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.

Vine, wine and education from the 18th century to today

The vine, the wine and the education are themes which appear distant and which nevertheless can be gathered around the training program and the places of apprenticeship (high schools wine, universities, schools of oenology ...) and school knowledge through disciplines such as geography, biology, art ...; This does not prevent the School from also fighting against addictions, alcoholism and its excesses. It must be said that vine and wine have always brought people together, constituting a real cultural heritage spread all over the world, wine being then a cultural and societal cultural reference. Thus, this theme could be studied around three main axes by involving several disciplines from the Humanities and Social Sciences but also Sciences and literary and artistic disciplines.

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 Predatory Museum

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.

The Politics of Carnival

Transnational, Transhistorical Perspectives

This international conference on carnival will bring together historians, anthropologists, and sociologists to explore the links between carnival and politics as showcased by carnivals in Europe, North America, the Caribbean and Latin America. The purpose of the meeting will be twofold: (1) discuss the evolution of "carnival studies" since the publication of Bakhtin’s Rabelais and His World fifty years ago; (2) use case studies covering a wide range of geographical areas and historical periods (from the Renaissance to the 21^st century) to produce a coherent synthesis of the relationship between carnival and politics.

Family archives

Materialities and inventories: treasuries, arsenals and memorials

La façon et les raisons pour lesquelles les archives de famille étaient inventoriées retiendront ici l’attention, tant pour la péninsule Ibérique que pour le piémont pyrénéen, entre Moyen Âge et modernité. Les inventaires anciens d’archives, plus nombreux qu’on ne le croit, instruments de travail ou registres de prestige, témoignent de l’organisation matérielle des fonds alors constitués, ordonnés d’une certaine manière (sacs, coffres, armoires, pièces et personnel dédiés…), et ce, pour gouverner, affirmer et défendre son pouvoir, construire une mémoire. Pour les familles, en particulier de haut rang, la réalisation d’inventaires n’est jamais innocente : divers contextes, modalités et enjeux ont entouré leur confection, et a fortiori leur révision - en parallèle à des reclassements – ou leur mise en collection au cours du temps ou avec d’autres types d’objets et d’inventaires signifiants pour la famille (meubles, objets précieux, bibliothèques…). L’expertise de ceux qui les ont dressés - visible dans la qualité des descriptions, les cotations et recotations successives - se met ainsi au service d’une famille, d’une politique, de droits, d’un patrimoine qu’il s’agit de faire fructifier, défendre ou quasi sacraliser par la mémoire, une certaine mémoire, des archives, condensée dans les inventaires.

Cast iron French art around the world: the paths of distribution

Plus de 300 villes dans 70 pays étrangers, sans compter les milliers de monuments en France : la fonte d'ornement et la fonte d'art d'origine française ont été largement diffusées et, malgré les aléas du temps, ornent de nombreux parcs, jardins, espaces publics. Pourtant, lors de l'inventaire de ces richesses, il est souvent difficile de mettre à jour les mécanismes de diffusion : il y a une part commerciale classique (revendeurs) mais il y a aussi une part de relations diplomatique, politique des réseaux confessionnels, le rôle d'influence de professionnels de l'aménagement urbain... et bien sûr l'image du Paris haussmanien, de Versailles ou des collections du Louvre. Le colloque cherche à mettre en évidence ces jeux d'infliuence et, au-delà, ce que les Anglo-Saxons appellent le soft power : ici à la française.
