Historical geography and geoarchaeology
Avez-vous pensé à traduire Homère ou Virgile non pas en alexandrins mais en hologrammes peuplant un espace 3D que toutes les sciences de l’Antiquité permettraient de reconstituer ? En visitant un chantier de fouilles ou un musée, avez-vous ressenti la frustration de ne pas pouvoir imaginer la vie des gens dont on conserve les traces ? Amateur de films ou jeux vidéo, vous êtes-vous demandés comment recréer l’île d’Éole ? Philologues, historiens, archéologues, géographes ou paléontologues, nous avons besoin les uns des autres pour comprendre les sites et les peuples antiques. Pour apprendre et construire ensemble cette méthodologie interdisciplinaire, nous discuterons avec nos intervenants des textes et cartes, des recherches de terrain en archéologie et géosciences (géologie, géographie et géomorphologie, géophysique, géochimie, paléobotanique et paléozoologie), des projets cartographiques (SIG, 3D/4D, études de visibilité, reconstitution diachronique des sites, mise en valeur de l’impact anthropique par rapport à l’évolution naturelle).

Mystical, spiritual, ascetic and monastic kindergartens
Explorations at the intersection of religions and kindergarten care
Ce colloque propose d’explorer un point particulier de l'intersection entre le religieux et le maternel. À travers les figures de femmes mystiques, saintes, enseignantes spirituelles, sages-femmes, activistes, guerrières, martyres, ou ayant d’autres formes d’engagement dans une vie religieuse hors du commun ou, au contraire, tout à fait ordinaire, nous vous invitons à découvrir ce que disent des traditions religieuses de cette intersection rarement examinée. Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire, avec des approches littéraires, historiques, anthropologiques, sociologiques ou théologiques, nous posons la question de la maternité en examinant des récits sacrés et hagiographiques ainsi que d’autres témoignages historiques et contemporains.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology
Borders, temporalities and materialities through the prism of health
Depuis trois ans, ce séminaire fait le choix de promouvoir des explorations du champ de la santé qui privilégient des regards mobilisant les notions transversales de frontières, de temporalités et de matérialités. À la lumière des actualités sanitaires qui marquent l’année 2020, les thématiques au cœur de ce séminaire pourraient bien se révéler encore plus riches et pertinentes. La crise du coronavirus agit en effet comme un puissant révélateur du caractère éminemment social et politique de la santé. Plus que jamais auparavant, les enjeux sanitaires font débat à une très large échelle : mesures de prévention, efficacité des traitements, conflits d’intérêts et méthode scientifique… Dans ce contexte inédit, les analyses des sciences sociales de la santé sont indispensables, à la fois pour saisir la pandémie de Covid-19 en cours – qui fait l’objet de la séance inaugurale – mais aussi plus largement en proposant des perspectives décentrées (socialement, historiquement ou géographiquement) de l’actualité immédiate.

Public History - PhD positions
The PhD students will join the Public History as the New Citizen Science of the Past (PHACS) project hosted at the Luxembourg Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) and will work under the direct supervision of Prof. Dr Thomas Cauvin. Focusing on the production of history with a public perspective, public history has developed as one of the most dynamic international fields of the historical discipline. In collaboration with cultural institutions and universities all over Europe, PHACS studies, researches, but also develops, constructs and evaluates the impact of public participation, coproduction, and shared authority for history-making. Connecting digital participatory practices issued from citizen sciences and crowdsourcing to history-making, PHACS is contributing to reshaping public history methodology.

Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents
The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 5: Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. This year, it focuses on the human agents in the process of naming the divine, whether they are producers of a discourse on the deities, addressers in a communication with the deities, or even experts in charge of a ritual knowledge. What agency do men and women exercise in the production of a specific denomination of the divine? How can we question their choices, their anchoring in a tradition or their innovation strategies?
