This colloquium will explore the migratory experiences of exiles, attempting to highlight the preservation of their memory throughout their journey. Consequently, the organizers wish to place particular emphasis on the vital role of art in expressing the migratory experience. Emphasis will also be placed on the geographical writing of migratory journeys, revealing the geopolitical stakes and obstacles encountered. Finally, the debates will address the complex issue of integrating exiles into societies, while highlighting the importance of an anthropological approach to evaluating proclaimed rights in practice.

If the stereotype categorizes and simplifies the other culture, the other people, the other nation, the other religion, the other language, isn't it symptomatic of ethnocentrism? It would open the door to xenophobia and racism. But how can we explain the presence of positive, even rewarding stereotypes? If so, wouldn't it be a sign of friendship, respect, fraternity and admiration? Of course, these stereotypes are not without their faults either. The aim of this study day is to create a collective reflection on cultural stereotypes from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is to examine the circulation and use of stereotypes in different disciplines and linguistic and cultural areas. This call for papers is aimed primarily at young researchers (PhD students, post-docs, Masters students).

The covid 19 pandemic that, since 2019, has spread from China to the entire planet, draws attention to a phenomenon that has recurred throughout the centuries, that of epidemics and communicable diseases. First, it's important to define the terms of the subject. An endemic is a disease that is permanently rife in a given region, such as malaria. An epidemic occurs when a contagious disease strikes a large number of people at a given time. A pandemic occurs when a disease rapidly affects a large part of the planet.

Focusing on the colonial question in the exile press, the congress aims to discuss the liminality of experiences of occupation, dissidence, clandestinity and banishment in their relation to political expatriation, both in terms of the similarities of their psychological impact and the circulations they tend to foster. The aim is to encourage studies that explore the ideas, images and debates around colonialism and colonial realities mobilized by exile periodicals, both in their diversity and by highlighting convergences and divergences.

Power and knowledge are inextricably linked. They nourish and engender each other, building hegemonic frameworks that fluctuate according to time, geography and culture. When one or the other is called into question, a crisis of legitimacy arises, and takes the form of contentious discourses and practices, often associated with the emergence of counter-knowledge and counter-power. The colloquium organized by the IMAGER laboratory (Institut des mondes anglophone, germanique et roman, Université Paris-Est Créteil) aims to offer a fresh look at contestation through the prism of interactions between power and knowledge. Like the various research teams that make up the laboratory, the colloquium is resolutely trans-disciplinary, and aims to highlight the work of researchers in linguistics, didactics, the arts and literature, the history of ideas and civilization.

The aim of this study day will be twofold. It will attempt to identify the visible and invisible, sometimes fleeting and elusive, spaces/interstices occupied by the religious (places of worship, soup kitchens, Bible readings, Sunday schools, cyberspace, etc.) in urban areas; while at the same time questioning the strategies and creativity of those involved in religious and spiritual missions who strive to make the religious visible in urban space. Conversely, what spaces do institutional, political, economic and social players grant (or are they prepared to grant) to the religious?

In order to pursue the interdisciplinary reflection carried out as part of the REC.forward program on the contemporary reuse of amateur film, a third edition will focus on the gestures of reuse that draw their material from amateur audiovisual content produced and distributed on the Internet, as part of the exchanges that characterize digital life on social networks. By focusing on this specific space of creation and distribution in a variety of socio-numerical contexts, this theme will allow us to pursue the questioning we've begun on the actors, intentionalities and contexts of amateur film reappropriation (symposium 2022), as well as on the memorial stakes of their contemporary reuse (symposium 2023).

The history of the separation of Church and State, whose epicenter is the law of December 9, 1905, has been the subject of abundant literature, albeit measured against the growing importance that the French public debate has accorded to the question of secularism over the past thirty years. The historical dimension of secularism remains to be written. The aim is to create a new dimension in the history of French secularism, by analyzing the way in which the idea of separation and secularism, from the launch of the debate on this subject in 1902, through to the legal stabilization of 1924 (agreement on the Dioceses) and the familiarization of French society with this reality some ten years later (1935), has been perceived by the social sciences.
