  Contemporary receptions of the work of Simone de Beauvoir - France, Italy and Spain (1968-2018)

  Lors de ce colloque consacré aux modalités de réception de l’œuvre de Simone de Beauvoir dans l’espace méditerranéen, nous souhaitons nous interroger sur l’actualité de ses travaux tant philosophiques que littéraires. Le Deuxième Sexe est un texte fondateur du féminisme, mais Mémoires d’une jeune fille rangée, La Force des choses ou La Force de l’âge ont eu un impact considérable sur les esprits, en France sans doute, mais aussi en Italie et en Espagne.

  What remains of postmodernity?

  Since the 70s, the word postmodernity has articulated a tendency, a state of mind, and a condition that resists conceptualization or complete definition. Although the intellectual community has agreed to situate J. F. Lyotard and his key work, The Postmodern condition (1979), as the origin of the debate on this phenomenon, the truth is that the literary theorist Ihab Hassan had already used the word systematically in 1971. Since that date, the notion has spread across the fields of Literature, Architecture, Visual Arts, and the Social Sciences. These are two of the problems that one faces when approaching the surface of the postmodern phenomenon: its lack of definition and its ambiguous periodization.

  Thinking and conducting the transformation of work

  The contribution of the ergological approach and the works of Yves Schwartz

  The ergological approach intends to the co-production of knowledge with the aim of transforming work and more generally the social life. As stated by the scientific project of the Workshop, “the ergological approach, in its history and in its issues, is a priori a subject of interest for everyone, each exploring in its own way the intricacies of human life, but also anyone who wants to think about its own activity and that of others, to reconsider the ways of doing and taking action, of opening new perspectives in ways of working, acting and living”. Yet this approach, which is particularly needed nowadays, is insufficiently known and sometimes considered complex. This is the state of play at the origin of this international workshop for which this call for papers is published.

  New images of femininity

  Depuis plus d’un siècle, l’émancipation des femmes, l’essor des mouvements décoloniaux et l’émergence dans les productions culturelles de points de vue portés par des groupes dits minoritaires ont contribué à mettre en place des discours alternatifs. Des réappropriations, des réinterprétations et des subversions ont eu lieu qui, sur un moyen terme, ont participé à infléchir les représentations de genre. De ce fait, les sociétés occidentales contemporaines semblent évoluer vers un changement de paradigme où, si les femmes ont conquis les droits citoyens et exercent par ailleurs dans des secteurs d’activité variés, elles restent soumises à des exclusions non visibles, telles que le « plafond de verre » et une plus grande précarité dans le monde de l’emploi, ou des violences qui leur sont spécifiques (féminicides, harcèlement sexuel, publisexisme, etc.).

  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).
