The new lives of Greek divinities in Western Europe: Textual and visual figurations from the 14th to the 16th century

In his famous work, La survivance des dieux antiques, published in 1939, Jean Seznec demonstrated that knowledge of the Greek gods did not disappear during the Middle Ages, and thus challenged the opposition often drawn between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: “Pagan antiquity, far from being ‘reborn’ in 15th-century Italy, survived in medieval culture and art; the gods themselves were not resurrected, for they had never disappeared from the memory and imagination of men. Based on case studies on one or more divinities, the workshops will be devoted to analyses of the multiplicity of representations, interpretations, and uses of these ancient divinities over the three centuries under consideration, by combining permanence and renewal, repetition and variation, continuity and innovation.

Arts and crafts & Design : Dialogues and Prospects

Art and crafts in discussion with design provide food for thought on the challenges facing these sectors today. Design can be a lever for thinking about the adaptation of arts and crafts in a changing ecosystem. It is then confronted with the problems faced by the crafts in terms of sustainability, durability, digitalisation and education, among others.This conference “Dialogues & Prospects, arts and crafts & design” aims to examine these two disciplines on the principle of convergence around the notion of creation, and based on the principle of cross-fertilisation of unique methods and our own thinking tools.

Writing history in the Maghreb (7th-20th centuries)

Authors, texts, manuscripts

Studies in Arab historiography generally focus on the Middle-East marginalizing the North African contribution, with the exception of Ibn Khaldūn. The aim is therefore to highlight the Maghreb intellectual production in offering researchers the opportunity to showcase authors and works of all kinds to renew the history of the Maghreb. The vast chronological framework aims to bring together medievalists, modernists and contemporaneists, all too often separated: while focusing on the intense medieval production, the symposium will be an opportunity to emphasize the continuities of these genres for the modern period and the colonial period, sources which are either understudied or only through French-language sources.

Expressing extreme violence: Translations, Verbalisations and Figures of Silence

The aim of this conference is to shed new light on the study of extreme violence in the 20th century, particularly from a gender perspective, and to discuss our conceptual tools collectively. The conference will study testimonies of extreme violence (colonial violence, gender-based violence, disappearances, torture, mass deaths and genocide) from a multidisciplinary and multilingual perspective. The aim is to examine the conditions which allow words to emerge as well as their corollary, a framework for listening, so that they become audible in a given period and social sphere. The paradox of experiences that are both intimate and collective, unspeakable and yet spoken, taboo and widely documented, is at the core of such reflections.

Bringing suffering into the narrative(s)

Since the “narrative turn” of the 1980s and the “affective turn” of the 1990s, contemporary human and social sciences, as well as writing practices, have given increasing prominence to individual narratives seen as enriching viewpoints to better understand human experience and social reality. The “subject”, long viewed with suspicion in a positivist conception of knowledge, is taking center stage in a context of weakening “metanarratives” and growing social struggles – for civil rights, for the self-determination of peoples, etc. (Grard 2017). These changes also emerge in the healthcare field : this slogan of the Disability rights movement, “Nothing about us without us”, reflects a yearning to place the subject at the heart of the discourse. This new issue of the Revue des sciences sociales will explore how human and social sciences contribute to the production and analysis of individual narratives that shed new light on experiences of illness and suffering.

Wheat, vines, and olive trees: transformations in the practice and representations of a Mediterranean triad

Journal “Mutations en Méditerranée” (MeM) issue 2 - 2024

Imagine Herodotus travelling around the Mediterranean today, more than 2400 years after his voyages. Would he be surprised to see citrus fruits dotting the horizon? Would he be astonished to be served tomatoes? In 1940, Lucien Febvre retraced the evolution of Mediterranean agriculture from this multi-secular perspective. At the time, he may have been dreaming of an ancient Medi- terranean world made up of nothing but wheat, vines and olive trees, even though it was already a hub of global agricultural trade. The Mediterranean has witnessed the evolution of this agricultural and alimentary triad and how it is depicted, alongside the transformation of related practices. The dialectical relationship between the practices and depictions of this triad changed as a result of the climatic, demographic, political and technical upheavals that have marked and continue to trans- form this area. Wheat, vines and olive trees are thus seen as the first step in the study of transfor- mations of social practices and representations in the Mediterranean, at different spatial and tem- poral scales of analysis.

Artificial Intelligence and Language and Culture Teaching and Learning

The democratization of ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (from now on AI) software that generates images (Stable Diffusion, Imagen, MidJourney and Dall-E 2), videos (Renderforest, Lumen5 and Moovly), music (MusicLM, Moises) and translations (DeepL) raises questions, in the field of language and culture pedagogy, about teaching and learning practices that have already been transformed by digital technology (design of language teaching material, automation of assessments, digital literacies, etc.). Specific tools for teaching practices and resources are also designed based on AI (Magicschool.ai). This call for papers aims to question such uses both for teaching and learning language, and for pedagogical design and training in the field of language pedagogy.

