• Animated Film and the Other Arts – Conference (in person) October 22 and 23, 2026, University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès

  Posted online on October 16, 2026

  Calenda Announcement 1,440,122 (excerpts)

  This international conference, to be held on October 22 and 23, 2026, at the University of Toulouse – Jean Jaurès, explores the relationships between animated film and other art forms: visual and plastic arts, performing arts, music, dance, circus, and design. From a historical, aesthetic, intermedial, and interdisciplinary perspective, it examines the phenomena of borrowing, cross-pollination, hybridization, and transformation that run through these artistic practices, from pre-cinematic forms to contemporary creations. It examines the dynamics of exchange between media, techniques, materials, and devices, as well as the tensions between the manual and the mechanical, the real and the illusory, and artistic exploration and the spectacular dimension. Bringing together researchers, doctoral students, and artist-researchers, the conference places special emphasis on research-creation and contributes to a reflection on the broadening of practices and definitions of animated film, viewed as an art form in constant evolution.

• Reputation: Setbacks, Turmoil, Paradoxes (16th–early 19th century) – Conference (in-person) November 12 and 13, 2026, University of Orléans

  Posted online on November 16, 2026

  Calenda Listing 1,440,058 (excerpts)

  Reputation, viewed through the lens of its disruptions, allows us to examine, over the long term, the norms and values at work in societies. Situated at the intersection of the private and public spheres, reputation reveals the multifaceted relationships between these two spheres, as expressed through individual and collective actions and manifested in social spaces. By focusing the analysis of reputation on its downsides and disruptions, it becomes possible to take a fresh look at the mechanisms and frameworks of reputation, their limitations and potential shifts, as well as the hierarchies of interpretation and power relations that underpin them.

• The Rule of Law in All Its Forms – CEVIPOF (Hybrid) Seminar – September 23, 2026, through January 28, 2027 – Sciences Po Paris

  Posted online on October 13, 2026

  Calenda Ad 1,437,291 (excerpts)

  The rule of law, a fundamental pillar of France’s political and constitutional heritage, is under attack from all sides. Populists oppose both “rule by judges” and minority rights, and believe that there should be no limits on the will of the people. A large segment of public opinion shares this view and reduces democracy to the rule of the majority. On a global scale, the major powers (the United States, China, Russia, etc.) have little regard for the concept, are withdrawing from international organizations that defend it, and support political forces in Europe that challenge it.
