The Naturalist’s Wonder: Exploring Nature’s Marvels and Oddities
Zoomathia Conference 2025
Nature is often aberrant, or at least so disconcerting that it would be a form of ignorance not to marvel at it. The nature of animals, like that of plants, « overflows on all sides »(Theophrastus). This call for papers is addressed to all those—historians of science, historians of texts, biologists—who are interested in what Aristotle described as « the non-ordinary order of nature, » in its most disconcerting manifestations. Presentations may focus on motifs of natural strangeness, whether in experience or history, addressing anatomical, physiological, or behavioral aspects, as well as fields such as communication, technical skills, or what is vaguely referred to as the « animal sixth sense. »

Des vécus aux récits de la postmigration
Réinventer la narration de soi et du monde dans les sociétés européennes pluralistes
Ce colloque interdisciplinaire entend susciter le dialogue entre tous les arts et toutes les disciplines qui, d’une façon ou d’une autre, s’attachent à raconter ou à faire parler les traces et histoires que la migration laisse dans les différentes strates des sociétés européennes contemporaines. Pensé dans un esprit comparatiste, il encourage aussi la rencontre d’études menées sur les récits de la postmigration dans différents contextes culturels et linguistiques européens (Allemagne, Belgique, France, Italie, Espagne, Scandinavie, Royaume-Uni, etc.).

The Economies of War in the Medieval and Modern Periods
La 13e école d’été d’histoire économique se propose d’aborder le thème fondamental de la guerre qui est une donnée permanente de la vie économique aux époques considérées. Elle agit sur les sociétés par une multiplicité de facteurs. Elle détruit, d’abord récoltes, habitats et infrastructures. Elle entraîne l’organisation de transferts de richesses mobilières par les pillages et les rançons et représente de ce fait un facteur d’appauvrissement des populations.

Social networks and the dynamics of constructing/deconstructing social identities
Identity issues are a pervasive concern in Sub-Saharan Africa, where the complexity and diversity of networks, including social networks, play a significant role in shaping and reshaping various forms of identity. The humanities and social sciences offer a critical framework for scholars to investigate the “weak ties” and “strong ties” generated by these networks, as well as the intersections and entanglements between social networks and the dynamics of identity construction and deconstruction in Cameroon.

Depuis une quinzaine d’années, les groupes forgés par les conflits, qualifiés généralement de « factions », ont fait l’objet de recherches comparées qui ont mis en évidence leur omniprésence. Dans le prolongement de ces travaux, nous souhaitons nous intéresser à la manière dont les factions communiquent pour rendre publics leur existence et les conflits qui les nourrissent. Les discours élaborés par et sur les factions méritent donc d’être analysés avec prudence, en examinant leur structure, le cadre de leur énonciation et les mécanismes de leur diffusion, afin d’évaluer leur sincérité et d’en décrypter les sous-entendus. C’est à ce travail qu’invitent les présentes journées d’étude, dans une perspective comparée large, susceptible d’éclairer ces phénomènes sur le temps long.

Joint call for the journal Sources. Materials & Fieldwork in African Studies and the Revue d’histoire contemporaine de l’Afrique (RHCA)
This joint call for proposals for the journals Sources and RHCA welcomes original articles on the theme of return, or returns, to Africa. While differences exist according to time and place, what “returns” to Africa have in common is that they are not simply a physical return; they are also part of a political process and reflect a desire to reappropriate an ancestral African heritage, regardless of the ideological and institutional framework. Confronted with realities of African societies, “return” raises other questions, such as the status of foreigners and economic issues, and helps redefine political and cultural projects that are simultaneously local and transnational.

Since the 2000s, scholarly interest in the concept of heroism has grown to the point where some now speak of heroism studies or heroism science. This emerging historiographical current now has a multidisciplinary academic journal, research centers, and even encyclopedias for American and German researchers. By considering these as complex phenomena, involving a variety of actors, tools, and horizons of expectation, we aim to decipher the elaboration of imaginary images of martial heroism.

