  Defining European Eco-criticism

  The aim of this international conference is to make visible the variegated sprouting of European Eco-criticism —a name that is given as a working hypothesis for the time being. American-born Eco-criticism seems to be gradually filtering into Old World languages and cultural contexts ; but it has different meanings in different places. Hence, an assessment of this major theoretical transduction appears to be highly opportune. The goal is to give a geographical dimension to this framework, and contributors are invited to investigate national, regional, and local particularities of eco-literature, be it in the guise of fiction, non-fiction, or criticism, bearing in mind that literatures outside the English-speaking world will be given priority.

  The processes of transmission in migrant or immigrant families

  Comparative perspectives in European Union countries

  S’interrogeant sur le concept de « transmission » dans le champ de la sociologie ou de l’histoire de l’immigration, l’on peut se référer à cette observation de Max Weber : « Toutes les différences de "mœurs" peuvent alimenter un sentiment spécifique de l’"honneur" et de la "dignité" chez ceux qui les pratiquent. On oublie les motifs originels qui ont donné naissance aux diverses habitudes de vie et les contrastes se perpétuent en tant que "conventions". » Près d’un siècle plus tard, ce constat est-il toujours d’actualité ? C’est ce que ce colloque se propose de vérifier, en convoquant autour du syntagme « processus de transmission » les différents champs disciplinaires de la recherche migratoire.

  Processus de transmission dans les familles de migrants ou issues de l'immigration

  Regards croisés dans les États de l'Union européenne

  Asking oneself questions on the concept of « transmission » in the field of sociology or history of immigration, one can refer to Max Weber’s observation: “All differences in ‘customs’ can feed a specific feeling of ‘honor’ and ‘dignity’ within those who carry them out. One can forget the original motives that gave birth to diverse lifestyles and the contrasts continue being perpetuated as ‘conventions’.” (Economie et Société, Vol.2, Pocket 1995, p. 128) Nearly a century later, can this observation still be considered as a topical subject? It is exactly this question that the conference offers to verify, summoning around the syntagm “process of transmission” the different disciplinary fields of migratory research.
