  Visual History of the Conquest of Turkestan by the Russian Empire, 1860-1900

  Testimonies, Representations, Commemoration, Decolonisation

  Le colloque sera consacré à l’analyse des représentations visuelles de la conquête du Turkestan par l’Empire russe au XIX^e siècle. Ces représentations ont été constituées aussi bien par les témoins directs que par les générations soviétiques et post-soviétiques cherchant à les héroïser, mythifier, inscrire ou oublier dans diverses reconstructions historiques.

  Christian missionary productions in distant territories: a comparative approach on strategies and alterity

  Cette journée d’étude vise à réunir les chercheurs et chercheuses de tout horizon travaillant sur les productions des missionnaires chrétiens forgées entre 1830 et 1970 dans les contextes coloniaux et post-coloniaux. Dans une approche d’anthropologie historique, nous souhaitons porter une attention particulière aux sources produites par les missionnaires (lettres, rapports, annales, documents iconographiques, photographies, écrits destinés à être publiés, témoignages oraux etc.) en les approchant comme des données empiriques, porteuses à la fois d’un discours émique et de contextes intellectuels historiques.

  Melting and dissolution: a contemporary aesthetic?

  « Cultural Express » - 2023

  At the Anthropocene epoch, where the cyclicality of seasons no longer holds sway, where the characteristic climatic markers of winter are fading, we aim to question the paradigm of melting, dissolution, liquefaction, and on the opposite, drying. In this sense, the contributors will study the disappearance of the winter season in contemporary productions, fictions or non-fictions, in order to highlight the articulation between the affective loss of this ideation and what contemporary societies perceive of themselves.

  Animal Magnetism in Motion

  Reconfigurations and Circulations, 1776-1848

  The European, and later global, circulation of theories and practices of animal magnetism, which covers a large part of the “long 19th century”, is a phenomenon that is significant but little studied in its complexity. The theory of the universal fluid and the magnetic therapies developed by Franz Anton Mesmer in Vienna flourished in Paris, and spread around 1784 all over France, to the colonies, to Malta and throughout Europe following the trajectories of learned, Masonic, mystical and esoteric societies, and of artistic and musical creation. This phenomenon of diffusion continued and was extended, particularly after the Revolution, in a double dynamic of claimed continuity with Mesmer’s discoveries, and of re-elaboration in the direction of the practices of somnambulism and hypnosis. It deserves to be studied from different sources, perspectives and disciplinary approaches.

  Violence and digital

  We have just undergone a health crisis of rare proportions and the violence of the war in Europe is engulfing us on a daily basis. How do we cope with such brutality? How can we overcome difficult events of this type? How can children and adolescents cope with such threats on the psychological level? What is the impact on health in general? And last but not least, what kind of treatment is needed? How can we respond to the massive increase in suicide attempts that we are currently witnessing? How should suffering be assessed? What innovative forms of care can occupational physicians, psychiatrists or psychologists offer? Online therapies seem to have undeniable advantages for some patients but what effect does this have on a patient's relationship with a therapist? Is digital technology more of an obstacle to or conversely a catalyst for that therapeutic relationship?

  Cinematerialisms: New Materialist Approaches to the Audiovisual (Cinema, Medias, Digital Arts)

  L’idée d’un cinéma matérialiste a souvent été comprise de deux manières différentes voire opposées. D’une part, elle renvoie aux matérialismes historiques hérités du marxisme (cinémas soviétiques des années 1920-1930, films militants des années 1970, etc.). D’autre part, la notion renvoie aux pratiques se concentrant sur l’exploration de la spécificité du médium, attachées aux caractéristiques techniques, concrètes des images et du son. Ce colloque international veut interroger les reconfigurations contemporaines de la notion de matérialisme dans le cadre des études des arts et cultures audiovisuelles.

  Multilingualism / plurilingualism, teaching and learning, complexity and integrity

  Epistemological, pedagogical and political perspectives

  This colloquium, to be held at the Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3 (France), a university that has worked on a dozen national and international projects on this subject over the last 20 years, aims to question the treatment of multilingualism in teaching and learning from the point of view of ethics and integrity, both theoretical and practical, considering the complexities of reality (context, variable scales from nano to micro). Seven areas of study are proposed (see the call). In addition to multilingual plenary lectures by internationally renowned researchers, the conference will offer multilingual workshop presentations, symposia, poster sessions, interdisciplinary and multi-category round tables, including national and international institutions, to reflect the complex dimensions and the integrity goal sought.

