In partnership with Éditions Le Cavalier Bleu, the Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l'homme invites researchers from all disciplines in the humanities and social sciences to submit manuscripts for the MiMed "Migrations Méditerranée" collection.

Under the direction of Stéphane Mourlane, this collection offers a multi-disciplinary approach to the dynamics of migration, as well as the rooting and uprooting that shape the Mediterranean and its interactions with other spaces, from a historical or contemporary perspective. Available in print and digital format, and open access after 12 months on Cairn, the collection welcomes all manuscript proposals that shed light on transnational forms of mobility and their political, social or cultural effects within the Mediterranean space and beyond. Given the crucial importance of migration in current societal debates, MiMed stands out for its ambition to present a scientific vision of migration issues, combining a rigorous social science approach with writing that is accessible to a wide audience.

This is one of the questions that will drive the 6th edition of the colloquium for doctoral students and young doctors, entitled "Actualité et réactions du droit", to be held on November 17, 2026 at the Faculté de Droit et de Sciences politiques in Nantes. The aim is to discuss and study the various reactions of the law to events of varying degrees of importance. While the law may give the impression of feeding on current events, it also appears that certain subjects and certain types of events do not lead to any evolution, or even lead the legislator to go back on acquired legal norms.

The international system is based on a set of relationships between states, international organizations and non-state actors, framed by international law and multilateralism to preserve peace and organize global governance. However, since the end of the Cold War, this order has undergone a profound crisis, marked by geopolitical conflicts, power rivalries, the fragmentation of international institutions and the emergence of new forms of hybrid and informational conflict. At the same time, the global South, notably through the BRICS+, is asserting its growing strategic autonomy and challenging Western domination and the established international order. Against this backdrop, the Sahel is a telling example of the limits of multilateralism in the face of persistent security, political and economic crises. These mutations underline the need to rethink the international system and its governance mechanisms to meet contemporary challenges. In line with the above, the Revue de L'EMP-ABB is collecting articles for an issue on the international system.

The Arab uprisings of 2011 ushered in sequences of political transformation whose contrasting trajectories continue to challenge the social sciences. Fifteen years on, the variety of outcomes observed - authoritarian restorations, unfinished transitions, state collapses - calls for a critical review of the analytical tools mobilized to think about change in the Arab and Muslim worlds. This study day will examine, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the notions of crisis, transition and rupture, questioning their uses, their limits and the conceptual alternatives likely to give a better account of configurations where instability is not an episode but a lasting condition.

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.

The colloquium organized at the University of Clermont Auvergne (Clermont-Ferrand, France) on November 25, 26 and 27, 2026 proposes to combine feedback from experience, analysis of systems, and theoretical contributions in order to question what it means to "build community in higher education" in a context of internationalization. The aim is to explore how interculturality can be thought of not just as an objective, but as a process that structures policies, pedagogical practices and forms of institutional life. We invite researchers from a variety of disciplines and practitioners to submit papers in French, English or Spanish.

The French Revolution has long been considered the matrix of all revolutions. Having "flooded its shores" with a dynamic that was "salutary and fruitful among the blessings of men", its principles and majesty inflected the destinies of neighboring peoples. What's more, for Michelet, 1789 made France the "vessel of humanity", the guide for all peoples in their quest for emancipation and freedom. In this paradigm, subsequent foreign revolutions stemmed from a unique global message delivered in France, the homeland of human rights and, as such, the beacon of humanity.

This symposium will examine the ways in which digital spaces contribute to the construction of social representations relating to climate change and environmental transitions. It will examine both the content published and the socio-technical logics that structure its production, circulation and prioritization, as well as the ways in which it is appropriated by online communities.
