  The web: source and archive

  This international conference proposes to question the place of sources from the web in the scientific field and to situate web archiving practices in plural scientific approaches and questions. The project “Réseau de partenaires pour l'analyse et l'exploration de données numériques” (ResPaDon) brings libraries and research teams together to think, experiment and share practices related to web archives. The main goal is to bring the producers and the users of the web archive collection closer together, with the help and the mediation of academic libraries. In this perspective, the international symposium wishes to develop exchanges of knowledge between STI professionals and scientific teams by engaging the international academic community to participate in its work.

  Digital Arts and Humanities in ethnomusicology

  During the Covid pandemic, the academic world turned towards technology, digital tools and alternative media forms not only to support the transmission of ideas, research and teaching, but also to continue carrying out fieldwork. Musicians also adapted their use of these tools by producing sound and music online, which in turn enabled them to explore new opportunities and to engage in innovative collaborations, opening doors to new audiences that had been hitherto inaccessible. Alongside the rise of digital tools, contemporary ethnomusicology is faced with many questions, some of which emerge directly from our experiences over the last two years.

  Forces and Order. Police, security and surveillance in North Africa

  "L'Année du Maghreb" 30|2023-II

  The police forces of the Arab regimes have been the mainstay of the dictatorships in place before and after the 2011 uprisings.The main functions of the latter were and still are to break down democratic opposition. They hold a very specific place in the region’s collective imagination. This imaginary is affected by the power of State repression, which tends to overshadow the plurality of law enforcement mechanisms. As a result, security has mainly been apprehended from the angle of political repression and from outside the security institution, by focusing on the repression’s clientele groups rather than its actors, that is the police. This special issue aims to highlight sociological, anthropological and historical analyses of the various security systems: from the police institution to the more opaque surveillance mechanisms fostered by various institutionalised security professions (informers, militias, neighbourhood agents, etc.).

  From the disconnected letters to the science of letters: a meeting of knowledges in the Middle East

  In order to interpret the disconnected letters of the Qur’an (ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘a), Muslim thinkers have based their work on esoteric concepts, sometimes handed down from Antiquity, which have flourished in Islamic lands under the name of the science of letters (‘ilm al-ḥurūf). This international symposium aims to study the various representations of the mysterious letters within the wider framework of the science of letters, and to put them in perspective against similar readings from languages and cultures close to Arabic. Part of the symposium will be held in the historic citadel of Erbil in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, “the land of the two rivers”, the cradle of early writing.

  Intersecting Perspectives: Iconography, Archaeological Remains and Sociocultural Practices of the Ancient Human Societies

  This internationally oriented symposium offers the opportunity to focus on ancient societies for which textual sources are limited and for which iconography can play a major role in their understanding. The aim of this meeting is to highlight the possibilities and perspectives that the iconographic approach can provide but also to consider its limits in order to establish how and to what extent it is possible to use iconography, alone or related to archaeological remains, to clarify the understanding of sociocultural practices.

  Derrida and the 18th century

  Le colloque international « Derrida et le XVIII^e siècle », organisé à l’école nationale supérieure (ENS) de Lyon en mai 2023 avec le soutien de l’Institut d’histoire des représentations et des idées dans les modernités (IHRIM), se veut un événement transdisciplinaire. Il invite littéraires et philosophes, dix-huitiémistes et derridiens à penser la question de ce double rapport, jusqu’à présent rarement appréhendé comme tel : celui qu’entretenait hier la pensée derridienne avec le corpus dix-huitiémiste, et celui qu’entretiennent aujourd’hui les recherches dix-huitiémistes avec la pensée derridienne.

  Epistemology, methodology and reflexivity in geography

  Diversifying and renewing views to embrace the practices

  Subject to the dominant logic of academic productivity, today’s geographers pressured by the lack of time to think about their research and not only about its outputs. Through this first edition “Epistemology, methodology and reflexivity in geography: diversifying and renewing the views to embrace the practices” of the study days of the J.I Geo network, the ambition is to take a step back and reflect on young researchers (postgraduate students and recent PhD graduates), including non-geographers, who use a geographical approach in their work, whether human, physical or geomatic, are invited to contribute to this reflection. We make the assumption conferences tends to standardize the content by formalizing a way of producing thought. This is why these panels will allow longer and freer interventions (video, dialogue, gesticulated conference, participative theater, sound immersion, etc.).

  Cordel Literature: new perspectives, new approaches

  Jangada Journal #20

  Due to its thematic, poetic, and expressive diversity, the cordel witnessed, narrated, and recorded several national history moments. Even though only men mastered the art of composing and singing in verse initially, little by little, women also took the stage. Nowadays, poets adjust national and international interest themes to their meter, rhyme, and clause. They denounce the system’s falsities and contradictions; they question decisions and mock hypocrisy without, however, losing that aura of playfulness and wonder that has consecrated the cordel among us. Originally handwritten and later in printed versions, cordel has maintained a strong connection with the voice and culture of fairs and squares, the fey and laughter of rogue heroes, and the feeling of indignation of the less favored and the exaltation of legendary braves since the end of the 19th century. More recent researchers drew attention to the relationship between cordel and its singers’ orality and body performance while singing poetry and African griots. In this thematic issue, we propose to host papers concerning the most varied studies on cordel literature and its cultural practices.

