Les enjeux et l’impératif du développement, de la promotion et de l’appropriation des études sino-africaines dans le contexte actuel de reconfiguration des relations internationales

China has become Africa’s leading trading partner, with an increasing presence in economic, cultural, and educational sectors, sparking debates and international rivalries. However, African research on Sino-African relations remains underdeveloped, lacking real synergy and institutional support. The 2024 FOCAC emphasized the need for a coherent African strategy and knowledge ownership to ensure a balanced engagement with China. The study aims to analyze the challenges of developing and promoting Sino-African studies, identify obstacles and opportunities, and propose forward-looking strategies. It targets researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in Sino-African cooperation. Articles (6,000 to 8,000 words) are expected by October 20, 2025, through the official website and will undergo a double-blind peer review process.

Precarious housing in the Global South

Public interventions and residents' expériences

This call for abstracts aims to highlight the growth and complexity of precarious housing in a context of increasing urban inequality. Far from being reduced to marginality or poverty, these spaces represent a third of the world's population and play an active role in urban dynamics, combining vulnerability, inventiveness and collective capacities. In the face of often repressive or insufficiently coordinated policies, it calls for recognition of their diversity, their essential function in the urban fabric, and the importance of interdisciplinary reflection based on field surveys, via the following thematic areas: theme 1 - Ambivalent effects of urban public action, theme 2 - Residents' practices, mobilisation and daily resistance, theme 3 - Institutional, symbolic and criminal violence: forms, effects and social responses.

Maintaining public goods in an era of austerity

Journal Espaces et Sociétés No. 200

Local government service budgets have continued to be cut, exacerbating the social and environmental vulnerabilities that municipalities now have to manage with limited resources. The purpose of this dossier is to focus on the spatial dimension of the continuance and evolution of public goods in a context of austerity. In particular, we encourage ethnographic and situated perspectives that consider top-down political experiments and bottom-up urban practices and their convergence in the protection, maintenance and regeneration of public goods. The goal is to give space to studies that investigate the relationship between austerity, public goods and care practices.

Call for papers - Law

Legitimacy of Legal Decisions Adopted Under Radical Uncertainties

The conference will focus on the theme “The Legitimacy of Legal Decisions Adopted in a Context of Radical Uncertainty”. It seeks to explore the mechanisms through which law is legitimized when decision-makers must act under conditions of profound uncertainty—be it scientific, political, economic, or social. In a context of multiple crises (climatic, health, security, technological, etc.), the aim is to question the law’s capacity to produce decisions perceived as legitimate, and to examine the conditions under which such recognition can be achieved.

« Turâb’26 » : Expériences de la matérialité de la construction en terre

Every handful of earth holds a story of "de-materiality," where the sensory philosophy of earth coexists with innovations and new technologies that push its technical limits in a desire to destigmatize it. Although durable and ecological, earth as a material faces cultural resistance tied to an image of precariousness, a perception fostered by modernity. Thus, in the context of alarming climate change, reinventing earthen construction has become urgent, if not necessary. This conference approaches research on earthen construction at the crossroads of poetics, engineering, and innovation. By highlighting earth architecture in Tunisia and around the world, it offers a transdisciplinary and resilient perspective on a universal material, putting its inextricably linked material and immaterial dimensions in tension.

Prefects in the Mediterranean, Mediterranean prefects? (19th-21st century)

Created in 1802 by Bonaparte, prefects remain a pillar of state-building in contemporary France. The symposium aims to paint a portrait of Mediterranean prefects in the contemporary era (19th-21st centuries), focusing on the following (non-exclusive) questions: What backgrounds do ‘Mediterranean’ administrative elites come from? What determines their success (or failure) in terms of their careers? Is there a culture, practice and professional identity specific to these Mediterranean prefects? How are the links between these prefects and local elites manifested?

Interest groups in post-socialist Central Europe

These rapidly evolving practices in Central Europe are at the heart of renewed research into the various links between political and administrative actors and private actors: what is the current state of knowledge?

Postdoctoral fellowship in Sociology of education

Two-year contract, full-time postdoc fellowship in sociology of education, within the framework of the ERC-Consolidator BildungLearning project n°101043433 (https://bildunglearning.be/). The main objective of this project is to compare the modern philosophy of Bildung and the contemporary paradigm of the Learning Society (LS) by systematically analyzing their homological structures. Through this comparison, we aim to expose the important conceptual mutations of the ideal of educational autonomy occurring from the first paradigm to the latter This research combines history of philosophy and political philosophy. Through an analysis of political-educational narratives, we want to examine if the great narratives of the philosophical modernity – such as emancipation through self-cultivation – have become totally obsolete or ineffective, or if and how far they continue to be operating in current discourses under critical and fragmented forms.

Numéro 2 de la revue « Odore »

Les odeurs, invisibles et difficiles à verbaliser (Jaquet, 2005), exercent pourtant un impact puissant, souvent implicite, sur notre relation aux autres. Elles peuvent exprimer l’intimité, marquer la distance, ou encore susciter le rejet ou l’attirance. Comme le souligne Le Breton (2019), les odeurs nuancent la valeur accordée à l’autre et façonnent nos émotions. Dans ce numéro de la Revue Odore, nous proposons d’explorer les liens entre les odeurs et le care, entendu ici dans sa dimension éthique, relationnelle et sociale.

Tele-Phonies: Listening at a Distance in the Arts and Auditory Cultures

Drawing from the hypothesis of an entanglement between auditory cultures, regimes of perception, and techniques of listening, the study day Tele-Phonies proposes to analyze the arts and cultures of listening through the plural notion of distance. The aim is to consider not only telephone and radio networks, but also a broader set of mediated practices of listening at a distance—within or on the margins of these networks—in order to grasp their impact on the sonic arts and auditory cultures.
