De la vulnérabilité à l’adaptation : le tourisme durable comme levier de résilience territoriale

Écotourisme, géotourisme, tourisme responsable

Cet appel à communications vise à examiner l’écotourisme et le géotourisme en tant que moteurs essentiels de la résilience territoriale, entendue non seulement comme une capacité de résistance, mais comme un processus dynamique et adaptatif de transformation.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology

Field practices and epistemological issues, Palestine and Jordan

The workshop aims to combine reflections on the ongoing development of Palestinian studies with the recent revival of work on Jordan, in order to examine Jordan's role as a privileged observation point for Palestine, a question that has been relatively unexplored until now. Through three main axes — archives and primary sources preserved in Jordan that enable the study of Palestine, the cross-border circulation of people and knowledge, and intersecting cultural scenes through the notions of identity and authenticity, this workshop aims to lay the groundwork for a transnational and multidisciplinary reflection on Jordan's place in the production of knowledge on Palestine.

Reading Chaucer outside the Anglophone World: Receptions, Translations, and Traditions

In Sondry Ages and Sondry Londes

The recent Mandarin Chinese translation of The Canterbury Tales (Linking Publishing, 2025) by Dr. Francis K. H. So offers a timely opportunity to reflect on the growing presence, vitality, and diversity of Chaucerian studies outside the Anglophone world. This significant contribution not only opens new avenues for engaging with Geoffrey Chaucer’s language and narrative art, but also foregrounds the crucial role of translation, pedagogy, and local scholarly traditions in shaping how Chaucer is read, interpreted, and taught across different linguistic and cultural contexts.

Morice Awwad: Poetry, Language, and Lebanese Culture

Morice Awwad Chair invites scholars and researchers to explore the work of Morice Awwad (1934–2018), a major figure in contemporary Lebanese poetry. Awwad forged a distinctly Lebanese aesthetic by articulating cultural heritage with the challenges of modernity—marked by fragmentation, war, exile, and linguistic tension. By asserting the singularity of “Lebanese” as a language of poetic creation, he developed a mode of being and expression situated between strong local belonging and openness to the universal.

Worked shells in the ancient world

Material, use, typology, chronology and contexts

We are glad to inform you that an international e-conference on worked shells in the ancient world will take place on May 20, 2026 on Zoom.us. This forthcoming online meeting will be an archaeomalacological workshop in honour of Jean-Paul Descœudres from the Universities of Geneva and Sydney. Papers are invited to present evidence of human collection and modification of shells from all over the ancient world (especially the Mediterranean) and over a large chronological range (from Prehistory to Antiquity with a focus on the Roman world). We are interested in worked shells rather than those used as food or as environmental indicators.

Towards more professionalized esports practices?

For the first joint conference organized between Montpellier University and HSB-VNU, we decided to dig into conditions of professionalization and sustainability of esports. In particular, the objective is to gather pieces of work from several different disciplines in order to explore the interests, the limitations and tensions that are connected to the professional structuration of esports. This conference therefore aims to provide a global and critical approach by questioning both the practices of esports stakeholders and the methods mobilized by scholars.

(Cyber)bullying

Norms and resistance in Mediterranean societies and beyond

The new edition of the International Conference on (Cyber)bullying (CICY) will focus on four themes aimed at furthering the study of cyberviolence: its forms and dynamics, vulnerabilities linked to life-course trajectories, issues related to terminology and social recognition, and the evaluation of prevention mechanisms and knowledge-transmission practices. Each theme invites critical and comparative analyses of individual, collective, and institutional responses to digital violence, as well as the tools used to understand and counter it.

Arts and Crafts in the Late Ottoman Empire

Rethinking Practices and Concepts of Material Culture in Syria and Beyond (18th - early 20th c.)

The conference Arts and Crafts in the Late Ottoman Empire aims to advance art historical and interdisciplinary research on practices and concepts of material culture in Ottoman lands between the 18^th and the early 20^th centuries. While inviting contributions on all geographies of the Empire, our call for papers foregrounds late Ottoman Syria as a case through which to expand the analytical and historical horizons of Islamic art and architecture studies and to contribute to broader debates in Ottoman and Arab historiographies of modernity. We encourage authors to consider the analytical frameworks—temporalities, epistemes, and materialities—that underpin the conference’s critical inquiry into the entangled modernities of Ottoman arts and crafts.

Heritage sensitive conservation policies

Sacred Forests and Spiritual Landscapes in the Indo-Burma Biodiversity Hotspot and Southeast Asia’s Terrestrial Ecoregions

The symposium offers a space to discuss a state-of-the-art overview of heritage-sensitive policies related to sacred forests and spiritual landscapes, with a focus on forest conservation practices based on Indigenous ecological ways of knowing and relating to forests. The seminar will explore the concept of indigeneity as a decolonial relational approach to forest dwellers that overcomes the rigid, top-down definition of who are Indigenous People and Local Communities (IPLCs). The seminar highlights recent advancements in interdisciplinary research, decolonial methodologies, political ecology analysis and ethical approaches to the conservation of sacred natural sites and spiritual landscapes.

A Generation On New Theories, Methodologies, Spatial Inquiries, and Research Directions with SWANA Youth

While considering the ongoing changes in the SWANA region, the conference has the ambition to lay the foundation for new research projects on youths that explore how the challenges and intersections within existing approaches can contribute to advancing research. We are looking to bring together researchers to consider the legacy of earlier youth mobilizations on today’s youth, whilst discussing new and emerging research which enables theoretical, methodological, and spatial ways of understanding the lived experiences and futures of young people in the region. We will examine the extent to which this category can be mobilized as an analytical tool in its own right, and we question its conceptual relevance, as well as its limits and its potential blind spots.

Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Crisis

CONGIST’26

In the context of social sciences, crisis is broadly defined as a period of severe disruption or instability that challenges established structures, norms, or systems within societies. Crises can manifest in various forms—economic collapses, political upheavals, environmental disasters, technological shifts, wars, pandemics, climate or cultural conflicts. Historically, crises have always triggered societal change, which necessitate adaptation, reorganization, and innovation within communities. Throughout history, the impact of crises has been profound, shaping the trajectories of societies by prompting adaptation and transformation. Societies that fail to address crises effectively often face decline, while those that develop robust strategies can recover and evolve. Understanding crises within an interdisciplinary framework helps to reveal patterns, inform policies, and foster resilience in the face of contemporary and future challenges.

Bone objects during the Roman and Early Byzantine periods

Colloquia Anatolica et Aegaea, congressus internationales Smyrnenses XV

Ancient bone objects have been found in relatively large quantities in the entire Mediterranean, from Spain to Syria and Egypt to France, where they were manufactured between the Neolithic and Medieval periods. The art of carving animal bones involves especially antler and horn. However, the spectrum of the worked bone objects recovered from Anatolia, rest of the eastern Mediterranean, Near East, the Black Sea area and Balkans is very varied, and reflects different characteristics of Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine daily life. In these areas they were also utilised as grave goods secondarily. They were exported or imported over the entire ancient Graeco-Roman and Early Byzantine worlds. In this conference papers dealing with ancient artefacts or objects manufactured by bone, antler, ivory, animal teeth, mother of pearl and cockleshell are included. Focus will be on bone objects between the first century B.C. and the sixth century A.D.
