Conference, symposium - History
Space and scale in missionary agency (1880–1920)
The symposium revolves around the question of the agency of the Christian missionaries and their sending organizations which have been, to varying degrees, major actors of social and cultural mutations among the people and societies they worked with. Through the diverse presentations from scholars of various geographical and academic fields, we hope to get a better understanding of the impact of European and North American Christian missions at the turn of the twentieth century, and spur greater interest on this subject.

Religions, Individuals, and Communities in the Americas
Revue interdisciplinaire de travaux sur les Amériques (RITA) n°18
As recurring objects of analysis running the whole gamut of humanities and social sciences, the ties between religions, communities, and the individuals within them have constantly been used to gauge tensions within social structures. All the more so on the American continent, where the destructive spiral of colonization set off waves of migration, and the pluralism within the communities and religions from the Northwest Territories to Tierra del Fuego delineates both their differences and similarities. Is there such a thing as specifically American structures when it comes to religions and communities? That is one of the questions posed by the present 18th issue of RITA.

Call for papers - Early modern
The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 marks the last step of the Order’s progressive dissolution initiated fifteen years earlier, in Europe and in its colonies. This act of suppression was the culmination of a broader secularisation movement concerning religious congregations across Europe, from the 1760s to the French Revolution. Whether driven by reformatory or by economic interests, all acts of suppression and secularisation had the same consequences: a large number of movable assets and real property, estates and art works were either reallocated to other religious congregations or put on sale, when not confiscated altogether. Several studies have already investigated the dispersal of abolished congregations’ assets in different parts of Enlightened Europe, but a broader overview is yet to be drawn.

Infrastructures, Practices, Publics
Small textual and material forms seem particularly adept at circulating within and between different publics. This conference investigates how the movement of brief, compressed, and otherwise small forms ranging from early modern pamphlets to Instagram stories shape the development of diverse publics, as well as the interplay between them. We propose to explore the relationship between small forms and publics through three related strands of inquiry: how infrastructures affect the circulation of small forms, how practices including remediation enable their circulation, and how the circulation of small forms shapes the formation, operation, and dissolution of public life.

Lapidariums. Precious sources for the history of a monument and its sculpted decoration
"In Situ" Journal n°53 – 2025
The French term ‘dépôt lapidaire’, a lapidary depot, rendered here as a lapidarium, is understood to mean collections of archaeological or architectural fragments and pieces of sculpture, assembled so as to maintain an organic link with the monument or the site they come from. The time seems to be ripe, then, as the topic as a whole takes on numerous forms, to draw up a general, if provisional analysis of the situation. It seems useful to think about how best to share information coming from different sectors (historic monuments, archaeology, museums and parks and gardens). New lines of action can perhaps be sketched out for a new phase for these very special cultural properties, located at the frontiers between the movable and immovable heritage.

When the archaeological object is a historical subject
Perception, function and reception of artefacts
In the wake of the material turn and following the example of the television programme Faire l'histoire presented by Patrick Boucheron on Arte, the aim of this event is to reflect on the definition, role and understanding of artefacts. Encompassing a wide historical period and geographical area, our aim is to examine both the history of the archaeological object itself and the archaeological object in history. This interdisciplinary approach will allow us to compare points of view on a subject at the heart of current issues.

Music and right-wing movements
“Transposition. Music and social sciences” n°13 (2025)
The issue 13 of Transposition aims to provide an overview of the relationships between music and right-wing political movements in the contemporary world. If music is both an aesthetic and a social phenomenon that can contribute to our understanding of the world, is there a specifically musical way of thinking about and defining the political category of the right? With a view to questioning the contribution of music to the evolution of right-wing ways of thinking and acting, and vice versa, proposals may focus as much on actors as on institutions, as well as on the aesthetic scope of artistic productions.

For a world history of the circus from Antiquity to the present day
The aim of this conference is to decompartmentalise these historiographies by inviting researchers in history and, more broadly, in the arts and the social sciences (performing arts, art history, sociology, anthropology, etc.), as well as those involved in the artistic and cultural world, to combine their approaches. This conference sees itself as a first step towards a world history of the circus, while being aware of the limits of such an undertaking. The historiography of the circus is recent, and many aspects remain unexplored. There is a lack of works that build bridges between different national histories. Moreover, some of them have not yet been written. The history of the circus in certain regions of the world and at certain periods remains largely unknown. Consequently, papers taking a local approach may be proposed if they draw attention to these areas where the history of the circus has yet to be written. However, the emphasis will be on comparative or connected, global or even worldwide approaches. The aim will be to highlight intercultural dynamics rather than local particularities.

First interdisciplinary approach to World Nights September
The interdisciplinary colloquium on “Nights of the South” will provide an opportunity for researchers from different disciplines, artists, association leaders, practitioners and elected officials from many countries to take stock of this work on and in the Global South. The aim will be to better understand the evolution of urban and rural nightlife and the ways of living and inhabiting nights at different scales according to cultures, countries, territories, cities; to identify evolutions, tensions, inequalities of access, but also strategies for the development or protection of nights carried out by different actors; and to reflect upon the preferred forms of governance of the night.

Les énoncés identitaires ne cessent d’occuper une place importante dans le champ des études linguistiques dans la mesure où ils constituent, d’une part, le lieu privilégié où jaillissent les représentations collectives, et ils remplissent des fonctions sociales et culturelles diverses dans la vie quotidienne, d’autre part. L’objectif pivot de notre recherche consiste, donc, à détecter le volet culturel et identitaire dans une communication numérique.

Exchanges, Mobility and Collaborations
The World of Silk Between France and Italy, 16th-19th Century
This workshop aims to consider Franco-Italian relations concerning silk from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century by fostering dialogue between research that has hitherto been separated by historiographical tradition, particularly combining history and art history. This interdisciplinary approach is all the more essential as it seeks to scrutinize through the same set of inquiries the entire silk production chain (from mulberry cultivation to fabric consumption, including thread manufacturing and preparation, pattern creation, and weaving). By revealing the importance of interdependencies among the various stages of the production and consumption process and the different actors within this industry, this approach leads to new considerations of the connections between the social worlds and the territories that silk interlinked.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology
From tubers to rice, from barley to wheat. Cultural and Food Transitions
Séminaire d’anthropologie diachronique
Le thème « Des tubercules au riz, de l’orge au blé... Transitions culturales et alimentaires », est abordé dans une double approche ethnologique/anthropologique et archéologique et dans une dimension diachronique et comparative, c’est-à-dire à la fois spatiale et temporelle. À partir d’exemples ethnographiques, historiques et archéologiques, on tentera de cerner contextes et raisons du changement cultural survenu dans des aires culturelles et/ou historiques marquées jadis par la chasse-collecte ou l’horticulture délaissées au profit de l’agriculture et de l’élevage et surtout, dans des régions et sociétés longtemps caractérisées par la mise en culture et la consommation d’un tubercule ou d’une céréale particulière dominante, les raisons de l’abandon de celui-ci ou de celle-ci au profit d’une plante importée.

Cultural and Creative Industries in Africa and the Arab World
The main objective of this first edition of the International Conference on Cultural Engineering and Heritage Development is to approach the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) in African and Arab contexts and their evolution in the era of postmodernism; era that is characterized by focus on knowledge, intangibility and digitalization. While the core of CCIs remains in works of art, artistic expressions, cultural heritage, and traditional know-how, the production and reproduction models of art and culture have continued to reinvent themselves, as is the case with those of creation. Thus, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the main themes of this conference focus on the complexity of CCIs in Africa and the Arab world, their specificities, and the issues their development generates.
