    Les noms propres : intraduits ou intraduisibles ?

    Troisième rencontre des jeunes chercheurs sur les intraduisibles de l’Antiquité

    La présente journée d’étude vise à questionner l’intraductibilité des noms propres de la Méditerranée ancienne. Il sera question notamment d’évaluer les apports de l’anthropologie et de l’histoire dans l’analyse de la dynamique entre nom propre et idionyme(s) : d’un côté, le nom propre, conçu comme une entité abstraite, recouvre plusieurs catégories, telles que : l’anthroponyme, le théonyme, l’ethnonyme, le toponyme, l’ergonyme, etc. ; de l’autre côté, l’idionyme correspond au nom propre tel qu’il est porté par un individu, une divinité, un lieu, etc., ancré dans son contexte historique, régional, social, culturel et familial. Au-delà de l’interprétation et de la compréhension linguistiques des noms, il est nécessaire d’étudier le contexte d’appartenance de chaque idionyme. C’est sur ce point que la démarche anthropologique trouve toute sa pertinence.

    Sacred texts/Profane images

    Dynamics of transmission of religious knowledge: in dialogue with Congolese popular painting

    L’art plastique populaire congolaise représente un intéressant point d’observation des processus sociaux et culturels pour une étude des interrelations entre le texte sacré, l’évangelisation et l’iconographie. C'est ce sujet que le colloque veut approcher par une perspective interdisciplinaire et comparative, en élargissant le regard à d'autres domaines historico-culturels, coloniaux et autres, et à la dynamique plus générale d’échange entre la culture savante et la culture populaire. En ce sens le colloque se veut l’occasion d’étudier des problèmes clés, en identifiant en deux sessions respectives deux domaines thématiques et de dialogue méthodologique et historiographique : images et transmission du sacré ; savoirs-pouvoirs-représentations.

    Bringing monuments to life

    Staging, spaces and audiences

    Dans une visée scientifique et socio-professionnelle, ce colloque vise à comprendre comment se redéfinissent les rapports entre les lieux patrimoniaux et leurs publics, les logiques sociales et politiques de la culture à l’œuvre dans la médiation du monument en tant que patrimoine bâti. Nous souhaitons ainsi interroger ce qui fait vivre les monuments de patrimoine dans/à travers leurs mises en scène, leurs espaces qu’ils soient intérieurs/extérieurs mais aussi symboliques et imaginaires ; et enfin, leurs publics au travers de leurs appropriations, représentations, usages et pratiques du monument ou lieu de patrimoine. Cette rencontre sera l’occasion de renouveler et prolonger ces questionnements sous différents axes qui ne se veulent pas exhaustifs mais qui constituent des pistes de réflexions : mises en scène, espaces, publics.

    (Anti)colonialism and (inter)nationalism

    Rendez-vous d’histoire coloniale, 2nd edition

    In the wake of Colonial studies, the Research Group on Colonial Orders organises the second edition of the Rendez-vous d’histoire coloniale. A first issue took place in 2022 (« Être colonisateur·trice, être colonisé·e »). This conference invites scholars to put to use the tools of both critical social sciences - for a strong empirical and contextual anchorage - and those of Postcolonial studies, in order to bring (back) to light the multiple dimensions of imperial domination. So as not to fall into the trap of an imperial history that isolates empires as self-sufficient units, it will also pay specific attention to extra- and trans-imperial circulation. While colonisers and colonised interact, they are not isolated from the rest of the world. Indeed, imperial relations take place within frameworks of international relations that transcend borders and other geographical and political boundaries, whether regional, national or colonial. The conference will thus aim to explore the question of colonisation through a prism that is as global as it is localised, attentive to the overall system and its concrete expressions, without geographical restriction, for the modern and contemporary periods.

    Europeanisations from the Bottom and from the Margins

    Actors, Representations, and Experiences (late 19th-early 21st centuries)

    Ce colloque international poursuit l’ambition de prolonger les réflexions sur les européanisations en réunissant des contributions mobilisant principalement deux approches : l’histoire par le bas et par les marges. L’histoire par le bas vise à encourager une étude de la notion d’Europe au-delà d’un phénomène géopolitique mettant en scène des institutions étatiques et paraétatiques, mais plus largement comme un espace social, politique, culturel et économique en construction et un cadre de référence touchant tous les acteurs et actrices de la société. À cette histoire par le bas s’ajoute la notion des marges de l’Europe, ici principalement envisagées comme des marges temporelles et géographiques. Nous nous intéresserons donc aux mécanismes à l’œuvre sur le temps long (XIXe et XXe siècles) et en particulier dans des pays ou régions à la périphérie de l’Union européenne, jusqu’alors peu considérés dans l’étude de la construction européenne, à l’image de la Suisse, de la Finlande, des pays balkaniques et de l’Ukraine.

    Health and Nature

    Thematic issue of the journal “Histoire, médecine et santé”

    This thematic issue of the journal Histoire, médecine et santé examines the various uses of and relations to nature in the field of health. Inspired by the multidisciplinary issues raised by the current climate and biodiversity crises, this thematic issue follows recent academic initiatives in interrogating the various conceptions of nature and their effects in a number of cultural fields (urban planning, artistic production, etc.). It seeks to explore the ways in which these representations, rooted in both ontologies and marketing issues, constrain and transform the medical uses of natural elements and spaces. The issue is open to proposals from a wide range of historical and geographical contexts that could help broaden our understanding of the naturalness of the elements and products in question.

