Call for papers - Representation

The Body in all its states. Aesthetics of the body in the Arab World

"Regard" Journal

The current issue of Regards will focus on the relations between the arts (cinema, theater, dance, visual arts…) and the body in the Arab societies and, more broadly, in the Mediterranean region. This sensitive subject suffers from prejudgment and prejudice in both audience’s and critics’ minds.

Narratives, history and memory

Parallèlement à l’évolution de la critique littéraire qui revient à considérer aujourd’hui l’objet littéraire à l’intérieur du contexte historique et politique de sa production, l’une des tendances de la littérature postmoderne consiste à mettre en scène des histoires individuelles dans leurs relations avec les événements collectifs. Aussi la production culturelle contemporaine réside assez généralement dans le recours à l’histoire comme d’un topos autour duquel se nouent des enjeux aussi bien esthétiques que mnémoniques et thérapeutiques. Dans les pays arabes où les pratiques culturelles sont liées à des contextes de conflits cette tendance prend tout son sens. Colloque autour des pratiques littéraires et artistiques au Liban et les écritures de l'histoire et de la mémoire qu'elles permettent de mettre en place.

Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach

If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs. Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.
