    Entre l’« Orient » et l’« Occident » : les miroirs réfléchissants de l’imaginaire dans les arts du spectacle

    Cette journée d’études a pour objet de penser les imaginaires croisés de l’« Orient » et de l’« Occident », tels qu’ils se reflètent et se répondent pour fabriquer des hiérarchies aux effets bien réels, dans le cadre de la production d’artefacts culturels et en particulier dans les arts du spectacle, en s’ouvrant également aux industries culturelles des images animées.

    La naissance du poème

    « Carnets de Poédiles » n°3

    Le troisième appel à contribution des Carnets de Poédiles s’intéresse à la naissance du poème, comme temps de préparation de l’écriture tout aussi bien que temps décomposé de la fabrique du poème. Il s’agit de recevoir la naissance du poème dans une compréhension créative, stratégique, processuelle, matérielle ou documentaire de ce(s) moment(s), déterminant(s) dans l’invention du poème et pourtant faiblement considéré(s) en tant que tel dans les approches didactiques de la littérature.

    Attractiveness and mobility networks: seducing, welcoming and integrating

    As part of the study day "Attractiveness and Mobility Networks," PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars are invited to explore the dynamics of attractiveness in individual and collective mobilities, from the Bronze Age to the modern era. The event focuses on the legal, political, and social mechanisms implemented to attract, welcome, and integrate individuals into networks. It also examines the formal and informal circulation of information, as well as the processes of community clustering. Particular attention will be given to both the successes and failures of these mechanisms of attractiveness.

    French archaeology archives abroad : what collaborations?

    "Interdisciplinarity is part of the very definition of archaeology. To interpret their data, archaeologists need others. They are not alone, but they know this and embrace it." While interdisciplinary collaboration is indeed necessary and commonplace for the interpretation of archaeological data, the same is not true for their management and preservation according to archival principles. However, collaboration with archivists is essential during and after research programs to ensure the proper preservation of data throughout their life cycle and to build future archival heritage.

    Third Space and Ancient World Studies

    The Spatial Turn of the 1980’s shifted the attention of scholars in Humanities, Social, and Cultural Studies towards questions of human interaction with landscape and the physical environment. At the same time, the term space was defined as more than just physical places, rather, social spaces and the production of such in the context of human interaction became the leading research focus. This conference seeks to develop the research on spatial perception in ancient societies by gathering scholars of any discipline in the Humanities, Social Sciences and Cultural Sciences to discuss spatial concepts from their own disciplinary perspective.

    Haunted Archives of Livingness

    Visual Culture and the Politics of Care in the Age of Ecological Entanglement

    Titled Haunted Archives of Livingness: Visual Culture and the Politics of Care in the Age of Ecological Entanglement, this year’s edition invites reflections on how contemporary artistic practices engage with ecological, political, and affective entanglements through archival thinking. In light of deepening environmental crises and social inequalities, the archive emerges not only as a site of memory and power but as a porous and generative terrain—an unstable corpus of living matter in constant metamorphosis. The conference aims to examine how artists, researchers, and cultural practitioners mobilize photography and visual media to activate archives that are haunted by histories of violence, yet reanimated through care, resistance, and speculative reimaginings.

    Etruscan Landscapes

    Power, Society, and Territorial Dynamics in a Changing Italy (cent. 4th BC-1st AD)

    Rome’s conquest of Italy wrecked the existing political environment. This struggle involved Greeks, peoples of Central Italy, Gauls, Etruscans, and shaped the Mediterranean world, giving the historical base on which our own was built. Yet, it remains not fully understood. Through a multidisciplinary analysis integrating archaeological and historical sources, this conference aims to investigate the transformation of power dynamics—military, economic, and social—and their impact on both urban centres and peripheral territories.

    Pius XII and Decolonization: Catholicism in North Africa and the Levant

    1939-1958

    this conference examines the Catholic Church’s engagement with decolonization in North Africa and the Levant during the pontificate of Pius XII (1939–1958). This conference seeks to explore key questions: What role did the Catholic Church – both as an institution and as a diverse religious community – play in decolonization? How did Vatican diplomacy interact with local clergy, indigenous populations, and political movements? To what extent were these interactions shaped by competition, hybridization, and exchange? How did decolonization influence doctrinal transformations in the 1940s and 1950s, paving the way for the Second Vatican Council? The conference aims to critically engage with newly available sources, prioritizing transnational perspectives and highlighting the agency of marginalized actors. In addition to the recently declassified archives of Pius XII, scholars employing diverse methodologies and archival materials are welcomed.

