Europhilosophy master winter course
L’amicale des étudiant·e·s et le consortium du master Europhilosophie ont le plaisir de vous convier à leur désormais traditionnel stage d’hiver, qui se déroulera cette année à l’Universidade de Coimbra, du 19 au 21 février 2020. Les organisateur·trice·s ont fait le choix d’un programme éclectique, faisant la part belle à des approches innovantes et à des questions encore trop peu souvent abordées au sein de l’institution académique européenne. Un programme qui s’inscrit donc dans la droite ligne du master Europhilosophie, tant vis-à-vis de ses pratiques que de ses enseignements. C’est dans ce cadre que le présent call for papers est lancé. Il est ouvert pour cinq séminaires qui composent le programme de ce stage.

Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2019
The 2019 session of the Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies will be devoted to the question what happens to concepts derived from cultural techniques – like writing, erasure, image, number, not to mention the concept of culture itself – when implemented by algorithmic routines that run on computers or mobile media and thus effectively become digitized cultural technologies.The 2019 Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies will attempt to map out approaches to media as networks of cultural technologies. We invite applications from outstanding doctoral students throughout the world in media studies and related fields such as film studies, literary studies, philosophy, art history, architecture, sociology, politics, the history of science and visual culture.

10th Summer School of the réseau international d'écoles doctorales en sociologie et sciences sociales (RéDoc) / Association internationale des sociologues de langue française (AISLF)
La multiplicité de langues et de langages en sciences sociales soulève de nombreuses questions auxquelles les chercheur/ses sont confronté·e·s dans leur pratique. A l’image de la Suisse, les sciences sociales (et la sociologie en particulier) parviennent-elles à « faire communauté » malgré des langues et des langages pluriels ? Ou bien sommes-nous confrontés à une tour de Babel où des réseaux isolés dans des sous-champs bien particuliers parlent leur propre langue, sans qu’un savoir commun puisse émerger de cette cacophonie ? Quant aux jeunes chercheurs·e·s, ils et elles sont confrontés à des difficultés de stratégies langagières et linguistiques. Ont-ils/elles intérêt à miser sur une seule langue et à se spécialiser dans un langage théorique et/ou méthodologique particulier ? Ou bien doivent-ils/elles chercher la polyvalence, y compris au plan linguistique, afin de poursuivre les opportunités professionnelles et scientifiques là où elles se présentent ?

Autumn schoo at the Centre d'études franco-russe de Moscou (CEFR)
Inscrit dans le cadre de l’année franco-russe des langues et des littératures, cet appel à communication pour une école d’automne en sciences sociales organisée par le Centre d'études franco-russe de Moscou (CEFR) propose d’utiliser la traduction comme point d’entrée d’une réflexion sur les sources, méthodes et théories en sciences sociales. L'ambition de cette école est d’aborder la question de la traduction d’un point de vue non exclusivement linguistique et littéraire. En rassemblant des chercheurs en sciences sociales et des traducteurs, l’enjeu sera d’engager une réflexion et un dialogue sur la traduction comprise tant comme un objet de recherche que comme une pratique.

Tools and Methods for the History of Churches between East and West (5th-19th century)
This doctoral workshop will make it possible to relate compartmentalized historiographies even though they share a central and strong object, the Church, which is often treated only as a backdrop to history. The participants who will take part in this school will have the opportunity to see combined diverse and complementary approaches: social, normative, liturgical, political, orientalist. The participants will have access to the methods, the problematization and the last achievements of these different interdisciplinary approaches in the long term.

Scaling. What happens when we scale things up or down?
Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018
The 2018 session will be devoted to the investigation of scale and scaling as operative concepts for the analysis of media. What happens when we scale? Does anything really change? Can scaling ever impact the inner blueprint of an object? Are there laws of scaling? Or does scaling resist any attempt at calculability, such that, to investigate it, we can only ever look at individual events of scaling? As a media practice, scaling is widely used. But, in contrast to the ubiquity of operations, scaling is hardly ever viewed on its own terms as a basic concept of media analysis. The Princeton-Weimar Summer School for Media Studies 2018 will attempt to map out approaches to scaling as a basic media-analytical tool.

Memory and the making of knowledge in the Early Modern world
While memory is an established sub-field within these disciplines, its themes and sources have led to an over-representation of the ancient and modern worlds, meaning that the early modern era has been comparatively neglected. The School seeks not merely to redress this imbalance, but also to explore how studies of memory and early modernity might shape one another in the future. Participants in the Summer School, which will take place between 18 and 22 September 2017, will have the opportunity to discuss the most recent research presented by leading scholars in the field, to learn or refine skills in workshops that focus on the media and techniques of memory, and to present their own work to a uniquely qualified and supportive international peer group.

Summer School - Science studies
In the face of the current ecological crisis, how shall we rethink concepts and practices of environment, ecology, difference, and technology to envision and create a more just, sustainable, and diverse planet? The combined histories of colonialism, extraction industries, energy, as well as innovation in design, architecture, literature and technology offer a lens by which to examine how contemporary techno-scientific societies envision planetary futures. Site visits exploring resource extraction, colonialism in urban policy and planning, and speculative architectural design will be accompanied by an analysis of science fiction, science technology, speculative design and ethnography, as well as life and earth sciences.

Curator practices and the construction of the history of art in the Muslim world
En tant que phénomène global, les pratiques curatoriales contemporaines constituent une étude de cas stimulante dans l'histoire de l'art et la création artistique. Après Unedited History.
