States, institutions and societies in Iran, Afghanistan, Central Asia and Pakistan since the 1970s
Organised by the Centre d’histoire du XIXe siècle (CRHXIX, Sorbonne University) and the Centre de recherches internationales (CERI, Sciences-Po), the graduate conference aims to rethink relations between states and societies in Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Central Asia since the 1970s, paying attention to transnational trajectories and circulations of political phenomena and groups, and their relationship to the state.

Call for papers - Ethnology, anthropology
This edition of Savoirs en Prisme review proposes some reflexions on how their manner of conversing defines human societies. Nowadays the word conversation can refer to interactions without voice or body using predictive text and artificial intelligence. Can this type of communication meet the needs of human beings? Is not face-to-face conversation a necessity, almost an urgency at the moment? Literature and all forms of representations have bequeathed to us this principle present at the very core of societies.

Participation: trick of neo-liberal capitalism or true perspective for the social sciences ?
Journal des anthropologues n°178-179
Anthropology, like the social sciences as a whole and a good number of academic disciplines, seems to be experiencing a “participatory turn”. How can we analyse the injunction to radically transform our ways of doing not only in the field but also outside it? Can applied anthropology, as it has been developing for many years in Quebec and in the Anglo-Saxon world, inform us about the real consequences of this evolution? These are some of the questions we wish to address in this issue. Simultaneously with the constitution of this file, we will open a research notebook that we hope will constitute the basis of a collaborative platform that will allow us to preserve the international contacts established during its production.

Peasantries and Violent Conflicts
In this call for papers, we wish to address the relationship between the peasantry and conflicts with all the necessary analytical finesse and empiricism, by exploring the plurality of repertoires and modes of action to identify the contextual markers of the trajectories of violent crises involving the peasantry to varying degrees and in various forms. What we mean by violent conflict is any form of confrontation mobilizing a diversified arsenal, with a destructive effect on the agricultural, economic, and social systems in place, and with at times the aim of reconfiguring them to the advantage of certain actors. Such conflicts may be internal to certain peasantries, or may occur at their contact when they are exploited by external actors. Others may take shape and develop outside the rural world before reaching it. These violent conflicts are often found at the crossroads of a range of factors and processes: power dynamics linked to land access, the crystallization of identity and ethno-community differences, and governance problems.

Les attaques de Boko Haram à l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun
Regards croisés sur les dix années de guerre anti-terroriste (2013-2023)
The study invites to evaluate the anti-terrorist fightback lead since 2013 by the Cameroon state in the Far North region against Boko Haram. The project intends to analyse the issue ten years after the attack. It ambitions to bring a new perspective on the causes of this security crisis, the method of fight against the Boko Haram terrorist group and the implication of this new context. Articles involving proposals of new solutions in terms of State reaction and mechanisms of adaptation are welcomed. An interdisciplinary perspective is expected in this project. Historians, philosophers, sociologists, jurists, anthropologists, linguists and others are invited to propose their vision of the topic.

A Study Day Around Illustrated Print Culture
This study day aims to gather researchers around the subject of the printed image since the 1880s. With particular attention to material bibliography and production techniques, we seek to better understand how illustrations contribute to the formation of meaning and discourses within different contexts from illustrated newspapers to etiquette manuals, from scientific journals to children’s books.

Call for papers - Representation
As the research training group “European Dream Cultures” at Saarland University enters its ninth and final year, we would like our concluding conference to look not only back but also ahead, in focussing on future content of dreaming in literature, art, theatre, film, and music. Key questions include: What types of futures do artistic dreams of the future envision? Are they utopian or dystopian? Are they marked as dreams experienced during sleep, or are they imaginings of the future that are dreamlike in nature but anchored in the waking world? How do they connect to the present or the past, and to which version of these temporalities? What function do they assume within different works? To what extent do religious, political, or epistemological discourses influence these artistic dreams of the future?

