Music, Tradition and Creativity in the Digital Era
New Ethnomusicological Perspectives From the Global South
This Symposium will explore how digital media and new technologies have affected the ways through which musicians, producers and researchers experiment and engage with "traditional" musical forms, in Colombia and in other parts of the world. The participants are invited to share their research results and methodological experimentations in the field of applied ethnomusicology, music pedagogy, performance, digital audio production or digital humanities about the study of the impact of digital technologies about current musical practices. This Symposium will also include the presence of several local musicians and producers who will conduct workshops on "traditional" Colombian music and music from other countries of the global South.

Zouk : Trajectories, imaginations and perspectives
Dans la Caraïbe et ailleurs, quel impact le zouk a-t-il eu et a-t-il sur les littératures, les arts, les modes de vie, sur l'organisation sociale, les modes de communication, les consciences, les esprits, les imaginaires ? Le zouk a-t-il transformé les sociétés créoles, les sociétés du « sud » culturellement, politiquement, socialement ? Quel est l'impact du zouk sur les productions internationales ? Quand on sait que le zouk en tant que musique populaire, tient le haut du pavé dans la sphère française, en matière de ventes, de certifications, de récompenses et de représentativité nationale, ne peut-on pas l'envisager en Guadeloupe comme en Martinique, comme un moteur de l'économie culturelle et touristique qui permettrait la synergie d'un réseau allant de l'exploitation, via la production (diffusion, édias, internet, métiers des arts, du spectacle et de la scène, de la communication, de l'information...) ?

Ex-voto: international perspectives
Des experts internationaux se réunissent pour commenter la particularité de l'objet votif. L'ex-voto peut être défini comme un remerciement que les croyants font à une divinité, mais les pratiques dévotionnelles révèlent une complexité dans l'usage du votif. Des chercheurs travaillant en France, au Japon, au Moyen Orient et au Mexique proposent d'interroger et d'expliquer cette matérialité qu'impose l'ex-voto. Durant ce symposium, seront analysés l'amplitude votive, les modalités de l'écriture du voeu, les créations actuelles qui perpétuent et subvertissent la tradition iconographique et thématique, ainsi que les diverses perspectives pour la conservation et la valorisation de l'ex-voto.

The politics and poetics of museology
40th annual ICOFOM symposium
It has become rather banal to speak of the museum as a place of power. Whether one refers to it as media, as medium, or as device, we must understand that this institution, emblematic of occidental civilization, has always aroused the interests of local political régimes, whatever they may be. The creation of the British Museum and the birth of the Louvre illustrate the many different ways the public has of seeing the links between knowledge and collections. Furthermore the advent of each new political régime (from democracy in America to the Marxist-Leninist system in the Soviet Union, passing by fascist Italy and national-socialist Germany) marks museums with its imprint, as well as its system of communication, preservation and research.

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).

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.

Canada – Quebec – Caribbean: transamerican connections
Les liens entre la région Caraïbe, la province de Québec et le Canada sont anciens et diversifiés. Tourisme, coopérations scientifiques et techniques, extractions de ressources, migrations sont autant de ponts tracés entre le centre géographique des Amériques et son extrémité septentrionale. Plus récemment, c’est dans les secteurs de la préservation de l’environnement, de la participation aux projets régionaux de développement, des migrations transnationales et de l’étude des mémoires partagées que ces relations transcontinentales opèrent leurs mutations afin de se présenter comme des éléments essentiels à la compréhension de « notre Amérique ».

Rewriting: logic of repetition?
III International Conference in Narratives
The third International Conference in Narratives, organized by Universidad EAFIT (Medellín, Colombia) and Università degli Studi di Padova, proposes rewriting as an object of reflection from the arts, humanities, social sciences and communication sciences. To interrogate the gesture of writing a text again, it involves accounting for an operation that, in its apparent simplicity, shows the experience of time and repetition, the recording of memory, the tension between imitation and difference, and the means of reproduction and creation. Along its relationships, objects and notions that it implies, the gesture of rewriting is exemplary and heuristic; it has become a model for understanding various phenomena and cultural practices.

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.

Conference, symposium - Modern
Interdisciplinary strategies and collaborations
This seminar is the first of a series of three talks which will take place in each of the cities explored. It offers a space for collaboration, reflection and exchanges where explorers, partners, associate members and other leading figures are invited to lend an outside perspective. It is an invitation both to reflect on the project itself and to promote a public discussion of its critical perspectives. For instance, what is “knowledge” for an artist, a researcher or an educator, and how is it constructed ? For what discourse and representations are artists, researchers in the humanities and educators responsible ? What research stance should be adopted to meet the challenges of interdisciplinarity and social space ? How do our disciplines of research, creation and social intervention revisit the historical motive for exploration and what relationship do they have with it ?

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Splendor. Sumptuary Arts in the Hispanic Middle Ages
Le département d’histoire de l’art I (médiéval) de l’université Complutense à Madrid organise la septième édition de son séminaire international sur l'art du Moyen Âge. Ces septièmes journées mettront l’accent sur les arts somptuaires du Moyen Âge hispanique en considérant plusieurs perspectives : le rôle des productions somptuaires dans la culture médiévale et leur contribution à l’imaginaire symbolique ; l’usage des objets dans le rituel et dans l’expression du pouvoir ; la valeur des matériaux et de la diversité technique dans la création artistique ; la circulation des œuvres et le phénomène du collectionnisme ; la contribution de muséologie à la mise en valeur des objets dans des nouveaux cadres d’exposition et à la création de nouveaux discours.

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 problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology
Antropológicas Journal
The journal Antropológicas is accepting proposals for publication in its next issue that will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology. Manuscripts should be submitted to the page http://revistas.rcaap.pt/antropologicas/login by the 28th of February of 2013. Antropológicas’ number 13th will address the problem of ethnographic and anthropological methodology, because since the academic statement of its field of knowledge, ethnographic practice and anthropological writing had many debates, both for the originality of the methodology and the scientific accuracy required by their professionals. Among social sciences, anthropology was the one where theoretical discussion about its rationale demanded a greater critical capacity, by placing into question its methodological grounds.

Staging posts and stopovers in Latin America: five centuries of stopovers
Pour une histoire des haltes et des rituels de l'étape en Amérique latine : lieux de vie ou non-lieux ? Comment les voyageurs hispano-américains ou européens, marchands, missionnaires ou soldats, femmes ou hommes, indiens ou créoles faisaient-ils étape sur le continent américain ? La topographie des lieux d’arrêts, l’économie qui leur a été associée, ont évolué avec la modernisation des moyens de transport, l’arrivée du chemin de fer et l’essor de la navigation à vapeur d’un côté et de l’autre du continent américain. Ces territoires du quotidien, à l’opposé de l’apparat des lieux de pouvoir, est-il possible de construire leur histoire parallèlement à l’histoire des moyens de transport et des voies de communication ? -

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.
