Minority Uses of the Past and Dynamics of Power in the Americas (19th–21st Centuries)

This conference follows on from an initial meeting, which focused on the forms of uses of the past, to examine the consequences of these uses and their results, both on national history and on minorities, as well as on disciplines and their methods. Researchers from different disciplines are invited to reflect on the same subjects from the perspective of their methods: anthropologists, sociologists, geographers, historians, specialists in literary studies, cultural studies, art historians, and linguists. The following four themes may guide proposals for papers.

Development Seen from Africa: Perceptions, Management, and the Challenge of “Better Living”

Revue « Daftari za Ngūgī », Vol. 6, 1er semestre 2027

Ce numéro de la revue Daftari za Ngūgī (ex-Nouvelles Dynamiques Africaines) invite à une rupture épistémique avec les mesures occidentales du développement (IDH). Contre la vision d’une Afrique pathologisée par les classements internationaux, cet appel sollicite des enquêtes empiriques rigoureuses explorant le « développement par le bas » : économie informelle, solidarités villageoises et définitions endogènes du « vivre-mieux ».

Arts and Literature in Latin America in the 21st Century: A Crossroads?

Amerika n°32

Following the colloquium held in Rennes, France, on October 9 and 10, to celebrate the magazine's fifteenth anniversary and as we approach the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, we would like to explore how contemporary Latin American imaginaries (primarily through literary and artistic production) contextualize not only belonging to specific territories but also the place these territories occupy in an increasingly globalized cultural universe.

Summer School - Middle Ages

Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?

The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

Virtualities

Revue « In Vivo Arts » No. 3

The In Vivo Arts team proposes an exploration of the concept of virtualities, and therefore invite artists, researchers, playwrights, performers, theorists, technicians, educators, and thinkers in the performing arts and cinema to submit reflections, texts, experiments, critiques, archives, works, or testimonies that interrogate this concept beyond its broad association with the world of digital technology, Artificial Intelligence, or new technologies.

Economy of leftovers and recycling

Social, political and environmental dynamics in the Global South

Economies built around waste – rubbish, unsold goods, surplus, scrap, used materials – are becoming increasingly important in the Global South. This issue therefore aims to examine these forms of economic activity from three main perspectives: environmental, socio-economic and political. The objective is to bring together empirical and theoretical work that documents, compares and problematises these waste economies based on surveys conducted in Southern countries, while taking into account the circulation and cross-influences with Northern countries. These ‘waste products’ can take various forms, which the issue intends to consider in an open and pluralistic perspective.

Crossed Perspectives on/with Unaccompanied Young Migrants: Words, Images and Discourses

We are organizing this conference in order to reflect on the worlds of words, images, discourses, and opinions surrounding these young migrants, produced both by the young people themselves and by the influential actors of our societies. We will question the scope of these representational worlds and their capacity to offer real alternatives for understanding migration with regard to UM-FIM-YIM. It is also a matter of observing, through the prism of media discourse, the role of the state, institutions, and different associative actors in the management of these phenomena.

Social Control and Health Issues: The Role of «Sanitary Policing»

« Amnis », revue d’études des sociétés et cultures contemporaines Europe-Amérique

This call for papers for Amnis Journal invites researchers to reflect specifically on social control – in its broadest interpretation – with regard to health issues. The focus for this call for papers is on the period between the 19th and the 21st centuries on the European and American continents. Comparisons with colonial areas, which are often true laboratories for social and health control policies, and with previous situations will also be accepted.

Speculative narratives from the margins

Social alternatives, decolonial ecologies, and critical knowledge

Choosing the margins as the main focus of this conference will help to examine how speculative fiction disrupts hegemonic narratives, bringing to light subaltern or minoritised modes of knowledge, temporality, and resistance; how it operates somewhere between the end of the world and the possibility of a new beginning to allow us to imagine other ways of inhabiting the Earth and of projecting ourselves collectively into the future. Proposals exploring these issues through the study of narrative processes, cultural appropriations, andintertextual circulations, will be welcome.

Sociocultural Animation and Sustainable Development

Challenges and Perspectives

Ce colloque constituera un espace de réflexion autour du positionnement de l’animation socioculturelle par rapport aux défis internationaux et mondiaux et de repenser les rôles, les pratiques et les enjeux, il sera aussi une occasion de promouvoir l’animation socioculturelle qui devrait évoluer vers l’affirmation d’une nouvelle convergence visant, par ses modes et ses méthodes d’interventions, la concrétisation des objectifs du développement durable tels que la citoyenneté la dignité et la réduction des inégalités sociales dans leurs différentes facettes, mais aussi être un levier de concrétisation et d’expérimentation de l’efficacité des objectifs du développement durable.

Plurilingualism and the circulation of knowledge, imaginations, and skills

What are the dynamics and vulnerabilities?

In L’économie du XX^e siècle (The Economy of the 20th Century), François Perroux stated that “we do not have a comprehensive, coherent and usable theory of what I propose to call the ’domination effect’” Why talk about relations of domination when we are dealing with the circulation of knowledge, imaginaries, and skills in relation to linguistic diversity? When there is circulation, movement, transfer, there are differences in level, which means that knowledge, imaginations and skills do not emerge everywhere at the same time and in the same way, giving rise to differences, imbalances and potential conflicts.

How do children engage in ritualised daily practices and rituals?

Ce colloque interdisciplinaire a pour thème les processus et expériences de transmission et d’apprentissage des savoirs et des compétences aux et par les enfants, sans présumer a priori des limites de l’enfance. Le questionnement central qui orientera les discussions concerne la façon dont, au sein de divers cadres socialisateurs, des contextes ritualisés – séculiers ou religieux – constituent le support d’intégration et de transformation de connaissances, modes de pensée, normes et valeurs, savoir-faire et attitudes.

Interculturality, Diversity and Inclusion

Contemporary Issues in Societies and Businesses in the Americas

L’objectif de cette rencontre est d’analyser l’interculturalité, la diversité et l’nclusion tant dans les sociétés que dans les entreprises de différents pays du continent américain. Il s’agit d’une activité qui comprendra des communications sur des pays tels que les États-Unis, Haïti, la Jamaïque, le Mexique, le Costa Rica, l’Équateur et l’Argentine. Outre le questionnement sur ces nouvelles et possibles instances inclusives, les différences culturelles, sociales et de genre ainsi que les transformations de la société dans de nombreux pays, ont conduit à une réflexion et à des propositions sur la possibilité de construire de nouvelles citoyennetés inclusives et diverses.

Uses of the Past: Minority Experiences in Action in the Americas

Depuis le début du 21ème siècle, les Amériques connaissent un moment mémoriel particulièrement investi par les groupes dont l’histoire a été invisibilisée. Ils portent, dans l’espace public, contestations, demandes de reconnaissance, voire de réparation. Ce colloque engage une réflexion sur les usages du passé lorsqu’ils sont mobilisés par des membres de minorités ethnoraciales, qu’il s’agisse de contester une histoire nationale, de chercher à s’y inclure ou d’écrire une histoire de la minorité.

Precarious housing in the Global South

Public interventions and residents' expériences

This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.
