    La misopédie dans les institutions

    Misopedia is hatred of children (similar to misogyny, which refers to hatred of women). It is the feeling of contempt – most often unconscious – that we harbour towards younger people, the rejection we subject them to in the functioning of society. Being or having been a child is the one and only universal experience common to all human beings on the planet. And yet, from generation to generation, there is a recurring inability to empathise with childhood once we have left it behind. This misopedia is not universal, but it is quite widespread and varies, of course, according to time and place.

    Work and Utopia(s)"

    Laboreal, July 2026

    Since the 19th century, the cyclical crises of our industrial societies have fuelled multiple initiatives aimed at envisioning another possible world. Yet recent decades have revealed a state of profound crisis that leads us to doubt, more radically than ever, the validity and sustainability of our ways of thinking and acting. Our futures are at stake, our models of society are being strained under the pressure of climate change, social and societal upheavals, public health crises, and political instability. In this context, human labour is an undeniable issue.  In these times of transition, ways of thinking about and acting on work increasingly integrate the utopian dimension, which underlies the evolution of both the worlds of work and communities of life. This issue will therefore be an opportunity to take stock of the state of the art.

    Writings from the private archives of dignitaries exiled in Réunion

    This workshop explores the intimate effects of the educational experience of dignitaries exiled to Reunion Island at the dawn of the 20th century.  Experimenting seclusion, their exile was also a time of publicizing their words, with the publication of memoirs and press articles. The aim is to see how these prison worlds, which were on the increase during the colonial period, helped shape the bodies and souls of the inmates. Focusing on the writings of exiled dignitaries, this workshop seeks to probe the intimate changes that these new scholastic knowledges operate in terms of sociability, relationship to self and others, in a context of resistance to French occupation.

    Academic freedom in question

    Is the expression of diverse perspectives for the development of knowledge still possible in academia?

    Un des questionnements importants auquel fait face l’Université aujourd’hui est celui de la liberté académique. Depuis maintenant de nombreuses années, celle-ci fait l’objet de débats, qui ont abouti au Québec à la loi 32. Ce qui est en jeu est la liberté de pensée et de conscience, mais aussi la diversité des perspectives nécessaires à l’élaboration du savoir. En même temps, on constate de plus en plus que le traditionnel clivage entre la gauche et la droite, qui nous guidait dans notre compréhension du monde, ne correspond plus à des définitions claires de ces courants politiques. On y retrouve d’un côté comme de l’autre : polarisation, autocensure et censure. Quel est leur impact sur l’élaboration universitaire du savoir ?

    Diplomatic Gifts in the Modern and Contemporary Eras

    Definitions, Changes, and Patrimonialisation on a Global Scale

    Considering the long history of diplomatic relations, the conference aims above all to fully analyse the evolving agency of gifts, from the strengthening of princely dynastic alliances to the consolidation of nation states, as well as the way in which the objects offered construct and potentially reconfigure links. How do these objects fit into a policy of gift-giving, whether serial or renewed over time? According to what rituals must these witnesses, which seal the agreement, themselves reactivate the alliance (counter-gift, reconnection journey, etc.)? How are they perceived and understood a few years after they were offered, and when they become part of discourses on patrimonialisation, especially in places dedicated to their collective conservation, which are themselves, in turn, active tools?

    Topografías del asilo

    Dimensions spatiales des pratiques d’asile (trans)nationales dans les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles

    Le colloque explore l’articulation entre asile et espace à travers le prisme des études culturelles et littéraires. À la lumière du Spatial Turn, de la Critical Geography, de la Feminist Geography et de la Postcolonial Spatial Theory, l’espace peut être compris comme le produit d’une pratique socialement construite et dynamique. Comment les littératures allemande, française et espagnole des XXe et XXIe siècles localisent-elles et matérialisent-elles les pratiques d’asile ? Quelles institutions sont mises en exergue et quelles esthétiques suscitent-elles ?

