Foucault, discipline and penal history in the United States
Près d'un demi-siècle après la publication de Surveiller et punir le maître-livre de Michel Foucault sur la naissance de la prison et la « discipline », et à l'occasion du congrès annuel de l'Association française des études américaines (AFEA) à Nantes du 21 au 24 mai 2019 dont le thème est « Discipline et indiscipline », nous souhaitons revisiter les apports et les limites de la théorie foucaldienne pour expliquer l'histoire carcérale et pénale des États-Unis. Nous recherchons des contributions sur ce thème (en français ou en anglais) en civilisation américaine, histoire, sociologie, géographie, anthropologie ou philosophie politique.

Representations of Rurality in Crime Fiction and Media Culture
Interdisciplinary Approaches to "Setting the Scene"
The Institute for Collaborative Research in the Humanities at Queen’s University organises a two day Symposium in June 2015 (15 & 16th) as part of its theme of "Creativity in Imagined and Material Worlds". Devoted to representations of the rural, it will bring together studies in crime fiction and media culture looking at a variety of outlets such as fiction, film, television, comics, games and many others and inspect their various engagements with the concept of "rurality". Interdisciplinary papers are welcomed, but not contained to, Anthropology, Modern Languages, English, Film and Media Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Historical/Cultural/Rural Geography, Sociology, Spatial Planning. By bringing together an interdisciplinary group we will address how cultural constructions of the rural often ‘set the scene’ for crime fiction.
