The proliferation of machine vision systems and generative AI models has recently transformed part of our visual culture, giving rise to new typologies of moving images that require us to re-examine certain key concepts. Organised by the LIRA (Laboratoire International de Recherches en Art) and the IRCAV (Institut de Recherche sur le Cinéma et l’Audiovisuel) at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, with the contribution of the IUF (Institut Universitaire de France), this international conference will explore the implications of AI algorithms and models on the concept and practice of montage, questioning its historical theories, analysis and gestures, as well as its forms and techniques in the field of generative images.

“Making place” in the contemporary city
The interest of this issue of Territoires en mouvement Journal lies in grasping the making of a place as a plural dynamic, bringing to light the processes at work in the social production of urban spaces, depending on the diachronic and synchronic scales and the situations under observation. The aim here is to ask researchers from all disciplines to narrow their analytical focus and use place as a tool for describing and understanding contemporary cities. Every place is unique, but every place is part of the history of cities and urban development.

New initiatives to measure the well-being of populations are proliferating around the world. In 2011, the OECD developed the Gross Domestic Happiness Index for its member countries. In 2016, the United Arab Emirates established a Ministry of Happiness. As an extension of these initiatives, the Development Research Center (DRC), with the support of the Global Development Network (GDN), which is implementing a program funded by the French Agency for Development (FAD), has launched a pilot research project for the period 2023-2025, which aims to develop a well-being index based on the deep aspirations of the Ivorian population. This symposium has been organised to discuss the results of this research and to draw lessons from similar or related work carried out elsewhere in the world, particularly in Africa.

Conference Transmission and learning.
How do children engage in ritualised daily practices and rituals?
This interdisciplinary conference addresses the processes and experiences oftransmission and learning of knowledge and competences to and by children, withoutpresuming a priori the limits of childhood. The central question that will guide thediscussions concerns the ways in which ritualised contexts – secular or religious – providea vehicle for the integration and transformation of knowledge, ways of thinking, normsand values, skills and attitudes within various socialising frameworks. The conference willtherefore contribute to the debates on the conditions for the perpetuation and change ofsocial practices in general, and (co)educational practices in particular, in different regionsof the world and in different eras.

Residue and Oblivion: Manufacturing Toxic Legacies
Cross-reflections based on the exemplary case of asbestos. 20th - 21st centuries
Several studies in environmental history and the sociology of science have already shown how, regarding asbestos as other toxic substances, the narrative of the sudden “awareness” of their harmful effects was a fiction, actually and that a number of stakeholders were well aware of asbestos pathogenic effects as early as the early 20th century. The circulation and appropriation of this knowledge did not take place in linear fashion. Now, what are the possible trajectories of a toxic substance after it has been banned? This is the question this conference aims to answer.

Natural history museums and contemporary issues: what discourses on collections?
In France, museology as an academic field is torn between multiple disciplines (history of art, information and communication sciences, history of science, anthropology, etc.). However, until now there have been very few spaces dedicated to the specific problems arisen by naturalist collections, from a museological point of view. In its first year, the seminar "Museums and contemporary issues: what discourse on natural history collections?" is looking at the issues raised by the specificities of natural history collections and the museums that keep and curate them.Every month, it brings together researchers and curators around a general question: how do the exchanges between museums and the actors of civil society transform the discourse associated with collections?

African Sovereignty, Contentious Foreign Policy and 'Unidplomatic' practices
Panel of the European Conference on African Studies (ECAS) 2025
In recent years, accredited representatives and international organisations officials found themselves in the middle of intense diplomatic clashes in African contexts. The recent shift in geopolitical alliances in the Sahel area, for instance, has displayed dramatic cases, with top diplomats (foreign ambassadors, UN heads of mission, and even African Union top leaders) being denied visits, or declared persona non grata, or even expelled, sometimes manu militari. Similar cases occurred in 2021 in the midst of the war in Tigray, Ethiopia. In other instances, national authorities erect administrative impediments aimed at hindering foreign diplomats’ day-to-day activity. These few examples of diplomatic clashes were politically justified by competent authorities in the name of sovereignty in contexts of rapidly changing international partnerships. The purpose of our panel is to identify and examine the diplomatic practices by which official representatives of African states contest the international order and seek to enact sovereignty towards their external environment.

