The Armenian Genocide: New Interpretations and Cross-Disciplinary Conversations
The study of the Armenian genocide often remains confined to restricted circles of specialists and interdisciplinarity is too rarely promoted. And, although comparative research is praised, it is frequently reduced to the juxtaposition of case studies. Research on the Armenian genocide is now ready to address more cross-cutting issues and to fully contribute to broader discussions on mass violence. Therefore, this conference asks: how can the social sciences, memory studies, and genocide studies contribute to a broader understanding of the Armenian genocide and its aftermath? And reciprocally: what is the contribution of research on the Armenian genocide to our understanding of mass crimes and to the social sciences?

This conference will tackle the different facets of the concept of inertia through a transversal and pluridisciplinary approach. A cross-geographical and cross-cultural approach is encouraged. In a society that values change and innovation, inertia is still very present. Political and legal institutions either have to face it or use it actively and strategically. Social movements understand that well as they are using inertia to promote their demands. Inertia can also be a manifestation of a desire of stability, of deliberately not acting in an attempt to stop time. Museums might be an example of that; cultural spaces need to face these contradictions. A rhetoric of inertia can then develop, on a political, legal, social or cultural level. This discourse can be contested or used to promote change or permanence, in a a state of constant and dynamic tension.

Making Ecocinema. Ecological Politics and Processes of Experimental Cinema
The hypothesis of this two-day conference is to investigate the fabrication of experimental film from the perspective of an “active ecology”, the ways of acting and transforming the world that accompany experimental filmmakers’ creative gestures : political and social ecologies, ecologies of technique, and processual ecology. The question could therefore be summarized in dialectical form : in what way does the awakening of an ecological consciousness affect and transform the experiences and processes of experimental film making ? In turn, in what way do experimental and artisanal approaches to cinematic creation reshape our relationship with the living and call for a new ecological consciousness ? Ecopolitics and creative processes will therefore be explored in their multiple interweavings.

Symbioses, transdisciplinary prospects
The study of the interdisciplinary notion of symbiosis has become a subject of reflection on biological identity, its becoming within the symbiotic relationship with an associated environment (biotic, abiotic, social) and on the nature and diversity of symbiotic relationships. Using transdisciplinarity as a method, the idea is therefore to reflect, across different disciplines, on the definitions of symbioses in living organisms and their heuristic, symbolic and even metaphorical dimensions and on the nature and temporality of symbiotic relationships between living organisms, including with our germs.

Global Series: TV and the Political Imagination
This collective volume seeks to explore the vast potential of TV series and their role in shaping our moral and political perspectives on the world. Global Series: TV and the Political Imagination is part of the ERC Demoseries project, hosted by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and responds to Sandra Laugier’s call for taking TV series seriously as “a new form of education…[that is] both political and moral” (Laugier 2022). TV series have the capacity to reflect complex social and political realities and can serve as shared representations of moral reasoning and values, prompting viewers to engage in ethical reflection and philosophical inquiry. By examining a diverse range of TV series from across the globe, the volume aims to highlight their power to act as common reference points in shaping public discourse and conversation.

Communist Perspectives on Atheism in the 20th Century
In recent years, scholars in historical and secular studies have become increasingly interested in communist attitudes towards religion, communist regimes’ efforts to uproot religion, and interactions between Marxists and Christians. Sponsored by the Explaining Atheism programme, this conference will explore transnational communist perspectives on atheism in the twentieth century and Marxist-inspired attempts to explain and influence the evolution of atheism. Building on work on “scientific atheism”, “atheist establishments” and “thought collectives”, the conference explores differences and commonalities within the Soviet bloc – within which scholarly debates on atheism took place in what might be called a limited international scientific community.

Bildung. The Untimely Actuality of a Modern Idea
Dans le cadre du projet ERC Consolidator Grant BildungLearning (n° 101043433), le colloque intitulé « Bildung. L’actualité intempestive d’une idée moderne » se consacrera à un double travail de reconstruction historico-systématique de la philosophie moderne de la Bildung et de mise à l’épreuve de sa pertinence actuelle, grâce à la participation de spécialistes de la philosophie classique allemande qui chercheront à mettre en évidence non seulement la fonction systématique du concept de Bildung, mais aussi sa réception critique, sa postérité indirecte et ses ressources encore inexploitées pour la pensée contemporaine.

