Picturing Tomorrow: Future-directed Imagination in American Art
How do we understand the concept of the future? Is it inevitable and shaped by a long sequence of events and interconnected chance occurrences? Or do we conceive of it as something that is determined by our actions and decisions in the present day? Is it a pure potentiality, a promise of a radically different world and yet unimaginable existence? Or is it something that is forever unreachable, something that defines our experience of the present as a perpetual state of deferral and transience?

Creation Workshops
Journée d'étude annuelle de la revue doctorante Les Chantiers de la Création (Aix Marseille Université). La revue Les Chantiers de la Création s'intéresse spécifiquement aux dynamiques poïétiques en revisitant des notions problématiques susceptibles d'être fécondes. Elle questionne l'art et l'histoire, les événements et les œuvres, et les œuvres en tant qu'événements. Elle se consacre particulièrement à l’étude des déclencheurs inattendus de l’acte créatif ; elle interroge ses moteurs, ses détours, ses écarts.

Heraldry in Medieval and Early Modern State-Rooms
Towards a Typology of Heraldic Programmes in Spaces of Self-Representation
Heraldry was an ubiquitous element of state-rooms. Whether in palaces of kings and princes, castles of noblemen, residences of patricians, city halls or in cathedral chapters, heraldic display was a crucial element in the visual programme of these spaces. Despite its omnipresence, however, heraldic display in state-rooms remains largely understudied so far. This workshop aims to explore these heraldic programmes in state-rooms in medieval and early modern Europe and to suggest an initial typology of this phenomenon.

Art, hybridation and circulation in the time of the American empires (13th-17th centuries)
El siglo XVI representó una época de grandes cambios y transformaciones que marcaron la vida política y económica del Viejo Mundo. Los europeos impulsaron una empresa mundial del saber que contribuyó a la creación de nuevas culturas y nuevos saberes, adaptadas a las circunstancias particulares de la interacción, que fueron reelaboradas por las poblaciones nativas bajo la influencia de las tradiciones locales. Uno de los ámbitos en los que puede apreciarse esta “mezcla” es en el campo artístico, donde la influencia de los motivos indígenas es incuestionable. En estas jornadas, se cuestionarán las formas híbridas que se producieron en el campo del arte con el contacto entre los imperios americanos e peninsulares así como la circulación de objetos, personas y saberes entre ambos lados del Atlántico. Tampoco se olvidarán las influencias del arte americano sobre Europa.

Trench art and the trenches in art. The Great War, a hundred years on
Pour signaler le centenaire du début de la Première Guerre Mondiale, l’Institut de Littérature Comparée de la Faculté de Lettres de l’Université de Porto s’associe aux organismes officiels – Ministère des Affaires Étrangères et Mairie de Porto – qui organisent plusieurs activités commémoratives de l’éphéméride à Porto. Dans ce Colloque Inters-disciplinaire, il s’agira d’approfondir le débat autour de la participation portugaise à la Première Grande Guerre, moyennant une réflexion générale et articulée qui, au-delà des questions purement historico-politiques, touche les différents domaines artistiques, tout particulièrement le domaine de la littérature.

Changing the Tune: Popular Music and Politics in the XXIst century
From the fall of communism to the Arab spring
Popular Music scholars have devoted considerable attention to the relationship between music and power. The symbolic practices through which subcultures state and reinforce identities have been widely documented (mainly in the field of Cultural, Gender and Postcolonial Studies), as has the increasingly political and revolutionary dimensions of popular music. Most studies have focused on the genres and movements that developed with and in the aftermath of the 1960’s counterculture. Yet little has been written about how the politics of popular music has reflected the social, geopolitical and technological changes of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, after the fall of Communism. Still, the music of the Arab Spring or of the Occupy and Indignados movements have been scarcely commented upon while they attest to significant changes in the way music is used by activists and revolutionaries today.

The Work of Art, Particular and Universal
At the same time symbols of a specific cultural identity and bearers of a message of universal level, the art pieces and their interpretations carry a semiotic tension. The matter of this symposium is to explore the dialectic between identity and universality from the historical point of view and through three different thematic.
