  “Literary Offenses” and Other Contentious Matter

  This one-day conference will address the subject of controversial or polemical texts such as reviews, essays, letters, prefaces and/or postfaces published between 1800 and 1900 in Britain and the United States. It seeks to open fresh approaches to controversies or polemics by focusing on literature and the literary aspects of these questions. Indeed, if controversy can be defined as a debate between two or more parties with different viewpoints before an audience, studies have mainly come from the fields of social sciences and science studies, with some interest in rhetoric and/or argumentation. However, literary controversies are as important as scientific ones for the constitution of the public, democratic debate as it was shaped in Britain and in the U.S. in the nineteenth century. Controversies and polemics contributed to legitimizing some literary genres; they gave publicity to new or avant-garde authors; they redefined the content and contours of the public debate.

  Religious horizons - the religious world of Bussy-Rabutin and fellows

  L'univers religieux de Bussy-Rabutin et des siens

  La Société des amis de Bussy-Rabutin et le Centre de Recherches sur l’Europe Classique (CEREC) de l'université de Bordeaux poursuivent l'exploration des horizons de l'auteur de l'Histoire amoureuse des Gaules. Il s'agit à la fois de préciser la religion d'un « libertin repenti » ainsi que ses rapports avec des membres de l'Église (Mgr de Roquette, le P. de La Chaise, les PP. Rapin et Bouhours...), et de prendre en compte l'apport des ordres religieux et des bénéfices à la consolidation de la position de sa famille et à l'établissement de ses enfants.
