The Presence of America in Madrid

Art, Images and Material Culture in Transit

As is well known, during the Early Modern period, hundreds of objects, artworks, painted and illustrated documents and manuscripts were sent from the Spanish viceroyalties in America to Iberian Spain. This circulation has been the object of renewed academic interest in recent years. In response to this trend, it seems necessary to better understand the particular place that Madrid, as both city (villa) and court (corte), occupied within this broader phenomenon. We invite proposals based on original research that can contribute to advancing the current state of knowledge and explore new questions and theoretical frameworks for our better understanding of these unique objects and works of art.

The politics and poetics of down-and-outs

Rogues and picaros in medieval and renaissance Spain and England

Within Western literature, the picaresque was quickly perceived as a “historically and geographically delimited tradition” specific to Spain during the Golden Age, a genre apart from the rest, almost without precedent. Going against this common misconception, recent studies have reminded us of the importance of the Apuleian and Lucian origins of this ‘new’ narrative formula. The wily beggar thus seems the prodigal son of the Ancients. Shouldn't we therefore extend the reflection and, at the very least, reconsider the scientific cliché that sees in this character the perfect (dissident) example of the Renaissance hero? Didn't the Middle Ages also contribute to the creation of the cunning rogue?

The changing imagination in Argentina post-2001: the renewal of the representation of the people

Cette journée d’étude entend interroger et repenser la notion de peuple argentin à travers le prisme de ses multiples représentations contemporaines, qu’elles soient discursives, littéraires, picturales, cinématographiques, théâtrales, musicales ou encore performatives. Qui sont les nouveaux acteurs du peuple ? Quelles identités politique, sociale, culturelle et linguistique tentent-ils de construire ? Quel système d’alliances et d’oppositions organisent-ils ou encore, « contre qui se constitue le peuple ? » (Khiari, 2013 : 116).

The Ethics of Gold

Revue internationale des études du développement n°249 (2022-2)

This call for papers falls broadly within the scope of ongoing debates around the relationship between development paths and gold mining activities, and around the social and political reconfigurations caused by these extractive activities. It aims to grasp the heuristic significance of gold in order to examine the processes of change, structuring, and destructuring at work at different scales of the gold production network and supply chain. It particularly welcomes studies grounded in empirics to primarily address the following issues: responsibility, (possible) sustainability, legitimation, and social justice.

Cultural coordinates in present-day museology

Five neologisms

The International Conference Cultural Coordinates in present-day museology: Five neologisms is aimed at research that focuses on analysing the contemporary museological discourse and its effects on cultural communication. Numerous questions arise, for example, regarding curatorial practices, the new formulas of knowledge transmission, museology’s potential contributions to social cohesion, the mediation made possible by the new technologies and the critical contribution to be expected concerning issues such as gender demands, environmental sustainability and others. The sections are headed by the corresponding neologisms into which the themes that are the subject of debate and analysis are divided.

New masses, old questions. New views on collective intelligence

Revue « Essais »

In a regressive approach, this thematic issue of the journal Essais envisages starting from the new configurations of the mass in the digital age to question in a fresh way the ambivalence constitutive of the historical reflection on the masses, at the same time fantasized for their intelligence and their potential of emancipation and depreciated for their incompetence and their passivity. This issue, in an interdisciplinary approach, aims to bring together specialists in new technologies, the practices and imaginaries they engender, with those interested in the theoretical, historical, fictional and figurative dimensions of this collective subject.

Migration Triage and Experiences of Blocking : Africa, America, Europe

On a global scale, many migrant populations are stopped in their journey at international border or on the roads and places that are gradually built up as internal state borders. The political processes of contention are currently a common denominator of the production of blocked situations, as part of a transformation of the dynamics of control and surveillance. The « border effects » have in common that they confront migrants, like asylum seekers, with forms of blockage, lengthening waiting periods, producing new social dynamics, temporalities and spatiality where various actors intervene. The objective of the conference is to analyze the diversity of migratory situations produced by blockage at different levels according to their production context. The aim of the event is to participate in the construction of a comparative framework to address these situations by putting into perspective the construction of migration policies and their effects in Africa, Latin America and Europe.

