Margins and boundaries in linguistic categorization

Categorization is a basic cognitive process. The classical view of categorization considers categories as clear-cut and homogeneous – no element can belong to two distinct categories, and all the elements within a category have the same status. However, Rosch’s [1973] research in psychology posits that categories are organized around a central element called “prototype”, with other elements moving progressively further from it. Lexis – Journal in English Lexicology – will publish its 22^nd issue in 2023 on the topic “Margins and boundaries in linguistic categorization”.

From disability to human variation. Old narratives, new narratives

European and American societies 19th-21st centuries

The title of this issue of Amnis journal, ‘From disability to human variation’, reflects the concern of disability studies to move away from thinking of disability as a stigma and to consider it within a vast field that embraces all forms of bodily, sensory and cognitive diversity within the human community. In order to address the question from a broad spectrum, papers should focus on the following areas: Disabilities, struggles and social movements (from exclusion to ‘nothing about us without us’), Disability policies (national and/or transnational historical approaches), Disabled bodies and ideological constructs, Disability and identity, a category to be understood in an intersectional way.

Legal humanism, eloquence and rhetoric

Composante essentielle du renouveau intellectuel européen, le courant dit « humanisme juridique » (it. Umanesimo giuridico, angl. Legal Humanism, all. humanistische Jurisprudenz), particulièrement fécond aux XV^e et XVI^e siècles, se définit par une approche des textes hérités du droit romain qui s’oppose et en même temps complète les traditions médiévales de la glose et du commentaire. Des chercheurs travaillant sur l’humanisme juridique ont décidé de créer un groupe de travail qui les rassemble. Il s’agit de faciliter la convergence, l’échange et la mise en commun de ressources entre les spécialistes partenaires, qui ressentent le besoin d’approfondir leurs connaissances de façon complémentaire et souhaitent la mise en place d’une action commune et coordonnée dans le domaine de l’humanisme juridique.

Deux post-doctorats pour le projet « Urbanisations subalternes dans les montagnes touristique d’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est » (URBALTOUR)

Two post-doctoral positions for the project "Subaltern Urbanization in the Touristic Mountains of Southern and South-Eastern Asia" (URBALTOUR)

L’ANR URBALTOUR (Urbanisations subalternes dans les montagnes touristique d’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est) analyse les convergences entre logiques urbaines et touristiques à partir des stations d’altitude fondées à l’époque coloniale en Inde, au Sri Lanka, au Myanmar, au Vietnam, en Indonésie et en Malaisie. Dans le cadre de ce projet sont proposés deux contrats post-doctoraux. Le premier pour une durée de douze mois en études urbaines et/ou touristiques consistera à étudier deux stations d’altitude de l’époque coloniale jusqu’à nos jours dans une perspective à la fois urbaine et touristique en Malaisie (Cameron Highlands) et en Indonésie. Le second, d'une durée de dix-huit mois en histoire coloniale, consistera à travailler, à partir d'archives, à l'étude des stations d’altitude à l’époque coloniale dans une perspective à la fois urbaine et touristique en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est (Malaisie, Indes orientales néerlandaises, Indochine française, Inde britannique, Ceylan).

The “civilisation du journal” in the Mediterranean from the Late Eighteenth Century to the World War I

L’objectif de ce colloque international est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes prises par la « civilisation du journal » qui s’est développée à partir de la fin du XVIII^e siècle, et jusqu’à la première guerre mondiale, dans les espaces méditerranéens qui, sans avoir été précurseurs, ont aussi connu un grand développement journalistique. L’approche se veut sociale, culturelle et matérielle, dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique récent des études sur la presse, afin de saisir la manière dont les journaux ont été produits et les entreprises de presse gérées, de saisir toutes les formes de circulations et pratiques journalistiques et d’interroger le rapport de ces journaux à l’image.

Nachtleben und Clubkultur in Zeiten einer Pandemie

Le temps d’une journée de discussions et de rencontres, Night Studies propose un état des lieux de la recherche et de la réflexion sur le monde de la nuit et des musiques électroniques, en France et en Allemagne. Après les confinements successifs, les fermetures longues durées ou encore les contraintes sanitaires, qu’en est-il de l’état de la vie nocturne aujourd’hui ? Les deux années que nous venons de traverser resteront marquées par une recrudescence des fêtes clandestines, comme le signe d’une revendication collective au droit à la fête, à la danse. Quant aux réouvertures conditionnées à la distanciation sociale, au port du masque, aux jauges réduites et à l’augmentation des contrôles, elles ont considérablement fragilisé les clubs et modifié les habitudes festives.

