  The world's climate is changing rapidly and will continue to do so in the long term because of human activities. This climate change characterized by rising temperatures, sea level rise, precipitation distribution and the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is a definite risk to human health. The objective of this multidisciplinary study day is to bring together recent work on the links between climate change and health in Africa, to show the issues related to the present and future effects of climate change on human health on the one hand, and on the other hand, to reflect on adaptation strategies and resilience measures that protect and promote good health and well-being of populations, particularly the most vulnerable.

• Inequalities and Politics - Universities of Yaoundé and others (Cameroon and others) - deadline (papers) August 10, 2022

  On-line 18 May 2022 - Deadline for entries (articles) 10 08 2022

  (Calenda announcement 899444)

  This call for papers aims, in particular, to shed new scientific light on the relationship between inequalities and politics. Indeed, the aim is to show and understand how and why inequalities structure daily life. It is also an opportunity to grasp their objectification and their manifestations through, among others, categories such as domination and resilience. Particular emphasis is placed on the fact that the uses to which inequalities are put can be, and often are, at the root of the changes observed in the political societies of the contemporary world. The present call for papers is therefore open to researchers in the humanities and social sciences from any country.

• The Press in the French Colonial Empire (XIX-XXth centuries) - University of Le Mans - deadline (abstracts) before August 1, 2022

  Studies of the press (periodicals and magazines) in colonial spaces are still relatively rare and have only just begun to benefit from the conceptual and methodological advances that have marked the renewal of the history and criticism of periodicals in France over the last fifteen years. The objective of this conference is to take stock of these issues by focusing on the French colonial empire and the period 1830-1960. Proposals may focus on the relationship between the metropolitan press and the press published in the colonies, on the links between the different colonial spaces, on the relationship between the French-speaking press and the press published in local languages, on the role of the press in the emergence of local elites and in the mutations of the colonized societies, and finally on the problems of accessibility of the collections and the use of digital tools for their exploitation.

• Transfer of models and concepts between legal orders - University of Oujda (Morocco) - deadline (abstracts) June 15, 2022

  On-line 16 May 2022 - Deadline for participation (abstracts) 15 06 2022

  (Calenda announcement 979864)

  This is a call for contributions with the aim of publishing a collective work on the transfer of models and concepts between legal orders. In an increasingly globalized world, this theme is more relevant than ever. In order to produce the most detailed analysis possible, we are calling on jurists from all backgrounds and disciplines. These works have the ambition to associate the concrete and theoretical approaches of practitioners and academics while privileging the transdisciplinarity within the legal disciplines (public law, private law, theory and philosophy of law, legal anthropology, history of law, etc.)

• Enhancing empires (19th-20th centuries) - Sciences Po (Paris) - deadline (abstracts) June 15, 2022

  On-line 16 May 2022 - Deadline for participation (abstracts) 15 06 2022

  (Calenda announcement 988053)

  The aim of the colloquium is to bring together the history of empires, environmental history and the history of capitalism, with the ambition of including in the economic history of empires the contributions of two fields of research that have been particularly dynamic in recent years: the new history of capitalism on the one hand and environmental history on the other. Its objective would be to analyze how imperial expansion led to, and was led by, processes of economic valorization of natural elements located outside the metropolis (forests, land, minerals, cereals, livestock, etc.). Its ambition would thus be to reinterrogate imperial history in the light of the extension of the "capital process" to the environments and societies that the great imperial powers formally directed or informally influenced.

• Work and environment - University of Paris - IRD - deadline (abstracts) before June 15, 2022

  Online May 16, 2022 - Deadline for participation (abstracts) before June 15, 2022

  (Ad Calenda 988289)

  The study day addresses the multiple dimensions of the simultaneous constructions and deconstructions of work and the environment in the age of covid. These constructions and deconstructions are understood on the level of real processes, but also on the ideal level of constructions of work and the environment as economic, political and moral concepts, inscribed in technical paradigms. Case studies, giving an empirical view of these interrelations in singular contexts, will be particularly useful for this approach, as will analyses that take into account social affiliations. Economic models are also a transversal dimension. On this common basis, contributions on the three thematic axes of analysis of techniques, time and space, mobilizations and struggles, will be particularly welcome.

  The Department of Television of the Higher School of Science and Technology of Information and Communication (ESSTIC), University of Yaoundé II, is taking the initiative to publish a book devoted to television in Cameroon. First of its kind, the book will consist of a series of contributions that will inform on the main aspects of television, with a view to making an inventory more than 30 years after the creation of the first channel, the CTV. It will then turn to the mutations that can be induced by social, political, technical and technological factors that work this media and the sector that surrounds it. Although it does not claim to be exhaustive, it will draw up a picture offering a faithful image of the current territory of a television landscape that is both rich and in full dynamization.

  Connected companies have a competitive advantage in today's digital world because they learn and evolve faster than their competitors. It is in the perspective of understanding both the theoretical and empirical links between the digital revolution and the enterprise that the implementation of a permanent reflection on the evolution of the enterprise, the contributions of technology and the new model busines is imperative. Thus, all eligible contributions to this collective work must explore the different facets of the digital enterprise.
