• 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.

• Air travel, air travel: from dream to disenchantment- Université Le Mans - deadline (abstract) before 01 06 2026

  Online 19 03 2026

  Announcement Calenda 1 375 748

  This multidisciplinary colloquium aims to examine fictional and non-fictional representations and discourses on air travel, from both scholarly and popular cultures, to understand how aeronautical travel is caught between an inexhaustible poetics of the sky and contemptuous, disillusioned discourses. It seems necessary to take a close look at aerial imaginaries, to try and understand how air travel has come to be the subject of such polarized affects and value judgments: at first synonymous with grandeur, success, glory, even the divinization of humanity, how has it come to refer us today to a form of failure or collective threat?
