Sex, Dread, and the Algerian War

Ce colloque, international et pluridisciplinaire, voudrait interroger, au-delà de la sexualisation attachée à tout épisode belliqueux, l'omniprésence du sexe dans les représentations de la guerre d'Algérie. Viols, émasculations, bâtardises, exacerbations viriles, tortures ciblées, outrages sexuels des cadavres, commerces des corps méritent d’être recontextualisés, d’être spécifiés, et comparés. C’est aux confins des disciplines (anthropologie, psychanalyse, littérature, arts de l’image, histoire), qu’il faudra tenter de penser la vectorisation sexuelle du conflit, de ses figurations et de ses mémoires.

Histoire de l’Algérie coloniale

Longue durée et désenclavement

Historians have long focused on the independence war, and this has given rise to a rich historiography. Consequently, the longer term colonial period was less extensively explored. However, recent historiography shows that new ground has been broken. It is perhaps now time to pause and reflect on the historiography. The purpose of this conference is two-fold: firstly, can we have a better understanding of the colonization of Algeria in the longue durée, beyond the traditional focus on periods of conflict? The second aim is to take the history of Algeria out of its isolation and place it instead within the broader picture of imperial history – whether in relation to hexagonal France or the other French colonies.
