Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality
A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History
PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

This conference seeks to reflect on the relationship existing between private gun ownership and the processes of imposition (or re-imposition) of State legitimacy in peacetime as much as during or in the aftermath of armed conflicts. It intends to do so specifically by addressing how the process of modernization and its ensuing tendency to codification and the world wars and their long shadows have had an impact on three aspects of these processes: institutional regulations on civilian possession of firearms from above; juridical debate on limits and rights of State control; practices and culture of gun ownership on the ground.

Crisis and infrastructures: responses to change between materiality and immateriality
A dialogue between Anthropology, Geography and History
The purpose of the conference is to explore the interactions between crised and infrastructures starting from a pivotal question: is it possibile to consider transitional processes as moments of "a transformazion that includes some essential elements of the previous phase?" (Pombeni 2013: 12) Or are they to be intended just as a dramatic interruptions and breaks? PhD Students, Post-Docs and Research Fellows of historical, geographical and anthropological training are invited to partecipate in the construction of a moment of dialogue and excange. The aim is to stimulate an interdisciplinary discussion that will encompass all historiographical epochs, from antiquity to the present day, and question not only the role of infrastructure in the resolution of crises, but also the various implications of critical moments and of their conception.

Conference, symposium - Representation
Le colloque Proust et les écrans souhaite interroger l’image d’un Proust de plus en plus « mondialisé », « numérisé » et hyper-contemporain que renvoient tous les écrans connectés de notre époque, autant de projections et de diffractions dont l’inventaire n’a pas encore été entrepris par la critique proustienne.

En effet, le concept et le terme de médiation apparaissent dans diverses sciences humaines et sociales (ex. droit, philosophie, psychologie, sciences du langage, sciences de l’information et de la communication, sciences de l’éducation…). Au vu de plusieurs conceptualisations dans ces disciplines, il devient urgent de discerner l’essentiel de la médiation et d’en mettre en lumière les traits conceptuels les plus significatifs au sein de chaque discipline ainsi que de façon transversale à ces dernières. Faisant suite au colloque international « L’essentiel de la médiation. Vers un consensus sur le concept dans les sciences humaines et sociales » (Padoue, 1-2 mars 2018), un appel à publication pour ouvrage est lancé et ouvert à tous les auteurs qui souhaitent participer à un ouvrage pluridisciplinaire et interdisciplinaire de référence sur « l’essentiel de la médiation ».

European Space Agency's Space History Conference
There is more to space than rocket science. Historians, diplomats, economists, law students, political scientists and sociologists have all contributed to our understanding of the space age and its impact on our societies over the past decades. Sixty years on from the placing of the first human-made object in orbit around Earth, space is now an integral part of our daily lives. Space science and technology are projects for the whole of humankind, reaching not only outside Earth’s atmosphere, but also beyond our Solar System. While the technological and scientific challenges of working, living and travelling in space motivate students to pursue such studies, the impact of space activities on our lives on Earth, on relations between nations and organisations, and our collective recent history, provides fertile ground for students and scholars in the humanities to take up space-related subjects.

Towards a consensus of the concept in the humanities and social sciences
Le concept et le terme de « médiation » apparaissent dans diverses sciences humaines et sociales, notamment en droit, en philosophie, en psychologie, en sciences du langage, en sciences de la communication et en sciences de l’éducation. La pluralité des conceptualisations et la polysémie du terme que l’on repère souvent dans les discours spécialisés sont susceptibles d’entraver l’intercompréhension. Dans un tel scénario, il devient urgent de discerner l’essentiel de la médiation et d’en mettre en lumière les traits conceptuels et linguistiques significatifs, identifiés par des experts. Le colloque vise à vérifier la possibilité de partager une même unité conceptuelle et terminologique à travers le dialogue scientifique interdisciplinaire. Il veut également contribuer à renforcer la médiation en tant que domaine autonome du savoir, disposant d’une ontologie et d’une terminologie de référence.

Children on the move from the 20th to the 21st century
A biopolitics perspective
Migrant children are often at the crossroads of conflicting priorities related to local and global issues (conflict, displacement, poverty, (under)development). Throughout history, states, organisations, institutions, and communities have tried to manage and control migrants and migratory processes. While the latter topic has been the subject of extensive research, the study of child migration lags behind. This workshop aims to address this gap by adopting Foucault’s theoretical framework of biopolitics – a control apparatus exerted over a population – to the case of children.

Tragedia greca, questioni contemporanee: letture etico-politiche
L’intento di questa giornata di studi è promuovere un’interrogazione del nostro tempo a partire dalla rilettura della tragedia greca. La convinzione che motiva questa proposta è che la tragedia antica rappresenti una drammaturgia di condotte, dilemmi morali, problemi politici che segnano l’esistenza individuale e la convivenza sociale. Il combinarsi di una messa in atto di storie, che investono la parola e i corpi dei personaggi, con la riflessione sulla vita umana – non di rado col contributo decisivo del coro – offrono concetti, suscitano emozioni, indicano piste di pensiero dalla valenza etico-politica. Tale convinzione è suffragata dai numerosi riferimenti ai tragici greci presenti nel pensiero contemporaneo.

Overlapping perspectives on the history of “ancient forests”
In ecological, economic and social terms, “ancient forests” play numerous roles. Their definition varies not only from country to country but also according to disciplinary fields. Studying “ancient forests” can involve separating “old-growth forests” from “ancient woodland”, forests that have disappeared and, in the case of “current forests”, those that are not actually very old at all! This conference aims to exchange views and ideas on “ancient forests” including both retrospective and prospective issues. Better understanding their past highlights the key issues of their status, protection and promotion in our current societies and opens up new perspectives about the future of « ancient forests ». Foresters, planners, developers, ecologists, biologists, agriculturalists, geographers, historians, philosophers, ethnologists, cartographers, archaeologists, archaeobotanists, sociologists etc., from all backgrounds, are invited to join this debate about our various and varying concepts of “ancient forests”.

Contemporary art as mediation of ecological crisis
6th STS (Science and Technology Studies) Italia Conference
In this session of the 6th STS Italia Conference on Sociotechnical Environments, we will consider how contemporary art addresses new questions to environmental issues; how it questions our relation with nature and technique; and how artistic creation may indicate new kinds of answers to contemporary ecological issues. This call is open to various disciplinary fields: contribution proposals could aim to describe kinds of knowledge that contemporary art contribute to produce in the field of ecology, as to trace a history of the dialogue between environmental issues and artistic creations, and, more generally, on case studies questioning the notions of art, technique and environmental issues.

Actors and forms of mediation for intercultural dialogue
GLAT 2016 (Groupe de linguistique appliquée des télécommunications)
Le GLAT 2016 nait de la volonté de faciliter le développement de réflexions et de recherches linguistiques sur les rapports qui lient la médiation et le dialogue interculturel. Le colloque s’inscrivant dans un cadre interdisciplinaire et pluridisciplinaire, les organisateurs souhaitent accueillir des propositions d’études sur les diverses situations et pratiques de médiation - « concept fédérateur, susceptible de regrouper les pratiques professionnelles et pédagogiques des différents métiers de la communication », pour reprendre les propos de John Humbley, et aussi comme un concept représentant un « processus de communication éthique », au sens de Michèle Guillaume-Hofnung - où les enjeux linguistiques (et en même temps culturels, interculturels et sociaux) demeurent au centre de la réflexion.
