On the Roads of Arabia: Itineraries by Land and Sea

From the Bronze Age to the Islamic Period

The aim of the symposium is to study the overland and maritime routes of the Arabian Peninsula and the exchanges they made possible, through archaeology, history, philology, religion and life sciences. This topic will be addressed in the longue durée, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic period. The symposium will also examine the networks of exchanges with border regions such as the Indian subcontinent, the Horn of Africa and Egypt, as well as the empires of the Ancient Near East, and the Greek and Roman empires.

Le chef d’œuvre dans l’art de bâtir du Moyen Âge à l’époque contemporaine

In the scope of the journal Ædificare, a call for abstracts is launched on the question of the “masterpiece in the art of building from the Middle Ages to the Comtemporary era”. The discussion will begin from theoretical and practical, multidisciplinary, national and international perspectives. All interested parties are invited to submit proposals to the committee, in particular, but not exclusively, along the following two lines. First, the ritual demonstration of competence, which will help analyze the available sources - old or new - on this procedure : duration, nature of the subject, material realization, conservation. It would be interesting to examine the basis for such a practice in Latin countries, and its absence in Anglo-Saxon countries. Then, the technical feat will be understood as a challenge, while examining the plurality of masterpiece practices and their meanings : challenges launched between communities or to oneself, technical feats, their visual or written representations, their effects on spectators or the public (procession, world’s fairs, etc.).

Sore losers in democracy: denial of defeat and post-electoral crises

“Nomopolis” journal

Trump’s reluctance to concede defeat in the 2020 US presidential election, his supporters’ assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, as well as the attack of former president Bolsonaro’s supporters on the federal government buildings in January 2023, all raise questions about the rejection of alternation, the political and legal contestation of electoral results and the different types of crises that may ensue. Through the notion of “sore loser”, this second issue of Nomopolis aims to examine the modalities and stakes of these sequences in which candidates, parties or voters break with the normal and peaceful functioning of liberal democracy.

From limits to margins. Periphery(s) in stories and imaginarie Latin American contemporaries

« Amerika », numéro 28

This number attempts to define what the margins and peripheries are today in the imaginaries, stories, human sciences and cultural fields of the Americas. If the twentieth century saw, in most countries of Latin America, as it was about defining a cultural norm (which or not took over from the colonial period, whether or not integrating elements of pre-Hispanic history), also appeared increasingly affirmed countercultures and peripheral cultures. With digitalization, which occurred at the beginning of our century, a strong acceleration of the movement was noted. It is then worth asking what a peripheral/marginal culture may be, as well as looking for a way to define it. Another primary issue is knowing how (and by whom) these currents can be represented. In a somewhat binary conception of social, geographic and creative space, one would obviously have to oppose the notions of normativity and centrality to the margins.

Digital democracy: promises and illusions

Internet neutrality, access to information, democracy formats

A stable and peaceful society is based on a solid and strong democracy. The democratic model is the future of any society that respects human rights.New information and communication technologies and the still poorly regulated advances in Artificial Intelligence have impacted not only all human activity, but have also contributed to reshaping the relationship with politics, citizen participation, political communication and politics, national and international. The purpose of this international conference is to question the phenomenon of electronic democracy not only from an instrumental point of view (e-voting tool), but to question the conditions of possibility and possible limits.

Les noms propres : intraduits ou intraduisibles ?

Troisième rencontre des jeunes chercheurs sur les intraduisibles de l’Antiquité

La présente journée d’étude vise à questionner l’intraductibilité des noms propres de la Méditerranée ancienne. Il sera question notamment d’évaluer les apports de l’anthropologie et de l’histoire dans l’analyse de la dynamique entre nom propre et idionyme(s) : d’un côté, le nom propre, conçu comme une entité abstraite, recouvre plusieurs catégories, telles que : l’anthroponyme, le théonyme, l’ethnonyme, le toponyme, l’ergonyme, etc. ; de l’autre côté, l’idionyme correspond au nom propre tel qu’il est porté par un individu, une divinité, un lieu, etc., ancré dans son contexte historique, régional, social, culturel et familial. Au-delà de l’interprétation et de la compréhension linguistiques des noms, il est nécessaire d’étudier le contexte d’appartenance de chaque idionyme. C’est sur ce point que la démarche anthropologique trouve toute sa pertinence.

Sacred texts/Profane images

Dynamics of transmission of religious knowledge: in dialogue with Congolese popular painting

L’art plastique populaire congolaise représente un intéressant point d’observation des processus sociaux et culturels pour une étude des interrelations entre le texte sacré, l’évangelisation et l’iconographie. C'est ce sujet que le colloque veut approcher par une perspective interdisciplinaire et comparative, en élargissant le regard à d'autres domaines historico-culturels, coloniaux et autres, et à la dynamique plus générale d’échange entre la culture savante et la culture populaire. En ce sens le colloque se veut l’occasion d’étudier des problèmes clés, en identifiant en deux sessions respectives deux domaines thématiques et de dialogue méthodologique et historiographique : images et transmission du sacré ; savoirs-pouvoirs-représentations.

Bringing monuments to life

Staging, spaces and audiences

Dans une visée scientifique et socio-professionnelle, ce colloque vise à comprendre comment se redéfinissent les rapports entre les lieux patrimoniaux et leurs publics, les logiques sociales et politiques de la culture à l’œuvre dans la médiation du monument en tant que patrimoine bâti. Nous souhaitons ainsi interroger ce qui fait vivre les monuments de patrimoine dans/à travers leurs mises en scène, leurs espaces qu’ils soient intérieurs/extérieurs mais aussi symboliques et imaginaires ; et enfin, leurs publics au travers de leurs appropriations, représentations, usages et pratiques du monument ou lieu de patrimoine. Cette rencontre sera l’occasion de renouveler et prolonger ces questionnements sous différents axes qui ne se veulent pas exhaustifs mais qui constituent des pistes de réflexions : mises en scène, espaces, publics.

