  Markings and erasures in Jewish memory in contemporary narratives

  Comment peut-on, pour reprendre l’expression d’Amos Oz et de sa fille, Fania Oz-Salzberger, être « juifs par les mots » ? C’est cette interrogation que ce colloque international se propose d’étudier à partir d’œuvres littéraires contemporaines diverses dans leurs genres et dans leurs langues. Il s’agira donc, davantage que d’interroger les liens entre judaïsme et littérature, d’explorer les liens entre judéïté et récit. S’il est capital de s’écarter de tout essentialisme, il est aussi nécessaire de s’interroger sur l’évolution de la mémoire d’une tradition dont le récit littéraire continue de se faire l’écho jusqu’à nos jours. On s'intéressera particulièrement aux questions suivantes : mémoire et oubli dans le récit ; judéité et traditions nationales ; rapport à la langue et aux langues. On privilégiera les perspectives les plus contemporaines.

  IV International Conference of Myth Criticism

  Myth and Emotions

  Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

  Etty Hillesum. One hundred years later (1914-2014)

  International Conference

  Esther (Etty) Hillesum writings are a crucial historical document, as they report on the extreme evil of racial persecutions and life in lagers. They are a reflection on the value and the meaning of life, love and death. The International Conference “Etty Hillesum. Cento anni dopo (1914-2014)” (December 9-10, 2014, at Ca' Foscari University in Venice, Italy) aims to assess the works of this important witness from the 20th century.
