Poetics, Politics and the Ruin in Cinema and Theatre since 1945
References to Ancient times have been made in Europe between the two World Wars and the Classical served the idea of “a return to order” considered by some as necessary after the heresies of the avant-gardes. Indeed, the Classical has been manipulated by Fascist and Nazi ideologies in orchestrating the Second World War and the Holocaust. This conference intends to study how artistic processes as well as works of theatre and cinema record the historical and artistic consequences of this trauma in Europe by reinventing Antiquity, in particular, by working with ruins both politically and poetically. While this research is initially rooted in classical reception and theatre and cinema studies, the conference intends to dialogue with other fields including archaeology, aesthetic philosophy, political sciences, anthropology, and media theory.

Conference, symposium - Europe
Colloque en l'honneur de Laurence Brockliss et Colin Jones
In 1997, Laurence Brockliss (Magdalen College, Oxford) and Colin Jones (QMUL) published The Medical World of Early Modern France, a landmark in the history of medicine because of its integration of social and institutional history with intellectual history. It established a vibrant new approach to the history of medicine and knowledge of the early modern period while also encouraging Anglo-French intellectual exchange. As 2017 is the twentieth anniversary of this work’s publication and the year of Laurence Brockliss’s retirement, colleagues and former pupils have organized a colloquium in their honour. Scholars from a range of historical disciplines (classical scholarship/antiquarianism, philosophy, and the natural sciences) will discuss the ways in which knowledge is contextualized in early modern Europe and Britain.

Conference, symposium - Africa
Paper, airwaves, screen: from text to audience in African popular culture
This conference aims to reflect on the critical spaces of reading and listening that occur in and around popular cultural texts in Africa – from songs, magazines, romance fiction, and hip-hop lyrics, to blogs, facebook posts, and urban inscriptions. Drawing on the methods of cultural studies, material print cultures, and the sociology of reception, we seek to engage with the critical vocabulary generated by those spaces of reception at a time of transition for the book object and the reading practices which accompany it. How can this material be researched (archives, interviews, ethnographic observation, digitisation, databases)? How is/might it be integrated into teaching across disciplines?

Paper, waves and screens - from text to public in African popular culture
Les textes propres à une culture populaire africaine forment un abondant corpus composé de matériaux textuels, sonores, et visuels : depuis les chansons, les magazines, la littérature sentimentale, les paroles de hip-hop, jusqu’aux blogs et messages sur Facebook, en passant par les inscriptions urbaines ou les tro-tros à Accra. La culture populaire englobe aussi les nombreuses manières par lesquelles ces objets culturels sont reçus et interprétés, à une échelle locale, nationale, et/ou internationale . Ce domaine de recherche mobilise des méthodes propres aux études culturelles, à l’histoire matérielle de l’imprimé, ainsi qu’à la sociologie de la réception . Le matériau en question reste cependant relativement peu étudié et enseigné, du fait de difficultés d’accès et de débats méthodologiques persistants.

Panel interdisciplinaire « anthropology and heritage studies »
Conférence annuelle de l'ASA (Association of Social Anthropologists of the UK and Commonwealth), 13-16 avril 2015, Exeter
Ce panel a pour objectif de réunir des chercheurs d’horizons disciplinaires et professionnels différents (anthropologie, archéologie, cultural studies, muséologie, métiers du patrimoine...) afin de mener une réflexion interdisciplinaire sur les collaborations et fertilisations théoriques et méthodologiques entre l’anthropologie et les heritage studies. Nous nous interrogerons également sur l'impact de nos recherches sur les publics, les perceptions et les savoirs indigènes, les politiques institutionnelles, et sur l'engagement social et éthique des chercheurs.
