    Samurai and Knights, Medieval and Early Modern Worlds East and West in Texts and Films: Inter-Cultural Echoes and Historical, Mythological and Aesthetic Perspectives

    This international conference will explore the cultural differences, similarities and potential bridges between the eastern and western worlds as envisaged during the medieval and early modern periods, including their represention in art, texts and legends, poetry, and pictorial and cinematographic productions. Since the areas of investigation are expansive, Japan is granted a primary place as the pivotal axis for the eastern world. This does exclude Persia, India or China. The northern, English and Mediterranean European areas will primarily represent the occidental world.

    Séries états-uniennes de Network des années 2000

    Following the conferences devoted to US network series produced from the 1950s to the 1970s (Université Paul-Valéry Montpellier, May 2018), during the 1980s (UPVM, February 2019) or the 1990s (UPVM, February 2020), this conference will focus on network series of the following decade: 2000-2010. Our aim is to give center stage to series that have often been either neglected or analyzed through restricted methodological approaches, and to contribute to re-historicizing the study of television series by refusing to focus solely on the hyper-contemporary series currently being aired.

    The Invisibles and Heritage. What Heritage? Who for?

    Revue « In Situ »

    Quelle est la place pour des groupes sociaux exclus des systèmes de reconnaissance, de protection et de gestion du patrimoine – désignés dans cet appel par le terme d’« invisibles »  dans le champ des activités et des attentes patrimoniales ? Comment sont-ils ou non impliqués dans les chaînes patrimoniales et pris en compte par leurs différents opérateurs (experts, institutions culturelles, autorités publiques) ? Que traduit la volonté de visibilisation de ces groupes, qui la requiert ? Quelles sont les solutions déjà apportées par les acteurs du patrimoine ? Quels effets les initiatives de visibilisation peuvent-elles avoir sur les politiques patrimoniales et la société ? Quels risques présentent-elles (essentialisme, institutionnalisation) ?

    Faire le fou. L’art des bouffons dans l’Europe moderne

    Playing Fools? The Art of the Jester in Modern Europe

    The jester is a paradoxical figure: a subordinate included in elite social circles. Thus, he is an outsider, albeit a remarkably proficient one. Jesters, comprising fools, dwarfs, and other “monsters” – both men and women, often with disabilities – are itinerant, travelling from one court to another or from the precursors of psychiatric hospitals to the realms of royalty. The conference aims to scrutinise the competition between artists and jesters, with the latter frequently obtaining more stable patronage than poets and painters. Our goal is to establish the status of jesters between subalternity and disability, applying the methodologies of historical anthropology, social history, and art history.

    International Conference on Constructed Languages, 2024

    The International Conference on Constructed Languages (I-CONLANG II, 2024) offers a forum dedicated to multidisciplinary research on constructed languages. The study of constructed languages is the site of a proliferation of ideas and innovations in the linguistic field, which challenge the human ability to provide new forms of linguistic expression, for wide-ranging purposes. This phenomenon is not only relevant in linguistics, but in many other disciplines in the human sciences, as well as in the arts and letters, and this extends far beyond academic circles. The creation of a constructed language may have various purposes, but their study reveals a common set of questions, which the Conference intends to address.

    Future Imaginaries and Territorial Planning

    Journal “EchoGéo”

    Geographic space is commonly understood as the result of cumulative historical and social processes. We therefore start from the present in order to shed light on its genesis, and look for the factors behind it by going back in time. This issue of EchoGéo proposes to adopt a complementary and opposite perspective : to examine the effects of imagined futures on the spatial construction of societies, and hence the way in which future spatial configurations are thought about, anticipated, promoted or combated at a given moment. All proposals addressing the links between imaginaries of the future and territorial planning from a spatial perspective are welcome, whatever the discipline. Attention will be paid to the diversity and articulation of spatial and temporal scales brought into play by the imaginations of the future mobilised by territorial planning.

