Puppets on screen

In this symposium project, puppets are considered through their tangible links with a manipulator who could be visible, hidden by a classical stage device (curtain, base...) or acting off-camera, “between the frames” (stop motion). It excludes, at first glance, the 3D modeled figurines, even if they often are mentioned as “puppets”. These creatures, made of foam, wood, paper, and who can be realistic or abstract, are considered through a media existence (television, cinema, web) which has enriched the subgenres of post-war fiction, deals with subjects that could not be filmed in real capture, or offers the opportunity to experiment a great variety of tones and points of view in video practice, without geographical or temporal restrictions. Thus, the symposium will provide the opportunity to explore fields on the margins of research as well as to present the current knowledge on the topic, eventually opening new perspectives in the studies.

Call for papers - Representation

The Renaissance of Origins

Beginnings, Genesis and Creation in the Art of the VXth and XVIth Centuries

This conference seeks to introduce a variety of different approaches and interpretations of the concept of “origins” within the visual arts during the Renaissance. However, to consider the question of origins necessitates establishing a distinction between an original beginning such as the creation of the world, an event which initiated historical time, and the symbolic exercises of re-creation that follow it. These phenomena of echo or aemulatio are defined by their manifest desire to capture the primal energy of the original beginning. Such re-creations attempt to reproduce the vitality inherent in the original beginning, and are characterized, above all, by a fundamental desire to reestablish a link to an ideal and initial origin.

Deciphering Ôtsu popular imagery - picture books from Tôkaidô to Miró

Des imagiers du Tôkaidô à Miró

Les images d’Ōtsu – peintures populaires produites du XVII^e au XIX^e siècle dans des villages sur la route du Tōkaidō, entre Kyōto et Ōtsu au bord du lac Biwa – sont les grandes oubliées de l’histoire de l’art japonais et de la recherche académique. Elles représentent pourtant une forme unique d’expression graphique, à caractère religieux, moral ou satirique, qui occupa une place importante à l’époque d’Edo.

Conference, symposium - History

Literature, art and the contemporary world

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.
