    Thinking, practicing and living plurilingualism

    Third edition

    Reflecting the broad themes of this third conference, the three interconnected and complementary verbs of the title reflect an expanded sphere of investigation into language didactics and the construction of plurilingual identities, mostly linked to institutionalized places of learning such as schools or universities but also to other fields and approaches, to other professions and profiles involved in the exercise of interculturality and in the planning or management of plurilingual spaces. This international conference will bring together contributions from specialists in language didactics, didactics of plurilingualism, and language policies, grouped into three main sections for the purposes of fruitful exchange.

    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”.

    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.

    Inertia: “plus ça change...”

    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.

    Mapping the Other

    In Western space, mapping the Other is not a prescriptive notion to assign ossified identities. Rather, it is about questioning the link between these intersectional identities of otherness and the specificities of the various Western spaces. In other words, it invites a reconsideration of how the Others autonomously define themselves in the dominant and marginal spaces of the “normative order” of hegemonic societies, and how they integrate them to make them theirs—therefore challenging the systems of oppression implemented.

    Politeness, impoliteness and interpersonal communication

    Revue Verbum et Lingua

    Verbum et Lingua invites submissions for its special 22nd issue on politeness, impoliteness and interpersonal communication. Papers may cover any aspect of these social practices and possible topics may include, but not exclusively, rapport management, mitigation, gossip and small talk.

    Imaginaires littéraires et culturels de la marge

    Recentrer les périphéries, déconstruire les hégémonies, penser la dissidence

    Ce colloque se propose d’interroger les représentations littéraires et artistiques qui tentent de renouveler l’approche des périphéries, mais aussi des centres, afin d’avancer une révision du canon et d’analyser la notion de « frontière » en général et sous ses déclinaisons diverses (celles du corps, de l’animal humain ou non-humain, de l’identité, de la culture, de l’espace…). À partir de corpus représentationnels et théoriques appartenant au champ élargi des arts et des sciences humaines, nous nous demanderons, au détour de cette rencontre d’envergure internationale, dans quelle mesure il est possible de repenser les relations situées au cœur des interactions entre centres et périphéries. Cela permettra d’établir de nouveaux repères d’intellection du monde et de ses représentations, saisies au sein de l’« infini culturel » de nos sociétés mondialisées et de la pluralité féconde de leurs « identités-rhizome ».

    Rhythm and Art

    Rhythm is a central element in the creation of meaning in art, and its configuration is such that it requires a multi, inter and transdisciplinary approach. The difference of materials, procedures and events masks the resemblance of rhythmic phenomena that are similar in different arts and hides their identity or their homology. In the work of some scholars, the concepts do not seem to belong to a particular artistic discipline, being rather characteristic of the rhythmic phenomenon. The objective of this conference is to provide an instance for exchanging knowledge, concerns and aspirations for those who have been devoting themselves to the study of rhythm and artistic creation on the subject.

    Cicatrices

    Association Almoreal

    Le colloque souhaite aborder la ou les cicatrice(s) en tant que marque d’une lacération, fruit d’une violence extrême et de conflits, qui témoigne d’un passé et d’un présent où ont été détruites et recomposées tout à la fois la géographie et la vie-même. L’historien y aura recours pour donner à voir les conséquences d’un événement violent ; l’artiste jouera de son ambivalence pour la représenter ou l’évoquer sur le mode analogique, imaginaire. Chaque interprétation est validée par un récit qui la sous-tend, visant l’inscription d’une douleur dans l’espace. Le colloque est ouvert à tous les hispanistes spécialistes de littérature, arts, cinéma, linguistique, histoire, civilisation, sciences sociales et humaines. Nous attirons cependant votre attention sur le fait que seront privilégiées les propositions mettant en avant les notions de trace et de récit, et non une perspective purement métaphorique.

    What Latin America says to Europe: circulations, imaginaries, viewpoints (and fantasies)

    We often tend to think of Latin America as a periphery of the global space. The very idea of globalization is frequently equated with that of cultural “Americanization”. Understood as a “United States of America-nization”, it is generally considered only as a circulation of ideas, models, knowledge, techniques or cultural objects from the North or the West to the South. However, working on Latin America frequently leads us to encounter traces of it or to identify its influence in Europe. Politics, culture or knowledge: the objective of this conference is to study some of the diverse forms of Latin American presence in Europe and/or in the European gaze. The works discussed here will take these circulations as an object, analyzing their processes, forms and impact. But they can also take a more reflexive form, by questioning the status of European-based researchers interested in Latin America.

    The legacy of the arts: ideas and representations

    The transmission of knowledge through tradition, orality and Academia

    The second edition of the conference on doctoral studies in art and musicology aims to focus on research on the transmission of knowledge through the arts as a means and source of knowledge in the art world. The images and musical documents that have been preserved from ancient times to the present day - throughout the world - have made it possible to understand aspects of the social, cultural and religious life of many civilizations and also to be the same reflection of these. In this way, Art and Music, as resources, have been one of the key elements to be able to understand a culture since it has been the mechanism through which humans have been able to capture and transmit ideas and knowledge.

    The Ethics of Gold

    Revue internationale des études du développement n°249 (2022-2)

    This call for papers falls broadly within the scope of ongoing debates around the relationship between development paths and gold mining activities, and around the social and political reconfigurations caused by these extractive activities. It aims to grasp the heuristic significance of gold in order to examine the processes of change, structuring, and destructuring at work at different scales of the gold production network and supply chain. It particularly welcomes studies grounded in empirics to primarily address the following issues: responsibility, (possible) sustainability, legitimation, and social justice.

    Cultural coordinates in present-day museology

    Five neologisms

    The International Conference Cultural Coordinates in present-day museology: Five neologisms is aimed at research that focuses on analysing the contemporary museological discourse and its effects on cultural communication. Numerous questions arise, for example, regarding curatorial practices, the new formulas of knowledge transmission, museology’s potential contributions to social cohesion, the mediation made possible by the new technologies and the critical contribution to be expected concerning issues such as gender demands, environmental sustainability and others. The sections are headed by the corresponding neologisms into which the themes that are the subject of debate and analysis are divided.

    New masses, old questions. New views on collective intelligence

    Revue « Essais »

    In a regressive approach, this thematic issue of the journal Essais envisages starting from the new configurations of the mass in the digital age to question in a fresh way the ambivalence constitutive of the historical reflection on the masses, at the same time fantasized for their intelligence and their potential of emancipation and depreciated for their incompetence and their passivity. This issue, in an interdisciplinary approach, aims to bring together specialists in new technologies, the practices and imaginaries they engender, with those interested in the theoretical, historical, fictional and figurative dimensions of this collective subject.
