Social polarisation across the world
This first issue of Inequalities is dedicated to the fundamental and primary form of inequality, class inequality, with a focus on the sharpening of social polarisation within the various countries of the world. We accept contributions with a theoretical, analytical, and empirical slant that focus on the causes, forms, and consequences of social polarisation, on the specific aspects and internal dynamics of its intensification, and on the conflicts and social struggles that arise from it.

Armenian Diaspora(s) in Motion: Places, Stakeholders and Practices in the 21st Century
Since diaspora studies emerged in the 1980s, the Armenian dispersion has played a prominent role in the scholarly literature seeking to understand and classify the nature, forms, and effects of diasporas as social formations. However, 40 years after the rise of diaspora studies, one has to admit that far from offering a stable paradigm, the Armenian diaspora (an expression that should be used in the plural) has undergone numerous transformations. The objective of this 2-day conference will be to reflect on these contemporary reshapings of the Armenian diaspora(s), revealing their diversity and the new dynamics at work.

Microformes de l’organique dans la littérature, l’art et le cinéma de l’époque moderne à nos jours
L’objectif du colloque, en tant que lieu de rencontre d’approches théoriques et pratiques, est de retracer la naissance et l’évolution des représentations corporelles contemporaines à l’échelle du microscopique, et d’interroger les microformes de l’organique dans une perspective interdisciplinaire et spécifique aux médias. Dans la déconstruction du corps en tant que totalité, ses composantes visibles et invisibles, internes et externes, matérielles et immatérielles, sont explorées, spécifique à la forme médiale, en tant qu’espaces de signification. D’autre part, l’intégration ciblée de contributions artistiques, non seulement dans le sens d’un travail artistique autonome, mais aussi en tant que recherche artistique, permet aux participants de faire l’expérience sensorielle du corps en tant que matérialité.

En femenino. Arte y mujeres en la Edad Media
XVI Jornadas Complutenses de Arte Medieval
In its sixteenth edition, the Conference will be devoted to highlighting the role of Women in medieval artistic creation. This role will be understood in the broadest possible way: from patronage to creation and reception, as a channel for power strategies, a transmitter of science or a generator of specific iconographic types, regardless of their active or passive role in all this creative dynamic. Women and Gender will serve as the priority vectors to articulate the scientific content of Conference sessions.

The musicians’ activity - work, training and health
“Laboreal” Journal
The characteristics of the activities that fall under the economic sector of music show a huge variety of places, schedules and work conditions, in addition to the informality of work contracts for a vast majority of musicians. Obviously, these factors interfere with the activity of preparation for music performance, with study habits, and most likely with public performance. In spite of that, the attention given to research and intervention regarding this category of workers is clearly scarce and there is not enough research to investigate the various aspects linked to performing music activities -- training, teaching and study practices, professional performance. Laboreal makes room for papers interested in the musicians’ activity, and invites researchers involved in these issues to contribute to the publication of this number.

A Time after a Setback: Persistent Reverberations of the Carnation Revolution
Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal Nº 21
At a time when there will be multiple proposals for perspectives on the fiftieth anniversary of April 25, 1974, a revolution marked by a euphoria that surpassed the day before and that surprised the day after, in an unlocking of the future, we suggest a look at the threshold of several disciplines in this cross-sectional issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal, between the social and human sciences, the arts, literature and other forms of intervention in reality, through four areas.

From regulation to the production of invisibilities, from the archive to the Internet: an interdisciplinary approach
We invite all parties interested in the theme of censorship to participate in the conference across any of the four axes detailed below. Nevertheless, there is an openness to other proposals that set out new paths and, hence, the framework below is in no way exhaustive: Analytical models and methodologies; Framework for the factor of international circulation; Meta-analysis; Implications of censorship.

Reading reuse. Image recycling in Egypt and beyond
The Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Cairo) is organizing a workshop on the concept of reuse of decorated artifacts (entire monuments or wall reliefs, pieces of furniture, statues, figurines, painted or incised pots, items of personal or mobiliary adornment, etc.) in archaeological or architectural settings. It is in the academic interest to bring together scholars from various areas and periods, through a comparative approach, which is not limited to the study of past societies but also benefits from the insights of cultural anthropology.

Violent Turns: Sources, Interpretations, Responses
The aim of this international conference is to provide researchers with an interdisciplinary platform to investigate and debate the question of contemporary irruptions of political violence and to inquire into the different responses intended to counteract violence. When and why do individuals, groups, and societies come to believe that peaceful means and legal avenues of redress, including non-violent civil disobedience, are insufficient or improper to achieve a social or political goal and to view violent action as morally legitimate and necessary for change? Can one identify trends shaping recourse to violence by parts of the populace? What role does state violence play in the dialectic? When, if ever, is political violence legitimate? How can violence be averted?

Study days - Epistemology and methodology
Regards critiques sur le développement
Les journées doctorales « Regards critiques sur le développement » visent à promouvoir les synergies entre les jeunes chercheur·euse·s (jeunes docteur·e·s, doctorant·e·s et masterant·e·s) en sciences sociales contribuant à la recherche critique sur le développement, à l’étude des politiques et des institutions qui prétendent l’incarner et le mettre en pratique, ainsi que leurs fondements idéologiques, dans les Nords comme dans les Suds. Ces deux journées seront par ailleurs l’occasion d’ouvrir la discussion et de favoriser les échanges entre membres de diverses unités présentes sur le site Condorcet. De cette manière, les journées doctorales seront de riches moments didactiques pour les jeunes chercheur·euse·s, quel que soit l’état d’avancement de leurs travaux.

The transition to the Immersive Didactics
From educational solutions during the confinement of Covid-19 to the teaching in the metaverse
Didactics, like any other fields of science, has embarked on a process of transformation that has been the product of the fourth industrial revolution. 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.

New Perspectives on Researching the Military
Often called out for its lack of inclusion and diversity, it is not only the military institution that needs to change, but also the way it is studied. Now more than ever, marginalized voices and perspectives need to be seen and heard as they can provide insights into key challenges the military institution currently faces. This two-day event – which will encompass a conference and a workshop – aims to bring together members from the defence community to exchange ideas and bring new perspectives on the future of research on the military.
