• Les personnes trans et les activités physiques, sportives et artistiques : perspectives contemporaines - Université Paris Cité deadline (abstract) before 31 07 2026

  Posted 05 26 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 402 929 (extracts)

  Historically structured around binary gender norms, physical, sporting and artistic activities (APSA) constitute spaces in which transidentites question gender categories, forms of categorization and modalities of recognition. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this day will analyze the experiences of trans people in federal environments, in teaching, education and training contexts, and in so-called "alternative" spaces. It also aims to question the way in which trans people contribute, through their practices and experiences, to displacing, transforming or reconfiguring gender norms and the institutional frameworks of APSA.

• Vingt ans de la convention des Nations Unies relative aux droits des personnes handicapées en Afrique : progrès, défis et perspectives- Université de Yaoundé I (Cameroun) deadline (abstract) 11 06 2026

  Posted 05 26 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1400 864

  On December 13, 2006, the United Nations General Assembly unanimously adopted the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Twenty years on, it is worth noting that disabled people in Africa unfortunately continue to face numerous difficulties in accessing healthcare, information, education, decent employment and empowerment. They are also the daily victims of stigmatization, rejection and marginalization. This state of affairs contributes in no small measure to the flagrant violation of even the most fundamental rights guaranteed by national and international legislation.

• When filiation cannot be taken for granted. Filiations et violences, XXe - XXIe siècles - Sciences Po Paris - deadline (abstract) before 30 06 2026

  Online 20 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 400 735 (extracts)

  On a collective scale, the two world wars and the wars of decolonization have left behind generations marked by the experience of disrupted bonds with parents. On a private level, recent years have seen a growing awareness of the presence of violence even in the family sphere. It is precisely at the point where violence and filiation collide that this symposium intends to focus. We propose to examine the impact of private and public violence on questions of filiation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.

• Ageing. Je vieillis, nous vieillissons: de la complexité des vieillissements pluriels - "Cahiers de systémique" - deadline (article proposals) before 30 11 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 394 491 (extracts)

  This issue of Cahiers de systémique proposes to address a phenomenon that is widely shared but rarely dealt with from the point of view of the dynamics of complex systems: aging, understood as a biological process (cells, organs, organism), a biographical process (individual trajectories marked by ordeals, e.g. widowhood, loss of autonomy), and a collective process (demographic, institutional and cultural transformations).

• La permission - Université de Franche-Comté (Besançon) - deadline (abstract) 01 06 2026

  Online 07 05 2026

  Calenda announcement 1 396 878 (extracts)

  This call for papers focuses on the notion of permission in law, understood as a category. The event aims to question its theoretical status, diversity and functions, distinguishing in particular the different forms of permissive acts (authorization, tolerance, empowerment). It also aims to analyze the growing role of authorization mechanisms in contemporary legal systems, marked by logics of prior control. At the crossroads of general legal theory and the branches of positive law, the aim is to clarify the place of permission in the typology of norms and its practical implications.

• The complexities of sexual consent - APHM (Marseille) - deadline (proposals) 27 09 2026

  Online 29 04 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 394 366 (extracts)

  Organized by CRIR AVS PACA (Centre Ressource pour les Intervenants auprès des Auteurs de Violences Sexuelles Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), this symposium will explore the complexities of sexual consent at the intersection of the human and social sciences, medical sciences, law and professional practices. The aim is to analyze consent as a dynamic process, marked by power relationships, vulnerabilities, social norms and psychological issues, particularly in the field of sexual violence and support for perpetrators, both adults and minors. The event aims to promote interdisciplinary dialogue on contemporary uses of the notion of consent, its evaluation and clinical, educational, social, institutional and judicial support.

  The symposium will explore consent as a dynamic process, based on a cross-reading of human and social sciences, medical sciences and law, in relation to professional practices. It is aimed at professionals concerned by these issues (carers, psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, educators, professionals in the judicial, penitentiary and medico-social fields, etc.), as well as academics, researchers and students engaged in reflection on sexual violence, sexuality and consent.

• 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.

The magazine accepts off-theme proposals for the Champ libre section at all times, and reserves the Grand angle section for thematic contributions. NQF regularly issues calls for contributions on these themes, but not always, when, for example, an issue is put together following a symposium that the editorial board has deemed of interest to the magazine.