Conference, symposium - Law

The relevance of Eugen Ehrlich’s thought to empirical methods of law

The year 2022 marks the centenary of Eugen Ehrlich's death. This great Austro- Hungarian jurist is often presented as the father of legal sociology. As a close observer of legal practices, he was the first to use and invent concepts that have become fundamental in legal sociology today, such as legal pluralism, living law, and legal consciousness. Ehrlich’s research revisits and reverses the illustrious tradition of the Pandects, established and perfected by legal scholars such as Savigny or Puchta. Although Ehrlich has inspired jurists around the world, he remains a little known figure in France. The present symposium is therefore devoted to reconsider the actuality of his thought, using the last chapters of his Grundlegung der Soziologie des Rechts (Foundation of the Sociology of Law) as a main reference. During the first day, specialists will introduce us to the concepts of his methodology of legal sociology and the influence he had on his contemporaries. Once the fundamentals have been established, the second day will highlight the dynamics of Ehrlich's thought for law contemporary research.

The Book in Its Time: Places, Materials, Forms and Techniques

« Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal », Number 20

The Book is a phenomenon that combines the fascination of its manifestations of yesteryear to the current debates and practices that announce future paths and dilemmas. We propose in this call an exercise that recovers the procedures and techniques that gained body to welcome another invention, that of writing, which inscribes the history of copyists, printing typographers who moved between cities and countries in search of business, that of their emergence in monasteries, courts, universities, binder workshops and typographies, that of street vendors and that of the production and marketing circuits.

Knowledge productions and their diffusion in Protohistoric societies: comparative and multidisciplinary approaches

This international symposium brings together transdisciplinary researchers in order to renew the outlook on European Protohistory. Protohistoric societies having left few texts, can sites or artefacts tell us about the immaterial production of knowledge? Recent researches on comparatism, in archaeoastronomy, ethnomathematics, paleopathology or bioarchaeology, show that these societies produced knowledge and transmitted it, raising the question of the exchange of this knowledge and technologies. The texts produced by the contemporaries of the Celts show a complex and codified culture, corroborated by the found artefacts. Our gaze must therefore depart from a disciplinary compartmentalization, researches combining archaeology, astronomy, artificial intelligence, mathematics, provide interesting answers on this question.

Reading the soil in archaeology: field practice and interdisciplinary perspectives

Soil features have been at the heart of archaeological questioning for several years, stimulated in particular by the work carried out in preventive archaeology. Their identification, particularly in the field, remains a source of new data and new approaches. Their interpretation is becoming an indispensable step in the archaeological research and can, for certain periods, play a central role. The symposium aims to promote the interdisciplinary reading of the soil component in field archaeology, relying in particular on the contribution of earth sciences in general.

The craft industry and its companies: crossed views

Special issue of the journal “Entreprises & Histoire” (2024)

In the early 2020s, the craft industry can commemorate its centenary in France. This seems to be an appropriate moment toddle into its history and its place in Western economies. The aim od this call for paper is to shed light on the adaptation capacities of craft companies in the face of economic transformations and dynamism over the long term, but also to study the evolution of the researchers' view of craft industry, as a world of innovation. In order to shed light on the capacities of craft enterprises to adapt economic transformations and on the dynamism of the craft industry over the long term, but also to study the evolution of the researchers' view of the craft industry, as an endangered world to be protected or, on the contrary, as a new form of modernity. The ambition is to bring together different disciplines (history, economics, management sciences, sociology, anthropology, law...).

Meeting of Young Researchers on Heritage and Territory studies

EJI-PATER III (2022)

The aim of this meeting is to restore the opportunity to share scientific perceptions, projects, and research recently developed, or currently under development; counteracting the drop in output motivated by the pandemic and the impact of war in Ukraine. Centred on a unifying, convergent, and urgent line, the main theme for this meeting – Circular Ciência em Património e Território – results from its two core themes, that promote interdisciplinary discussion, involvement, and interdependence between different scientific areas, through the emerging and vital vision of circularity.

Discrimination, management and social movements in the sports world

International Journal of Sport Science and Physical Education

This special issue wishes to provide food for thought by bringing together relevant studies that aim to shed more light on the problem of discrimination. It aims to understand the ways in which this ‘field’ of professional and recreational sports operates and how it is implicated/characterized by racism and discrimination. How do the decision-making logics in sports organizations (leagues, clubs, public services, sports industries) produce (or challenge) discourses of discrimination, racism and glass ceilings, glass walls and/or sticky floors? What are the margins for minority ethnic (and majority) employees of the sports world (coaches, referees, selectors, sports agents, etc.) to maneuver, in particular those of a minority background who face discriminations?

Vers une nouvelle théorie politique environnementale ?

9th Graduate conference de théorie politique

In many ways, the ecological devastation puts contemporary political theory in crisis. On the one hand, the crumbling of the tacit pact of political modernity with material abundance and the irruption of nonhuman forms of agencies collide head-on with the assumption that human affairs are autonomous from the world around them. On the other hand, the collapse of biodiversity, the depletion of natural resources or global warming insistently question the frontier between theory and practice: which theorist can still be satisfied with elaborating normative principles without asking the strategic question of their implementation? On this occasion we are calling for contributions from doctoral students, either in French or English. We welcome contributions coming from the various approaches of political theory and philosophy but also from other disciplines of the humanities and social sciences.
