    Comparative analyses of nineteenth-century sketches

    A new wave of scholarship has emerged in recent years, which examines nineteenth-century sketches (sometimes referred to as “panoramic literature”) from a transnational perspective. The present international conference seeks to continue this comparative reflection by placing the spotlight on the comparative analysis of texts and images of specific types and by tracing how these representations vary across sketches from different places, media and editorial contexts.

    Planned Obsolescence: Texts, Theory, Technology

    This conference does not intend to focus on the economic, social or environmental aspects of planned obsolescence; these are widely discussed in the literature of these fields, which is already extensive and continually growing. Instead, we would like to explore its implications regarding artistic, literary and theoretical productions and continue the discussion started by Kathleen Fitzpatrick in her work on planned obsolescence in academic publishing. Our goal is to address planned obsolescence as an analytical tool to study artistic and literary works, the genres to which they belong and the theoretical discourses related to them. We would like to address the many facets of planned obsolescence: representational, formal, theoretical, mediational, technological, etc.

    1st International Workshop

    Scientists of many different disciplines are involved in the study of relics and kindred artefacts, but till now there was no real forum for these people to exchange ideas and discuss methods. Therefore the Royal Institute for Cultural Heritage (KIK-IRPA, Brussels) is organizing a two-day workshop on the scientific study of relics. During this meeting we want to give analytical scientists, textile specialists, conservators, anthropologists, historical researchers, people involved in 3D reconstruction as well as radiocarbon dating specialists a forum to exchange ideas about relics.

    What does cinema do to literary genres?

    Cette journée d'étude entend à la fois analyser les changements que l’influence du cinéma a produits dans le système des genres en littérature (mise en place de genres nouveaux, renforcement ou discrédit de genres existants, mise en valeur des distinctions de genre ou rejet complet des cadres génériques), examiner dans quelle mesure ces changements ont un rapport avec d’autres formes d’interaction entre littérature et cinéma (adaptations littéraires, imitations verbales de techniques cinématographiques, recours à un imaginaire ou des thèmes typiques du monde du cinéma), tout en s’interrogeant sur l’importance du contexte historique (avant/après la révolution numérique par exemple).

    Unravelling: gender and textile art today

    Le colloque multidisciplinaire francophone Défilages proposera une réflexion sur les multiples utilisations artistiques du textile, dans une perspective d’étude de genre. Longtemps confidentiel et considéré comme un « art de dames », l’art textile s’appuie aujourd’hui sur une créativité sans cesse renouvelée et une réflexion aigüe. Devenu le lieu d’un questionnement intersectionnel – utilisé pour revisiter l’histoire, la société, les rapports socio-politiques et les questions de genre – l’art textile offre différentes possibilités que nous interrogerons.