Research libraries in Rome (1860-1930): the origins of an exceptional documentary collection

Comment se sont constituées les collections documentaires exceptionnelles à l’étranger ? Quelle place cette histoire reflète-t-elle de la recherche en histoire, art et histoire de l’art dans l’histoire intellectuelle et culturelle de chacun des pays représentés, entre 1860 et 1930 ? Cette journée d’étude permet de poser le contexte des bibliothèques de recherche installées sur un territoire étranger et de s’intéresser en particulier aux premières décennies de leur fonctionnement, dans un arc chronologique assez large, des années 1830 aux lendemains de la Première Guerre mondiale.

Theater Practices for Foreign Language Learning in higher education

Feedback and Theoretical Perspectives, between Body and Text

This One-Day Conference will bring together feedback from projects and presentations of research about the use of theatrical practices in the teaching and learning of a foreign language (in particular English EFL, French and Spanish) in higher and university education. The focus will be on the link with the bodily dimensions of expression in a foreign language, and on the choice of texts and verbal materials.

The globalized routes of second-hand artefacts. Qualification, valorization, circulation and regulation

"Géocarrefour" Journal

Cet appel vise à prolonger les observations de Mathieu Quet à partir de l’étude des circulations des objets de seconde main à des échelles internationales et transnationales, qui soulèvent plusieurs enjeux. Ces objets connaissent, acquièrent ou perdent différents statuts (importation légale, contrebande, contrefaçon), formes (déchets, marchandises…) et valeurs tout le long de leur parcours, et des routes empruntés. Les circulations sont la condition même d’une requalification et valorisation de l’objet, qui ne passe pas seulement d’un marché à un autre mais aussi d’un système normatif et d’évaluation à un autre.

Conference, symposium - Information

Culture in a digital context

Questioning practices, categories and methods

The digital transformation has allowed for works to be digitized and shared on the website of cultural institutions (museums, theaters, libraries, etc.). It has also increased the range of online offerings, which grew exponentially during the recent health crisis. Therefore, is it accurate to call both those who frequent cultural institutions in person and those who consult their offerings online as “audiences”? Attempts to define cultural contents that are marked by hybridization processes and the blurring of levels of legitimacy makes it difficult to identify what is a cultural practice, an informational practice, entertainment or a form of sociability, and thus further complicates this issue. How can we define what constitutes a digital cultural practice?

Labour inspection and worker vulnerability

Congress 2024 of the Swiss Sociological Association

The globalisation and digitalisation of the economy have accelerated automation, the fragmentation of corporations and the development of new organisational forms. These trends have made employment more precarious. Demographic evolutions, technological change and environmental degradation have also created new risks for workers. Against this backdrop of growing vulnerability, regulatory institutions such as labour inspection have an important role to play in ensuring compliance with health, safety, pay and employment standards. This workshop aims to understand how these issues are articulated in different national contexts.

Drinking, power and illegalisms

Alcohol(ism) in controversy

From the nineteenth century onwards, the various medical specialities took an interest in the problem ofalcohol(ism), allying themselves with or confronting other authorities, primarily the law and justice system. However, the wide range of realities that the discourse of authority has since tended to cover remains largelyunexplored. The aim of this conference is to examine the ways in which the various medical specialities,particularly psychiatry and alienism, play a part in the differential management of illegalisms related toalcohol consumption.

Les mazarinades et l’international

Les 6 000 libelles parus sous la Fronde ont fait l’objet au cours de ces dernières années de nouvelles approches qui démontrent que les mazarinades dépassent de loin le cadre des affrontements politiques des années 1648-1653 en France ; elles nous conduisent aussi vers d’autres espaces historiques ou politiques, mobilisent des types de discours, des modes langagiers, des genres littéraires, des formes poétiques ou théâtrales, des topiques culturelles contemporaines, dans un processus à double sens. Après Paris (Nouvelles approches, 2015), Tokyo (Exploration, 2016) et Rouen (Territoires, 2022), le prochain colloque sur les mazarinades se penchera sur la question de « l’international » dans ce vaste corpus. Le projet de ce colloque se veut pluridisciplinaire afin de croiser les approches (historiques, littéraires, linguistiques, politiques, juridiques, sociologiques...) et international.

War Losses and Naval Warfare (18th to 21st century)

Anticipating Naval Losses: Innovations & Prospects

« Si tu veux faire la guerre sur mer, prépare-toi aux pertes au combat », serait-on tenté d’écrire. Le temps nécessaire à la construction d’une unité comme celui requis pour former l’équipage chargé de l’armer implique d’anticiper la question des pertes sur mer. Quelles sont les ressources humaines, matérielles, intellectuelles et culturelles de l’anticipation ? Quels sont les acteurs chargés d’anticiper ces pertes et quelle est leur expérience des pertes vécues et/ou représentées ? Quelles sont les données utilisées pour anticiper les pertes ? Comment le « retex » (retour d’expérience) est-il pris en compte dans l’anticipation du combat et des pertes ? La question de l’anticipation implique également de réfléchir aux structures mobilisées pour recueillir le renseignement, échanger avec ses alliés et espionner ses adversaires de manière à comprendre la circulation des informations.