    Vulnérables

    Enjeux éthiques, pratiques professionnelles et perspectives critiques en sciences sociales

    Le colloque propose de mettre en débat une question transversale à l’ensemble des contributions attendues : comment la vulnérabilité interroge les présupposés des conceptions de la justice sociale, de la responsabilité et de l’autonomie individuelle ? Cette question articule les trois axes du colloque – enjeux éthiques, pratiques professionnelles et économie solidaire – et ouvre un espace interdisciplinaire d’analyse critique sur les formes de vulnérabilisation et les réponses sociales, sociétales et politiques qui y sont apportées. Cet appel invite à explorer les multiples facettes de la vulnérabilité – sociale, économique, relationnelle – et à questionner les réponses que peuvent apporter les acteurs sociaux, les professionnelles et professionnels des organisations collectives, les personnes accompagnées, les politiques publiques et les initiatives locales, ainsi que les manières dont la vulnérabilité continue d’interroger notre bestiaire théorique traditionnel.

    Les archives de la politique de la ville

    Fin 2025, les Archives nationales de France et le Comité d’histoire de la politique de la ville organisent une journée d’études qui aura pour thème les archives de la politique de la ville. L’objectif de cette journée sera d’une part d’apporter un éclairage historique et historiographique sur cette politique publique. La journée d’études abordera d’autre part l’implication et le rôle des archivistes à l’égard de cette politique publique. Quelles actions mettre en place afin de sensibiliser à l’importance de ces archives ? En quoi la conservation et la valorisation des archives de la politique de la ville sont-elles utiles, nécessaires ? Quels ont été et sont les acteurs et les politiques de collecte de ces archives ? Quels sont les instruments que les archivistes mettent à la disposition des chercheurs et du grand public pour leur permettre d’accéder aux fonds ? Quels sont les types de valorisations portés au sein des services d’archives et avec qui ? La journée d’études sera l’occasion de découvrir comment les historiens, les chercheurs s’emparent des sources, ce qu’ils en font, ce qu'ont été et sont aujourd’hui leurs sujets de recherche privilégiés.

    Metallon

    The Exploitation of Subsurface Resources in Ancient Greece

    The Greek term metallon may refer to either a mine or a quarry, whether used for the extraction of rock, ore, or salt. In this sense, it does not denote the nature of the resources themselves, but rather their shared origin: the subsurface. This common provenance opens the door to a cross-disciplinary reflection on the exploitation and management of such resources in ancient Greece. In recent decades, the study of the past has seen a growing interest in environmental questions. A key dimension of this research concerns the relationship between ancient societies and their environment: how did human groups interact with their surroundings to meet their needs, build infrastructure, or produce everyday objects? In this field, the rise of interdisciplinary approaches – at the intersection of archaeological sciences and historical inquiry – combined with recent methodological advances, has led to major developments in the field.

    French in Contact and in Context(s): Linguistic and Didactic Perspectives

    Contextes et Didactiques n° 26, 2025

    This issue 26 of the journal Contextes et Didactiques is a follow-up to the 3rd International Colloquium of the Observatoire des Pratiques Langagières Actuelles (OPLA), which took place on 15 April 2025 at the University of the West Indies and on 29 April 2025 at the University of Geneva. The aim of the OPLA project, to be implemented in 2022, is to provide information on the current social and cultural situation of French speakers through the prism of their language practices. It also aims to contribute to the development of French language teaching practices that are more consistent with the realities of language as perceived by learners, teachers and trainers. In this context, a number of conferences and symposia have been held to showcase the progress of the work and to put it in dialogue with others working on the same issues. This issue 26 highlights the results of the discussions at the most recent colloquium.

    The making of education in the South

    RIED 261

    This issue aims to analyse recent changes in education systems in developing countries, where demand for education is high but research in this area is limited. Based on empirical studies, the issue examines the roles, dynamics and strategies of traditional, emerging and new educational stakeholders, as well as the impact of the diversification of educational provision. This ranges from 'premium' establishments for the elite to 'bottom-of-the-range' courses for the most disadvantaged. The issue examines the growing segmentation of the education market and the resulting regulatory measures, considering their potential to either harmonise or exacerbate inequalities in access to education at various levels (local, national and international).

    Italian catholic culture through the periodical press between reconstruction and the “Economic miracle”

    "Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea" Journal (December 2026)

    After the World War II in Italy there was a proliferation of periodical publications differing in orientation, field of interest and groups of pression, which in the framework of the new democratic and republican order came to constitute a fundamental vehicle of ideas and cultural models, as well as an instrument employable in the political struggle. This development also affected the Catholic world. This call aims to investigate publishing “products” produced by ecclesiastical or secular entities for a wide or targeted audience, aimed at instructing, educating, outlining models, awakening devotions and other religious practices, as well as directing social and political behavior.

    The Night in the Modern Era. Interpretations, Conflicts, and Changes

    "Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea" Journal (March 2027)

    The nighttime holds both symbolic and practical meanings, representing a space of negotiations, conflicts and changes in societies. It has its own rhythms and customs. This special issue od Diachronie aims to explore the theme of the night in the Modern era, with particular attention to the social, cultural and political dynamics characterised by their occurrence at nightfall. What experiences, actors, and practices transpass the boundaries between legality and subversion in nightlife? Or what metaphorical meanings has the night taken on?
