An environmental history of work and labour
The Réseau universitaire de chercheurs et chercheuses en histoire environnementale (RUCHE, French-speaking network in environmental history, founded in 2009) and the Association française pour l’histoire des mondes du travail (AFHMT, French network for work and labour history, founded in 2013), organize this international joint conference, which aims to put this interdependence into historical perspective. Its ambition is, on the one hand, to contribute to a stronger dialogue between these two major historiographical fields (work/labour and the environment) and, on the other hand, to bring back on the agenda the long-standing but yet unachieved project of an environmental history of work.

Consultants seen through the lens of employment, market and production
More and more “international” and “national” consultants are involved in the production of public policy under “aid regime”. However, there is still little research on this broad and heterogeneous category of professionals. At the crossroads of the sociology of work, of professions and professional groups, the sociology of markets and the sociology of public action, this panel seeks to analyse how the marketing of development expertise is transforming the market for skilled labour, government services and the production of public action in aid societies.

Methodological approaches to gender and heteronormativity in sources
This seminar and its upcoming publication under different formats aim at questioning the role played by gender studies in the analysis of the sources used by researchers, while also interrogating the scientific methods used to comprehend the said sources (whether they be archival, legal, literary, iconographic or ethnographic sources). The goal of this seminar is to confront the different methodological approaches of gender that researchers may have in the sources they use, through the lens of heteronormativity.

Stage and Plate: Eating and Starving in European Drama and Theatres (16th-19th century)
Revue « European Drama and Performance Studies »
Évoquer la nourriture et son pendant, la faim, nécessite une approche plurielle pour comprendre le rôle, la consommation et l’envie de nourriture sur scène et hors scène, de la Renaissance à la Belle-Époque. Il s’agit d’examiner sa préparation et sa présence dans les théâtres, sa représentation et son idéalisation, les rituels et l’étiquette qui lui sont associés, et d’explorer des sujets interdépendants tels que les habitudes alimentaires, le poids et le corps. Comment la nourriture ou la faim sont-elles représentées sur scène ? Dans quelle mesure la nourriture reflète-t-elle les habitudes sociales et les activités de loisirs, met-elle en avant les plats à la mode ou les nouveaux produits sur le marché ? Comment les dramaturges et les acteurs utilisent-ils la nourriture ou son absence à travers des expressions verbales, des personnages ou des actions scéniques ?

The sacred, the spiritual and the religious in contemporary global societies
Nakan, a learned society, is organising an international online Study day on Thursday 14 December 2023 at the Université des Antilles, entitled Le sacré, le spirituel et le religieux dans les sociétés globales contemporaines (The sacred, the spiritual and the religious in contemporary global societies). The aim is to examine the relationship that the Western man has today with the notions of the sacred, the spiritual and the religious, and to reassess the scope of the terms in question, in the light of literature, art, philosophy, anthropology, the sciences, the arts and cultural practices, etc. What status do these concepts hold in collective representations and imaginations? What is their semantic and semiological significance? What is their relationship with the notions of syncretism and supersyncretism? All these questions deserve to be rethought and discussed at a time of major paradigm shifts in Western societies.

Sustainable transition of organizations and communities: challenges and perspectives
Transitioning towards sustainability concerns all organisations, private and public, large and small. For businesses, climate change represents a cost. The growing pressure on natural resources is likely to exacerbate supply difficulties, as is the case with the issue of access to water, which is threatening farming activities in the Mediterranean region, particularly in Morocco. The aim of this symposium is to launch a global debate on how to better understand sustainable transition, based on a participatory approach involving a range of stakeholders : businesses, local authorities, governments, institutions, associations, scientists and experts, right down to ordinary citizens. It is also an opportunity to look more closely at the challenges and prospects of sustainable transition in different sectors (transport, tourism, energy, agriculture, etc.).

Housing: Global Crisis, Seeking justice
The aim of this international conference orgnanised by the Collectif de recherche et d’action sur l’habitat (CRACH) is to think about the housing crisis in an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective, using a variety of case studies to share knowledge and strategies for mobilization and struggle. Addressed as much to academic circles as to activist groups, this call aims to contribute to a collective reflection on the housing crisis and the capitalist logics that fuel it, resulting in an unprecedented increase in evictions and housing costs.

Time and Justice, Timing Justice
Early modern and contemporary times, Europe and Americas
Recent sociological research has emphasised the centrality of time as a key issue in the legitimacy and functioning of the judicial establishment. However, little research has been conducted by historians regarding the connection between justice and time. The purpose of this conference is to provide a comprehensive overview of the relationship between justice and time over the course of several centuries, in order to contextualise the current acceleration of justice. The aim is to examine how justice shapes its temporalities and their connection to other social temporalities. This questioning takes as its framework Europe and the Americas in the modern and contemporary periods, in order to compare different spaces, contexts and legal cultures.

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
“Voces”. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words
Expressing and Performing Emotions
Medieval society is inextricably linked to the words that shaped the existence at that time, both spoken and written. It was through these words that the men and women of the Middle Ages shared their beliefs, ideas and experiences. Words were used to share knowledge and preach the Gospel, but also to stigmatise the Other, exclude heterodoxy or call for war. Mastering the meaning of words was one of the main ways of retaining power, appropriating wealth or controlling access to knowledge. This could lead to verbal jousting, or even real conflict. The conference "Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words" aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an important rolein the medieval culture. Every two years we propose to focus on a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions.

Vengeance: Mediterranean Perspectives
“Confluences Méditerranée” Journal
The theme of revenge, despite its spectacular and fascinating echoes, as well as its omnipresence throughout history, literature and the socio-political and economic trajectory of the entire Mediterranean region, has often only been the subject of fragmented and relatively scattered studies. In the collective unconscious, this lack of interest no doubt reflects a form of resistance to tackling a subject that is synonymous with the darkest and most negative facets of humanity. This issue of Confluences Méditerranée aims to explore this key and under-researched issue, drawing on a wide range of multidisciplinary contributions.

Housing, property and citizenship (18th-21th centuries)
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.

Crime and Society: historical dynamics in contemporary times
Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal, issue 22
Crime, its practice and its repression arouse great attention and curiosity in our days. Reported and investigated by the media, literature or cinema, among others, crime is currently a constant presence in our daily life. In the field of History, particularly in Social History, crime has established itself as a relevant topic of study, especially since the second half of the 20th century and, since then, several lines of research have been pursued and explored. This issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal is looking for contributions that reflect on Crime and Society in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Development archives: production, use and politicization
Revue internationale des études du développement n°256 (2024-3)
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”.
