  Representations of Power and Power of the Image in British and American Contemporary Photography

  Représentations du pouvoir et pouvoir de l’image dans la photographie contemporaine américaine et britannique

  From the power of images to images of power, this workshop will explore the representations of power and the power of representation in contemporary American and British photography. What is photography capable of doing? Whether in the form of a public person, the environment of power (emblematic places and explicit or underlying forms) or its symbolism, what is photography capable of revealing about power itself? Political, institutional, economic or social power all depend upon a system of relations or tensions between groups or individuals (accepted, rejected, questioned, expressed visually or internalized) participating in the construction of the identity, myths or memories of the American or British nations. In what manner does photography enhance or contribute to this construction or deconstruction of the notion of identity and nation?

  Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?

  Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

  Arts des tranchées | Les tranchées dans l’art. La Grande Guerre cent ans plus tard

  Pour signaler le centenaire du début de la Première Guerre Mondiale, l’Institut de Littérature Comparée de la Faculté de Lettres de l’Université de Porto s’associe aux organismes officiels – Ministère des Affaires Étrangères et Mairie de Porto – qui organisent plusieurs activités  commémoratives de l’éphéméride à Porto. Dans ce Colloque Inters-disciplinaire, il s’agira d’approfondir le débat autour de la participation portugaise à la Première Grande Guerre,  moyennant  une réflexion générale et articulée qui, au-delà des questions purement historico-politiques,  touche les différents domaines artistiques, tout particulièrement le domaine de la littérature.

  The American and British Nations in Contemporary Landscape Photography

  This second workshop in a series devoted to photography and national identity will question the way in which landscape as represented through the specificities of the photographic medium may participate in the construction of contemporary American and British national identities.
