From risk to resilience, from past to present: critical perspectives and comparative approaches
2016 Summer School of the Cluster of Excellence Territorial and Spatial Dynamics (LabEx DynamiTe)
This Summer School will give precedence to exploratory work that does not take the concept of resilience for granted but rather examines the social and historical conditions of its use by the scientific community. Thus, a constant dialogue between past and present case studies shall be offered, involving geographers, sociologists, historians and archeologists. By comparing sites distant in both time and space, common mechanisms that lead to system resilience or on the contrary to major qualitative system reorganizations can be identified.

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium
Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

Panel P097 - EASA2016 Conference (European Association of Social Anthropologists)
This panel focuses on the many biomedical reproductive practices and objects which are often approaches as the search for or deviation from a specific family model and which rather suggest the emergence of a multiplicity of practices which develop and expand within, around and beyond kinship.

Italian consular services and the long Risorgimento (late 18th-20th century)
Cette manifestation se propose de rassembler des contributions portant sur le rôle des consuls des différents États italiens pré-unitaires dans la diffusion, la réception et l’élaboration de modèles de l’appartenance collective au sein d’un monde italien qu’on considérera dans sa pleine acception, c’est-à-dire dans une péninsule italienne dont les limites sont floues, et au-delà dans tous ses prolongements diasporiques.

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.

6th Ethnography and Qualitative Research Conference
The Conference embraces and endorses a broad, ambitious view of ethnographic research. Ethnography is understood as an inquiry into the processes, implications, and meanings of social life and culture in groups, organizations, and institutions across diverse social spaces and settings. Accordingly, contributions to the conference can be based on a variety of methods, including but not limited to participant observation, in-depth interviews, focus group, auto-ethnography, visual ethnography, discourse studies, video-based research and other forms of inquiry inspired and informed by ethnographic sensibility. The Conference welcomes theoretically informed and methodologically sound proposals that contribute to the substantive knowledge of the social world.

Malebranche e i suoi contemporanei
Nell’ottobre 1715 ricorre il tricentenario della morte di una delle maggiori figure intellettuali del Seicento, Nicolas Malebranche (1638-1715). Lungi dall’essere un pensatore isolato o un mistico, Malebranche ha stabilito stretti contatti con filosofi e scienziati dell’epoca ed è stato spesso coinvolto in polemiche anche aspre per l’ardire di certe sue posizioni in campo sia filosofico sia teologico. In occasione della ricorrenza della scomparsa di Malebranche, gli organizzatori di questo convegno, per la prima volta nel contesto napoletano, si propongono di riportare l’attenzione degli studiosi sul filosofo francese, ritenendo che tale iniziativa possa aggiungere un tassello illuminante alla comprensione della circolazione delle idee, degli scambi intellettuali e della formazione dei sistemi filosofici tra la metà seconda del Seicento e la prima metà del Settecento.

Une histoire économique et sociale de la famille juive (XVe-XIXe siècle)
La storia ebraica costituisce un capitolo rilevante e particolarmente fecondo dell’attuale dibattito scientifico, sia sul versante storico-economico, che su quello antropologico, culturale e religioso. All’interno di un orizzonte di ricerca molto vasto, che identifica i Jewish studies come vero e proprio campo disciplinare, il convegno si propone di indagare, attraverso un’ottica comparativa, uno specifico argomento: le forme e le funzioni di utilizzo delle doti. L’istituzione dotale si configurava come uno degli elementi strategici nelle forme di organizzazione delle società ebraiche in Antico regime. Il suo studio ravvicinato e comparato consente, pertanto, di gettare una luce su molteplici aspetti.

History, approaches and comparative methodologies in France and Italy
Si d’une part la patrimonialisation de « biens immatériels », dans les cas musicaux, visant principalement comme processus institutionnalisé d’identification, de collecte de données et de recherche, de mise en valeur, de transmission et de revitalisation d’un certain patrimoine à sauvegarder, est sans doute aujourd’hui un des principaux terrains de réflexion et d’action des ethnomusicologues et anthropologues de la musique, de l’autre cette thématique offre la possibilité d’étendre la réflexion également aux normes statutaire de la discipline.

Dans le monde ancien, l’exigence d’accomplir des actes de purification, liés au besoin d’expier une faute ou d’accompagner un changement de statut, est perçue comme capitale dans beaucoup de circonstances. Les mots miasma et catharsis utilisés pour désigner respectivement la souillure et la purification, englobent de fait une dimension beaucoup plus articulée, qui se situe entre les sphères de compétence du pur et de l’impur. Les occasions qui prescrivaient le recours à des rites de purification étaient en rapport avec des phases liminaires de la vie, telle la naissance, la mort, mais aussi le mariage, ou encore avec les festivités religieuses. La mort était par exemple considérée l’une des principales sources de souillure. Le miasma qui l’accompagnait pouvait contaminer les dieux et les hommes, les vivants et les morts. Tous devaient alors indifféremment se soumettre aux rituels de purification. Les divinités elles-mêmes n’hésitaient pas à prendre les distances des individus contaminés, comme Artémis, lorsqu’elle abandonne son favori, Hippolyte, à son destin.

