  On the fascistization of social reproduction: cross-border views about anti-feminism, debt and neoliberalism

  In this seminar, we will analyze the dispute over what is perceived as a crisis at the level of social reproduction in order to develop the notion of “fascistization of social reproduction” (Silvia Federici), as a key point to understand the forms of anti-feminism as programmatic elements of the new ultra-right.

  The Democratic Republic of Congo in the "Process of Atlantic African States" (PEAA)

  Assets, Issues and Perspectives

  En 2022, la République démocratique du Congo avait lancé les travaux de construction du port en eau profonde de Banana. En termes géopolitique, les 37 km de façade sur l’Océan atlantique que possède ce pays devraient être valorisés, car l’état du bief maritime dans cette façade ne permettait pas aux navires hauturiers d’accéder aux infrastructures portuaires en place, notamment les ports maritimes de Matadi et de Boma. Mais aussi, depuis quelques années une dynamique s’est développée autour ce qu’on appelle aujourd’hui "Processus des États africains atlantiques (PEAA)". Il s'agit dans ce colloque de déblayer le terrain et suggérer aux décideurs politiques, sur la base de quelques données fiables, certaines options nécessaires à lever pour le bien être, l’existence et la survie de la nation congolaise au sein de ce Processus.

  Showing Architecture, 15th-20th Centuries: Power and its Symbols

  This symposium is aimed to investigate the phenomenon of “monstration” of architecture over several centuries, in its material, event-driven and symbolic aspects; symbolic aspect, in particular when it involves a power struggle, whether in the context of the architectural profession, cross-professional relations or, above all, expressions of central political (i.e. whether monarchical, imperial, republican, institutional, religious) or competition power.

  The Lessons of Rome

  Huitième édition

  Les Leçons de Rome propose un espace de réflexion et de débat pour quiconque appréhende l’Italie comme laboratoire de recherche architecturale, urbaine et paysagère. Définir l’Italie comme laboratoire suppose d’analyser les contextes de fabrication des politiques urbaines aussi bien que les expériences de projet, les théories comme les pratiques, les héritages et les mutations tout autant que les orientations et les prospectives. En quelques mots, construire un savoir et une culture, mais encore tirer des enseignements et développer des outils opératoires pour appréhender le présent et enrichir les pratiques contemporaines.

  Deposits of metal objects in archaeological contexts during Late Antiquity

  Ce colloque sur les dépôts d’objets métalliques en contexte archéologique durant l’Antiquité tardive dans les provinces gauloises et limitrophes a pour objectif de discuter de la nature et de l’interprétation de ces ensembles, qu’ils aient été déposés à des fins de thésaurisation, de récupération ou rituelles. Une attention particulière sera portée aux contextes de découverte. Ce colloque s’intéressera aux dépôts comportant uniquement des objets métalliques et à ceux qui associent des objets métalliques et de d’autres type de matériaux, qu’ils s’agissent de dépôt simple (avec un seul type d’objets) ou complexe (avec plusieurs catégories fonctionnelles d’objets déposés), en milieu terrestre ou humide entre le III^e s. et le V^e s. dans les Gaules et dans les provinces voisines (Germanie, Hispanie, Italie, Bretagne).

  From the Page to the Classroom, Crossing Borders

  Interculturality and Children’s Literature

  This symposium is part of a research project focused on the critical analysis of the place of children’s and young adult literature in education on migration. It aims to compile critical bibliographies of picture books and novels for children and young adults dealing with migration, in order to determine to what extent these are pertinent tools to broach migratory issues with children and young people, whether they are migrant or of migrant parents themselves or not. The two strands of the project are: first, the literary analysis of the figure of the migrant in texts, in French and English, aimed at a young readership; then, the identification and deconstruction, in an educational context, of racialising biases that stem from a stereotyped creation of migrancy.

