  Histoire et mémoire : réinterprétation épistémologique du passé de l’Afrique dans un contexte postcolonial

  “Práticas da História” journal

  This special issue of Práticas da História is interested in receiving contributions, referring to colonial and post-colonial African contexts. It is important to better understand what is happening in different African countries, at the level of the Academy but also in other spaces where social memory and history confront each other, and how political, ideological, economic and linguistic factors interfere in those situations. In the case of the former Portuguese colonies, which will soon celebrate 50 years of independence, there are additional factors, such as the later end of colonial rule and the delay in historiography about Africa that occurred until recent decades, both in Portugal and in Brazil.

  (Digital) Retrospectives on Historiography from Africa. Decolonization, the African press, and the uses of knowledge

  Journal « Práticas da História »

  This special issue of Práticas da História reflects on contemporary epistemological possibilities and constraints in the writing of history. Therefore, it welcomes both contributions that dwell on African journals (scholarly, literary, artistic and ephemeral periodicals) from the 1950s to 1980s, and on the histories behind said periodicals. We look forward to contributions that explore different and contested visions of decolonization and future-making for the African continent and its diaspora. We also invite articles investigating differently situated historiographies from Africa: that use local vernacular by incorporating idiom, local imagery, myth and folklore; that relate to the present or the deep past. We also encourage more nuanced takes on the “nationalist historiography” that when viewed as a monolith was so dominant at the time.

  Why Humanities?

  The Decline and Fall of the Role of Human Sciences in the Euro-Atlantic World

  The goal of this international conference is to analyze and describe the mechanisms at work in the last 120 years which led to a comprehensive and global decline of the role of the humanities, especially in Europe and the US. We are interested in papers questioning the capitalistic strategies of the main publishing houses, predatory attitudes to research results, issues of “academic colonialism,” such as peer-review practices excluding selected topics and scholars from non-Euro-Atlantic institutions (e.g. the Global South, Eastern Europe etc.), monolinguistic normalization, the loss of diversity in topics, and the ways in which politics and media are openly denigrating the agency of human sciences.

  Subversive Intrusions: Redefining the Museum Through Activist Interventions

  The editors are looking for original chapters and shorter contributions (interviews, manifestoes, dialogues, etc.) for an interdisciplinary edited volume exploring the phenomenon of artistic and activist-lead intrusive performances in large European and American museums. By interrogating cases of gendered objectification, cultural appropriation, and hierarchical monopolization of vision within Western museums, the contributions to this book explore how these performances (and the actors behind them) contribute to the redefinition of the modern conception of the Western museum.

  Archival practices in contemporary visual arts. A model and a source

  Reframing the Archive – International Conference on Photography and Visual Culture (5th edition)

  In recent years, scholars have increasingly turned their attention to the author’s archive as a vital component in studies on the preservation of historical documents and art objects. Research efforts are expanding to develop criteria for the conservation and administration of contemporary art archives, describe case studies on the acquisition or museamisation of art document collections, and critically reinterpret artistic and artists’ correspondence sourced from archives of artists, critics and scholars.  We welcome proposals from scholars at any stage of their careers, as well as visual artists and other professionals in the field of visual arts, to reflect on contemporary archive-based visual arts and contemporary archival sources and collections.

  Travelling to the East. Marco Polo and the Mendicant Friars

  During the two days that will take place in Venice on 25 and 26 October 2024, the aim is to celebrate the story of Marco Polo through a multidisciplinary approach that sees Polo as the most famous figure but also covers themes and characters equally worthy of in-depth study. The papers will be divided into three sections: the first will be of a historical-philological nature and the history of thought (The Dominicans and Marco Polo); the second dedicated to the discovery of the literary genre linked to the journey, with particular reference to the missionary one (The Periegetic and the Missions to the East); and finally a third section focusing on artistic aspects and cultural exchanges (The East of Silk and the Arts, Maps and Polo’s Iconographies).

