L’objectif de ces journées est d’étudier la citadinité révolutionnaire, afin de nourrir la réflexion sur une série de notions connexes : habitat / logement / propriété. Chacune de ces notions renvoie à des rapports sociaux structurés par une série d’oppositions (sédentaires et nomades, propriétaires et locataires, résidence recensée et logement clandestin, logés et mal-logés) et à un spectre large de pratiques plus ou moins normées ou alternatives. Intégrer ces différents termes, étudier leurs variations, permettra non seulement de revenir sur les apports de différentes disciplines des sciences sociales, mais aussi d’être attentif aux variations des sources en fonction des contextes révolutionnaires.

The aim of this conference is to build a transdisciplinary dialogue to explore how certain perceptions create certain images, convey information and its interpretation(s) around the “event”, broadly understood here as an occurrence perceived as significant, whether it is singular or part of a sequence or even a series of sequences (assassination, conclave, embassy, battle, jubilee, canonization...). The focus is placed on the early modern period because the increase of writing and the greater circulation of images and information “fixed” events on an unprecedented scale; often, these new ways of viewing events were forged thousands of kilometers away from the place where the event occurred. Rome and the Italian peninsula in the sixteenth century will be at the heart of our interrogations both as represented space(s) and as place(s) of projections onto the world.

The first aim of this Special Issue is methodological: the renewed interest in development archives raises questions, particularly among young researchers, about how to identify, collect, and use them, and about their limits. The special issue will thus offer a set of methodological reference points to anyone wishing to use such archives. The second aim will be to lay the foundations for a more ambitious project to study development archives from a perspective at the crossroads of “connected history” and “global historical sociology”.

“The body of an athlete and the soul of a sage - these are what we require to be happy”, wrote Voltaire to Helvetius. At RITA, although we don’t claim to have athletic bodies, we humbly hope that our journal does lead to the path of wisdom. As Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024, we thought it relevant to invite researchers to show wisdom and gain some critical distance to question the role and function of sports in the Americas, from North to South.

The collection of case studies which were presented in 2018 and 2020 as part of the DANUBIUS project gave rise to a whole series of new historical questions and unexpected results. Some of the main elements of the dossier will be published in a supplement to the Frontière·s journal. The aim of this call for papers is to complete this dossier with some new cases studies, mainly for the regions that were not represented or less represented during the 2018 and 2020 workshops: Britain, Gaul, Germany, Caucasus, North-Eastern Anatolia, the Middle East and Egypt.

The theme of this issue pursues questions that the journal Espaces et Sociétés has previously raised about the relationship between educational and territorial dynamics. Its originality will therefore consist in documenting the way in which neoliberal dynamics, which run through the education sector from primary to higher education, are contributing to the creation of contemporary spaces, both in peripheral areas and in central urban ones – as well as in spaces created specifically for education, such as campuses or emerging educational hubs, for example in Asia and the Middle East. It will also look at how educational models are internationalized and circulate in this process, between primary, secondary and higher education, between public and private, between North and South, without presupposing that this circulation is unidirectional.

En 2024 on commémorera le trentième anniversaire du départ des « Alliés » de Berlin. 49 ans durant leur présence aura marqué la ville dans son histoire, sa structure urbaine et tous les secteurs d’activité. La ville a été le lieu d’échanges multidirectionnels entre les diverses « communautés » alliées et berlinoises. La chute du Mur marque le début de la sortie de la Guerre froide en Europe. Après un bilan sur la présence des quatre occupants / alliés à Berlin, ce colloque analysera les conditions et la mise en œuvre du départ des militaires alliés ainsi que ses répercussions sur la ville de Berlin dans des perspectives multiples : qu’il s’agisse de l’arrivée de la Bundeswehr d’un point de vue militaire, ou bien de l’impact sur le paysage urbain, sur les évolutions démographiques, sociales, culturelles, ou économiques. Enfin, on s’interrogera sur les traces et la mémoire de la présence militaire alliée à Berlin depuis 1994.

The international symposium Télé—Visions brings together a body of recent work on the influence of emission, transmission and reception technologies in the visual arts and visual culture, from the 19th century to the present. Beyond the medium of television itself, the plural “tele-visions” refers to the variety of remote viewing and image transmission techniques which, from semaphores to wireless telegraphy and up to fiber optics and contemporary networks, have configured new models for the circulation and transmission of images. Dialoguing with the history of science and technology as well as with media archaeology, the contributors to the conference will explore broad topics such as the joint evolution of perceptual regimes and remote transmission techniques, the modalities of “prosthetic vision,” the material effects of image transmission and the spatio-temporal issues inherent to network dynamics.

