    Les défis de la formation des enseignants et de leur insertion professionnelle : approches comparatives

    International Citizen Forum for Education

    La quatrième édition du Forum citoyen international de l’éducation s’intéresse particulièrement à l’un des acteurs clés des systèmes éducatifs, l’enseignant. Étant donné le rôle complexe des enseignants et les répercussions majeures de leur travail sur l’avenir de la société, une formation adéquate est indispensable. Il paraît judicieux et nécessaire de réfléchir aux défis de la formation initiale et continue dans le but d’assurer aux apprenants une éducation qui tient compte de la diversité et des inégalités ainsi que des avancées numériques. Le forum s’attarde aussi sur les pratiques enseignantes, l’insertion professionnelle et les conditions d’exercice du travail enseignant, de même que sur les enjeux de gouvernance et leurs impacts sur la réussite éducative.

    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 ?

    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.

    “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.

    Living through the Revolution

    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.

    Digital Methods and Fields

    Feminist Perspectives

    L’ambition de ce numéro thématique est d’interroger la façon dont le numérique, à la fois instrument, méthode, terrain et objet de recherche, renouvelle non seulement les méthodes et méthodologies des sciences sociales mais également ébranle le « système » du genre partant de l’idée que la science et les techniques qui la sous-tendent ne sont pas « pures ». Le calcul qui préside n’est pas neutre et les quantités de données massives collectées ne sauraient être gage d’objectivité. L’objectif de ce dossier consiste à se demander si la recherche féministe peut enrichir les méthodes numériques, favoriser des démarches plus inclusives, échapper aux biais de genre auxquelles s’exposent les méthodologies classiques, se soustraire à la binarité des dispositifs techniques et d’enquête, faire de l’identification de ces biais une source de réflexivité, rendre visible les paroles issues de minorités de genre et sexuelles dans le traitement des données.

    Mobility and Interactions in the Meuse-Rhine Region (9th-15th cent.)

    Throughout the Middle Ages, from the kingdom of Lothar II to the creation of the first modern state boundaries, the region of the Rhine and Meuse lay at the crossroads between two big linguistic and cultural areas. Political tensions, artistic currents and waves of spiritual renewal continually crossed this vast territory, stretching from Utrecht to Basel and from Cambrai to Cologne and Strasbourg. After a first conference organized in April 2022 at the University of Trier, this second multidisciplinary encounter aims to bring together PhD students and post-doctoral researchers working on mobility and interactions in this region.

    The Allied Withdrawal from Berlin

    Conditions – Process – Consequences

    En 2024 on commémorera le trentième anniversaire du départ des « Alliés » de Berlin. 49 ans durant leur présence aura marqué la ville dans son histoire, sa structure urbaine et tous les secteurs d’activité. La ville a été le lieu d’échanges multidirectionnels entre les diverses « communautés » alliées et berlinoises. La chute du Mur marque le début de la sortie de la Guerre froide en Europe. Après un bilan sur la présence des quatre occupants / alliés à Berlin, ce colloque analysera les conditions et la mise en œuvre du départ des militaires alliés ainsi que ses répercussions sur la ville de Berlin dans des perspectives multiples : qu’il s’agisse de l’arrivée de la Bundeswehr d’un point de vue militaire, ou bien de l’impact sur le paysage urbain, sur les évolutions démographiques, sociales, culturelles, ou économiques. Enfin, on s’interrogera sur les traces et la mémoire de la présence militaire alliée à Berlin depuis 1994.

    Political space in ancient times: representation, description, transformation

    This conference aims to develop a reflection on the links between space and politics in ancient times, using an interdisciplinary approach. While archaeologists and historians have been interested in the ways in which space can be a political object, what is missing is a general reflection that would show the contribution of a spatial approach to politics in Classics. To renew our thinking on political space, we will compare the practices of archaeology, whose field of study is resolutely linked to space, and history, whose approach is often more political, with those of literature and philology, which have also seized on space as a methodological tool.

    Contemporary African Art and New Media: Reflections on a New “Intermediatique Axis of Relevance”

    This collective work project addresses the question of the encounter between contemporary African art, new media and intermediality from a creative point of view. It attempts to rethink this encounter in the light of media ondines. The contributions invited in this call for papers require a multidisciplinary approach, in order to better question the mutations that characterise contemporary African artistic creation. We are particularly interested in articles that broaden the aesthetic and temporal categories through which contemporary art, new media and intermediality are traditionally understood.

