In proposing an understanding of the issues involved in international environmental cooperation, we aim to diagnose the constraints and prospects for the ecological, economic and societal transition. In addition, this conference project aims to make a contribution to the discussions and actions that form part of the joint and cooperative fight against climate change, for sustainable environmental protection, over and above the specific socio-economic and cultural challenges of national and geopolitical territories.

Residue and Oblivion: Manufacturing Toxic Legacies
Cross-reflections based on the exemplary case of asbestos. 20th - 21st centuries
Several studies in environmental history and the sociology of science have already shown how, regarding asbestos as other toxic substances, the narrative of the sudden “awareness” of their harmful effects was a fiction, actually and that a number of stakeholders were well aware of asbestos pathogenic effects as early as the early 20th century. The circulation and appropriation of this knowledge did not take place in linear fashion. Now, what are the possible trajectories of a toxic substance after it has been banned? This is the question this conference aims to answer.

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?

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.

Call for papers - Representation
This symposium proposes to study how artists have not only observed animals and, in some cases, lived alongside them, but have also sometimes attributed agency to them. The idea of an active relationship between the artist and the animal raises fundamental questions about the role of animals in artistic production. The analysis of artistic practices allows for questioning the nature of the bond between humans and other animals, and examining how, in certain works, the animal can be perceived as a protagonist capable of resisting attempts at reification. Rather than being a mere reflection of power relations between humans and animals, artistic creation thus becomes a site of negotiation, even contestation, of these relationships.

Revue « Inter-Lignes »
L’aspect intime de la recherche ne semble pas avoir droit de cité à l’Université. L’espace académique ne souffre pas l’intimité du chercheur. Or, depuis au moins les travaux de Donna Haraway une pensée selon laquelle l’objectivité et la rigueur scientifique du chercheur sont insuffisantes, voire contre-productives, a été théorisée. Haraway affirme ainsi que pour échapper à l’asphyxie académique, il faut au contraire engager le « sujet-chercheur ». De là l’autothéorie, qui analyse la multiplicité des liens entre l’intime et la théorie. Nous nous proposons ici de nous focaliser sur les émotions, les sensations dans la pratique de la recherche, pour dire leur pouvoir heuristique ou au contraire mystifiant.

Working Group on ‘Risk, Health, and State Socialism: Central and Eastern Europe, 1950s-1980s’
While much of this historiography has focused on liberal democracies, less attention has been given to how concepts of risk operated in state socialist contexts. Building on recent studies in the history of medicine and health, we invite scholars to join a working group examining risk, health, and medicine under state socialism in Central and Eastern Europe. To what extent did state socialist regimes recognize certain health and medical issues as ‘governable’ through risk? What kinds of practices and ideas emerged in response? And were there differences or similarities between state socialist and liberal democratic models of risk in healthcare and medicine? Our aim is to take an exploratory approach to discuss whether, and in what contexts, the concept of risk can be applied to state socialism, and to examine the risk-related practices, ideas, and technologies observed in healthcare and medicine in state socialism.

Le terme de « crise » vient du mot grec « krisis », qui signifie « décision, jugement ». Notons que le verbe « krinein » désigne la faculté de choisir, de distinguer, de juger. Dans le domaine médical, la crise est provoquée par une rupture avec un état initial stable. Ce processus impose donc de prendre des décisions, nécessaires pour sortir de l’incertitude. L’acte de création apparaît alors comme une solution pour faire face aux bouleversements imprévisibles. La « création », du latin « creatio », désigne l’action de produire l’être, d’inventer, d’innover. Créer peut combler un manque, réinjecter de la stabilité là où la crise n’avait laissé que du désordre. Non seulement les périodes de crises peuvent contraindre les façons de créer, mais c’est aussi la création qui permet d’endiguer un phénomène de crise. C’est cette influence mutuelle, entre crise et création, que nous voulons placer au cœur de cette XIVe journée des doctorants.

Knowledge from the margins, marginal knowledge?
Sources, scope, and legitimacy of critical economic knowledge
The study of economic knowledge and its political influence has largely focused on central sites of power and on its academic production. This conference seeks to broaden that perspective by examining marginalized economic knowledge and the dynamics of its (de-)marginalization. It will specifically address the development of lay or relegated economic theories and practices, considering their logic of legitimation, the actors, spaces, and actions that generate them, and their relative autonomy. The conference will concentrate on the long twentieth century and welcomes proposals from all disciplines within the humanities and social sciences.

The Family as a Model of Social Protection and Health Care
Insights and Experiences from the Countries of the South
This inter-disciplinary congress aims to approach, analyze and discuss the major roles of the family in the production of social protection and health care in the countries of the south in light of the forms of resistance and resilience that the family institution has produced in the light of the effects of néolibéralisme, which pushes a set of values, roles and family ties towards disintegration, disappearance and redefinition. Taking into account the socio-demographic, economic, value and pathological transitions... etc. that have given rise to new family forms and structures, critical scientific thinking within the view of the social sciences becomes a fundamental epistemic requirement, especially when it emerges from the heart of the daily life of families, and questions their problems and aspirations.

Alchemy between Science and Magic
Arcana Naturae n° 7
For its seventh issue (scheduled for release in 2026), Arcana Naturae (Agorà & Co) will be looking at the “black legend” of alchemy and its intersections with the history of magic and science. Initially regarded as a “sacred art”, then for a time as a legitimate scientific pursuit, alchemy has nonetheless become synonymous with demonic practices in the collective imagination. How can such a turnaround be explained? When did it start, who were its instigators (whether voluntary or involuntary), and what were its consequences?

Historical Epistemology: Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices
Ten years ago, the Research Network on the History and Methods of Historical Epistemology, EpistHist, began in Paris with its inaugural workshop on épistémologie historique. These workshops have turned into an annual opportunity to discuss key issues in the history and philosophy of sciences and engage in contemporary methodological debates. This anniversary workshop will focus on the topic of Intersections of Psychological Research and Psychotherapeutic Practices. Here, we aim to explore which approaches within historical epistemology are most suitable for investigating the production of knowledge and practices related to the psyche. We welcome proposals exploring the relationship between scientific inquiries producing knowledge and the technical development of psychotherapeutic practices.
