  Call for papers - Early modern

  The Presence of Women Editors in the Press Industry (1850-1950)

  This panel is part of the 49^th annual Northeast modern language association (NeMLA) convention which will take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania from the 12^th until the 15^th of April 2018. We wish to examine the active participation of women in the public dialogue through the prism of their periodical publications. By looking into their practices of textual transfer, their editorial strategies and the transnational networks that they established, this panel sheds light on the content, structure, and functions of the periodical press in the long 19^th century. Scholars are encouraged to explore the ways in which women’s journals shaped socio-cultural transitions by conducting comparative research across nations, cultures, and historical periods.

  Study days - Epistemology and methodology

  Knowledge and poetics. Epistemologies of vestimentary facts

  « Savoir et Poétique. Épistémologies du fait vestimentaire » est une réflexion sociologique et pluridisciplinaire qui a pour objectif de proposer des pistes d’interprétation sur la mutation de la pensée symbolique contemporaine associée à la fonction sémiotique du vêtement dans la fabrique de l’individu et de l’identité collective. S’il est indéniable que la création vestimentaire s’inscrit dans le processus d’hominisation de l’espèce humaine et de l’invention du phénomène rituel, elle n’a cependant pas fait l’objet d’une attention suffisante dans la constitution d’une science du costume et encore moins, celui d’un intérêt porté au statut épistémique de l’objet textile dans la dynamique des logiques d’identification et de différenciation des sociétés modernes.
