Transnationalism and imperialism: new perspectives on the Western

The aim of this conference is to question the film genre of the Western as being essentially American by focusing on the transnational dimension of Western narratives and images, as well as the circulation, reception, and production of Westerns outside the United States.

The Many Faces of Slavery: non-traditional slave experiences in the Atlantic World
By the 18th century, racial slavery had matured into a fully-fledged, firmly established, profitable form of labour in the Atlantic World. In slave societies, the development of the plantation unit led both to the geographical concentration of the slave population and to a growing homogenization of the activities bondsmen performed. However, throughout the Atlantic World, the existence of phenomena such as urban slavery, slave self-hiring, quasi-free or nominal slaves, domestic slave concubines, slave vendors, slave sailors, slave preachers, slave overseers, and many other types of “societies with slaves,” broadens our traditional conception of slavery by complicating the slave experience. This conference does not aim to challenge the significance of the plantation system, but, by using it as a paradigm, seeks to assess the extent and nature of non-traditional forms of slavery in the context of the historical evolution of labour in the Atlantic World.

Croire à la lettre : écrire la religion en Europe, 1600-1800
Writing Religion in Early-Modern and Enlightenment Europe
Outil de communication entre les croyants, les congrégations et les communautés, mais aussi entre les membres du clergé et les fidèles, la lettre reste le principal moyen d’expression de la piété et du sentiment religieux en Europe aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Le but de ce colloque est donc d’explorer les modalités de l’écriture épistolaire religieuse dans l’espace européen. Il proposera, d’une part, des études des grandes correspondances religieuses trop souvent négligées au profit des correspondances philosophiques et/ou politiques et, d’autre part, des correspondances plus intimes dans lesquelles les correspondants sont amenés à exprimer leur foi ou leur absence de foi.
