An environmental history of work and labour
The Réseau universitaire de chercheurs et chercheuses en histoire environnementale (RUCHE, French-speaking network in environmental history, founded in 2009) and the Association française pour l’histoire des mondes du travail (AFHMT, French network for work and labour history, founded in 2013), organize this international joint conference, which aims to put this interdependence into historical perspective. Its ambition is, on the one hand, to contribute to a stronger dialogue between these two major historiographical fields (work/labour and the environment) and, on the other hand, to bring back on the agenda the long-standing but yet unachieved project of an environmental history of work.

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.

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.

Defining the constituent elements of work in ancient societies is a challenge for historians, as they generally do not correspond to contemporary conceptions of the professional world, which are often ill-suited to the semantic richness and fluidity of the categories in use in the ancient and medieval worlds. For this tenth issue of Frontière·s, authors are therefore invited to identify and question the boundaries of work in protohistoric, ancient and medieval societies.

On Asceticism: Crossing Traditions, New Perspectives
L’idée du colloque est de réunir des spécialistes issus de divers horizons disciplinaires, culturels et de genres, pour discuter de l’ascétisme. Au lieu de se concentrer sur l’évolution linéaire de certaines traditions ascétiques dans la philosophie occidentale, l’objectif est de souligner la multiplicité et la mutabilité de l’ascétisme au sein et au-delà des traditions occidentales. Outre les débats philosophiques et religieux de longue date sur l’ascétisme, nous accueillerons également des articles qui traitent de l’ascétisme dans un contexte contemporain, tel que la création et la critique artistiques, la santé et le bien-être, ou l’engagement dans les problèmes urgents de l’environnement.

Nice
The 43rd event of the Nice Côte d’Azur International Meeting of Archaeology and History will deal with the division and social organisation of labour, as defined by material remains (tools, finished products, images, biological witnesses, etc.), considered at various spatial scales (domestic units, workshops, sites and territories) and over the long duration. The objective will therefore be to reflect, between specialists from different disciplines, cultures and periods, upon the social organisation of productive activities within ancient and present-day human communities, with a particular focus on the links between technical phenomena and social arrangements, and on the methods that enable to account for them.

Refocusing on Roman provincial society
Forms of coexistence and distinction in Rome's western provinces
L’Association pour l’archéologie romaine en Suisse (ARS) organise un colloque intitulé « La société provinciale romaine en question - Formes de coexistence et de distinction dans les provinces occidentales de Rome ». Sur ce thème longtemps réservé aux historiens et aux épigraphistes, l’archéologie pose un regard nouveau : quels indices matériels permettent l’identification de l’ordre social, tant à l’échelle du territoire, du site, que de l’individu ? C’est à ces questionnements essentiels que cette rencontre scientifique propose de répondre - ou du moins d’apporter quelques pistes de réflexion. 25 chercheuses et chercheurs originaires de Suisse, d’Allemagne, d’Autriche, de France, d’Espagne, du Royaume-Uni et des États-Unis sont attendus pour ces deux journées qui s’annoncent fructueuses.

Landscapes and sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy
The international interdisciplinary conference “Landscapes and Sanctuaries. The rediscovery of cult places in the Aegean Basin and in Southern Italy”, focuses on the study of landscapes and the rediscovery of sanctuaries in Southern Italy and Greece between the eighteenth and early twentieth centuries. It invites to cross archaeological and historical approaches to understand the link between sanctuaries and landscapes, but also the way these data have conditioned the rediscovery of lost archaeological sites.

Clio, 60 (2024 – volume 2)
This issue of Clio wishes to historicize the gender of speech in interaction with varying social spaces, from the most intimate to the most political. Our ambition is less to question the gender of language as a whole (feminist and queer research has analyzed language as both an object of power relations and the means of producing, transmitting and naturalizing symbolic domination, as well as a space and a tool for action). Instead, we would like to address the gender of speech and of the people involved in communication, without focusing on the specific dimension of the voice.

Archéologie de la production céramique et des espaces artisanaux : regards croisés
From the 8th millennium BCE onwards, pottery production developed in Southwestern Asia and became a significant trait of Neolithic societies. Ceramic material is widely adopted. It represented a revolution on several scales and quickly constituted an important part of production activities. Thus, the objective of this workshop is to propose a transdisciplinary meeting about the methodologies of studying pottery manufacture sites, through examples from various contexts from prehistoric times to the contemporary period, and with a special interest in alternative approaches.

Elite Mobility and Funerary Practices in Iron Age Europe
Modern borders and language barriers are a huge hindrance in the field of Early Iron Age research. This conference will strive to overcome this by inviting specialists from Western and Central Europe and the British Isles to present research on elite graves found in their regions and consider a range of topics that contribute to our understanding of the rise of Early Iron Age elites throughout Northwest Europe and their large-scale networks.

Conference, symposium - Prehistory and Antiquity
This international symposium brings together transdisciplinary researchers in order to renew the outlook on European Protohistory. Protohistoric societies having left few texts, can sites or artefacts tell us about the immaterial production of knowledge? Recent researches on comparatism, in archaeoastronomy, ethnomathematics, paleopathology or bioarchaeology, show that these societies produced knowledge and transmitted it, raising the question of the exchange of this knowledge and technologies. The texts produced by the contemporaries of the Celts show a complex and codified culture, corroborated by the found artefacts. Our gaze must therefore depart from a disciplinary compartmentalization, researches combining archaeology, astronomy, artificial intelligence, mathematics, provide interesting answers on this question.

Pre- and Protohistoric deep pit systems in France
Assessment of the National Mapping Project
Several research projects have been carried out over the last ten years on the general theme of Mesolithic and Protohistoric deep pits - mainly Neolithic and Bronze Age. In the course of discussions and thanks to field discoveries, some milestones have been set, both from a methodological point of view and in terms of scientific achievements in typology and chronology. This round table marks a stage in the project undertaken within Inrap in 2015 by reviewing the state of regional discoveries and the main lessons that can be drawn from this theme at the national level.

« Ius et Religio ». Droit, religions anciennes et christianisme dans l’Antiquité
LXXVe session de la société internationale Fernand de Visscher pour l’histoire des droits de l’Antiquité
Fernand De Visscher was a professor of Belgian Roman law, a humanist convinced of the importance of scientific exchanges between foreign scholars, to which the laws of antiquity – as the common matrix of European legal systems – lend themselves so well. Romanists and legal historians from all over the world will thus come together for this anniversary session around the theme: "Ius and Religio. Law, Ancient Religions and Christianity in Antiquity". The contemporary crisis of universalisms, as well as the resurgence of fundamentalisms, both religious and secular, require more than ever an informed look at “religion” in its historical and institutional relationships with law, the state, and society.

From the disconnected letters to the science of letters: a meeting of knowledges in the Middle East
In order to interpret the disconnected letters of the Qur’an (ḥurūf muqaṭṭa‘a), Muslim thinkers have based their work on esoteric concepts, sometimes handed down from Antiquity, which have flourished in Islamic lands under the name of the science of letters (‘ilm al-ḥurūf). This international symposium aims to study the various representations of the mysterious letters within the wider framework of the science of letters, and to put them in perspective against similar readings from languages and cultures close to Arabic. Part of the symposium will be held in the historic citadel of Erbil in the heart of ancient Mesopotamia, “the land of the two rivers”, the cradle of early writing.
