  Collapse and extinction: art, literature and discourse

  This conference aims to question the notion of collapse and analyse how it contributes to produce new aesthetical and semiotic forms as well as new kinds of reading. What kind of literary genres appear in parallel with a discourse on collapsology (science-fiction, dystopia, essays, post apocalyptic fiction)? Do these genres include a direct form of ideological interpretation of the world? How do they relate to the factual processes of climate change and sixth mass extinction? What type of reading do these works trigger?

  Gardens of justice

  Critical legal conference 2012

  The theme for this year’s Critical Legal Conference is “Gardens of Justice”. Although the theme may be interpreted in different ways, it suggests thinking about law and justice as a physical as well as a social environment, created for specific purposes, at a certain distance from society and yet as an integral part of it. The theme also invites you to think about justice as a concrete metaphor rather than an abstract concept. Just like any ordinary garden, legal institutions affect both people working in them and people who are just passing through their arrangements.

  Elective affinities. Critical approach of religious heritage-making in the Mediterranean

  Workshop of the inaugural conference of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies

  This workshop of the inaugural conference of the Association of Critical Heritage Studies (Gothenburg, 5 June 2012) focuses on the relationships between religion and heritage in the Mediterranean. It aims to study the entwining of these two phenomena and reveal the eventual particularities of religious heritage-making, as well as to discuss the conceptions of heritage embedded in the monotheistic religions, and re-examine the cultural matrix that religion and heritage share, redefine or negotiate through memory practices.

  Couleurs et lumières du Nord. Colours / Lights of the North. Färger och ljus i norr

  Colloque international en littérature, cinéma, arts plastiques et visuels

  À partir des propositions culturelles des géographes et de leurs concepts de « nordicité », d' « espace circumpolaire » et de « monde nordique », des réflexions ont émergé, au cours des dernières années, autour de la possibilité de concevoir le « Nord » comme une construction discursive, idéologique et esthétique dont certains des éléments seraient communs à l'ensemble des représentations historiques et contemporaines de ce territoire, représentations issues tant des cultures scandinaves (suédoise, danoise, norvégienne, islandaise), baltes, finlandaise, québécoise, canadienne-anglaise, russe, ainsi que de l'Alaska et du monde inuit (Nunavut, Nunavik, Groenland).
