  Art contemporain africain : entre paradigmes, paradoxes et programmes internationaux

  « Art en train de se faire », « art qui se déploie », « art in situ », « art qui se démocratise », « anti-art »,  « art conceptuel », « art post-conceptuel », « art postmoderne »…, c’est dire toute la polémique autour d’une définition consensuelle de l’art dit contemporain. Le philosophe questionne les soubassements idéologiques et conceptuels ayant présidé à son émergence recherchant ainsi une approche globale de compréhension de ce phénomène. Ce dernier s’appuie notamment sur une observation rationnelle de l’évolution des sociétés, sur l’impact psychologique de cette évolution chez l’artiste, et autant que faire se peut sur l’interprétation phénoménologique des produits de l’art, dans un souci d’objectivation des mutations de la créativité artistique… Cet appel vise à pourvoir le catalogue d’exposition de textes scientifiques. Art et science seront ainsi mêlés dans une perspective pluri et interdisciplinaire.

  War Losses & Naval Warfare, 18th to 21st century

  Anticipating Naval Losses: Innovations & Prospects

  “If you want to wage war at sea, expect casualties”, one would be tempted to write. To build a unit such and train the crew responsible for arming it involves anticipating the question of losses at sea. What are the human, material, intellectual and cultural resources available to anticipate better? Who are the actors in charge and what is their experience of the losses experienced and/or represented? What data is used to anticipate losses? How is the “retex” (feedback) taken into account in anticipating combat and losses?

  Communication, culture and new emerging behaviors in times of crisis

  An exploration from the perspective of human and social sciences and their game changer

  The pandemic has imposed new rites, a new way of life mainly: at work, at school, in leisure and travel, and even in our most intimate social interactions with our friends, families, and loved ones. The principle of “social distancing” has insinuated itself everywhere (Frédéric Tangy &Jean-Nicolas Tournier2021). This colloquium aims at examining this new transdisciplinary theme. In this regard, under the supervision of the Laboratory of Sciences Applied to the Environment and Sustainable Development (SAEDD), our Action and Research Group in Communication, Culture and Organization (GARCCO/ARGCCO) will launch the second edition of its international colloquium.

  The Sociology of Contemporary Art

  Journée d’étude de la revue « Marges »

  Les dernières années ont vu se multiplier les recherches sur l’art moderne et contemporain inspirées par les méthodes de la sociologie ou de l’histoire sociale de l’art. Cette journée d’étude entend encourager le développement d’un champ de recherche encore en devenir, avec pour conviction que la sociologie peut apporter à l’étude de l’art contemporain, mais aussi, réciproquement, que l’art contemporain constitue un objet d’étude fructueux pour la sociologie de l’art et de la culture, voire pour la sociologie en général.

  Afro-Diasporic Imaginaries in 20th and 21st–Century Latin American and Caribbean Literature and Visual Arts

  In this volume, we would like to analyze in depth the paths taken by the 20^th and 21^st century Latin American and Caribbean letters in relation to the experience of the black diaspora in dialogue with the visual arts, as well as in relation to the main themes, forms and techniques used by artist, playwrights, poets, storytellers and writers. In a context of increasing violence and intolerance towards minorities in Latin America, we will welcome analyses that focus on the relationship between literature and the resistance of the cultures created by the black diaspora.

  Joan of Arc’s tears

  Des lettres gigantesques, lumineuses, hypnotisantes : Jeanne d’Arc. Filmées d’en bas, pour leur conférer encore plus de poids, elles apparaisent sur l’écran en diagonale, comme si elles se projetaient ailleurs. Un autre écrit lumineux, vertical, au second plan, précise le lieu où nous sommes : ciné. C’est clairement une invitation à entrer dans la salle obscure. Le film projeté est La passion de Jeanne d’Arc de Dreyer (1928). Mais maintenant il est dans un autre film. Nous accompagnons en effet dans cette salle de cinéma une autre bouleversante, fragile, superbe fille, la Nana / Anna Karina de Godard (Vivre sa vie, 1962). Une communauté de destin se dessine entre les deux personnages. Le numéro de K. Revue trans-européenne de philosophie et arts consacré à Jeanne d’Arc voudrait sonder cette transformation de l’expression d’une douleur intime en une émotion collective, et, peut-être, en une politique de l’émancipation.

