  Translation: A political commitment?

  Translation, as it is determined by a socio-historical, political and subjective context, is not, has never been, and cannot be a neutral operation. It involves the choices, positioning and commitment of all the participants concerned. Therefore, we can ask ourselves: is the translator, given these multiple dimensions, constrained, or tempted, whether unconsciously or consciously, to instill a certain measure of ideology in the performance of her task? How do commitment, ideology and translation interact? Ethics, deontology, morals? And in what way does this interlacing of determinations constitute a political commitment of the act of translation, even more than that of the translator.

  Decolonization and postcolonial issues of childhood and youth (1945-1980)

  While young people played a large role in building colonial empires, they were also an essential concern in decolonization. Indeed, the emancipation process of colonized peoples in the second half of the twentieth century raised with great force the social and political issue of children and young people in the colonial and post-colonial context, both in newly-independent and ex-colonizing countries. In a complex set of political and diplomatic, economic and social, demographic and populationist, philosophical and religious questions, colonial and post-colonial issues surrounding children and young people gave rise to specific biopolitics. Children and young people were subjects of policies desired or supported by biopowers and implemented by varied protagonists such as armies, organizations, humanitarians, colonialists, activists, or regular citizens.

  The epistemology of drawing (2017-2018)

  Concepts, readings and interpretations - 19th-21st century

  Réfléchir aux fondements du dessin – lieu d’inspiration pour l’artiste, « activateur de pensée », projection de fantasmes artistiques, trace balbutiante de compositions « in progress », transcription brute d’imaginaires figurés, « premier jet » graphique d’abstractions conceptuelles, vérification « sur pièces » d’hypothèses rêvées, essai visant à tester la capacité réalisatrice, aboutissement d’utopies intangibles par d’autres techniques, etc. – autant que poser les pratiques et usages sociaux du dessin – intimité secrète d’une œuvre à l’amont de son processus, circulation d’une ébauche servant de modèles aux disciples, projet destiné aux commanditaires, fondement de l’enseignement artistique au XIX^e siècle, objet de convoitise des collectionneurs, trace mobile aisément reproductible, etc. –, inscrit le débat d’idées à la frontière de l’histoire de l’art, de la génétique et de l’histoire culturelle.