(Anti)colonialism and (inter)nationalism

Rendez-vous d’histoire coloniale, 2nd edition

In the wake of Colonial studies, the Research Group on Colonial Orders organises the second edition of the Rendez-vous d’histoire coloniale. A first issue took place in 2022 (« Être colonisateur·trice, être colonisé·e »). This conference invites scholars to put to use the tools of both critical social sciences - for a strong empirical and contextual anchorage - and those of Postcolonial studies, in order to bring (back) to light the multiple dimensions of imperial domination. So as not to fall into the trap of an imperial history that isolates empires as self-sufficient units, it will also pay specific attention to extra- and trans-imperial circulation. While colonisers and colonised interact, they are not isolated from the rest of the world. Indeed, imperial relations take place within frameworks of international relations that transcend borders and other geographical and political boundaries, whether regional, national or colonial. The conference will thus aim to explore the question of colonisation through a prism that is as global as it is localised, attentive to the overall system and its concrete expressions, without geographical restriction, for the modern and contemporary periods.

Europeanisations from the Bottom and from the Margins

Actors, Representations, and Experiences (late 19th-early 21st centuries)

Ce colloque international poursuit l’ambition de prolonger les réflexions sur les européanisations en réunissant des contributions mobilisant principalement deux approches : l’histoire par le bas et par les marges. L’histoire par le bas vise à encourager une étude de la notion d’Europe au-delà d’un phénomène géopolitique mettant en scène des institutions étatiques et paraétatiques, mais plus largement comme un espace social, politique, culturel et économique en construction et un cadre de référence touchant tous les acteurs et actrices de la société. À cette histoire par le bas s’ajoute la notion des marges de l’Europe, ici principalement envisagées comme des marges temporelles et géographiques. Nous nous intéresserons donc aux mécanismes à l’œuvre sur le temps long (XIX^e et XX^e siècles) et en particulier dans des pays ou régions à la périphérie de l’Union européenne, jusqu’alors peu considérés dans l’étude de la construction européenne, à l’image de la Suisse, de la Finlande, des pays balkaniques et de l’Ukraine.

Health and Nature

Thematic issue of the journal “Histoire, médecine et santé”

This thematic issue of the journal Histoire, médecine et santé examines the various uses of and relations to nature in the field of health. Inspired by the multidisciplinary issues raised by the current climate and biodiversity crises, this thematic issue follows recent academic initiatives in interrogating the various conceptions of nature and their effects in a number of cultural fields (urban planning, artistic production, etc.). It seeks to explore the ways in which these representations, rooted in both ontologies and marketing issues, constrain and transform the medical uses of natural elements and spaces. The issue is open to proposals from a wide range of historical and geographical contexts that could help broaden our understanding of the naturalness of the elements and products in question.

Gaetano Salvemini (1873-1957) and France

The conference intends to propose an overall re-examination of Salvemini's relations with France, starting with those matured with some historians during the drafting phase of his volume on the French Revolution (1905, subsequently reissued several times with variants), passing through his relations with some important intellectuals and those gravitating around the figure of his second wife Fernande Dauriac, arriving at those with the world of Italian and European antifascist exile. Vast and significant, even if not always marked by sympathy and harmony of ideas, appear, moreover, the relations with exponents of the labor movement and with various personalities of the French socialist world. A separate chapter is, finally, represented by relations with the Giustizia e Libertà movement.

International Conference on Sexual Diversity Studies in Ibero-America: Desires, Spaces and Identities

Artistic-cultural practices, productions and epistemologies from the edges: voices and decolonial stakes of feminisms and sexual dissidences

This symposium aims to make visible, analyze and reflect on border cultural practices and productions. In the geographic and symbolic borders stand identities and resistances of those “othernesses” built by colonialism and by that “western conscience”. In a decolonizing effort on the object-subject in artistic-cultural production, feminisms and sexual dissidences in the Ibero-American and diasporic space transform “the personal into the political” through artivist practices and the appropriation of public and virtual space, proposals from performance, manifesto, street art, literature, weaving, scenic arts and music, among other forms of expression that deconstruct the hegemonic vision.

Women poets and the canon

IV International Conference “Female Creations in Literary and Intercultural Education” (CICELI)

In this fourth edition of the CICELI conference, we are paying special attention to women poets, their work and their controversial relationship with the canon, celebrating two fundamental milestones: the 90th anniversary of the groundbreaking inclusion of two Spanish women poets (Ernestina de Champourcin and Josefina de la Torre) in Gerardo Diego’s anthology Poesía Española (1934) and the 70th anniversary of the publication of Carmen Conde’s anthology Poesía femenina española viviente (1954).

Endogenous Knowledge in Focus

Senegalese Journal of Information Sciences

For many years, the promotion of endogenous knowledge has been a recurring theme in discussions between academics and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The significant contribution of this heritage to science seems to have been systematically neglected. These considerations are not new in the light of the history that shapes them, especially since these knowledge systems give rise to various epistemological, social, political and media considerations. This call for contributions aligns with the philosophical concerns of Valentin Yves Mudimbe, advocating for the construction of an “indigenous science” that seeks to understand African socio-cultural realities by reinventing Africa.