In this seminar we propose to re-centre various cultural representations arising from literature (oral and written), artistic mediums, media, music and cinema by Francophone Sub-Saharan women. Importantly, this seminar aims to go beyond the denunciation-celebration axis that has so far tinged many a study on polygamy in cultural representations from the continent to explore polygamy in all its forms, including unofficial extra-marital relations implying tacit acceptance of polygamy (Boni, 139), and modes of expression.

We invite contributions dedicated to the dynamics of the re-signification of subaltern writings in public space in the early modern and modern period. Ordinary writings produced by subaltern actors (popular classes, men and women, childhood) in the transition from the private to the public sphere should therefore be investigated with particular attention to the spaces used, the practices adopted, the strategies of visibility (or obscuration) chosen, the appropriations by civil society, the policies of preservation of popular memory and the pedagogical- didactic use of writings.

The musée national de la Marine and the Département des recherches archéologiques subaquatiques et sous-marines partner up and join forces to organize an international symposium dedicated to the recovery, and potential reuse/recycling of material remains from maritime orriver boats, after they have been wrecked, permanently decommissioned or abandoned. Excluded from this theme are the remains of drowned bodies retrieved from wrecks or washed ashore. Chronologically, the focus is on the long term, from Antiquity to the present day. No geographical limits have been set.

The conference concerned by this call for paper is part of the ANR program Children in decolonization: forced migrations and individual construction (EN-MIG) and aims at restituting the program’s results. It focuses on forced migration to France or its possessions involving children from different parts of the decaying French colonial empire. The comparative dimension lies at the heart of this symposium. It should make it possible to shed light on both the common points and the specificities of each collective migratory history. The trajectories of migrant children are often intertwined and also benefit from being studied from a connected history perspective.

If ever there was a graphic line that carried the desire to visualise the invisible, it is the diagram. This workshop aims to examine the way in which artists used diagrams in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. By favouring case studies, it aims to renew the study of artists’ and writers’ diagrams that have already been identified and to bring to light previously unidentified artistic works, in order to understand how they function as images and thought processes, as well as their relationship to the scientific modes of visualisation of their time.

This thematic issue of RadioMorphoses will gather with researches working on radio in contexts charaterized by domination. Although it will especially welcome articles focusing on the uses of radio in colonial settings, in situations characterized by racial domination or ethnic domination, proposals relating to the wider field of domination can be considered. The central question at the basis of this volume will be to analyze the dynamics binding together radio, community and power; either in aiming to reproduce social hierarchies or to contest it? How has radio been used to build cultural identities within oppressive situations? Did it rely on community, particularly race-based ones? How divers publics have appropriated broadcasting contents, often in unexpected manners? This thematic issue also seeks to bring together fruitful perpectives that rarely intersect.

Following on from two previous issues of Transbordeur—no 3 “Câble, copie code. Photographie et technologies de l’information” (2019) and no 7 “Images composites” (2023)—this issue aims to situate the phenomenon of algorithmic images within a history of technical images and an archaeology of visual and photographic media. For example, it will trace the history of deep learning algorithms applied to images, and the datasets used to train them. It will also involve situating the criteria adopted to invent and deploy these technologies in a historical perspective. In order to understand the historical depth of a phenomenon that we all too often tend to confine to our immediate present, the years 1980-1990 will be particularly examined, given that the advances we are seeing before our eyes are the consequences of successful experiments or failures experienced at the time of the first, vast development of software technologies and the internet.

While the reception of classical German philosophy by French philosophers has been the subject of a number of studies, thanks in particular to the development of studies on cultural transfers, research has so far given little attention to the question of its knowledge and use by artists. The aim of the conference is to open up a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, informed by case studies, on the role of the discovery of German Idealist and Romantic philosophies among European and American artists (visual, performing and scenic arts), from the early nineteenth century to contemporary art.

Drawing from studies that lie within the framework of major contemporary “migration corridors” (Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, North America), this topical collection aims to explore the relationship between risk and migration from the perspective of migrants, at a time when the perils associated with crossing borders reach an unprecedented intensity. The reflection will focus on how migrants perceive the uncertainties and risks related to the decision to leave, and on the practices and mechanisms they use to manage these risks. In doing so, the notion of risk itself, as a culturally situated relation to the present and future, can be subject to critical reflection by examining the very concrete effects of uncertainty on the structuring of biographical trajectories in migration. Finally, this collection also aims to understand the link between the practical management of risk by migrants on a daily basis, and the management systems of “migration risks” implemented by institutional players.

How are female readers of fiction represented in contemporary literature? If female readers have long been associated with a form of vulnerability linked to the topos of the dangers of reading on the one hand, and with an eroticized vision of reading on the other, it is clear that the contemporary age is making an effort to change these images. The rise of feminist thought, reflections on gender, and the pragmatic turn of reception theories are all new critical inheritances that twist the literary representation of women, and that change its female readers. Figures like these thus give us the singular opportunity of thinking reading practices through the lens of gender.
