    How are norms challenged by disabilities?

    This 9th conference aims to discuss the construction of normality and, more broadly, the system of thought that structures our societies in which being “able” is the norm in the sense of both the most widespread and the most desirable situation. The aim of this critical perspective is therefore to highlight how our societies are structured in relation to the notion of the able individual. While the recent call to build inclusive societies would appear to herald a radical turning point, what is the reality? Have we truly finished with representations of disability that tend towards the negative, the defective or even the tragic? To what extend are the “heroized” figures of disability, omnipresent in the public space, perpetrating the representation of disability as a deviation from the norm?

    The Spiritual: a Valid Category for the Humanities?

    An interdisciplinary debate

    Ce colloque se propose de tenter une théorisation de la notion de spirituel afin d'en faire une catégorie scientifique utilisable dans le champ des sciences humaines. Depuis le poststructuralisme, la théorie, notamment littéraire, est devenue experte en matière d'analyse et de remise en question du soubassement idéologique de tout discours. Toutefois, cette « herméneutique du soupçon » (Ricoeur, 1975) se trouve démunie lorsqu'il s'agit d'élaborer une herméneutique « instauratrice de sens » (Ricoeur, 1965) permettant de penser l'humain au-delà de sa matérialité.

    Call for papers - Representation

    Representing Animals in Britain

    La question de la ou des représentation(s) des animaux dans les îles Britanniques évoque d’emblée plusieurs éléments majeurs de la tradition et de l'histoire récente du pays : les gravures de Hogarth en 1751, la création de la Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals en 1824, les écrits de Locke, de Bentham sur le statut de l’animal, les travaux de Darwin sur les espèces, ou encore le débat contemporain sur l’expérimentation animale ou l’élevage intensif. Il semble que les Britanniques aient accordé une grande place aux animaux dans leurs arts, leur pensée, leurs loisirs, leurs sciences, et leur vie quotidienne. Cependant, l’idée que nos voisins d’outre-Manche aiment beaucoup les animaux révèle-elle quelque chose de profond dans la culture de ce pays, ou bien n'est-elle qu'un cliché que les Britanniques se plaisent à colporter ? C’est à cette question que nous souhaiterions répondre.
