The City and Housing

The Problem of Urban Extensions & Informal Housing

Studies on informal housing are often fragmented, limiting the overall understanding of the issue. Beyond housing precariousness, informal housing encompasses a complexity of aspects influenced by various economic, social, and political factors, with a perspective often focused on Southern countries. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to fully grasp these dynamics and formulate inclusive urban policies adapted to all societies.

What counting means in an imperial and colonial situation

This conference intends to open in new ways the file of accounting and statistical approaches produced in imperial and colonial context (thematic maps, surveys, statistical series etc.) to extract all the information that they are likely to provide on societies and situations that they are supposed to illuminate. Taking into account the numerous historiographical findings, the critiques of the different numerical elements used, their racialist and normative aims, it is as much a question of being interested in the conditions of their production, whether they are visible (investigators) or invisible (interpreters , village elites), than to analyze the reactions to their production, their distribution or to specify the expectations of the sponsors and the uses to which they give rise. The conference intends to encourage the crossing of the scales mobilized by the different supports of these accounting elements, starting from individuals and up to the relations between administrations or colonial companies and the Metropolis.

Quoting, editing, rewriting: reception and representation of fragmentary Latin poetry

The way in which our access to fully extant texts is mediated by subsequent reception is now well established. In the case of fragmentary works of Latin poetry, this mediation is even more direct and material: because we depend on secondary transmission for our access, the corpus of early Roman poetry is composed exclusively of the elements that ensured its reception (quotation, testimonia, etc.). It is often the case that studies of the reception of fragmentary authors tell us more about the later receiving authors and their aims than about the earlier authors and works to which they refer. This symposium is therefore less concerned with the content of Latin fragmentary poetry than with its literary and editorial development.

Anacyclose de l’exemple

The concept of exemplarity is of fundamental importance in Roman literary and historical culture. This conference aims to explore beyond the the rhetorical value of the exemples to question their epistemological and historiographical dimensions within the cultural and political landscape of ancient Rome. We will look at how an event or an individual becomes an exemplum, how that exemplum evolves to change its meaning, and above all, at what point it loses its epistemological value. By highlighting the long duration of examples, this approach aims to move away from a rhetorical study by focusing on the historical dimension of the example: how an event becomes the yardstick for studying and evaluating similar events, or how examples are used by different social actors, whether in support of or in opposition to power, to reinforce their actions or claims, particularly in times of crisis.

Yavarhoussen Fellowship

The Yavarhoussen Fund and the Institut national d’histoire de l’art (INHA) are launching the call for the fourth edition of the Yavarhoussen Fellowship in 2024 in order to encourage and consolidate academic research on the history of art in Madagascar from the 19th to the 21st centuries. This research subject is still too incomplete to be widely shared.

A Blue Art History

Artistic Creation, Biodiversity and Oceanic Environment (19th-21st Centuries)

This interdisciplinary symposium brings together researchers from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, as well as artists and museum professionals, to analyze ocean-related art. “The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet” is how literary scholar Steve Mentz describes it, as he works to bring together different forms of knowledge about this elusive entity. Mentz coined the term “blue humanities” to bring together interdisciplinary methodologies that focuses on the ocean. This symposium aims to enrich this field through the arts. Open to the public, it seeks to encourage exchange and discussion.

Rock, Activism and Liberation (1950-2020)

The objective of this conference is to take a closer look at the various forms of activism and empowerment of rock and contemporary music performers, through their work, their positions and their career, focusing in particular on activism based on a desire for liberation and in opposition to ideological, social, economic, cultural or religious norms. These topics will be addressed within a broad chronology, from the aftermath of the Second World War to the present day, through all types of music that fall within the loose definition of "rock", and on the basis of deliberately interdisciplinary approach.

Social and economic uses of creole languages

17th International Colloquium of Creole Studies (CIEC)

Who can truly contest the vitality of Creole languages? They are indeed young languages, born of the encounter between peoples of different civilisations, carriers of idiosyncratic visions of the world. In addition, they were effectively developed in different regions, but achieved similar results. Questioning the vitality of creole languages thus takes on its full meaning. How do the uses of creoles materialise in among the different social spaces of creolophone territories? Outside of the “classic” circuits of the language (schools, media, churches, etc.), do economic actors use language as a tool of economic market development? Our colloquium seeks to explore this key question of the social and economic uses of Creoles, their commoditisation in diverse domains.

