  Northern Relations

  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.

  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.

  MemWar. Memory and forgetting of war and trauma in the 20th century

  Le XXIe siècle nait de l’histoire tourmentée du XXe, avec ses deux guerres mondiales et les autres conflits de dimension européenne, comme la Guerre civile espagnole. Ce colloque, organisé par le groupe de recherche « MemWar. Mémoires et oublis des guerres et des traumatismes du XX^e siècle » du Département de Langues et cultures modernes de l’Université de Gênes, vise à analyser les modalités de transmission mémorielle de ces conflits au XXI^e siècle, les représentations de ces derniers, les points aveugles et/ou obscurs de ce processus mémoriel, y compris dans une optique critique (Ricoeur, 2003) et, enfin, comment se développent les rapports de force entre discours officiel et contre-discours.

  LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms

  In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

  Political demonstrations in cinema

  Relaying, reprising and reappropriating protest experiences

  Des Printemps arabes au mouvement des Gilets jaunes, les années 2010 ont vu surgir sur toute la planète de grands mouvements de contestation populaire. Dans l’irréductible diversité de leurs fins et de leurs destins, ces mobilisations ont donné l’occasion de ressaisir l’importance du rassemblement, comme forme d’expression politique « qui n’est pas réductible aux revendications et aux discours tenus par les acteurs » (Butler). Ce qui se joue dans la rue, sur une place, lorsqu’une foule manifestante se rassemble, c’est une lutte symbolique pour l’occupation du visible (Rancière), acte par lequel un peuple qui n’était pas pris en compte s’invente en se donnant à voir et à entendre, en se mettant en scène. Ce colloque propose de réinterroger les manières infiniment diverses qu’a eu le cinéma de créer des analyses, mémoires et imaginaires pluriels (voire concurrents) de l’expérience de la contestation politique. Ce, à partir de la manifestation en tant qu’objet ou motif qui traverse l’histoire et les genres du cinéma, autant que l’histoire sociale.
