  French archaeology archives abroad : what collaborations?

  "Interdisciplinarity is part of the very definition of archaeology. To interpret their data, archaeologists need others. They are not alone, but they know this and embrace it." While interdisciplinary collaboration is indeed necessary and commonplace for the interpretation of archaeological data, the same is not true for their management and preservation according to archival principles. However, collaboration with archivists is essential during and after research programs to ensure the proper preservation of data throughout their life cycle and to build future archival heritage.

  French in Contact and in Context(s): Linguistic and Didactic Perspectives

  Contextes et Didactiques n° 26, 2025

  This issue 26 of the journal Contextes et Didactiques is a follow-up to the 3rd International Colloquium of the Observatoire des Pratiques Langagières Actuelles (OPLA), which took place on 15 April 2025 at the University of the West Indies and on 29 April 2025 at the University of Geneva. The aim of the OPLA project, to be implemented in 2022, is to provide information on the current social and cultural situation of French speakers through the prism of their language practices. It also aims to contribute to the development of French language teaching practices that are more consistent with the realities of language as perceived by learners, teachers and trainers. In this context, a number of conferences and symposia have been held to showcase the progress of the work and to put it in dialogue with others working on the same issues. This issue 26 highlights the results of the discussions at the most recent colloquium.

  The making of education in the South

  RIED 261

  This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).

It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

  Radicalism(s) and Social Resilience

  Youth Confronted with Uncertainty

  L’objectif de ce séminaire international est de stimuler la réflexion interdisciplinaire autour de la question des radicalités des jeunes, dans ses différentes formes et à travers des approches aussi diverses que possible. C’est aussi une invitation à dépasser la dichotomie entre l’approche macrosociologique centrée sur le « pourquoi » et l’approche microsociologique subjective et processuelle séduite par « le comment ». Dépassement à même, estimons-nous, d’appréhender la question des radicalités dans sa complexité mêlant l’histoire de l’individu, de l’institution et du contexte. A cet égard, il importe de comprendre les sens, que donnent les jeunes à leurs engagements dans chacune des causes ou des pensées radicales, sens qui ne cessent de gagner en visibilité partout dans le monde (montée du néonazisme, de l’extrême droite, des mouvements régionalistes, etc.).

  Ordre et désordre dans la presse

  Nouveaux métiers, matérialité des imaginaires et duels de plume et d’épée au cours du long XIXe siècle

  L’objectif de ce colloque international, organisé par le Dipartimento di Civiltà e Forme del Sapere dell’Università di Pisa et le Centre de la Méditerranée Moderne et Contemporaine (CMMC) de l’Université Côte d’Azur, est d’approfondir la connaissance des formes de l’essor inédit de la presse à partir de la fin du XVIII^e siècle, et jusqu’à la Première Guerre mondiale. Il s’inscrit dans la lignée d’un renouvellement historiographique en cours. Pour cette nouvelle manifestation, il s’agit d’appréhender de nouveaux pans de la grande transformation médiatique à travers trois axes : le rôle de la presse dans la mise en ordre ou en désordre du monde social, suscitant, confortant ou renversant des imaginaires sociaux, y compris ceux qui concernent les actrices et acteurs du champ médiatique ; l’importance des producteurs/productrices et des productions d’iconographie journalistique (caricatures et illustrations) ; et les formes des violences générées par la presse, qu’elles émanent du public, des autorités, ou bien qu’elles aient lieu entre journalistes.

  Endogenous Knowledge, Education and Development in Cameroon

This call for papers therefore, encourages researchers and stakeholders to explore how endogenous knowledge can create a more equitable, relevant, and effective educational framework for Cameroon's development.

  Risk at work

  Literary paradigms and research perspectives

  Ce colloque se propose d’explorer la centralité et la complexité du concept de risque dans la littérature de langue française dès le début du XX^e siècle jusqu’à nos jours. L’initiative s’insère dans le cadre du projet de recherche Déclinaisons du risque : pour une archéologie des imaginaires littéraires des XX^e et XXI^e siècles (PRIN 2022), développé par les équipes de recherche en Littérature française des universités de Turin, Bergame et Naples Federico II. Adoptant une approche interdisciplinaire, le projet vise à mettre en lumière la manière dont le risque — communément étudié dans les sciences exactes et sociales — revêt, dans les pratiques littéraires, la signification d’une incertitude intrinsèque à tout projet créatif.

  Sexual offending: The evolution of associated issues, as well as its social, legal and clinical realities

How are social, legal and clinical perspectives and practices evolving? This thematic issue aims to review current scientific knowledge on sexual delinquency from various perspectives and disciplines, as well as identify the issues inherent in the evolution of these perspectives.

  Negociating images. Dialogical photography practices in anthropology

  Civilisations journal (vol. 75, 2026)

  This special issue will explore dialogical photographic practices in which the image becomes a space for exchange. Photographers, like ethnologists, play a role of mediator who stimulates collective understanding. More than a mere document, photographs here are perceived as a relationship and a site for the co-construction of meaning. This approach invites us to think differently about methodologies and the restition of ethnographic works. At the heart of our reflection is the question of what methods are put into place, and the issue of power and control overs images, alongside the ethical and economic implications of collaborative approachs used by visual anthropology. We invite potential contributors to explore innovative forms of visual narration, for example those that make use of dialogical presentations, multimedia practices, pratical use of archives, or even digital tools, in particular open-source ones.

  Praise for the historian’s craft: What's new?

  Or historical experience and its epistemological sublimation

  Taking the example of Marc Bloch as its starting point, this workshop is not intended as a tribute to the man he was, nor as an exegesis of his work. Rather, it invites us to engage in a kind of role-playing, in which we take up Marc Bloch's question: are we in a position to propose new appraisals for the historian’s craft? This workshop is organized around two major themes: the epistemology of history today, and the experience lived by the professional researcher in troubled times.

  Situated-design : issues and perspectives

  Situated-design can be defined as a new approach to design that is part of a contextual dynamic in which creation and design take full account of: materials, know-how, social practices, and the uses of territory, landscapes and environments, as active elements in the design process. In opposition to the dominant productivist model of industrial design, situated design is particularly distinguished by its commitment to preserving and enriching environments.
