  Call for papers - Science studies

  Name of a discipline

  Where are ‘postcolonial’ theories and practices going, and what can we call them?

  Proposals for papers which reflect upon the disciplinary contours taken up by what is/used to be called ‘postcolonial’ societies, poetics, epistemologies and politics, are therefore particularly welcome, as are proposals which consider the ways in which re-branding turns, theories and ‘studies’ in the poststructuralist ambit have modified the articulation between social sciences, aesthetics and politics. Branching out from these questions, one might also consider the ways in which social sciences and humanities are inherently calling themselves for reconfigurations and displacements in terms of reception, and teaching. Possible topics or approaches may include decolonial theory, ecocriticism, queer and gender studies, diasporic studies, transnational and transcultural theory, critical race studies, World Literature approaches. A focus on postcolonial/decolonial/anticolonial pedagogical issues will be particularly appreciated, as they not only address questions of corpuses but also fundamentally engage academic and teaching practices. How and where do we (re)invent these practices when academia, critical thinking, and dissensus are placed under such duress, especially in times of crises?

  Call for papers - Modern

  Marcel Duchamp et l'érotisme

  Jugée inconvenante en France par certains peintres cubistes orthodoxes (dont ses propres frères) et indécente de par son titre, la toile Nu descendant un escalier (1912) ne prend sa valeur qu’une fois exportée aux Etats-Unis. Nu descendant un escalier est en effet accepté là pour ce qu’il est, une œuvre de scandale qui ajoute au cubisme une volonté cinétique. Pour faire advenir ce qui est, l’aventure laisse donc entendre la nécessité de ce mouvement de dé-contextualisation (tirer cette toile du milieu familier et cubiste français) et de re-contextualisation (la présenter à l’Armory show devant un public américain autrement façonné). L’aventure laisse entendre la nécessité de la dissociation, la nécessité de séparer des éléments qui formaient un corps ou qu’on avait associés, réunis.
