  Forms and issues of transmission in contemporary teen fiction

  Depuis les années 1980-1990, de nombreuses fictions (littéraires, télévisuelles et cinématographiques) représentent des univers juvéniles dont les personnages principaux sont des adolescents·e·s. Elles rendent compte de la complexité du « moment adolescent » et de la diversité de ses manifestations enmettant notamment en scène les relations plus ou moins harmonieuses avec la famille, les adultes (les enseignant·e·s, par exemple) et les pairs. Bien que de nombreux travaux aient été menés sur les fictions pour dolescents·e·s, qu’elles soient littéraires,  cinématographiques ou télévisuelles, la question de la transmission (ses formes, ses enjeux, ses objets) envisagée conjointement dans les fictions littéraires, télévisées et cinématographiques demeure inexplorée.

  Utopia in a Post-secular Society: at the Cross-sections of Literature and Philosophy

  48th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)

  An element that seems to characterize the 20^th century reflection on utopia is its secular nature. Through a re-thinking of the place and roles of religion in society, the post-secular turn we are witnessing in recent theory (Habermas, Taylor, Asad, Mahmood) may provide a critical point of departure for questioning this specific aspect of utopian tradition. In this panel, we invite papers that reflect on the relationship between utopia and religion, as it is worked out in 20^th century literature and philosophy: How does the place of the utopian tradition change in the context of the “return of the religion” in a post-secular society?

  This conference seeks to explore the phenomenon of artistic migration to Paris during the Third Republic from an interdisciplinary perspective (music, literature, and the visual arts), thus offering researchers from different fields the opportunity to compare their case studies and to formulate ideas that transcend their field of specialization, with the goal of producing a comprehensive understanding of the issues related to artistic migration to Paris.

  Music-Records-Radio in French-Speaking Countries (1900-1950)

  In the space of a few decades, from 1900 to 1950, musicians’ and listeners’ relationship to music was transformed with the advent of records and then the radio. The conference seeks to provide researchers an opportunity to explore collectively the relationship between music, records, and the radio by examining the following issues: the interactions between different forms of media and intermedial transfer; the ways in which composers and performers adapted to the new means of dissemination; and the social, economic, and aesthetic consequences on musical activity with the arrival of records and the radio. Restricting the context to French-speaking countries will make it possible to establish comparisons as well as connections between various record “markets” and the radio networks that developed during the period.
