    Defining and defying the concept of deviance and degeneration in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century

    This one-day conference aims at exploring the definition(s) and contours of deviance and degeneration as it was conceived in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century. PhD students, postgraduate students and junior scholars whose research pertains to the study of deviant groups, whether self-defined or not, are particularly welcome to participate. Speakers will be invited to focus on the processes of definition of the standards of normality – whether religious, social, political, legal, medicalor sexual – as well as what those processes entailed for those who were labelled ‘deviants’. The role of scientists, doctors but also political authorities is of considerable interest in this respect, as are the ways in which normative standards were circumvented and challenged.

    « Dollhouse » et « Firefly »

    Philoséries « Philosopher avec les séries télévisées » épisode n°8

    Le colloque annuel « Philosopher avec les séries télévisées » avait jusqu’à présent principalement proposé de travailler selon un mode à la fois monographique et interdisciplinaire sur une série déterminée (24h chrono, The West Wing, Lost...). Si nous renouons par ce colloque avec Joss Whedon qui avait ouvert le cycle en 2009 (Buffy contre les vampires), nous inaugurons une nouvelle formule en proposant à l’analyse deux séries distinctes qui ont en commun, outre leur créateur Joss Whedon, d’être des séries écourtées de science-fiction : tandis que les précédentes séries étudiées avaient pu se déployer sur plusieurs années, Firefly ne comporte qu’une seule saison de 14 épisodes (2002) et un film (Serenity, 2005), et Dollhouse (sur laquelle nous avons déjà tenu un atelier en 2014) comporte deux saisons de 26 épisodes en tout (2009-10).

    Heritage and Ruptures

    10th Annual and International Colloquium of the Society of Activities and Research on the Indian World

    In the postcolonial theoretical framework, the study of heritage and ruptures is a rather familiar paradigm. But it is not a depleted paradigm. Given the millennial history of the Indian subcontinent and the plurality of its culture, the way its languages, literatures and arts appropriate the past, grasp the present and envisage the future remains a relevant object for inquiry. From the crossroads of diachronicity and synchronicity, tradition and modernity, singularity and solidarity, here and elsewhere, repetition and reinvention, the 10th annual SARI conference to be held on the 28th and 29th May 2015 at the Université Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense and on the 30th May 2015 at the université Paris 13, Sorbonne Paris Cité, will be devoted to the exploration of this topic from an inter and pluridisciplinary perspective.
