Call for papers - Geography

Literatures, geographical spaces and the fateful effects of borders

Alors que la frontière est dépeinte comme une limite nécessaire à toute société dans une logique d’organisation et d’administration, entre inclusion et exclusion, la question des déterminants d’une frontière (géographique) est posée. La mise en place ou même bien la postérité de frontières peut être considérée comme tenant à la fois de la contingence et de la nécessité. À l’image du mythe de Héro et Léandre, et de leur amour interdit, la littérature et les arts ont souvent fait de l’eau le marqueur d’une frontière « naturelle’ et ‘émotionnelle ». Dès lors, les éléments d’ordres naturels joueraient un rôle crucial sur la destinée des Hommes et des espaces.

Bringing monuments to life: Thinking about visitor experiences

Ce colloque vise à questionner le rapport des publics aux monuments à partir de la notion d’expérience, et cela dans une dimension internationale. Le terme d’expérience, souvent polysémique, se situe à la croisée de plusieurs disciplines (muséologie, sociologie, sciences de l’information et de la communication, tourism studies, etc.) qui interrogent la manière dont les visiteurs interagissent et s'approprient les lieux patrimoniaux.

Decolonial routes, knowledge, spaces and memories

Decolonial summer university SIRA (Savoirs, Idées, Réseau, Archives)

The symposium will critically examine what decolonization means and its implications in educational contexts. It seeks to challenge the power structures entrenched within academic institutions through a series of discussions that take place in spaces ranging from universities in the Global South to the Théodore Monod African Art Museum and the historic site of Gorée Island. These discussions aim to reconfigure the creative and resistant dynamics that continue to shape us. The connective movement between academic institutions and historically marginalized spaces—those imbued with histories of resistance—underscores the central thesis that “decolonization is not a metaphor.”

Making architectural history through the prism of environmental and decolonial issues

From historiography to the epistemology of history, what are the "new problems, new approaches, new objects" - taking up and updating the postures of Pierre Nora and Jacques Le Goff - new periodizations, new geographical areas of architectural history? This symposium aims to clarify the complexity of these narratives, which are both plural and situated, in order to better understand the methodological questions they raise and the contemporary issues they illuminate. It will question these new data and make them resonate with approaches that claim to be postcolonial and/or environmental. It will examine the epistemological implications of the use of certain notions, such as the anthropocene, and their mobilization in the field of architectural research.

The World in Celebration

Economies of Renewal and Transformation

The "celebration" or post-crisis period is not merely a moment of festivity but an opportunity for tension release, reinvention, collective creativity, and the creation of new identities and relationships. This symposium proposes to examine how, from an economic and organizational perspective, societies reshape, rebuild, and find new avenues for transformation after times of crisis, both systemically and discursively.

Indigenous Peoples and Mobility

Nomopolis journal will be devoting issue no. 3 to the mobility of indigenous peoples.This issue remains one of the areas to be explored within a growing body of indigenous research in the social sciences. Its importance is demonstrated by the decision of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples to devote his latest report to the United Nations General Assembly to this issue. This is the first systematic global study of the situation of mobile indigenous peoples. However, this situation represents only one aspect of the broader issue of the relationship between mobility and indigenous peoples, which also raises questions about the situation of those for whom mobility is not a way of life.

Au fil de l’eau et du temps

Spatialité et diachronie de la gestion de l’eau en Méditerranée

The conference organised on 28 and 29 November 2024 as part of Marina Covolan's CIVIS3i SeBNA - Water distribution systems in the ancient world: forms of continuity, permanence and subsistence in contemporary society, focuses on the supply, storage and disposal of water over the centuries. The aim is to compare technologies, structures and knowledge that are distant in time and space, but which seem to recur and have many points in common. Around a dozen French and European colleagues from Scotland, Spain, Italy and Sweden will be taking part, covering a wide range of subjects and fields. There will also be a poster session, mainly by young researchers working on current projects or PhD.

What is an eco-cultural niche? Rethinking the shape of eco-cultural niches

This workshop aims at bringing together ecologists, anthropologists, environmentalists and archaeologists, in order to discuss the definition of eco-cultural niches, a concept that was first proposed by Banks et al. 2006. Significant time will be given to open discussions in order to co-create a new theoritical framework for the analysis of human-environment macro-relationships in the past, using the approach of eco-cultural niche modeling. All scholars (students, teachers, researchers,...) interested in this approach can participate to the meeting and discussions.

