    To Build the World Anew, 70 Years after Bandung: What Solidarity for an African-Asian Common Destiny?

    Le colloque se base sur l’invitation du président Sukarno, architecte de la Conférence afro-asiatique, dans son mémorable discours à l’Assemblée générale des Nations unies (30 septembre 1960), pour reconstruire le monde. Au cœur de cette vaste entreprise, se trouvent la solidarité entre l’Afrique et l’Asie, et leurs liens avec le reste du monde. Dans une perspective trans- et multidisciplinaire, il s’agira pour les participant·es à la conférence de penser les formes et les modalités d’une solidarité entre les deux continents et à l’échelle du monde, qui permettrait de reconstruire un monde qui fait face à des crises multiformes et inédites.

    Architecture as a project for society: the teaching of Giancarlo De Carlo, twenty years after his death

    The aim of the call (papers and posters) is to update and put into perspective the teaching of the architect Giancarlo De Carlo, twenty years after his death. By reconnecting with the roots of a way of thinking that closely links theory and practice, the aim is to situate De Carlo's contributions within the theoretical and methodological debates of his time and to place his legacy in the context of the debates and practices that question the evolution of architectural education and their links (or lack of links) with contemporary professional practices. The combination of these two objectives should make it possible to open up a more global debate on the development of architectural education in the face of global changes.

    The Construction of Latin-American Historiography: An Inter-Cultural Dialogue

    In the field of architecture and urban history, the issue of cultural transfers has become a significant theme in the discipline, discussing the artifact in the space —i. e., the architectural object or the urban fabric— considering different mediations, from the circulation of images or printed texts to the circulation of practitioners. Nevertheless, the same approach can be applied to the writing of history itself,. This call for papers does not discuss the artifact but intends to question Latin America’s architecture, urban and landscape historiographical operations that covered the long interval from the colonial period to the end of the 20th century.

    Le commerce et ses représentations. L’activité marchande dans les arts et l’architecture aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles

    Trade and its representations. commercial activity in art and architecture during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries

    During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the many transformations and significant expansion of commercial activities led to the diversification of consumption and the expansion of commercial areas. These phenomena reflected improvements in transport conditions, better organisation of trade networks and the resources of capitalism. The images and literature related to the world of commerce diversified and transformed society’s perception of this practice and its players (pedlars, itinerant merchants, manufacturers, wholesalers, entrepreneurs, etc.). How do the representations of these places of professional sociability reflect these societal changes?

    “Teaching the Manner of Performing all Steps…” The Technical Dance Treatises (1700-1750)

    International conference Celebrating the 300th anniversary of the publication of “Le Maître à danser” by Pierre Rameau (1725)

    The year 2025 will mark the 300th anniversary of the publication of a major work for the understanding of the dance of the 18th century: The Dancing-Master which Teaches the Manner of Performing all the Different Steps in Dancing in All Regularity of the Art and How to Move the Arms with Each Step by Pierre Rameau (1674-1748). On the anniversary of this publication, we wish to review the history and the content of the Maître à danser, but also the circumstances of its creation, situating it more generally in the history of treatises on dance technique during the first half of the 18th century. The conference will also cover practices of which the treatise merely bears traces of, which have only been revealed in recent research. The objective of this colloquium will thus be twofold: To gain a fuller picture of the role of this work in the 18th century and its effects on current practices in the reconstruction of Early Dance.

    Counter-Hegemonic Discourses in the Indian Ocean and in Africa: Thinking and Writing a Shared World?

    One of the major questions brought up by this conference is to understand how these discourses – which pursue the emancipation and decolonization of both the Indianoceanic and African thought and a re-evaluation of the notion of creolization, whether explicitly mentioned or underlying – can help to shape new “relationalities”. Could they establish new fields of force between the islands of the Indian Ocean and the African continent? This conference invites interdisciplinary perspectives to examine how these various forms of discourse attempt to deconstruct dominant ideologies, and social-cultural structures and norms. Do these discursive constructions and strategies reflect a desire to bring the islands of the Indian Ocean closer to Africa, and to seek a reappraisal of their shared history?

