Bound Histories

Memories, Materialities, and Meanings of Photo Albums

This special issue of Photographica aims to foster reflections on both the history of albums and the ways in which they can be read and studied. What are the different ways of understanding photo albums? Should they be considered as objects with a “social” or a “cultural biography” in the sense of the anthropologists Arjun Appadurai and Igor Kopytoff? In what ways do they represent one of the richest objects of investigation for the history of photography, and what do they reveal about photographic practices?

The Project “African Continental Free Trade Area” of CUCA (AfCFTA-CUCA)

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) represents a decisive project and a fundamental dynamic in the economic and commercial life of Africa. It is at once a vision, an ambition, a program, an articulation, a regulation, an action plan, and a networking of the economic assets and commercial opportunities of the continent's states. As we know, in its conception and preliminary orientations, AfCFTA is part of the strategy for materializing and implementing Agenda 2063 drawn up by the African Union.

Secularization of religious assets in Enlightened Europe: urban development, architecture and art works.

The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 marks the last step of the Order’s progressive dissolution initiated fifteen years earlier, in Europe and in its colonies. This act of suppression was the culmination of a broader secularisation movement concerning religious congregations across Europe, from the 1760s to the French Revolution. Several studies have already investigated the dispersal of abolished congregations’ assets in different parts of Enlightened Europe, but a broader overview is yet to be drawn. Furthermore, it is necessary to define common characteristics of confiscation procedures and real properties’ functional transformations during the three decades before the nationalisation of Church property undertaken in France in 1789.

City symphonies after the city symphony

Loin d’être un genre anecdotique dans l’histoire du cinéma, limité à une poignée de films célèbres – Manhatta (1921), Rien que les heures (1926), Berlin : Symphonie d’une grande ville (1927), Pluie (1929), L’homme à la caméra (1929), À propos de Nice (1930) – la symphonie urbaine a continué de susciter l’engouement de nombreux cinéastes à travers le monde du début des années 1930 à nos jours. La symphonie urbaine se caractérise par une absence d’intrigue, de rythme narratif et de personnages, et une structure empruntée aux mouvements de symphonies orchestrales. Cette journée d’étude vise à s’interroger sur l’héritage des symphonies urbaines dans le cinéma postérieur aux années 1930.

The intimate and the public

The face in 18th and 19th century public sculpture in France and in the German sphere

This study day devoted to sculpture will focus on one element in particular: the face. As an essential part of the sculpted figure, the face has the dual role of enabling identification and expression. This dual role became more apparent in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of portraiture, as well as the interest in the inner self and more broadly, the intimate. The aim of this exhibition is to draw a parallel between two contradictory concepts : the intimate and the public. As sculpture is the art par excellence of the public space, the aim is to confront the face, which is intimate, with the imperatives of public sculpture. The aim of this study day is to examine the representation of the face in Franco-German public sculpture in the 18th and 19th centuries, analysing its theories, practices, techniques, possible typologies and the way it is perceived by the viewer.

Conference, symposium - Education

Ludopedagogy

Ludopedagogy refers to the use of games in an educational context, whether for affordance purposes, to enhance engagement, or to transform skills or representations. The games utilized as artifacts and situations cover a wide range of realities and experiences: video games, games in digital simulation environments, analog games, role-playing games, board games... While their use in educational contexts is not new in itself, the increasing prevalence of ludopedagogical practices and tools in higher education highlights an unprecedented dynamic and raises questions. Certainly, this visibility of ludopedagogy must be linked with the major issues driving higher education: considering diversity and striving for inclusion, a competency-based approach, supporting success in all its forms, the learner's experience, promoting active pedagogies, utilizing digital tools, and fostering professionalization. Given these transformative challenges, it is essential to critically and scientifically assess what ludopedagogy can contribute to higher education. How can games offer a pedagogical opportunity that supports the development and acquisition of skills?

Modalities and Meanings of Disappearance

Le dossier consacré à « la disparition » de Silence(s) : revue interdisciplinaire entend traiter des objets des sciences humaines et sociales marqués par l’anéantissement (disparition d’objets, de personnes, de lieux etc.). Avec ces contributions, il ne s’agit pas de constater l’absence, de faire le compte rendu des effacements de traces, des collectes de fragments, des relevés de ruines, des restes, des silences, des lacunes et des vides, mais d’étudier d’une part ce que le phénomène de disparition induit sur nos pratiques de recherche, et d’autre part ce que ces actions éclairent des relations sociales, présentes et passées.

Kingship in Sparta from Menelaus to Nabis

Foundations, practices and representations

Spartan dual kingship is one of the most astonishing aspects of Sparta's constitution: despite the vicissitudes of history, it was perpetuated with a certain constancy in a particular political system from its mythical origins to its evolution into a monarchy and disappearance in the Hellenistic period. This preservation has been achieved at the cost of constantly reinventing the representation of kings and their institutional function.
