European war ruins and their uses (19th-21st century)

Today, the terrible sight of the destruction in Ukraine awakens memories throughout Europe of the war landscapes of earlier conflicts, from the Napoleonic Wars to the war in former Yugoslavia. The aim of the conference is to explore the relationship that post-war societies have with the vestiges of conflict and the marks of war violence. Through the political, social, economic, cultural and memorial uses of these particular vestiges, the relationship with a traumatic past will be explored.

Agriculture, food and crises: challenges, strategies and innovations

Revue « Études caribéennes »

The populations of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), much more than those of other continental countries, are facing crises of different natures which threaten their ability to meet their basic food needs much more than other continental countries. In the intention to resolve these problems, several national and international actors have tried to combine their efforts in order to intervene, through different programs and projects, aimed at acting on the food and agricultural systems. These actions, as desirable as they may be, are not without undesirable costs for the environment. Some of these costs are detrimental to the sustainability of these systems. Thus, scientific and even philosophical reflections are necessary to address these questions.

For a History of University Settings in Quebec (19th-20th centuries)

This call for papers is a continuation of the panel “Un renouveau de l’histoire des milieux universitaires au Québec ? Trajectoires inédites et mobilisations des savoirs”, which was organised as part of the annual conference of the Institut d’histoire de l’Amérique française. The call is for a thematic issue to be published in Revue d’histoire de l’éducation / Historical Studies in Education in spring 2025. It aims at bringing together current research on the history of universities (French- and English-speaking) in Quebec in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in order to connect different approaches and objects, while also demonstrating the relevance of considering universities as orbital centres, both practically and heuristically, for future research.

Visual Ecologies: Image experiences and lives in the age of Capitalocene

While “ecology” refers in a general sense to the science that studies the relationships of living beings with each other and with their environment, it is also used more locally and transitively to qualify the study of a specific environment. Similarly, while visual ecology can be broadly understood as a relational study of the visual field, it also seems possible to imagine more singular visual ecologies, localized around a particular imagery (colonial studies, gender studies, femenism studies, ethnic studies, etc.). As such, images are no longer just representations, they are both environments and entities that can be transformed and transformed, forms of action that are part of a pragmatic experience of the world. The ecology of images, images of ecology, the ecological impact of images… the hypothesis formulated for this international colloquium is to think together these major directions between, on the one hand, the question of images and their circulation, and on the other, our climatic and environmental situation.

Fifth Joseph Déchelette European Archaeology Prize

The internationally renowned archaeologist Joseph Déchelette (1862-1914) was one of the founders of European protohistoric archaeology. The Association Joseph Déchelette, founded in 2010 by his great nephew Édouard Déchelette(†), would like to keep the memory of this great scholar alive and promote this discipline. It has therefore teamed up with various partners to establish the Prix Joseph Déchelette with a view to promoting the PhD research of a young archaeologist. This prize, created in 2016, is intended to be awarded every two years. The research that is the subject of the thesis must concern European protohistory, understood in a broad sense, both geographically and chronologically (Bronze age, Iron Age and Romanization). The jury will pay particular attention to the European dimension of the applications.

Interracial Intimacies in France and the French Empire

“French Politics, Culture, and Society” Journal

For more than two decades, scholars have shown how such ostensibly private practices have always been matters of state, with interracial intimacy buttressing, challenging, and even redefining broader social, political, economic, and cultural concerns. French Politics, Culture, and Society seeks contributions to a special issue on interracial intimacy in France and the French empire, co-edited by Elisa Camiscioli and Caroline Séquin, and invites to explore sex, love, conjugality, and desire across the color line in any period of French history.

Activism within internationalist networks

A global history from below

The aim of this conference is to redefine internationalism through its networks and militant practices, working from the macro and micro scales to inscribe it in an extra-European perspective. This prerequisite allows for a recognition of the dialogue between a global history and a “bottom-up” approach. These two approaches contribute to the revival of prosopography and to the redefinition of the hermeneutical challenges of biographical work, particularly when they are grounded in the experience and phenomenology of activist practices, and their geographical and sociological spatialisation. Gender dynamics, Subaltern studies, the Alltagsgeschichte and solidarities will therefore be at the heart of this conference.