    Language : New Productions and New Perspectivess from Antiquity to the Present Day

    The conference will take place from October 22 to 24, 2025, at Université Jean Monnet, in Saint-Étienne. The junior laboratory GRAPHÉ (Research Group on Philological and Human Action through an Epistemological Prism) was founded at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne in 2024. It aims at conducting an incipient, interdisciplinary study of the ways in which languages influence and are influenced by human actions. After an initial symposium in October 2024 dedicated to the interpenetration of language and politics, we now wish to organize a conference focusing on language in all its newest forms, by confronting it with the latest analytical prisms and methods of study.

    Psychoanalysis and Contemporary Fictions on the Big and Small Screens

    Revue « Transcr(é)ation » - Hiver 2026

    Transcr(é)ation is a specialty journal dedicated to intermediality and the dialogues between texts and films, without prioritizing either. This term has been borrowed from translation studies in order to shed some light on the benefits of such a dialogue between the media. We welcome any theoretical or analytical works, interviews, and thematic dossiers on the questions of intermediality, transposition between media, dialogue between and through the arts, or any other foray into related subjects. For our 7th dossier, we are calling for papers in either English or French dealing with psychoanalysis and contemporary fictions from cinema and TV series.

    The Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC) in France: milestones for a plural history

    The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers who have carried out work on the history of Institut des hautes études cinématographiques (IDHEC), using a variety of approaches, while helping to identify and stimulate new work on issues that have yet to be fully addressed. Between its creation in 1943, on the foundations of the Centre artistique et technique des jeunes du cinéma (CATJC) established in Nice in 1941, and its merger-absorption by La Fémis in 1986, the IDHEC was a central institution in cinema education in France, whose history it accompanied. Yet the school has never been the subject of a monographic publication covering its entire history.

    Intelligence artificielle et management des organisations en Afrique : enjeux, opportunités et menaces

    Ce colloque s’intéresse au phénomène de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) et ses impacts sur le management des organisations en Afrique. Si l’intelligence artificielle constitue des opportunités pour les uns, elles représentent aussi des menaces pour les autres. En Afrique, l’inquiétude générée par l’IA est liée au risque d’aggravation de la fracture numérique et des inégalités sociales entre pays riches et pays pauvres. Face aux défis, opportunités et menaces potentielles, ce colloque international se propose d’explorer les multiples dimensions de l’IA appliquées à la gestion des organisations dans le contexte africain.

Does the perception of Ukrainian music differ between Ukraine and abroad? If so, what makes this difference? Reflections will integrate various European countries such as England, Germany, the Czech Republic and France, as well as in non-European countries.

    Satie 2025. One hundred years of heritage

    Le colloque propose une réflexion sur l’héritage de Satie aux XXe et XXIe siècles, en favorisant la comparaison entre différents répertoires et expériences, dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire. Il sera également question de poser le problème en termes transdisciplinaires étant donné la propension de l’auteur à élargir les frontières sémantiques et esthétiques de la musique elle-même. Cette perspective élargie ne devra cependant pas exclure l’interrogation purement musicologique et sont attendues des contributions novatrices – surtout dans le domaine analytique – en vertu des compétences spécifiques exprimées par le partenariat avec les Conservatoires de Turin et Catane.

    Housing policies and social order in imperial and post-imperial France

    Metropolitan, colonial and overseas territories from the 1920s to the present

    The aim of this issue is to examine the relationship between public housing and the reproduction of social order in colonial and post-colonial contexts from an intersectional perspective through the lenses of class, gender, race and/or nationality. The aim is to examine spaces that are often considered separate – the colonies and the metropole – in the same analytical frame, in order to uncover circulation between the metropole and colonies, understand colonial legacies, and explore the effects of decolonization.
