Canadian Communication Association (CCA) Annual Conference 2021

As a theme, “Northern Relations” encourages delegates to explore the connections between peoples, communities, cultures, and ways of knowing, while also listening to those voices that speak directly to some of the most pressing matters of relation (to the land, to each other) in the North: climate change, governance, social justice, reconciliation, reciprocity, education, and much more. A relation is not only an association and an affiliation, it is also an act of telling or reporting; relations are at the heart of how peoples communicate, organize knowledge, and understand their place in the world.

Borders

15th international conference of Francophone Studies, CIEFT 2021

Rien de plus politique que les frontières, en principe immuables, intouchables, casus belli entres tous les casus qui puissent surgir. La frontière implique : point de passage, interdiction, identité et altérité, diversité et différence, intérieur et extérieur, le mien et le nôtre contre le tien, le vôtre et le leur, acceptation et refus, fracture et création, entre(-)deux, coupure et lien, barrière et jonction, centre et périphérie, « non-lieu », traversée légale et illégale.

Intersectional Challenges in Afroeuropean Communities

8th Biennial Afroeuropeans Network Conference

The conference aims to consider how Afroeuropean communities are shaped by the intersections of ‘race’ and ethnicity with other markers of identification such as gender, class, sexuality, ability, age, citizenship status, language… Informed by intersectional thinking and its rejection of unidimensional perspectives in activism, policy and research, the conference explores how diverse processes of privileging and discrimination interact, making for complex and dynamic experiences of what it means to be Afroeuropean. It acknowledges that the racial and ethnic alterity of Afroeuropeans intersects with other identities (e.g. male, female, queer, working class, religious, disabled, aged…) and specifically seeks to examine to what extent these intersections create new alignments and opportunities.

Rethinking translation

Now that the scientific and political issues of our society belong to a world-system (Wallerstein, Arrighi, Amin), translation plays more than ever a central role in the circulation of texts and ideas. Translating is a cognitive and social activity that informs the way we relate to reality and to others. It implies a particular worldview and has cognitive, social, ethical and political effects. From this perspective, thinking and practicing translation as a neutral operation is a form of denial of its ethical and political significance. A model of translation as a simple transfer of meaning from one text to another is not acceptable given the complexity of the factors and actors involved. Hence the need to rethink translation in the light of contemporary issues.

Language and Performance: Moving across Discourses and Practices in a Globalized World

European Journal of Theatre and Performance

The European Journal of Theatre and Performance is inviting submissions for its next issue. Against the backdrop of a deeply diversified and often divided global stage, this issue wants to reconsider the fairly strenuous debate on the relationship between language and performance, which has surfaced repeatedly yet in various guises in the field of the performing arts. The editors more specifically invite contributions that critically inquire into how language either enables or impedes the creation and development of performance works, the dissemination of scholarly research, or the reconciliation of local traditions with international tendencies in both the arts and academia. The overarching aim is to shed new light on the intricate connections between language and performance by focusing on the various ways in which performance always operates on the microlevel of concrete practices as well as in dialogue with the macrolevel of larger sociopolitical and cultural contexts.

Indigenous geographies in Brazil

Confins journal, theme issue – December 2021

Ce dossier pour la revue franco-brésilienne Confins cherche à mettre en évidence la manière dont les débats en cours au sujet de la construction de l’espace et de concepts tels que « territoire » et « territorialité » peut contribuer à approfondir la compréhension des réalités territoriales des peuples autochtones au Brésil. Au travers de travaux fondés sur des situations territoriales variées, et ancrés dans des champs thématiques et théoriques divers, tant de la géographie que de disciplines connexes, nous souhaitons permettre un rapprochement et un dialogue fertile autour d’analyses comparatives amenant à mieux comprendre les géographies autochtones au Brésil.

The challenge of changing cultural heritage

Ce colloque, ouvert à des communications portant sur les cinq continents, part de deux hypothèses : l'île est un territoire à faire émerger davantage pour renouveler la cartographie culturelle du monde et l'île est un espace à interroger pour appréhender les mutations et dynamiques interculturelles du monde contemporain. Nous envisageons dès lors les îles comme des terrains extrêmement riches pour les expressions littéraires et artistiques ainsi que pour leur questionnement des liens entre le local et le global.

Accent - investigations on a linguistic, social and identitary phenomenon

Au travers de recherches théoriques et appliquées menées sur et dans différents pays, il s’agira d’explorer le vécu et la perception de l’accent étranger en France et ailleurs. Les investigations pourront faire l’objet d’une réelle réflexion croisée, contribuant ainsi à une meilleure appréhension de l’altérité au XXI^e siècle. Il s'agira d'apporter – à travers un travail empirique, aussi bien de nature qualitative que quantitative – de nouvelles réponses aux questions posées.

Chican@s studies

Contributions of articles for electronic journal Verbum et Lingua

The electronic magazine Verbum et Lingua: Didáctica, lengua y cultura will dedicate its 16th edition (July-December 2020) to the topic of Chican@s studies. Grosso modo, for Ornelas, Ramírez and Padilla (1975), the Chican@s studies have made a great effort to integrate four main constructs: race, class, culture and gender/sexuality. These constructs are present in the work of different artists who express their ideology in order to politicize and lead their community(ies) to change. According to Macias (2018), the Chican@s field of study seeks to make research holistic and multidisciplinary, as well as inclusive, comparative, grounded, up-to-date and critical. At the same time, it seeks to apply the results to social justice, education, as well as to the change of the global Chican@ communities.

Americanisation through the arts? France – United States - exchanges and appropriations 1850-2020

Workshop 1: Bringing the arts into dialogue

Ce premier atelier du programme de recherche « Américanisation par les arts ? France – États‑Unis. Échanges et appropriations (1850-2020) » abordera la question des échanges et des appropriations culturelles entre la France et les États-Unis, de manière interdisciplinaire, pour en cerner les effets et les modes opératoires sur l’univers sensible tant des Français que des Nord-Américains à partir de quatre portes d’entrée : le corps (manières de se comporter, place accordée au corps dans la vie quotidienne), la voix (manières de parler, de chanter, vocalités, environnement sonore radiophonique et télévisuel), la langue (manières d’écrire et de penser, représentations), les formes (influence des arts savants et populaires dans l’environnement sonore et visuel quotidien).
