  Internet, Digital Data, Power and Rivalries in the Post-Soviet Area

  For more than a decade, Internet and digital networks have played a central part in most of the contemporary conflicts. Whether it deals with their storage, circulation, production or their manipulation (both literally and figuratively), digital data are being mobilized in a wide array of geopolitical crises and rivalries. Moreover, more numerous and diverse strategies are being developed to control these data as the ongoing datafication of society widens its reach into new areas of human activity. Computer piracy, the destruction of infrastructures and the manipulation of information have become tools in the hands of a growing number of actors willing to confirm or reverse a given geopolitical power relationship. The post-Soviet area constitutes a fertile ground for the deployment of such tactics and strategies of control. Disrupting the circulation networks, or the treatment and storage infrastructures of digital data, has progressively become a full-fledged strategy in the conflicts and rivalries that permeate this post-imperial space. As such, the struggle between several “imagined communities” (Anderson), grounded on diverging representations of memory, identity, and language, constitutes a powerful catalyzer of digital conflictuality.

  France and the 1917 revolutions in Russia - new sources and new perspectives

  Nouvelles sources, nouveaux regards

  À l’occasion du centenaire des Révolutions russes de février et d’octobre 1917, cette journée d'études propose de nouveaux regards sur les « événements de Russie » à partir de nouvelles sources et des travaux récents, s’inscrivant dans une double temporalité, celle, très courte, de l’année 1917 et celle, plus longue, de l’immédiat après-guerre, et dans un double espace territorial, celui des territoires nationaux de la France et de la Russie et celui, plus vaste et plus imprécis, de l'ancien espace de l'Empire tsariste et de ses nationalités.

  The Lenin of philosophers

  Les interventions de Lénine dans le champ philosophique ont été jugées diversement, de circonstance, insignifiantes, ou au contraire surchargées d’enjeux idéologiques et politiques. Elles ne donnent pourtant pas la mesure des interprétations et usages qui ont été fait de la pensée de Lénine au fil du siècle. Ce colloque y sera consacré.

  1917-2017: Comparative Looks on the Soviet Artistic Avant-Gardes

  The Soviet artistic avant-gardes have been raising a specific interest for a long time. For instance, their multiple practices, their theoretical apparatus, their opuses as well as the influences they exerted have been largely surveyed by the academic world. Ever since the 1990’s a reappraisal of the multiple reuses and reinterpretations of those “avant-gardes” have been carried out. Our international symposium aims to question and put into context that reappraisal and the renewal it induces in the field of scholarly research. The year 2017 as an historical landmark, the centenary of the Russian revolutions, offers a conducive environment for such reflections and thoughts. While evocating various and contradictory narratives, this centenary leads to rethink the vast array of meanings embodied by the revolutionary events as well as to shed a new light on the opuses they produced or lived through.