    Tele→Visions

    Technologies of Ubiquity in the Visual Arts, 19th-21st centuries

    The international symposium Télé—Visions brings together a body of recent work on the influence of emission, transmission and reception technologies in the visual arts and visual culture, from the 19th century to the present. Beyond the medium of television itself, the plural “tele-visions” refers to the variety of remote viewing and image transmission techniques which, from semaphores to wireless telegraphy and up to fiber optics and contemporary networks, have configured new models for the circulation and transmission of images. Dialoguing with the history of science and technology as well as with media archaeology, the contributors to the conference will explore broad topics such as the joint evolution of perceptual regimes and remote transmission techniques, the modalities of “prosthetic vision,” the material effects of image transmission and the spatio-temporal issues inherent to network dynamics.

    Experiencing urban crisis in the Middle Ages

    To respond to the IMC Leed 2024 theme, Crisis, we propose to study urban crisis in the Middle Ages as a lived experience, which was made through specific sensations, emotions and actions. In a multi-sessions panel, we propose to examine what is needed to build an experience of crisis, and what makes it so powerful. We will also consider the sources and methods used by scholars, in order to question the phenomenology of this common lived-experience, which was lived by all but described only by the elite.

    Beyond clichés: social-cultural representations and practices of polygamy across Sub-Saharan women’s creative works

    Seminar Series: Women in French Australia

    In this seminar we propose to re-centre various cultural representations arising from literature (oral and written), artistic mediums, media, music and cinema by Francophone Sub-Saharan women. Importantly, this seminar aims to go beyond the denunciation-celebration axis that has so far tinged many a study on polygamy in cultural representations from the continent to explore polygamy in all its forms, including unofficial extra-marital relations implying tacit acceptance of polygamy (Boni, 139), and modes of expression.

    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.

    After the wreckage...?

    Wreck recovery, reuse and recycling

    The musée national de la Marine and the Département des recherches archéologiques subaquatiques et sous-marines partner up and join forces to organize an international symposium dedicated to the recovery, and potential reuse/recycling of material remains from maritime orriver boats, after they have been wrecked, permanently decommissioned or abandoned. Excluded from this theme are the remains of drowned bodies retrieved from wrecks or washed ashore. Chronologically, the focus is on the long term, from Antiquity to the present day. No geographical limits have been set.

    Enfants en décolonisation : migrations contraintes et construction individuelle (1945-1980)

    The conference concerned by this call for paper is part of the ANR program Children in decolonization: forced migrations and individual construction (EN-MIG) and aims at restituting the program’s results. It focuses on forced migration to France or its possessions involving children from different parts of the decaying French colonial empire. The comparative dimension lies at the heart of this symposium. It should make it possible to shed light on both the common points and the specificities of each collective migratory history. The trajectories of migrant children are often intertwined and also benefit from being studied from a connected history perspective.

    The war of the waves revisited. Cultural and political uses of radio within contexts of domination

    « RadioMorphoses » n° 11

    This thematic issue of RadioMorphoses will gather with researches working on radio in contexts charaterized by domination. Although it will especially welcome articles focusing on the uses of radio in colonial settings, in situations characterized by racial domination or ethnic domination, proposals relating to the wider field of domination can be considered. The central question at the basis of this volume will be to analyze the dynamics binding together radio, community and power; either in aiming to reproduce social hierarchies or to contest it? How has radio been used to build cultural identities within oppressive situations? Did it rely on community, particularly race-based ones? How divers publics have appropriated broadcasting contents, often in unexpected manners? This thematic issue also seeks to bring together fruitful perpectives that rarely intersect.

    The “Professional Worlds” of Architectural Ornament: Actors and Practices from the 18th Century to the Present Day

    This colloquium aims to contribute to a better understanding of the "professional worlds" of architectural ornament, by fostering a dialogue between two dynamic fields of research that have hitherto rarely been connected: the history of ornament and the history of professions linked to architecture and construction. Resolutely positioned on the side of the actors and professional practices, this event invites reflections related to the spectrum of ornament professionals, the relationship between professions, as well as the concrete organization of production chains. Contributions may cover a broad contemporary period (encompassing the 18th century and extending to the present day) marked, in particular, by the development of mass-produced ornaments and by frequent theoretical debates about the place of ornamentation. All cultural and geographical areas may be studied.
