Statues, memories and representations during the decolonial era

Nakan journal, no.1. A cultural studies journal

Nakan aims to impulse innovation in the epistemological field of cultural margins. To this effect, the journal’s first issue will focus on the following theme: “Statuary, Memories, and Representations in the Decolonial Era”. The objective is to elucidate the recent events that saw the degradation of statues representing historical figures linked to slavery or colonialism in multiple parts of the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and the United States. This topical issue fits in a context-based reflection on margins spurred by such social movements as Black Lives Matter, among others. What could be the core motivations leading to such actions? The journal invites scholars to a scientific investigation on statuaries and colonial discourse, heritage, memory, myth, and coterminous questions.

5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium

This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

Vine, wine and education from the 18th century to today

The vine, the wine and the education are themes which appear distant and which nevertheless can be gathered around the training program and the places of apprenticeship (high schools wine, universities, schools of oenology ...) and school knowledge through disciplines such as geography, biology, art ...; This does not prevent the School from also fighting against addictions, alcoholism and its excesses. It must be said that vine and wine have always brought people together, constituting a real cultural heritage spread all over the world, wine being then a cultural and societal cultural reference. Thus, this theme could be studied around three main axes by involving several disciplines from the Humanities and Social Sciences but also Sciences and literary and artistic disciplines.

5th congress of the International Ergology Society

La démarche de l’ergologie offre-t-elle une approche pertinente dans le champ des questions intégrant le travail, le patrimoine et le développement ?

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.

All Fontanarrosa: The Work of a Complete Humourist

When the Argentine Roberto Fontanarrosa passed away in 2007, a national day of mourning was declared and his funeral was attended by thousands. Although Fontanarrosa was much loved and both the man and his works have received public recognition time and again, there are very few published academic works on his œuvre to this day. This proposed anthology seeks to fill this gap by paying attention to Fontanarrosa’s work as a whole

Cast iron French art around the world: the paths of distribution

Plus de 300 villes dans 70 pays étrangers, sans compter les milliers de monuments en France : la fonte d'ornement et la fonte d'art d'origine française ont été largement diffusées et, malgré les aléas du temps, ornent de nombreux parcs, jardins, espaces publics. Pourtant, lors de l'inventaire de ces richesses, il est souvent difficile de mettre à jour les mécanismes de diffusion : il y a une part commerciale classique (revendeurs) mais il y a aussi une part de relations diplomatique, politique des réseaux confessionnels, le rôle d'influence de professionnels de l'aménagement urbain... et bien sûr l'image du Paris haussmanien, de Versailles ou des collections du Louvre. Le colloque cherche à mettre en évidence ces jeux d'infliuence et, au-delà, ce que les Anglo-Saxons appellent le soft power : ici à la française.
