Humanités numériques et défis de l’émergence africaine
Ce colloque sur les humanités numériques en Afrique est un cadre d'échanges qui, au-delà des perspectives interdisciplinaires et pluridisciplinaires, se veut une occasion d'échanges en vue de creuser les limites imposées par le numérique et les sciences sociales. Dans une approche inclusive, il s'agit de montrer en quoi la dématérialisation et la démocratisation de l'information s'érigent en des questions épistémologiques sur le numérique, sur le modèle d’éducation et de culture dans une Afrique en plein essor. Les discussions porteront essentiellement sur le numérique, les lettres, les arts, la pédagogie, la recherche, les sciences sociales et l’émergence de l’Afrique.

It also aims to contribute to the consolidation of a decolonial comparative law community across the African continent and beyond.

Governance of International Film Festivals: From Rules to Legitimacy
The central issue addressed by this volume lies in the tension between the proclaimed “international” character of film festivals and the absence of a binding international legal framework regulating their activities, selection mechanisms, jury appointments, conflict-of-interest management, and transparency procedures. How do festivals construct their legitimacy? On what foundations is the credibility of their outcomes built?

L’Algérie des anthropologues, un « programme » en perspective
Espaces, figures, pratiques et terrains ethnographiques après l’Indépendance
Dans les actes du colloque sur l’avenir de l’anthropologie organisé par le CRASC à Timimoun en 1999, Mohamed Brahim Salhi écrit : « La question de l’avenir de l’anthropologie en Algérie est en soi un programme » (2002, p. 87). Vingt-cinq ans plus tard, qu’en est-il de ce programme ? Quelles nouvelles orientations et quels nouveaux horizons de recherche propose-t-il ? En actualisant et en élargissant les questionnements autour de l’anthropologie de l’Algérie et en Algérie, ce numéro s’intéresse au renouvellement et aux développements dans la période postcoloniale de la discipline dans une double dimension nationale et internationale. Il souhaite mettre l’accent sur le devenir d’une branche des sciences sociales sous tension, aussi bien en termes d’enseignement que de recherche.

Tant dans l’espace journalistique que sur les murs mêmes de la ville, la caricature politique et l’illustration graphique constituent des sources de la culture visuelle qui condensent et montrent les batailles symboliques qui se livraient dans la rue, allant même jusqu’à redéfinir les codes et les pratiques utilisés dans l’espace public. À la croisée de l’histoire politique, de l’histoire de l’art, des études culturelles et de l’analyse urbaine, ce colloque propose d’examiner les façons dont la caricature politique, la satire visuelle et l’illustration graphique ont influencé la représentation et les usages de l’espace urbain au cours du « long XIXe siècle » espagnol.

Democracy at University: Voicing Choices
In France, as abroad, questions of democracy span multiple social fields. The University appears as a privileged place for observation and reflection. As a space for academic and civic education, for the transmission of knowledge and collective experimentation, it also constitutes a laboratory for democratic practices.

At first glance, the concept of “anonymity” may seem simple: any actor who acts without revealing their identity is acting anonymously. However, this superficial simplicity hides considerable technological, social, and political complexity. What conditions make anonymity necessary for expression, cooperation, and judgment? The cultural, ethical, and narrative dimensions of “anonymity” in contemporary digital environments affect both administrative and creative life. With a perspective that combines the techniques of law with those of sociology, politicalscience, cultural studies, and narratology, this project seeks to uncover the cultural transformations that underpin “anonymity’ in practice, through its new or emerging instruments and narrative features.

African Women Shaping the World
Activism, Networks and Connections (1920s-1970s)
Research on the long-term history of African women’s rights struggles in the 20th century is currently vibrant, however, a gap remains in the scholarship concerning the global engagement and impact of African women activists’ thought, practices and contributions to the emergence of international feminist movements. This workshop, convened by an international group of scholars, aims to foster collaboration on this issue, with a focus on African pioneers of women’s movements and their global connections.

Laboreal, July 2026
Since the 19th century, the cyclical crises of our industrial societies have fuelled multiple initiatives aimed at envisioning another possible world. Yet recent decades have revealed a state of profound crisis that leads us to doubt, more radically than ever, the validity and sustainability of our ways of thinking and acting. Our futures are at stake, our models of society are being strained under the pressure of climate change, social and societal upheavals, public health crises, and political instability. In this context, human labour is an undeniable issue. In these times of transition, ways of thinking about and acting on work increasingly integrate the utopian dimension, which underlies the evolution of both the worlds of work and communities of life. This issue will therefore be an opportunity to take stock of the state of the art.
