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.

Epidemics and communicable diseases. Des fléaux à travers l'Histoire - ISET (Tunisia) - deadline (proposal) 30 06 2024

(Calenda announcement 1142675)

The covid 19 pandemic that, since 2019, has spread from China to the entire planet, draws attention to a phenomenon that has recurred throughout the centuries, that of epidemics and communicable diseases. First, it's important to define the terms of the subject. An endemic is a disease that is permanently rife in a given region, such as malaria. An epidemic occurs when a contagious disease strikes a large number of people at a given time. A pandemic occurs when a disease rapidly affects a large part of the planet.