Migration in Belgium: Epistemological issues, History, Public action and Mobilisations
This study day aims to bring together researchers from different social science disciplines (anthropology, law, economics, geography, history, philosophy, psychology, political science, sociology, etc.) working on migration issues in Belgium. In a context where migration phenomena are regularly at the forefront of political and media news (“reception crisis”, border management and control, citizen mobilisations, etc.), the aim of this study day is, on the one hand, to review the progress of research in the various social science disciplines in this field, and, on the other hand, to refine academic analyses through a multidisciplinary dialogue. This meeting thus intends to contribute to a better understanding of the migration phenomenon in Belgium.

Health, gender and sustainable development in schools and universities
This Conference on “Health, gender and sustainable development in schools and universities” questions the school and university environment as a space for learning, training, socialisation and production of the elite, and also appears to be the theatre par excellence for the expression of various types of social problems. Faced with this social reality, it is essential for researchers in Africa and the world to reflect on this issue in order to propose sustainable solutions.

Artificial intelligence and transformations of work
Through this conference, we aim to provide a social philosophy of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and work, grounded in an ethical framework. Focusing on three axes of research, we’ll consider the history of the technological replacement debate, the conditions of work with AI, and the transformations of fairness and justice to highlight AI’s specificities. We aim to address developing questions within an emerging literature on AI’s impact on work.

Chinese public space, a shared space?
Espaces et Sociétés’ perspective on the Chinese city and urbanization, through a notion that is both distinctive and paradoxical in China: public space. The title of this call for papers, “Chinese public space, a shared space?” questions on the one hand the specific definition of Chinese public space, which is undergoing very rapid changes, and on the other hand its ability to be “shared” locally and internationally.

The Invention of Traditions in the United Kingdom and the British Empire, 1840-1940
The year 2023 will mark the fortieth anniversary of the publication of The Invention of Tradition, a collective work edited by Eric Hobsbawm and Terence Ranger. Since this publication, the invention of tradition has become a key concept in cultural studies. While the book edited by Hobsbawm and Ranger brings together contributions on the invention of the Scottish kilt tradition, Welsh national culture, scouting, and British monarchical ceremonies, which cover the period from 1840 to 1914, this conference invites us to explore other invented traditions over a longer period, from the 1840s to the 1940s. It will also analyze the reactivation of certain traditions at key moments in history.

Thresholds and crossing points
For Fantasy fiction characters, crossing worlds is rather common, especially in Low Fantasy. Many works in this genre also have the heroes travel from one space to another through doors, tunnels, windows, portals or specific means of transport. This new issue of Fantasy Art and Studies aims to question the thresholds and places of passage in Fantasy fiction, from the most common to the most singular, and possibly to identify a typology.

“The body of an athlete and the soul of a sage - these are what we require to be happy”, wrote Voltaire to Helvetius. At RITA, although we don’t claim to have athletic bodies, we humbly hope that our journal does lead to the path of wisdom. As Paris will host the Olympic Games in 2024, we thought it relevant to invite researchers to show wisdom and gain some critical distance to question the role and function of sports in the Americas, from North to South.

Cantieri dell’Agiografia, 7th edition Rome
The Cantieri dell’Agiografia (Hagiography Workshops) aim both at encouraging networking among scholars and at bringing out the most innovative research and methodologies in the field of hagiographical studies. This workshop provides a context in which the participants’ research can be showcased in diachronic and multidisciplinary forms. Participants are encouraged to discuss methodological tools, historical paths, and social and cultural interactions that, over the centuries and up to the present day, have sustained the process of recognition of sanctity, such as cultic practices, places of devotion, and forms of hagiographical communication.

Insecure Conditions: ‘Precarity’ and ‘Precarisation’ in Contemporary History
18th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History
At the 18th Potsdam Postgraduate Forum on Contemporary History, we propose to take the concept of “precarity” as a starting point to inquire into situations of insecure circumstances in contemporary history: (co-)productions and perceptions of them, ways of dealing with them, and their effects on those exposed to them.

Pastoral academies. A global phenomenon?
The international symposium “Pastoral Academies. A global phenomenon?” offers an opportunity for researchers in literature and history to meet and discuss a phenomenon that has never been studied in its European or even global dimension: the development, from the 16th to the very early 19th century, of literary academies or cenacles adopting forms and names taken from bucolic literature.
