  De quoi la nature est-elle le nom ?

  Représentations de la nature dans l'art, l'art appliqué et sa critique contemporaine

  L’objectif de cette journée d’étude est d’interroger les enjeux de la représentation de la « nature » dans les arts et les lettres, et son appropriation, par la création et la critique contemporaine. Quels échos ces réflexions sur le concept de nature ont-ils dans le monde de la création et le monde artistique ? Quelles créations au nom de la nature, ou volontiers déconstructionnistes, émergent aujourd’hui ? Quel est leur sens ? Quels enjeux de pouvoir ces choix de représentation peuvent-ils sous-tendre ? Quelles évolutions herméneutiques se dessinent, enfin, en lettres et arts en réaction à ces débats ?

  Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile

  PhD position in Asian Studies

  This Ph.D. position is funded by a MIS (Mandat d’Impulsion Scientifique/ Incentive Grant for Scientific Research) project: “Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile”. Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking people based at the border of Central Asia and the north-western part of China. Massive internments and arrests of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs have taken place in the region since 2016, including the Uyghur elite. In these conditions, centers of the cultural production of the Uyghurs have shifted from their native land to the diaspora spread across the world. This project looks at Uyghur diasporic cultural production that aims at drawing the world’s attention and bearing witness to the various abuses perpetrated at home by the Chinese government. The whole project analyses selected poems, short films, video clips, and dance and music performances to tackle new transmedial forms of testimonies in the Uyghur case.

  Mental maps": between memory transcription and symbolic projection

  TRANSCRIPT

  The notion of "mental maps" will therefore be considered according to two different meanings and uses: 1) the internal representation of a space travelled through (cognitive map) and 2) the representation of a set of entities or concepts (mind map). The terms "memory transcription" can be understood as the translation and recording on a graphic support of elements present in the mind. The terms of "symbolic projection" are conceived as the fact of externalizing by the means of signs or symbols on a graphic support, the two types of representation: the representation of a traversed space or the representation of a set of entities or concepts. The points of contact, crossover, reversal, between what could be called "representation of space" and "space of representation" are little explored. How can we better apprehend the complex notion of "mental map"? The question of memory transcription? Of the "symbolic projection"? Can we identify meeting points between these two polarities and if possible a continuum?