The CIDEHUS (Interdisciplinary Center for History, Cultures, and Societies) is a non-profit research unit in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences. Its core discipline is History, and its scientific program focuses on studying the impact of diversity and changes in the South over the long term. The "South" it engages with is multifaceted: not only the South of Portugal but also this political formation in the context of Southern Europe and the geographies of the southern hemisphere with which it has had historical ties in the past. It publishes two collections of academic books, both of which undergo scientific peer review by international committees, using the "double-blind peer review" system. These collections are titled: "Biblioteca - Estudos & Colóquios" and "Fontes & Inventários." As the name suggests, the latter is dedicated to disseminating research tools and sources that aid researchers in their work.

Circulation of objects, practices, and techniques between Central and Western Europe (1000-1600)
This doctoral workshop aims to explore approaches that interrogate the flow of objects, practices, and techniques within the broadly understood realm of material culture, in contexts of production or consumption. The title of this workshop focuses on geographical Europe, but the emphasis on the European Middle Ages is first and foremost a way of accounting for a material unity on a European scale, beyond political entities. Firstly, it turns out that, when everyday objects used by a large number of people become mass-consumed products, forms of standardization on a large spatial scale must be questionned, as well as its consequences, i.e. a number of similarities.

Call for Papers: Masculinities in Migration
Building on the achievements of feminist approaches to migration, this call for papers invites contributions that place gender—masculinity—at the heart of their thinking. The aim of this thematic folder in preparation is to look beyond the figure of the “breadwinner” (a man who migrates to feed a family back home) in order to explore the plurality of masculinities that emerge in migration. This call for papers is open to contributions from a range of social science disciplines, dealing with a variety of historical and geographical contexts.

Sung poetry in Amazigh and Arabic languages
Revue « Poésies toutes ! »
This inaugural issue of Poésies toutes ! aims to deal with sung poetry in Amazigh and Arabic languages, based on the observation that in these two linguistic domains, poetry and song are important components of culture, if not the most important. This cultural affinity extends to the age-old relationship between these two arts. They are, in a way, two sides of the same coin.This publication will be divided into two parts. Each of them will bring together contributions that explore sung poetry in the three idioms : Amazigh and Arabic, taking into account the diversity and linguistic particularities specific to each of them.

Imaginaires politiques, sociologie électorale, pratiques militantes. (Europe, 1918-1945)
Le présent colloque propose de relancer le chantier de la place du vote dans l’accession des mouvements fascistes au pouvoir – ou dans leurs aspirations à le faire – dans l’idée d’éclairer la place de la dynamique électorale dans la faillite des démocraties et leur processus de désintégration. Le cadre chronologique creste celui, strict et traditionnel, des années 1918-1945, où se multiplièrent, partout en Europe, des mouvements fascistes et où s’installèrent dans certains pays, des dictatures fascistes ou des gouvernements autoritaires comportant une composante fasciste. Trois directions principales seront explorées : le programme politique du fascisme, l’histoire matérielle des campagnes électorales et du vote, enfin la sociologie électorale.

Since 2023, the PIOMIG project “Pioneers of Global Migration (16th- 21st centuries)”, supported by the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme et de la Société - Sud-Est (MSHS-SE) and the Institut Convergences Migrations (ICM), has been studying so-called “pioneer” migratory phenomena, which lie upstream and on the margins of the major migratory currents already well identified in scholarly literature. After organizing a first workshop, which enabled us to better define this notion (https://epi-revel.univ-cotedazur.fr/publication/pionniers-migrations), we propose to convene a symposium on December 4, 5 and 6, 2025. This symposium will provide an opportunity to present the original material collected and analysed in recent years, and to compare it with other approaches and studies on related subjects.

Workshop organized with the support of Le Mouvement Social, Paris
The workshop, organized with the support of the journal Le Mouvement Social, aims to shed a new light on current discussions about archives and address methodological and epistemological issues in studying marginalized individuals and groups. First, we aim to address marginality as a category of analysis. Second, we encourage reflections on cross-reading administrative and police archives with community archives. Finally, we welcome papers that focus on the materiality of archives.
