Mountain Infrastructure and Its Vulnerabilities: Design, Governance and Repurposing
“Journal of Alpine Research”
This thematic issue on mountain infrastructure is dedicated to exploring the planned structures and facilities that ensure the long-term accessibility, habitability and economic activity of mountain regions. These infrastructure assets have both a physical and technical materiality (in relation to the practices of the actors who use and/or manage them, and playing a central role in operational issues) and an economic existence (in terms of their management and finance). They therefore need to be approached both through the lens of the sociotechnical and economic systems of which they are a part, and from the perspective of their environmental, political and historical dimensions.

Perspectives from the Social Sciences and Humanities
This thematic issue explores the role of photography in social science research methods from the late 19th century to the present, with an ethnographic focus on the processes of production and co-production of fieldwork data. Whilst the intertwining of the medium with the renewal of modes of scientific observation and gaze in the 19th and 20th centuries is now well established, the past and current development of visual practices at the intersection of the social sciences and photography has, for its part, been explored more recently. Building on these works, this issue aims to follow the long-term evolution of ethnographic research methods involving and/or using photography, as well as the gradual development of its contemporary forms. What constitutes a (photographic) inquiry, and for whom? What roles do fieldworkers, ethnographer-photographers, and the institutions that oversee and commission inquiries play in it?

To celebrate the centenary of the Prague Linguistic Circle, an international conference is being held at INALCO. Focusing on the relationships between language, norm and society, the conference will build on the Prague theoretical tradition while engaging with contemporary research in sociolinguistics, glottopolitics, language teaching, language contact, variation and typology. The aim is to examine how these notions have evolved since their initial formulation, and to evaluate their continued relevance in the context of contemporary linguistic studies.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
In a context where Africa aspires to free itself from the vestiges of colonization and all other forms of cultural domination, in order to assert itself as an autonomous and self-referential power, the question arises as to what date could be chosen for the celebration of the African New Year, similar to that of other peoples of the world such as the Chinese, Europeans, Israelis, Iranians, and so on, who celebrate their New Year distinctly. However, this date must necessarily be based on a scientifically developed calendar that withstands the vagaries of time. It is for all these reasons that the Togolese Government proposes to organize an international symposium on the theme: “Establishment of an endogenous calendar and celebration of the African New Year: contemporary challenges of African unity, between history and identity”.

Patching up. Intermediality. History and Theory of the Arts, Literature, and Technologies
Revue « Intermédialités », n° 50 (Automne 2027)
Patching up means adding pieces—patches—to maintain, repair, and extend the life of something; at times, it goes beyond simply filling a gap to become a creative act. We start from the premise that objects and infrastructures, like bodies and communities, can be patched up—and that what is patched up is never quite “as it was before.” Its appearance, function, and meaning may shift; the pieces themselves are redefined by what they join. Patching up is therefore less about restoring a previous state than about producing something that did not exist before: a different object, a new reality. This creative, poietic, and performative dimension lies at the heart of this issue, which seeks to explore both the material act of patching up and the political gestures and worldviews that accompany it.

Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology
Digitization of Scholarly Knowledge through the Prism of Research Practices
Memories, Uses and Critical Issues
Organized within the CollEx-Persée Digitization program, this conference invites critical, collective and interdisciplinary reflection on the transformations induced by digitization in research practices and scholarly uses. How do choices of corpora, tools or formats shape research practices? What kind of memory of science is thus produced, made visible, or, on the contrary, devalued? What mechanisms—existing or in development—can ensure that the digitization of academic literature effectively supports research practices, whether traditional or emerging?

Créativité et hétérogénéité langagière dans les pratiques d'écriture du quotidien
Deuxièmes journées d'étude des pratiques sociales de l'écrit
Pursuing the dialogue opened by Michel Dabène that helped bring to the fore more than thirty years ago the need to move beyond the dichotomy between “literary writing” and “ordinary writing.” Since writing is a staging of language, writing practices always reflect an “attention, never entirely absent but more or less acute, to the different levels of the elaboration of the written object (materiality, spelling, lexicon, syntax, textual organization) and by a submission, never totally absent but more or less assumed, to the (linguistic and social) norms that govern these different levels”.

Call for papers - Science studies
This symposium is a direct extension of the “Fiction & Social Sciences” meeting organized in May 2024, dedicated to contemporary articulations between fiction devices and social science methodologies. The exchanges initiated on this occasion made it possible to deepen already long-standing reflections on the relationships of competition, tension, but also complementarity between academic and fictional writing, paying particular attention to emerging practices such as fictional investigation. The central challenge was to analyze how the hybridization between the documentary and fictional genres shifts the ways of investigating, writing and reproducing research results.

Many cultures express devotion toward objects that appear remarkably similar: footprints in stone said to have been left by celestial figures. This workshop, organized at the University of Neuchâtel on October 22–23, 2026, aims to move beyond this impression of déjà vu and to highlight the specific characteristics of devotional practices associated with such traces in Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, from the Middle Ages to the present day.

The Mediterranean Basin has been a stage where human movement, cultural negotiation, and structural transformations have unfolded in ways unmatched by any other region. More than a mere body of water, the Mediterranean constitutes a living environment in which civilizations have continuously interacted, reshaped one another, and generated new forms of social and cultural expression. Its shores have witnessed repeated cycles of mobility that have not only connected distant communities but also redefined the very meaning of connectivity throughout history.

The Most Important of All Ages. Children, Childhood(s) and Childlikeness in Soviet Cinema
The profound symbolic significance of the figure of the child in Soviet cinema has elevated it to a central—if not essential—principle of that cinematic tradition. Such a dimension calls for a sustained and renewed examination of the occurrences and variations of this figure, in order to further map its historical, ideological, mythopoetic, poetic, and philosophical metamorphoses within the Soviet filmic space. Our inquiry will address both the “childlike principle” that permeates characters in Soviet cinema and the representation of childhood itself—its defining features and substance, its cultural plurality, its departure or loss, its mediation through memory, its nostalgia—as well as the historical biases that shape its conception and delimit its perception.

The West-African Digital Transformations Forum
Digitalization is a major strategic stake for African economies, yet the extent to which digital development interventions have been successful and their role in shaping social, economic, and political transformations remains unclear. West Africa, in particular, offers a rich setting that remains insufficiently documented, calling for strengthened research efforts to inform debates and policies on digitalization and development.

Literary production and poetic trends among Cameroonian academics
L’écrivain intellectuel détient une posture hybride : celle du créateur critique et celle du critique de la création. Tout comme l’écrivain dit de métier, celui-ci se donne pour devoir de redéfinir les canons du livre, mais exprime davantage le refoulé de la critique. C’est ce qui permettra de scruter l’interrelation entre le savoir scientifique et la création littéraire, la double identité de l’universitaire-écrivain et les fonctions sociales de l’universitaire envisagées sous le prisme de l’écrivain. Se préoccuper de cette catégorie d’auteurs reviendrait donc à parcourir une imagination qui rapproche les lecteurs d’une vision assez épurée des problématiques contextuelles.