    Gaetano Salvemini (1873-1957) and France

    The conference intends to propose an overall re-examination of Salvemini's relations with France, starting with those matured with some historians during the drafting phase of his volume on the French Revolution (1905, subsequently reissued several times with variants), passing through his relations with some important intellectuals and those gravitating around the figure of his second wife Fernande Dauriac, arriving at those with the world of Italian and European antifascist exile. Vast and significant, even if not always marked by sympathy and harmony of ideas, appear, moreover, the relations with exponents of the labor movement and with various personalities of the French socialist world. A separate chapter is, finally, represented by relations with the Giustizia e Libertà movement.

    International Conference on Sexual Diversity Studies in Ibero-America: Desires, Spaces and Identities

    Artistic-cultural practices, productions and epistemologies from the edges: voices and decolonial stakes of feminisms and sexual dissidences

    This symposium aims to make visible, analyze and reflect on border cultural practices and productions. In the geographic and symbolic borders stand identities and resistances of those “othernesses” built by colonialism and by that “western conscience”. In a decolonizing effort on the object-subject in artistic-cultural production, feminisms and sexual dissidences in the Ibero-American and diasporic space transform “the personal into the political” through artivist practices and the appropriation of public and virtual space, proposals from performance, manifesto, street art, literature, weaving, scenic arts and music, among other forms of expression that deconstruct the hegemonic vision.

    Women poets and the canon

    IV International Conference “Female Creations in Literary and Intercultural Education” (CICELI)

    In this fourth edition of the CICELI conference, we are paying special attention to women poets, their work and their controversial relationship with the canon, celebrating two fundamental milestones: the 90th anniversary of the groundbreaking inclusion of two Spanish women poets (Ernestina de Champourcin and Josefina de la Torre) in Gerardo Diego’s anthology Poesía Española (1934) and the 70th anniversary of the publication of Carmen Conde’s anthology Poesía femenina española viviente (1954).

    Endogenous Knowledge in Focus

    Senegalese Journal of Information Sciences

    For many years, the promotion of endogenous knowledge has been a recurring theme in discussions between academics and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The significant contribution of this heritage to science seems to have been systematically neglected. These considerations are not new in the light of the history that shapes them, especially since these knowledge systems give rise to various epistemological, social, political and media considerations. This call for contributions aligns with the philosophical concerns of Valentin Yves Mudimbe, advocating for the construction of an “indigenous science” that seeks to understand African socio-cultural realities by reinventing Africa.

    European war ruins and their uses (19th-21st century)

    Today, the terrible sight of the destruction in Ukraine awakens memories throughout Europe of the war landscapes of earlier conflicts, from the Napoleonic Wars to the war in former Yugoslavia. The aim of the conference is to explore the relationship that post-war societies have with the vestiges of conflict and the marks of war violence. Through the political, social, economic, cultural and memorial uses of these particular vestiges, the relationship with a traumatic past will be explored.

    Agriculture, food and crises: challenges, strategies and innovations

    Revue « Études caribéennes »

    The populations of Small Island Developing States (SIDS), much more than those of other continental countries, are facing crises of different natures which threaten their ability to meet their basic food needs much more than other continental countries. In the intention to resolve these problems, several national and international actors have tried to combine their efforts in order to intervene, through different programs and projects, aimed at acting on the food and agricultural systems. These actions, as desirable as they may be, are not without undesirable costs for the environment. Some of these costs are detrimental to the sustainability of these systems. Thus, scientific and even philosophical reflections are necessary to address these questions.

    Visual Ecologies: Image experiences and lives in the age of Capitalocene

    While “ecology” refers in a general sense to the science that studies the relationships of living beings with each other and with their environment, it is also used more locally and transitively to qualify the study of a specific environment. Similarly, while visual ecology can be broadly understood as a relational study of the visual field, it also seems possible to imagine more singular visual ecologies, localized around a particular imagery (colonial studies, gender studies, femenism studies, ethnic studies, etc.). As such, images are no longer just representations, they are both environments and entities that can be transformed and transformed, forms of action that are part of a pragmatic experience of the world. The ecology of images, images of ecology, the ecological impact of images… the hypothesis formulated for this international colloquium is to think together these major directions between, on the one hand, the question of images and their circulation, and on the other, our climatic and environmental situation.

    Fifth Joseph Déchelette European Archaeology Prize

    The internationally renowned archaeologist Joseph Déchelette (1862-1914) was one of the founders of European protohistoric archaeology. The Association Joseph Déchelette, founded in 2010 by his great nephew Édouard Déchelette(†), would like to keep the memory of this great scholar alive and promote this discipline. It has therefore teamed up with various partners to establish the Prix Joseph Déchelette with a view to promoting the PhD research of a young archaeologist. This prize, created in 2016, is intended to be awarded every two years. The research that is the subject of the thesis must concern European protohistory, understood in a broad sense, both geographically and chronologically (Bronze age, Iron Age and Romanization). The jury will pay particular attention to the European dimension of the applications.
