Writing about 19th c. mid-size cities

The proliferation of machine vision systems and generative AI models has recently transformed part of our visual culture, giving rise to new typologies of moving images that require us to re-examine certain key concepts. Organised by the LIRA (Laboratoire International de Recherches en Art) and the IRCAV (Institut de Recherche sur le Cinéma et l’Audiovisuel) at Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, with the contribution of the IUF (Institut Universitaire de France), this international conference will explore the implications of AI algorithms and models on the concept and practice of montage, questioning its historical theories, analysis and gestures, as well as its forms and techniques in the field of generative images.

Southern Resilience and Emancipation in a Post-Westerndom World: Reflections on Global Governance
This panel would provide an empirical approach on what next of the controverted emergent Western ideocide, as a legitimacy crisis shaped new global governance structures. It also explores the anxieties surrounding the stress of Western dominance, the theoretical implications of the global south as affected by schizophrenic anxiety caused by a lack of ability to maintain Western hegemonic ethno-supremacy, and the recovery implications of Western anxieties. The concept of ‘ideocide’ serves as a focal point to discuss the transformation of global governance in light of these events.

À la croisée des idées : l’empreinte de l’extrême droite sur les débats politiques contemporains
Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif d’interroger l’évolution des valeurs, des idées et thématiques défendues par l’extrême droite, et, inversement, de l’effet de la montée en puissance électorale de l’extrême droite sur les débats politiques contemporains, en Europe et dans le monde. Les questions au cœur de cette journée d’étude seront axées autour de ce croisement, tout en restant ouvertes. Elle portera d’une part sur l’appropriation de thématiques à priori éloignées des racines idéologiques de l’extrême droite, telles que l’écologie ou le féminisme, sans s’y restreindre. D’autre part, nous souhaitons également interroger la diffusion des idées d’extrême droite dans les différentes sphères de l’espace social et politique et ses effets.

“Making place” in the contemporary city
The interest of this issue of Territoires en mouvement Journal lies in grasping the making of a place as a plural dynamic, bringing to light the processes at work in the social production of urban spaces, depending on the diachronic and synchronic scales and the situations under observation. The aim here is to ask researchers from all disciplines to narrow their analytical focus and use place as a tool for describing and understanding contemporary cities. Every place is unique, but every place is part of the history of cities and urban development.

Choròi parálleloi. Pathways on Dance and Ancient Performance: Philology and Contemporary Visions
The International Conference Choròi parálleloi. Pathways on Dance and Ancient Performance: Philology and Contemporary Visions will accept work proposals and outcomes reflecting the multiple research lines in the field of dance in the Classical and Late Antiquity as well as in the Middle Ages, taking into account recent philological acquisitions (literary and documentary sources, exegesis of Christian texts) and contemporary investigation methodologies. Our goal is to project historical-philological studies onto a terrain of dialogue encompassing performance and performance practice studies, both reconstructive and 'exegetical' through the incorporation of ancient myths.

Forgery, Fraud, Deception and Dissimulation in the Pre-Modern Mediterranean
Fake news, fake flags, fake papers... All were legion in the premodern Mediterranean. Whether or not this place of islands and enclaves, cultural archipelagos and fragmented sovereignties was especially conducive to dissimulation, it is an ideal place for studying different forms of forgery, fraud and self-fashioning.

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.

The Culture of Suspicion: Creating Suspects in the Age of Revolutions
The workshop will examine the impact of suspicion in the age of the Atlantic Revolutions (from around 1770 to 1830) in Europe and its colonial territories. We invite contributions that focus on the question of how individuals or groups of people became suspects of hostility towards the existing monarchical or revolutionary order, and thus potentially subversive. Contributions may deal with the narrative construction of suspicion as well as the practical surveillance measures and juridical proceedings that were used against the suspects.

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.

Les transmissions des savoirs dans l’espace transatlantique au XIXe et XXe siècles
Prenant pour point de départ la Révolution française et l’indépendance latino-américaine dans le long XIXe siècle (Hobsbawn, 2012), dont la transmission des savoirs s’effectue dans l’espace atlantique dans une perspective diplomatique, et couvrant tout le XXe siècle, où s’établissent de nouvelles dynamiques politiques et communicationnelles, telles que la fin de l’Union soviétique, la fondation de l’Union européenne et la massification d’Internet, cette journée d’étude cherche à rassembler des chercheuses et chercheurs des domaines les plus divers dont les recherches prennent en compte la circulation des idées, les transferts et les médiations culturelles, les circuits économiques et symboliques et l’ensemble du réseau médiatique complexe qui transmet les informations et les savoirs dans l’espace transatlantique.

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.)
