La journée d'étude se propose d'explorer, à travers un large éventail de sources et d’animaux, les relations qui unissent noblesse et animal au Moyen Âge et à l'époque moderne, dans les mondes hispaniques et lusophones. Les réflexions se situeront à la croisée de deux axes d'étude principaux ; celui de la noblesse par l'animal, d'une part, qui fait de l’animal l'un des éléments identifiants et identitaires indispensables à une certaine ostentation aristocratique. Le deuxième axe de réflexion sera celui de la noblesse de l’animal. Mise en lumière par une branche novatrice de la recherche, elle prend en considération l’animal non plus seulement comme compagnon de l’homme mais comme un individu à part entière qui possède sa propre identité et sa propre noblesse.

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.

Dogmas and paradigms of marginality in the arts and contemporary Hispanic literature
L'objectif de ce colloque est de s'interroger sur les représentations du personnage marginal dans les arts et la littérature hispanique contemporaine. Dans une approche pluridisciplinaire, nous cherchons à comprendre comment ce phénomène qui traverse les frontières est perçu ou dénoncé dans un pays voisin comme l'Espagne ou bien dans des aires plus lointaines telles que les pays de l'Amérique latine ? Quel discours, littéraire ou artistique, veillera à ne pas résumer l'individualité du marginal à des principes normalisés et standardisants ? Et quelles ruptures culturelles, sociétales ou linguistiques produit l'apparition du marginal en le repensant comme l'ineffable épuisement de nos systèmes de référence ?

The reception of the Spanish Golden Age in Germanophone countries
Le colloque propose de s’interroger, de manière diachronique et comparatiste, sur la chronologie, les formes et les enjeux de la réception du Siècle d’Or dans les pays germanophones : Certaines périodes et certains genres se sont-ils révélés particulièrement propices à ces échanges ? Dans quel contexte (politique, culturel, idéologique) ? Qui sont les médiateurs favorisant cette réception (des traducteurs, des artistes, des mécènes, des voyageurs, des écrivains…) ? Quelles images de l’autre pays ont-ils transmises dans leurs œuvres ? Quelles fonctions la réception du Siècle d’Or a-t-elle eues (enjeux esthétiques, idéologiques…) ? Quelle en a été la fécondité ?

When women film: the documentary in the Iberian peninsula and in the Latin-American continent
Ce colloque international et interuniversitaire aura pour objet l'étude de la production documentaire réalisée par des femmes des pays de la péninsule ibérique ou du continent latino-américain. Il a pour visée de repenser, dans une perspective transdisciplinaire, les cadres épistémologiques de l’analyse de l’image documentaire. Il réfléchira aux manières dont les films documentaires, maintenus dans une double marginalité, celle du documentaire et celle due au statut des femmes, ont agi comme des opérations d’intelligibilité du monde.

The epoch of space. State and new perspectives
For centuries, the study of time was one of the main academic interests in the field of Humanities. However, in the second half of the 20th century, most scholars and philosophers shifted their focus to the question of space. The interest in studying this in the field of the arts has increased significantly in recent years, and is especially noticeable in the case of literary creations.The growing influence of ecocriticism and geocriticism is especially noticeable in digital humanities. The bridges recently built between these fields are already proving to be productive, as they have led to the development of new tools, approaches, and methodologies, such as deep mapping techniques and the spatial humanities. How have the disciplines evolved in recent years? Do we need to redefine the key concepts regarding space and place? Has our relationship with territory changed? Have we produced new ways of inhabiting space?

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.

Artistic production in the transnational cultural networks
Simultaneous geographies and temporalities
Boletín de Arte calls to send works on artistic production in the transnational cultural networks. Simultaneous geographies and temporalities. In the field of academic production and in the exhibition world there have been, in the last years, several historiographic reconsiderations that, backed by postcolonial and decolonial studies and visual culture, and with the objective of making an horizontal history of art, aim to question the hierarchical relations between the artistic production centers and to foster pluralisms and transnational networks of artistic and intellectual exchange.Works that address specific problems and cases related to the suggested topic, appealing to the contributions of the mentioned perspectives will be received for the section ARTICLES. Proposals that discuss the epistemological and methodological scope of these perspectives will be received for the section APPROACHES.

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).

Episcopal, Canonical and Secular Memorial Devices in Medieval Cathedrals
Art, Architecture, Liturgy and Writing
TEMPLA invites international researchers into medieval art history and related disciplines to debate the concept and expression of “dynamic episcopal and canonical commemoration” which occurred in European episcopal sees during the medieval period. The concept of commemoration goes beyond the funerary to include all those works, activities and uses of space that transmit through time a record of bishops and canons, their institutions, and important lay people. These commemorative works, however, were grafted onto a common setting that was in use over a long period of time. Thus, each cathedral setting witnessed the emergence of different dynamics in terms of the interactions and intersections between individual and/or collective memory.

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.