Between philosophy and psychoanalysis: the image

Le développement contemporain d’une civilisation de l’image compris comme développement d’une civilisation de la technique, prend une signification toute particulière aujourd’hui, alors que l’essor des technologies numériques et maintenant de l’intelligence artificielle donne au simulacre consistance matérielle et technique, et réciproquement à l’image une dimension virtuelle, voire spectrale, décisive. Qu’entend-on alors exactement par image ? La notion même de civilisation de l’image, du point de vue de l’analyse des médias et des intermédialités, comme du point de vue psychanalytique de l’analyse du sujet et de son rapport au monde, comme dans la prise en compte phénoménologique de l’empreinte que le monde laisse en nous, suppose que l’image aurait pris la place de quelque chose, ou aurait occupé un territoire qui ne lui était pasprimitivement dévolu. C’est cette place, ce territoire, que ce numéro de la revue Rubriques se propose d’aborder.

Reading and picking up texts. The excerption signs and their form, uses and purposes (6th-12th centuries)

By bringing together historians, philologists, paleographers and codicologists, this conference aims to reflect on a category of annotations visible in texts preserved in medieval Latin manuscripts through case studies: excerption marks or extraction marks. Isolating portions of texts for later re-use, these marks, composed of an initial and a final sign and written by readers, are indicative of the preparation of intellectual undertakings. The aim is to provide an initial overview of excerption practices (typology, uses, distribution, etc.) over several centuries (6th-12th c.).

The constrained image

The place, form and function of iconography in the decorative and precious arts

The design of an objet d'art is marked by the constant search for a balance between functionality and materiality, structure and decoration. Its initial utilitarian dimension - which is its raison d'être - proves to be a limiting factor, as the symbolic discourse that we wish to attribute to it, developed through iconography and ornamentation, comes up against the technical realities of its construction. At first glance, the visualisation of an iconographic theme is constrained by the shape of the object it adorns. Thought to be an impediment to creation, this form logically condemns the object to being no more than a conventional presence, a reference model endlessly repeated from one work to the next. The aim of this study day is to explore the place of iconography in the decorative and precious arts, insofar as it must conform to the structural imperatives of the object it decorates.

Africanity on the move

Ce colloque tente de mettre en lumière de nouvelles lectures relatives au phénomène migratoire en Afrique, ses enjeux économique, socioculturel et politique en s’appuyant sur l'analyse des médias, la littérature, les documents historiques, le cinéma…. L’objectif est d’interroger la question migratoire dans toute sa complexité, ainsi que la vulnérabilité de la personne migrante, eu égard à sa stigmatisation et aux différentes visions dévalorisantes et/ou valorisantes à son sujet, des discours et des images qui demeurent polémiques et pourraient engendrer des dérapages et des glissements sémantiques, constituant ainsi l’objet d’étude de chercheurs appartenant à différents champs disciplinaires.

The Americans in the western Mediterranean (1942-1945)

Landings, liberation and the "pax americana"

The objective of this meeting is to refocus the history of landings and subsequent military liberation operations in the Western Mediterranean, between 1942 and 1945, from an American perspective. Indeed, from Operation Torch in North Africa to the landing in Provence in August 1944 and the final battles in Italy in the spring of 1945, the United States asserted their decisions over the British within the coalition. Furthermore, the arrival of thousands of American soldiers, coupled with the installation of dozens of military bases in North Africa, Italy, Southern France, and Corsica, was accompanied by the establishment of various administrative structures by the United States to ensure a return to order and to set up a kind of "Pax Americana" according to their own interests. The interactions of these soldiers with the local populations sometimes lead to tensions. The aim, from a comparative perspective, is to go beyond the simple military dimension and broaden the study of this theater of operations to include political, economic, social, and cultural fields.
