The undisciplined discipline: the challenges of Pop Cultural Studies
This call for paper is for a workshop which it itself included in this year's international symposium of the AFEA (Franch Association of American Studies) which will happen in Nantes, France from May 22 nd to the 24th. This year's main theme of the conference is "discipline/indiscipline." (event for which you can find more information here: http://www.afea.fr/-2019-AFEA-Conference-Discplines-Indiscipline-.html) This workshop intends to address and explore further this binary dichotomy through the prism of cultural studies, interrogating more precisely if the emergence of pop cultural studies is truly something to advocate for. Communications can tackle this issue from a more theoretical standpoint, but they can also deal with more precise case studies which would illustrate how pop culture and cultural studies are both defying disciplinary classifications. Communications can be either in French or in English.

Economic challenge and new maritime risks management: what blue growth?
5th International Human Sea - Marisk Symposium
New energies to forage at sea, deeper drillings further and further from the coast, increasingly bigger ships, these are the challenges that man must overcome to accomplish “blue growth”. There are economic opportunities to grab, but also new risks concerning safety and security, and marine environmental protection. These new challenges will be at the heart of the 5th edition of the Human Sea – Marisk symposium, a major event bringing together the best international experts and taking into account the latest scientific and technological advances in the maritime and port sector.

Theological Foundations of Modern Constitutional Theory: 16th-17th Centuries
Fondements théologiques de la théorie constitutionnelle moderne : XVIe-XVIIe siècles
This conference aims to assemble different studies laying bridges between modern constitutional theories and theology from the perspective of intellectual history. Though modernity of law and politics has been usually accounted in the context of Reformation, the paper-givers’ approaches to the question will not be restricted in any confessional perspective, Protestant or Catholic. For, whatever the word ‘theology’ may have connoted in the time of religious confrontations, theoretical attempts to legitimize human rights and political authority at those days can be regarded as part of the general current of philosophical investigations, in a new manner and with different foci than ever, into the concept of justice with reference to that of God.

A socially and geographically situated bricolage
Treating oneself is a controversial practice: scorned in the name of the health risks it runs, self-treatment may also be praised in the name of the independence it expresses. The messages of public health authorities are at the heart of the controversy, emphasizing risk one moment and their potential for patient responsibility the next. Such contradictory injunctions also affect the practices of care providers. The conference has chosen to allow comparisons and confrontations between these various disciplinary approaches as well as distinct research field sites (North/South, North/North, South/South). These practices and their determinants have to be more finely mapped and analyzed to put these analyses – by definition always partial, and theoretically, historically, and geographically situated – in perspective.

L'héritage de Darwin dans les cultures européennes
Colloque du GRER (ICT) et du CRINI
À l’occasion du bicentenaire de la naissance de Charles Darwin (12 février 1809) et du cent cinquantième anniversaire de la parution de L’Origine des espèces (24 novembre 1859), il semble important d’évaluer l’héritage que le grand naturaliste anglais a laissé aujourd’hui en Europe. Aucun penseur né au XIXe siècle, en dehors de Freud et Marx, n’a peut-être autant marqué le paysage intellectuel que celui qui a rompu avec le créationnisme mais aussi le lamarckisme pour définir le rôle de la sélection naturelle dans l’évolution des êtres vivants. Ce colloque a pour but de faire le point sur l’héritage darwinien dans les cultures européennes. Il est donc à la fois comparatiste, en espérant susciter un dialogue et des échanges entre aires culturelles et linguistiques, et interdisciplinaire, en suscitant les réactions de civilisationnistes, d’historiens de la pensée, de littéraires, d’épistémologues, de traducteurs de Darwin, de spécialistes des sciences du vivant. -

Conference, symposium - America
Ce colloque met l'accent sur la nation canadienne dans sa dimension " textuelle ". A travers l'étude et l'analyse de textes écrits par des Canadiennes ou des femmes résidant au Canada, les chercheurs internationaux vont s'intéresser aux problématiques de l'écriture de la nation (à travers sa construction et sa formation) ainsi qu'aux questions qui en découlent : l'écriture de l'appartenance et de l'inscription (ou non) dans le projet national.
