XIIIe rencontre internationale du Groupe d’étude et de recherche en espagnol de spécialité
À la lumière des réflexions menées lors des rencontres précédentes et dans l’esprit de continuer à promouvoir les études sur l’espagnol comme langue de communication de spécialité, ses particularités et son enseignement, le Groupe d’étude et de recherche en espagnol de spécialité (GERES) organise, avec l’appui de la Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina, sa XVIIIe rencontre internationale dans la ville de Buenos Aires. Nous réfléchirons sur les aspects de la variation linguistique dans l’Amérique hispanique en espagnol de spécialité (ESP) et sur l’élaboration de matériels didactiques.

¡La Nueva Canción da la vuelta al mundo! Conexiones, transferencias y apropiaciones
A mediados de la década de 1960, surgió y se extendió a lo largo de toda América Latina un movimiento que —bajo los rótulos compartidos de nueva canción, canto nuevo, nueva trova, nuevo cancionero, canto popular y canción de autor, entre otros — tuvo como objetivo reinventar la canción popular de raíz folclórica. Bajo el contexto de la Guerra fría, numerosos músicos provenientes de diferentes dominios del arte y de áreas culturales heterogéneas se nutrieron de la discusión acerca del antiimperialismo, el internacionalismo, el indigenismo, el socialismo, la recuperación de tradiciones populares, y la difusión de un arte pedagógico. Al incorporar estas reflexiones en la propia práctica del folclor, los músicos transformaron la nueva canción en una respuesta artística a los problemas globales.

Religion and gender in Latin America
Theoretical and methodological perspectives for research
This dossier invites researchers to submit papers discussing the theoretical and methodological challenges and limits facing new research questions in order to address the interfaces between religion and gender in Latin American countries in light of changes in the social and religious field in recent decades. We welcome works produced from different areas of knowledge in the social and human sciences, as well as areas and studies at the intersection of these issues. We set out to encourage reflection on the ethical challenges faced by researchers regarding the new theoretical and methodological models used in our region and beyond.

1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)
The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

Bioethics and climate change - 7th Franco-Latin American forum of bioethics
VII forum franco-latino américain de bioéthique
Comme les précédentes conférences, ce VIIe forum franco latino-américain de bioéthique vise à promouvoir une approche comparative intégrée des questions en discussion, adoptant la méthodologie des sciences sociales pour donner une analyse critique du sujet. Il s'agit aussi de créer une opportunité pour les chercheurs de présenter un état de leurs travaux et de renforcer le réseau de coopération académique. Étant ouvert aux pays d'Amérique latine et des Caraïbes, d'un côté, et à ceux d'Europe, d'un autre côté, le forum mettra particulièrement l'accent sur les transformations sociales et les mécanismes mis en place tant au niveau régional qu'universel pour traiter des questions liées au changement climatique et à la bioéthique.

New approaches to the history of soft power in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries
The study of soft power in the modern period is unequal, with much attention understandably paid to the Cold War when culture offered a surrogate for damaged and blocked political dialogues. But practices that aimed at promoting a nation abroad were not invented after the Second World War, nor were they inexistent before then. Some historians have traced their origins back to the nineteenth century with the formation of nation states (in Europe) and the growth of ministries of foreign affairs. In addition, the historiography has largely omitted soft power policies produced by and targeting so called “periphery countries”. Therefore, much remains to be written if we are to fully appreciate the history of soft power and its associated key concepts (public and cultural diplomacy, propaganda, publicity, promotion, oeuvres -in the French context, public relations) and the multiplicity of meanings with which these ideas and practices were endowed globally throughout the modern period.

Quantum Social Theory: The Future of Sociology?
In sociology, without explicit basis on quantum theory, numerous streams established strong similarities with it, setting at the forefront of their paradigm: the subjectivity of the observer, the continuous adjustment between the object and the observer, the impossibility to be fully deterministic or discussions about an objective reality. In this session, we invite panellists to discuss the links that can be drawn between quantum theory and sociology. We welcome both empirical (qualitative or quantitative) as well as theoretical papers. Depending on the variety and the quality of the papers, a publication will be considered to set the basis of this emerging theoretical stream.

Estudos feministas e de gênero em jornalismo: história, metodologia e epistemologia
Revista Âncora - Revista Latino-americana de Jornalismo (UFPB)
A Revista Âncora - Revista Latino-americana de Jornalismo - lança seu novo dossiê temático que tem como título «Estudos feministas e de gênero em jornalismo: história, metodologia e epistemologia». A trajetória da relação ambígua e potente entre o feminismo e a academia é longa. Dos chamados estudos de mulheres, até a década de 1970, ao campo dos estudos de gêneros, que se intensificaram a partir da década de 1980, a atuação de feministas dentro das universidades provocou tensionamentos em alicerces importantes do que tradicionalmente se entendia por conhecimento válido, assim como o perfil e atributos esperados para caracterizar o então sujeito produtor do saber científico.

The cultural heritage of ports
Dans une perspective internationale et avec des approches méthodologiques différentes, ce quatrième colloque international sur le patrimoine culturel portuaire vise à approfondir les expériences de préservation des paysages portuaires. Le champ de présentation des recherches porte également sur le devenir des relations entre le port et la ville, d'un point de vue interdisciplinaire et inter-institutionnel. Le choix du musée Benito Quinquela Martín à Buenos Aires comme lieu de rencontre revêt une importance particulière en raison de la place de La Boca, premier port de l'histoire argentine.

