  The borders of the French-speaking world

  Annual congress of the Société d’histoire coloniale française

  Le thème de cette année portera sur « les frontières francophones », ce qui permettra de considérer les périphéries de l’Empire français comme les éléments essentiels pour comprendre l’empire colonial français et ses habitants ; les zones et les points de contact sont également révélateurs des expériences coloniales. Cependant comme tous les ans, les propositions de communication sur d’autres aspects de l’histoire coloniale française seront également prises en considération.

  Boris Vian: an Artist “Outside the Norm”?

  In celebrating Boris Vian’s centennial in the birthplace of jazz, our conference wishes to pay a tribute to the author and his work by bringing him to the place that so powerfully struck his imagination. Vian’s Centennial is also an opportune moment to cast a new light on a multifaceted artist, in continuation of the meeting organized by Marc Lapprand (March 2020) whose project is to re-examine a body of work that has remained only marginally investigated. By focusing precisely on the notions of artistic freedom, irreverence, unconventionality and spontaneity, this conference aims to provide new directions in our interpretations of Vian. Given that playfulness and the rejection of the norm take on such an important part in Vian’s work, it comes as twist of irony that he trained as an engineer and became first employed by the Association Française de Normalisation (French Standardization Association).
