Thinking the Latin American right wings
IVth International Congress
The IVth International Congress Thinking the Latin American right wings follows the three previous ones held in France (2014), Argentina (2016) and Brazil (2018), which have permitted the constitution of a community of researchers working on Latin American right-wings. Several specialists from different countries and disciplines have joined in this network, in order to promote projects and studies on this theme, and stimulated the development of new issues related to this political family. The use of various methodologies such as the analysis of political traditions and cultures, representations and imaginaries, identities, networks, sensitivities and memories have made it possible to consolidate a field of study that has become relevant to understand current Latin American political scene.

European and global responses to the concept of “literary engagement” between 1945 and 1968
ACLA 2020 panel
The question of “engagement” (or commitment) became one of the defining elements of post-WWII literature and was, for a long period, at the center of the discussions about the relationship between aesthetics and politics in several European countries. Commonly associated with the name of Jean-Paul Sartre, the success of the notion of “committed literature,” however, went well beyond the French national space. This panel focuses on the transnational circulation of the concept of “committed literature” and, more broadly, on the circulation of related notions, such as writers’ “responsibility,” as well as on any type of counter-discourse or counter-theory targeting “committed literature.” We would like to explore the different degrees of transnational propagation and dissemination of these debates both in regions that absorbed the intellectual debates taking place in France and in the case of countries which remained more impermeable to them.

The forgotten dimension of the 1968 period
The political and cultural mobilisation of national minorities in North America - shared dynamics, shared heritage?
La période allant de la fin des années 1960 au début des années 1980 est marquée par le militantisme intense et le changement culturel rapide. Tant la « nouvelle gauche » étudiante que la « deuxième vague » féministe ébranlent les certitudes des sociétés occidentales. Mais il est un aspect de ce mouvement de fond qui demeure mal compris: les revendications collectives des minorités nationales.

Utopia in a Post-secular Society: at the Cross-sections of Literature and Philosophy
48th Annual Convention, Northeast Modern Language Association (NeMLA)
An element that seems to characterize the 20th century reflection on utopia is its secular nature. Through a re-thinking of the place and roles of religion in society, the post-secular turn we are witnessing in recent theory (Habermas, Taylor, Asad, Mahmood) may provide a critical point of departure for questioning this specific aspect of utopian tradition. In this panel, we invite papers that reflect on the relationship between utopia and religion, as it is worked out in 20th century literature and philosophy: How does the place of the utopian tradition change in the context of the “return of the religion” in a post-secular society?

Two key categories in Dante's work: struttura/poesia and figura
750 ans désormais… mais de qui ou bien de quoi ? Les nombreuses initiatives par lesquelles, en cette année 2015, on célèbre Dante autour du monde constituent un lumineux paradoxe. Nous fêtons aujourd’hui un anniversaire que Dante lui-même, tout en se complaisant de citer la constellation des jumeaux qui lui avait fait don de son « ingegno », n’aurait jamais célébré, car les anniversaires de naissance, à la différence des anniversaires de morts et des saints patrons, sont une pratique culturelle établie au bas Moyen Âge et à l’époque moderne seulement.

Conference, symposium - Representation
Démystifier la figure paradoxale - à la fois omniprésente et méconnue - de l'auteur en la replaçant dans la perspective de l'histoire du livre, qui conçoit le monde des lettres de façon systémique. Théories sur l'identité de l'auteur (Compagnon, Heinich), sur la représentation mythique de l'auteur (Barthes, Foucault) et sur les relations de l'auteur avec les divers agents de la chaîne du livre.
