"OK Computer", twenty years on: Radiohead’s musical, cultural, and political legacies
As a band who has garnered critical and commercial success without forsaking their taste for musical experimentation and subversive, yet poetic, lyrics, Radiohead offer multiple facets to their listeners and to popular music scholars alike. Nevertheless, only a handful of academic studies have, to this day, been devoted their work, including The Music and Art of Radiohead (Tate, 2005).

Society, culture, community in the United Kingdom (1970-79)
This two-day conference focusing on British society of the 1970s seeks to enlarge and to alter perspectives on the period. The intention is to examine the dynamic of contradiction, inventiveness and tensions that is at work. The intention of the conference-organizers is to circumvent and thus question any “teleological” or linear reading of the period in terms of the necessary “coming of Thatcherism” in the United Kingdom, where the politics and culture of the period are read as so many symptoms or omens of the 1979 election result. The aim is to focus on the plurality of conflicting possibilities evident in the period, and therefore on the contingency of outcomes.

Copyright and the Circulation of Knowledge
Industry Practices and Public Interests in Great Britain from the 18th Century to the Present
New combinations of technology, culture, and business practice are transforming relationships among authors, publishers, and audiences in many fields of knowledge, including journalism, science research, and academia. Self-publishing, open-access, open source, creative commons, crowd sourcing and copy left: these are a few of the key words associated with recent changes in how knowledge is produced and circulated. While being celebrated for their potential to democratize knowledge, many of these changes have been accompanied by heated debates on such questions as the appropriate role of experts and ‘gatekeepers’; how to ensure that such projects are both trustworthy and economically viable; and how best to balance the interests of authors, publishers, and the general public. Copyright is often at the centre of these discussions.

Conference, symposium - History
Commemorating the Battle of the Somme in Anglophone and Germanophone countries
Les journées consacrées au premier centenaire de la Bataille de la Somme s’inscriront dans une approche comparée des résonances qu’engendre le choc initial au sein des populations des deux grands protagonistes : le Royaume-Uni et l’Allemagne. Ce sont en effet leurs troupes qui s’affrontent principalement le 1er juillet 1916, véritable point de bascule de la guerre pour la Grande-Bretagne et son empire.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Music criticism in the Anglophone world
What are the forms, genres, and styles of music criticism? Who writes music criticism? What role have musicians and composers played (and continue to play) in music criticism? And what is the role of non-musician writers? And how do cultural institutions, such as universities, newspapers, specialized or non-specialized magazines, figure in music criticism, as opposed to non-institutional channels? What does “classical” music criticism and popular music criticism have in common? How, conversely, do they differ? These are some of the questions that will be debated in this international conference, the last in a series of colloquiums that were initiated in 2013 on various aspects of music criticism. Twelve papers—seven in English, five in French—will be presented in the three sessions of this conference, with participants from Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States.

A tragedy for the 21st century
Edward Bond's logic of theatre and TiE (Theatre-in-Education) plays
En nous fondant (non exclusivement) sur les dix pièces écrites par Bond depuis 1994 pour être jouées pour et avec des collégiens et lycéens, les rencontres européennes Edward Bond (Paris-Amiens 2016, 8-9-10 novembre 2016) viseront à explorer, dans un cadre universitaire, mais aussi sur les plateaux et les scènes de théâtre, les outils théoriques et conceptuels — proprement « poétiques » — que Bond forge et met en pratique pour l'art dramatique depuis plus de cinquante ans, en vue de l'urgente et nécessaire ré-invention d'une dramaturgie apte à regarder les yeux dans les yeux notre crise présente (que Bond nomme depuis 2012 la « troisième crise » de la culture occidentale.