“Laboreal” Journal, July 2022

In numerous socio-professional activities (in agriculture, the police, the army, health, research, art, the environment, among others), humans and animals work together. In recent years, research in the human and social sciences has highlighted the specificities of cooperation between humans and animals, and has shown the existence of animal work, thus opening a new field of research. We now know that the rules of work are built intra- and inter-specific: between humans and between animals and humans. The aim of this issue is to discuss and analyze these activities, and the associated ethical and deontological issues. We seek to address the issue of human work with animals, as well as animal work itself. Therefore, this dossier seeks to discuss both the relationship between humans and animals and the engagement of animals in work.

The blue economy in the Caribbean: challenges and development

The objective of this thematic issue is to provide an overview of the blue economy in the Caribbean. The concept of the blue economy, relating to the use and conservation of aquatic resources and ecosystems, is increasingly being put forward to promote sustainable development of the islands (Failler and Phang). While traditional sectors, such as beach tourism, commercial and recreational fishing, and maritime transport occupy the forefront of the economic scene, several emerging sectors such as biotechnology, marine renewable energy, and deep mining are emerging (Patil et al., 2016). As can the protection of the coastline and the improvement of its resilience capacities to cope with the effects of climate change (Failler, 2020). The development of nature-based solutions in recent years on cyclone-prone islands is an example of this.

Creating and researching audiovisual spaces

Interferences between production conditions, design processes and aesthetic choices

Spatium, Latin root of the word “space”, reveals the extent of interpretations this idea covers. Spatium is at once distance and stretch of time, path and measure, racecourse and arena. Space therefore emerges as a structuring principal, being defined by its limits, its position or its organisation – in short, by what surrounds it, that to which it is opposed – since we establish it as being relational. Spaces depend in this sense on the perspective from which they are observed. The symposium’s aim is to question the audiovisual world’s interest in space. We will observe the ways in which different audiovisual spaces interfere with each other and their influence on the film-works’ creation-reception line.

Local production and appropriations of globalised urban planning

The acceleration of globalisation and the massive urbanisation of the planet over the past forty years have played a powerful role in the transformation of cities. These worldwide dynamics are often presented as sources of a homogenisation of the cities’ organisational principles and the policies guiding their development, as well as urban forms and architectural styles. The result would thus be a ‘globalised urban planning’, in the sense of a uniform vision of the ways of creating the city promoted by the intensified circulation of ideas and models, the mobility of urban planning actors and the concentration of capital on a global scale. ‘Globalised fragments’ (Verdeil, 2006, p. 160) would be the symbol of this process, characterised by an influx of private stakeholders and specific planning schemes where the production of urban images play a key role.

Black Lives Matter: a transnational movement

Revue « Esclavages et post-esclavages / Slaveries and post-slaveries »

The aim of this special number is therefore to bring together articles analysing the growth of Black Lives Matter (BLM) to a transnational movement. Contributions should show awareness of the concrete modes of circulation and appropriation, and to the repercussions of campaigns linked to BLM, but also of the historical and political ruptures and continuities implied and explained by them. Contributions bearing on the role of new information and communications technologies (NITC) and social networks, especially in the spreading of images (videos of police violence, artworks etc), and their role in the transnational development of the movement will be given close attention.