  Disability in World Cinema: Translating Subjectivity

  Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association

  This panel aims to address the question of the representation of disability in world cinema (fiction and documentary), while moving away from a purely historical approach that would primarily focus on the evolution of representation of disability to consider how Disability Studies have enabled us to reconsider the cinematic representations of disability. This panel hinges on the assumption that Disability Studies have given rise to a series of critical and theoretical tools, as well as to a renewed perception of disability that no longer sees it as a hindrance, but rather as a driving force for creation.

  Discours idéologique et discours publicitaire dans les médias et les universités

  Can we distinguish in the current discourses of the media and universities their roles in our societies? This distinction is important because it refers to the knowledge that journalists and professors put forward through their communications and actions. Do they participate objectively developing the autonomous and enlightened thinking of the citizens of today and tomorrow by democratically supporting their quest for understanding? Or have they become the spokesmen of a single, and therefore partial and partial, way of thinking? What is its legitimacy and relevance when it organizes the information transmitted according to ideological interests, such as a promotional or advertising campaign?

  Other Voices. Resilience, Identities and Politicization of Local Agents and the unfolding of the Modern State (17th-19th Centuries)

  This international conference wants to reflect on the interaction between local agents and the institutional State Building policies between the 17th and the 19th Centuries. The construction of the Modern State, far from being a top-down vertical process, has consisted of a debate, often tense - if not adverse - between the interests of local communities and the State apparatus or raison d'état. In this way, the aim is to achieve a much more complete knowledge of the construction of the Modern State based on the study of the local sphere. The conference presented here is undoubtedly boldly conceived: to bring together marginal orisolated aspects and intertwine them to revisit specific historiographical hypotheses.

  Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

  This second Art in the Age of Artificial Intelligence (3AI) observes that an increasing number of artworks are now inspired by or produced with advanced technologies mainly influenced by generative AI, deeply infused at the very heart of the artworks. Such development interrogates the notion of Art, including the artist and the definition of artistic approach. It also questions how artworks are discovered, exchanged, collected, and preserved. The advent of increasingly advanced digital technologies provokes profound philosophical and ethical inquiries. These ongoing transformations across artistic, cultural, economic, political, and professional realms seem to be long-lasting, with implications that have started to resonate within society.

  “Like a Face Drawn in Sand at the Edge of the Sea”

  Vicissitudes of the Posthuman Forty Years After Foucault’s Death

  Forty years after Foucault's death and sixty after the publication of An Archaeology of the Human Sciences, we would like to invite you to interrogate the posthuman as an open problem and process on the historical and epistemic level. In particular, we would like to discuss whether and how historiographical and methodological issues pertaining to the archeological project have been transformed, scaled down, transposed or partially resolved today.

  Drivers of Change, Labour migrants from the Middle East, North Africa, and Turkey and social transformation in Western Europe, 1960-1990

  Labour migrants were a transformative power in Western Europe, provoking intended and unintended, large and small societal changes. It nevertheless remains challenging to fully integrate migrants’ pivotal roles into our fundamental comprehension of social, cultural, and political change in Western Europe. This workshop aims to merge subfields at the intersection of migration history to integrate the history of post-war labour migration into a larger narrative.

  Ideas of Europe and Images of Russia. From the Eighteenth Century to the Present

  XV Annual Conference of the Research Network on the History of Idea of Europe

  (Western) European perceptions of and discourses about Russia tell us much more about Europe’s self-perceptions (and delusions) than about Russia itself. And the same holds true for Russian views about Europe. Underlying such a complex identity-formation processes is an often troublesome intellectual dialogue between Europe and Russia, between two closely entwined entities. One of the purposes of this international conference, is to shed light on such a dialogue, discern its main elements, and its untold assumptions and underlying prejudices. The overall aim is to examine how images of Europe and discussions about Russian identity have interacted and influenced each other. Embracing a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach, the conference aims to engage intellectual, cultural, social, and art historians as well as literary scholars and political theorists.

