On the other hand, it focuses on the political discussions and measures that shape the understanding of Enlightenment in a global context to this day.

  Terrorism, Counter-Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism in Contemporary Europe (1960s to the Present): Internationalisation, Circulation and Representations

  The aim of this conference is to examine the modalities and consequences of terrorist action, as well as the interweaving of anti-terrorist practices (public policies, legal frameworks, prevention) and counter-terrorist practices (operational, military or police actions) aimed at containing terrorism in societies which are not engaged in international warfare. The aim of this conference is to analyse the ways in which anti-terrorism and counter-terrorism have mutually redefined each other, while constantly reconfiguring the boundaries of political, military, police and legal interventions across the European continent from the second half of the 20th century onwards.In addition to this political and institutional approach, the conference will also look into the representations, as well as the social and media effects of these phenomena.

  Postdoctoral fellowship in Sociology of education

  Two-year contract, full-time postdoc fellowship in sociology of education, within the framework of the ERC-Consolidator BildungLearning project n°101043433 (https://bildunglearning.be/). The main objective of this project is to compare the modern philosophy of Bildung and the contemporary paradigm of the Learning Society (LS) by systematically analyzing their homological structures. Through this comparison, we aim to expose the important conceptual mutations of the ideal of educational autonomy occurring from the first paradigm to the latter This research combines history of philosophy and political philosophy. Through an analysis of political-educational narratives, we want to examine if the great narratives of the philosophical modernity – such as emancipation through self-cultivation – have become totally obsolete or ineffective, or if and how far they continue to be operating in current discourses under critical and fragmented forms.

  Long-term, shared experiences: the experience of collective musical improvisation

  "Filigrane" Journal #31/2026

  Free collective improvisation is commonly presented as a practice that seeks to create a musical performance spontaneously by deliberately avoiding the use of an "explicit referent". In its absence, improvisers rely heavily on their experience to act and react in a performance context, constituted by different socialities, the acoustics of the venue and, more generally, the environment. In the context of a given ensemble that has been practicing regularly over a long period of time, this experience acquired through the events encountered is enriching, both individually and collectively. This experience can be described as leading to a state of "having lived a sufficiently rich life not to be surprised by an unexpected event". In the context of this call for papers, our aim is to carry out an in-depth exploration of the multiple facets of the notion of musical experience, based primarily on observation of the daily practice of improvisers, in public performance but also in rehearsal or in experimental laboratories.

  Courtyards and patios in the Mediterranean

  The courtyard or patio house, based on the intimate appropriation of a fragment of sky at the heart of the domestic space, is a major archetype of human habitation. Deeply rooted in Mediterranean traditions, it surprises with its longevity and its ability to generate unique expressions, shaped by the diversity of physical and cultural contexts. This archetype, which has spanned the centuries, from the ancient world to contemporary projects, continues to inspire architects, thinkers, and creators, and has regained particular relevance in light of the challenges of the 21st century, as contemporary issues invite us to rethink modes of dwelling.  To explore these dimensions, the conference adopts a multidisciplinary approach structured around four cross-cutting themes. It is aimed at a diverse range of profiles—architects, historians, anthropologists, sociologists, archaeologists, artists, writers, climatologists, etc.—drawing on scientific contributions, feedback from architects, and artistic expressions.

  Urban Transformation in a New Geopolitical Era?

  Nexus Thinking in Energy, Food, Ecological and Mobility Transition

  Energy, food and ecological system transitions are linked to climate and social issues, as the consequences of rising greenhouse gases and fossil fuel-related use have become the calling card of the Anthropocene, and social conflicts and democratic crises are on the rise. The UERA conference will be of particular interest to scholars interested in systemic perspectives that go beyond mere command and control or dependence on a fixed set of normative frameworks.

  “Qualitative Management Research Review” Journal - varia

  Dans le paysage académique des sciences de gestion, la recherche qualitative reste souvent marginalisée au profit de démarches quantitatives considérées comme plus rigoureuses ou plus générales. Pourtant, la complexité des phénomènes organisationnels contemporains appelle des approches capables de saisir la richesse des contextes, des significations et des expériences vécues. La recherche qualitative, par sa capacité à explorer en profondeur les dynamiques humaines et sociales à l’œuvre dans les organisations, offre une voie essentielle pour comprendre autrement les réalités managériales. C’est dans cet esprit que s’inscrit le numéro inaugural de la Revue de la Recherche Qualitative en Management – 2RQM, qui souhaite affirmer la légitimité scientifique, la diversité méthodologique et la fécondité théorique de la recherche qualitative.