X D. João VI Museum Seminar
The ways in which we understand this figure in the history of art are the result of the visual and textual discourses built upon it. Its representations are present in portraits and self-portraits, sculptures, paintings, engravings and objects. It is also built through artistic criticism, the press, caricature, pieces of literature, biographies, or autobiographies. From texts of self-promotion to cinematographic works, we are interested in all forms of representation of the artist's figure, both visual and textual. Our temporal range is ample, reflections on the artist in diverse historical places and periods, including contemporaneity, are emphasized in the Brazilian and Latin American context, without ignoring comparative perspectives. Our starting point is the following question: In what ways have the transformations of perception about artists and their meanings (social, cultural, symbolic and political) marked the writings of art history?

Art Collections in Portugal and Brazil in the 19th and 20th centuries
What are the representations of the artist's figure and how have they transformed over time? Intellectuals or artisans, martyrs or demons, naive or revolutionary, madmen or philosophers? Possibly, artists have been and still are characters in which several layers of interpretation coexist and blend. In this X edition of the D. João VI Museum Seminar, we present the theme "artist’s represetations", in parallel to the exhibition organized by Pinacoteca do Estado de São Paulo and the Brazilian Museum of Fine Arts, with the objective of investigating the historical constructions of the artist's image, bringing the reflection to the Brazilian and Latin American context, past and present. This has been extensively explored in French and English literature and acquires special relevance in this specific geographic universe, marked by the social distinctions concerning manual labor and the late formation of the art medium in the modern sense, after the formation of the academies and an artistic promotion system through exhibitions and the art market.

30 anos de construção da cena brasileira moderna (1948-1978)
Revista Sala Preta número 18 – Volume 2/2018
Gostaríamos de destacar neste número estudos sobre os processos artísticos que se empenharam na construção de uma moderna cena no Brasil com interesse na pesquisa de formas novas de representação da sociedade brasileira. Ainda que a recorte temporal proposto faça menção a dois momentos do teatro em São Paulo, a criação do Teatro Brasileiro de Comédia (TBC), em 1948, e a estreia do espetáculo Macunaíma, em 1978, espera-se poder contar com diversos focos analíticos do tema e perspectivas que atendam à diversidade da ideia de nacional, com exame das experiências de modernização nos estados e desenvolvimentos regionais. Os estudos propostos devem ter como questão o trabalho de encenação em seu sentido conceitual, crítico e prático, o que inclui o conjunto dos elementos de produção do espetáculo, métodos de ensaio, organização do trabalho, relação com atuação, cenografia, iluminação, escrita cênica em tensão com a dramatúrgica etc.

Circulation and decentralisation of arts and literature
2nd symposium of the Guiana Shield
Loin des centres politiques, économiques, intellectuels européens et brésiliens, la région des Guyanes est un espace hétérogène composé de pays et de territoires rassemblant des caractéristiques uniques. L'université Fédérale d'Amapá (UNIFAP), et l’université de la Guyane française (UG), parce qu'elles sont présentes dans cette localité, sont capables de rassembler les recherches produites dans et sur la région. En ce sens, la IIe journée d’études du Plateau des Guyanes : Circulations et décentralisation des arts et de la littérature s'inscrit dans la perspective de la réflexion sur le « décentrement » de la connaissance. Cette posture implique de réfléchir au rôle des théories et des pratiques académiques dans un contexte situé hors du centre, sans pour autant nier la relation centre-périphérie.

The Francophone press in the Americas
La culture et la langue françaises ont joué un rôle important dans le monde, tout particulièrement dans la presse du XIXe siècle, phénomène qui s’étend jusqu’au milieu du XXe siècle et s’est développée grâce à l’expansion des moyens techniques de production et de communication, permettant la circulation des modèles de presse et des sujets traités, ainsi que la constitution d’imaginaires mondialisés. Ce congrès est ainsi consacré à rassembler des chercheurs dédiés à l’étude de la presse périodique francophone dans les Amériques du XIXe et début du XXe siècle, comme journaux, revues et almanachs.

Thinking Latin American Right-Wings in the 20th Century
This conference is the continuation of two previous conferences held in France (2014) and Argentina (2016) which saw the gradual emergence of a community of researchers working on the questions of identities, ideas, practices and discourses of actors and movements from Latin American rightwing. It is difficult to establish the precise conceptual limits of the rightwing because of the heterogeneity and plurality of the groups and movements that have historically been part of this family and which are thus characterized by the presence of diverse political traditions. It is therefore essential to imagine flexible boundaries when considering rightwing history and taking into account the changes it experienced over time. Our purpose is not to establish canonical definitions, but rather to contribute to set general frameworks for this field of study whose historical relevance and actuality are no longer to be demonstrated, but whose limits and fundamental characteristics are still debated.

Ducasse Maldoror Lautréamont / Mayo del 68 / Erotismo Sexualidad
Lorsque le XIXe siècle arrivait à sa première moitié, les rives du Rio de la Plata deviennnent le théâtre d’un jeu sophistiqué mené, entre autres, par les populations criollas installées dans le bassin platense, les immigrés récemment arrivés d’horizons divers, les États européens monarchiques, les forces libérales et bonapartistes qui s’y opposent, l’Église, les cercles éclairés anticléricaux, les États américains qui viennent d'être créés. C’est dans cet espace fait de rencontres, de conflits et de mélanges de langues et d’idéaux qu’est né à Montevideo Isidore Ducasse, comte de Lautréamont, auteur d’une œuvre, les Chants de Maldoror, qui s’est révélée être la réécriture d’une tradition et la matière d’un avenir, toujours ouverte à des réinterprétations, à des recréations, à des versions et à des traductions.