Letters, journals and memories of soldiers, women and children during the First World War
Quels sont les sentiments, les perceptions et les attitudes mentales des soldats, mais aussi des civils, des femmes, des enfants, durant la guerre ? Quelles sont leurs stratégies de résistance psychologique à cette déstabilisante expérience ? On peut tenter de répondre à ces questions en se tournant vers l'ample typologie de textes produits par les combattants et la population civile « mobilisée » : lettres, journaux et mémoires qui – encore en partie enfouis dans des tiroirs de famille ou conservés dans des archives d'écriture populaire – expriment des potentialités narratives considérables, mais revêtent aussi d'une part, un fort intérêt historiographique et linguistique. Ce colloque a pour but de se confronter aux questions méthodologiques encore ouvertes, présentant des textes particulièrement significatifs et des résultats de recherche dans ce domaine en croisant les approches scientifiques sur les écrits des soldats des divers fronts en Europe durant le conflit.

The Role of Think Tanks and Technical Experts in Foreign and Security Policy
This international conference is part of celebrations for the 50th anniversary of Rome's Istituto Affari Internazionali. Taking IAI's role as a starting point, we wish to look more carefully at the think tank model and its role. The IAI case study allows us to illustrate both the culture promoting model and the technical expertise model which plays a direct role in advising and shaping government policy. Starting from the analysis of think tanks, we can broaden our overview to include the role of experts in foreign and security policy in an attempt to pinpoint the common factors and specific characteristics connected with the role of experts.

Intermediality and transmediality in contemporary artistic practices
Dans les dernières décennies du XXe et au début du XXIe siècle, on assiste à une augmentation de la production d'œuvres dans les domaines de la littérature, des arts visuels et des nouveaux médias, où la circulation entre les pratiques joue un rôle important sinon prépondérant. Hybridation, intermédialité, transmédialité, multimédialité, intersémioticité sont les termes qui nous permettent de désigner l'entrecroisement de ces pratiques où se multiplient les emprunts entre cinéma, photographie, art numérique, art vidéo, littérature, etc., quoique la distinction conceptuelle entre chacune de ces notions ne soit encore tout à fait consolidée. Ce colloque se propose de développer une réflexion autour de l'usage de ces notions à travers un débat théorique entre diverses approches disciplinaires.

Research, Politics, Ethic and Militancy in the Human and Social Sciences
This panel seeks to provide a reflection on a multidisciplinary basis about the ethical implications on research in humanities and social science related to the objects of study. These objects potentially induce the researcher to "adopt" (even indirectly) one or more of the parts/reasons involved.

The Autocephalous Church: an ecclesiastical necessity or political result?
Exercising independence in eastern Slav churches (10th-20th centuries) - Session 1
Par définition, l’Église est « une ». Sous l’apparente simplicité de la qualification se loge une souplesse remarquable de pensées et de pratiques de l’unité, qui se sont déployées au cours de l’histoire dans diverses directions. L’autocéphalie est l’une d’elles et renvoie à l’origine, dans le cadre du christianisme oriental, aux archevêques et aux métropolites élus localement sans requérir l’intervention d’une instance supérieure.

Venetian Commodities, 13th-16th centuries
What are "Venetian" commodities? More than any other medieval or early modern city, Venice lived off of the trade of portable goods. In addition to trading foreign imports, the city also engaged in intense local production, manufacturing high quality glass, crystal, cloth, metal, enamel, leather, and ceramic objects, characterized by their exceedingly rich forms and complex production processes. Today, these objects are scattered in collections throughout the world, but little remains in Venice itself. In individual instances, it is often difficult to tell whether the objects in question were actually made in Venice or if they originated in Byzantine, Islamic, or other European contexts.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity
L’idea di impero universale e la successione degli imperi nell’antichità
Nelle letterature antiche ricorre una teoria della "successione degli imperi", concepita come tramite un processo violento di conquista, che rappresenta una chiave interpretativa della storia universale che segna anche un punto di incontro tra concezioni di popoli caratterizzati da culture diverse, che conobbe grande fortuna fino all'età bizantina. Il convegno, attraverso l’incontro fra studiosi, italiani e stranieri, specialisti di epoche e letterature diverse, mira a offrire un momento di riflessione e di discussione sulle molteplici letture e sulle variazioni ideologiche a queste sottese, in una prospettiva diacronica dall'Antichità a Bisanzio.
