Les terrains israélo-palestiniens : enjeux méthodologiques, épistémologiques et politiques
Cette journée d’étude s’inscrit dans la continuité d’un courant de réflexion s’intéressant aux défis du terrain au Proche et au Moyen-Orient, et a pour objectif de se consacrer particulièrement aux espaces israélo-palestiniens comme terrains de recherche. Soumis à des dominations impériales, mandataires et coloniales et traversé par de concurrentes revendications nationalistes, ce territoire est, depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, le théâtre d’une colonisation qui modifie régulièrement l’espace et l’organisation sociale. Quelles sont les problématiques auxquelles doivent faire face les chercheur·es travaillant sur les terrains israélo-palestiniens ? Quels sont les effets et les apports de ces difficultés sur le façonnement de l’objet d’étude, mais aussi sur le positionnement et la représentation du ou de la chercheur·e ?

This workshop seeks to explore how different methodological approaches to international and transnational organisations can bring new histories into view. Rather than approaching international and transnational organisations from a strictly institutional point of view, we, instead, wonder how these organisations and their archives can become the basis for telling other, local, regional or international, stories that shift the focus to the broader context in which these organisations operated. By going beyond the institutional histories the workshop probes to re-evaluate the historiographical position of these organisations, while maintaining a clear view of the historian’s placement, challenges and limits.

Initiation in the XML-TEI Coding of Patrimonial Texts
Trainee
La TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) est une initiative universitaire pluridisciplinaire visant à uniformiser autant que possible le codage de documents en vue de leur échange, mais aussi de leur analyse. L’équipe « Bibliothèques virtuelles humanistes » du Centre d’études supérieures de la Renaissance organise une nouvelle session de la formation d’« initiation à l’encodage XML-TEI des documents patrimoniaux (imprimés et manuscrits) ».

Source, poison ou accident : comprendre le document dans les sciences historiques
« Il faut toujours citer ses sources » : cette injonction résonne pour tout étudiant comme une maxime l’invitant à se référer toujours à l’autorité lui permettant d’affirmer un fait ou une idée. Souvent associée au document textuel, la source est un concept particulièrement prégnant dans les sciences historiques et considérée comme le moyen d’accès par excellence à la connaissance du passé. Pourtant, l’autorité des sources ne peut être construite que par l’élimination de ce qui est jugé invalide. En cohérence avec les travaux du Centre Jean Mabillon (EA 3624) menés dans la tradition initiée par les bénédictins de Saint-Maur et représentée entre autres par l’École nationale des chartes, l’objectif de notre journée d’étude est d’aborder les sources comme objet à part entière et d’étudier leur appropriation pour la recherche dans les sciences historiques.

Visegrad Scholarship at the Open Society Archives
We invite historians, researchers, political scientists, sociologists, and socially engaged artists to reflect on the Lessons from the Cold War by taking cues from the Blinken Open Society Archives (OSA) collections. The applicants are encouraged to reflect on the connections as well as on the differences between current times and the past by following some recommended sub-topics. The current call is part of a reflexive-research program at OSA interested in connecting past issues related to oppressive regimes, censorship, violence and information manipulation to current phenomena. We would like to assess the potential of a genealogical project linking the contemporary epistemic and political crisis of democracy to past modes of inquiry and activism.

A Special Issue of “Práticas da História”
Political and social revolutions are events frequently studied by the discipline of History. However, contributions by historians to the study of the posthumous lives of these events are rarer. This call aims to elicit proposals for articles and essays that focus on the memorialistic trajectories of revolutions. Case studies, historical comparisons, or theory-based approaches may be proposed. The journal Práticas da História also encourages the submission of proposals for articles and essays that focus on how political discourse, commemorative politics, and historical staging have dealt and are dealing with past revolutions, as well as the discussion of issues such as the mobilization of examples, icons, or concepts of past revolutions by revolutionary action. The problem of the inscription (or not) of revolutions in the organics of the regimes that succeed them or, finally, the identification of the beginning/end of a revolution, may also be addressed.

Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words
Expressing and Performing Emotions
The conference cycle “Voces. Latin Middle Ages through Key Words” aims to take a closer look at Latin words that have played an important role in the medieval culture. Every two year we propose to focus on a different major medieval concept and its linguistic expressions. This year’s edition will focus on Expressing and Performing Emotions.

Call for papers - Representation
The aim of this Study day is to examine the dynamics, interactions and tensions between the polysemic notions of margin and mainstream in post-1945 English-speaking areas. More specifically, we will examine the modalities and dynamics of exchange and movement from one category to the other, as well as the way in which they take on their meaning in varied and variable political, media, sociological and cultural contexts. Proposals may thus highlight thematic issues in relation to the phenomena studied, such as marginalised or militant histories, critical or methodological thoughts about mediation mechanisms, conceptualisation issues or personal and collective positioning.

