Call for papers - Africa

African Sovereignty, Contentious Foreign Policy and 'Unidplomatic' practices

Panel of the European Conference on African Studies (ECAS) 2025

In recent years, accredited representatives and international organisations officials found themselves in the middle of intense diplomatic clashes in African contexts. The recent shift in geopolitical alliances in the Sahel area, for instance, has displayed dramatic cases, with top diplomats (foreign ambassadors, UN heads of mission, and even African Union top leaders) being denied visits, or declared persona non grata, or even expelled, sometimes manu militari. Similar cases occurred in 2021 in the midst of the war in Tigray, Ethiopia. In other instances, national authorities erect administrative impediments aimed at hindering foreign diplomats’ day-to-day activity. These few examples of diplomatic clashes were politically justified by competent authorities in the name of sovereignty in contexts of rapidly changing international partnerships. The purpose of our panel is to identify and examine the diplomatic practices by which official representatives of African states contest the international order and seek to enact sovereignty towards their external environment.

Call for papers - History

Interdisciplinary Center for History, Cultures, and Societies (CIDEHUS) Publications – Open call for manuscript submissions

The CIDEHUS (Interdisciplinary Center for History, Cultures, and Societies) is a non-profit research unit in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences. Its core discipline is History, and its scientific program focuses on studying the impact of diversity and changes in the South over the long term. The "South" it engages with is multifaceted: not only the South of Portugal but also this political formation in the context of Southern Europe and the geographies of the southern hemisphere with which it has had historical ties in the past. It publishes two collections of academic books, both of which undergo scientific peer review by international committees, using the "double-blind peer review" system. These collections are titled: "Biblioteca - Estudos & Colóquios" and "Fontes & Inventários." As the name suggests, the latter is dedicated to disseminating research tools and sources that aid researchers in their work.

Call for papers - Middle Ages

A European Middle Ages

Circulation of objects, practices, and techniques between Central and Western Europe (1000-1600)

This doctoral workshop aims to explore approaches that interrogate the flow of objects, practices, and techniques within the broadly understood realm of material culture, in contexts of production or consumption. The title of this workshop focuses on geographical Europe, but the emphasis on the European Middle Ages is first and foremost a way of accounting for a material unity on a European scale, beyond political entities. Firstly, it turns out that, when everyday objects used by a large number of people become mass-consumed products, forms of standardization on a large spatial scale must be questionned, as well as its consequences, i.e. a number of similarities.

Call for Papers: Masculinities in Migration

Building on the achievements of feminist approaches to migration, this call for papers invites contributions that place gender—masculinity—at the heart of their thinking. The aim of this thematic folder in preparation is to look beyond the figure of the “breadwinner” (a man who migrates to feed a family back home) in order to explore the plurality of masculinities that emerge in migration. This call for papers is open to contributions from a range of social science disciplines, dealing with a variety of historical and geographical contexts.

Call for papers - Language

Sung poetry in Amazigh and Arabic languages

Revue « Poésies toutes ! »

This inaugural issue of Poésies toutes ! aims to deal with sung poetry in Amazigh and Arabic languages, based on the observation that in these two linguistic domains, poetry and song are important components of culture, if not the most important. This cultural affinity extends to the age-old relationship between these two arts. They are, in a way, two sides of the same coin.This publication will be divided into two parts. Each of them will bring together contributions that explore sung poetry in the three idioms : Amazigh and Arabic, taking into account the diversity and linguistic particularities specific to each of them.

Le fascisme dans les urnes

Imaginaires politiques, sociologie électorale, pratiques militantes. (Europe, 1918-1945)

Le présent colloque propose de relancer le chantier de la place du vote dans l’accession des mouvements fascistes au pouvoir – ou dans leurs aspirations à le faire – dans l’idée d’éclairer la place de la dynamique électorale dans la faillite des démocraties et leur processus de désintégration. Le cadre chronologique creste celui, strict et traditionnel, des années 1918-1945, où se multiplièrent, partout en Europe, des mouvements fascistes et où s’installèrent dans certains pays, des dictatures fascistes ou des gouvernements autoritaires comportant une composante fasciste. Trois directions principales seront explorées : le programme politique du fascisme, l’histoire matérielle des campagnes électorales et du vote, enfin la sociologie électorale.

