  Urban mythologies and migrations

  Le colloque « Mythologies urbaines et migrations », organisé par le CRINI du 10 au 12 décembre 2015, s’inscrit dans le cadre d’une réflexion portant à la fois sur l’interculturalité, en s’attachant à la rencontre et à la reconnaissance de cultures plurielles, et sur la transculturalité, en privilégiant l’échange et la création entre ces cultures, dans une dynamique créatrice cherchant à dépasser les barrières culturelles. Cette approche permettra de recentrer la réflexion sur les concepts d'interculturalité et de transculturation et leurs dimensions créative concernant notamment les aires américanistes (aires anglophone et hispanophone), anglicistes, germanistes, hispanistes, italianistes, et les comparatistes.

  Indigenous native sovereignties: monarchies, principalities, and empires in the Atlantic worlds

  America and Africa, 15th-19th century

  This conference, therefore, seeks to draw up the current state of research on this subject, and to bring together researchers in the humanities and social sciences, and law in particular, on the subject of indigenous sovereignty. The goal is to understand the parallel and related constructions of sovereignty on both sides of the Atlantic, from the end of the Middle Ages and its regimes of governance during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, up to the aftermath of the political experiences of the "Atlantic Revolutions" that ushered in new relationships to authority in the first half of the nineteenth century. The perspective adopted here should be seen less as static and focusing on a single, immunizing description of an exotic externality, and more as fundamentally involved in the particular construction of modern European sovereignty. The creation of that sovereignty was profoundly associated with issues that were raised or reopened by the world’s new geographic, religious, and political horizons.
