Risks, protections, and climate change
“Revue internationale des études du développement” no. 257 (2025-1)
This special issue of the Revue internationale des études du développement aims to bring together articles examining the way in which individuals and organizations have been rethinking (or not) their risk management methods to better face the challenges brought about by climate change. To combine perspectives and methods, this call for papers invites the submission of work falling within the scope of the four lines of inquir: 1/ Climate challenges and informal risk management strategies: what is the nature of the reconfigurations taking place? 2/ Climate challenges and formal protection tools: what responses do formal organizations and markets provide? 3/ Informal strategies and formal tools: how do they interact? What benefits do they provide? 4/ Measures, perceptions, and representations.

Space and scale in missionary agency (1880-1920)
The revival of the Christian faith in the European and North American continents (GreatAwakenings – the Higher Life Movement) during an age of technical and technological innovations inmeans of transportation and communication prompted many Protestant and Catholic missionaries, withthe support of their respective churches, to sail to foreign lands for religious proselytizing. Evangelicalmissionaries and their sending organizations have been, to varying degrees, major actors of social andcultural mutations among the people and societies they worked with. To fully comprehend the impactof European and North American evangelical missions at the turn of the twentieth century, we mustnot only consider missionaries’ social and religious agency at the local level, but also develop thediscussion to the regional, national, and transnational levels.

Cahiers de Littérature Orale
Les Cahiers de Littérature Orale, revue française de référence dans ce champ de recherche, lance un appel à contributions pour un numéro portant sur le slam, qui vise à explorer les évolutions de ce genre. Il s’agit de dessiner les diverses formes que le slam adopte à travers le monde, s’ancrant dans des espaces culturels et s’hybridant avec des traditions orales qui lui préexistent. Dans la perspective de ce volume, nous encourageons une approche internationale et interdisciplinaire croisant les voix de chercheurs·ses en anthropologie, stylistique, linguistique et sociolinguistique, ethnomusicologie et cantologie, littérature, arts et histoire.

The ambition of this doctoral workshop is to spark interdisciplinary discussions on the social construction of space. More specifically, this seminar will consist of two workshops providing room for collegial and collaborative reflections on our uses of ‘space’ and its conceptual variations. Ultimately, we aim to critically engage with space, its construction and representations, as ever-evolving socio-political constructs, rather than pre-given.

Olfaction at the heart oh humans. The place of smelling in the human and social sciences
La journée scientifique que nous organisons souhaite explorer l’olfaction sous l’angle des sciences humaines et sociales. Comment les odeurs prennent-elles place dans nos vies ? Quels usages, effets, pensées, émotions, sublimations produisent-elles ? Comment organisent-elles nos vies ? Nous souhaitons définir et explorer des questions que les odeurs soulèvent au regard de notre existence et notre humanité au travers de recherches, d’expérimentations, de retours d’expériences qui concernent la façon avec laquelle des sujets au statut varié appréhendent les odeurs, qu’ils soient enseignants, formateurs, éducateurs, parents, apprenants, créateurs, artistes, soignants (...), dans différents contextes : famille, école, association, formation commerciale, lycée, université, restauration, salle d’exposition, lieu de soin…

Health and well-being of the elderly in africa: challenges and prospects for solution
Revue « Espace Territoires Sociétés et Santé » n°12 – 2024
La population Africaine est certes jeune (plus de 50 % de la population est âgée de moins de 18 ans), mais elle compte une part non moins négligeable de personnes du troisième âge (60 ans ou plus) qui représente environ 5 % de la population. L’intérêt du présent numéro thématique est de questionner l’interaction entre la santé et le bien-être des populations du troisième âge dans les pays d’Afrique enclins depuis ces dernières décennies à cette problématique. Il serait réducteur d’étudier la santé et le bien-être des personnes du troisième âge sous le prisme d’une seule discipline; la transdisciplinarité est nécessaire avec une réflexion globale intégrant l’impact de l’environnement et du parcours de vie sur la santé des individus.

Work environment and health in Africa
Revue « Espace Territoires Sociétés et Santé » n°13 – décembre 2024
Les réflexions proposées à partir de la thématique « Environnement de travail et santé en Afrique », doivent nous permettre de réfléchir sur les moyens d’améliorer l’environnement et la sécurité au travail et le bien-être des travailleurs en Afrique. L’intérêt du présent numéro thématique est de questionner l’interaction entre l’environnement de travail et la santé des travailleurs en Afrique. Si la recherche d’un complet bien-être doit être intégrée aux politiques de santé, une approche décloisonnée de la santé au travail nécessite un intérêt particulier face à l’environnement et aux conditions de travail, mais également dans tous les domaines de l’existence. La transdisciplinarité est nécessaire avec une réflexion globale intégrant l’impact de l’environnement sur la santé des individus.

