    Calligraphies at the Frontiers of the Islamicate World: Practices, Circulations, and Appropriations

    This conference marks the conclusion of the research programme CallFront, dedicated to the study of Arabic-script calligraphy at the frontiers of the Islamic world. It will explore several themes central to the project, including the evolution of styles, the transmission of knowledge and calligraphic practices, as well as the symbolic and spiritual dimensions of certain uses of writing. The event will also highlight the programme’s achievements, with a round table devoted to the contribution of digital tools to the analysis of scripts, a presentation of the publications produced within the framework of the project, and the screening of a film based on fieldwork missions, offering an immersive insight into the practices under study.

    Gérard Lebrun ou l’envers de la philosophie

    Histoire et critique du discours philosophique

    Le colloque « Gérard Lebrun ou l’envers de la philosophie » met à l’honneur une figure française de l’histoire de la philosophie de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle : Gérard Lebrun (1930-1999), Professeur d’histoire de la philosophie moderne à l’Université de Provence du début des années 1960 à la fin des années 1990, spécialiste de philosophie allemande classique et fin connaisseur de l’ensemble de l’histoire de la philosophie des Grecs aux contemporains. Pendant trente ans, Lebrun partagea son activité d’enseignant et de chercheur entre l’Université de Provence à Aix-en-Provence, l’Université de São Paulo au Brésil, et plus occasionnellement l’École Normale Supérieure de la rue d’Ulm, où il forma des générations d’étudiants. Son influence fut puissante et durable au Brésil, même si, en France, Lebrun est moins connu que d’autres « habitués » de l’USP des années soixante, tels Michel Foucault ou même Gilles Gaston Granger.

    Rereading, (re)emergence, appropriation: What is to be done with the art of the past?

    The writings of art historians, like the works of art themselves, are a place of emergence, return, and incessant reinterpretation. This dialogue between periods at the heart of both artistic creation and the narrative of our discipline will be the subject of the 2026 edition of the Ecole de Printemps. Proposals for papers could present case studies, where a work or body of work quotes, repeats, adopts, or readapts earlier images, objects, or monuments. They might analyse historiographical reinterpretations by considering them as transhistorical interventions and reappropriations – whether textual, visual or museum-based.

    The Age of Trauma and Memory: Literature’s Role in Shaping (Post)Conflict Narratives and Meanings

    The international conference responds to the need to rethink how literature shapes memory and figures trauma in (post)conflict situations by focusing on active, unresolved or ongoing, antagonisms. It aims to investigate both the analysis of narrative forms that evoke trauma and their deciphering, interpretation and reception, striving to grasp not only the expressive but also the performative dimension of writing.

    Artifices and Artefacts

    International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT- SAD 2026)

    From May 25th to 27th, 2026, BeloHorizonte/MG - Brazil will once more be the site of the International Congress of Art, Science, and Technology and Digital Arts Seminar (11th CIACT-SAD). It has as its theme for this edition: “Artifices &Artefacts”. It emerges from techniques and poetics, from software and code, from manual and automated actions, but also from cultural and artistic objects—whether physical or not—born from production in the intersection of art, science, and technology. The theme of this edition reveals crossings between the analog and the digital without establishing hierarchies.

    Industrialisation et (dé)professionnalisation de la communication à l’ère des outils d’intelligence artificielle

    The communication professions are currently undergoing profound transformations, driven by a combination of technological shifts, organizational imperatives towards agility, and a gradual shift toward algorithmic industrialisation, as well as deep societal questions. The advent of generative, predictive, and decision-making artificial intelligences is redefining the division of communicative labor, competency frameworks, professional identities, and the governance of know-how in this sector. Where professionals once excelled in writing, synthesis, creativity, and strategic thinking, what skills can they still assert compared to the features and performance of generative, analytical or predictive artificial intelligences? This issue aims to empirically investigate the effects of these processes on communication professions.

    When Emotion is Expressed

    Emotion is a natural phenomenon that is as much biological as it is psychological, linguistic and cultural, influencing individuals in the way they act, perceive and communicate. As a result, emotions are now considered to be the organising principle of thought and human relationships, a mode of semiotisation that is essential to understanding the dynamics of language, cognition and creation as productive mechanisms. This conference proposes to approach emotions at the discursive level, in terms of aesthetic performance, and through the prism of pedagogical practices.

    Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in a World in Crisis: What Response from Constitutional Law?

    Do crises and the risks they generate—particularly for peace, security, and democracy—have a transformative effect on constitutional law? Or at the very least, do they provoke tensions, breakthroughs, or innovative developments that could enhance the role of ESCR in judicial litigation? This workshop seeks to cross perspectives to examine whether and how the crises we face act as variables influencing the effectiveness of ESCR in constitutional law.

    The rhythm at the crossroads of music, text and dance

    Instituant un partenariat régulier entre la France et le Bénin en matière de musicologie, ce colloque se déroule en 2026 pendant deux jours au Bénin autour de la question du rythme en privilégiant une approche transdisciplinaire. Il s’agit d’étudier dans un premier temps la relation intrinsèque du rythme dans les champs musicaux, artistiques, choréologiques, rituéliques, puis de comprendre son fonctionnement extrinsèque avec l’environnement naturel, les rythmes biologiques, physiologiques, sociologiques et cosmiques en interrogeant la question des épistémicides.

    Morice Awwad: Poetry, Language, and Lebanese Culture

    Morice Awwad Chair invites scholars and researchers to explore the work of Morice Awwad (1934–2018), a major figure in contemporary Lebanese poetry.  Awwad forged a distinctly Lebanese aesthetic by articulating cultural heritage with the challenges of modernity—marked by fragmentation, war, exile, and linguistic tension. By asserting the singularity of “Lebanese” as a language of poetic creation, he developed a mode of being and expression situated between strong local belonging and openness to the universal.

    Books and manuscripts in exile since the 19th century

    Throughout the 19th and 20th centuries, books and manuscripts found themselves in forced exile in Europe. Requisitioned during military occupations, such as the books looted by the Nazis during the Second World War, they were also pillaged in the context of colonisation. These cultural objects also went into exile, accompanying exiles fleeing authoritarian, totalitarian regimes or war zones. In this conference, we would like to study the historical phenomenon of books and manuscripts in exile, both from a historiographical perspective and in terms of their heritage value.

    Empathy and justice in the Mediterranean: when emotions become the norm

    Mutations en Méditerranée research journal, issue no. 4

    This call for papers invites contributions that examine empathy as an emotion constituting the sense of justice, and that analyze how it shapes, nourishes or challenges legal and social norms. Justice, understood as a system for regulating conflicts and distributing rights, requires a degree of empathic projection : understanding the situation of others, perceiving their harm, imagining their point of view. This interconnection runs throughout history, from the earliest legislative texts to contemporary debates.
