    Heroisms in times of war

    Since the 2000s, scholarly interest in the concept of heroism has grown to the point where some now speak of heroism studies or heroism science. This emerging historiographical current now has a multidisciplinary academic journal, research centers, and even encyclopedias for American and German researchers. By considering these as complex phenomena, involving a variety of actors, tools, and horizons of expectation, we aim to decipher the elaboration of imaginary images of martial heroism.

    Eastern Bloc Universities as a Meeting Place for International Youth during the Cold War

    This study day on international mobility is part of the transnational turn in research on the Cold War, which in recent years has highlighted a certain permeability of the Iron Curtain. It will focus on the transnational movement of students. It will focus in particular on the universities of Eastern Europe as a place of sociability and cultural mixing, and as a meeting place for young people. It will look at the issues at stake and the ways in which these encounters take place, in order to understand their impact on the personal trajectories of these young people at a time when their identity and professional pathways are being forged.

    Women's voices on nobility

    This colloquium invites to compare, on the one hand, women’s history and, more specifically, women’s authorship and expression history without reducing them to the simple field of writing and, on the other hand, aristocracy and the concept of nobility’s history in particular. The aim will be to explore any feminine discourse conveying ideas about the nobility, whether from a nobility member, a woman from outside the nobility or a fictional female character. Contributions will likely cover a wide range of sources: theoretical treatises, epistolary or diaristic sources, memoirs, literary works, artistic and musical representations and even oral sources for the contemporary period.

    From writing on temples to the digital age: The means of dissemination and construction of history

    "Histoire Méditerranéenne" Journal

    This call is devoted to the means of disseminating and constructing history, from writing on temples to the digital age. This issue explores how the means of disseminating information have influenced, through the ages, the way history is told, transmitted and interpreted. By combining historical approaches with information and communication sciences, this issue aims to analyse the interactions between communication and historical dimensions across all historical periods, from the earliest times to the present era. This thematic issue seeks to examine the dialectic between mediums of dissemination and the construction of history, highlighting the continuities and ruptures between eras.

    Framing intimacy

    Plurality and Vulnerability in Ways of Building relationships

    La notion d’intimité est aujourd’hui communément utilisée, aussi bien dans les manières dont chacun∙e d’entre nous rend compte de ses relations que dans les espaces médiatiques et académiques. Elle permet de rendre compte des transformations qui ont affecté au cours des dernières décennies les manières de relationner, de faire couple et famille, et plus généralement des liens noués avec celles et ceux à qui nous tenons : le déclin des institutions à principe, la diversification des parcours des individus, la reconnaissance des minorités de genre et de sexualité notamment. Diversification et désinstitutionnalisation des relations questionnent de fait leurs frontières et leur teneur. Cela a pour conséquence de mettre au premier plan la dimension politique de l’intimité, non seulement dans les inégalités et les rapports de pouvoir qui caractérisent les relations intimes, mais aussi dans les opérations et les institutions qui définissent ce qu’est une relation intime, qui en reconnaissent certaines et en invisibilisent d’autres, qui déterminent les « bonnes » intimités et discréditent les autres. Qui et qu’est-ce qui définit une relation intime ? Quelles sont les diverses manières de relationner et comment sont-elles qualifiées ? Quels sont les enjeux politiques et historiques de cette notion ?

    Decolonial Studies 2015-2025 – State of the Field: Africas – Americas – Europe

    In 2015, the first conference dedicated to decolonial studies was held at Lumière University Lyon 2. Ten years ago, decolonial studies, born in South America, were little known in France. The Toulouse conference, to be held in October 2025, aims to take stock, ten years later, of decolonial studies in European, American, and African spaces (Francophone, Lusophone, and Anglophone).

    Paths, braiding, hybridizations: a planetary history of architecture and the urban

    Revue « Transversale, histoire, architecture, urbain, paysage » n°9 (2025)

    What we will question for this issue 9 of Transversale is how an architect's perspective and practice are formed when he travels or receives instruction abroad, and whether or not this results in a weaving of influences; is to question architecture as a paradigmatic cultural crossroads: figures of astonishing travelers-architects naturally, but also methods, processes, measurements, itineraries, flows...

