Ce colloque invite à réfléchir sur les relations réciproques entre la presse et la littérature africaine(s) au xxe et au xxie siècles. Depuis les bulletins coloniaux jusqu’aux revues en ligne en passant par les magazines illustrés et les grands quotidiens créés après les indépendances, le périodique a constitué, pour les écrivains issus d’Afrique, un support de publication décisif. Comment ces périodiques, parfois de grande diffusion, ont-ils nourri la production littéraire africaine, à travers des références et des débats intellectuels propres, la place du divertissement, de certaines rubriques et de formes littéraires courtes (poésie, conte), ou les interventions d’écrivain-e-s journalistes ou pigistes ?

Conference, symposium - Africa

Paper, airwaves, screen: from text to audience in African popular culture

This conference aims to reflect on the critical spaces of reading and listening that occur in and around popular cultural texts in Africa – from songs, magazines, romance fiction, and hip-hop lyrics, to blogs, facebook posts, and urban inscriptions. Drawing on the methods of cultural studies, material print cultures, and the sociology of reception, we seek to engage with the critical vocabulary generated by those spaces of reception at a time of transition for the book object and the reading practices which accompany it. How can this material be researched (archives, interviews, ethnographic observation, digitisation, databases)? How is/might it be integrated into teaching across disciplines?

Call for papers - America

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.

Journals of theatrical decentralisation

1945 to the late 20th century

La journée d'étude est consacrée aux revues, aux journaux, aux bulletins et aux autres supports éditoriaux qui ont systématiquement accompagné l’action théâtrale des foyers, petits ou grands, du théâtre de la décentralisation. Il s'agit de les observer en tant qu’entités autonomes, en tant que produits textuels et visuels porteurs d’un projet et non pas comme simples réceptacles d’informations. Nous examinerons leurs textes, leurs images, leurs structures éditoriales pour saisir dans l’immédiat, matérialisés dans les pages imprimés à cadence plus ou moins régulière, les enjeux et les contradictions des acteurs du mouvement de la décentralisation théâtrale.

The press in the official Balkan languages in France and the foreign-language press in the Balkan countries, throughout the 20th century

Call for papers - Language

Paper, waves and screens - from text to public in African popular culture

Les textes propres à une culture populaire africaine forment un abondant corpus composé de matériaux textuels, sonores, et visuels : depuis les chansons, les magazines, la littérature sentimentale, les paroles de hip-hop, jusqu’aux blogs et messages sur Facebook, en passant par les inscriptions urbaines ou les tro-tros à Accra. La culture populaire englobe aussi les nombreuses manières par lesquelles ces objets culturels sont reçus et interprétés, à une échelle locale, nationale, et/ou internationale . Ce domaine de recherche mobilise des méthodes propres aux études culturelles, à l’histoire matérielle de l’imprimé, ainsi qu’à la sociologie de la réception . Le matériau en question reste cependant relativement peu étudié et enseigné, du fait de difficultés d’accès et de débats méthodologiques persistants.
