Borders in the Americas – Integration, Security and Migrations
In the aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union, many analysts and experts argued that the world had reached the “end of history” [Fukuyama, 1992] and that regional and local organizations and free trade agreements (among which the European Union appeared to be a model of integration) signaled the emergence of a world without borders. Yet, thirty years later, the reality seems to be altogether different. Today, it is clear that “borders are back”. Whether these borders are challenged, violated, transcended, consolidated, or integrated, they remain necessarily at the heart of the political debate. This symposium will focus on a specific geographic area: the Americas.

History, fiction, representations: the voices that build the Americas
Histoire, fiction, représentations
Ce colloque se propose d’étudier l’état actuel, des années 1970 à nos jours, des questionnements sur l’américanité, saisie dans un sens à la fois local, national et transcontinental. Le continent américain a été et reste un pôle attractif pour des populations/des individus en quête d’un monde nouveau et meilleur, qu’il a acceptés et refoulés tout au long de son histoire. Comment l’américanité, réelle ou mythique, accueillante ou exclusive, opère-t-elle en tant que critère d’une recherche identitaire dans la réélaboration constante et l’évolution des visions culturelles de l’Amérique du nord et de l’Amérique latine ?

Toulouse
Conference, symposium - America
Dans le prolongement des travaux du séminaire « Pop-Poésie... ou Poésie » (FRAMESPA / CAS), le colloque « De largo aliento... / The Long reath... / Le souffle long... » (Toulouse, 14, 15 et 16 mars 2013) invite poètes, critiques, traducteurs et éditeurs à réfléchir sur la forme contemporaine du « poème long », dans la tradition américaine hispanophone, anglophone ou francophone. Car, même si cette poésie aime à jouer sur le mode mineur du fragment, il n’en reste pas moins que les poètes contemporains ont également posé d’autres mesures, plus amples, au long du dernier siècle.

Paris
While classical intertextuality has been a widely studied subject and a much-discussed topic in the field of European literary theory, there exist, as of yet, only one-off studies regarding its developments in the “New World”. Although works by writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and Jorge Luis Borges have often been analyzed from an intertextuality-oriented perspective, and although several research projects, by focusing on this or that national or regional literature of the Continent, have helped cover sizeable blind spots in literary history, the groundwork has yet to be laid for an overall theoretical approach on the ways in which the Ancient Classics have hitherto been reprised and rewritten in the Americas.
