  Comics and sport

  During the final talks of the fruitful international conference named “body languages in comics” set up by the junior drawn sciences laboratory of the Ecole normale supérieure (ENS) in Lyon on 8th and 9th October 2014, the idea to carry on, in a more precise way, the numerous debates on the occasion of a later scientific event was mentioned. In light of this, the C3S laboratory (“culture, sport, health and society”) of the University of Bourgogne/Franche-Comté organises holding an international symposium in order to study how sport is depicted in comics. Researchers in the C3S laboratory dedicate their work to sport sciences with a theoretical and epistemological commitment marked by interdisciplinarity. According to this stance, the international conference is open to various contributions allowing to understand the representations (whether they be historical, sociological, anthropological, literary, semiotic, psychological…etc…) of sport in comics.

  Boethius revisited

  The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time

  With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.

  Literature and democratic transitions: case studies

  Literaturas y transiciones democráticas: estudio de casos

  Depuis plus d’une vingtaine d’années, la question des rapports de la littérature et de la démocratie se pose dans un contexte de renouvellement de l’intérêt pour la nature des liens qu’entretiennent la littérature et la politique, mais aussi de reconfiguration des questionnements que les sciences humaines et sociales adressent à la littérature, qu’elles la tiennent pour l’exemple déjà réalisé d’organisations cognitives et de catégorisations politiques et morales, pour un savoir social, pour une forme de connaissance ou de philosophie pratique, etc. Les transitions démocratiques intervenues depuis le milieu des années 1970 en Europe du Sud, en Amérique latine, en Asie, en Europe de l’Est à partir de 1989, et dans certains pays arabes récemment ne sont pas étrangères à ces interrogations. On se propose d’analyser précisément comment la littérature s’est trouvée mêlée à ces processus historiques, d’étudier la manière dont elle peut participer d’une logique de formulation de la démocratie.