    Thinking about the didactics of languages/cultures, literature and translation

    Crossed looks

    Every language is taught in a social environment with its own tangible and intangible components : protagonists, aims, strategies, values, representations, imaginaries, priorities and legitimating instances. Some languages are well documented, with a long tradition of description and teaching, while others may not have given rise to grammars, dictionaries, textbooks or translations. Language didactics, as a field of complex mediations, is by definition dependent on the degree of pedagogical inventiveness and “didactisation” practices. Born of the desire to open up a space for exchanges and discoveries about the challenges of teaching and learning foreign languages, this symposium aims to compare the research carried out at the University of Mostaganem and the INALCO.

    Pan-Africanisms, (Post-)Slavery and Race

    « Esclavages et Post-Esclavages / Slaveries and Post-Slaveries » Journal

    This issue of Slaveries & Post-Slaveries examines the repercussions of the transatlantic matrix of race on post-slavery societies. Particular attention will be paid to societies on the African continent, as the racial logics operating within them have rarely been studied. We understand racial logics as the assumption that supposed physical and cultural differences between groups are “inherited” from one generation to the next.

    Violence and emotions

    Towards a description of everyday violence

    This special issue of Violence: An international journal would like to situate such important and complex traditions of studies in the current contexts of our societies, in different areas of the world and in different cultural environments. It is intended to open a space for discussion that reflects, once again, on what kind of connections exist between violence and emotions, with the aim of advancing on the belief that emotions “generate” violence or vice versa in a simplistic and linear way.

    Literati, literature and comics

    Journal “InterArtes”

    Depuis le développement des études sur la bande dessinée dans le monde occidental, à savoir dès les années soixante, on a observé une croissance imposante, dans différents domaines disciplinaires, de contributions scientifiques portant sur son langage et ses auteurs. Des reconstructions historiques, des études sociologiques, des interprétations culturelles, des analyses sémiotiques et linguistiques, des comparaisons intermédiales ont offert au cours de ces décennies un cadre historique, théorique et méthodologique permettant de définir le langage de la bande dessinée, ses formes, ses genres et ses évolutions, son dialogue avec les autres arts, sa valeur esthétique ainsi que son impact idéologique et culturel. Cependant, nous estimons qu'il reste encore beaucoup à explorer et à définir, notamment dans la relation – objet de nombreux débats récemment – entre la bande dessinée et la littérature.

    Imagining Italy

    Space, Gender and Discourse in Women’s Writing (1789-1914)

    This conference will explore women writers’ contributions to the representation of Italy in Europe, from the 19th century to the outbreak of the First World War. At a time when women were increasingly present in the public sphere, Italy was for them a source of particular interest and attention, as women writers began to contribute to a discourse that had previously been predominantly restricted to men. Through a cross-cultural and comparative perspective, the conference aims to intersect representations of space and notions of gender, in order to trace the construction and reappropriation of Italy by women authors.

    Crossed perspectives on the new wave of coups d’état in French-speaking black Africa

    Since 2012, putsch in French-speaking black Africa have reasserted themselves as an essential paradigm for the analysis of political life where almost all states have at least twenty years of multi-party electoral experience. Field data reveals at least six successful military coups between August 2020 and January 2022; proven risks in at least six other countries where new coup mechanisms are emerging, like what some call “constitutional coups”. How can we describe what is happening in French-speaking black Africa? This call for contributions for a collective work aims to provide information on the taxonomy and technologies of this new wave of putsch thanks to cross-sectional comparison between French-speaking black Africa and elsewhere; diachronic comparison (yesterday and today) and normative comparison (what is done and what should be done).

    The Child Stage Performer (18th-beginning 19th century)

    Journal “European Drama and Performance Studies”

    This issue of European Drama and Performance Studies will look at the conditions under which child stage performers operate, in the light of recent research on “working childhood”, on the social history of performers, and on stages and performances that have long been in the shadows (curiosity shows, fairground shows, cultural activities outside European capitals). The aim will be to bring together case studies and also to offer summaries on this theme, with an emphasis on analyses of the 18th century and the early 19th century.
