Desktop Films: Forms, Uses, Circulations

This conference stems from an interest in an emerging form of filmmaking, the desktop film or screen film, arising from the convergence of two related phenomena: the exponential acceleration in the circulation of moving images enabled by digitization and the development of Web 2.0, and the evolutions in audiovisual and media creation that incorporate digital aesthetics and practices into their modes of operation. Positioning ourselves within the field of post-media studies initiated by Lev Manovich in 2001, and more specifically within what is now referred to as the field of “post-cinema”, this conference seeks to foster a resolutely interdisciplinary reflection (Art Studies, Film and Audiovisual Studies, Information and Communication Sciences, Cognitive Sciences, Anthropology, Narratology, etc.) structured around the following axes: semiotic and multimodal approaches; narrative and discursive approaches; actors and Networks; archaeology of the Desktop Film.

Temporalities of the Far Right

Turning-Points and Perceptions of the Past in Germany, France and Western Europe since 1945

The conference aims to examine the far right’s relationship with time from a Franco-German and European perspective. It is divided into two parts: the first explores possible periodizations for this political movement after 1945, and the second examines its ideological and discursive relationship with time.

Beauvoir Webinar Series

The Beauvoir Webinar Series were originally conceived by their first coordinators (Gina and Marine) as an open space for expression accessible to all, while also serving as a site of resistance to the multiple hegemonic dynamics that permeate the academic sphere and, more broadly, the social field.

Research on the Displacement of French Document Collections in Europe (1930–1950)

In June 2027, La Contemporaine will host an international symposium dedicated to the study of the displacement of documentary collections across Europe, including France, between the 1930s and 1950s. At the crossroads of historical studies, book history and provenance research, this event aims to document and analyse the trajectories of these documentary collections, whether or not they were subject to spoliation. An overview of similar research in other countries and of the challenges posed by the documentary processing of collections will complete this analysis.

Phraseological Universals in Natural Languages

Revue « Neophilologica », n° 38

The study of linguistic universals, closely tied to linguistic typology, seeks to identify features shared across natural languages despite their diversity. These universals — traditionally classified as phono-logical, grammatical, semantic, and symbolic — aim to formalize the invariants of human language, often in connection with cognition and perception. While linguistic typol-ogy focuses on differences between languages, the study of universals defines their con-straints, delineating the boundaries of possible variation.

Contextual Physics of Ambiances

International Journal of Sensory Environment, Architecture and Urban Space

Architectural ambiances encompass a complex interplay of sensory, emotional and cultural perceptions that shape how a space is experienced. Regarding their physical dimensions, ambiances include elements such as light, sound, textures, temperature and odours, which are shaped through social and spatial configurations to create a unique experience. The physical metrology of ambiance phenomena, relying on precise measurement tools and protocols, allows for an analysis of the objectifiable dimensions of sensory phenomena.

Thinking from the Dual – Ontology, Theology and the Humanities through the Lens of the “Muthannā”

This international conference explores the philosophical and theological implications of the Arabic grammatical dual (al-muthannā). Situated between the paradigms of unity and multiplicity that have long structured philosophical thought, the dual offers a distinctive relational structure in which two terms are held together without fusion or hierarchy. Taking this linguistic form as a conceptual starting point, the conference investigates the possibility of thinking relation itself as originary. Particular attention will be given to the concept of ʿahd (covenant, pact, commitment) as a relational event in Islamic theology and beyond. Bringing together philosophers, theologians, and scholars from the humanities and social sciences, the conference seeks to open a field of inquiry devoted to the ontological, theological, and anthropological significance of the dual in contemporary thought.

La fabrique de l’histoire dans les arts à Venise : récits, propagande et contre-récits

XXIXe séminaire d’histoire de l’art vénitien

Qui écrit, dans les arts, l’histoire, selon quelles sélections et omissions, pour qui et à quelle fin ? Comment la production artistique dans l’espace public a-t-elle célébré les grands hommes et les femmes illustres, les génies artistiques, ou bien parfois effacé volontairement les mémoires ? Comment enfin s’élaborent dans les arts les contre-récits à Venise ?

Anarchy and polyarchy: the legacy of two classical Greek concepts at the crossroads between politics and religion (3rd century BC–5th century AD)

This conference aims to study the history and evolution of two classical Greek concepts, anarchy and polyarchy, whose legacy, considered from the 3rd century BC to the 5th century AD, unfolds at the crossroads between politics and religion. It will explore the transmission of the classical Greek, and particularly Platonic, condemnation of anarchy and polyarchy, and its connection with the apologia for monarchy in political and philosophical thought during the Hellenistic and Roman periods and in Judeo-Christian thought.

“In medias res”. Intermediaries of Domination (Northern France, the British Isles, 9th–13th centuries)

Following a first conference held at Cerisy in 2024 on social domination in Normandy (11th–15th centuries), this new conference aims to analyse how human intermediaries contribute to maintaining various forms of domination – whether seigniorial, princely, ecclesiastical, or urban. Situated between dependence and delegated authority, they play a central role in the concrete exercise of power, but also in the production and legitimation of social order. Through their actions and behaviours, these intermediaries shape or impose this state of affairs and help populations to agree to this domination.

Cooperation: geopolitical scope and legal framework

The European University of Valencia is organising its 5th Global Congress on International Relations and International Law on 10 and 11 June 2026. In a world characterised by growing interdependence, cooperation between states and other international actors has become an indispensable element in addressing global challenges such as climate change, pandemics, international security, education and the protection of human rights. International law has evolved to incorporate this principle as the structuring axis of multiple legal regimes and institutional mechanisms.
