Le collectif d’anthropologie et d’histoire du spirituel et des affects, le CASHA, sollicite des contributions pour ses prochaines sessions d’étude en ligne, qui feront office d’ateliers préparatoires en vue du colloque « La spiritualité de l’âge classique au miroir du XIXe siècle » initialement prévu à Chicago en octobre 2020 et reporté à l’automne 2021 en raison de la crise sanitaire.

Boris Vian: an Artist “Outside the Norm”?
In celebrating Boris Vian’s centennial in the birthplace of jazz, our conference wishes to pay a tribute to the author and his work by bringing him to the place that so powerfully struck his imagination. Vian’s Centennial is also an opportune moment to cast a new light on a multifaceted artist, in continuation of the meeting organized by Marc Lapprand (March 2020) whose project is to re-examine a body of work that has remained only marginally investigated. By focusing precisely on the notions of artistic freedom, irreverence, unconventionality and spontaneity, this conference aims to provide new directions in our interpretations of Vian. Given that playfulness and the rejection of the norm take on such an important part in Vian’s work, it comes as twist of irony that he trained as an engineer and became first employed by the Association Française de Normalisation (French Standardization Association).

African and Gypsy categorizations in France
The process of ethnicization in ordinary discourse
In France, Bulgarian and Romanian migrants identified as “Roma” and usually living in slums are regularly the targets of categorizations, of rejection and of xenophobic violence. Even though other immigrated populations, such as Africans, have been subject to this type of ostracism for some time, the spectre of racism and xenophobia has spread under the effect of the diffusion of a number of political and media discourses. Whether coming from the right or the left of the political spectrum, these differentialist discourses stem from the highest level of the State, and have been regularly relayed by the media, thus legitimizing their presence within the French public space.

International conference
L’univers cinématographique d'Alain Resnais (1922-2014) forme un paysage aussi singulier qu’insaisissable, privilégiant les démarcations floues, les topographies imprévues. Dans leur ouvrage, Alain Resnais : liaisons secrètes, accords vagabonds (Paris, 2006), Jean-Louis Leutrat et Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues invoquent l’image de l’archipel comme point d’entrée dans un monde à la fois dense et élusif, constitué de territoires multiples et éparpillés néanmoins reliés par un fil souterrain. Ce colloque a pour but de (re)baliser l’« archipel Resnais » en traçant les héritages et les sources d’influences du cinéaste. Favorisant un dialogue interdisciplinaire, il accueillera des intervenants venant de disciplines les plus diverses. Cet événement représentera aussi la première étape vers une publication d’essais novateurs sur Resnais.

45th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
Between Theatre and Cinema: Intermediality and Aesthetic Renewal
This panel seeks to explore the aesthetic and theoretical ties between cinematic and performance texts when a play is filmed. Proposals in French or in English on the following topics are welcomed: dialectical implications resulting from the filming of the stage; differences between what is commonly called the “film de théâtre” and its fictional or documentary homologues; interdisciplinary approaches generated by the broad range of relationships between film and theater.

The Life of Exotic Goods in France and the United States (18th-20th centuries)
This conference would like to concentrate on the goods imported in France and the United States between the 18th and the 20th century, and their existence within their new environment: business or tourist trips, where the exotic objects were collected and gathered in private spaces; scientific expeditions, where “anthropological” artefacts were collected for Western museums. What kind of things and goods were brought between the 18th and the 20th century? How were they exhibited, put on display, but also converted and updated? We wish to interrogate the life and “career” of goods, their collection and their circulation, as well as the way in which goods acted upon reception societies. What was the impact of these objects on ways to consume, to live, to dress, to create? What about the processes of translation and interpretation that accompanies such uses and appropriation?
