  Picturing Tomorrow: Future-directed Imagination in American Art

  How do we understand the concept of the future? Is it inevitable and shaped by a long sequence of events and interconnected chance occurrences? Or do we conceive of it as something that is determined by our actions and decisions in the present day? Is it a pure potentiality, a promise of a radically different world and yet unimaginable existence? Or is it something that is forever unreachable, something that defines our experience of the present as a perpetual state of deferral and transience?

  Our Time Has Come

  Towards Transatlantic and Transdisciplinary Approaches to Black Counter-Representations, from 1945 until Today

  The central goal of this conference lies thus in the investigation of the multiplicity of visual representations produced by the Black population and diaspora between France and the United States in the second half of the 20th century. In particular, we invite researchers to focus on productions which have challenged—directly or indirectly—the traditional canon for Black representations. Of particular interest in this conference are examples demonstrating a visual/ideologic rupture with depreciative models that permeated the public imagination in the West, whether they be positive counter-models or new visual representations aiming to critically subvert formerly pejorative representational frames.

  Analysing intersectionality in cinema. The circulation of a concept in France and the United States

En reliant économie du cinéma, cultural studies et approche esthétique, nous souhaitons développer trois angles de réflexion emblématiques de la spécificité du cinéma comme un art, une industrie et un rapport aux différents publics.
