Call for papers - Africa

What future for African integration?

Since the creation in 1963 of the Organization of African Unity (forerunner of today's African Union), bilateral and multilateral intergovernmental cooperation initiatives have continued to multiply across the African continent, to the point where there are now over a hundred initiatives and institutions covering a wide range of fields: political, economic, commercial, customs, educational, cultural. This call for papers invites professors, doctors, PhD students and researchers in various fields (law, political science, international relations, international law, economics, international trade, etc.) to propose book chapters that can take stock of the situation, shed light on the challenges facing African integration, and reflect on the future prospects of such an integration dynamic.

Mémoires, formes et lieux : vers des modèles intelligents entre dataïsme et plasticisme

Le colloque international Mémoires, formes et lieux : vers des modèles intelligents entre dataïsme et plasticisme explore l’impact de l’intelligence artificielle sur la perception des formes et des lieux, redéfinissant ainsi la cartographie cognitive et notre compréhension de l’environnement. Les travaux mettent en lumière l’évolution du rapport entre les technologies et notre interaction avec les lieux et les formes, suscitant des questionnements sur notre perception et notre interaction avec le monde. La mémoire, remodelée par le dataïsme, influence notre compréhension actuelle du monde.

Power and Empowerment in Ecological Perspective

Annual conference of the Association française d’études américaines (AFEA)

Our workshop will explore how the tension between power and empowerment can be applied to the field of environmental studies, conceived here in the broadest sense, from environmental history to anthropology, political science and sociology. For instance, how do questions of emancipation and social or political transformation apply to ecological activism, the energy transition and the various struggles for environmental justice?

Digitization in Education: Risks, Values and Opportunities

The digitization of education is at a turning point, raising complex issues. Among the major concerns are the social and human risks associated with the growing use of artificial intelligence (AI) and other technologies in decision-making and education. Educators need to consider the integration of these tools into their practices: how can they enrich teaching, what are the implications for assessment, and what is the role of the teacher in this context? The 14^th edition of the Ticemed3 international colloquium invites researchers in information and communication sciences and in education and training to engage in a dialogue with their peers in computer science, from a North-South perspective. The aim of Ticemed will be to examine the risks and opportunities associated with the increasing digitization of educational practices, from a technological, ethical and/or cultural angle.

When the Night Comes

Opportunities, limits and interpretation of the night from the Antiquity to the contemporary age

Everything about darkness differs according to a wide range of factors including historical age, society, gender, social class, occupations. In this sense, we mean everything that fills the night with life, from the economic, political, social, cultural and religious activities of human beings to the behavior of animals, anything that stimulates the senses, from shadows, street lighting, stars, nocturnal plant and animal life to human bodies shrouded in darkness. In short, everything that humans experience during the night, from everyday life to the parallel world of dreams or the unwelcome visitation of ghosts to pirate attacks. The purpose of the Student Conference is to analyze the night from a broad historical perspective, starting from the state of the art on the subject and arriving at new declinations of the night and its importance for human activities in the past.

Transmodernity in Caribbean Literature and Arts

“Archipélies” n° 18

This issue of Archipélies takes a cross-disciplinary look at Caribbean identity and its new forms of expression. The impact of philosopher Edouard Glissant's theories has given unprecedented visibility to the Caribbean as a “New World Region” whose mixed-race and digenetic populations are constructing an unprecedented phenomenology of Relation. According to Fernando Ortiz, the various manifestations of the process of cultural interweaving that is taking place within the territories of the Caribbean presuppose a “transculturation”, that is to say, a “trans-” formation of the subject as part of the transcultural dialogue between the Same and the Other. This phenomenon, inherent in the Pan-American space, had already been highlighted by the Brazilian anthropophagic modernist movement led by Oswald de Andrade.

Rap, R&B, Afro-Caribbean Music and Race In France and the Mediterranean

Les festivals musicaux comme les victoires de la musique ou le festival de San Remo (Giuliani et.al, 2016) ont révélé un certain inconfort des institutions culturelles face à une diversité qui demande de repenser l’identité nationale. Pourtant, nombre de musicien·nes racisé·es, ancré·es dans le rap, le R&B, et les musiques afro-caribéennes arrivent en tête des ventes en France et dans le pourtour méditerranéen. Aya Nakamura est l’artiste francophone la plus streamée dans le monde depuis plusieurs années ; Soolking qui mêle rap, R&B et raï compte 7,5 millions d’auditeurs et auditrices mensuelles sur Spotify (Taillandier 2020). Il apparaît donc indispensable de se pencher sur le rapport de ces styles musicaux aux sociétés contemporaines du pourtour méditerranéen et particulièrement à leur rapport à la construction sociale de la « race ».

