La Nouvelle Revue du travailfor its corpus no. 27, to be published in autumn 2025, is calling for articles on trade unionism and collective action in Africa. Contrary to popular belief, wage-earning and trade unionism in Africa are not disappearing. However, wage-earning - both as a condition of subordination and of social protection - remains a minority on the African continent, depending on national sectors and histories. The same is true of trade unionism, which, as a specialized activity representing workers' interests, is often numerically weak, with the exception of certain sectors or historical periods. In this singular context, what forms does trade unionism take in Africa? How can it shed light on the major contemporary questions concerning the contours of workers' defense, representation and collective action worldwide?

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.

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).

Artificial intelligence (AI) is one of the most far-reaching issues facing contemporary society. It is clear that AI will undoubtedly influence various aspects of life, society and professions, including information and communication. The aim of this international, interdisciplinary symposium is to stimulate debate and reflection on the appropriation of AI by the Information and Communication Sciences (ICS). The aim is to take stock of the epistemological changes brought about by AI in CIS disciplines and fields of research. It will also provide an overview of the uses that information and communication professionals (librarians, archivists, journalists, museologists, communicators, etc.) are making or could make of AI in the exercise of their profession. Finally, it will explore the current and emerging issues raised by AI for CIS.

The staff of cultural institutions are confronted with "local collections" which, under this or other names, bring together collections relating to the territory that the institution polarizes. The delimitations of these collections are as complex as those of the territories themselves: administrative space, often shifting historical boundaries, the space experienced by the inhabitants, from the neighborhood to the town, the department or the region. What do these local collections have to say about territories? How can libraries, archives or museums document territories and give them a reality? What is the relationship between literature, culture, geography and history?

This thematic issue of the journal Éthique publique is devoted to the theme of ethics alerts, also known as signalling, denunciation or whistleblowing. Ethical whistleblowing involves revealing illegal or illegitimate practices such as corruption, fraud or harm to public health, to entities capable of intervening to put a stop to such practices. Now recognized as an essential tool in the fight against reprehensible behavior, ethical whistleblowing is gaining in visibility through high-profile ethical scandals that highlight the essential role played by a whistleblower. This issue aims to enrich our understanding of ethical whistleblowing by exploring its own motives, its regulatory framework, the legal protections to which whistleblowers are entitled in the face of frequent reprisals, the organizational factors influencing the effectiveness of whistleblowing, and its impacts, both positive and negative, on whistleblowers, their entourage and the entities targeted by their revelations.

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).
