  Arrival cities: Migrating artists and new metropolitan topographies

  Focusing on the intersections of exile, artistic practice and urban space, this international conference brings together researchers committed to revising the historiography of ‘modern’ art. Part of the ERC research project Relocating Modernism: Global Metropolises, Modern Art and Exile (METROMOD), it addresses metropolitan areas that were settled by migrant artists in the first half of the 20^th century.

  Migrations: our voices and intersecting paths

  Where the arts, sciences and campaigning meet

  Les migrations sont structurantes de nos sociétés, qu’elles ont constituées de tout temps et avec constance. Pourtant, une véritable réflexion sur les voies légales d’entrée sur les territoires ne semble pas s’enclencher et se limite au contraire à une politique de durcissement de l’asile, à un discours de plus en plus polarisé et à une gestion urgentiste et sécuritaire des « flux ».  Tandis que l’urgence et la complexité de la situation s’imposent, des discours et des images spectaculaires et sensationnalistes qui réduisent la migration à des traversées massives, incontrôlables et tragiques, et engendrent des sentiments d’invasion et d’insécurité.

  ReFocus: The Films of Rachid Bouchareb

  Rachid Bouchareb was born in Paris in 1953 to Algerian parents and became one of France’s first French filmmakers of North African descent. While his career now spans over thirty years and his diverse films have garnered both mainstream and critical success, including three Oscar nominations, there exists no book-length study (in French or English) on Bouchareb’s body of work. The director’s films are remarkably varied in their themes, formal elements, and narrative settings, from Senegal, England, Vietnam, and Algeria, to France, Belgium, Turkey, and the United States.

  The encounter between the arts, sciences and militancies

  Du 22 au 28 octobre 2018 se tiendra, à Marseille, une rencontre autour de tables-rondes, expositions, projections, spectacles. Ce croisement des pratiques, créations et réflexions cherchera à explorer comment imaginer de nouvelles manières de rendre visible les migrations, d’entendre la voix migrante. Face à l’urgence et à la complexité des situations, face à un modèle sociétal qui oscille entre images spectaculaires et mesures restrictives, nous souhaitons en effet nous poser ensemble la question de notre responsabilité : comment sortir du « grand spectacle » politique et médiatique pour penser nos productions de façon à « dire la vérité du mieux possible » (N. Chomsky) ?

  Dialectics of Dread and Refuge

  Theatre, Performance and Philosophy Working Group (TaPRA Conference)

  In A Grammar of the Multitude, Paolo Virno discriminates between the Kantian view of the dialectic of dread and refuge, which is based on a distinction between particular danger and absolute danger (also articulated by Heidegger through the distinction between fear and anguish) and the collapse of this distinction in the post-Fordist world, in which "the dividing line between fear and anguish, between relative dread and absolute dread, is precisely what has failed." (Virno 2004, 32) If post-Fordist institutions rely on a culture of pervasive dread – manifest as fear and anxiety – how do we resist this nearly intangible culture today? Arguably, we are moving beyond the sort of entrenched paralysis Virno speaks of, towards a new sort of political breakthrough, a manner of imagining life not determined by institutional cultures of fear and anxiety. Yet much thinking needs still to be done around the ways in which we engage in concerted resistance: do we fight within institutional walls – and if so, how do we resist systems of perpetual visibilisation – the gaze of securitization that renders us so exposed? What does this fight look like? Do we exit – and if so, where to? Is there a new underground?

  Memory, power and resistance - the peasantry, countryside and Indian identity in the cinema and photography of Latin America

  Cette journée d’études propose d’examiner la production d’images fixes et en mouvement de la ruralité paysanne et de l’indianité de l’Amérique latine, région dans laquelle deux sociétés-mémoires (Pierre Nora), paysanne et indienne, sont menacées non seulement dans leur existence mais aussi dans les représentations qu’elles se font d’elles-mêmes (George Didi-Huberman).
