François Daulte Grant

Annèe universitaire 2024 -2025

Le musée Fabre de Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole est un des lieux patrimoniaux emblématiques de la région et compte parmi les plus belles collections publiques françaises. Il conserve depuis 2017 un fonds « François Daulte » constitué du fonds d’archive de l’historien d’art, ainsi qu’un ensemble remarquable de lettres autographes de Frédéric Bazille et de son entourage. Afin de valoriser ce fonds, et plus largement les recherches de François Daulte, il a été décidé l’instauration d’une bourse annuelle d’un montant de 10 000 euros, qui soutiendra des recherches en histoire et en histoire de l’art dans la lignée des champs d’étude de François Daulte.

Discoveries and Dialogues: Online Exchanges in Foreign Language Learning

The objective of this study day is to bring together experts in language teaching and learning to analyze the role of online interactions and exchanges in language learning. Foreign language learning has long been thought to be unique in the field of education, because of its inherently social nature ; indeed, mastering a language requires using it for communication.

Detours through the works of Jane Austen

This comparative literature conference devoted to Jane Austen will be an opportunity to undertake further excursions into the work of the famous novelist. Papers may draw parallels between Austen's novels and those of other authors from the long nineteenth century, take an interest in characters left out of the story, propose counterpoints for reading and analysis or even venture into the counter-fields of the work, in an attempt to understand what continues to fuel Austenmania today.

Revue « Terrain » n° 84

This special issue of Terrain focuses on the acoustic, phonic and embodied qualities of the voice, as well as on its pragmatic effects across a range of situations and cultural contexts. To this end, we use the term “vocality” to capture the material and agentive aspects of vocal sounds, their complex entanglements with speech, and the concrete interactions within which they take shape. We propose to explore how various dimensions in the production of spoken and sung sounds (prosody, rhythm, timbre, breath, voicing, cries, etc.) and modes of listening are socially and culturally arranged, so as to build relationships, frames and imaginaries, which in turn enable specific forms of action and communication.

Gender/s and Sexuality/ies in the History of Western Philosophy

From a historical standpoint, one would like to question various philosophical discourses about gender and sexuality, in order to analyze and enlighten their specific conceptuality. We encourage contributions of specialists in Ancient, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy, questioning the way in which the concepts of sex or gender fit or resist to the larger doctrine in which they appear. From a critical standpoint, one would like to question the ideological power of these discourses: the way in which they do not only relay historical prejudices, but contribute to form and justify common beliefs about gender which still inform our actual ways of thinking about it. In this sense, we encourage contributions that intend to start from the critical tradition (social or poststructuralist, feminist or ecofeminist), in order to reconsider particular philosophical works, from the most famous ones to the less known texts in the history of western philosophy.

Discourses, Realities and Representations of Defiance

Literatures, Cultures and Civilisations of the Anglo-Saxon World, Commonwealth and BRICS countries

The conference theme, understanding defiance in the Anglo-Saxon world, Commonwealth, and BRICS countries, is of significant importance in the field of humanities and social sciences. We aim to identify, at various points in their histories, how defiance is constructed and understood in the sense of 'challenge' that the French word défiance shares with the English noun defiance - which appeared in the early 14th century under the influence of the French word desfiance. Your research and insights will contribute to our collective understanding of this crucial aspect. This conference is part of the debate opened up by Nancy Nyquist Potter (2016) in her introduction to her eulogy of defiance.

Disunions. Church-initiated separation of couples in the Catholic world (12th c. - 21st c.)

"What God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mk 10:2-16). In certain circumstances, the Catholic Church may however exercise this right, usually at the request of one of the spouses, but sometimes on its own initiative. Although canon law does not recognize divorce, since the Middle Ages representatives of the Church have endeavored to bring about the separation of certain couples. All these unions have been considered by the Church to be in contradiction to canon law, ecclesiastical discipline, the definition of Christian marriage or Christian morality. Recent scholarship has enabled us to gain a better understanding of matrimonial separations initiated by the spouses in the Middle Ages and the Modern period. The objective of this workshop is to tackle a rarer case, one that has scarcely been addressed by historians to date: that of separations initiated by the Church.

Food and Health

Revue « Soin, sens et santé. An International Journal of the Health Humanities »

This issue is devoted to the relationship between food and care from the perspective of the humanities, social sciences (history, anthropology, sociology, political science), art, and literature. The notion of care is to be considered here in its broadest sense, ranging from "paying attention" to a strictly sanitary perspective, from the physiological to the social and political.

Perception and practice of health among the Akan people

This transdisciplinary conference aims to analyse traditional and modern health perceptions, practices and knowledge among the Akan. Each contribution, whether the fruit of in-depth analysis, personal experience of health, or an academic perspective, will contribute to the 'glocalization' of understanding of the health system and practices in the Akan world.

Creativity and Teaching in the Age of Chatbots

Il est indéniable que les nouvelles technologies ont apporté des changements profonds dans tous les domaines de la société, y compris l’enseignement. Les nouvelles approches pédagogiques, telles que l’apprentissage personnalisé et adaptatif, l’utilisation de la réalité virtuelle et augmentée, ou encore l’intégration des chatbots et des assistants intelligents, offrent de nouvelles possibilités pour rendre l’enseignement plus attractif et efficace. Cependant, il est important de s’interroger sur la manière dont ces nouvelles technologies peuvent être intégrées de manière pertinente dans les méthodologies de recherche académiques. Comment garantir la validité et la fiabilité des données collectées grâce à ces outils ? Comment mesurer l’impact réel de ces nouvelles approches sur l’apprentissage des étudiants ? Que doit-on changer du côté de l’enseignant et du côté des régimes d’études ?

