An Approach to Paleography from the Perspective of Philology: Agreements and Disagreements, Abbreviations and Marginalia

IV Open Theoretical-Practical Conference on the Dissemination of Knowledge about Paleography and the History of Writing

This conference highlights the importance of combining history and philology in an interdisciplinary manner as the most comprehensive means of correctly studying the historical evolution of writing in the Middle Ages on the Iberian Peninsula. It will focus on the study of abbreviations and marginal notes in Hebrew. There will be theoretical sessions in the morning and a practical session in the afternoon, with calamus pens, quills and handmade ink, working about "experimental paleography".

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.

What forests do to energy counter-mobilizations

Modes of action, politicization, alliances

Durant le prochain congrès de l’Association française de science politique (SFSP), la section thématique 30 (ST30) questionnera ce que les forêts font aux conditions d’émergence et d’action de formes protestataires visant à porter la critique à l’égard d’infrastructures et scenarii qui, au nom de la « transition énergétique » ou de la « décarbonation », procèdent à une exploitation intensive des ressources ligneuses ou foncières des zones forestières. La ST sera soucieuse de faire dialoguer des travaux sur les Nords, comme sur les Suds, et entend privilégier les propositions qui inscriraient leur démarche dans une appréhension soit comparative, soit globale - par les jeux d’échelle ou les circulations - sur cette thématique.

Methodology and Applications of Language Industries in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Issues, Reflections, and Prospects

Discussions will focus on four main areas: sharing methodological approaches, examining applications in various fields (education, health, public services), debating ethical issues related to language automation, and promoting interdisciplinarity for the responsible development of language industries.

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.

Feminist Utopias at Work

Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish

Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.

Éros au musée

Acquérir, montrer et voir les œuvres érotiques

Le musée n’est pas seulement un lieu d’exposition : il est aussi un espace où se négocient sans cesse la visibilité et la valeur des œuvres. En suivant la thèse formulée par Walter M. Kendrick – selon laquelle l’isolement d’images jugées inmontrables a contribué, paradoxalement, à constituer la catégorie autonome de la pornographie –, ce colloque propose d’explorer le rôle du musée dans la construction et la reconfiguration des regards genrés portés sur les objets liés à la sexualité et/ou au désir (érotiques et pornographiques).

Anecdotes: Theory and Practice of Narrative

Journal Communications (2027) - varia

Across academic disciplines, the use of anecdote has received little attention. This despite the fact that they punctuate our professional and social practices : they are the stuff of our writing, our teaching, and our conversations. Present in the many sources, data, and materials that sustain the humanities and social sciences, anecdotes are also often decisive in the choice of our research objects. The freedom of tone that characterizes anecdotes allows overlooked or undervalued subjects to emerge, reshaping disciplines and their objects of study. The rise of research focused on marginalized people, social groups, and issues owes much to a renewed interest in sources once deemed unreliable – reported speech, hearsay, gossip, or indeed anecdote.
