City / Cité: the transatlantic dialogue
France / US and the future of urban democracy?
À l’heure où les ondes de choc du Brexit et des élections américaines se prolongent sur cette rive de l’Atlantique dans un contexte de crise politique mondiale, City / Cité rassemble des chercheurs, des élus, des urbanistes, des militants associatifs, des artistes et des journalistes dans un dialogue transatlantique sur le passé, le présent et l’avenir de la démocratie urbaine. Après le lancement de City / Cité à Chicago en 2015 et avant la prochaine étape qui aura lieu à Detroit en 2017, l’événement parisien se tourne vers la question des « quartiers ». Les deux journées de rencontres au Centquatre-Paris proposent un espace d’échange et de réflexion sur les moyens de favoriser l’inclusion sociale et la participation politique dans les quartiers et d’identifier les bonnes pratiques pour la justice sociale.

Tensions and Reconfigurations After the Presidential Elections
S’inscrivant dans le sillage de la présidentielle de novembre 2016, ce colloque international, rassemblant historiens, politistes et sociologues, réunira sur trois jours des chercheurs français, européens et américains pour leur donner l’occasion de réfléchir ensemble à la présidence Obama. L’objectif premier de ce colloque international sera de tenter un premier bilan de la présidence Obama, notamment en la replaçant dans une perspective historique plus large incluant les grandes vagues de réformes qui l’ont précédée. Il s’agira donc de mettre à profit le caractère pluridisciplinaire pour mener un questionnement plus global sur la place de la présidence Obama dans l’histoire politique longue.

Production, conservation, utilisation
La poésie n'a jamais cessé d'être dite, mais avec la possibilité de l'enregistrement sonore, on conserve, depuis plus d'un siècle maintenant, de très nombreuses « voix de poètes », de très nombreux poèmes sous leur forme oralisée. Le premier objectif de ce colloque international est de mettre en lumière l'importance d'un tel corpus, assez négligé jusqu'à présent par la recherche universitaire, et de réfléchir aux conditions de possibilité d'une meilleure indexation, d'une meilleure valorisation et, dans certains cas, d'une meilleure conservation de ce type d'archives. Ce colloque voudrait initier en France une réflexion de fond sur le patrimoine sonore de la poésie, depuis sa production jusqu'à ses usages.

Religions and the presidential elections in the United States
Catholics have long been an important force in American electoral politics even if they make up 21% of the American population. Could they be, compared to the other religious denominations, the game changer of the next elections ? Despite widespread agreement among scholars that the partisan behavior of Catholics has changed, there is much less consensus on the nature of that change, its permanence, and its causes. This symposium will review the historical patterns of Catholic partisanship and voting behavior, as well as those of the other denominations, discuss major perspectives on electoral change (Republican shift, Hispanic and Asian vote, interreligious alliances) and test there perspectives with the latest survey data.

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.

Conference, symposium - History
A transatlantic dialogue
On the occasion of the launch of Picturing, the first volume of the Terra Foundation Essays, a new publication series exploring themes of critical importance to the history of arts and visual culture of the United States, the Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte, Paris, and the Terra Foundation for American Art are jointly organizing a conference to further the transatlantic dialogue about what pictures are and what they do. This conference invites speakers to reflect on the differences and convergences between the intellectual traditions of visual studies and Bildwissenschaft. Are there ways to think about pictures anew by bringing these models more closely together? Does the move away from visuality towards the material offer possibilities for overcoming early differences between these two approaches?
