  The Franciscans in Mexico

  Five Centuries of Cultural Influence

  Generations of scholars have studied the multi-faceted experiences of the Franciscans in Mexico and the ways in which the Franciscan order shaped New Spain and the early Mexican republic. This conference examines the range of Franciscan influence and analyzes new scholarship that focuses on the multiple discourses with which friars engaged native peoples, creole populations, the vice-regal authorities, and other actors throughout the Spanish empire.  The conference brings together junior and senior scholars to study the long Franciscan experience in Mexico on the eve of the commemoration of the quincentenary of the Spanish — and thus the Franciscan— presence in Mexico.

  Power and media, media power Insights on the Americas

  Insights on the Americas

  For its 11th issue, RITA proposes to interrogate the links between power and media in the Americas. Several areas of debate can be suggested, although they should not be considered as exclusive. Articles making a critical analysis of official media as well as opposition media, in varied historical and geographical contexts, will of course be welcome. Other articles may deal with the treatment of popular movements by the media. Critical reflections on the relationship between media and economic power are also encouraged. The Thema section can also include analysis of the current diversification of information media by focusing, for instance, on the emergence of “alternative” media on the Internet, or on the power of fake news over the construction of collective representations.

  The construction of theoretical discourse in the Middle Ages

  Theorica 5. Thinking translation in the Middle Ages

  Le programme de recherche « Theorica », initié en 2012, se propose de revisiter l’idée reçue selon laquelle le Moyen Âge serait un temps asystématique et par conséquent inapte à toute théorisation. Pour ce cinquième volet, le domaine retenu a été celui des discours sur la traduction, pour interroger la manière dont le Moyen Âge a ressenti le besoin de théoriser la traduction. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’appliquer les méthodes d’analyse de la traductologie contemporaine aux textes médiévaux mais bien d’interroger le regard porté sur la traduction par les théoriciens et/ou praticiens du Moyen Âge afin de dégager les différentes conceptions de la traduction qui s’opposaient à la fin du Moyen Âge.