Reimagining Annotation for Multimodal Cultural Heritage
Reimagining Annotation for Multimodal Cultural Heritage is an international conference that will be held in Rennes, France from 7th-9th February 2024. The conference looks to explore questions around digital annotation in the humanities and the GLAM sector (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) across three primary axes: tools, methods and projects. We seek to discover the extent of digital tools for the navigation of multimodal document networks, the creation of data-driven interfaces and the implementation of close and / or distant reading techniques; the epistemological questions that these tools allow to emerge and how research in the humanities is changing; and projects that make use of these tools.

La valeur des vivants dans l’Occident médiéval (Ve-XVe siècle)
In the framework of a study day, we propose to reflect on the values accorded to living beings (humans and animals) in the medieval West from the 5th to the 15th century. They are characterised by their market, utilitarian and symbolic value. In addition to this, there are the considerations and knowledge that medieval people had of their fellow human beings and their environment (fauna and trees). Finally, the event proposes to look at these questions in the context of reflections on medievalism. As the issues are diverse, we are making the whole range of humanities and social sciences disciplines.

The Armenian Genocide: New Interpretations and Cross-Disciplinary Conversations
The study of the Armenian genocide often remains confined to restricted circles of specialists and interdisciplinarity is too rarely promoted. And, although comparative research is praised, it is frequently reduced to the juxtaposition of case studies. Research on the Armenian genocide is now ready to address more cross-cutting issues and to fully contribute to broader discussions on mass violence. Therefore, this conference asks: how can the social sciences, memory studies, and genocide studies contribute to a broader understanding of the Armenian genocide and its aftermath? And reciprocally: what is the contribution of research on the Armenian genocide to our understanding of mass crimes and to the social sciences?

Symbioses, transdisciplinary prospects
The study of the interdisciplinary notion of symbiosis has become a subject of reflection on biological identity, its becoming within the symbiotic relationship with an associated environment (biotic, abiotic, social) and on the nature and diversity of symbiotic relationships. Using transdisciplinarity as a method, the idea is therefore to reflect, across different disciplines, on the definitions of symbioses in living organisms and their heuristic, symbolic and even metaphorical dimensions and on the nature and temporality of symbiotic relationships between living organisms, including with our germs.

Giving research feedback to children: beyond ready-made recipes and asymmetric relationships
Bringing together social scientists who do fieldwork with children or young people and wish to renew the methodology and the sense of their feedback of research results, we aim at working in a collaborative and innovative way by cross-cutting fields and disciplines. Methodological publications usually include ready-made tools. While they make it possible to avoid the worst, they often do not consider the overall social and cultural context in which children live; they may also be adults-centered and based on stereotypical representations of childhood. During a day and a half, participants will exchange in order to help each other to elaborate a visual or performance-based feedback of their research grounded in the daily life of children and youth, their communication codes and potential expectations.

Global Series: TV and the Political Imagination
This collective volume seeks to explore the vast potential of TV series and their role in shaping our moral and political perspectives on the world. Global Series: TV and the Political Imagination is part of the ERC Demoseries project, hosted by Université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, and responds to Sandra Laugier’s call for taking TV series seriously as “a new form of education…[that is] both political and moral” (Laugier 2022). TV series have the capacity to reflect complex social and political realities and can serve as shared representations of moral reasoning and values, prompting viewers to engage in ethical reflection and philosophical inquiry. By examining a diverse range of TV series from across the globe, the volume aims to highlight their power to act as common reference points in shaping public discourse and conversation.

« Perspective » n° 2024-2
The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2024 – 2 issue, the thematic “extreme bodies”. Our aim is to shed light on the ways images participate in the creation of the body, the spread of a standard and the constraints applied to that body in order to achieve the standard, but also the ways images sometimes serve to subvert them. It is thus in terms of the standardised body, considered more as a model or goal to be attained than as the aurea mediocritas (Horace, Odes, II, X, 5), the incarnation of the middle ground remote from excesses, that we would like to address questions related to extreme bodies.

Travail des algorithmes. Sociologie des délégations techniques
Revue « Socio »
Les algorithmes sont désormais omniprésents dans les pratiques humaines les plus diverses, impliquant des programmes (informatiques le plus souvent, mais pas exclusivement) d’instructions déléguées à des entités artificielles. Pourtant la question de ce que les algorithmes font au travail est plus rarement appréhendée de manière directe. Sans s’y réduire, le dossier privilégiera trois axes complémentaires d’analyse : d’abord, les conséquences des algorithmes sur le travail ; ensuite, les conséquences de la délégation technique dans l’organisation des activités salariées (hiérarchie, modes de contrôle du travail, décision, etc.) ; enfin, les modalités politiques de la place croissante des algorithmes dans le travail.

The memorization of space, explored individually or collectively, is often studied through drawings. The act of drawing is an externalization process that involves cognitive and heuristic aspects of the mental map. More generally, it requires specific thinking skills and creativity. Everyone, to varying degrees, is likely to use drawings, not only for the purpose of recollection, but also for exploration and communication. Spatial cognition and geography have long used this simple process which is widely shared and easy to set up. If individual memorization processes are investigated in numerous studies, only few of them focused on the processes and strategies that underlie the act of drawing, especially with several people.
