    Spaces of Confinement: Memories of Repression and Coloniality

    À l’occasion du 88e anniversaire de l’ouverture du camp de concentration colonial de Tarrafal, dans l’archipel du Cap-Vert (29 Octobre 1936 – 29 Octobre 2024), ce colloque international vise à élargir le débat sur les pratiques anciennes et nouvelles de l’enfermement, dans leurs multiples déclinaisons et modalités. D’une part, il s’agit d’aborder la forme camp dans une perspective historique ainsi que les différentes pratiques de l’incarcération coloniale. D’autre part, l’intention de ce colloque est de réfléchir de manière large et transdisciplinaire sur les espaces, les mémoires, les récits et les expériences de détention, et sur la manière dont leurs héritages marquent la généalogie des pratiques contemporaines d’enfermement.

    Animation in Africa and the Arab world

    From Geneses to Present Day: challenges and perspectives

    Arab and African animation has come into the spotlight, gaining more visibility in international festivals by virtue of a renewal of interest and curiosity for these societies since the popular uprising of 2011. The primary aim of this conference is to bring attention to film production that is still barely explored in film discursive practices and to expand the existing knowledge base on film and animation. The second objective is to map the theoretical field of African and Arab animation by approaching it as a whole.

    Sociolinguistic, Semiotic, and Cultural Forms of Transmission

    Le travail du traducteur et celui de l’anthropologue se rejoignent dans leur quête de sens et de transmission de la diversité culturelle. Alors que le traducteur tente de rendre un texte accessible, culturellement parlant, à un nouveau public tout en respectant son contexte original ; l’anthropologue cherche à dévoiler les significations implicites et les dynamiques internes de la population étudiée. C’est ainsi que l’intégration de la diversité culturelle est primordiale dans un contexte où les deux sphères, traduction et anthropologie, sont décidément proches en matière d’interaction sociolinguistique et culturelle.

    Ethnic and Religious Minorities and their Media in the English-speaking world

    This one-day conference, organized by GRER-ICT Les Europes dans le monde (UR 337, Université Paris Cité) and IHRIM (Université Clermont Auvergne) is dedicated to illuminating a crucial yet underexplored area: the media (written press, radio, television, internet, etc.) of ethnic and/or religious minorities in Great Britain, the United States, South Africa, and other English-speaking countries. These minority media, operating on the fringes of the dominant mainstream media, are not just a significant platform, but also an essential lifeline for the ethnic and/or religious minorities they represent.

    Discoveries and Dialogues: Online Exchanges in Foreign Language Learning

    The objective of this study day is to bring together experts in language teaching and learning to analyze the role of online interactions and exchanges in language learning. Foreign language learning has long been thought to be unique in the field of education, because of its inherently social nature ; indeed, mastering a language requires using it for communication.

    Detours through the works of Jane Austen

    This comparative literature conference devoted to Jane Austen will be an opportunity to undertake further excursions into the work of the famous novelist. Papers may draw parallels between Austen's novels and those of other authors from the long nineteenth century, take an interest in characters left out of the story, propose counterpoints for reading and analysis or even venture into the counter-fields of the work, in an attempt to understand what continues to fuel Austenmania today.

    Voix

    Revue « Terrain » n° 84

    This special issue of Terrain focuses on the acoustic, phonic and embodied qualities of the voice, ­as well as on its pragmatic effects across a range of situations and cultural contexts. To this end, we use the term “vocality” to capture the material and agentive aspects of vocal sounds, their complex entanglements with speech, and the concrete interactions within which they take shape. We propose to explore how various dimensions in the production of spoken and sung sounds (prosody, rhythm, timbre, breath, voicing, cries, etc.) and modes of listening are socially and culturally arranged, so as to build relationships, frames and imaginaries, which in turn enable specific forms of action and communication.

    Gender/s and Sexuality/ies in the History of Western Philosophy

    From a historical standpoint, one would like to question various philosophical discourses about gender and sexuality, in order to analyze and enlighten their specific conceptuality. We encourage contributions of specialists in Ancient, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy, questioning the way in which the concepts of sex or gender fit or resist to the larger doctrine in which they appear. From a critical standpoint, one would like to question the ideological power of these discourses: the way in which they do not only relay historical prejudices, but contribute to form and justify common beliefs about gender which still inform our actual ways of thinking about it. In this sense, we encourage contributions that intend to start from the critical tradition (social or poststructuralist, feminist or ecofeminist), in order to reconsider particular philosophical works, from the most famous ones to the less known texts in the history of western philosophy.

    Discourses, Realities and Representations of Defiance

    Literatures, Cultures and Civilisations of the Anglo-Saxon World, Commonwealth and BRICS countries

    The conference theme, understanding defiance in the Anglo-Saxon world, Commonwealth, and BRICS countries, is of significant importance in the field of humanities and social sciences. We aim to identify, at various points in their histories, how defiance is constructed and understood in the sense of 'challenge' that the French word défiance shares with the English noun defiance - which appeared in the early 14th century under the influence of the French word desfiance. Your research and insights will contribute to our collective understanding of this crucial aspect.  This conference is part of the debate opened up by Nancy Nyquist Potter (2016) in her introduction to her eulogy of defiance.

    Disunions. Church-initiated separation of couples in the Catholic world (12th c. - 21st c.)

    "What God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mk 10:2-16). In certain circumstances, the Catholic Church may however exercise this right, usually at the request of one of the spouses, but sometimes on its own initiative. Although canon law does not recognize divorce, since the Middle Ages representatives of the Church have endeavored to bring about the separation of certain couples. All these unions have been considered by the Church to be in contradiction to canon law, ecclesiastical discipline, the definition of Christian marriage or Christian morality. Recent scholarship has enabled us to gain a better understanding of matrimonial separations initiated by the spouses in the Middle Ages and the Modern period. The objective of this workshop is to tackle a rarer case, one that has scarcely been addressed by historians to date: that of separations initiated by the Church.

