  Ethnography and Participatory Research

  Current State and Forms of Action Research in Social Sciences

  Today’s societal and environmental challenges make it all the more important to bring together scientific knowledge, action and experience. Citizens are getting involved with scientists, and vice versa, in the production of knowledge that can be used for action and can play a transformative role. This participatory science and research movement has developed and become particularly structured in recent years. It is in this context that the question of the forms of ethnographic intervention - both long-standing and constantly evolving - has come to the fore. It is linked to major issues relating to social and cultural change, the relationship between science and society, social, environmental, economic and political issues, the ways in which anthropology and sociology are involved and applied, and the variety of professions open to social sciences.

  The war of the waves revisited. Cultural and political uses of radio within contexts of domination

  « RadioMorphoses » n° 11

  This thematic issue of RadioMorphoses will gather with researches working on radio in contexts charaterized by domination. Although it will especially welcome articles focusing on the uses of radio in colonial settings, in situations characterized by racial domination or ethnic domination, proposals relating to the wider field of domination can be considered. The central question at the basis of this volume will be to analyze the dynamics binding together radio, community and power; either in aiming to reproduce social hierarchies or to contest it? How has radio been used to build cultural identities within oppressive situations? Did it rely on community, particularly race-based ones? How divers publics have appropriated broadcasting contents, often in unexpected manners? This thematic issue also seeks to bring together fruitful perpectives that rarely intersect.

  The visionary drawing and its knowledge: artists’ diagrams

  If ever there was a graphic line that carried the desire to visualise the invisible, it is the diagram. This workshop aims to examine the way in which artists used diagrams in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By favouring case studies, it aims to renew the study of artists’ and writers’ diagrams that have already been identified and to bring to light previously unidentified artistic works, in order to understand how they function as images and thought processes, as well as their relationship to the scientific modes of visualisation of their time.

  The “Professional Worlds” of Architectural Ornament: Actors and Practices from the 18th Century to the Present Day

  This colloquium aims to contribute to a better understanding of the "professional worlds" of architectural ornament, by fostering a dialogue between two dynamic fields of research that have hitherto rarely been connected: the history of ornament and the history of professions linked to architecture and construction. Resolutely positioned on the side of the actors and professional practices, this event invites reflections related to the spectrum of ornament professionals, the relationship between professions, as well as the concrete organization of production chains. Contributions may cover a broad contemporary period (encompassing the 18th century and extending to the present day) marked, in particular, by the development of mass-produced ornaments and by frequent theoretical debates about the place of ornamentation. All cultural and geographical areas may be studied.

  Voices of African art : interview practices and the construction of knowledge

  « Voices of African art: interview practices and the construction of knowledge » est le titre d'un atelier doctoral qui interrogera les manières d’écrire sur les arts africains avec et depuis l’entretien. Comment produire de l’entretien ? Comment (ré)inventer ses formats, ses dispositifs pour mieux interroger les positions de celles et ceux qui dialoguent ? Comment faire parler les entretiens, au-delà des seuls récits qu’ils contiennent ? Quelle place accorder aux voix des artistes ? Comment les transcrire, (parfois) les traduire et les incarner dans l’écriture ? Comment les rétribuer aux interviewé·es, à qui les donner en partage, et comment ?

  Tensions dans le genre

  This special issue of Cahiers d’études africaines looks at the production of knowledge on gender in sub-Saharan Africa. Researchers have observed an empirical tension between, on the one hand, persistent structural gender inequalities and, on the other, women’s significant economic autonomy, their strong presence in public space, and their considerable spatial mobility. This issue aims to bring together studies that rely on empirical materials to shed light on analytical tensions specific to research on gender dynamics in Africa.

  Art as Philosophy?

  The reception of classical German philosophy by artists, from the 19th century to the present day

  While the reception of classical German philosophy by French philosophers has been the subject of a number of studies, thanks in particular to the development of studies on cultural transfers, research has so far given little attention to the question of its knowledge and use by artists. The aim of the conference is to open up a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, informed by case studies, on the role of the discovery of German Idealist and Romantic philosophies among European and American artists (visual, performing and scenic arts), from the early nineteenth century to contemporary art.

  Photography and Algorithms

  Transbordeur : photographie histoire société, issue 9

  Following on from two previous issues of Transbordeur—no 3 “Câble, copie code. Photographie et technologies de l’information” (2019) and no 7 “Images composites” (2023)—this issue aims to situate the phenomenon of algorithmic images within a history of technical images and an archaeology of visual and photographic media. For example, it will trace the history of deep learning algorithms applied to images, and the datasets used to train them. It will also involve situating the criteria adopted to invent and deploy these technologies in a historical perspective. In order to understand the historical depth of a phenomenon that we all too often tend to confine to our immediate present, the years 1980-1990 will be particularly examined, given that the advances we are seeing before our eyes are the consequences of successful experiments or failures experienced at the time of the first, vast development of software technologies and the internet.

