Dominant scholarly narratives have historically privileged Western epistemologies, often marginalizing other knowledge systems and practices. This special issue seeks to reposition the discourse by centering diverse global perspectives on cultural production, expression, and heritage. Contributions are invited that critically examine how notions of authenticity, continuity, and reconfiguration shape and are shaped by cultural practices in various global contexts. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches and empirically grounded studies that explore the interface between tradition and innovation in both local and transnational cultural dynamics.

They offered insights and models for reflection, which were, however, interrupted by the “agony” surrounding the concept of habit in philosophy during the twentieth century. Ultimately, philosophies of habit have only partially examined the question of how habit is subverted during crises. Although there has been a resurgence of interest in the constitution, function, and nature of habit in the past two decades, the explanatory hypotheses developed appear incomplete. Crises are often perceived as moments of rupture and interruption, but contemporary perspectives increasingly conceptualize them as enduring conditions. The international conference aims to address these questions from philosophical-theoretical, historical, psychological, linguistic, and ecological-scientific perspectives.

It has served as a strategic tool for social engineering and the construction of national identity. Beyond evaluating reforms and persistent challenges, the aim of this conference is to provide a comprehensive overview of Turkey's current education landscape, and to explore structuring historical and contemporary issues. It invites multidisciplinary perspectives (history, social sciences, political sciences, educational studies) to examine the political conditions and effects of school institutions across primary, secondary, and higher education levels.

Summer School Wrocław (50-139) https://calenda.org/1219848 https://calenda.org/1219848 Thu, 09 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0100 Today the didactics of literature is a crucial field of research for understanding and renewing literary education in schools and universities. Originating from the challenges of mass schooling, brought to a clearer institutionalisation in Italy by the demands of teacher training, it explores the methods, contents and practices related to the teaching and learning of literature, with theoretical as well as empirical perspectives. The didactics of literature not only offers essential tools for reflecting on the formative value of literary texts and how to make them accessible and meaningful to new generations of students, but also asks fundamental questions to literary theory. The purpose of the closing conference of the PRIN project Teaching literature: a field of research is to reflect on the role of literary education, anchoring it to epistemological and methodological questions. The conference aims to provide a platform for discussing current research, promoting dialogue between researchers from an international perspective and encouraging the comparison of different approaches and traditions.

Conference, symposium Zurich https://calenda.org/1190364 https://calenda.org/1190364 Mon, 23 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200 UNESCO played a pivotal role in shaping post-war educational transformations, contributing to the reconstruction of war-ravaged school systems and fostering new visions of education and learning. Notably, the organization assumed a critical role in the decolonization process, supporting the establishment of independent national education systems and promoting access to education for all peoples. In recognition of the 80th anniversary of UNESCO’s founding, the Roma Tre University is pleased to announce a call for papers for an international webinar series. This series is designed to provide a platform for presenters to showcase their ongoing research projects, discuss their chosen methodologies, highlight the types of sources being utilized, and share anticipated outcomes.

Republican alternatives to monarchies proliferated, even as colonial wars and abolitionist insurrections shook even the most entrenched empires. As a result, hundreds of thousands of people found themselves displaced and dispersed across the Atlantic world. While some chose to leave out of political or religious principle, others were forced out by some combination of ideological persecution, economic dislocation, and armed conflict. Wherever they ended up, the uprooted were forced to negotiate foreign and often hostile cultures and asylum practices. Drawing together historians and scholars of the literary, visual, and musical arts, this workshop aims to shed light on the least-visible members of these diasporas —women, children and servants— and to develop interdisciplinary perspectives on familial constellations of exile. Call for papers Bad Homburg https://calenda.org/1189947 https://calenda.org/1189947 Thu, 19 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0200 The conference aims to gather scholars working on legal history or other aspects related to the teaching of legal disciplines in a historical context in order to contribute to an intellectual history of this discipline. Although the conference focuses on identifying the intellectual contexts in which legal history developed, social aspects are also considered, since ideas do not exist independently of people. The social aspects could be, for instance, teachers and students at universities, royal academies, or other institutions disseminating knowledge.

A key aspect of this process was the introduction of specialized education, which often included language learning. This was particularly true for occupations where proficiency in specific languages was essential, such as diplomats, diplomatic translators, secretaries, scribes, scholars, and clerics. Moreover, due to the intensification of transnational contacts and geographical mobility among specialists as well as the circulation of printed books, language proficiency became an integral part of the education for many other professional groups, such as military officers, engineers, and artists. The objective of the workshop is to contribute to our understanding of the roles played by both state and private actors in the development of linguistic training for early modern professional groups and to assess differences in the emerging professionalisation policies across Europe.

Building on our understanding of the cultural production of emotional expressions, we seek to explore how people in the Middle Ages learned about emotions, how they managed and manifested them. We aim to place special emphasis on the textual aspects of socialization towards specific emotions and their expressions across different contexts and communities of the medieval world.

Our aim is to propose varied, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to the broad question of sex education, welcoming papers from historians, linguists, literary critics, sociologists, specialists in gender studies and others. Keeping in mind Foucault’s notion that sex is both hyper visible and taboo, we aim at providing in-depth discussions which will help better understand both formal and informal sex education taking into account the fact that sex education is fraught with cultural tensions and political feuds.

It has delivered most educational programmes to the student in an interactive way, ostensibly taking a cursive form in its relations with users regardless of the diversity of their educational field, while hiding a very complex form at the level of programming. We aim, through this international conference, to question the transition observed by the didactics of teaching, regardless of its scientific, literary or artistic field, to provide teacher-interactive lessons, as limiting the presentation of lessons to “PowerPoint” slides or PDF files uploaded on teaching platforms, no longer meets the requirements of the learner. Call for papers Berlin (10115) https://calenda.org/999033 https://calenda.org/999033 Tue, 31 May 2022 00:00:00 +0200 The symposium provides a unique opportunity for researchers in the emerging field of comparative didactics to meet across national, cultural, and disciplinary borders, and to initiate collective and individual projects. Whether conceptual or empirical, research in comparative didactics relates teaching and learning to curricular documents and to various societal and cultural matters. While subject didactics has several active networks, there are few meeting points for scholars in comparative didactics. Featuring state of the art keynotes, the suggested conference is designed to become a starting point for the development of a comprehensive communication infrastructure for European researchers in comparative didactics.

In recent years, there has been a renewed interest in this field of research, in parallel with a renewed interest in the League of Nations as a whole, in a context of doubts about the capacity of multilateral institutions. Without attempting to cover all the areas that remain to be studied in relation to intellectual cooperation and soft power diplomacy in the interwar period, such an event therefore seems to be a useful place of exchange at the crossroads between the archives, teaching and research communities. Conference, symposium Geneva https://calenda.org/987229 https://calenda.org/987229 Mon, 11 Apr 2022 00:00:00 +0200 Altralang Journal is now inviting the scholarly community, at both national and international levels, to submit their unpublished papers for publication.