  Villes et territoires intelligents. Concepts, enjeux et stratégies d’actions

  The last two decades have seen major changes on a global scale: the uncontrollable development of information and communication technologies (ICTs), the “emergence of real smart city”, automation, cybernetics, but also the alarming increase in climate change accompanied by the depletion of raw resources, health crises and the weakening of social ties. Closely related, these factors have had an impact on places, practices and human lifestyles that have become resilient, connected, active and sentient. The Smart Cities and the interconnected territories, in all their dimensions, their aspects and their future, are the subject of studies and exchanges of this colloquium, in accordance with three axes: Cities, artificial intelligence and sustainable territories, Image and imagination of the city, City and creativity.

  Visions, Voices, Signs, Signification

  The organisers of the HHH-2023 conference invite paper proposals from their colleagues in the Human Sciences who can elucidate for their peers the hermeneutical and semiotic principles which were operative in the ideas that peoples in earlier times and in non-Western cultures entertained about the languages they spoke. We are particularly interested in proposals which investigate the belief that, in one guise or another, language is “a gift from the Gods to men”.

  Europe’s devices, European devices?

  Observatoire des discours de/sur l’Europe

  After five successful international conferences (Besançon 2013, Brussels 2015, Turin 2017, Bucharest 2019 and Cyprus 2021), the Observatory of Discourses of/about Europe launches its sixth call for papers. This year, the conference aims to explore the discursive construction of Europe through the devices that make it exist, whether they tend to promote it or, on the contrary, seek to distance themselves from it or even to question it. The main aim is to continue to forge an international and interdisciplinary space for discussion on the ways in which the link between discourses on/in Europe and the approach(es) in terms of device(s) can be theoretically addressed and empirically analysed.

  Religion and political scientists

  A socio-historical look on “inconvenient” objects in the discipline

  The purpose of this workshop is to revisit the question of “religion” in political science, by assessing the ways in which the discipline has dealt with it (separately from debates about its definitions) over the past forty years. We wish to further discussions that were initiated in sociology (Lambert, Michelat, and Piette 1997; Béraud, Duriez, and Gasquet 2018) and developed more recently in political science (Jouanneau and Raison du Cleuziou 2012; Frégosi and Silhol 2017), towards a simultaneously epistemological and empirical work on the legitimacy and blind spots with such objects (Altglas and Wood 2018).

  Studying Demands for State

  From Practical Tensions to Generalised Crises

  This study day intends to interrogate the notion of “demand for state” in different fields and from different social sciences disciplines such as sociology, history and political sciences. By “demand for State” we mean the process by which social groups come to invoke a certain ideal of the state through criticism, demands and reflexive practices. We will pay attention to the different levels at which these demands for state manifest themselves: in the practical tensions and daily affairs of social groups, in the formulation of a critique of the State in intergroup conflict, in the formation of public controversies leading to state reforms, and finally in political crises related to struggles for the state.

  The Visionary Drawing and its Knowledge: Orients

  As the “Orient” became a central object of Western knowledge and representation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the workshop will examine the way in which visionary drawing took hold of it. 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 opening up to the intersecting history of artistic, scientific and political knowledge, which will encourage - beyond the definition of a visual culture - a reflection on their convergences and divergences in terms of images and graphic processes. It will thus focus on the way in which the visionary drawing of the 19th and 20th centuries participates in, or differs from, forms of visual orientalism already well studied in art history.

  The landscape at its margins

  The recognition of landscape is prepared or accompanied by artistic and scientific initiatives that define landscape differently from the brief definition given by the Dictionary of the French Academy in 1762. Indeed, for the latter, the landscape is an "Extent of country that one sees from a single aspect". However, “extent” cannot sum up landscape painting and this call for papers wishes to investigate the notion of landscape in the 17th and 18th centuries in a different way.