Reformuler les parcours : Migration ibéro-américaine et dialogues culturels dans le paysage changeant de l’Europe

Dans le monde globalisé d’aujourd’hui, la migration façonne les sociétés de manière profonde, s’entrelaçant dans le tissu socio-politique des nations et remettant en question notre compréhension des identités culturelles. Le récit de la migration en Europe, notamment dans des régions comme le Nord de la France, la Belgique et le Sud de l’Angleterre, a souvent été interprété à travers le prisme de la sécurité et de la gestion des crises. Ce congrès vise à recentrer l’attention sur les contributions sociales et artistiques vibrantes, mais souvent sous-estimées, de la communauté migrante ibéro-américaine dans ces régions.

Voices of the South (Guyanas, Latin America, Caribbean, West Africa)

When speech becomes authoritative and oral serves as a writing of history

This issue aims to curate articles dedicated to exploring the voices that resonate from these regions. Central to our inquiry is the exploration of memory – individual or collective recollections of lived experiences, orally transmitted across generations, and culturally embedded within communities. This memory is particularly important in oral tradition societies, in West Africa for example, as well as in the societies and cultures of the Americas (including Guiana and the Caribbean). As a resolutely multidisciplinary dossier, it will welcome texts focusing on the words of the “people of the South,” as witness-spectators or witness-actors, and on the uses to which these words are put in research in the humanities and social sciences.

Partout et en tous temps ? Les lieux propices au harcèlement sexuel avant #metoo

Le projet AVISA, démarré en 2020, a pour objet d’écrire l’histoire du harcèlement sexuel en Occident sur la longue période. Ses membres se sont, dans un premier temps, interrogé sur les termes utilisés pour rendre compte de cet impensé du droit jusque dans les années 1980. Après l’interrogation de la figure du harceleur au début de l’année 2024, et donc du « qui » harcèle, ce colloque se posera donc la question du « où » et du « quand ». Poursuivant les travaux précédents, les communications sont invitées à envisager l’ensemble des lieux propices à ce type de comportements et à en dresser une cartographie sur la base de dénonciations et témoignages privés (archives, correspondances…) et publics (livres de conduite, presse) mais également à travers l’analyse d’œuvres littéraires, artistiques et médiatiques.

The Migration and Climate Nexus

The aim of this conference is to promote cross-disciplinary conversations around the climate and migration. This includes the complex issue of the role played by climate variation, through environment upheavals, in driving population movements. This issue is commonly referred to as “climate migration”. This conference is also an opportunity to encourage greater interaction between the climate sciences on the one hand, and the humanities and social sciences on the other; such interaction is critical for working on this cross-disciplinary subject.

Political Speeches in Film

In 1970, Michel Foucault highlighted the links between discourse and power in his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France. This issue is also found in films. Even though Costa-Gavras has stated that “cinema is not a political discourse but a spectacle”, it seems that political discourse and movies are closely linked. This is demonstrated by the many films in which characters speak out in public to defend a cause, exploring the very nature of politics as the art of representation. This transdisciplinary conference aims to bring together scholars from all horizons to explore, in the words of Hannah Arendt, politics as “a space between people”, and its two-way relationship with movies through speeches.

The Functions of Surrealism

As part of the celebrations for the centenary of Breton’s first Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), the Conference will explore the functions of Surrealism in aesthetic, poetic, ethical, and political terms, examining the Movement’s impact on several fields of knowledge. Going beyond the divisive approach either praising or criticising the Movement, the conference intends to explore Surrealism with a pragmatic approach, focussing on the variety of its effects. The focus will thus be on Surrealism as a cultural object, in the perspective of tracing a history of the narratives of the Movement with the aim less of assessing their “truth” but rather of understanding their scopes and assumptions. The approach will allow to reconsider the several forms of reception of Surrealism with a novel and interdisciplinary methodology, thus suggesting new reconsideration of the legacy of the Movement.
