  Dispossession: Feminist post-pornography in Spain and Latin America

  Identification, rejet, fascination, trouble, libération, les explorations féministes contemporaines ne laissent pas de place à l’indifférence. Au sein de l’hispanisme français et depuis CHISPA, centre de recherche sur les cultures hispaniques actuelles et les contre-discours, nous souhaitons ouvrir un espace de réflexion sur les créations post-pornographiques d’Amérique latine et d’Espagne qui se réapproprient les corps et les sexualités, comme autant de dé-possessions vis-à-vis du patriarcat, en ce début de XXI^e siècle. L’objectif de notre colloque est de faire connaître des objets culturels marginalisés qui dialoguent avec et se nourrissent de théories, critiques et pratiques, le plus souvent militantes, afin de contribuer à enrichir un champ d’études indisciplinées (Certeau) en pleine expansion.

  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.
