LGBTQIA+ studies for contemporary history, having produced a vast amount of researches, are still questioning history and historiography: how can LGBTQIA+ history be written? Does it merely overlap with the history of LGBTQIA+ subjectivities or does it exceed the boundaries of the LGBTQIA+ community? Does it challenge the historical imagination in terms of sources, archives, political and disciplinary boundaries, gender categories? Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea is looking for contributions aimed at investigating these issues.

Borders

15th international conference of Francophone Studies, CIEFT 2021

Rien de plus politique que les frontières, en principe immuables, intouchables, casus belli entres tous les casus qui puissent surgir. La frontière implique : point de passage, interdiction, identité et altérité, diversité et différence, intérieur et extérieur, le mien et le nôtre contre le tien, le vôtre et le leur, acceptation et refus, fracture et création, entre(-)deux, coupure et lien, barrière et jonction, centre et périphérie, « non-lieu », traversée légale et illégale.

Intersectional Challenges in Afroeuropean Communities

8th Biennial Afroeuropeans Network Conference

The conference aims to consider how Afroeuropean communities are shaped by the intersections of ‘race’ and ethnicity with other markers of identification such as gender, class, sexuality, ability, age, citizenship status, language… Informed by intersectional thinking and its rejection of unidimensional perspectives in activism, policy and research, the conference explores how diverse processes of privileging and discrimination interact, making for complex and dynamic experiences of what it means to be Afroeuropean. It acknowledges that the racial and ethnic alterity of Afroeuropeans intersects with other identities (e.g. male, female, queer, working class, religious, disabled, aged…) and specifically seeks to examine to what extent these intersections create new alignments and opportunities.

The Faces of Garbo

The construction, circulation and appropriations of a global star image

Beyond the fascination that “Garbo’s face” inspired, which Roland Barthes compared to a “Platonic idea” in a famous passage from Mythologies (1957), this symposium wishes to study the different faces of Garbo, embedding her screen performances as well as the extra-filmic material which helped build her star persona within a range of social and cultural contexts. Contributions will address both the construction of her image (comparing, for instance, the promotional discourse surrounding her in different countries) and its reception, be it by critics or “ordinary” filmgoers.

Knowledge, experiences and protocols in voluntary pregnancy termination in Gabon, Cameroon and Equatorial Guinea

L’objet de ce colloque vise essentiellement à connaître les savoirs, les itinéraires et les protocoles dont la finalité est l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG). Cela, pour prendre en compte leurs conséquences médicales, sociales, psychologiques, économiques, politiques, juridiques et culturelles, etc. Sachant que l’interruption volontaire de grossesse ou avortement donne lieu à de nombreuses controverses quant à l’adoption de textes législatifs et/ou d’arrêts de justice, il est demandé aux participants de réfléchir sur l’impact de cette pratique et des décisions publiques prises dans les cadres législatifs, politiques et culturelles, traditionnels et modernes afin d’organiser ou d’interdire l’IVG. Il s’agira donc de se prononcer sur l’identité de cette pratique au Gabon, au Cameroun et en Guinée-Equatoriale, aux fins d’en extraire les spécificités, les caractéristiques et les conséquences fondamentales dont les États pourraient se servir dans le cadre de leur organisation.

Post-modern / post-colonial: "post" in debate

International conference on postmodern and postcolonial theories

Dans le sillage, d’un côté, de la deuxième guerre mondiale, et de l’autre, de la période des décolonisations africaines, émergent le postmoderne et le postcolonial, deux concepts qui se proposent de déconstruire respectivement les métarécits modernes de légitimation et de régulation, et les structures impériales de la domination occidentale.

LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms

In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

“Marine Feet and Vesuvian Eyes”: The Volcanic Aesthetics of Maria Orsini Natale

Edited Collection

This volume intends to fill a gap in the critical reception of a remarkable Southern Italian woman writer. A journalist, a poet and a writer, Maria Orsini Natale (1928-2010) lived and worked at the foot of Vesuvius, and began writing at age 69, receiving several literary recognitions. Her novel, initially written as Ottocento Vesuviano, then entitled Francesca and Nunziata, and published for the first time in 1995, was also made into a 2001 film directed by Lina Wertmüller, starring Sophia Loren and Giancarlo Giannini. The book earned her a semifinalist’s place in the Strega Prize, the most prestigious Italian literary award, and features a family from Amalfi, dedicated for generations to the white art of pasta making. More than fiction, it illustrates what in Neapolitan is called a ‘cunto’, part historical account and part allegorical tale, derived from a reservoir of collective as well as personal memories.
