  African and Gypsy categorizations in France

  The process of ethnicization in ordinary discourse

  In France, Bulgarian and Romanian migrants identified as “Roma” and usually living in slums are regularly the targets of categorizations, of rejection and of xenophobic violence. Even though other immigrated populations, such as Africans, have been subject to this type of ostracism for some time, the spectre of racism and xenophobia has spread under the effect of the diffusion of a number of political and media discourses. Whether coming from the right or the left of the political spectrum, these differentialist discourses stem from the highest level of the State, and have been regularly relayed by the media, thus legitimizing their presence within the French public space.

  The Alain Resnais archipelago

  International conference

  L’univers cinématographique d'Alain Resnais (1922-2014) forme un paysage aussi singulier qu’insaisissable, privilégiant les démarcations floues, les topographies imprévues. Dans leur ouvrage, Alain Resnais : liaisons secrètes, accords vagabonds (Paris, 2006), Jean-Louis Leutrat et Suzanne Liandrat-Guigues invoquent l’image de l’archipel comme point d’entrée dans un monde à la fois dense et élusif, constitué de territoires multiples et éparpillés néanmoins reliés par un fil souterrain. Ce colloque a pour but de (re)baliser l’« archipel Resnais » en traçant les héritages et les sources d’influences du cinéaste. Favorisant un dialogue interdisciplinaire, il accueillera des intervenants venant de disciplines les plus diverses. Cet événement représentera aussi la première étape vers une publication d’essais novateurs sur Resnais.
