  “InterArtes”, 2023 - Number 3

  Today, technological advances seem to point towards the artificial creation of complex singularities. The process of artistic creation is clearly at the heart of this paradigm shift whose implications are as much aesthetic and scientific as they are ethical, political, and then legal, economic, social, environmental... The third issue of InterArtes will be devoted to critically questioning the relationship between “Artistic Creativity and Automation”, both with theoretical contributions and with essays of a historical and empirical nature.

  Pierre Varignon, a “professional” geometer at the dawn of the Enlightenment

  A geometer and mechanic recognized by his contemporaries, an influential member of the Royal Academy of Sciences, in epistolary contact with Leibniz, Newton and even the Bernoulli brothers, Pierre Varignon (1654-1722) shaped a scholarly trajectory that we would today call professional. He is a “normal” scientist, neither brilliant nor misunderstood, and it is in this that he deserves to be studied. The aim of this conference is to make this polymath scholar better known, to take stock of the studies that have been devoted to him over the past few decades and to encourage research that sheds light on lesser-known facets of his commitment, such as his role in the dissemination of knowledge, particularly as a teacher, his positions in contemporary debates, or his technical inventions.

  Le diagnostic comme fiction

  Soin, Sens et Santé – An International Journal of Health n° 1

  Ce numéro de la revue Soin, sens et santé – An International Journal of the Health Humanities souhaiterait s’interroger en priorité sur les textes romanesques ou dramatiques, dans lesquels se manifeste ce que l’on pourrait nommer une tentation diagnostique. Peut-on diagnostiquer un personnage de fiction ? Ou s’agit d’un coup de force, qui ne pourrait être au mieux que de l’ordre du diagnostic différentiel ? Quel est l’impact de ce geste interprétatif sur le statut du personnage ? Quelle est la crédibilité scientifique du diagnostic littéraire rétrospectif ? Un savoir médical extérieur au texte peut-il enrichir l’interprétation littéraire de ce dernier ?

  The visionary drawing and its knowledge

  Portraits and faces

  The workshop suggests to reflect on the transformations of the portrait and on the representation of the face in the visionary drawing of the 19^th and 20^th century. Associated with the research programme on the written and drawn archives of Théophile Bra (1797-1863) and supported by the University of Strasbourg Institute of Advanced Studies – USIAS, it aspires to open up the approach to the visionary drawing in order to comprehend its participation in epistemological and philosophical changes of modern times. It seeks to renew the methods of art history by including the history of science and of knowledge about the psyche, medicine and philosophy, which will encourage – beyond the definition of a visual culture – a reflection on the creativity they have in common in terms of images and graphic processes.

  Time and Justice, Timing Justice (early modern and contemporary periods, Europe and Americas)

  Recent sociological research on justice emphasises the extent to which time has become a central issue in the functioning and legitimacy of the judicial institution. However, the temporality of justice as a social activity has been little studied in itself by historians. The conference aims to put the contemporary acceleration of justice into perspective by observing the relationship of justice to time over several centuries. The aim is to understand how justice constructs its temporalities and articulates them with other social temporalities in the modern and contemporary eras, in different spaces, contexts and legal cultures.

  Dancing to the Empire’s Limits (16th-18th centuries)

  L’Espagne est un maillon essentiel dans l’économie des langages chorétiques européens à l’époque moderne. Sans nier le rôle matriciel de la France et de l’Italie, il faut donc rappeler son rôle dans un réseau de pratiques communes aux cours européennes et alimentées par leurs échanges et leurs dialogues. Or, par l’ampleur de son empire et de son influence culturelle, la monarchie hispanique contribua à la diffusion des codes et des modes de la danse européenne jusque dans les territoires de ses vice-royaumes, tout en intégrant par différents procédés d’hybridation, certaines des traditions chorégraphiques propres à ces cultures. C’est dans ce grand cadre de réflexion que se situe l’appel à projet du colloque « Danser jusque dans les confins de l’Empire (XVI^e-XVIII^e siècle) », qui aura lieu les 26 et 27 juin 2023 à la Casa de Velázquez à Madrid.

  Afro-Diasporic Imaginaries in 20th and 21st–Century Latin American and Caribbean Literature and Visual Arts

  Nakan Journal

  In this volume, we would like to analyze in depth the paths taken by the 20th and 21st century Latin American and Caribbean letters in relation to the experience of the black diaspora in dialogue with the visual arts, as well as in relation to the main themes, forms and techniques used by artist, playwrights, poets, storytellers and writers. In a context of increasing violence and intolerance towards minorities in Latin America, we will welcome analyses that focus on the relationship between literature and the resistance of the cultures created by the black diaspora.

