18th issue of "Verbum et Lingua"
Issue 18 of Verbum et Lingua will publish research and reflection articles on Situated Teaching. We welcome articles that focus on the various emerging pedagogical practices in language teaching that embrace experiential, reflective practice, situated projects,problem-based learning, etc. This paradigm presents new challenges for schools, teachers and learners and raises a series of questions: What consequences does this pedagogical proposal imply for teachers, both in their training and in their practice? What consequences does it represent for the learner? How does it transform the school in its relationship with society?

Verbum et Lingua journal - issue devoted to Peter Handke
The 17th issue of the journal Verbum et Lingua will publish contributions on the Austrian-born Nobel Prize winner (2019) Peter Handke. Works are expected on all his work: from the very early experimental type and his intermediate phase in which he returns to the traditional forms of epic narrative and literary models with a clear philosophical influence. In the last part of his work, wide poetry of the narrative that links all the texts to each other stands out. Among the main themes of his work, the reality of war, the relationship between image and writing, text and film, and the social and media development of modernity predominate.

Staging heritage in the Germanophone space
Cette journée d'étude doctorale veut interroger de quelles manières est mis en scène un héritage, qu'il soit politique, littéraire, artistique ou familial ; et quelles sont les spécificités de ces mises en scène au sein de l'espace germanophone. Les contributions présentées et les échanges qui auront lieu lors de cette manifestation permettront de questionner le concept de mise en scène, tout en soulignant la pluralité des héritages et de leurs articulations dans l'espace germanophone.

Organitechnosciences. Invective dynamics of a paradigm shift
Since the second half of the 20th century, a fundamental paradigm shift can be observed in the scientific discourses of various disciplines: The separation between the organic and the technical, which has shaped the "Western" history of ideas for centuries seems to have been abolished. This paradigm shift - from separation to hybridization - turns out to be a multifaceted process and becomes the scene of a contested terrain, also in literary studies. The discussion will focus on organic-technical figures of thought in German-language texts from the Middle Ages to contemporary literature.

Figures and Perspectives on the Mass and the Individual in Capitalist Modernity (19th-21st century)
How is it possible to use the notion of mass without making it collapse into a complete condemnation of collective action or into an acritical celebration of the crowd? From there on, the relationship between mass and individual can be addressed in many fashions: Are there any specific ways for the mass to organize itself as a political subject? What are means whereby artworks represent and transform the linkage between mass and individual? What are the mutations undergone by the mass qua object of the social sciences? How does capitalist modernity affect the moral and psychic autonomy of individuals?

From ritual to myth: Carnival in European culture
D’où vient la profonde exigence sociale du carnaval et quels sont les thèmes et les motifs que cette tradition a fait émerger dans notre héritage culturel et artistique ? Du drame bouffon à la farce et à la grande tradition de la commedia dell’arte italienne, des observations de Goethe sur le carnaval de Rome aux compositions de Schumann (Carnaval, op. 9) et de Saint-Saëns (Le Carnaval des Animaux), jusqu’à la peinture de Brueghel l’Ancien, Monet, Pissarro et Elrond, le carnaval a fasciné de nombreux auteurs. Le but de ce colloque est de recueillir et de combiner des idées innovatrices pour l’analyse ou la reformulation de ce mythe, en créant un pont entre les perspectives de lecture les plus diverses dans le domaine des humanités.

Denunciation or dissimulation? Medical error in Antiquity and the Middle Ages
Greece, Rome, Egypt, Near-East
Mediator, Depakine, Thalidomides, contaminated blood, breast implants... health scandals over the past fifty years have regularly focused general attention on the problem of medical risk. They have raised many questions, abundantly relayed by the different media, showing us how crucial and complex the question of medical error is: where did the error come from? But before becoming a scandal, medical error has also been an inherent risk in the practice of medicine, since its very beginning. A mistake in diagnosis, prognosis or therapy, no matter how small, can have disastrous consequences for the doctor and the patient if not detected and corrected. Far from the huge media coverage of current health scandals, what is the status of medical error in ancient medicines and what are its issues?

Between Life and Existence. Nietzsche and French Existentialism
Our symposium therefore aims to close this research gap by including all relevant disciplines (philosophy, literary studies, history of ideas ...). Contributions can deal with biographical aspects of the subject (to what extent did the French existentialists really read Nietzsche?), comparisons of the respective philosophies, or with questions pertaining to the topicality of the theses and matters discussed. We endeavor to cover the travel and accommodation costs for the speakers, but cannot guarantee them at the present time.

The reception of the Spanish Golden Age in Germanophone countries
Le colloque propose de s’interroger, de manière diachronique et comparatiste, sur la chronologie, les formes et les enjeux de la réception du Siècle d’Or dans les pays germanophones : Certaines périodes et certains genres se sont-ils révélés particulièrement propices à ces échanges ? Dans quel contexte (politique, culturel, idéologique) ? Qui sont les médiateurs favorisant cette réception (des traducteurs, des artistes, des mécènes, des voyageurs, des écrivains…) ? Quelles images de l’autre pays ont-ils transmises dans leurs œuvres ? Quelles fonctions la réception du Siècle d’Or a-t-elle eues (enjeux esthétiques, idéologiques…) ? Quelle en a été la fécondité ?
