Nature, environment and ecocritique in literatures and French-speaking cultures
Depuis les années 1990, on observe un intérêt croissant pour les questions d’ordre écologique suscitées par les conséquences directes du réchauffement global et la destruction des moyens de subsistance de millions d’individus. Alors que les travaux scientifiques sur les relations entre l’individu et l’environnement se sont tout d’abord concentrés sur la région anglophone et ont émergé – sous le nom « Ecocritism » – comme un nouveau domaine de recherches interdisciplinaire des études littéraires aux États-Unis, les approches théoriques de ce champ en plein essor sont de plus en plus discutées en Europe. À ce sujet, il est étonnant de constater que les approches écocritiques n’ont jusqu’à présent guère été reçues dans la romanistique germanophone. Partant de ce désidératum, la section se propose de faire le point sur les discours écocritiques et écopoétiques actuels, d’explorer les relations historiques entre nature, environnement et individu, et de discuter le potentiel des approches écocritiques dans les littératures francophones anciennes et contemporaines.

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders
2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

International Comparative Literature Association XXIst Congress - session 17327
In The Politics of Friendship Derrida reflects on the question of the indecidable possibility, the “peut-être,” of love, of friendship, and of desire: “‘Je t'aime entends- tu?’; cette déclaration d'aimance hyperbolique ne pourrait donner sa chance à une politique de l'amitié que soumise à l'épreuve du peut-être, de l'indécidable” How then can we express a refusal, a no, without listening, without hearing? How can one express the divergent and differential possibilities opened by this phrase? And yet Derrida already has, in Envois, where he explores, theorizes and dramatizes a love affair, tracing the course of its refusal in the various postcards and letters which remain unsent, forever awaiting their destination. This panel concerns theory speaking in terms of love, seeking to establish the relationship between “ l’âmour” and theory.
