  The evaluation of theoretical approaches of the analysis of civil conflict in Africa

  81st ACFAS conference

  Dans une approche pluridisciplinaire, ce colloque envisage moins de proposer de nouvelles hypothèses explicatives qu’une évaluation critique des nombreuses hypothèses concurrentes sur l’analyse des conflits en Afrique. Outre une contribution à la recherche académique sur les lumières et les ombres des analyses des conflits en Afrique, ce colloque entend également contribuer à une meilleure épistémologie ainsi qu’à une meilleure méthodologie de l’étude des conflits civils tout en prenant en compte les dynamiques des sociétés africaines ainsi que les enjeux géopolitiques et stratégiques de ces conflits.

  American Art in Dialogue with Africa and the African Diaspora

  Since the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, Africa has played an important — albeit shifting, contested, and often unseen — role in the history of art of the United States. Conference organizers seek original, innovative scholarship investigating heretofore unexamined aspects of this transatlantic dialogue, from the visual culture of slavery and abolitionism to American modernism; from the Black Arts Movement to the contemporary art world.

  Economists and colonies

  Charles Gide association study days

  Depuis les conseillers du Prince qui s’intéressaient déjà, au XVIe siècle, aux relations entre une métropole et ses colonies, jusqu’aux spécialistes contemporains des petits territoires dépendants, insulaires ou autre, la question coloniale n’a cessé d’intéresser et de diviser. Certaines des questions débattues sont purement économiques, d’autres se rattachent également à la politique (exclusif, navigation…) ou à la morale (esclavage, réparation des crimes éventuels de la colonisation). Le champ est donc très vaste pour une recension critique des positions en présence et de leur évolution au cours des cinq derniers siècles, qui sont aussi ceux de l’émergence et du développement de l’économie politique.

  Beyond French New Languages for African Diasporic Literature

  In recent years, Africans from former French colonies in both the Maghreb and Sub-Saharan regions have been settling in countries other than France and writing in languages other than French. This break with the colonial and postcolonial habits of la Françafrique – the familiar bind of metropole and colony – has been going on for years and is now ripe for analysis. Writing in German, Italian, Dutch, Catalan, Spanish, English, and other languages, these authors suggest new patterns of diasporic belonging and raise new questions about the postcolonial world. Issues of immigration, language choice, cosmopolitanism, global citizenship, and world literature will be addressed.
