  Societies confronted by terror (from 1960 to the present day): discourse, memory and identity

  Ce colloque a pour objectif de réunir des spécialistes de différents domaines (civilisationnistes, historiens, linguistes, sémioticiens historiens de l’art, politologues, spécialistes des médias, de littérature,) autour d’un sujet qui, avec des pics d’acuité variables, a été au centre même de la vie des sociétés occidentales depuis les années 60. Il s’agira de déterminer comment ces sociétés réagissent à travers la production de discours spécifiques à la déstabilisation recherchée par le terrorisme. Le colloque se propose donc d’établir, par la voie contrastive, une cartographie de ces discours de résistance et de combat, et de mettre en lumière aussi bien les invariants que les différences irréductibles qui tiennent à la multiplicité des contextes et des acteurs ainsi qu'à la longévité du phénomène.

  Immigration in the Electoral Rhetoric of the Americas

  While immigration has always been an important issue in the election debates, the current centrality of this topic invite us to question its rhetoric power (evocative terms, objectives pursued, instrumental efficiency…). Beyond the political scenes of Canada and United States (main arenas), will also be considered critical readings of electoral experiences in the Latin-American political world. This workshop will aim to shed the light on this matter in order to question (through politics, sociology, economics, law, history…) the reminiscence of what seems to be a modern form of identity resurgence in a specific framework: the electoral arena campaign, a real national trajectory catalyst.
