IV International Conference of Myth Criticism

Myth and Emotions

Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

Theory in Love

International Comparative Literature Association XXIst Congress - session 17327

In The Politics of Friendship Derrida reflects on the question of the indecidable possibility, the “peut-être,” of love, of friendship, and of desire: “‘Je t'aime entends- tu?’; cette déclaration d'aimance hyperbolique ne pourrait donner sa chance à une politique de l'amitié que soumise à l'épreuve du peut-être, de l'indécidable” How then can we express a refusal, a no, without listening, without hearing? How can one express the divergent and differential possibilities opened by this phrase? And yet Derrida already has, in Envois, where he explores, theorizes and dramatizes a love affair, tracing the course of its refusal in the various postcards and letters which remain unsent, forever awaiting their destination. This panel concerns theory speaking in terms of love, seeking to establish the relationship between “ l’âmour” and theory.

Freud au XXIe siècle - Freud in the 21th century

Colloque bilingue et pluridisciplinaire organisé par Jan Goldstein (University of Chicago)

Avec son ouvrage pionnier, L'Interprétation des Rêves, publié en 1900, Sigmund Freud appartient bien au XXème siècle. Ses théories controversées ont influencé non seulement les patients souffrants de troubles nerveux mais aussi les sciences humaines et sociales jusqu'à la culture populaire.Ce colloque entend montrer la place de Freud dans le monde intellectuel depuis l'orée du XXème siècle : Conserve-t- il une position privilégiée ? Comment les lecteurs anglo-américains et français se sont-ils appropriés ses textes ?
