Call for papers - Science studies
This symposium is a direct extension of the “Fiction & Social Sciences” meeting organized in May 2024, dedicated to contemporary articulations between fiction devices and social science methodologies. The exchanges initiated on this occasion made it possible to deepen already long-standing reflections on the relationships of competition, tension, but also complementarity between academic and fictional writing, paying particular attention to emerging practices such as fictional investigation. The central challenge was to analyze how the hybridization between the documentary and fictional genres shifts the ways of investigating, writing and reproducing research results.

Négocier l’image. Les pratiques photographiques dialogiques en anthropologie
Revue « Civilisations »
This thematic issue of Civilisations journal seeks to examine dialogical photographic practices in which the image becomes a space of exchange. Particular attention is given to collaborative practices that make photography a site of multidisciplinary intersections and of the co-creation of knowledge and visualities. The issue adopts a transdisciplinary approach, bringing together anthropologists, historians of the image, artists, and practice-based researchers.

Figures et motifs dans les séries télévisées : images et sons en question
While remaining within the field of aesthetics and drawing on formalist analysis, this conference aims to examine the images and sounds of TV series, their figures and motifs, which are all too often overshadowed by theoretical and especially cultural approaches.

Call for papers - Political studies
The relationship between speech and politics is experiencing renewed interest today. Since Foucault, political theory has examined the scope of “speaking truth” as a form of resistance, most recently illustrated by the unleashing of speech in the #MeToo movement. In the age of social media, speech proves deeply ambivalent : it can wound just as much as it can help build a shared world. Theories of recognition remind us that democracy requires all voices to be heard, a condition still far from being fulfilled.

Savoirs endogènes, territoires et durabilité
African Journal of Social Responsibility and Sustainable Management - volume 3, issue 2, 2026
Dans un contexte mondial caractérisé par la convergence de crises écologiques, sociales, sécuritaires et épistémiques, les territoires africains se trouvent confrontés à des choix déterminants quant à leurs trajectoires de développement et leurs modes de gouvernance. La valorisation et la réappropriation de ces savoirs endogènes s’imposent donc comme une réponse stratégique à ces défis, en offrant des alternatives ancrées dans les réalités locales et porteuses d’innovations adaptées.

The Incarnate Secret: The Human Body Between Medicine and Secret Sciences
Revue Arcana Naturae, n°8 (2027)
From the Renaissance up to the thresholds of the 20th century, the human body was never a simple biological object, but a genuine “incarnate secret” and a conceptual nexus at the crossroads of scientific knowledge and occult lore. The body has often been perceived as the greatest of Nature’s secrets. For centuries, the inquiry into the body represented a battlefield and a point of collaboration between disciplines. Particular attention will be paid to the body-as-sign (between manifestation and dissimulation), the body-as-medium (a laboratory for occult forces), and the body-as-science (corporeal epistemology and knowledge

How to teach gender in medicine and health?
Methodological issues and the challenge of interdisciplinarity
In the second half of the 20th century, the introduction of the concept of gender into the social sciences and humanities and into medical sciences restored complexity to the concept of sex, while producing ambivalent effects, notably thecreation of a sex/gender dyad and a divide between the biological and the social. The epistemological heterogeneity of concepts makes dialogue between health careprofessionals and between scientific disciplines difficult, reinforcing newstereotypes in research, clinical practice, and teaching. Interdisciplinary dialogue is necessary in order to teach healthcare professionals about gender and social inequalities in health. How can teaching practices be harmonized without establishing a truth regime about gender?

Emerging Practices in Technologies and Communication for Development
Digital technologies constitute a central factor in the transformation of contemporary societies, with artificial intelligence representing one of their most significant vectors. They simultaneously carry promises of innovation and participation, and act as vectors of dependency, exclusion, and renewed forms of domination. The aim is to explore the tensions that run through the imagination, uses and challenges of artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies, combining critical approaches, field studies and theoretical perspectives.

Long-term, shared experiences: the experience of collective musical improvisation
"Filigrane" Journal #31/2026
Free collective improvisation is commonly presented as a practice that seeks to create a musical performance spontaneously by deliberately avoiding the use of an "explicit referent". In its absence, improvisers rely heavily on their experience to act and react in a performance context, constituted by different socialities, the acoustics of the venue and, more generally, the environment. In the context of a given ensemble that has been practicing regularly over a long period of time, this experience acquired through the events encountered is enriching, both individually and collectively. This experience can be described as leading to a state of "having lived a sufficiently rich life not to be surprised by an unexpected event". In the context of this call for papers, our aim is to carry out an in-depth exploration of the multiple facets of the notion of musical experience, based primarily on observation of the daily practice of improvisers, in public performance but also in rehearsal or in experimental laboratories.

Internment Europe: From Colonial Practices to Contemporary Control
This workshop aims to critically rethink the concept of internment in its various forms, tracing its development from colonial practices to today's 'detention archipelagos' in migration regimes. By the term “internment” - therefore declined in the plural - we mean all forms of imprisonment, forced segregation such as confinement, containment, encampment, concentration, etc. that aim to remove/enclose individuals or entire populations in prisons, camps, places otherwise adapted for this purpose.

Anti-colonial solidarities: Navigating literary coresistance
The aim of this conference is to initiate a collective reflection on the relationships that, through literature, forge active resistance to colonial structures. How can the practices that develop around literature (writing, co-writing, rewriting, theoretical studies, translations) constitute spaces of coresistance and solidarity?

Praise for the historian’s craft: What's new?
Or historical experience and its epistemological sublimation
Taking the example of Marc Bloch as its starting point, this workshop is not intended as a tribute to the man he was, nor as an exegesis of his work. Rather, it invites us to engage in a kind of role-playing, in which we take up Marc Bloch's question: are we in a position to propose new appraisals for the historian’s craft? This workshop is organized around two major themes: the epistemology of history today, and the experience lived by the professional researcher in troubled times.

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. »

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).

“Image of devotion”, a concept to be deconstructed?
Historiographical approaches to devotional images in Europe (14th-18th centuries)
Drawing on a variety of approaches and corpora (both geographical and chronological), the goal of the event is to collectively interrogate the generic concept of “devotional images” from historiographical, epistemological, and terminological perspectives.

Unwriting with Photography : Collaborative and Visual Anthropology
Le concept d’« unwriting » invite à repenser la transmission des savoirs en ethnologie en dehors du cadre traditionnel de l’écriture scientifique. Nous proposons d’explorer comment les approches dialogiques (Bakhtine, 1970 ; Turri Hoelken, 2024), visuelles et artistiques peuvent constituer des manières alternatives de raconter des histoires, en travaillant de façon collaborative avec les interlocuteur·ices tout au long du processus de recherche.

La modalité dans la musique française à l’orée du XXe siècle : héritages et évolutions
Modality in French Music at the Turn of the Twentieth Century: Legacies and Evolutions
À l’aube du XXe siècle, la France joue un rôle clé dans la préservation et la transmission des langages modaux hérités des musiques grecque et médiévale, mais aussi dans leur développement et leur enrichissement. Il s’agira de dresser un bilan, analytique autant que théorique, sur cet épanouissement de la musique modale en France.