  Histoires de photographies à partir des luttes d’indépendances : pratiques, circulations et esthétiques

  Constat connu : l’histoire de la photographie comme discipline s'est majoritairement construite comme étant celle de la photographie « occidentale », plus précisément celle de l’Europe et des États-Unis. Entre l’introduction de photographes que l’on a pu qualifier d’« extra-occidentaux » sur le marché de l’art contemporain depuis les années 1990 et les nombreux travaux sur les histoires du médium pendant les périodes coloniales, il persiste un manque sur les histoires de la photographie à partir des luttes de libération et des indépendances dans une perspective globale et transnationale, toutes zones géographiques confondues. L’objectif de ce colloque est de valoriser des histoires de la photographie engendrées pendant les processus de décolonisations tout en repensant les approches méthodologiques et esthétiques du médium encore trop occidentalo-centrées.

  Liberty on parole? Challenges in interactivity

  Journal “AN-ICON. Studies in Environmental Images”

  The cfp, edited by Pietro Montani and Andrea Pinotti, is titled “Liberty on parole? Challenges in interactivity” and it's dedicated to the evolving forms of interactivity in the contemporary mediascapes, the issues it raises, as well as its limitations. To what extent does interactivity emancipate the user and redefines the roles both of producer and consumer? To what extent is interactivity outlined as yet another articulation of that inevitable observance of rules (Crary 1990) that marks by definition every relationship of the observer with the media with which he interacts? To what extent does the gained freedom remain a form of freedom conditioned by structural constraints, a liberty on parole?

  Architecture of the Past: inspiration for the Future

  L’architecture, en réponse à des besoins universels, s’est développée sous des formes diverses, dans des milieux variés et présente de ce fait une multiplicité de solutions. Cette diversité des formes du bâti et d’espaces habités intéresse de nombreuses disciplines qui ont rarement l’opportunité d'échanger. La visée de cet événement interdisciplinaire sera donc de réunir archéologues, historiens, architectes, artisans, conservateurs, restaurateurs et ethnologues afin qu’ils partagent leurs travaux et recherches sur des pratiques et ouvrages architecturaux présentant un intérêt face aux enjeux environnementaux, sociaux et économiques actuels et à venir. L’objectif est de montrer que l’architecture de demain s’invente aussi au regard du passé, qu’elle soit savante ou vernaculaire, quels qu’en soient les matériaux, la période, la zone géographique ou l’aire culturelle. La liste de thèmes proposés est détaillée dans l'appel à communication.

  Personnes trans, queer et « troisième genre » en pays musulmans

  Revue « Anthropology of the Middle East » n° 20.1, 2025

  Aujourd’hui, malgré certains interdits, de plus en plus de personnes trans et queer affichent leur identité de genre dans les sociétés musulmanes. Historiquement, au-delà de l’importance de la binarité des genres et de leur séparation spatiale dans les pays musulmans, il existe contre toute attente dans cette région du monde de nombreuses figures de « troisième genre », selon le terme employé par l’anthropologue Gilbert Herdt. Par « troisième genre » dans le monde musulman, on pense en général à l’eunuque des harems ottomans, mais bien d’autres figures existent en contexte islamique, variables selon les pays (Algérie, Tunisie, Maroc, Mauritanie, Égypte, Liban, Émirats Arabes Unis, Oman, Turquie, Iran, Asie Centrale, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indonésie, Albanie…) et les époques. Le vocabulaire et les réalités étant plurielles selon les pays et les périodes, les spécificités de ces figures et les noms qui les désignent seront analysés ainsi que les manières propres à ces groupes ou à ces individus de s’autodésigner. Ce numéro examinera ces figures de façon collective en tant que groupe (hijra, trans, queer…), en précisant leur rôle et leur statut social, mais il s’attachera également à ces figures en tant qu’individus.
