  Thinking and analysing the music of Benjamin Britten in the 21st century

  Parmi les anniversaires célébrés en 2013 (Verdi, Wagner, Corelli, Poulenc…), le centenaire de la naissance du compositeur anglais Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) est un appel sonné aux ressources de la recherche musicologique française et internationale. Surtout connue à travers le War Requiem et les ouvrages lyriques, que les scènes françaises programment régulièrement, la musique de Britten n’a pour l’instant fait l’objet, en France, que de quelques études approfondies. Le présent colloque prend à tâche de dresser un bilan et de poser les jalons de futures analyses – qu’elles adoptent un point de vue musicologique, esthétique, analytique, ou encore une perspective historique, sociologique, ou linguistique. Possiblement adossée à la critique anglo-saxonne ou résolument indépendante, la musicologie française de Britten reste globalement à écrire.

  Modernist Communities

  The inaugural international conference of the French Society of Modernist Studies

  The aim of this two-day conference is to foster discussion on communities in the modernist period. As discursive constructs and historical practices, communities constitute a privileged phenomenon from which to understand the political and ethical regime of modernist texts, as well as the actual forms of collective experience in which writers and readers were involved. More than a decade after Jessica Berman’s landmark work on "the politics of community" in modernist fiction, we seek to explore the various ways in which communities were configured across genres and artistic media, but also to acknowledge the grounds of their historical and cultural specificity. We hope that this will lead us to distinguish various versions of the communal, from the ideal to the empirical, from the utopian to the everyday, from consensus to dissensus.

  Lire la littérature et les arts visuels du monde anglophone avec le Lacan de l’après-encore

  Reading English-language Arts and Literature with the Later Lacan

  Lacanian analysis of literature and the arts has not been in vogue in France for some time now. Following the publication of Écrits in 1966, there was a period of analytic fascination with the imaginary capture of the mirror phase and its intersection with the structures of the symbolic in both literary and film studies. Since the 1980s, academic engagement with Lacanian theory in the cultural field has been in a slump, and this for several reasons: the reputed difficulty of Lacan’s style as apprehended through Ecrits, the opposition of numerous feminist critics, and the general decline of theory in the field of literary studies. Today, in light of the growing force of scientistic conceptions of the human subject (at the level of intelligence, behaviour, reproduction, the limits of the body, mortality), Lacanian theory finds renewed relevance in its unwavering postulate of the subject as singular, unique and incalculable, insusceptible to scientific conclusiveness.
