  Immobilizing the Gaze: the Visual Fabrication of Events in the Early Modern Period

  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.

  Some Case Studies from the Roman and Late Antique Periods

  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.

  Colonialismes et colonialités : théories et circulations en portugais et français

  “Colonialismos” e “colonialidades” são termos empregues no século XX para fazer referência à dinâmica que fundou o sistema-mundo capitalista a partir das colonizações europeias em todos os continentes, perpetuando na contemporaneidade práticas de subalternidades nascidas daquele contexto. Partindo destes dois termos, o colóquio apropria-se de um vocabulário comum: aquele em que a língua portuguesa e a língua francesa se difundiram pelo mundo. Este encontro apresenta os resultados de pesquisa do projeto Circulações da literatura pós-colonial em francês e em português (CILIPO-FP). O desafio de pensar as circulações entre dois sistemas linguísticos complexos e que implicam contextos e historicidades globais, foi lançado a catorze investigadoras e investigadores em 12 universidades, do Brasil, de Portugal e de França.

  Interdisciplinary Franco-Latin-American perspectives on challenges related to the environment

  Since the 1970s, environmental issues have continued to grow. Indeed, we have moved from a localized perception of environmental damage to a global understanding of the risks associated with climate change and their impacts on socio-ecosystems. In order to better respond to the challenges and stakes of the environmental crisis that is impacting us, it seems appropriate to share and make known the experiences and theories developed from different continents, cultures and geographies in order to enrich our object of study. In this regard, this Congress, which will be held from October 23 to 27, 2023 in Costa Rica, proposes to offer perspectives on multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary studies on environmental issues: climate change, biodiversity, resilience, global health, payments for environmental services, etc.

  Cultural Mediation in Language Teaching: Possibilities, Challenges Or Mission Impossible?

  Revue « Verbum et Lingua : Didactique, langue et culture »

  The editorial team of Verbum et Lingua has determined that the thematic focus of this publication will be “Cultural mediation in language teaching: possibilities, challenges or mission impossible?”. Cultural mediation is understood as the search for understanding and comprehension between linguistic and cultural differences of different communities. The teaching of languages and cultures plays a role in cultural mediation through pedagogy, linguistics, intercultural studies, research and methodological tools that serve this purpose. Therefore, the journal invites specialists in cultural mediation and linguistic intermediaries, interested in facilitating the teaching of languages and cultures as a bridge to a better understanding between them, to participate with article proposals.

  « La durabilité » : un contexte conceptuel dans l’art et le design

  Aujourd’hui, le monde vit l’impact des changements climatiques et environnementaux profonds et rapides qui ont eu des effets néfastes sur tous les êtres vivants de la planète. Pour cette raison, plusieurs pratiques artistiques se sont consacrées au traitement de la question de la « durabilité », et ce, afin de sensibiliser à la fragilité des conditions environnementales, sociales, économiques et bien d’autres, dans lesquelles l’accent a été mis sur l’exigence de rechercher des solutions radicales et prévenir pour ce danger qui nous menace. Sur cette base, les pratiques artistiques (dans les domaines de l’art et du design) préoccupées par la question de la durabilité, se sont ouvertes à plusieurs domaines pour inclure « l’art écologique » ou le « design écologique », « l’art vivant », « l’art du recyclage » ou « l’art de la récupération », afin de soulever un ensemble de questions, dont nous éclairerons certaines dans les axes de recherche.

  The public use of subordinate writings in the early modern and modern periods

  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.

  Perspectives de la recherche scientifique dans des contextes de crises au Brésil et en France

  Face à la pluralité des « crises » qui ont marqué la dernière décennie au Brésil et en France, le colloque de l’Associação dos pesquisadores e estudantes brasileiros na França (APEB-FR) propose d’aborder en 2023 la relation entre les sciences (la démarche scientifique) et les différents projets de société en débat dans ces contextes critiques. Nous abordons les questions liées à la collecte des données aujourd’hui, à la co-construction des savoirs, au rôle du chercheur en tant qu’acteur social, aux positions que nous prenons face aux problèmes qui se posent, parmi d’autres. Notre question principale est la suivante : quels mondes rendons-nous possibles en menant nos recherches ?

  Thinking about the material in a modest artists' book

  Although the book in all its variants and transformations plays a central role in almost every culture, it has long been perceived in parts, and not as a thoughtfully created totality. We propose a challenge: to consider the materiality of an ordinary book as an experimental field of art, to rethink the conception of the book in its totality and likewise under the material regime of sobriety, subtraction, and ecology.

  Women on stage: From the backstage to the to limelight

  Women in theatre until the 19th century

  Since its origin, the History of Theatre has been built by male names. However, it is unthinkable that women have not also had an important role in this construction. Besides existing as characters, their contributions as performers, playwrights, composers, entrepreneurs, patrons, scenographers or costume designers, among a broad range of other functions, were fundamental to the development of the theatrical practice. This conference aims to recover the place of women in theatre since its origin until the 19^th century, covering a wide variety of topics, which have women at their centre, either as the focus of a show or as marginal, as star or tertiary figure, as part of the audience or as producer of the cultural object. The conference aims to provide a comprehensive and transdisciplinary debate in order to rediscover the place of women in theatre in a global and historical approach.
