn of the 17th and 18th century

À l’époque du Roi Soleil, la France s’est progressivement imposée comme l’un des arbitres incontournables des « tendances » culturelles en Europe. Quelle fut la réaction des Allemands face à cette situation ? Notre colloque se concentrera sur les voyageurs et sur leur rôle majeur en tant que médiateurs culturels. L’ambivalence de la perception de l’art français par les étrangers, entre admiration et rejet, sera évaluée en termes tant quantitatifs que qualitatifs, et illustrée par des exemples concrets. Ce colloque international réunit des spécialistes de France, d’Allemagne, d’Autriche, des Pays-Bas et de Belgique. L’éventail des méthodes d’analyse va des études comparatives à l’étude de réseaux. Nous proposons de faire un bilan d’étape dans le domaine de la recherche sur les échanges culturels franco-allemands et de présenter les recherches innovantes dans ce domaine.