    How to write fictional history. Historiographies in imaginative fiction

    La rencontre organisée par les Têtes Imaginaires vise à poursuivre la réflexion sur les liens entre histoire et littérature de l’imaginaire en repartant de l’histoire en tant que pratique d’élaboration d’un récit historique. Une dimension caractéristique des mondes imaginaires est que leur passé est structuré, par exemple en chronologies millénaires, et c’est sur la forme de ces histoires, plutôt que sur leur contenu, que portera la rencontre.

    Market gardening and fruit trees in urban and peri-urban areas

    Socio-environmental issues and planning challenges

    The evolution of market gardening and fruit trees is a rapidly expanding field of research, hence the need for in-depth studies to identify and maximize their positive impacts in disparate urban contexts (geographical and climatic) marked by often difficult conditions and particularly strong competition between different possible uses of resources. They play an essential socio-cultural role by reflecting important heritage, symbolic, and identity values. Finally, they bring local communities together around participatory and innovative projects involving citizens, public decision-makers, associations, and researchers.

    Decentering restitution

    African perspectives on the return of “things”

    À l’ordre du jour des agendas politiques et médiatiques internationaux depuis quelques années, la question de la restitution des biens culturels africains spoliés pendant les siècles précédents continue d’être appréhendée majoritairement sous un prisme occidentalo-centré. Au cœur des échanges et discussions qui alimentent ce processus s’invitent des thématiques axées sur les cadres juridiques des pays détenteurs, leurs définitions de l’« objet d’art » ou de l’« artefact », de même que sur l’universalité du musée de type occidental. Les entités disputées se trouvent être aussi au centre de réalités complexes, de motivations et de dynamiques se déployant au sein des sociétés africaines, et qui sont méconnues dans leurs lieux d’exil.

    The joy of teaching languages and through languages

    A tribute to Michèle Valentin

    This special issue of Les Langues Modernes pays tribute to Michèle Valentin by celebrating the joy of teaching languages and through languages. At a time when teaching is often associated with difficulty, the aim is to highlight its positive dimension as a source of passion, creativity and fulfilment. Language teaching—whether of widely spoken, lesser-taught or regional languages—elicits deep emotions and often involves strong personal commitment. Teaching throughlanguages (CLIL/EMILE, DNL, ETLV…) likewise fosters creativity and wonder through intercultural and disciplinary mediation. Contributions may explore positive emotions in relation to learning, teacher-student relationships, peer collaboration or pedagogical innovation. The issue will welcome both research articles and practice-based accounts, from early childhood to higher education.

    Trump and Borders: assessing the first year of his second term in the White House

    Les organisateurs de ce colloque souhaitent dresser le bilan de la première année du second mandat du Président républicain, sous l’angle des frontières et des enjeux qui s’y rapportent. Que ce soient les frontières qu’il souhaite renforcer, celles qu’il ambitionne de redessiner ou bien encore celles qu’il veut redéfinir, il nous a semblé que cette thématique représentait un prisme d’analyse pertinent pour mieux comprendre la politique de Donald Trump et les forces qui la structurent.

    Actors and representations of the safeguard of nature in mountain areas: a global perspective (late 18th – early 21st century)

    The aim of this international scientific conference is to examine the progressive integration of the environmental protection theme into the several mountain ranges of the Earth, between the end of the 18th century and the beginning of the 21st century, concluding in 2022, the International Year of Mountains. By selecting a global perspective, it encourages a decentring of observation points, which in turn brings to light not only the diversity of trajectories but also the possible (direct or indirect) circulation of knowledge, materials, practices and individuals in the different mountain ranges.

    The painting of Eugène Delacroix: materials, practices and restorations

    Technè, n°62, 2026-2

    Recent publications and exhibitions have all contributed to deepening our understanding of Eugène Delacroix’s practices. At the same time, the last decade has witnessed numerous restorations of his large-scale canvases and decors kept in museums, churches, and national institutions. These interventions, highlighting a solid coordination between the different actors involved in the preservation of Delacroix heritage, have produced a multitude of observations and much material knowledge. Number 62 of Technè will offer the opportunity to take into consideration the new information gathered from this activity, to identify research prospects and cross-reference these discoveries with the artist's immense written legacy (journal, correspondence, articles) as well as with other publications dealing with the history of collectors, and the art and restoration market in Paris in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
