  From Invisibility to Visibility #4

  Invisibles in arts and cinema

  This study day will focus on the (re)presentation of the invisible in the arts and cinema in order to analyse the way these art forms have looked at these figures of the unseen, the imperceptible or the “unshowable”, and to see to what extent they have been able to contribute to the de-marginalisation of certain populations by giving them a face.

  Researchning beyond words

  Investigating architectural research by drawing

  Ce colloque centré sur les productions hors des mots des chercheurs propose d’interroger plus particulièrement les représentations visuelles dessinées en situation de recherche. En considérant les modes de fabrication des dessins, les méthodes dans lesquelles ils s’inscrivent et les outils qu’ils mobilisent, nous souhaitons ouvrir des questionnements épistémologiques sur la recherche en architecture et sur ce que l’on pourrait nommer la « recherche par le dessin ».

  Pilgrimages on the Western Front of the First World War: from the end of the war to contemporary practices

  La première guerre mondiale a duré quatre ans et s’est déroulée sur pas moins de onze théâtres d’opérations à travers le monde. Des millions de personnes y ont perdu la vie. C’est finalement le front occidental qui a causé le plus de pertes humaines et où s’est décidée l’issue de la guerre. Pendant la guerre elle-même, au gré des gains territoriaux, les soldats sont retournés dans les cimetières provisoires où leurs camarades étaient tombés. Dès la fin de la guerre et durant les décennies qui ont suivi, des dizaines de milliers d’anciens combattants, de familles de défunts et de délégations officielles ont entrepris des pèlerinages sur les champs de bataille à la recherche de proches disparus dans un vaste mouvement d’hommage collectif ou individuel sans précédent dans l’histoire.

  Exposing and punishing "forgery"

  The policing of professions in the early modern era (15th-18th centuries)

  The aim of this conference is to examine the uses of the notion of ‘forgery’ in policing any given trade or economic activity in the early modern town and/or its peripheries. In other words, to question whether there existed one or more models of such suitable policing through the qualification of what was ‘fraud’. To state the ‘fraudulent’ character of a thing implied mobilizing an expertise, but also to recall and endorse an authority, including and perhaps especially in a context of existing competing jurisdictions, or standards. Is this accusation based primarily on legal, economic, social or religious dimensions? Is pointing at ’fraud’ a manner of making room for obedience or prohibitions, in search of the integrity of goods, prices and services to the public, or on the contrary a manner of circumscribing a status to the happy few? Does this accusation draw lines to exclude, serve to include by means of a constrained procedure, or merely reaffirm an existing rule?

  Forests in transitions. Concepts, methodes, assessments and prospective

  The symposium, international and interdisciplinary, will address a topical issue: forests, in all their diversity. They appear to be in “crisis” at a time of climate change, and their management is raising concerns. The subject will be approached from the angle of transitions, taking into account the polysemy of the concept: transition of the forests themselves; concept of forest transition; ecological, environmental, energy transitions... The purpose is to question the changes underway as a result of climate change, in connection with or in response to it, within the framework of mitigation and/or adaptation strategies. But other evolutionary factors need to be taken into account: the “greening” of society, other pressures arising from the Anthropocene, belonging to global change. These transitions will be questioned through 3 axes: 1) Concepts et methods; 2) Assessments et analysis ; 3) Prospective.

  Regions in evolution. Transitions, renewal and emerging forms of regionalisation

  The aim of this special issue is to update the analysis of the region in geography and spatial planning, with regard to current socio-territorial dynamics in a time of environmental transition. Reflecting the plasticity and polysemy of the concept of the region, the approach is deliberately broad. We are interested not only in the changes in existing regions – in spatial, territorial, socio-political terms among others –, but also in the forms and modes of regionalisation that emerge at different scales, more or less informal or formalised, and in different territorial or maritime contexts. The underlying question being how these -“neo-regions” respond to certain social needs or specific political challenges, or how they interact with the more institutional or formalised regions and territorial authorities.

  Résidence de chercheurs invités - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

  Visiting researchers residency - ERC AGRELITA (2024)

  Until now the reception history of ancient Greece in pre-modern Western Europe has focused almost exclusively on the transmission of Greek texts. Yet well before the revival of Greek teaching, numerous vernacular works, often illustrated, contained elaborate representations of ancient Greece. AGRELITA studies a large corpus of French language literary works (historical, fictional, poetic, didactic ones) produced from 1320 to the 1550s in France and Europe, before the first direct translations from Greek to French, as well as the images of their manuscripts and printed books. The project “The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550) : how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities”, directed by Catherine Gaullier-Bougassas, opens guest researchers residencies.

