  Edmund Husserl’s Origin of Geometry and its legacy

  Made famous by the publication of Jacques Derrida’s Introduction, which was the first and only translation into French, the third appendix to The Crisis of the European Sciences and Transcendental Phenomenology, better known as The Origin of Geometry, constitutes a crucial moment for understanding Edmund Husserl’s thought and legacy. Originally an untitled manuscript from 1936, the few pages that make up The Origin of Geometry were first published in 1939 in the Revue international de philosophie thanks to Eugen Fink, before being included in the first edition of the sixth volume of the Husserliana series in 1954. However, this text has progressively acquired a considerable influence mainly in the French-speaking world during the last seventy years, giving rise to a proliferation of remarkable interpretations, which have not ceased to influence philosophers, anthropologists and scientists who engage with them, thus paving the way to a conceptual fecundity on which we intend to concentrate.

  The court escapes the city.The countryside as political asset from the Middle Ages to the early modern period

  The idea of heading off to the countryside is associated nowadays with a wish to get away from a stressful, noisy, and at times oppressive and foul-smelling urban environment, to rest in peace and quiet, in healthy surroundings, in close contact with the bounties of the natural world and animals in their “natural” habitat. Far from any anachronistic intent, applying this expression to court studies is a call to scholars to adopt interdisciplinary approaches to examine the many ways in which aristocratic circles related to and interacted with their rural environment.

  Shaping Africa’s Future

  The primary objective of the international and interdisciplinary conference consists in scrutinizing the multilayered issue of Africa in the making. It demonstrates an intellectual alignment that scholars and academics from diverse affiliations have persistently endorsed: the African continent incorporates the genes of replenishment for, it has a boundless prospective for economic, cultural and political regeneration. The African resumption conception is a long-standing notion. In Gargantua, the narrator uses a proverb quoted by Erasmus in the axiom 2610 which quintessence is borrowed from Pliny the Elder and Aristotle: Ex semper Africa aliquid novi. Encumbered with negative values (Afro-pessimism), positive tenets (Afro-optimism) or beheld according to the procedures of stringent scientific judiciousness, Africa is a continent that counts. As such, it has the status of a fatality engraved at the core of the tragedy of History, as the ideologists of Negritude have already assumed.

  What architecture does to ecology

  All over the world, the fight against global warming, the management of resource scarcity, and the preservation of biodiversity increasingly determine the design and construction of buildings and urbanized spaces. This symposium aims to wonder about the possible retroaction effects: if ecology undoubtedly changes architecture, to what extent does architecture also change ecology?

  Between communication and participation

  Usages du « transmedia storytelling » en aménagement et urbanisme

  Ce colloque s'intéresse au croisement de la communication et de la participation, aux usages du transmedia storytelling en urbanisme. La recherche en études urbaines s’est largement intéressée à la manière dont l’exercice de l’urbanisme, tant du point de vue de la planification que du projet, s’apparentait aux pratiques narratives. De plus en plus régulièrement, la planification et le projet urbain recourent au récit pour communiquer leurs intentions. Or le récit ne mobilise pas qu’un seul support. Il est traduit en différents médias. Notre hypothèse est que cette traduction vise l’implication du public dans l’élaboration de récits parallèles. Ce sont les interactions entre un « système médiatique », une diversité de « plateformes », une hétérogénéité des « publics » et une multiplicité des « modes d’engagement » qui doivent être analysées.

  The Hanse and the Atlantic 1300–1500 actors, trade, and conflicts

  The merchants of the German Hanse – a commercial association active from the middle of the 14th century – are mentioned at the end of the Middle Ages all around the North and Baltic Seas, where they dominated trade for a long time. However, although the presence and activity of the Hanse in the Atlantic area is well documented, it remains little studied in historiography. In the case of France, the lack of scientific cooperation with Germany at the end of the 19th century, when major German publishing programmes resulted in the publication of the main editions of Hanse sources, led to a serious lack of representation of French archives in these collections, which are still used assiduously by German researchers.

  Institutional photographic practices in the production, management and uses of public spaces (19th-21st century)

  Au croisement de deux principes de visibilité de l’action de ces institutions, dans l’espace et sous forme d’images, on s’intéressera aux corpus iconographiques et aux pratiques visuelles qui sont liés aux activités d’institutions qui construisent, gèrent ou utilisent des bâtiments. Centrer l’étude sur les institutions dans le temps long de leurs activités et la diversité de leurs missions permettra d’élargir la focale par rapport à la commande architecturale, en la recontextualisant plus largement et en s’intéressant aussi aux usages et à leurs temporalités complexes. L’attention portée aux institutions (par contraste avec les agences d’architecture par exemple) permettra soit de se focaliser de manière diachronique sur un maillon du système institutionnel allant de la construction à la gestion des bâtiments, soit d’observer de manière synchronique une continuité d’action.