    From Negotiation to Integration: Hegemony in Hellenistic Times

    Ce colloque se propose d'étudier la notion d'hégémonie à l'époque hellénistique, au prisme de quatre grands axes : sa définition concrète, ses mécanismes de mise en fonctionnement, ses applications concrètes, et ses limites. L'objectif de ce colloque est de se questionner sur l'applicabilité de comportements décrits comme ceux d'une puissance hégémonique, dans le monde issu de la désintégration du royaume d'Alexandre.

    Humanitarian aid: An unexpected driver of territorial planning

    « EchoGéo » Journal 76 (April-June 2026)

    It is generally accepted that humanitarian aid has an important political dimension. This issue will explore a particular dimension of aid’s political impact: the way in which it concretely shapes territories. This issue will bring together articles based on case studies where aid has played a leading role in spatial planning, whether this planning process was deliberately perceived and designed as such or whether it became established de facto, without any concerted planning; whether it was the result of the intervetion of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and international organisations (IOs) or emanated from the State.

    Caring and treating: activities and challenges of work in the health field

    “Laboreal” - December 2025 issue

    With this dossier of Laboreal, we invite authors to contribute with articles that address work in the health field today, considering the diversity of situations in which care and treatment activities are developed and the plurality of protagonists involved. Based on the understanding that such activities are characterized by service relations, cooperation, and the articulation of knowledge, we aim to gather articles that focus on how workers collectively mobilize to provide care and the strategies constructed to meet the demands of clients/users.

    Tailoring identities

    The long history of the masculinisation of womenswear

    Cette journée d'étude a pour objectif de revenir sur la transformation du vestiaire féminin du XVe au XXe siècle lorsqu'il emprunte à différents ressorts de mode masculine, ainsi que sur les pratiques de cross-dressing. Elle entend analyser comment l’art des tailleurs a accompagné la définition progressive d’une silhouette s’éloignant des apparences de la féminité normative, et examiner comment les emprunts au vestiaire masculin ont permis à des personnes en dissidence avec les normes de genre d’exprimer indépendance, résistance ou appartenance – de manière visible ou (quasiment) invisible. En se penchant sur l’intersection entre mode et identité(s), elle espère la variété des manières par lesquelles le vêtement a permis les expressions individuelles, mais aussi combien il a été, au-delà d’elles, un moyen de résistance et de négociation des normes sociales.

    Underground Monuments in the Literatures and the Arts of the Global South

    During this conference, we will aim to question the modalities through which an underground power could be exercised and embodied, one that refuses to establish domination, whether through its actions or through the signs that materialize it. We propose to conduct this reflection from the perspective of the Global South, as spaces that are often identified, notably, by the subordinate position they are deemed to occupy within historical, cultural, and economic power relations in colonial or postcolonial contexts. Reflecting on the conditions under which an underground force and monumentality might emerge could allow for a reconfiguration of the established balances within the Global South, by considering other criteria for defining power.

    The Nearness of Architecture

    To Build for the Local Community

    Currently perceived in a largely positive way, 'nearness' has become a trendy concept, which is also valued in architecture and urban planning : use of bio-based and geo-based materials, return to hand drawing, setting-up of agencies in rural areas, renewed interest in critical regionalism, etc. Far from being new, and also going with a dark side, this notion applied to architecture and urban planning deserve exploration over the long term (18th-21st centuries) in order to enrich and qualify current reflections and practices. The conference aim to bring into dialogue the work of researchers (in architecture, architectural and urban history, sociology, geography, urban planning, etc.) and testimonies from local actors in architecture and territorial planning (elected officials, local authority professionals, architects, urban planners, etc.).

    In 2024, the 77th Festival of Cannes' short film competition selected Amarela (2024),a film by Japanese-Brazilian director André Hayato Saito, which focuses on the experiencesof Japanese-Brazilians. This event reflects a growing interest in a diverse, transnational, andmultilingual filmography on the subject of the Japanese diaspora, particularly theJapanese-Brazilians, who are the largest group affected by return migration (or “detourmigration” (Perroud, 2007)) to Japan. This Young Researchers Colloquium aims atvisualizing and discussing that film corpus and its aesthetic, socio-historical andmethodological issues.