Eastern Bloc Universities as a Meeting Place for International Youth during the Cold War
This study day on international mobility is part of the transnational turn in research on the Cold War, which in recent years has highlighted a certain permeability of the Iron Curtain. It will focus on the transnational movement of students. It will focus in particular on the universities of Eastern Europe as a place of sociability and cultural mixing, and as a meeting place for young people. It will look at the issues at stake and the ways in which these encounters take place, in order to understand their impact on the personal trajectories of these young people at a time when their identity and professional pathways are being forged.

Conference, symposium - History
This colloquium invites to compare, on the one hand, women’s history and, more specifically, women’s authorship and expression history without reducing them to the simple field of writing and, on the other hand, aristocracy and the concept of nobility’s history in particular. The aim will be to explore any feminine discourse conveying ideas about the nobility, whether from a nobility member, a woman from outside the nobility or a fictional female character. Contributions will likely cover a wide range of sources: theoretical treatises, epistolary or diaristic sources, memoirs, literary works, artistic and musical representations and even oral sources for the contemporary period.

From writing on temples to the digital age: The means of dissemination and construction of history
"Histoire Méditerranéenne" Journal
This call is devoted to the means of disseminating and constructing history, from writing on temples to the digital age. This issue explores how the means of disseminating information have influenced, through the ages, the way history is told, transmitted and interpreted. By combining historical approaches with information and communication sciences, this issue aims to analyse the interactions between communication and historical dimensions across all historical periods, from the earliest times to the present era. This thematic issue seeks to examine the dialectic between mediums of dissemination and the construction of history, highlighting the continuities and ruptures between eras.

Plurality and Vulnerability in Ways of Building relationships
La notion d’intimité est aujourd’hui communément utilisée, aussi bien dans les manières dont chacun∙e d’entre nous rend compte de ses relations que dans les espaces médiatiques et académiques. Elle permet de rendre compte des transformations qui ont affecté au cours des dernières décennies les manières de relationner, de faire couple et famille, et plus généralement des liens noués avec celles et ceux à qui nous tenons : le déclin des institutions à principe, la diversification des parcours des individus, la reconnaissance des minorités de genre et de sexualité notamment. Diversification et désinstitutionnalisation des relations questionnent de fait leurs frontières et leur teneur. Cela a pour conséquence de mettre au premier plan la dimension politique de l’intimité, non seulement dans les inégalités et les rapports de pouvoir qui caractérisent les relations intimes, mais aussi dans les opérations et les institutions qui définissent ce qu’est une relation intime, qui en reconnaissent certaines et en invisibilisent d’autres, qui déterminent les « bonnes » intimités et discréditent les autres. Qui et qu’est-ce qui définit une relation intime ? Quelles sont les diverses manières de relationner et comment sont-elles qualifiées ? Quels sont les enjeux politiques et historiques de cette notion ?

Humanitarian aid: An unexpected driver of territorial planning
« EchoGéo » Journal 76 (April-June 2026)
It is generally accepted that humanitarian aid has an important political dimension. This issue will explore a particular dimension of aid’s political impact: the way in which it concretely shapes territories. This issue will bring together articles based on case studies where aid has played a leading role in spatial planning, whether this planning process was deliberately perceived and designed as such or whether it became established de facto, without any concerted planning; whether it was the result of the intervetion of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations (IOs) or emanated from the State.

Decolonial Studies 2015-2025 – State of the Field: Africas – Americas – Europe
In 2015, the first conference dedicated to decolonial studies was held at Lumière University Lyon 2. Ten years ago, decolonial studies, born in South America, were little known in France. The Toulouse conference, to be held in October 2025, aims to take stock, ten years later, of decolonial studies in European, American, and African spaces (Francophone, Lusophone, and Anglophone).

Paths, braiding, hybridizations: a planetary history of architecture and the urban
Revue « Transversale, histoire, architecture, urbain, paysage » n°9 (2025)
What we will question for this issue 9 of Transversale is how an architect's perspective and practice are formed when he travels or receives instruction abroad, and whether or not this results in a weaving of influences; is to question architecture as a paradigmatic cultural crossroads: figures of astonishing travelers-architects naturally, but also methods, processes, measurements, itineraries, flows...
