  Poetic writing: a site of resistance(s)

  Au quadrillage de l’espace, à l’invitation à la docilité et à la servitude, la poésie apporte sans doute une réponse autre, insoumise et déstabilisante. En circonscrivant notre corpus d’étude aux mondes hispaniques, nous invitons à interroger cette poésie qui est une école de révoltes et qui se veut le lieu de résistance(s) ou de micro-résistances. L’expression poétique dans le champ littéraire est résolument espace de mémoire, de dénonciation, d’indignation, d’appel à une autre vision du monde, une transgression des normes quelles qu’elles soient, dans la forme et dans le fond. Si l’on considère que la poésie ne peut être enfermée dans la clôture du signifiant, c’est alors aussi la question de sa fonction de son utilité comme « conscience de mission » qui est posée. Il nous semble intéressant d’explorer les chemins de résistance(s) qu’emprunte la poésie contemporaine.

  Conference, symposium - Modern

  Interdisciplinary strategies and collaborations

  This seminar is the first of a series of three talks which will take place in each of the cities explored. It offers a space for collaboration, reflection and exchanges where explorers, partners, associate members and other leading figures are invited to lend an outside perspective. It is an invitation both to reflect on the project itself and to promote a public discussion of its critical perspectives. For instance, what is “knowledge” for an artist, a researcher or an educator, and how is it constructed ? For what discourse and representations are artists, researchers in the humanities and educators responsible ? What research stance should be adopted to meet the challenges of interdisciplinarity and social space ? How do our disciplines of research, creation and social intervention revisit the historical motive for exploration and what relationship do they have with it ?

  Arabic Chancellery Documents through the Prism of Historicity

  Writing, Vocabulary, Syntax, and Intertextuality from ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd al-Kātib (d. 750) to al-Qalqashandī (d. 1418)

  This conference will address the evolution of chancellery styles, their regional diversity, and the history of the rhymed prose (sajʿ), this language of authority that was supposed to obey rules definitively fixed by the Prophet or the first secretaries of the Islamic Empire. What were the technical modalities for innovation? On what semantic, lexical, syntactical, and/or graphic levels did it manifest? Rather than on norms, codes, and rules, studies will focus on writing styles, orthographic variants, atypical handwriting, deletion, the transgression of norms, semantic revitalization, neologisms, and the variety of styles for citing the Quran or referencing ḥadīth. We are seeking to renew study of a corpus considered not as a fixed and ossified text, technical and off-putting, but as a living, evolving, and diverse ensemble.
