    Women in the public space, 1800-1939

    Great Britain, Ireland, Empire and Commonwealth

    “The Angel in the House” is the image most commonly retained of British women in the nineteenth century. This reductive and repressive ideal, emerging from values propagated by the literary, religious, medical political discourses of the time, still persists today in the collective unconscious. Although this model has increasingly been questioned by researchers in the humanities, the focus has tended to be on the beginning of the 20th century. This one-day conference aims to pursue this still neglected area, bringing the Victorian and Edwardian woman further out of her “cloister” or “sphere”, and exploring the destinies of those women who occupied the public space in Great Britain, Ireland and, by extension, the Empire: activists, explorers, artists, writers and sportswomen to name but a few.

    Environment and post-human in Scotland

    Representation and memory of land, nature and the living

    Ce colloque international étudiera comment l'environnement — la terre et la nature — a été représenté et considéré à travers les âges et comment l'environnement a souvent assumé une place centrale dans l'expression artistique, politique, sociale et culturelle de l'Écosse. Nous examinerons comment ces éléments se situent par rapport à l'être humain, à son passé et son histoire, son existence présente et son devenir : ses dimensions humaines et posthumaines. L'environnement et la nature sont au cœur des préoccupations actuelles et des paradigmes scientifiques : les discours politiques, imprégnés d'écologie et de respect de l'habitat, ont souvent mis en avant un retour à la nature. L'histoire, la civilisation, la politique, l'art, la littérature et le cinéma écossais nous permettront d'explorer ces thèmes.