  Charged Objects

  Performing the Soul of Things

  By the obscure life that is theirs, by their “auratic” power, some objects do not appear as inert human possessions but instead as “actants”, with specific features, energies, and potentials. We call them objets chargés. When, where, and how does an object of this type take on a theatrical life and become performative? How does the agency of the object, alongside its aesthetics, manifest itself? What is the impact on performance or staging of this switch from passive object to “actant”? These questions prompt us to think outside of methodologies in theatre and performance studies that feature solely human agents of artistic practice and scholarship. We invite papers that address the performance of charged objects.

  Perspective, no. 2024-1

  The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2024 – 1 issue, the question of autonomy in art. In addition to contributions focusing on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which seem to be the periods most concerned, the journal in this issue coordinated with Maxime Boidy (Université Gustave-Eiffel) would like specialists in the history of modern art, the Renaissance, Middle Ages, and Antiquity, to explore the prehistory of this notion, anywhere the political order, religious structures, and cultural and social dynamics have shaped or anticipated its contemporary definitions.

  Corporations facing inflation

  L’inflation est de retour. Bien que les économistes considèrent volontiers qu’elle serait transitoire, il y a de bonnes raisons de penser qu’elle pourrait durer. Le retour de l’inflation est-il un retour aux années 1970 ? Les entreprises, la technologie et l’environnement économique et social ont beaucoup changé depuis cette période. Des nouvelles études sur les adaptations des organisations à l’inflation deviennent donc indispensables et urgentes. Ce numéro spécial de Gérer et comprendre souhaite confronter les analyses des économistes avec des enquêtes plus qualitatives portant sur les conduites adoptées par les directions d’entreprises, les employés, les sous-traitants, les prestataires de services, les clients, les financiers, les investisseurs et les pouvoirs publics pour s’adapter à l’inflation.

  Issue 27.1

  Le Bulletin du Centre d’études médiévales d’Auxerre (BUCEMA) est une revue scientifique à comité de lecture consacrée aux études sur le Moyen Âge. Fidèle à son principe de diffusion de la recherche en train de se faire et librement accessible, le BUCEMA continue à mettre l’accent sur l’interdisciplinarité ‐ sciences humaines et sociales, sciences de la nature et mathématiques ‐ comme le meilleur moyen d’inventer une nouvelle médiévistique. Il est particulièrement intéressé par les contributions proposant des nouvelles méthodes, faisant état d’expériences dans le domaine des humanités numériques (digital humanities) et des nouvelles technologies, s’interrogeant sur les implications épistémologiques et conceptuelles des recherches sur le Moyen Âge.

  Social protest and its futures

  For a temporal approach to political action

  Dans quelles temporalités futures s’inscrivent les mobilisations contemporaines ? Cet appel à communication part des postulats selon lesquels les temporalités qui entourent la vie sociale sont nécessairement multiples et parfois antagonistes ; que les projections des individus vers les horizons temporels futurs cohabitent avec celles d’autres rapports au temps, qu’il s’agisse des horizons temporels passé et présent ou des rythmes, des échéances, des sentiments l’urgence ou d’ennui ; et que les imaginaires du futur façonnent des états émotionnels (individuels ou collectifs) qui orientent le contenu des pratiques visant à transformer le monde. À partir de ces postulats, cet appel souhaite regrouper des chercheur·euses travaillant sur les fondements temporels des contestations sociales contemporaines.

  Femmes de sciences

  For this sixth thematic dossier, the online journal Design, Arts, Media is launching a call for contributions on the relationship between women and science. How to confront, reread and question the role of women at the crossroads of historiographies in science, art and design? Without reducing the roles devolved to creation and research, but on the contrary by looking at the friction, confrontations, nuances, paradoxes and demarcations between practices and knowledge, how can we think about histories together, but also their specificities? What are the new critical stakes for thinking the role of women as creators of knowledge? Particularly sensitive to the place of women in the theorization of design and media, this issue wishes to welcome contributions in visual and cultural history, sociology, philosophy, anthropology of humanities and social sciences, art, design and architecture, since the beginning of the twentieth century.

  Environmental changes have been impacting the living conditions of several populations around the world, at different times. In response to current climate changes, environmental policies encourage or imply profound changes in our ways of life. This conference proposes to examine in what ways do adaptations to environmental changes contribute, or could they contribute, to affect family life and/or kinship relationships.