Architectural photography

Séminaire Japarchi

La « photographie d’architecture (kenchiku shashin 建築写真) » est un sujet vaste et protéiforme, puisque cette notion sera envisagée différemment par les architectes, les urbanistes, les décorateurs d’intérieur, les promoteurs, les éditeurs, les photographes amateurs, les photographes professionnels commissionnés, ou encore les artistes photographes, pour ne citer que quelques profils. C’est justement cette confrontation des acceptions et des utilisations qui nous intéresse. En effet, alors que la photographie d’architecture fait preuve d’une monstration large et régulière depuis le XIX^e siècle, par le biais d’albums, de magazines dédiés, de publications en série, d’ouvrages ponctuels, et d’expositions, il n’existe aujourd’hui aucune étude approfondie qui en permette une compréhension globale. Nous souhaitons donc poursuivre sur ce projet de recherche qui vise à définir cette notion en déployant toute sa complexité.

Dealing with the Aftermath of Violence: Institutions and Players in the 20th and 21st centuries

Héros, martyrs, anciens combattants, bourreaux, criminels, victimes, blessés, mutilés, disparus, morts, endeuillés - femmes, hommes et enfants. Telles sont les figures qui naissent ou peuvent naître de l’« expérience paroxystique de violence » (C. Ingrao, Le soleil noir du paroxysme…). Loin de former des catégories pré-établies, ces attributions se trouvent au contraire sans cesse redéfinies par les individus qui s’en revendiquent – ou pas – comme par les institutions qui les décernent – ou non. Comment ces dernières prennent-elles alors en charge ces acteurs sociaux singuliers dans le temps plus ou moins long des « sorties de guerre » (B. Cabanes, G. Piketty, Retour à l’intime…), ou plus largement des « sortie[s] de la violence » (M. Wieviorka, « Sortir de la violence ») ?

Migrations and Security

In the past few decades, migration control has become a common political answer for many States. This topical collection aims at refining how social sciences analyse the migration/security nexus and what challenges researchers face studying this topic. Bringing together contributions from various fields and disciplines, this publication highlights two issues: the institutionalization of migration control, and the researcher’s epistemological vigilance with regard to the notion of security in the practices he or she is studying. The topical collection offers an avenue for assessing the extension of security rationale to migration issues, while questioning the use of concepts from security studies at the expense or complementary to other concepts and perspectives.

International Conference on Constructed Languages (2024)

The International Conference on Constructed Languages (I-CONLANG II, 2024) offers a forum dedicated to multidisciplinary research on constructed languages. The study of constructed languages is the site of a proliferation of ideas and innovations in the linguistic field, which challenge the human ability to provide new forms of linguistic expression, for wide-ranging purposes. This phenomenon is not only relevant in linguistics, but in many other disciplines in the human sciences, as well as in the arts and letters, and this extends far beyond academic circles. The creation of a constructed language may have various purposes, but their study reveals a common set of questions, which the Conference intends to address.

The Sound of Amateur Cinema

Ce colloque porte sur les pratiques sonores liées au cinéma amateur. Celui-ci est généralement considéré comme muet jusqu'à l’apparition de caméras sonores accessibles aux amateurs. Pourtant, de nombreuses sources attestent, dès les années 1930, d’une pratique de l’enregistrement sonore à des fins de sonorisation, et des enregistrements existent. L’arrivée du magnétophone à bande a contribué à diffuser plus largement l’usage du son enregistré dans le cinéma amateur. Le son associé au cinéma amateur reste toutefois très peu étudié, autant à l’université que dans les cinémathèques et centres d'archives. Ce colloque fait le point sur le sujet, en conciliant les approches techniques, culturelles et archivistiques, afin de faire se rencontrer universitaires, archivistes, techniciens, et cinéastes amateurs.

Crafting Fashion and Dress in the « Longue Durée »

Si la mode, comme phénomène, est intrinsèquement liée au temps, au changement et à la notion d’éphémère, la temporalité des savoir-faire sur lesquels elle repose est bien moins fréquemment analysée. Comment peut-on ainsi considérer les liens entre le temps et le faire ? Les savoir-faire, les gestes et les savoir-incarnés dont dépend le renouvellement des formes ne s’inscrivent-ils pas dans une temporalité spécifique, un temps long du faire qu’il convient de questionner ? Qu’apporte à notre compréhension de la mode et du vêtement cette vision dans le temps des savoir-faire sur lesquels ils reposent ? Le colloque invite des contributions d’archéologues, d’historiens, d’historiens de l’art, d’anthropologues ou de spécialistes de la conservation-préventive, ou d’archivistes.

Religious Conversions. Believing and Doing on the Move in the Mediterranean Area

This issue looks at religion in terms of its ability to mobilise institutions, groups and individuals around plural dynamics that contribute to the redefinition of the religious field itself. It looks at religious conversion through the prism of multidirectional and communicating trajectories, ’bifurcations’ in which movements of diversions, decentering and return to the self come together. Religious conversion is understood here beyond the dualistic categorisation of rupture and continuity. This leads us to think of it not simply as an opaque process of religious disaffiliation and affiliation, but as a movement from self to self, involving a constant tension of negotiation between reconfiguration of the ways in which people believe and do religion, and the significance of the identities and sensibilities of individuals in a given social environment.
