• Pouvoir et foncier : faire et défaire la propriété en Afrique contemporaine - Yaoundé I University (Cameroon) - deadline (abstract for a book) before 10 06 2026

  Online 21 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 388 009 (extracts)

  Throughout Africa, the state is constantly at the heart of the dynamics of land regulation. Its status differs according to the position it adopts. Peacemaker or vigilante when it acts as a mediator to neutralize the conflicts that arise; executioner or captor when it uses the means of public power or its legal prerogatives to pre-empt a domain that may or may not be recognized as individual or even community property; broker or facilitator when it acts as a negotiating interface between various parties in the context of market or non-market transactions. In this way, the state appears to be the essential mechanism on which social forces in relation to land ownership are built and built upon, stumbled upon and unravelled.

  Online 21 04 2026

  Calenda announcement 1 385 909 (extracts)

  The colloquium aims to address Latin American themes and issues from a variety of disciplines, including history, literature and linguistics. It aims to establish itself as a biennial forum for discussion, fostering transdisciplinary analysis of a theme in Latin American history and reality. In this sense, transdisciplinarity is conceived not simply as the presentation of the same theme from different angles, but as an integration of disciplines that generates new knowledge and transcends the limits of each field.

• L'eau dans l'histoire des Alpes-Maritimes, enjeux sociétaux, juridiques et politiques - Université de Côte d'Azur - deadline - proposal (received from 30 05 2026 to 30 06 2026)

  Online 16 04 2026

  Calenda listing 1 387 603

  The distribution of water resources in the Alpes-Maritimes is constrained: most of the water consumed on the coast is stored in the Var alluvial aquifer, but most of it comes from rainfall and runoff upstream in mountainous areas. Today, as in the past, this interdependence raises many questions in terms of territorial cohesion. This symposium aims to highlight this reality through a multi-disciplinary approach in the human and social sciences. For this reason, while focusing on a historical approach, it intends to call on specialists in geography, sociology, anthropology, law, political science, urban planning and architecture.

• Les sciences du bonheur face aux polycrises - Journal "Sciences et bonheur" - deadline (abstract) 30 06 2026

  Online 16 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 388 339

  As part of a forthcoming thematic issue, Sciences et Bonheur magazine is launching a call for contributions. When we think of the current zeitgeist, "happiness" isn't necessarily the first word that comes to mind, so full is the current situation of negativity and uncertainty, be it geopolitical, economic, social or climatic. In this troubled context, happiness might seem naïve, even at odds with the issues of the moment. What might appear to be a clash of horizons is only a clash of horizons if we consider happiness as a simple individual quest for well-being?

• Law, political identities, languages - University of Bordeaux - deadline (proposal) before 15 09 2026

  Online 16 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 381 733

  At the beginning of the 21st century, with globalization taking hold of our pluralistic societies, the issues of languages, identities (social and political) and individual rights have become nodal themes for the world as it reshapes itself. Paradoxically, globalization has made it possible not to compartmentalize, standardize - or even normalize - the 6,700 (re)known languages and 7,000 ethnic groups that interact in the legal-normative (rights of States, customs, heteronomies) and economic system it encloses, but, on the contrary, to think modernity in terms of freedom, security and democracy, and thus to open up new language practices.
