  Migration in Belgium: Epistemological issues, History, Public action and Mobilisations

  This study day aims to bring together researchers from different social science disciplines (anthropology, law, economics, geography, history, philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, etc.) working on migration issues in Belgium. In a context where migration phenomena are regularly at the forefront of political and media news (“reception crisis”, border management and control, citizen mobilisations, etc.), the aim of this study day is, on the one hand, to review the progress of research in the various social science disciplines in this field, and, on the other hand, to refine academic analyses through a multidisciplinary dialogue. This meeting thus intends to contribute to a better understanding of the migration phenomenon in Belgium.

  A Study Day Around Illustrated Print Culture

  This study day aims to gather researchers around the subject of the printed image since the 1880s.

  Le retour des choses : objets, archives et création en temps de restitution

  This workshops in Cameroon propose to approach restitution through the prism of returns, i.e. to decentralize: from the countries where the objects were held to the countries and communities of origin; from Western viewpoints to African opinions; from the “works” exhibited in European museums to the resocialization of the returned “things”, recharged with multiple meanings; from the materiality of the objects to archival images and to contemporary creations. How is the possible return of objects perceived? What imaginations and expectations does it awaken? What would be the values of the returned things?

  Artificial intelligence and transformations of work

  Through this conference, we aim to provide a social philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and work, grounded in an ethical framework. Focusing on three axes of research, we’ll consider the history of the technological replacement debate, the conditions of work with AI, and the transformations of fairness and justice to highlight AI’s specificities. We aim to address developing questions within an emerging literature on AI’s impact on work.

  Chinese public space, a shared space?

  Espaces et Sociétés’ perspective on the Chinese city and urbanization, through a notion that is both distinctive and paradoxical in China: public space. The title of this call for papers, “Chinese public space, a shared space?” questions on the one hand the specific definition of Chinese public space, which is undergoing very rapid changes, and on the other hand its ability to be “shared” locally and internationally.

  The Invention of Traditions in the United Kingdom and the British Empire, 1840-1940

  The year 2023 will mark the fortieth anniversary of the publication of The Invention of Tradition, a collective work edited by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger. Since this publication, the invention of tradition has become a key concept in cultural studies. While the book edited by Hobsbawm and Ranger brings together contributions on the invention of the Scottish kilt tradition, Welsh national culture, scouting, and British monarchical ceremonies, which cover the period from 1840 to 1914, this conference invites us to explore other invented traditions over a longer period, from the 1840s to the 1940s. It will also analyze the reactivation of certain traditions at key moments in history.

  The American Developmental State : The Origins of American Capitalism in Comparative Perspective

  How can we best account for the historical trajectory of American capitalism over the “long” nineteenth century ? With this conference we aim to deploy the idea of an “American developmental state” as a lens for investigating the formative years of US capitalism. Now is an opportune moment to reconsider the role of government in US economic history.

  Thresholds and crossing points

  For Fantasy fiction characters, crossing worlds is rather common, especially in Low Fantasy. Many works in this genre also have the heroes travel from one space to another through doors, tunnels, windows, portals or specific means of transport. This new issue of Fantasy Art and Studies aims to question the thresholds and places of passage in Fantasy fiction, from the most common to the most singular, and possibly to identify a typology.

  Ethics of Information and Knowledge Organization

  Cette conférence souhaite mettre l’accent sur les caractéristiques et les approches théoriques qui peuvent construire un modèle méthodologique et efficace pour examiner l’éthique et mettre en évidence les différentes questions récurrentes liées aux dimensions éthiques du traitement et de l’organisation de l’information. La conférence abordera également les questions éthiques des décisions biaisées produites par l’apprentissage automatique à partir de big data. Deux domaines principaux ont été identifiés : la transparence des algorithmes pour les rendre explicables et la gestion de la qualité des données pour nettoyer les données afin d’améliorer le résultat des opérations de traitement.

  Sport in the Americas

  “The body of an athlete and the soul of a sage - these are what we require to be happy”, wrote Voltaire to Helvetius. At RITA, although we don’t claim to have athletic bodies, we humbly hope that our journal does lead to the path of wisdom. As Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024, we thought it relevant to invite researchers to show wisdom and gain some critical distance to question the role and function of sports in the Americas, from North to South.

  Degrowth as a way of thinking about the future of tourism?

  Development models based on the idea of growth have reached their limits from an environmental, social and human perspective. Moreover, the ideology according to which economic growth and technical progress are the only remedy for the various socio-ecological crises ignores the fact that six of the nine planetary limits (Rockstrom et al., 2009) are now outdated. The Summer School firstly plans to reflect on the concept of degrowth, within its critical and analytical scope. Then we will question the variations and challenges that come with it in the context of tourism areas. Finally, (alternative) local tourism development projects will be discussed from a degrowth perspective during field visits.

  On Asceticism: Crossing Traditions, New Perspectives

  L’idée du colloque est de réunir des spécialistes issus de divers horizons disciplinaires, culturels et de genres, pour discuter de l’ascétisme. Au lieu de se concentrer sur l’évolution linéaire de certaines traditions ascétiques dans la philosophie occidentale, l’objectif est de souligner la multiplicité et la mutabilité de l’ascétisme au sein et au-delà des traditions occidentales. Outre les débats philosophiques et religieux de longue date sur l’ascétisme, nous accueillerons également des articles qui traitent de l’ascétisme dans un contexte contemporain, tel que la création et la critique artistiques, la santé et le bien-être, ou l’engagement dans les problèmes urgents de l’environnement.
