Natural history museums and contemporary issues: what discourses on collections?
In France, museology as an academic field is torn between multiple disciplines (history of art, information and communication sciences, history of science, anthropology, etc.). However, until now there have been very few spaces dedicated to the specific problems arisen by naturalist collections, from a museological point of view. In its first year, the seminar "Museums and contemporary issues: what discourse on natural history collections?" is looking at the issues raised by the specificities of natural history collections and the museums that keep and curate them.Every month, it brings together researchers and curators around a general question: how do the exchanges between museums and the actors of civil society transform the discourse associated with collections?

Au Moyen Âge : lire la ville en sa région
Luxembourg
Si la représentation de l’espace semble dominée par l’orientation vers des pôles ou des lieux de pouvoir jusqu’au XIe siècle, cela n’a pas empêché la genèse de comtés, pagi, diocèses et autres circonscriptions. Aussi ce séminaire franco‐allemand aura‐t‐il pour principal objet l’inscription spatiale des institutions et des pouvoirs durant l’époque médiévale, au sens le plus large du terme. Nos interrogations porteront sur les phénomènes qui créent une ville à partir d’une agglomération ou d’un simple sanctuaire, ceux qui transforment une cité en diocèse étendu dans l’espace, ou encore ceux qui font d’un espace donné une région, une circonscription ou un territoire. Conjointement le séminaire souhaite proposer un cadre permettant de se familiariser avec les recherches franco‐allemandes les plus récentes ou de présenter un travail en cours (Thèse, articles, Master).

African Sovereignty, Contentious Foreign Policy and 'Unidplomatic' practices
Panel of the European Conference on African Studies (ECAS) 2025
In recent years, accredited representatives and international organisations officials found themselves in the middle of intense diplomatic clashes in African contexts. The recent shift in geopolitical alliances in the Sahel area, for instance, has displayed dramatic cases, with top diplomats (foreign ambassadors, UN heads of mission, and even African Union top leaders) being denied visits, or declared persona non grata, or even expelled, sometimes manu militari. Similar cases occurred in 2021 in the midst of the war in Tigray, Ethiopia. In other instances, national authorities erect administrative impediments aimed at hindering foreign diplomats’ day-to-day activity. These few examples of diplomatic clashes were politically justified by competent authorities in the name of sovereignty in contexts of rapidly changing international partnerships. The purpose of our panel is to identify and examine the diplomatic practices by which official representatives of African states contest the international order and seek to enact sovereignty towards their external environment.

The CIDEHUS (Interdisciplinary Center for History, Cultures, and Societies) is a non-profit research unit in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences. Its core discipline is History, and its scientific program focuses on studying the impact of diversity and changes in the South over the long term. The "South" it engages with is multifaceted: not only the South of Portugal but also this political formation in the context of Southern Europe and the geographies of the southern hemisphere with which it has had historical ties in the past. It publishes two collections of academic books, both of which undergo scientific peer review by international committees, using the "double-blind peer review" system. These collections are titled: "Biblioteca - Estudos & Colóquios" and "Fontes & Inventários." As the name suggests, the latter is dedicated to disseminating research tools and sources that aid researchers in their work.

The Challenge of Inclusivity and Democratic Government in Social Contract Theory
Social contract approaches seek to explain the origins of political obligations but are also recognized as tools of social change. In the face of classic social contract philosophers, who maintained that normative legitimacy may be grounded in hypothetical agreement, recent accusations of exclusivity and anthropocentrism have challenged contract theories’ relevance. And yet, in spite of these challenges, contract theories have experienced a resurgence. This conference seeks to engage with this second wave of theories and reflect on the challenges of inclusivity and democratic government within contract theory from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Call for papers - Early modern
Knowledge, Symbolics and Uses of a Versatile Material in Europe (1450-1550)
This call for papers targets a wide range of disciplinary fields (e.g. history, art history, heritage science, literature, philosophy). This peer-reviewed edited volume aims to understand the uses and meanings of Gold as it pervades all areas of European societies, on a methodologically restricted time-frame (1450-1550). It intends to move beyond traditional research, so as to map out the social and cultural dynamics of this precious and versatile material in Renaissance Europe.

« Équité, Diversité, Inclusion, Accessibilité » (EDIA) dans un monde du travail en mutation
Revue « Diversité urbaine » n°22
La gestion de l’Équité, la Diversité, l’Inclusion et l’Accessibilité (EDIA) en milieu de travail n’est pas, au Canada, une question nouvelle : la Loi fédérale sur l’équité en matière d’emploi date maintenant de plus d’une trentaine d’années ! Cette question semble toutefois avoir connu, au cours des dernières années, dans le sillage de la mise en place du programme de réconciliation avec les peuples autochtones ainsi que des mouvements #MeToo et Black Lives Matters, un engouement croissant. Cet engouement s’inscrit dans un monde de travail en constante mutation : mutations dues, entre autres, à l’irruption des technologies de l’information et de la communication dans les relations de travail, au vieillissement de la population canadienne ainsi qu’à la pénurie de la main-d’œuvre. Il convient, dès lors, de s’interroger sur la place de l’EDIA au regard de ces constants changements que vivent les milieux de travail.

Stories and Storytelling: a World of Stories
"Higher Institute of Human Sciences of Jendouba" Conference
Roland Barthes asserts that stories are universal and can be told in all media. From the earliest oral traditions to today's multimedia extravaganzas, the importance of storytelling remains paramount. As storytelling creatures, humans are shaped through their stories as “man is in his actions and practice, as well as in his fictions, essentially a story-telling animal” (MacIntyre). Storytelling is the art of conveying ideas, experiences and emotions through narratives. Through its evolution from an oral form to written, visual, and digital forms, storytelling has always been a fundamental method of communication for humans. Storytelling represents a nexus between culture studies, literature, and linguistics, as not only does it reflect cultural identities and values but also makes use of linguistic structures and literary techniques to convey complex narratives that shape our understanding of the world.

Lexis, framing, timings, 19th‒21st century in the Middle East
Is preaching consubstantial with crisis? Did the different religious traditions present in the Middle East come to grip with the notion of crisis during the contemporary period? This workshop examines the similarities and divergences between preaching endeavours by the different religious traditions and the transformations in religious discourse in the Middle East from the end of the 19th century onwards. Through a comparative and diachronic analysis, it aims to identify what "constitutes a crisis" for particular religious actors at a given moment in the contemporary history of the Middle East (e.g. military defeat, feelings of inferiority vis-à-vis Europe, demographic decline of a given religious group, secularisation of institutions, rise of atheism, etc.)

Télévision(s) du savoir et de la connaissance
Expériences françaises de la Cinquième à France 5, expériences francophones
Télé\Visées, le réseau francophone et pluridisciplinaire des chercheur·es sur la télévision organise un colloque à l’occasion des trente ans de la naissance de La Cinquième, devenue entre-temps l’actuelle France 5, la chaîne du savoir et de la connaissance. Les communications permettront de retracer la genèse et les enjeux de cette chaîne peu connue, ainsi que les conditions de sa création et de son évolution, en prenant en considération son originalité : celle d’une chaîne nationale publique à vocation éducative. Il s’agit ici d’appréhender ses missions, ses programmes et sa réception par les publics, mais aussi ses mutations dans une approche pluridisciplinaire non exhaustive des champs historique, sociopolitique, sociologique, économique et des sciences de l’information et de la communication.
