    Migration to and through Nord Africa

    L’objet de ce colloque international est de brosser un tableau qui se veut un rétrospectif général des sciences sociales et humaines, restituant et situant la question migratoire maghrébine et nord-africaine dans son contexte général en rapport avec la dimension européenne qui reste incontournable. Il est important d’actualiser les données concernant notre sujet en fonction des mutations géopolitiques récentes dans le monde contemporain et notamment dans la région maghrébine, pour pouvoir proposer des recommandations, des préconisations, et des pistes de réflexions cohérentes, pouvant faciliter les prises de décisions en termes de politiques publiques.

    Edges of the sacred. Materializing thresholds, from Antiquity to the end of the Middle Ages

    Revue « Frontière·s »

    Art historians and archaeologists working on sacred monuments are not only interested in the architectural forms and techniques and the painted and/or sculpted decoration: they also try to reconstruct the ceremonies and circulations that took place around and inside the buildings they study. A sacred space is defined by a material or symbolic boundary that separates the building and its surroundings from profane space. This area, which belongs to the divinity, is bounded by a set of rules and customs that govern ritual practice, which is itself closely linked to space: gestures, sacrifices, prayers and paths take place in specific locations, the identification and function of which are often specified by architecture and decoration.

    The Media of Art/The Arts of Media

    XII. International Congress of the German Society of Aesthetics

    So-called “media art” has been around not only since technical media began to intervene in the art world; there has never been media-free art. There is no art that does not express itself in certain media, be it image, sound, light, space or language. There is no art that does not rely on marble and chisel, colour and canvas, pen and paper, sound waves and screen, bits and bytes. Neither media nor materials are ever external to a work of art; rather, aesthetic meaning only arises through the respective medial-material configuration and would be invalid without it. The XII. Congress of the German Society for Aesthetics will focus on the question of the media of the arts.

    Médiamerica 2024-25

    Communication, Information, Politics and Culture in the U.S.

    Médiamerica is a seminar on American news media organized by researchers working in France. Its aim is to cultivate research on the links between communication, politics, culture, and the processes by which information is produced, circulated, and given form, focusing on the North American context. Médiamerica brings together researchers with varied backgrounds to explore these issues from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The seminar offers a space for scholarly reflection and debate, to consider emergent phenomena in news and communication, as well as the ways in which the academic community on both sides of the Atlantic conceptualize such phenomena. This initiative seeks to build bridges between anglophone studies and communication studies, encouraging dialogue between different methodological approaches and benefiting from an intercultural perspective.

    Must one imagine Sisyphus happy?

    On the occasion of the multimedia exhibition «Must one imagine Sisyphus happy?», a symposium, also titled «Must one imagine Sisyphus happy?», aims to explore the discourses and postures that emerge from literary texts over the centuries (16th-21st centuries) concerning the ethics of work.  From Robinson Crusoe to Annie Ernaux, we wish to engage, through a series of case studies, with the inner lives of the characters represented over the centuries. We will also question the perspectives and postures of the narrators, as well as those of the authors (who sometimes, especially before the 20th century, represent labour without having experienced it firsthand). In short, we wish to delve into the ambivalence of literary texts.

    Revisiting French-Language Literature

    Ce sixième numéro de la Revue Langues, Littératures et Arts, que nous coordonnons, a pour ambition d’explorer ensemble la richesse et la diversité de la littérature d'expression française. En revisitant à la fois les œuvres classiques et contemporaines, nous souhaitons réévaluer les dynamiques culturelles, sociales et esthétiques qui façonnent cette littérature, tout en mettant en lumière les contributions d'auteurs issus de divers horizons géographiques. Nous espérons que les contributions aborderont une variété de thèmes, tels que l'identité culturelle, l'engagement féministe, la postcolonialité, et les innovations littéraires dans le contexte des évolutions mondiales.

    Insects, “bichos” and other “bugs” in the literature of the Americas (19th to 21st centuries)

    “Amerika” n°29

    This call aims to bring together works that question the representation of insects and other “bichos” in literature aimed primarily at young people, in the Americas. Scrutinized especially through the prism of European culture, the insect appears small, repugnant, sometimes useful (the bee), sometimes an example of tenacity and courage (the ant). What about its place in the American space? Do indigenous cultures deploy discourses and images referring to a unique relationship to the world of “bugs”, different from or linked to those of European cultures? How does the study of “bugs” allow us to deepen our knowledge of the relationship with nature in the Americas and to identify avenues for educational action based on works published for young people?

    Risk taking - challenges

    Revue « Études en didactique des langues » (Edl)

    Depuis une trentaine d’années, la notion de prise de risque apparaît de plus en plus fréquemment dans le domaine de la didactique des langues. Mais est-elle appropriée quand on parle d’enseignement/apprentissage des langues ? La prise de risque peut être source d’un mal-être ou d’une anxiété. Pour les apprenant·e·s, passer de l’usage de sa langue natale à la tentative de s’exprimer dans une langue que l’on ne maîtrise pas peut représenter une véritable épreuve. L’enseignant·e également prend un risque en acceptant de ne pas « maîtriser » une situation, voire de perdre le contrôle de sa classe.

    Violence and Conflict in Ortega y Gasset’s works

    The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence (PJCV) welcomes submissions that relate the work of Ortega y Gasset to conflict and violence. Ortega’s philosophical writings are the product of Ortega plus his circumstances, and Ortega’s circumstances were indelibly marked by conflict and violence. Produced during a period of unprecedented political and social upheaval in Spain and globally, Ortega’s philosophy promoted an agonistic and Protean view of human character and social relations. As a future-facing, change-seeking, conservative progressive, Ortega’s thought remains a paradox and his work demands reconsideration and re-evaluation by every subsequent generation.

    Hermeneutical Rationality and the Future of the Humanities

    The set of challenges facing the Humanities today is an opportunity to rethink their future. This conference puts forward a twofold objective. On the one hand, it intends to explore the extent to which the hermeneutical paradigm of the Humanities (Schleiermacher, Dilthey, Gadamer, Ricœur, Taylor), which emphasizes the interpretive core of these disciplines and their contribution to human moral development can still provide meaningful answers to these challenges. On the other hand, it aims to intervene, in a reflective and critical manner, in the debates on the value, need and possible shape of the Humanities in the future.

    Possibilities of the Contemporary Landscape

    Contemporary representations of landscapes are evolving considering the new climatic, political, and technological challenges. The advent of the Anthropocene has led to a reevaluation of the relationship between humans and nature and, consequently, the mode of landscape representation, not only as a motif, but also as a form and construction. Additionally, the fragmentation of memories, the growth of new technologies, and the constant flux of images disrupt the way contemporary artists represent life. This workshop will compare different techniques and construction systems to think about the landscape as a motif, subject, and theoretical concept facing today's challenges.

    Herrmann/Horner: two Hollywood giants in the service of the emotional?

    This international symposium pays tribute to two Hollywood giants, Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975), who died on December 24, 1975 during post-production of Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver, and James Horner (1953-2015), who was accidentally killed on June 22, 2015 while piloting one of his jets. This singular way of arousing visceral emotion or probing affects offers a possible convergence between these two Hollywood giants. Following the example of the emotional register, we could examine the various aspects of Bernard Herrmann's work that have received little attention, or focus in depth on the constituent elements of James Horner's style. These are just a few of the avenues open to us, but as this is first and foremost a tribute, the paths to be taken are multiple, depending on what the participants wish to highlight.