  Material Life of The Displaced

  Categories, belongings, solidarities (19th-20th centuries)

  Les migrations de l’époque contemporaine ont d’abord été étudiées sous le prisme politique de la construction des États, de la sortie d’empire et de l’accueil des réfugiés. Porté par les renouvellements de l’histoire économique et de l’histoire des mobilités, notre colloque (5-6 décembre 2023) propose quant à lui de réfléchir à la vie matérielle des déplacés au XIX^e et au XX^e siècles. Comment le déplacement des populations modifie les conditions matérielles d’existence des déplacés eux-mêmes comme celles de la société d’accueil ? Dans les sources, trois grands axes se dégagent pour souligner l’importance de la vie matérielle dans l’histoire du déplacement des populations : l’appartenance, les catégories administratives et les solidarités. Il conviendra donc d’étudier pourquoi et comment l’entraide, l’appartenance et la catégorisation des déplacés s’articulent avec leur vie matérielle.

  On Migration Routes: Mobilities, Risk, and Uncertainty

  Drawing from studies that lie within the framework of major contemporary “migration corridors” (Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, North America), this topical collection aims to explore the relationship between risk and migration from the perspective of migrants, at a time when the perils associated with crossing borders reach an unprecedented intensity. The reflection will focus on how migrants perceive the uncertainties and risks related to the decision to leave, and on the practices and mechanisms they use to manage these risks. In doing so, the notion of risk itself, as a culturally situated relation to the present and future, can be subject to critical reflection by examining the very concrete effects of uncertainty on the structuring of biographical trajectories in migration. Finally, this collection also aims to understand the link between the practical management of risk by migrants on a daily basis, and the management systems of “migration risks” implemented by institutional players.

  Reading, Readings... and Loving Bukowski: an invitation to a subjective interpretation

  We hope to welcome testimonies and papers relating to the reception of Charles Bukowski from a variety of angles: his influence on various literary scenes, his publishing, the role of his translators, the choices made by his editors, but also and above all the way readers read Bukowski, why they appreciate the author’s texts and sometimes appropriate his work, to renew it in other media forms.

  « 101 Theory Not Found » - Jeux vidéo X animation

  This conference aims to outline an interdisciplinary approach to video games based on the thoughts and methods of “animated cinema”, but also to lay the foundations for a study of animation in video games. Considering video games from the perspective of animation, and vice versa, raises questions that are both economic, technical, and aesthetic. These questions are likely to interest professionals from both industries as well as academic scholars. To what extent do video games integrate and engage with “animated cinema”? Conversely, do video games open up new possibilities for animation techniques? What are the specific modes of storytelling and reception landscapes that emerge from the intersection of animated cinema and video games? What markets does it define?

  Popular cultures and performative identities

  Digital technology, music and dance in Africa and beyond

  The international symposium “Popular cultures and performative identities. Digital technology, music and dance in Africa and beyond” brings to a close the AFRINUM program funded by ANR from 2019 to 2024. Its aim is to examine, through the prism of music and dance, what digital technology does to cultures and what cultures do with it, in terms of knowledge transfer and production, reconfigurations of social relations and cultural mediation. On a more theoretical level, it questions the relationship between music, technology and culture, and invites a critical re-reading of the innovation paradigm, largely based on a Western-centric narrative. Finally, this symposium provides an opportunity to explore a new field of research at the crossroads of Popular Music Studies, Sound Studies, Sciences and Technology Studies and Digital Studies.

  Les territoires sont-ils des accélérateurs de la transition ? C’est ce que semblent suggérer les nombreuses réflexions actuelles sur les contributions du territoire - de ses acteurs, de ses proximités, de ses héritages, de ses ressources et de ses échelles -, aux transitions des modes d’habiter, de produire et de consommer, des systèmes de gouvernance et des rapports au vivant, etc. Mais quels sont les ressorts analytique, méthodologique et éthique de cet engouement territorial ? Traduit-il l’émergence d’une « géographie des transitions territoriales » ? Quels en seraient les contours, les caractéristiques et les visions de la transition véhiculées ? Avec quelle pertinence et quelles limites pour affronter l’urgence écologique et les enjeux de justice associés ?
