    Fields of collaboration in contemporary art practices

    Can all art be considered collaborative? What has motivated so many artists, in recent decades, to organize in collectives and participate in collaborative projects? Does collaboration in the arts play a major role in redefining the art world and in the production of new subjectivities? How do collaborative art practices challenge the myths of creative genius and artistic individuality?

    1813-2013: Two centuries of reading Friedrich Schleiermacher’s seminal text “On the different methods of translating”

    7th Colloquium on Translation Studies

    Two hundred years after his famous lecture at the Royal Academy of Science in Berlin, during the Napoleonic era, Friedrich Schleiermacher still remains an assiduous presence in Translation Studies bibliography all over the world. His definition of two (and only two) methods of translating has become indispensable to the common core vocabulary of both translators and researchers of translation alike. This binary opposition dates back to Saint Jerome, or even Cicero (De Oratore) and still retains all of its attractiveness, being referred to by different designations such as translation methods, strategies, procedures or norms.

    Freud, a century after Totem and Taboo

    Anthropology, culture and cognition

    Although hardly avoiding intense criticism by anthropologists such as Boas and Malinowski, Freud’s theories did, however, have a profound impact upon anthropology, receiving an enthusiastic reception among Culture and Personality theorists during the middle decades of the 20th century. Leading anthropologists of this trend relied on Freud’s contributions to develop approaches based on the relationship between culture and personality, expanding their views on the importance of culture in personality formation, on the constitution of culture patterns and on the formulation of national character. One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion.

    Drama and philosophy

    "Drama and Philosophy - a recurrent and most needed encounter" works on reviewing the multiple dependence between philosophy and drama, on developing the contribution of dramatic concepts to philosophical thought, and vice versa, the contribution of philosophy to the scenic languages. We understand “drama” in the larger sense: it is precisely by the multiplicity of its languages that drama can enrich the philosophy of language.

    Ways to Legally Implement Intergenerational Justice

    Nos démocraties sont confrontées à une nouvelle problématique: il s'agit de la nécessité de prendre en compte les intérêts des générations futures. Telles qu'elles se pensent et s'exercent à l'heure actuelle, nulle place n'est réservée à la protection des hommes de demain au niveau du processus démocratique. Dans ce contexte, les impératifs de justice intergénérationnels ne peuvent être mis en œuvre. Chaque partie politique se focalise bien souvent sur les préférences très actuelles de l'électorat. Nous souhaitons trouver des moyens pour réconcilier la démocratie avec les impératifs de justice intergénérationnels. À cette fin, il est nécessaire d'instituer les intérêts des générations futures au sein du processus démocratique. Le récent échec du Sommet de Copenhage confirme l'urgence de penser à situer les générations futures au sein de ce processus. Comment faire ?
