  Ideological and advertising discourses in universities and medias

  28th issue (autumn 2025) of the journal “Sociocultural community development and practices”

  This issue is part of a joint reflection on the value of information circulating in globalized societies and the literacy that would allow us to better understand these phenomena in order to orient ourselves. What do the current discourses of universities, and the media reveal about their roles in contemporary societies? The aim of this issue is to make visible and analyze the intentions and knowledge mobilized by professors and journalists, but also by managers and shareholders, as well as students and audiences, through their communications and actions in their respective environments.

  The genre as variable in corpus linguistics

  French language then and now

  The meeting is proposed as a methodological reflection on the operationalization of the notion of genre in linguistic inquiries. It also aims to strengthen the dialogue between researchers working on old states of the French language and those studying its contemporary state. The Workshop will thus highlight the variety of perceptions and ways of operationalizing the parameter of genre according to the chronological period, the linguistic level, and the theoretical approach.

  Queering the Archive - Queering the Exhibition

  Our symposium wish to focus on alternative practices relating minority collections, memories and heritages. It is about to consider ways of challenging the dominant norms in terms of heritage constitution, exhibition and the narratives they contribute to impose. Taking into account the diversities of gender and sexuality, as well as their intersections with other registers of discrimination, the queer field of thought plays a full part in this contestation. We therefore invite the contributors to the symposium to explore what the possibility of a ‘queer agency’ might mean, of an openness to ‘the object that slips away’ (Sara Ahmed) for this set of practices that accompany archives and collections. Following Jennifer Tybuczy, we want to ‘call for, describe, and enact queer display praxis’. We encourage contributions from all fields of human sciences and archival, curatorial and artistic practices. Our aim is to fertilise a multidisciplinary and diachronic approach to the addressed themes.

  Misopedia II

  Adult domination in contemporary artistic, scientific, political and medical

  Misopaedia refers to the hatred of children (in the same way that misogyny refers to the hatred of women). A first-ever international and transdisciplinary colloquium was held in October 2024 at the University of Limoges. The aim is to continue this movement with a second part of the colloquium around adult or adultist domination and discrimination of children. Not only from a legal and psychological point of view, but also through various fictional representations which we know to be of vital importance in shaping individual and collective visions. This will hopefully contribute to changing behaviors towards the youngest members of our society.

  On the fascistization of social reproduction: cross-border views about anti-feminism, debt and neoliberalism

  In this seminar, we will analyze the dispute over what is perceived as a crisis at the level of social reproduction in order to develop the notion of “fascistization of social reproduction” (Silvia Federici), as a key point to understand the forms of anti-feminism as programmatic elements of the new ultra-right.

  The Democratic Republic of Congo in the "Process of Atlantic African States" (PEAA)

  Assets, Issues and Perspectives

  En 2022, la République démocratique du Congo avait lancé les travaux de construction du port en eau profonde de Banana. En termes géopolitique, les 37 km de façade sur l’Océan atlantique que possède ce pays devraient être valorisés, car l’état du bief maritime dans cette façade ne permettait pas aux navires hauturiers d’accéder aux infrastructures portuaires en place, notamment les ports maritimes de Matadi et de Boma. Mais aussi, depuis quelques années une dynamique s’est développée autour ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui "Processus des États africains atlantiques (PEAA)". Il s'agit dans ce colloque de déblayer le terrain et suggérer aux décideurs politiques, sur la base de quelques données fiables, certaines options nécessaires à lever pour le bien être, l’existence et la survie de la nation congolaise au sein de ce Processus.

  Showing Architecture, 15th-20th Centuries: Power and its Symbols

  This symposium is aimed to investigate the phenomenon of “monstration” of architecture over several centuries, in its material, event-driven and symbolic aspects; symbolic aspect, in particular when it involves a power struggle, whether in the context of the architectural profession, cross-professional relations or, above all, expressions of central political (i.e. whether monarchical, imperial, republican, institutional, religious) or competition power.

  The Lessons of Rome

  Huitième édition

  Les Leçons de Rome propose un espace de réflexion et de débat pour quiconque appréhende l’Italie comme laboratoire de recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère. Définir l’Italie comme laboratoire suppose d’analyser les contextes de fabrication des politiques urbaines aussi bien que les expériences de projet, les théories comme les pratiques, les héritages et les mutations tout autant que les orientations et les prospectives. En quelques mots, construire un savoir et une culture, mais encore tirer des enseignements et développer des outils opératoires pour appréhender le présent et enrichir les pratiques contemporaines.

  Deposits of metal objects in archaeological contexts during Late Antiquity

  Ce colloque sur les dépôts d’objets métalliques en contexte archéologique durant l’Antiquité tardive dans les provinces gauloises et limitrophes a pour objectif de discuter de la nature et de l’interprétation de ces ensembles, qu’ils aient été déposés à des fins de thésaurisation, de récupération ou rituelles. Une attention particulière sera portée aux contextes de découverte. Ce colloque s’intéressera aux dépôts comportant uniquement des objets métalliques et à ceux qui associent des objets métalliques et de d’autres type de matériaux, qu’ils s’agissent de dépôt simple (avec un seul type d’objets) ou complexe (avec plusieurs catégories fonctionnelles d’objets déposés), en milieu terrestre ou humide entre le III^e s. et le V^e s. dans les Gaules et dans les provinces voisines (Germanie, Hispanie, Italie, Bretagne).

  From the Page to the Classroom, Crossing Borders

  Interculturality and Children’s Literature

  This symposium is part of a research project focused on the critical analysis of the place of children’s and young adult literature in education on migration. It aims to compile critical bibliographies of picture books and novels for children and young adults dealing with migration, in order to determine to what extent these are pertinent tools to broach migratory issues with children and young people, whether they are migrant or of migrant parents themselves or not. The two strands of the project are: first, the literary analysis of the figure of the migrant in texts, in French and English, aimed at a young readership; then, the identification and deconstruction, in an educational context, of racialising biases that stem from a stereotyped creation of migrancy.

  Values, combat sports and martial arts: myths and legends under the science proofs

  The 17th edition of JORRESCAM (Journées de réflexion et de recherches sur les sports de combat et les arts martiaux) will take place in Arradon (France). The proximity of the Brocéliande forest was a factor in the choice of theme for this event, which examines the representations (Jodelet, 1995) of martial arts and combat sports practitioners, as well as of the general public, whether lay or professional. All disciplines are called upon to discuss these dimensions, from the biological sciences to the human and social sciences, as well as management, information and communication sciences.

  Propaganda and Influence: New Historiographical Perspectives

  Post-truth, fake news, infodemic, virality, soft power, hybrid warfare, political technology, influencer... New expressions intermingle with old ones – suggestion, propaganda, disinformation, manipulation, censorship – to describe the alarming evolution of various manipulative practices. These new terms and warnings often obscure the continuity of the older practices and their shared origins. By adopting an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, this conference seeks to unite researchers studying the practices of influence across different times and places, with a shared commitment to historicizing these phenomena.

  Anthologies and anthological forms in Europe during WW2 (1939-45)

  Recent research on literary translation into French in France and Belgium between 1940 and 1944 has revealed that, during the German Occupation, a significant number of anthologies of translated texts were published in France, both as standalone volumes and in periodicals. What happens if we move beyond the French-speaking world to the broader European context during World War II? Is a similar phenomenon documented in other countries? If so, are there notable “anthological phenomena” associated with specific works, genres, or authors? This conference will employ both qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide the most detailed and nuanced account possible of a literary phenomenon that remains largely unexplored.
