  Violence and film

  The Philosophical Journal of Conflict and Violence is seeking articles dealing with philosophical issues that arise in connection with the depiction of violence in film and television. Violence, real or threatened, drives the plots of many, if not most, of the narratives we watch on the screen. Detectives solve grisly murders, victims seek revenge, teenagers flee slashers, gangsters spray bullets, Kungfu fighters trade punches, and armies clash on the battlefield (or in outer space). While almost everyone claims to wants to reduce the levels of violence in society, movie audiences regularly get an enormous kick out of watching on the screen what we abhor in real life. But not all cinematic violence is meant to titillate. Often the aim is to bring audiences closer to the sickening reality of the mistreatment and abuse suffered by those whose plights might otherwise remain invisible to us. While many worry that exposure to cinematic violence may desensitize us, perhaps it can also serve to awaken our empathy.

  Breaking boundaries: academia, activism and the arts

  The international conference Breaking Boundaries: Academia, Activism and the Arts proposes to bring into focus and critically question common grounds and boundaries between and within the Humanities, political activity and aesthetic production.​At a time when boundaries are simultaneously questioned and reinforced – for example between geographical territories, political states, public and private spheres, gendered bodies, creative media, theory and practice, local and global, human, non-human and post-human – the question of what such frontiers stand for, and how and why they might be transgressed offers itself for and, indeed, urges discussion.

  Les exils 1914-1945

  Thème de l'université d'été 2019

  La première partie du XXe siècle, de 1914 à 1945, a été une époque de guerres, de destructions et de révolutions. De nombreux travaux ont tenté de rendre compte de cette combinaison de guerre totale sans lois ni limites, de guerres civiles locales et de génocides, qui a vu aussi l’affrontement de visions opposées du monde et l’Europe se détruire, mettant ainsi au premier plan l’expérience de l’exil. Ce colloque a pour but de fournir, à partir d'une analyse interdisciplinaire (histoire, philosophie, art, politique, etc.), des points de repère à propos du concept et de l’expérience de l’exil, de son articulation avec la crise européenne et de la centralité de la Shoah.  Il entend montrer comment a évolué la notion de « d’exil » au XXe siècle ainsi que les études sur la destruction des juifs d’Europe.