  Ecological histories of photography. Science, politics, philosophy, materiality

  Revue « Transbordeur. Photographie, histoire, société »

  Using a long-term historical perspective, this issue of Transbordeur will examine the relationship between photography and ecology as understood in multiple ways: 1) ecology as an interdisciplinary science that emerged in the nineteenth century, 2) the specific political agenda of different movements defending environmental causes as public concern for them increased significantly in the second half of the twentieth-century 3) ecology as the object of social and philosophical movements which have brought into question the binary opposition of nature and culture in Western society, and finally 4) the ecological impact of the photographic industry in its dependence on extraction, petrochemical derivatives, and more recently digital technologies.

  Migration and Development. Political Implications

  Since the middle of the 2000s, the subject of the relationship between migration and development has become a mainstream issue. Considered as commonplace institutional object, present at all levels of public action, the migrations development nexus is characterized today by a depoliticized and instrumental treatment, based on an economic approach. This institutional depoliticisation tends to invisibilize the political dynamics to which it contributes. With this in mind, this special issue aims of Revue Européenne des Migrations Internationales to bring the critical studies of the relationship between migration and development back to the center of the scientific debate. It aims at grasping the contemporary political processes running through the discourses, practices and governance spaces of migration and developement initiatives, while contributing to the development of scientific knowledge of contemporary political and militant struggles in the field of migration and development.

  The animal in the Asian imagination : alter or alter ego ?

  This conference proposes to explore the polysemy of the imaginary of the animal, especially the wild animal, in Asia and its functions: is it an "alter ego", a protective animal, bringing to humanity its own powers or a radical "alter", which represents a world other than humanity; what are the stakes of these various representations for humanity as well as for the sharing of the planet with the animal world? It seems to us that if man symbolically acquires the power of the animal, it is on the condition that he remains beyond a real or metaphorical man/animal border. Faced with the disappearance of primary spaces and non-modernized populations, the wild animal thus seems the ultimate reservoir of the anti-modern, of what escapes the anthropocene, what is not "for" humanity.

  The aim of this colloquium is to lead a cross-cultural analyse of the action and political thinking between the 11th century and the beginning of the 13th century – period frequently neglected in favor of the 13th-14th centuries, characterised by the rediscovery of the Aristotelician political corpus –, and primarily to manage to combine these two aspects of the power.

  Regimes of belief, regimes of truth

  The choice of the title "Régimes de croyance, régimes de vérité" (regimes of belief, regimes of truth) meets two requirements. The first is the desire not to restrict the analysis of the non-religious to a study by negation or absence. Whether we speak of agnosticism, atheism, indifference, irreligion or 'nones', the terms used to analyse this phenomenon is too often presented as the negative side of the religious. However, it seems necessary to show its positive components, which is made possible by using the terms 'belief' and 'truth'. The second requirement is to better understand what distinguishes non-religious from religious. The reflections carried out during the seminar which preceded this Conference showed that the boundaries between these two universes of meaning are shifting, and that they share many characteristics. How are regimes of belief and regimes of truth deployed and articulated in a post-secular world?

  Around the Archive: Productions, Itineraries, and Social Practices

  7th Graduate Student Workshop of Center for Turkish, Ottoman, Balkan, and Central Asian Studies (CETOBaC)

  This day will focus on the issues of production, use, and circulation of primary sources in our research areas. It will allow each participant to present their work, reflect collectively, discuss how we collect, produce, and classify our archives, and deal with their interpretation. It will also question the processes of archiving and the dynamics of conservation, patrimonialization, and destruction of archives as sociopolitical issues. Finally, by taking advantage of the diversity of the cultural areas studied, we will reflect on the transmission and circulation of sources in their temporal and spatial backgrounds.

  Regulars and Nuns at War

  Practices and Experiences (15th-21st c.)

  This conference aims to analyze the individual and collective experiences of members of male and female religious orders facing war and related experiences, as actors and not simply as observers or victims. From the Wars of Religion to the conflicts of the Revolutionary Era, from guerilla warfare to the clashes of massed armies; from armed revolts to attempted ethnic cleansing, we will explore the agency of a specific category that is particularly relevant in Early Modern and Modern Catholicism: male and female members of religious orders, who live in a community by following a rule of life. While sharing at least partially the imaginaries, interpretative frameworks and codes of action of their contemporaries, these women and men experience war with its violence from a situated point of view; that of groups which see themselves as spiritual elites. It is therefore a question of pointing out the practical as well as the symbolic, spiritual, and psychological consequences of this belonging, without forgetting the conflicts of loyalty specific to these actors with multiple identities.