  François Hotman

  Un homme d’action, entre droit, histoire et théologie

  François Hotman (1524-1590) was born five hundred years ago. To mark the occasion, we thought it a good idea to dedicate to him an international conference in Geneva on November 21-22, 2024. A famous Calvinist jurisconsult, a virulent pamphleteer and a political thinker who is now part of the European philosophical tradition, Hotman remains a figure whom research only embraces through a few major works that receive recurring scrutiny. In reality, his writings as a humanist and jurist, his international correspondence, his connections with the most important Protestant theologians of the century, and his family of Ligue and royal officers are all objects of study that call for a re-problematisation of our interpretation of this dominant figure in Calvinist legal thought.

On the one hand, it will analyse the insertion processes and experiences of mobile people in the worlds of work (and labour markets), On the other hand, it will look at the mechanisms and actors involved in migrants’ professional integration, particularly in the South. How do migrants generate income in transit places or destinations, how do they live their daily work lives, and what are the social and power relations they are confronted with?

  Emotions, masculinities, and violence from the Middle Ages to the present

  This conference proposes to question the evolution of violence over the long term. The articulation between masculinities, violence and emotions adopts different forms and stakes according to the historical context in which it occurred. Thus, the symposium will seeks to highlight the cultural stakes and the specific imaginary, as violence is defined in variable ways depending on historical, geographical, and discursive contexts. Therefore, the first objective will be to address the problem of sources: their production varied according to the aeras, which impacts the representation of the relationship between violence, gender and emotions.

  The precious object: a total social fact?

  The international symposium “The precious object: a total social fact? [L'objet précieux: un fait social total?]” (INHA, April 25 and 26, 2024) invites researchers from all fields of the social sciences, from anthropology to economics, from philosophy to sociology, from the history of the arts to that of the techniques and work, to examine the precious object, and jewelry in particular, especially through the prism of value and creation. This initiative, part of a wider EHESS-Cartier collaboration, aims to stimulate a wide-ranging reflection on this interdisciplinary theme par excellence.

  Documenting and Conserving Postmodern Heritage

  “Les Cahiers : Journal for the Study of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape”

  Les Cahiers: Journal for the Study of Architecture, Urbanism and Landscape (Craup) launches its 21^st thematic dossier “Documenting and Conserving Postmodern Heritage”. This call for papers invites exploration of postmodern design —whether architectural, urban or landscape— produced anywhere in the world between 1966 and 1989, and currently undergoing processes of identification, heritagization or transformation. Some questions that may be explored are methods for identifying and promoting heritage, the specific features of these projects and the (new) heritage values associated with them, as well as their material and symbolic sustainability. International comparisons or overviews of ongoing heritage projects in specific political and cultural contexts are welcomed.

  An environmental history of work and labour

  The Réseau universitaire de chercheurs et chercheuses en histoire environnementale (RUCHE, French-speaking network in environmental history, founded in 2009) and the Association française pour l’histoire des mondes du travail (AFHMT, French network for work and labour history, founded in 2013), organize this international joint conference, which aims to put this interdependence into historical perspective. Its ambition is, on the one hand, to contribute to a stronger dialogue between these two major historiographical fields (work/labour and the environment) and, on the other hand, to bring back on the agenda the long-standing but yet unachieved project of an environmental history of work.

  Methodological approaches to gender and heteronormativity in sources

  This seminar and its upcoming publication under different formats aim at questioning the role played by gender studies in the analysis of the sources used by researchers, while also interrogating the scientific methods used to comprehend the said sources (whether they be archival, legal, literary, iconographic or ethnographic sources). The goal of this seminar is to confront the different methodological approaches of gender that researchers may have in the sources they use, through the lens of heteronormativity.

  Stage and Plate: Eating and Starving in European Drama and Theatres (16th-19th century)

  Revue « European Drama and Performance Studies »

  Évoquer la nourriture et son pendant, la faim, nécessite une approche plurielle pour comprendre le rôle, la consommation et l’envie de nourriture sur scène et hors scène, de la Renaissance à la Belle-Époque. Il s’agit d’examiner sa préparation et sa présence dans les théâtres, sa représentation et son idéalisation, les rituels et l’étiquette qui lui sont associés, et d’explorer des sujets interdépendants tels que les habitudes alimentaires, le poids et le corps. Comment la nourriture ou la faim sont-elles représentées sur scène ? Dans quelle mesure la nourriture reflète-t-elle les habitudes sociales et les activités de loisirs, met-elle en avant les plats à la mode ou les nouveaux produits sur le marché ? Comment les dramaturges et les acteurs utilisent-ils la nourriture ou son absence à travers des expressions verbales, des personnages ou des actions scéniques ?

  Consultants seen through the lens of employment, market and production

  More and more “international” and “national” consultants are involved in the production of public policy under “aid regime”. However, there is still little research on this broad and heterogeneous category of professionals. At the crossroads of the sociology of work, of professions and professional groups, the sociology of markets and the sociology of public action, this panel seeks to analyse how the marketing of development expertise is transforming the market for skilled labour, government services and the production of public action in aid societies.
