The Changing Concept of Border in Humanities

Between Fixity and Flux

This conference aims to examine not only the representations of borders but also the acts of their transgression, erasure, or redrawing. The goal is to explore how these borders are inscribed in the body of works, narratives, and languages, and how they shape their reception, transmission, and interpretation.

Temporary Migration (20th –21st Centuries): Spaces, Regulation, and Imaginaries

Recent migration research has recently adopted intersectional approaches by disputing age categories, Gender, and class, which have long been pivotal to the study of migrant populations. Despite being the focus of sustained scholarly inquiry, these domains continue to exhibit notable limitations particularly in areas where migrants navigate conditions of “illegality” and where state authorities frequently respond with various forms of repression, including violence, detention, stop-and-search practices, and police surveillance. This symposium will thus serve as a platform for scholars and practitioners to exchange methodological insights into short-range mobility and to explore innovative approaches to researching migration contexts. Furthermore, it will provide a critical space to examine how funding agencies shape, influence, and/or potentially limit migration research agendas.

Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology

Translational Epistemologies and Open Science

Towards Equitable and Sustainable Ecosystems of Knowledge Production and Dissemination

Translation has emerged in recent decades as a keyword in disciplines such as cultural history, anthropology and science and technology studies (STS). Moreover, since around the turn of this century it has become an institutionalized concept in medicine – as evident in the increasing ubiquity of knowledge translation and translational research activities that attempt to put research-based knowledge into practice (Ødemark and Engebretsen 2018).This event will provide a forum for engaging with epistemologies and scholarly initiatives that seek to open up spaces for equitable and ethically responsible reflection on translation within various ecosystems of knowledge and society at large.

L’optimisme au temps des désastres

Littérature, arts, multimédia

Cette journée d’étude se veut une réflexion sur les possibilités que l’optimisme pourrait offrir à l’être humain qui exprime dans toutes les nuances ses états de fragilité, d’impuissance face aux aléas de la vie, de doute, de pessimisme, ou encore de « dégoût de soi-même » (Flaubert, L’Éducation sentimentale, t. 2, 1869, p. 18). Il s’agit donc d’une approche pluridisciplinaire visant à mettre l’accent sur les jeux et les enjeux de tous ces duels existentiels qui ont marqué l’histoire de l’humanité et la manière dont elle a évoluée.

Transition énergétique  : enjeux de gouvernance et nouvelles formes de vulnérabilité

Cet appel à communications interroge les dynamiques contemporaines de la transition énergétique, désormais centrale dans les politiques publiques et les discours scientifiques. Pensée comme une réponse à la dépendance aux énergies fossiles et au dérèglement climatique, elle repose sur le développement des énergies renouvelables, l’efficacité énergétique et une gouvernance locale renforcée. Toutefois, cette transition soulève de nombreuses tensions liées à la diversité des trajectoires nationales, aux choix technologiques, et à la légitimité des projets. Ce numéro spécial souhaite explorer les formes d’intermédiation énergétique, les modèles organisationnels, les expérimentations territoriales (agrivoltaïsme, biogaz, communautés énergétiques) et les controverses qu’elles suscitent : conflits d’usages, acceptabilité sociale, artificialisation des sols, inégalités d’accès ou actions en justice. L’accent est mis sur les conditions de réussite ou d’échec de ces initiatives à travers une pluralité d’échelles et d’acteurs.

Feeding urban territories in North Africa

Crossed perspectives from Algeria and Egypt

This collective volume explores urban food supply systems in North Africa, with a particular focus on Algeria and Egypt, where rapid processes of metropolization and megalopolization intensify pressures on food resources. Through a territorially grounded approach, the book aims to examine the challenges of food security in cities facing urban sprawl, loss of agricultural land, rising food demand, and increasing dependence on imports. The objective is to provide a cross-cutting analysis of territorial dynamics, supply chains, urban–rural reconfigurations, and the limitations of public policies in addressing urban food systems. Contributions are expected to adopt empirical, comparative, or modelling approaches, addressing themes such as urban planning, multi-level governance, food justice, short supply chains, and the regulation of informal economies, all within a broader perspective of strengthening the resilience of urban food systems.

Contested Geographies of Mountain Futures in the Socio and Eco-climate crisis

This call for papers invites contributions exploring, from a critical geography and political ecology perspective, the socio-environmental futures of mountain regions in the context of the eco-climatic crisis. It focuses on how power relations, conflicts, discourses, and imaginaries shape policies and visions of “mountain futures”. The aim is to analyze the tensions between dominant and alternative approaches, questioning dynamics of governance, socio-environmental justice, and the social production of nature. Submissions should offer theoretical and/or empirical reflections on post-crisis scenarios, paying particular attention to subaltern actors, alternative visions, and forms of contestation across diverse mountain contexts.

Guiding Landscapes

Organized by the French Federation of Landscape Architects (FFP, Fédération Française du Paysage), the 61st World Congress of the International Federation of Landscape Architecture (IFLA) will take place in Nantes, France, from September 10-12, 2025, under the theme "Guiding Landscapes". Landscape architects play a key role in adapting cities to climate change at a variety of scales. Planning, conceiving, and managing new resilient urban districts, reorganizing the public realm by reopening soils, increasing rainwater infiltration, and developing urban biodiversity to cool cities are all essential challenges.

Sport, Politics, and Society

According to some specialists, sport is a universal phenomenon which, in various forms, has always existed. For others, the existence of sport in Antiquity cannot be envisaged because, at that time, it was a cultural practice with a strong religious dimension. Whatever these debates, sport can be defined as an activity practiced alone or in a group, an activity requiring physical qualities, strength, skill, reflexes, endurance, and moral qualities. Practitioners observe rules specific to each sport, exercise for their own pleasure, their health or compete in competitions. This activity is partially institutionalized: many sportsmen and women join specialized clubs, affiliated to federations that define regulations and organize official competitions, Olympic Games, world, national and regional championships, tournaments, grand prix, land or sea races, etc.

How do former industrial towns and border towns welcome refugees?

In this call for papers, we would like to focus specifically on the particular case of cities that have historically developed through multiple waves of migration. We are thinking not only of the former working-class towns in north-eastern Paris, but also of border towns that have found themselves on the front line of migration reception during previous flare-ups of conflict in neighbouring countries.