Waste management and health safety in Cameroon

In their quest to improve lifestyles, contemporary societies find themselves faced with a whole range of waste, the quantity of which has increased considerably. It includes objects that are not biodegradable on a human scale, as well as compounds that are likely to damage certain natural resources (water, soil and atmosphere). The effects of today’s chemical waste on human health and the environment can be chemical, bacteriological or parasitic. People can feel the effects in different ways, for example in the short term, pollution can be detected by the human senses (olfactory or visual nuisance) and in the longer term, there can be health risks for people and the environment. This situation calls for reflection on public policies for urban waste management and their effects/impacts on people’s health, in line with the SND30 guidelines. The aim of this study day is to analyse the issues involved in appropriate waste management with a view to proposing solutions to public authorities for better management of urban waste, with a view to preventing harm to public health.

Le chef d’œuvre dans l’art de bâtir du Moyen Âge à l’époque contemporaine

In the scope of the journal Ædificare, a call for abstracts is launched on the question of the “masterpiece in the art of building from the Middle Ages to the Comtemporary era”. The discussion will begin from theoretical and practical, multidisciplinary, national and international perspectives. All interested parties are invited to submit proposals to the committee, in particular, but not exclusively, along the following two lines. First, the ritual demonstration of competence, which will help analyze the available sources - old or new - on this procedure : duration, nature of the subject, material realization, conservation. It would be interesting to examine the basis for such a practice in Latin countries, and its absence in Anglo-Saxon countries. Then, the technical feat will be understood as a challenge, while examining the plurality of masterpiece practices and their meanings : challenges launched between communities or to oneself, technical feats, their visual or written representations, their effects on spectators or the public (procession, world’s fairs, etc.).

Sore losers in democracy: denial of defeat and post-electoral crises

“Nomopolis” journal

Trump’s reluctance to concede defeat in the 2020 US presidential election, his supporters’ assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021, as well as the attack of former president Bolsonaro’s supporters on the federal government buildings in January 2023, all raise questions about the rejection of alternation, the political and legal contestation of electoral results and the different types of crises that may ensue. Through the notion of “sore loser”, this second issue of Nomopolis aims to examine the modalities and stakes of these sequences in which candidates, parties or voters break with the normal and peaceful functioning of liberal democracy.

From limits to margins. Periphery(s) in stories and imaginarie Latin American contemporaries

« Amerika », numéro 28

This number attempts to define what the margins and peripheries are today in the imaginaries, stories, human sciences and cultural fields of the Americas. If the twentieth century saw, in most countries of Latin America, as it was about defining a cultural norm (which or not took over from the colonial period, whether or not integrating elements of pre-Hispanic history), also appeared increasingly affirmed countercultures and peripheral cultures. With digitalization, which occurred at the beginning of our century, a strong acceleration of the movement was noted. It is then worth asking what a peripheral/marginal culture may be, as well as looking for a way to define it. Another primary issue is knowing how (and by whom) these currents can be represented. In a somewhat binary conception of social, geographic and creative space, one would obviously have to oppose the notions of normativity and centrality to the margins.

Digital democracy: promises and illusions

Internet neutrality, access to information, democracy formats

A stable and peaceful society is based on a solid and strong democracy. The democratic model is the future of any society that respects human rights.New information and communication technologies and the still poorly regulated advances in Artificial Intelligence have impacted not only all human activity, but have also contributed to reshaping the relationship with politics, citizen participation, political communication and politics, national and international. The purpose of this international conference is to question the phenomenon of electronic democracy not only from an instrumental point of view (e-voting tool), but to question the conditions of possibility and possible limits.

Les noms propres : intraduits ou intraduisibles ?

Troisième rencontre des jeunes chercheurs sur les intraduisibles de l’Antiquité

La présente journée d’étude vise à questionner l’intraductibilité des noms propres de la Méditerranée ancienne. Il sera question notamment d’évaluer les apports de l’anthropologie et de l’histoire dans l’analyse de la dynamique entre nom propre et idionyme(s) : d’un côté, le nom propre, conçu comme une entité abstraite, recouvre plusieurs catégories, telles que : l’anthroponyme, le théonyme, l’ethnonyme, le toponyme, l’ergonyme, etc. ; de l’autre côté, l’idionyme correspond au nom propre tel qu’il est porté par un individu, une divinité, un lieu, etc., ancré dans son contexte historique, régional, social, culturel et familial. Au-delà de l’interprétation et de la compréhension linguistiques des noms, il est nécessaire d’étudier le contexte d’appartenance de chaque idionyme. C’est sur ce point que la démarche anthropologique trouve toute sa pertinence.

Sacred texts/Profane images

Dynamics of transmission of religious knowledge: in dialogue with Congolese popular painting

L’art plastique populaire congolaise représente un intéressant point d’observation des processus sociaux et culturels pour une étude des interrelations entre le texte sacré, l’évangelisation et l’iconographie. C'est ce sujet que le colloque veut approcher par une perspective interdisciplinaire et comparative, en élargissant le regard à d'autres domaines historico-culturels, coloniaux et autres, et à la dynamique plus générale d’échange entre la culture savante et la culture populaire. En ce sens le colloque se veut l’occasion d’étudier des problèmes clés, en identifiant en deux sessions respectives deux domaines thématiques et de dialogue méthodologique et historiographique : images et transmission du sacré ; savoirs-pouvoirs-représentations.
