  “Privileged Migrations” Studies and the Plurality of Power Relations

  This thematic dossier builds on the framework of privileged migrations studies to analyze the multiple power relations that are forged around international or overseas mobility, the resources that enable it, the benefits that it generates, the social mobility that it induces, and the forms of domination that it consolidates or reconfigures. This thematic dossier aims to account for dominant positions characterized by the accumulation of resources, advantages, and benefits accumulated through migration, as well as more ambivalent migratory experiences where the exercise of domination and the experience of minorization are intertwined and where migratory privilege must be nuanced. The contributions analyze the subjective experience of these advantageous social positions in migration, while approaching them relationally.

  « Prismi » nouvelle série, n. 5 - Varia

  From 2020 onwards, Prismi, a journal of Italian studies founded in 1996 by Bruno Toppan and produced by the Italian Department of the University of Lorraine, will be published in two volumes, in print and online. The regular annual publications now include three sections (at least two per issue), in order to better nourish and enhance the traditionally multidisciplinary character of the journal, giving a large place to Italian literature but also promoting the opening of the horizon towards a comparatism understood in the broadest sense and towards historical and cultural studies. For Issue 5 (to be published in 2024) only the Interlangues and Arcimboldo sections are being called for contributions.

  Diplomacy and Literature

  “Diplomacy and Literature” aims to examine the link and permeability between literature and diplomacy. Are Diplomacy and Literature two concentric circles? How does one become a writer? How is the diplomat-writer experience conveyed via literature? What cultural practices are being used? Who serves as a source of inspiration for writers-diplomats? Does language become a vehicle of culture? What are their preferred literary genres? How does diplomacy inspire literature? What is the ‘writers-diplomats’ contribution into shaping international relations? These are some of the questions that participants in the Conference will be asked to consider.

  (Cyber)bullying

  Le colloque international sur le (cyber)harcèlement (Cicy) envisage le phénomène de manière large, incluant les dynamiques de harcèlement (scolaire, moral, sexuel), de cyberharcèlement, de violence et de haine en ligne, dans des contextes sociaux variés et au sein de différents groupes sociaux. Les communications proposées ont tout d'abord trait aux enjeux définitionnels du (cyber)harcèlement et aux actions de lutte ou de prévention développées pour y faire face. Une attention est également portée aux rôles que jouent les affects, les émotions, les algorithmes ou encore les rapports sociaux de domination (dans une perspective intersectionnelle) dans les violences en ligne.

  Atmospheres in Film

  Revue « Ambiances »

  L′objectif de ce numéro de la revue Ambiances n’est pas de définir l’atmosphère au cinéma de manière définitive, mais plutôt de permettre l’émergence de nouveaux dialogues interdisciplinaires. Pour ce faire, nous accueillerons des contributions issues de différents domaines de recherche et qui proposeront des approches aussi bien esthétiques, techniques, historiques, communicationnelles, philosophiques, phénoménologiques que psychologiques. En diversifiant les approches de l’atmosphère au cinéma et l’éventail des œuvres étudiées (fiction, documentaire, expérimental, films d’animation, etc.), nous espérons que chaque article pourra agir comme une surface réfléchissante nous permettant de révéler la richesse de ce terme.

  Reconciling art and craftsmanship

  The conference examines the relationship that binds craftsmanship to the artistic field, through experiences examined in different countries, and asks the following questions: Is it imperative to set up an integrated training program for craftsmen across the whole Republic of Tunisia? Are the measures dedicated to the use of crafts as a privileged tool of the “anti-unemployment policy” sufficient? What is the responsibility of higher institutes of fine arts and crafts in Tunisia in promoting the sector? Designers and visual artists, will participate with their theoretical-practical projects, individual or collective, dedicated to this relationship between art and craftsmanship, to furnish an exhibition of arts and crafts objects, which will be organized in Tozeur in parallel with the conference.

  The Myth of Pentecost: literature, translation, theory, arts

  While there are countless studies devoted to the readings, representations and interpretations of the biblical myth of the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11:1-9), the rival narrative of the “miracle” of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4) and its reception have received much less attention. This applies both to the exegesis of the Bible text and to its various adaptations in literature, art, theory and translate on studies. While the myth of Babel has generally given rise to pessimistic conceptions of linguistic diversity, the episode of the “tongues of fire” descending on the Apostles, transforming them into universal translators-interpreters, capable of speaking and being heard in languages they have not learned, suggests a different vision of multilingualism, language, meaning, or translatability.

  Act for better sustainable cities

  Cette dernière décennie a été marquée par une hausse considérable des températures, les plus hautes jamais enregistrées. Ce réchauffement climatique engendre non seulement des risques environnementaux mais aussi des risques socio-économiques et sanitaires de plus en plus étendus. Désormais, villes et changement climatique sont intimement liés. Au niveau mondial, les villes consomment plus des deux tiers de l’énergie et sont à l’origine de plus de 70 % des émissions de CO2. Cette conférence est proposée dans le cadre des enjeux associés à la durabilité des villes de demain. Il s’agit de mettre l’accent sur la vulnérabilité environnementale et socio-économique dans les zones d’agglomérations et étaler les nouvelles solutions envisagées pour y faire face.

  Thinking cityness from East African cities

  “EchoGeo” – N° 67 (january-march 2024)

  This issue of EchoGeo seeks to explore East Africa’s contribution to the debate on cityness and city life in urban studies. This contribution has been growing over the past ten years, reflecting the accelerated urbanization of this part of the continent. Despite heterogeneous situations, the depth of the social transformations brought about by the urban transition has stirred major debates on city life and cityness in this part of Africa, once regarded as a bastion of African rurality. This initially led to the emergence of a scientific dialogue between East African cities themselves. However, this conversation has now opened up beyond this sub-region: researchers who work in East Africa have now engaged in broader international debates about city life, converse with urban scholars from other parts of the world, and are involved in comparative research projects that cross-cut regional divides (Rizzo and Atzeni, 2020).

  Les outre-mers français face aux risques : gestion, acceptabilité sociale et conflictualité

  Revue « EchoGéo »

  Les onze territoires habités sur les trois océans qui constituent les outre-mers français, se caractérisent par une exposition à des aléas dont les effets peuvent être particulièrement dévastateurs. Les événements exceptionnels engendrent des crises et révèlent rapidement les défaillances des systèmes d’urgence notamment sanitaire. Une nouvelle façon d’appréhender les risques par la vulnérabilité et l’exposition des enjeux a conforté une logique institutionnelle, mais celle-ci se heurte, bien qu’en apparence plus participative, à l’opposition des habitants des espaces ultramarins. L’objectif de ce dossier de la revue Echogéo est précisément de mettre au centre de l’analyse le rapport des habitants ultramarins avec les risques auxquels ils sont confrontés et à leur gestion.
