The emergence of video art in Europe: Historiography, theory, sources and archives (1960-1980)
À ce jour, à l’échelle de l’Europe, une histoire de l’art vidéo demeure donc à faire. C’est la mission à laquelle le présent programme de recherche entend répondre. Un réseau international, regroupant à la fois des historiens de l’art et de l’image en mouvement, des artistes, des protagonistes de cette aventure, des dépositaires de fonds d’archives, des conservateurs et de jeunes chercheurs, s’est constitué. Il a pour objectif de collecter des données sur les artistes, les œuvres et les événements qui ont permis l’avènement de cette pratique, ou qui ont compté dans son développement sur le territoire européen, et de mettre au jour les conditions nationales spécifiques de production et de diffusion permettant d'expliquer la variété des productions comme la disparité des périodes d'émergences (1960-1980).

Post-soviet diaspora(s) in Western Europe (1991-2017)
Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, millions of former soviet citizens crossed the national borders in search of better lives in new countries, in what was the biggest migration tide since the end of World War II. These Post-Soviet migrants were diverse in origins, strategies and expectations. They often represented a challenge to the orthodox views of migration processes, since in most cases these flows could not be easily described and analysed following commonly accepted theoretical frameworks. Everybody seemed to be on the move: labour migrants, political refugees, cross-border traders, “tourists” planning to forget their return... and in a short period, they spread all over Western Europe.

Russian Formalism - forty years later. Communications journal
Revue « Communications »
Actif à partir de 1914 le formalisme a, enfin, été proche des avant-gardes artistiques russes à ses débuts. C’est sur cette question que, pour les besoins d’un numéro de la revue Communications qui sera consacré au formalisme, nous sollicitons des propositions d’articles qui puissent faire le point des expositions qui ont eu lieu en 2016 et 2017 autour des avant-gardes artistiques russes dont le formalisme a été le contemporain.

The genesis of history and documentary museums
Second part: the first 20th century
Après une première journée d’étude consacrée en 2016 à l'émergence et à l'inégal succès du concept de musée documentaire au XIXe siècle, cette seconde journée sera consacrée au premier XXe siècle. Son objectif est de mettre en lumière une culture commune de la mémoire documentaire des sociétés contemporaines en croisant les exemples sur une échelle internationale, en montrant les transferts de savoirs et de techniques documentaires et en retraçant l’évolution parallèle ou commune du statut toujours ambigu du « document ».

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders
2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

1917-2017: Comparative Looks on the Soviet Artistic Avant-Gardes
The Soviet artistic avant-gardes have been raising a specific interest for a long time. For instance, their multiple practices, their theoretical apparatus, their opuses as well as the influences they exerted have been largely surveyed by the academic world. Ever since the 1990’s a reappraisal of the multiple reuses and reinterpretations of those “avant-gardes” have been carried out. Our international symposium aims to question and put into context that reappraisal and the renewal it induces in the field of scholarly research. The year 2017 as an historical landmark, the centenary of the Russian revolutions, offers a conducive environment for such reflections and thoughts. While evocating various and contradictory narratives, this centenary leads to rethink the vast array of meanings embodied by the revolutionary events as well as to shed a new light on the opuses they produced or lived through.

Experiences and singular imagery in conflict and post-conflict situations
Ce colloque est l’aboutissement d’un premier travail de recherche et de rencontre conduit avec des cinéastes et militants filmant de manière atypique les situations de conflits et post-conflits depuis plusieurs années ou décennies. L’objectif de ce colloque est donc de confronter les pratiques et les engagements d’artistes et de chercheurs enquêtant sur diverses situations de mobilisations ou de résistances armées, et sur la mémoire et l’amnésie constitutive de l’expérience historique des situations de post-conflits. Ces pratiques filmiques peuvent aussi inspirer les sciences sociales par leurs positions et leurs observations au plus proche des expériences de leurs interlocuteurs. En plaçant les travaux de ces cinéastes au centre des interventions, ce colloque entend aussi réinterroger les modes de savoir et les constructions de sens produits par l’image.

Quantification / approximation and nominal groups: trees and forests
La journée se propose de réunir des linguistes intéressés par les différents aspects de la quantification et de l’approximation, si ce n’est par l’interface entre les deux problématiques, tant dans la sphère du groupe nominal (GN), que par l’intermédiaire de GN (intégrés à des syntagmes adverbiaux à portée émargeant éventuellement le domaine du GN : adverbiaux qui quantifient sur le temps ou sur les événements, approximateurs en tous genres, à portée y compris nominale). Nous employons à bon escient le terme de groupe nominal pour ce qu’il a de vague, en référence à l’analyse en constituants immédiats (syntagme déterminant (SD) à tête fonctionnelle D vs syntagme nominal SN à spécificateur SD).

History, Memory and Reshaping Identity in Post-Communist Literatures
CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture Journal, special issue, December 2017
This volume is intended for both scholars and a general readership interested in contemporary aspects of post-communist literatures from East-Central Europe which witness a special relation between History, Memory and reshaped identity (be it personal or collective). Papers are invited to analyze strategies of remembering communism in different types of discourse, from autobiographical recollections to collective representations which re-define the post-traumatic status of the Eastern intellectuals in relation to the "rediscovered" West and their transition dilemmas.

War without weapons - refugees and prisoners on the Austro-Italian front (1915-1918)
Réfugiés et prisonniers du front austro-italien (1915-1918)
Ce colloque est le deuxième d’un programme de recherches sur la guerre austro-italienne qui a donné lieu à une conférence à Padoue (19-21 mai 2016) intitulée « Soldats et quotidien de guerre sur l’Isonzo ». Le second volet de ce programme est consacré aux aspects proprement austro-italiens des expériences des populations désarmées, et plus spécifiquement par une réflexion autour de trois catégories : les prisonniers, les réfugiés et les populations civiles à proximité des zones de front. Le colloque propose d’articuler dans une perspective bilatérale les expériences de ces trois catégories de population autour de la mise en perspective des enjeux aussi bien publics que privés, locaux aussi bien que régionaux ou nationaux.

Men in Eastern Europe – Ruptures, Transformations, and Continuities in the 20th Century
Our main objectives are to reconsider the state of the art and discuss new ways for writing a history of masculinities under socialism. The central questions of the workshop are: Which role were men and fathers to play in the construction of a “new” socialist family? How where masculinities transformed in socialist movements and state-socialist countries? The workshop is interested, on the one hand, in the ideologies and the utopian reflexions of the place of men in a future communist society. On the other hand, it aims at questioning the everyday life of socialist men and fathers, as well as the everyday life of men and fathers living under socialism.

One century after the Bolshevik Revolution
Towards a “French History” of Soviet Heritage ? 1917-2017
Ce colloque se propose, à l’occasion du centenaire de la révolution d’Octobre 1917, de penser cet événement au regard des productions monumentales dont il a été à l’origine, et de mener une réflexion sur les enjeux multiples que soulèvent les traces encore présentes de l’Union soviétique dans tout son espace d’expansion et jusqu’en Île-de-France.
