    Writing the native country - the literature of proximity in the European French-speaking space

    The literature of proximity in the European French-speaking space (1880-1980)

    Ce colloque vise à définir, nommer et mieux comprendre les pratiques littéraires présentant une inscription spatiale et/ou une proximité sociale entre un auteur et ses contemporains. Sans se limiter à l’étude de genres précis (roman, théâtre, poésie, presse…), il s’agira de chercher à comprendre les enjeux littéraires et sociaux que ces pratiques littéraires du proche impliquent.

    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.

    What is Border Studies?

    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.

    Call for papers - Representation

    Northernness: concepts, representations, images

    Ce colloque s’intéressera aux représentations du Nord dans la littérature et les arts européens. Il s’agira de comparer ces représentations chez les artistes et auteurs nordiques, mais aussi les autres Européens, et ainsi tenter de mieux cerner les différents concepts et modèles de nordicité. On s’interrogera sur les caractéristiques du concept pluriel de nordicité et sur la possibilité d’en retracer la généalogie, on s’intéressera aussi bien aux différents modèles de nordicité qui émergent au XIXe siècle qu’à leur évolution et leur transformation au cours des XXe et XXIe siècles.

    The birth of military cinemas (1914-1930)

    À l'occasion du centenaire de la première guerre mondiale, ce colloque a pour but d'analyser la naissance des services cinématographiques militaires qui éclosent dans le monde au tournant des années 1914-1918. Il s'agira de travailler davantage sur la genèse et l’évolution des structures spécialisées dans la production d'images animées au profit des armées et des États que sur les productions et leurs contenus.