Knowledge from the margins, marginal knowledge?

Sources, scope, and legitimacy of critical economic knowledge

The study of economic knowledge and its political influence has largely focused on central sites of power and on its academic production. This conference seeks to broaden that perspective by examining marginalized economic knowledge and the dynamics of its (de-)marginalization. It will specifically address the development of lay or relegated economic theories and practices, considering their logic of legitimation, the actors, spaces, and actions that generate them, and their relative autonomy. The conference will concentrate on the long twentieth century and welcomes proposals from all disciplines within the humanities and social sciences.

Crises of political legitimation and recompositions of forms of authoritarianism in post-2011 North Africa

Workshop - 6th Congress of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies

Some fourteen years after the Arab Spring, two observations need to be made. On the one hand, the current situation in the region is far from being in line with the hopes for democratization and justice that gave rise to the popular uprisings of 2011. On the other hand, the political dynamics underway in several countries (Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco) are marked by a return –or the emergence of new forms– of authoritarianism, associated or not with a rise in populism. We invite contributions that address the processes of authoritarian restoration or takeover through a variety of thematic entries and disciplinary approaches (political science, sociology, economics, anthropology, etc.).

L’industrie agroalimentaire, levier de la sécurité alimentaire et de la diversification économique

The agri-food industry, a lever for food security and economic diversification

Ce colloque international se propose d’étudier une thématique d’actualité sur « l’industrie agroalimentaire, levier de la sécurité alimentaire et de la diversification économique ». L’économie algérienne étant fortement dépendante des revenus générés par le secteur des hydrocarbures, sa diversification s’avère une option inéluctable. L’appui sur les secteurs stratégiques, parmi lesquels l’agriculture et l’industrie agroalimentaire, contribueront à réduire, de façon significative et à terme, le déséquilibre de la balance commerciale et d’en assurer la sécurité alimentaire.

On the Roads of Arabia: Itineraries by Land and Sea

From the Bronze Age to the Islamic Period

This topic will be addressed in the longue durée, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic period. The symposium will also examine the networks of exchanges with border regions such as the Indian subcontinent, the Horn of Africa and Egypt, as well as the empires of the Ancient Near East, and the Greek and Roman empires.

Perspectives historiques et comparées sur les enjeux politiques, juridiques et sociaux des questions palestinienne et sahraouie

The populations of Western Sahara and Palestine share the same denial: that of recognition, by third-party states, of a political subjectivity granting them the right to decide their own destinies. How can comparison and historical perspective on these two issues help us better understand their political, legal, and social dimensions? The aim of our proposal is, in fact, to highlight them, while at the same time trying not to overlook the differences, starting with the social structure of the two populations and their identity construction.

Territory(ies) and Gender(s) in the Americas

This international colloquium explores the links between gender(s) and territory(ies) in the geographical space of the Americas — or Abya Yala — from pre-Hispanic times to the present day. The plurality of the Americas, whether linguistic, political, or cultural, requires intersecting perspectives and approaches. This colloquium offers a multi- and interdisciplinary dialogue drawing from anthropology, sociology, literature, history, geography, political science, archaeology, and arts. It analyzes the dynamics of gender and territory from decolonial and intersectional perspectives.

Unwriting with Photography : Collaborative and Visual Anthropology

Le concept d’« unwriting » invite à repenser la transmission des savoirs en ethnologie en dehors du cadre traditionnel de l’écriture scientifique. Nous proposons d’explorer comment les approches dialogiques (Bakhtine, 1970 ; Turri Hoelken, 2024), visuelles et artistiques peuvent constituer des manières alternatives de raconter des histoires, en travaillant de façon collaborative avec les interlocuteur·ices tout au long du processus de recherche.

Impossible consolation ? Paradoxes et échecs d’une notion en débat de l’Antiquité à nos jours

Face aux fléaux en tous genres qui ont coutume de s’abattre sur le genre humain, les Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes. Avec l’invention du christianisme, la religion s’est appropriée cette mission en recyclant les méthodes anciennes par la perspective d’un au-delà rédempteur. Dès l’Antiquité toutefois, les méthodes consolatoires et les discours visant à soulage la peine sont discutés et parfois même remis en cause. Le colloque se propose d’examiner l’expression de ces résistances et de ces échecs, qui, à chaque époque, invitent à repenser les modalités de la relation à autrui et à interroger le statut de la consolation.