Migrating Off the Beaten Path. Europeans and the World at a Time of New Migratory Horizons (1750-1850)

Since 2023, the PIOMIG project “Pioneers of Global Migration (16th- 21st centuries)”, supported by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société - Sud-Est (MSHS-SE) and the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), has been studying so-called “pioneer” migratory phenomena, which lie upstream and on the margins of the major migratory currents already well identified in scholarly literature. After organizing a first workshop, which enabled us to better define this notion (https://epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/publication/pionniers-migrations), we propose to convene a symposium on December 4, 5 and 6, 2025. This symposium will provide an opportunity to present the original material collected and analysed in recent years, and to compare it with other approaches and studies on related subjects.

Endogenous structures for the conservation of cultural property in Africa in the context of the repatriation of stolen cultural objects

In the historical context of the repatriation of stolen African objects preserved in European museums, little attention has been paid to the endogenous spaces and structures of conservation from which African objects have been extracted since the 15th century. However, the museum institution that Europe seeks to impose on African societies as a solution to their current conservation is a recent initiative and not adapted to African realities. Furthermore, the aim of the debate on the spoliation of African cultural property is not to insist essentially on the problem of provenance or documentation of the stolen objects, even less on the “actors of the theft” or “collectors,” but to question the meaning and significance of African cultural productions in time and space. It is a question of proposing a historical-cultural reading of African societies, contradicting the discourses that disfavor the return of looted objects. The authors and promoters of these discourses, denying the African societies that produced and used these stolen cultural objects, the ability to receive and preserve them properly.

At the crossroads of the African world: a space for mobility and the emergence of new identities, from prehistoric times to the 21st century

Mobility, one of the fundamental functions of any society, is now a key concept in research into migration in the human and social sciences. In an approach to migration based essentially on identity, security or usefulness, several African, European and American states have adopted immigration laws to limit the movement of people and access to the right of asylum. In the light of current concerns about migration throughout the world, this international symposium in tribute to Professor ALLOU Kouamé René is intended to provide a framework for analysing the migration policies that African governments, whether or not they are subject to the diktat of Western public authorities, are trying to implement in order to remedy these identity crises as part of the construction of the nation-state.

Islam - migration - gender

The “Islam - Migrations - Gender” workshop aims to initiate a dialogue between three fields of research that communicate little: the history of Islam, the history of migrations and the history of gender. The first is too focused on religious dimensions for some, the second is too focused on state control of migration others, and the third is too “militant” for the rest. How, then, can we write a social and cultural history of Muslims in Europe that integrates gender as a category of historical analysis and focuses on the daily lives of the actors, highlighting their “agency”?

Rethinking inside activism

Illiberalism, participation, and (un)mobilization

Inside activism was the subject of a profusion of studies in the 1990s and 2000s, whether in the environmental field, gender politics, or urban policy, many of which can be found in the special issue devoted to it by Politix in 2005. Although this subject has received less attention since then, it has prompted much research abroad, particularly in Latin America. This event aims to revisit the study of institutional activism by examining it in the light of diverse political contexts, particularly within the authoritarian and illiberal dynamics that shape the commitment of public agents.

Gender and Neurodiversity on Screen

Revue Genre en séries : cinéma, télévision, médias - Numéro 20

Le numéro « Genre et neurodiversité à l’écran » aspire à interroger la notion même de neurodiversité et ses potentialités émancipatrices au-delà de la seule question de l’autisme. Si les recherches sur l’autisme semblent en effet en bonne voie de structuration au sein des critical autism studies, l’appréhension d’autres variantes de fonctionnement cognitif depuis le paradigme de la neurodiversité fait encore l’objet d’une carence d’étude. Les différents articles pourront prendre pour objet aussi bien les contenus fictionnels, que les productions à visée informationnelle ou de divertissement.

Appropriating international spaces and professions. European women and feminists in the 20th century

The workshop focuses on the intersections between the history of international relations, the history of European integration, women’s and gender history, European studies, and gender studies. Since the early 21^st century, historiography on international relations and European integration has undergone profound transformations, enabling the integration of a gender perspective. The workshop has two main objectives. First, it will reassess the field by discussing the theoretical and methodological challenges of approaches at the intersection of the history of international relations, European integration, gender and feminist history, European studies, and gender studies. Second, the workshop will provide a platform for debate around case studies, recent or ongoing empirical work. It is explicitly aimed at PhD candidates and early-career researchers.