  Metamorphoses and uses of the same past and formation of identities in Europe from the 14th century to the 1980s

  Shared, in competition, or antagonistic memories

  The ERC research program AGRELITA (The Reception of Ancient Greece in pre-modern French Literature and Illustrations of Manuscripts and Printed Books (1320-1550): How invented memories shaped the identity of European communities) is a transdisciplinary research program. This September 14-15, 2023, Lille conference’s ambition is to broaden the reflection on these issues of the uses of the same recomposed/reinvented past to form political and cultural identities at several levels, by opening it to other pasts (ancient, medieval, or modern ones) and to a wider period of reception and exploitation of these pasts, from the 14th Century to the 1980s, and throughout Europe.

  Training a Language Professional in Morocco in the 21st Century

  What Skills? What Knowledge? What Materials?

  The 2015-2030 strategic vision considers teacher training as one of the main drivers for re-founding the school. Standardized tests from both national and international assessments continue to underline the fact that the results are far from reaching the expected objectives, despite all the efforts made. This low level of our students’ achievements calls into question several variables that interact in any educational situation. In this collective book, we have chosen to approach the parameter in close relation with the “teacher effect”.

  Les reconversions sociales dans l’Europe de la Révolution française et dans ses colonies

  Social reconversions in the Europe of the French Revolution and in its colonies

  Les révolutions ont profondément marqué les sociétés européennes à partir des années 1780. Remettant en cause l’ordre politique qui caractérisait ce que la postérité retiendra sous le nom d’« Ancien Régime », elles en ont aussi durablement bouleversé, mais différemment selon les périodes et les espaces, l’ordre social. En quoi les révolutions sont-elles des accélérateurs de ce grand maelström social que nous souhaitons étudier sur deux générations pour mieux en mesurer les héritages immédiats ? Quelle est la réalité de la fluidité sociale, les possibilités et les limites des reconversions ?

  Media and Cultural Life in German-Occupied Western Europe (1940-1945)

  Though research on the cultural, political, social, and economic dimensions of propaganda in Nazi-occupied territories has a rich academic tradition, it is far from exhausted. There is still much research to be done in local, national, and especially transnational perspectives. There is also still significant potential for interdisciplinary investigation. This symposium will contribute to the development of new interdisciplinary and transnational research on media and cultural life in German-occupied Europe. Specific attention will be paid to the opportunities and challenges offered by the digitisation of archival collections, printed newspapers and audio-visual sources.

  Japan and its doubles. Study and representation of Japan’s territory and spatial planning through art and literature

  « Ebisu. Études japonaises » – special issue

  This special issue of Ebisu. Études japonaises focuses on the hypothetical heuristic value and the equally hypothetical performative role that artistic and literary representations, and even myths, play in the making of Japanese territory and the evolution of the reasoning and principles of their planning. Conversely, this issue also seeks to measure and analyse the impact of the dynamics of spatial planning on Japanese artistic and literary production, and even on possible inflections of the great myths that structure them.

  Women and Diplomacy in the Late Bronze Age

  Egypt and Ancient Near East

  Diplomatic marriages are attested in the Ancient Near East between the 3rd millennium BCE and the middle of the 1st. They took place after numerous negotiations and exchanges of gifts, and made it possible to seal or strengthen alliances with powers of the same rank or with vassal kingdoms. Thanks to the intervention of specialists of the Late Bronze Age in Egypt and the Ancient NearEast, and through the examination of textual, archaeological and iconographic sources, this symposium will analyse the place of women of the royal entourage in international relations.

  Appropriation culturelle et créolisation. Des usages politiques de la culture

  Numéro spécial des Cahiers de l’unité de recherches Migrations et société (URMIS) Appartenances et altérités

  The objective of this issue is to propose a reflection on the political uses of culture by putting into perspective the notions of cultural appropriation and creolization. It will examine the different conceptions of culture and identity that these two notions, which have emerged in social contexts affected by a strong racial hierarchy, entail. The expected case studies will focus on: the contexts in which these two notions have found their social relevance, the meanings they carry and the power relations in which their political and social uses are inscribed; their effects on inter-group relations and the nature of the boundaries they tend to reinforce or attenuate; the cultural productions (cuisine, hairstyles, ornaments, music and dance, arts, religious beliefs) privileged to support the discourses of cultural appropriation and creolization.

  Polls as a means of political legitimation

  Today, the importance of opinion polls must be discussed in the context of an increasing "doxophrenia", i.e., the obsessive need to quantify opinions, and an increasing mistrust (of citizens as well as political actors) towards opinion polls. The focus of this conference is thus on questions of legitimacy and legitimation as well as opinion polls as an instrument of political communication: polling expertise considered both as a method of forecasting and political framing.

  Listening to Justice

  Revue « Criminocorpus »

  The question of images in court and the video recording of trials has been addressed extensively. Christian Delage, who has precisely worked on the validity of images as evidence at the Nuremberg trials, put forward the notion of “hermeneutic prerogative of the image”. However, the history of the sound of justice has yet to be explored, even though recent works in the historiography of the judiciary as well as research in sound and listening studies do suggest the field might prove a fruitful one. Covering all historical periods in a diachronic perspective, this dossier aims to “listen to justice” throughout its entire process, from the early stages of investigations to court hearings, through periods of custody.
