  W. E. B. Du Bois, Scholar, Activist and Passeur between America, Europe and Africa

  Foundations, Circulations and Legacies

  Trained in Classical languages (Latin and Greek), Philosophy, Sociology and History, both in the US and Europe, W. E. B. Du Bois’s intellectual inquiry into the nature of Blackness covers a wide range of disciplines, from History to Political Philosophy, from Sociology to Literature and Poetry, from Art Criticism to Musicology. The colloquium will embrace this multiplicity of approaches which characterizes Du Bois’s work and, at the same time, capture the profound unity of his thought which can be found in the analysis of the “concept of race.” Special attention will also be given to the determinant role played by W. E. B. Du Bois in the transatlantic circulation of knowledge and intellectual commerce between the US, Europe and Africa.

  Rethinking pictures

  A transatlantic dialogue

  On the occasion of the launch of Picturing, the first volume of the Terra Foundation Essays, a new publication series exploring themes of critical importance to the history of arts and visual culture of the United States, the Deutsches Forum für Kunstgeschichte, Paris, and the Terra Foundation for American Art are jointly organizing a conference to further the transatlantic dialogue about what pictures are and what they do. This conference invites speakers to reflect on the differences and convergences between the intellectual traditions of visual studies and Bildwissenschaft. Are there ways to think about pictures anew by bringing these models more closely together?  Does the move away from visuality towards the material offer possibilities for overcoming early differences between these two approaches?

  World War 2 : History, Art and Memory

  The session will be divided into three complementary sections with the aim of exploring in an original manner a historical moment—the Second World War—that is crucial for the understanding of the contemporary world. The first part of the course will be devoted to the study of Franco-American relations during the war, providing us the opportunity to revisit well-known political and military events from the perspective of American press coverage. The second part of the course will examine the war through the official War Artists' scheme launched in 1939. The third and final part of the course will approach the memory of the Second World War through films that have played a crucial role in shaping our memory of this event, from 1945 to the present day.

  French Theory: reception in the visual arts in the United States between 1965 and 1995

  Nombreux sont les artistes américains, actifs dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, à avoir nourri leur réflexion et leur pratique des apports de la philosophie, des études littéraires et des sciences sociales. À cet égard, un certain nombre d'auteurs français ont bénéficié très tôt d'un intérêt soutenu. La perspective de ce colloque sera l'étude de la réception de cette « pensée française » dans le domaine des arts visuels à partir de 1965 et jusqu'en 1995, veille d'un mouvement d'évaluation critique de l'influence de ces auteurs sur la pensée intellectuelle américaine, initiée entre autres par la désormais fameuse « affaire Sokal ».
