  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?

  Finding Democracy in Music

  For a century and more musicians have sought to relate their practices to the values of democracy. But political theory teaches that democracy is a highly contested category. This symposium aims to interrogate claims for the “democratic” nature of music.

  Protest in French and Francophone Arts and Culture

  Society for French Studies Postgraduate Conference 2016

  Protest is an intrinsic part of human culture, which enables subjects to express their dissatisfaction with existing social structures and hegemonic hierarchies of power. Protests have occurred across time periods and contexts, and have taken numerous different forms, ranging from personal expressions of discontent to united movements for revolutionary change. Protests can be individual or collective, personal or political, spontaneous or carefully planned, but they are generally orientated towards destabilising the status quo and establishing new modes of existence. Over the ages, political, social and cultural protests have successfully toppled authoritarian regimes, exposed and confronted dominant imbalances of power, and ameliorated conditions for disenfranchised members of society.

  When Books and Art Hurt

  Censorship, Emotions and Cultural Regulation in South Asia

  This workshop aims at exploring issues of literary and artistic censorship in South Asia (India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) by focusing on the way anticipated "hurt" often justifies the policing and regulation of the artistic sphere (cinema, visual arts, literature). Our point of departure is, in the words of Arjun Appadurai, the observation that culture is today the field "where fantasies of purity, authenticity, borders and security can be enacted" and that the same censors patrol the boundaries of politics and aesthetics (Coetzee). In the Indian subcontinent "hurt feelings" are often reactivated or cultivated, staged and mass-mediatised to claim recognition and legitimacy in the public sphere, to require compensation or "redressal". Many artists, writers and academics point to a politics of ultra-sensitivity and a thriving "marketplace of outrage". Our objective in this workshop is to question the vocabulary, topicality and tangibility of "hurt" in the public sphere on these issues of artistic regulation in South Asia, and to understand what it means to say that words or images wound.

  Changing the Tune : musiques populaires et politique au XXIe siècle

  De la chute du communisme au Printemps arabe

  Le champ d’étude dédié aux musiques populaires a abondamment exploré la question politique. S’y est développée une tradition, féconde, d’analyse des rapports entre musique et pouvoir, des pratiques symboliques par lesquelles passe l’affirmation identitaire des subcultures (cultural, gender, postcolonial studies), ainsi que de la politisation des musiques populaires, depuis les mouvements syndicaux du XIXe siècle jusqu’aux héritiers de la contre-culture des années 1960. En revanche, rares sont les auteurs à s’être penchés sur les effets du nouveau contexte géopolitique et technologique de la fin du XXe et du début du XXIe siècles. Les transformations géopolitiques, culturelles et technologiques suivant la chute du bloc soviétique, l’accélération de la mondialisation, l’avènement de l’ère numérique et d’internet ou, plus récemment encore, les bouleversements politiques tels que le Printemps arabe et les différentes déclinaisons du mouvement « Occupy », par exemple, sont encore trop timidement étudiés par les chercheurs. Depuis plus de vingt ans désormais, les musiques populaires ont recomposé les formes de leur engagement en puisant dans la diversité du matériau qu’offrent un long héritage tout autant que ce nouvel environnement. C’est sur ces nouveaux usages, pratiques et significations politiques que nous souhaitons réfléchir à l’occasion de cette conférence internationale.

  Colloque - Représentations

  Musique d’État et dictature

  Ce colloque est consacré à l'étude de cas issus de contextes historiques différents, comme l’Allemagne nazie et l’Italie fasciste, l’URSS et les autres pays du Bloc de l’Est, les régimes de Franco en Espagne et de Salazar au Portugal, la France de Vichy ou les dictatures latino-américaines des années soixante-dix, entre autres. Mais aussi, aux questions théoriques que soulèvent ces répertoires, longtemps perçus comme de simples outils de propagande peu dignes d’un intérêt musicologique ou historique.

  Music and Migration

  This conference will explore the relationship between music and migration by providing new insights into the creative practices and life-stories of migrant artists across the globe. A core theme of the conference will be the motivations and experiences of migrant musicians who leave, return, stay or move beyond their localities. Through the focus on such specific groups of migrants the conference aims to throw light on their identifications in their artistic and every-day lives. Past and on-going research shows that patterns of migration are clearly linked to transnational networks. By focusing on the role of migrant musicians within such networks, this conference seeks to analyse and understand the extent to which musicians’ networks may or may not be special cases within migration studies.