Circulating between "extremes"

Nationalisms as a common denominator between the Americas and Europe (20th-21st centuries)

Les temps de crise mettent en évidence des phénomènes intellectuels et politiques qualifiés d’atypiques en Europe mais inscrits dans une temporalité longue en Amérique latine. Tel est le cas des convergences, occasionnelles ou plus durables, à l’échelle nationale ou transnationale, entre les extrêmes d’un échiquier politique plutôt pensé en termes de droite(s) ou de gauche(s). Or, cette dichotomie n’est pas toujours pertinente pour rendre compte des expériences latino-américaines, et des coïncidences survenant dans les représentations politiques et stratégiques : entre militants d’extrême droite et organisations se revendiquant du marxisme, de secteurs du trotskisme et de mouvances nationalistes, de membres d’organisations révolutionnaires et de groupes paramilitaires ou enfin d’intellectuels oscillant entre socialisme et fascisme. La relation entre la nation en tant que projet et le nationalisme comme idéologie semble fonder cette spécificité régionale. Telle est l’hypothèse que nous souhaiterions discuter à l’occasion de cette journée d’étude.

Musei, sive bibliothecæ of Claude Clément: the library and its usefulness

Social, intellectual and moral functions

Musei, sive bibliothecae tan privatae quam publicae Extructio, Instructio, Cura, Usus (Lyon, 1635) du jésuite Claude Clément (Ornans, 1596-Madrid, 1642) est considéré comme l’un des ouvrages fondateurs de ce qu’on appellera plus tard la bibliothéconomie. Au-delà de ses apports théoriques, il s’agit aussi d’un recueil d’érudition d’une extraordinaire richesse, à l’image de la langue latine que l’auteur emploie. Une équipe de chercheurs appartenant à l'Institut des sciences et techniques de l’Antiquité se consacre à l’étude et à la traduction de ce livre en français en commençant par le discours programmatique de l’œuvre. Cette équipe souhaite pouvoir partager son travail et interagir avec d’autres chercheurs que ces questions intriguent lors d’une rencontre scientifique.

Cozinhando imagens, tejiendo feminismos. Latin american feminist film and visual art collectives

During the last years, there has been a revitalization of feminist movements internationally. In Latin America, the performance of ‘A Rapist in Your Path’ by the collective LasTesis on 25 November 2019 put Chilean feminism in the global spotlight. This revitalization is also pushing for political and legal reforms, such as the approval of a bill legalising abortion in Argentina on 30 December 2020. The alliances between feminists, artists, and filmmakers in Latin America are not new. Fuelled by the 1970s women’s movement, several feminist film collectives emerged during this decade and instrumentalized cinema to raise awareness about women’s issues and intervene in political contexts.

Equal rights, de facto inequalities in the Americas, multidisciplinary approaches

Le colloque Égalité de droit, inégalités de fait dans les Amériques s’intéressera tant aux problématiques des inégalités qu’aux formes de résistance ou de mobilisation pour l’égalité. L’approche proposée par le colloque sera avant tout pluri et interdisciplinaire ; toutes les approches seront les bienvenues, qu’elles aient trait à l’histoire, la sociologie, l’anthropologie, la géographie, l’urbanisme, l’architecture, l’histoire de l’art, les sciences de la nature et de l’environnement, le droit, la narratologie, etc. Les analyses pourront adopter une perspective diachronique aussi bien que synchronique et également miser sur la comparaison entre plusieurs situations d’inégalités/égalités. L’analyse des « inégalités » pourra se faire selon une approche intersectionnelle, croisant le genre, la classe sociale, la racisation ou encore, l’âge, l’orientation sexuelle, la religion...

Medical uses of mineral waters (1300-1850)

The journal Histoire, médecine et santé is launching a call for proposals for a thematic issue devoted to the ‘water medicine’ before the rise of 19^th century hydrotherapy. We would like to solicit original research focusing on the therapeutic uses of mineral waters in a transhistorical perspective. Proposals can be sent, for example, on the administrative management of mineral waters and their therapeutics, on the geographical issues related to water medicine, their localisation and their hierarchy. The place of mineral waters in a medical market could also be studied as well as their integration to economies of knowledge. Finally, mineral waters are a formidable starting point to think about environmental medicine. The calendar of this call aims at allowing the integration of emerging projects and the dialogue between the contributors. Proposals must be sent by May 21, 2021. Papers will be submitted in January 2022.