The memorization of space, explored individually or collectively, is often studied through drawings. The act of drawing is an externalization process that involves cognitive and heuristic aspects of the mental map. More generally, it requires specific thinking skills and creativity. Everyone, to varying degrees, is likely to use drawings, not only for the purpose of recollection, but also for exploration and communication. Spatial cognition and geography have long used this simple process which is widely shared and easy to set up. If individual memorization processes are investigated in numerous studies, only few of them focused on the processes and strategies that underlie the act of drawing, especially with several people.

« Heureux ceux qui croient sans avoir vu »
Pouvoirs et limites, les paradoxes du sensible dans l’appréhension chrétienne du divin entre les XVe et XVIIe siècle
Dans une approche aussi bien multimédiale qu’interdisciplinaire, l’objectif de ces journées est de réfléchir ensemble aux diverses solutions (philosophiques, matérielles, juridiques, théologiques, dévotionnelle etc…) mises en place par la chrétienté moderne pour résoudre un paradoxe millénaire : comment réconcilier la nature de la perception humaine, avant tout sensorielle, avec celle de l’objet qu’elle tente de percevoir et dont la nature divine est justement infinie, inatteignable et insaisissable

Danse et queer : du cabaret à la discothèque
Rôles et influences des scènes non institutionnelles sur les esthétiques chorégraphiques queer contemporaines
Cette manifestation sera consacrée aux relations entre danse et queer, plus spécifiquement à la manière dont les scènes chorégraphiques contemporaines s’inspirent des scènes non institutionnelles pour mettre en oeuvre une esthétique queer. À cette occasion, nous nous demanderons quels transferts esthétiques et politiques se jouent dans le passage d’une scène à l’autre.

Lectures contemporaines de « L’origine de la géométrie » de Husserl
Ce colloque vise à interroger l’apport de L’origine de la géométrie de Husserl à la phénoménologie française contemporaine, en touchant plusieurs axes thématiques qui traversent le texte : la théorie de la connaissance, les fondements des sciences, la question de l’intersubjectivité, les problèmes de l’histoire, la philosophie de la technique. D’une part, cela permet de mieux comprendre les différents développements actuels de la phénoménologie à la lumière de cet ouvrage husserlien ; d’autre part, la présence de ce texte dans la pensée contemporaine nous permet de le considérer comme un élément d’appui pour dégager un cadre unitaire de la phénoménologie d’aujourd’hui autour de certains thèmes communs déjà esquissés chez Husserl.

Natural Rights and Politics in the Early Modern Period
Despite the ubiquity of the idea of human rights in our political culture, and its strong presence in the work of political scientists, jurists and contemporary historians, scholarly interest in natural rights — the tradition from which human rights are drawn — remains sporadic and fragmentary. This interdisciplinary workshop aims to deepen and broaden our understanding of the political uses and development of natural rights in the Early Modern Period, in Europe, the Atlantic world and beyond. By interrogating the relationship between natural rights and politics, this will be an occasion not only to analyze natural rights as a theoretical concept, but also and above all to study the different uses of concepts drawn from natural rights in precise political contexts, the political projects they served, their relationship with republicanism, and the emergence and evolution of particular rights.

Spectres filmiques de notre temps
Les travaux ne manquent pas sur les affinités entre le cinéma et les fantômes. L’invention des premiers dispositifs cinématographiques découle d’une tentative pour communiquer avec l’au-delà, intervenant elle-même au terme d’un siècle féru d’occultisme. Mais qu’en est-il de l’époque contemporaine ? Qui sont les spectres filmiques de notre temps ? Comment approcher leur vécu par l’intermédiaire du cinéma ? Voici les questions auxquelles nous aimerions tenter de répondre, collectivement, à l’occasion de ce colloque.