“TRANS-” Journal
The journal of general and comparative literature “TRANS-” invites its contributors to enrich the ongoing reflection on hybridity following these lines of investigation. Derived from the field of biology, where it refers to “the crossing of two different species or genera to give rise to specimens that combine, to a greater or lesser degree, specific characteristics of both parents” (Encyclopaedia Universalis), the notion of hybridisation, when applied to literature, elicits questions of a poetic, stylistic, linguistic, and philosophical nature. It plays a key role in the discussions that have been held over the past few years on the dynamics of literary genres, and has come to be used in particular to describe a recent literary production, mainly narrative, of a documentary or fictional nature, whose heterogeneity is recognised by the public and may even contribute to a certain “seduction” of this mode.

Poitiers
This international conference will explore the cultural differences, similarities and potential bridges between the eastern and western worlds as envisaged during the medieval and early modern periods, including their represention in art, texts and legends, poetry, and pictorial and cinematographic productions. Since the areas of investigation are expansive, Japan is granted a primary place as the pivotal axis for the eastern world. This does exclude Persia, India or China. The northern, English and Mediterranean European areas will primarily represent the occidental world.

Séries états-uniennes de Network des années 2000
Following the conferences devoted to US network series produced from the 1950s to the 1970s (Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier, May 2018), during the 1980s (UPVM, February 2019) or the 1990s (UPVM, February 2020), this conference will focus on network series of the following decade: 2000-2010. Our aim is to give center stage to series that have often been either neglected or analyzed through restricted methodological approaches, and to contribute to re-historicizing the study of television series by refusing to focus solely on the hyper-contemporary series currently being aired.

The Invisibles and Heritage. What Heritage? Who for?
Revue « In Situ »
Quelle est la place pour des groupes sociaux exclus des systèmes de reconnaissance, de protection et de gestion du patrimoine – désignés dans cet appel par le terme d’« invisibles » dans le champ des activités et des attentes patrimoniales ? Comment sont-ils ou non impliqués dans les chaînes patrimoniales et pris en compte par leurs différents opérateurs (experts, institutions culturelles, autorités publiques) ? Que traduit la volonté de visibilisation de ces groupes, qui la requiert ? Quelles sont les solutions déjà apportées par les acteurs du patrimoine ? Quels effets les initiatives de visibilisation peuvent-elles avoir sur les politiques patrimoniales et la société ? Quels risques présentent-elles (essentialisme, institutionnalisation) ?

Future Imaginaries and Territorial Planning
Journal “EchoGéo”
Geographic space is commonly understood as the result of cumulative historical and social processes. We therefore start from the present in order to shed light on its genesis, and look for the factors behind it by going back in time. This issue of EchoGéo proposes to adopt a complementary and opposite perspective : to examine the effects of imagined futures on the spatial construction of societies, and hence the way in which future spatial configurations are thought about, anticipated, promoted or combated at a given moment. All proposals addressing the links between imaginaries of the future and territorial planning from a spatial perspective are welcome, whatever the discipline. Attention will be paid to the diversity and articulation of spatial and temporal scales brought into play by the imaginations of the future mobilised by territorial planning.

Faire le fou. L’art des bouffons dans l’Europe moderne
Playing Fools? The Art of the Jester in Modern Europe
The jester is a paradoxical figure: a subordinate included in elite social circles. Thus, he is an outsider, albeit a remarkably proficient one. Jesters, comprising fools, dwarfs, and other “monsters” – both men and women, often with disabilities – are itinerant, travelling from one court to another or from the precursors of psychiatric hospitals to the realms of royalty. The conference aims to scrutinise the competition between artists and jesters, with the latter frequently obtaining more stable patronage than poets and painters. Our goal is to establish the status of jesters between subalternity and disability, applying the methodologies of historical anthropology, social history, and art history.

International Conference on Constructed Languages, 2024
The International Conference on Constructed Languages (I-CONLANG II, 2024) offers a forum dedicated to multidisciplinary research on constructed languages. The study of constructed languages is the site of a proliferation of ideas and innovations in the linguistic field, which challenge the human ability to provide new forms of linguistic expression, for wide-ranging purposes. This phenomenon is not only relevant in linguistics, but in many other disciplines in the human sciences, as well as in the arts and letters, and this extends far beyond academic circles. The creation of a constructed language may have various purposes, but their study reveals a common set of questions, which the Conference intends to address.
