Andean America - from concept to project
Local representations and the exterior gaze (18th-19th century)
Afin de contribuer au renouvellement des interprétations sur l’indépendance des pays andins en vue des célébrations de 2021, on dépassera les explications qui ont marqué la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, à savoir de pays à la dérive et d’une indépendance concédée en révisant deux siècles d'histoire coloniale et républicaine, des Lumières à la Belle Époque selon la périodisation française. Par leur approche pluridisciplinaire, les communications s’appuieront sur des textes inédits ou inexplorés, des auto-documents de nature non fictionnelle – rapports militaires, correspondances diplomatiques, chroniques religieuses, récits de voyage, mémoires, etc. – ou des documents iconographiques.

The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance
Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

Sedition and Revolt in Modern European Political Thought
As part of the ANR project “Cultures of Revolts and revolutions in Europe”, we wish to bring together international contributors in a discussion of the european political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects.

Images and uses of the people in African literatures and of the diaspora
Le « peuple » désigne, généralement, des couches sociales démunies aux contours indéfinis, aux identités mouvantes et corvéables à merci. Mot polysémique et polyvalent, « le peuple » est aussi perçu, entre autres dénominations, comme synonyme de populace, foule, masse anonyme, bas peuple, petit peuple, gens du peuple, ceux d’en-bas, basses classes et classes laborieuses. Dans les pratiques sociales comme dans les usages linguistiques, est dit « populaire » ce qui s’exclut du modèle élevé, à l’instar du parler non conventionnel rebelle au niveau de langue courant ou soutenu. Souvent associé aux marginaux, aux déclassés, aux laissés-pour-compte, le « peuple » est un sujet récurrent de l’histoire littéraire universelle, tout comme de la création littéraire et artistique d’Afrique et de la diaspora, de la période coloniale à nos jours.

Writing history for young people
The past two decades have seen an increase in the number of publications in France on the subject of youth literature, which have approached the subject from various historical angles. Generally tending to favour the colonial period or periods of conflict and mainly focusing on the issue of propaganda, these studies have examined the creation of a colonial or war culture for children. Most notable among these studies are La guerre des enfants: 1914-1918 (The children’s war: 1914-1918) by Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau (1993) and, more recently, Enfants en temps de guerre et littératures de jeunesse XXe-XXIe siècles (Wartime children and youth literature from the 20th-21st centuries), edited by Catherine Milkovitch-Rioux et al (2013), and Enfance et colonies: fictions et représentations (Children and colonies: stories and representations) (volume 3 of the online journal Strenæ, edited by Mathilde Lévêque, 2012). In an extension of these studies, this volume of Amnis aims to invite discussion more specifically on the writing of history for young people.

Depuis plus d’un siècle, l’émancipation des femmes, l’essor des mouvements décoloniaux et l’émergence dans les productions culturelles de points de vue portés par des groupes dits minoritaires ont contribué à mettre en place des discours alternatifs. Des réappropriations, des réinterprétations et des subversions ont eu lieu qui, sur un moyen terme, ont participé à infléchir les représentations de genre. De ce fait, les sociétés occidentales contemporaines semblent évoluer vers un changement de paradigme où, si les femmes ont conquis les droits citoyens et exercent par ailleurs dans des secteurs d’activité variés, elles restent soumises à des exclusions non visibles, telles que le « plafond de verre » et une plus grande précarité dans le monde de l’emploi, ou des violences qui leur sont spécifiques (féminicides, harcèlement sexuel, publisexisme, etc.).

Conference, symposium - History
Letters from women in medieval Europe (11th-15th century)
Miroir de l’âme mais aussi instrument de communication et d’action politique, la lettre est un objet d’étude qui suscite, depuis quelques années, une attention particulière. La correspondance des femmes est cependant un domaine encore peu exploré et, en dépit de travaux ponctuels sur la production épistolaire de quelques reines, princesses ou nobles dames, rares sont les études d’ensemble sur ce sujet. Pourtant, les lettres de femmes contiennent de précieuses informations sur leur vie, leurs aspirations, et leur rôle au sein de la société. Consacrées aux documents de la pratique mais aussi aux lettres fictives que l’on trouve dans l’historiographie et la littérature, les communications présentées lors de ce colloque examineront les spécificités de ces divers écrits.

Filiation, the imagination and society
Líneas journal no. 9
Se plonger dans l'étude du lien social, sous l'angle de la filiation, à travers les témoignages et les traditions orales, les textes juridiques, historiques, les représentations littéraires et artistiques revient à affiner nos connaissances sur la complexité de sociétés en perpétuelle évolution : la filiation et ses représentations témoignent-t-elles d’un désir de reproduction à l’identique ou engagent-elles des dynamiques de transformation venant créer des brèches dans l’ordre sociopolitique institué, visant parfois à le révolutionner ? Ce numéro 9 de Líneas, « Filiation, imaginaires et sociétés », s’intéressera aux formes et aux représentations de la filiation, en Espagne et en Amérique latine, dans une perspective diachronique. Seront particulièrement appréciées les contributions faisant dialoguer représentations sociales (sociologie, anthropologie, histoire, études culturelles…) et représentations esthétiques (littérature, cinéma, photographie…).

IV International Conference of Myth Criticism
Myth and Emotions
Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

To reconcile and to reincorporate
Discourse, ceremonies and practices in and beyond the Iberic Monarchies
In recent years historiography has been slowly acknowledging the potential of civil societies to restore concord after profound divisions. It also has uncovered the pacification strategies of authorities to reconcile and reincorporate individuals and social groups after periods of contestation and revolt. These complex processes are crucial to better understand the history of the Iberic monarchies, which have been able to develop a long-term government despite many crises of different origin and outlook. Hence, this conference will be focused on the themes of reconciliation and reincorporation from following four perspectives: Words, discourses and emotions (semantics and sentiments), Negotiating reconciliation (promotors and strategies), Making reconciliation work (agents and mediators, processes and forms), In the margin of reconciliations (the undecided and excluded)

39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium
Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator? Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.
