    Mourning and Memory in Latin America. Social Emergencies, Narrative and Artistic Elaborations

    « Amerika » numéro 31

    Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un élan démocratique se fait jour en Amérique latine. Il s’exprime au travers d’élections, mais se manifeste aussi dans des mouvements sociaux ou des révoltes. En lien avec les tensions générées par la guerre froide qui favorisent les coups d’État dans différents pays, des dictatures se mettent toutefois en place dès les années 60. Trouvant leur justification dans la doctrine de la « sécurité nationale », ces dictatures sont fondées sur le contrôle social, la persécution politique et l’usage massif d’une violence étatique. Mais des stratégies de résistance se développent, variables selon les contextes politiques et socio-économiques des pays. Quelles mémoires, artistiques et narratives, découlent de ces événements ?

    Reflection at Work: Representation, Perception and the Making of Light in Art

    Depuis quelques années, le développement des Sensory Studies en histoire de l’art tend à réintroduire la prise en compte des perceptions sensorielles dans l’analyse des œuvres (par exemple Constance Claassen pour le toucher, Erika Wicky pour l’odorat, Marta Battisti pour l’ouïe). En s’inscrivant dans ces approches, le workshop « reflets », qui se tiendra à l’INHA (Paris) les 22 et 23 janvier 2026, vise à appréhender de façon interdisciplinaire la question du reflet dans l’art du XVIe au XVIIIe siècle.

    “Community Healthcare” in the Americas: (dis)continuities and reappropriations

    Revue « IdeAs » n°28 (automne 2026)

    Community health, which refers to a set of practices and intervention models grounded in social participation and a promotional-preventive approach, began to emerge during the 1960s as an alternative way of delivering healthcare. The American continent was one of the incubators of this approach, drawing on liberation theology and popular education movements in Latin America, the Free Clinics and the Neighborhood Health Clinics in the United States, and the interaction between popular movements and the State during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. This issue of the journal IdeAs proposes a continental approach to community health.

    Teaching Design Today : Practices, Knowledge, and Reconfigured Institutions

    Ce colloque vise à interroger les mutations contemporaines qui affectent l’enseignement du design, dans un contexte marqué par des transformations profondes — sociétales, écologiques, numériques, culturelles — appelant à repenser les cadres pédagogiques, les formes de transmission, les articulations entre théorie et pratique, et les liens entre école, recherche et société. Les trois axes du colloque interrogent les fondements de l’enseignement du design face aux mutations contemporaines. Le premier explore la formation à la pensée critique, à l’éthique et à la responsabilité sociale et environnementale. Le second valorise la transdisciplinarité et les pratiques collaboratives entre disciplines. Le troisième s’ouvre aux apports du numérique, aux pratiques émergentes et à la recherche-création comme moteurs de renouvellement pédagogique.

    Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism in Contemporary Europe (1960s to the Present): Internationalisation, Circulation and Representations

    The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

    Postdoctoral fellowship in Sociology of education

    Two-year contract, full-time postdoc fellowship in sociology of education, within the framework of the ERC-Consolidator BildungLearning project n°101043433 (https://bildunglearning.be/). The main objective of this project is to compare the modern philosophy of Bildung and the contemporary paradigm of the Learning Society (LS) by systematically analyzing their homological structures. Through this comparison, we aim to expose the important conceptual mutations of the ideal of educational autonomy occurring from the first paradigm to the latter This research combines history of philosophy and political philosophy. Through an analysis of political-educational narratives, we want to examine if the great narratives of the philosophical modernity – such as emancipation through self-cultivation – have become totally obsolete or ineffective, or if and how far they continue to be operating in current discourses under critical and fragmented forms.

    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.

    Courtyards and patios in the Mediterranean

    The courtyard or patio house, based on the intimate appropriation of a fragment of sky at the heart of the domestic space, is a major archetype of human habitation. Deeply rooted in Mediterranean traditions, it surprises with its longevity and its ability to generate unique expressions, shaped by the diversity of physical and cultural contexts. This archetype, which has spanned the centuries, from the ancient world to contemporary projects, continues to inspire architects, thinkers, and creators, and has regained particular relevance in light of the challenges of the 21st century, as contemporary issues invite us to rethink modes of dwelling.  To explore these dimensions, the conference adopts a multidisciplinary approach structured around four cross-cutting themes. It is aimed at a diverse range of profiles—architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, archaeologists, artists, writers, climatologists, etc.—drawing on scientific contributions, feedback from architects, and artistic expressions.