  Values, combat sports and martial arts: myths and legends under the science proofs

  The 17th edition of JORRESCAM (Journées de réflexion et de recherches sur les sports de combat et les arts martiaux) will take place in Arradon (France). The proximity of the Brocéliande forest was a factor in the choice of theme for this event, which examines the representations (Jodelet, 1995) of martial arts and combat sports practitioners, as well as of the general public, whether lay or professional. All disciplines are called upon to discuss these dimensions, from the biological sciences to the human and social sciences, as well as management, information and communication sciences.

  Propaganda and Influence: New Historiographical Perspectives

  Post-truth, fake news, infodemic, virality, soft power, hybrid warfare, political technology, influencer... New expressions intermingle with old ones – suggestion, propaganda, disinformation, manipulation, censorship – to describe the alarming evolution of various manipulative practices. These new terms and warnings often obscure the continuity of the older practices and their shared origins. By adopting an integrative and multidisciplinary approach, this conference seeks to unite researchers studying the practices of influence across different times and places, with a shared commitment to historicizing these phenomena.

  Anthologies and anthological forms in Europe during WW2 (1939-45)

  Recent research on literary translation into French in France and Belgium between 1940 and 1944 has revealed that, during the German Occupation, a significant number of anthologies of translated texts were published in France, both as standalone volumes and in periodicals. What happens if we move beyond the French-speaking world to the broader European context during World War II? Is a similar phenomenon documented in other countries? If so, are there notable “anthological phenomena” associated with specific works, genres, or authors? This conference will employ both qualitative and quantitative approaches to provide the most detailed and nuanced account possible of a literary phenomenon that remains largely unexplored.

  Cut/generate. Montage and AI

  The proliferation of machine vision systems and generative AI models has recently transformed part of our visual culture, giving rise to new typologies of moving images that require us to re-examine certain key concepts. Organised by the LIRA (Laboratoire International de Recherches en Art) and the IRCAV (Institut de Recherche sur le Cinéma et l’Audiovisuel) at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, with the contribution of the IUF (Institut Universitaire de France), this international conference will explore the implications of AI algorithms and models on the concept and practice of montage, questioning its historical theories, analysis and gestures, as well as its forms and techniques in the field of generative images.

  “Making place” in the contemporary city

  The interest of this issue of Territoires en mouvement Journal lies in grasping the making of a place as a plural dynamic, bringing to light the processes at work in the social production of urban spaces, depending on the diachronic and synchronic scales and the situations under observation. The aim here is to ask researchers from all disciplines to narrow their analytical focus and use place as a tool for describing and understanding contemporary cities. Every place is unique, but every place is part of the history of cities and urban development.

  Rethinking well-being: the contribution of the social sciences to the construction and understanding of social well-being in the world and in Africa

  New initiatives to measure the well-being of populations are proliferating around the world. In 2011, the OECD developed the Gross Domestic Happiness Index for its member countries. In 2016, the United Arab Emirates established a Ministry of Happiness. As an extension of these initiatives, the Development Research Center (DRC), with the support of the Global Development Network (GDN), which is implementing a program funded by the French Agency for Development (FAD), has launched a pilot research project for the period 2023-2025, which aims to develop a well-being index based on the deep aspirations of the Ivorian population. This symposium has been organised to discuss the results of this research and to draw lessons from similar or related work carried out elsewhere in the world, particularly in Africa.

  Conference Transmission and learning.

  How do children engage in ritualised daily practices and rituals?

  This interdisciplinary conference addresses the processes and experiences oftransmission and learning of knowledge and competences to and by children, withoutpresuming a priori the limits of childhood. The central question that will guide thediscussions concerns the ways in which ritualised contexts – secular or religious – providea vehicle for the integration and transformation of knowledge, ways of thinking, normsand values, skills and attitudes within various socialising frameworks. The conference willtherefore contribute to the debates on the conditions for the perpetuation and change ofsocial practices in general, and (co)educational practices in particular, in different regionsof the world and in different eras.
