Picturing Tomorrow: Future-directed Imagination in American Art
How do we understand the concept of the future? Is it inevitable and shaped by a long sequence of events and interconnected chance occurrences? Or do we conceive of it as something that is determined by our actions and decisions in the present day? Is it a pure potentiality, a promise of a radically different world and yet unimaginable existence? Or is it something that is forever unreachable, something that defines our experience of the present as a perpetual state of deferral and transience?

Gloria Anzandúa : Translating B/borders
Gloria Evangelina Anzaldúa (1942-2004) is a major figure in many inter-disciplines, disciplinary areas of scholarship and art. She was born in the U.S., in the Rio Grande Valley at the border of Texas and Mexico into a family that had been in the U.S. for six generations, and died in Santa Cruz, California. Anzaldúa contributed foundational works to Chicana/o/x cultural theory, feminist theory and queer theory.

The circulation of popular culture between Ireland and the USA (18th-21st centuries)
Dans le système de culture mondialisée qui caractérise les sociétés contemporaines, l'organisation d'un colloque international invite à concentrer l’attention sur un cas d’étude, la circulation des diverses formes de culture populaire entre Irlande et États-Unis. L’ancienneté, la constance et de l’intensité des échanges culturels entre les deux nations sont en effet largement antérieurs à la mondialisation culturelle ultra-contemporaine. Cette singularité inscrite dans la longue durée permet de mettre en perspective les phénomènes contemporains tout en les interrogeant.

Undertaking and translating culture. The study of Amerindian cases
En el mundo contemporáneo indígena y amazónico especialmente, observamos desde hace algún tiempo nuevas maneras de mostrarse o darse a ver, a veces a través de un intercambio de servicios o una prestación cultural, que remite a formas empresariales poco investigadas como el ecoturismo comunitario, la danza folklórica, la gastronomía indígena, la empresa comunitaria, entre otros. Para difundir esta oferta, los modos de comunicación modernos utilizados son variados: videos, blogs, redes sociales, etc., que incluyen escrituras diversas. A partir de estudios de casos etnográficos precisos, nos interrogaremos sobre la relación entre las formas de mostración indígena y los contextos económico, social y político en los que emergen; los contenidos expuestos y sus formas; los actores involucrados en estos procesos; y lo que es un empresario indígena hoy en día. El objetivo de este panel es el de presentar las premisas de una investigación sobre estos problemas emergentes.

Representations of Power and Power of the Image in British and American Contemporary Photography
Représentations du pouvoir et pouvoir de l’image dans la photographie contemporaine américaine et britannique
From the power of images to images of power, this workshop will explore the representations of power and the power of representation in contemporary American and British photography. What is photography capable of doing? Whether in the form of a public person, the environment of power (emblematic places and explicit or underlying forms) or its symbolism, what is photography capable of revealing about power itself? Political, institutional, economic or social power all depend upon a system of relations or tensions between groups or individuals (accepted, rejected, questioned, expressed visually or internalized) participating in the construction of the identity, myths or memories of the American or British nations. In what manner does photography enhance or contribute to this construction or deconstruction of the notion of identity and nation?

Art of Medieval Sculpture, 1100-1550
L’Université de Pennsylvanie (Philadelphie), l’Institut national d’histoire de l’art (Paris) et le Philadelphia Museum of Art mettent en place un cycle de journées d’étude et de colloques organisé durant l’année 2012 afin de faire progresser les études sur la sculpture médiévale et de leur donner une meilleure visibilité scientifique et publique. Ces trois institutions se proposent de constituer un groupe de travail flexible mais cohérent constitué d’universitaires, de conservateurs et de doctorants. Ce groupe est appelé à se rassembler à plusieurs reprises dans l’année afin de faire progresser la recherche touchant à la sculpture médiévale. La succession de ces réunions est organisée selon une séquence, conçue volontairement de manière croissante en termes d’intensité et complexité, depuis l’analyse des considérations basées largement sur les objets eux-mêmes (à Paris), pour s’élargir aux questions relatives au statut de la sculpture en tant qu’objet (à Kalamazoo) puis, finalement, pour traiter plus largement encore des interprétations sur le rôle de l’œuvre sculpturale dans le champ des études de la culture visuelle (au colloque de Philadelphie). -
