These doctoral workshops will provide an opportunity to examine the legal regimes governing animals. Indeed, the plural is appropriate here, as there are a multitude of legal regimes: legal scholarship tends to distinguish between animals close to humans, animals useful to humans, and wild animals. This academic event will thus facilitate discussion on the various legal frameworks governing animals and contribute to a deeper understanding of the complexity of this subject.

While the concept of sovereignty is sparking renewed interest in the digital sphere, its relationship with ecological paradigms remains largely unexplored, although some recent publications have addressed this line of research. Indeed, in the name of digital sovereignty, new and increasingly redundant infrastructures are being built with the aim of providing better connectivity and increased computing and storage capacities.

The primary aim is to contribute to the discussion on the concept and phenomena of transition in the broadest sense—conceived in a non-reductionist and systemic manner as a contradictory dynamic of change marked by crises, leading to a gradual and profound transformation of capitalism, the outcome of which remains undetermined. These transformations are occurring at various levels—local, regional, national, and international.

This call for papers focuses on narratives, rumors, and collective imaginaries in Africa, and their role in public policy, governance, public management, and entrepreneurship. It invites analysis of the mechanisms through which these factors influence perceptions, behaviors, institutional trust, and economic and social dynamics. Contributions may focus, in particular, on social media, misinformation, artificial intelligence, health crises, political narratives, the media, and entrepreneurial practices.

The inclusion of people with disabilities is now a matter of social justice and respect for fundamental rights. Although enshrined in international treaties, this goal is hampered by unequal spatial realities, which are particularly evident in the overseas territories. While social science research on disability has expanded, studies specifically focused on overseas territories remain scarce. Similarly, statistical data in this area is incomplete. Furthermore, the legal statuses of these territories vary. And even within the Overseas Departments, situations differ due to history, local perceptions, or delayed integration into the legal framework (Mayotte). Moreover, the scales of analysis reveal different realities—particularly striking in New Caledonia, French Guiana, and French Polynesia—between local metropolitan centers and their more or less nearby peripheries. This gives rise to significant disparities—even entirely different worlds—between the regional capitals and their surrounding areas, on one hand, and the outlying regions, on the other.

Youth is a historical and social construct, the contours of which have evolved according to the needs, values, and power dynamics of each society. This issue of Agora débats/jeunesses explores this instability dating back to the 18th century, when childhood and youth emerged as distinct but not yet established phases. It examines age-related policies—legal thresholds, administrative categories, and medical knowledge—that define and reshape these boundaries. It also analyzes the experiences of young people, which often diverge from institutional norms, through the lens of youth cultures and intergenerational relationships. The theme covers education, work, gender, sexuality, inequalities, and rights, using an intersectional approach (age, class, race).

At the intersection of the life sciences and the humanities and social sciences, the journal* * *Confluence:Sciences and Humanities*, supported bythe UCLy research unit, is opening its call for miscellaneous articles to a wide range of disciplines: from philosophy to biology, from law to anthropology, from theology to management sciences, from sociology to epistemology, from literature to political science, and from medicine to physics.

Originally conceived as a simple moral requirement, good faith has gradually become a legal concept, establishing itself as one of the fundamental principles of contemporary law. It now constitutes a legal requirement governing relationships between legal subjects within domestic legal systems, relationships between citizens and the government, transnational relationships between private individuals, and interstate relations. To highlight the cross-cutting nature of this concept across various legal disciplines, this conference will focus on two main themes: good faith as a legal concept and the functions of good faith.
