  Women of the Americas

  The recognition of women’s place in American societies has become a crucial social, cultural, political and economic issue, as evidenced by worldwide protest movements such as Ni Una Menos that started in Argentina – a feminist movement fighting against feminicides and gender-based violence – or the Women’s March against President Donald Trump in the United States. Whether these protests have to do with the struggle for women’s right to vote, the sexual revolution that started in the 1960s, or social movements denouncing gender-based violence in urban and rural environments, they highlight a continuity between yesterday’s feminist fights and their re-adaptation in the public space.

  The Predatory Museum

  39th annual International Committee for Museology (ICOFOM) symposium

  Have visitors ever wondered how museums acquire the wonderful things they present to the enquiring public? It is certain that some do, but how many would see the museum as a predator?  Would they ever recognize the museum activity of acquiring the valued collections that are put on display as the result of a predatory undertaking? It is true that museums are discerning but eager recipients of gifts offered by individuals who cross their threshold and who are willing to donate or bequeath their treasured possessions to their local museum. These ongoing acts of charity aside, museums have other avenues of collection-building which they explore and have done so since their inception.

  The creation, experimentation and spread of Spanish and Latin-American contemporary theatre

  Influencé par les essais d'Antonin Artaud, de Jerzy Grotowski, de Bertolt Brecht, par les réalisations du Living Theatre, du Bread and Puppet, de l'Odin Teatret, de Peter Brook, de Tadeuz Kantor, ainsi que par le happening et la performance, le théâtre contemporain espagnol et latino-américain opte pour des créations souvent collectives par le biais desquelles puisse se construire une esthétique nouvelle où se mélangent les arts et s'intensifie l'expression corporelle. Il invite le public à la réflexion, à une immersion sensorielle. Il délivre un message politique, propose une vision critique de la société actuelle dénuée de toute intention moralisatrice. Il investit des espaces qui n'ont pas été pensés pour accueillir des représentations théâtrales. Il abolit parfois même les frontières entre la scène et la salle et il invite le public à participer à une cérémonie collective. Ce colloque international a pour objectif de réunir aussi bien des chercheurs spécialistes de théâtre espagnol et latino-américain que des professionnels des arts scéniques, des dramaturges, des metteurs en scène, des comédiens, des directeurs de théâtre et des professionnels de la traduction.

  First International Symposium on Primitivism

  The First International Symposium on Primitivism aims to shed new light on a debate that has been given little attention in the field of Humanities, and which focuses on the relationship between Art and the Primitive. The disciplinary foundation of these studies is in History and Art Theory. However, it is also necessarily interdisciplinary, to the extent that we are interested in understanding the aesthetic phenomena that constitute Western art, not only from the perspective of an artistic history, but also – and especially – from its imbrications with aesthetics, culture, society, and politics.

  The ruin

  Sociétés journal devotes its next issue to the subject of “the ruin”. This issue aims to revisit and extend the notion of ruin considering its spatial, social, architectural, and urban imaginary. A Ruin is a representation and a pictorial resource of the landscape, is a metaphysical way of thought, a purpose and a primitive view. In this sense, memory, architecture and symbol, life and death, decay and rebirth, time and duration, rust and bones, the eternal communication, previous utopia and inner experience, the decomposition and recomposition, ecosophy and economics of conflict, obsolescence and "affordance", are some of the subjects that derive from ruin as status quo: an 'imaginal' foundation of the romanticism and a sensitivity of our contemporaneous world.
