On the Trail of Prehistoric Individuals
Scientific Challenges, Methods, Perspectives
This event aims to assess the current state of research on the identification of individuals in prehistoric archaeology, exploring methods to identify individuals from archaeological remains, whether lithic materials or other types of artifacts. It will also discuss the advantages, limitations, and future potential of these approaches, while considering what insights they can provide about the social and economic organization of past societies.

Conference, symposium - History
Le colloque vise à analyser les relations entre les groupes professionnels et le politique dans le contexte de transition vers la démocratie en Espagne et au Portugal dans les années 1960-1970. Il se focalise sur les professions libérales et intellectuelles. Sans déterminer directement la chute des régimes autoritaires de la péninsule Ibérique, ces groupes ont contribué à remettre en cause leur légitimité et à influencer les formes et les modalités de la démocratisation.

Connecting Courts and Coasts : Trade, Knowledge, and Cultural Networks in the Western Indian Ocean
From Post-Classical India to the Late Mughal Era
This conference explores the multifaceted networks of exchange that characterized the Western Indian Ocean from the Post-Classical period through the late Mughal era (approximately aligning with the Medieval to Early Modern periods in the West). The maritime connections between South Asia, the Middle East, and East Africa created intricate webs of commercial, intellectual, and cultural exchanges that profoundly shaped the region's historical development and fostered a deeper appreciation of societies across space and time.

Conference, symposium - Representation
This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. Are they merely objects of study, partners in creation, or autonomous agents in a larger process? How does the making of artworks define or blur boundaries between humans and other-than-humans?

Photography from the Struggles for Independence
Practices, circulations and aesthetics
The aim of this colloquium is to highlight the histories of photography generated during the processes of decolonization, while rethinking methodological and aesthetic approaches to the medium that are still too Western-centric. What has happened to the production and circulation of photographers and their images since the independence struggles? How did new iconographies, new aesthetics and, with them, new networks of visual exchange develop, complicating the one-sided visibilities and photographic circulations from the “South” to the “North” established during the colonial periods?

Shaping the Past. Rappresentazione, uso e manipolazione della memoria nel mondo antico
Seminario « Semi di Sapienza »
Ce séminaire affronte le thème - complexe et débattu - de la réception et de l'utilisation de la mémoire dans le monde gréco-romain et dans les sociétés du Proche et Moyen Orient antique et tardo-antique.
Le concept de "mémoire", déterminé en premier lieu dans les travaux de Maurice Halbwachs et, plus particulièrement en histoire ancienne, par Jan et Aleida Assman, est un instrument utile d'analyse. Le processus du souvenir, s'attachant habituellement à une dynamique neurologique strictement individuelle, peut être déterminé socialement. En effet, dans les communautés anciennes, la mémoire permet de s'identifier, de communiquer et de créer des normes. Par conséquent, la relation entre mémoire et passé est centrale pour définir les conditions des dynamiques identitaires des groupes sociaux. Ainsi, elle constitue un silon de recherche pertinent pour la recherche sur les communautés du monde ancien.

Subjectivités et liens communautaires dans les sociétés et les créations centraméricaines et caribéennes
Alors que géologues, stratigraphes, chimistes et climatologues débattent encore aujourd’hui de la pertinence scientifique du concept d’anthropocène, et tandis que l’action communautaire et la littérature imaginent et testent déjà des mondes possibles pour vivre en harmonie avec la planète et les êtres vivants avec qui nous la partageons, la menace d’un désastre imminent semble être plus présente que jamais parmi le grand public. La fin du monde serait-elle pour demain ? Ce colloque propose de réfléchir à la façon dont les désastres (catastrophes naturelles, pandémies, guerres civiles, dictatures, etc.) affectent la construction des subjectivités individuelles et les liens communautaires.

La Toison d’or, trophée pour des héros ambigus de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge
Si la quête argonautique et son dénouement tragique sont bien étudiés dans leur versant gréco-latin, leur devenir au Moyen Âge fait l’objet d’analyses moins nombreuses. Dans l’ensemble du corpus, l’imaginaire de la Toison d’or et les récits encadrant la quête argonautique restent aussi moins explorés. Phrixos, voué au sacrifice par son père Athamas, échappe à la mort grâce au bélier à la Toison d’or : l’animal mène le jeune homme en Colchide et prend symboliquement sa place sur l’autel. La Toison, dépouille sacrificielle, lui garantit pouvoir et fécondité. Une génération plus tard, Jason, parent de Phrixos, revendique ce trophée pour établir à son tour son royaume et sa lignée. Son mariage avec Médée assure temporairement sa victoire, mais la déloyauté du héros lui en ôte les fruits. Cette rencontre invite à replacer les deux héros dans leurs traditions parallèles et dans leur lien à ce trophée ambigu.

Thinking of Time and Space in East Asia (16th – 20th centuries)
In a past European research project, many of the speakers at this workshop gathered to explore how different actors in 16th-20th century East Asia conceptualized historical time. We mostly focused on representations of history and periodicity, particularly how different actors used topoi from the “European” historical past to shape their own perceptions of “East Asian” history. While discussing these questions, we realized that we could not think of time without thinking of space. What were the representations and uses of space underlying different intellectual activities and social practices, and to what extent did those representations shape the actor’s relation to history and time?

The Challenge of Inclusivity and Democratic Government in Social Contract Theory
Social contract approaches seek to explain the origins of political obligations but are also recognized as tools of social change. In the face of classic social contract philosophers, who maintained that normative legitimacy may be grounded in hypothetical agreement, recent accusations of exclusivity and anthropocentrism have challenged contract theories’ relevance. And yet, in spite of these challenges, contract theories have experienced a resurgence. This conference seeks to engage with this second wave of theories and reflect on the challenges of inclusivity and democratic government within contract theory from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Sinographic Forays into the Epiverse
Arpenter un paysage inscrit
Inscriptions can open up a world extending far beyond chisel marks on the stone surface. In eightroundtables, we propose to explore the rich cultural history of epigraphy in East Asia. By striding outits multiple dimensions of time and space, both physical and imaginary, scholars from the sinographic sphere with diverse disciplinary backgrounds will attempt to chart together the Epiverse. The experimental format of this conference aims at facilitating present and future collaborations in thefield, and defining common research paths on stone inscriptions and inscribed landscapes.

A Joint Science and Humanities Conference
Since several decades, Earth sciences have been highlighting the enormity of the metabolic disturbances induced by mass productivism on the global scale. The conference will notably consider the materials of the Anthropocene from a “metabolic” perspective, i.e. one that looks at the cycles of transformation of matter within the planetary ensemble, and also includes the social, political and economic representations shaping them.

Knowledge, Ideology and Public Discourse in contemporary China
Savoirs, idéologies et discours publics en Chine contemporaine
The pandemic, travel restrictions, and political ossification in China have all disrupted communications between Chinese scholars in the humanities and social sciences and their counterparts overseas. For this reason, there is a need to reengage with academic and intellectual trends in contemporary China. Taking inspiration from new methods in intellectual history and sociology of knowledge, we propose to focus specifically on the question of public knowledge. The conference will bring together a groups of scholars, including historians, social scientists and independent critics who, from a variety of geographical and disciplinary vantage points, are all engaged in observing and studying academic and intellectual trends in contemporary China.