  Making pictures talk

  « Making pictures talk » or talking from and about them has become a common practice in social sciences that deserves critical examination. In the framework of this conference, people coming from several disciplines and whose practice is inscribed in the combination of photographs and narratives will revisit their case studies and explicit their ways of doing research. The intention is to compare different practices, confront them, and bring them into dialogue in order to discuss the ways in which each practitioner uses images and testimonies through the prism of his or her disciplinary and analytical perspectives.

  Mountains on the move: imaginaries, practices and lives

  La montagne, en tant que lieu de résidence, implique et mobilise des réalités, pratiques et imaginaires divers, selon qu’on y vive depuis sa naissance, qu’on y séjourne temporairement, par hasard ou de manière récurrente, qu’on y travaille ou qu’on y vienne pour les loisirs, régulièrement ou de façon occasionnelle. Ce colloque a pour but d'explorer comment les forces globales qui affectent les sites de montagne façonnent les arrangements sociaux et politiques de manière diverse et (im)prévisible. Il appelle à explorer la fabrication de la localité dans un monde en mouvement, en renforçant le débat entre (im)mobilité, migration et études sur la montagne, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire.

  Max Richter: Quotations and Cultural Meaning

  Figure majeure du monde de la musique contemporaine, Max Richter entretient un rapport étroit avec le passé qu’il ne cesse de revisiter pour éclairer le présent sous un nouveau jour. Tant l’intertextualité musicale que textuelle sont au centre de son œuvre qui multiplie des emprunts au répertoire classique et à la Weltliteratur. De la réécriture des Quatre saisons de Vivaldi à la citation de larges extraits de la Déclaration universelle des droits de l’homme dans Voices, la démarche postmoderne de Richter interroge la construction du signifié musical, le rôle de la musique dans notre société, ainsi que son rapport au passé et à la mémoire collective. Le colloque Max Richter: Quotations and Cultural Meaning est le premier événement scientifique consacré au compositeur.

  Trade unionism and changing world of work in Africa

  As opposed to what is frequently claimed in political and academic debates, wage labour and trade unionism in Africa are not outdated or doomed. Although labour unions, since the 1980s, have been severely affected by structural adjustment programmes, wage labour in its various manifestations is persistent, and a myriad of active labour unions exist. This conference will address cross-cutting issues around trade unionism and labour in Africa. Proposals from all human and social sciences, as well as transdisciplinary and activist contributions, are welcome in French or in English.

  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.

  Photomontage and Représentation

  « Cahiers de la recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère » - Dossier thématique, Numéro 18

  In the 1930s, photomontage was defined as a composition or montage of fully or partially cut-out photographs, which may include text, color or drawings, as can be seen in recent exhibitions. Since the first decades of the 20th century until today, photomontage has just as much examined artistic production as it has architecture, landscape, and the city. It thus serves as a rich subject in the contemporary image sphere, in terms of shedding light on the exchange between fields, and for analyzing transformations in the realm of history and representation. To this end, this current issue puts forth three lines of investigation.

  Troglodyte architecture: Safeguarding, Valorization and Sustainable development

  Giving the current recognition of the importance of the vernacular architecture that insures energy-efficientand environmentally friendly, the troglodyte architectural heritage, which has been for a long time considered as an unsuitable habitation architecture, shows actually ecological qualities and interesting architectural andcultural proprieties. The South Tunisian troglodyte architecture is one of the precious and representative heritage in South Mediterranean area. It represents a result of human creative genius, using local natural resources for surviving in an extreme environment. In 2020, this architecture was been included into the Unesco World Heritage Tentative List. The current Congress is intended to be an effective contribution to the state of art, to the sustainable development of troglodyte sites, and to the preparation of the nomination file of this architectural heritage for its inscription into the Word Heritage List of Unesco (WHL).