    Revue « Soin, sens et santé. An International Journal of the Health Humanities »

    This issue is devoted to the relationship between food and care from the perspective of the humanities, social sciences (history, anthropology, sociology, political science), art, and literature. The notion of care is to be considered here in its broadest sense, ranging from "paying attention" to a strictly sanitary perspective, from the physiological to the social and political.

    Perception and practice of health among the Akan people

    This transdisciplinary conference aims to analyse traditional and modern health perceptions, practices and knowledge among the Akan. Each contribution, whether the fruit of in-depth analysis, personal experience of health, or an academic perspective, will contribute to the 'glocalization' of understanding of the health system and practices in the Akan world.

    Creativity and Teaching in the Age of Chatbots

    Il est indéniable que les nouvelles technologies ont apporté des changements profonds dans tous les domaines de la société, y compris l’enseignement. Les nouvelles approches pédagogiques, telles que l’apprentissage personnalisé et adaptatif, l’utilisation de la réalité virtuelle et augmentée, ou encore l’intégration des chatbots et des assistants intelligents, offrent de nouvelles possibilités pour rendre l’enseignement plus attractif et efficace. Cependant, il est important de s’interroger sur la manière dont ces nouvelles technologies peuvent être intégrées de manière pertinente dans les méthodologies de recherche académiques. Comment garantir la validité et la fiabilité des données collectées grâce à ces outils ? Comment mesurer l’impact réel de ces nouvelles approches sur l’apprentissage des étudiants ? Que doit-on changer du côté de l’enseignant et du côté des régimes d’études ?

    Architectural photography

    Séminaire Japarchi

    La « photographie d’architecture (kenchiku shashin 建築写真) » est un sujet vaste et protéiforme, puisque cette notion sera envisagée différemment par les architectes, les urbanistes, les décorateurs d’intérieur, les promoteurs, les éditeurs, les photographes amateurs, les photographes professionnels commissionnés, ou encore les artistes photographes, pour ne citer que quelques profils. C’est justement cette confrontation des acceptions et des utilisations qui nous intéresse. En effet, alors que la photographie d’architecture fait preuve d’une monstration large et régulière depuis le XIXe siècle, par le biais d’albums, de magazines dédiés, de publications en série, d’ouvrages ponctuels, et d’expositions, il n’existe aujourd’hui aucune étude approfondie qui en permette une compréhension globale. Nous souhaitons donc poursuivre sur ce projet de recherche qui vise à définir cette notion en déployant toute sa complexité.

    Dealing with the Aftermath of Violence: Institutions and Players in the 20th and 21st centuries

    Héros, martyrs, anciens combattants, bourreaux, criminels, victimes, blessés, mutilés, disparus, morts, endeuillés - femmes, hommes et enfants. Telles sont les figures qui naissent ou peuvent naître de l’« expérience paroxystique de violence » (C. Ingrao, Le soleil noir du paroxysme…). Loin de former des catégories pré-établies, ces attributions se trouvent au contraire sans cesse redéfinies par les individus qui s’en revendiquent – ou pas – comme par les institutions qui les décernent – ou non. Comment ces dernières prennent-elles alors en charge ces acteurs sociaux singuliers dans le temps plus ou moins long des « sorties de guerre » (B. Cabanes, G. Piketty, Retour à l’intime…), ou plus largement des « sortie[s] de la violence » (M. Wieviorka, « Sortir de la violence ») ?

    Migrations and Security

    In the past few decades, migration control has become a common political answer for many States. This topical collection aims at refining how social sciences analyse the migration/security nexus and what challenges researchers face studying this topic. Bringing together contributions from various fields and disciplines, this publication highlights two issues: the institutionalization of migration control, and the researcher’s epistemological vigilance with regard to the notion of security in the practices he or she is studying. The topical collection offers an avenue for assessing the extension of security rationale to migration issues, while questioning the use of concepts from security studies at the expense or complementary to other concepts and perspectives.

    International Conference on Constructed Languages (2024)

    The International Conference on Constructed Languages (I-CONLANG II, 2024) offers a forum dedicated to multidisciplinary research on constructed languages. The study of constructed languages is the site of a proliferation of ideas and innovations in the linguistic field, which challenge the human ability to provide new forms of linguistic expression, for wide-ranging purposes. This phenomenon is not only relevant in linguistics, but in many other disciplines in the human sciences, as well as in the arts and letters, and this extends far beyond academic circles. The creation of a constructed language may have various purposes, but their study reveals a common set of questions, which the Conference intends to address.

    The Sound of Amateur Cinema

    Ce colloque porte sur les pratiques sonores liées au cinéma amateur. Celui-ci est généralement considéré comme muet jusqu'à l’apparition de caméras sonores accessibles aux amateurs. Pourtant, de nombreuses sources attestent, dès les années 1930, d’une pratique de l’enregistrement sonore à des fins de sonorisation, et des enregistrements existent. L’arrivée du magnétophone à bande a contribué à diffuser plus largement l’usage du son enregistré dans le cinéma amateur. Le son associé au cinéma amateur reste toutefois très peu étudié, autant à l’université que dans les cinémathèques et centres d'archives. Ce colloque fait le point sur le sujet, en conciliant les approches techniques, culturelles et archivistiques, afin de faire se rencontrer universitaires, archivistes, techniciens, et cinéastes amateurs.
