    “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya

    The trilingual conference “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya seeks to address a still relatively unexplored topic: the study of Italian communities abroad, with particular attention to the Mediterranean world in the period between national unification (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911). At the core of this reflection lies the close, and not merely chronological, relationship between the migratory dynamics that characterized the early decades of unified Italy and the rise of colonial expansionism. The seminar therefore aims to investigate this connection through the specific lens offered by the Italian presence in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire before the occupation of Libya.

    La journée d'étude « Gastronomie, langage et marketing : discours de marque et communication sociale dans l’agroalimentaire » vise à explorer les interactions entre la linguistique, le marketing et la communication sociale pour analyser comment le discours gastronomique façonne les identités, influence les comportements des consommateurs et se laisse façonner par ces derniers. Le colloque part du principe que les pratiques culinaires sont devenues une forme de communication complexe, porteuse de significations culturelles, économiques et identitaires.

    The Americans in the western Mediterranean (1942-1945)

    Landings, liberation and the "pax americana"

    The objective of this meeting is to refocus the history of landings and subsequent military liberation operations in the Western Mediterranean, between 1942 and 1945, from an American perspective. Indeed, from Operation Torch in North Africa to the landing in Provence in August 1944 and the final battles in Italy in the spring of 1945, the United States asserted their decisions over the British within the coalition. Furthermore, the arrival of thousands of American soldiers, coupled with the installation of dozens of military bases in North Africa, Italy, Southern France, and Corsica, was accompanied by the establishment of various administrative structures by the United States to ensure a return to order and to set up a kind of "Pax Americana" according to their own interests. The interactions of these soldiers with the local populations sometimes lead to tensions. The aim, from a comparative perspective, is to go beyond the simple military dimension and broaden the study of this theater of operations to include political, economic, social, and cultural fields.

    Au commencement était un récit… dénouements possibles pour une histoire tue

    Francophonies itinérantes – Colloque international 2022

    Maïssa Bey a toujours conçu son activité comme un labeur pour faire sortir du silence les voix des victimes oubliées, tout comme de leurs bourreaux, de l’histoire de l’Algérie. Nous souhaitons organiser un moment de rencontre, de réflexion et d’échange autour de l’œuvre de Maïssa Bey, aussi dans une perspective de comparaison avec d'autres écrivain·e·s, en posant une simple question : comment arrive-t-elle à écrire les blancs de l’histoire de l’Algérie ? Notre but est de faire dialoguer des chercheurs et chercheuses qui s’inscrivent dans une pluralité d’approches en sciences humaines et sociales (historiens, littéraires, sociologues, anthropologues, psychanalystes, etc.).
