The manufacture of a literary heritage in Bolivia
À partir de l’étude du cas bolivien, cette journée a pour objectif de comprendre comment se construit le canon littéraire d’un pays à un moment déterminé ; quels sont les mécanismes de sélection / reproduction du canon et les fonctions de légitimation de ce corpus. La journée réunira des spécialistes de littérature dont certains sont aussi acteurs dans la construction de ce canon. Il s’agira donc d’initier la démarche exploratoire par des communications que nous pouvons entendre autant comme des analyses et des témoignages d’une histoire en train de se faire. Ce projet, s’inscrit dans une perspective plus large, préparer un colloque international autour du bicentenaire de la Bolivie en 2025.

Thinking social ties in Iberian America
Languages, experiences and temporalities (16th-21st centuries)
De l’époque de la Conquête et de la colonisation jusqu’à nos jours, les liens sociaux ont été extraordinairement intenses, complexes et conflictuels en Amérique ibérique. Il est possible d’explorer le langage social de la solidarité et de la désunion, et de se demander comment, depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, les sciences sociales et la psychologie sociale ont oscillé entre discours, enquêtes et conceptualisations selon une tentative toujours renouvelée de rendre compte des spécificités, des pathologies et des adaptations de sociétés de plus en plus diversifiées. En tant qu’élément substantiel du lien social, la mémoire collective peut être abordée selon une perspective historiographique qui explore la diversité de ses motifs et de ses manifestations tout au long des cinq derniers siècles.

Envisioning Latin America: Power and Representation in audiovisual (re)productions
This issue seeks to critically address power structures in audiovisual (re)productions in and from Latin America and discuss how these play a role in the societal construction and representation of individual and collective identities, the ‘us’ and the ‘other’. By doing so, it aims at understanding how these representations – and broader discourses associated therewith – can be critically examined through media productions (cinema, television, radio, photography etc.) and their use as historical sources.

The First World War in the Caribbean - publication of a collective work
Publication d'un ouvrage collectif
Le livre sera consacré à l'impact de la première guerre mondiale dans les Antilles. La première guerre mondiale a donné lieu à un grand nombre de recherches universitaires. Elle représente une rupture fondamentale dans l’histoire du XXème siècle. Comme le signale George-Henri Soutou la Grande Guerre a été la « matrice du XXème siècle ». Même des territoires très éloignés des tranchées et des champs de bataille européens furent durablement ébranlés par les conséquences de ce conflit. L’Australie commémore toujours la bataille de Gallipoli, au Canada les batailles de Vimy ou de Passchendaele font partie de la mémoire collective, des historiens ont montré quels ont été les implications de cette guerre dans les colonies africaines et asiatiques. En revanche, la mémoire des pays latino-américains était jusqu’à récemment incomplète.

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.

The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance
Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

Sedition and Revolt in Modern European Political Thought
As part of the ANR project “Cultures of Revolts and revolutions in Europe”, we wish to bring together international contributors in a discussion of the european political thought brought about by various uprisings between the end of the Middle Ages and the modern era, whether it be reflections over a particular event, or more general considerations over the causes of sedition and protest movements, the means to prevent or suppress new episodes, and their adverse – or regenerative – effects.

The reception of his works and his influence on European literature from the Middle-Ages to the present time
With the contribution of specialists in several branches of humanities, our purpose is to bring to light some neglected or partially studied aspects of this great classical thinker and exemplary figure of scientific eclecticism, who played a great part in the universalization of knowledge. We will pay special attention to the way in which Boethius’ scientific and cultural legacy was included in the works of other European authors, and was renewed according to the feelings, anxieties and aspirations particular to every age and historical context.

Innovaciones y novedades en el campo de estudios alfonsíes
Les études récentes relatives à Alphonse X constituent un profond renouveau de la connaissance que nous avons aujourd'hui du monarque. De nombreuses pistes permettant une juste appréciation de la réalité alphonsine ont ainsi pu être identifiées. Grâce à la collaboration de l'Université de Birmingham et plus particulièrement du Estoria de Espana Project dirigé par le professeur Aengus Ward, l'atelier LEMSO (Littérature Médiévale et du Siècle d'Or, FRAMESPA, CNRS-UMR 5136) de l'Université de Toulouse - Jean Jaurès organise une journée d'études dédiés aux innovations dans le champ des études alphonsines. La journée regroupera de jeunes chercheurs ainsi que des spécialistes du sujet avec pour objectif l'examen de quelques mythes associés à Alphonse X. Nous proposerons de nouvelles erspectives relatives à la connaissance du Roi Savant à partir de travaux et méthodes inédits.

Empire of letters and Tigers of parchment
International Medieval Congress
Script is not a neutral communication medium. Scripts were particularly used throughout the Middle Ages to stage the idea of Empire, power and domination. The writing has the ability to connote authority and Empire and to inspire respect. On the other hand, the scriptural domain is a world in itself with its coherence and history. The idea of an ‘Empire of letters’ may have emerged within this world too. Both parts of this “empire of letters” are relevant for the palaeographical sessions on the specific thematic strand of ‘Empire’ organised at the International Medieval Congress 2014 in Leeds and sponsored by Apices and Cap Digital.
