The epoch of space. State and new perspectives

For centuries, the study of time was one of the main academic interests in the field of Humanities. However, in the second half of the 20^th century, most scholars and philosophers shifted their focus to the question of space. The interest in studying this in the field of the arts has increased significantly in recent years, and is especially noticeable in the case of literary creations.The growing influence of ecocriticism and geocriticism is especially noticeable in digital humanities. The bridges recently built between these fields are already proving to be productive, as they have led to the development of new tools, approaches, and methodologies, such as deep mapping techniques and the spatial humanities. How have the disciplines evolved in recent years? Do we need to redefine the key concepts regarding space and place? Has our relationship with territory changed? Have we produced new ways of inhabiting space?

The construction of theoretical discourse in the Middle Ages

Theorica 5. Thinking translation in the Middle Ages

Le programme de recherche « Theorica », initié en 2012, se propose de revisiter l’idée reçue selon laquelle le Moyen Âge serait un temps asystématique et par conséquent inapte à toute théorisation. Pour ce cinquième volet, le domaine retenu a été celui des discours sur la traduction, pour interroger la manière dont le Moyen Âge a ressenti le besoin de théoriser la traduction. Il ne s’agit pas ici d’appliquer les méthodes d’analyse de la traductologie contemporaine aux textes médiévaux mais bien d’interroger le regard porté sur la traduction par les théoriciens et/ou praticiens du Moyen Âge afin de dégager les différentes conceptions de la traduction qui s’opposaient à la fin du Moyen Âge.

The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance

"Forma" Revista d'estudis comparatius. Art, literatura, pensament

Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

Sedition and Revolt in Modern European Political Thought

As part of the ANR project “Cultures of Revolts and revolutions in Europe”, we wish to bring together international contributors in a discussion of the european political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects.

Literature and culture in the transition to democracy in Spain

La transition vue des marges

L’objectif de ces 1^er journées d’étude sur « Littérature et culture de la transition espagnole : la transition vue des marges » est donc d’aborder l’histoire littéraire et culturelle à partir du travail mené par ces mouvements contestataires ou ex-centriques, en soulignant ces manifestations dissidentes comme reflet ou représentation de cette période ; comme une entrée nécessaire pour comprendre les mutations, réajustements, capitulations, innovations qui ont peu à peu composé le tissu littéraire et culturel de ces années-là, et qui expliqueraient les chemins suivis au cours des décennies suivantes.

IV International Conference of Myth Criticism

Myth and Emotions

Along with rational logic there is an emotional logic, responsible for many actions that we carry out. Myth Criticism tends to tackle mythical stories from a structural, social and historical perspective. However, it often ignores the emotional component. It seems as if the affective dimension, particularly active in our contemporary society, is not considered relevant in the studies of mythology. The Conference will examine the function undertaken by emotions in the structure of mythical stories and in the processes of mythification of characters and historical events. The object of the study will focus on ancient, medieval and modern myths in contemporary literature and art (since 1900).

Political discourse and political discussion

El discurso político y los discursos políticos

La recherche linguistique porte depuis longtemps une attention toute particulière aux discours politiques, qui sont présents dans nos sociétés à travers des médias qui contribuent à édifier l’espace public et qui diffusent plus ou moins explicitement leurs tendances idéologiques, offrant ainsi des perspectives d’analyse très variées.

Boethius revisited

The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time

With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.
