Queer activism and aesthetics in African literature

Congress of the Association pour l'étude des littératures africaines (APELA)

Ce congrès propose une exploration des littératures, du cinéma et des arts performatifs africains de toutes les langues et de toutes les régions d’Afrique y compris le Maghreb et les diasporas, au prisme des théories, activismes et esthétiques queer. Il s’agira tout autant d’aborder un corpus encore peu usité dans la recherche francophone, que d’analyser le lien entre esthétique, savoir et activisme dans le contexte des luttes pour la reconnaissance des homo- et transsexuels et d’autres minorités sexuelles et de genre en Afrique.

Rethinking tobacco history: Commodities, empire and agency in global perspective, 1780–1960

Tobacco was one of the most important globally traded commodities from the 17th century through to the present day, and yet it has received relatively little attention in the historiography of modern empires in comparison to other commodities, such as sugar or cotton. As a result, recent approaches to rewriting the history of European imperialism from a more global perspective have hardly been problematized with regard to the peculiarities of tobacco history. Nowadays, studies no longer understand empire as a rigid relationship between metropole and colonies, but take the dynamics of actors within an empire as seriously as the networks and global processes that crossed imperial borders, or indeed lay beyond them. The conference starts from this assumption.

Bullying in the workplace

Franco-German comparison

Quels sont les outils juridiques mobilisés pour lutter contre le harcèlement professionnel ? Comment les juges les mettent-ils en œuvre ? Les différences observables sont-elles le fruit de l'histoire juridique nationale ou la conséquence d'un contexte socio-économique particulier ? Ces questions seront abordés dans un cadre comparatif franco-allemand lors de trois étapes successives. La première consistera à identifier les notions juridiques utilisées et à clarifier le vocabulaire. La seconde portera sur les obligations de l'employeur en matière de harcèlement. La troisième aura trait au mécanisme probatoire spécifique utilisé en matière de harcèlement. Lors de chacune de ces étapes, un binôme franco-allemand effectuera une présentation du thème étudiée, qui sera suivie d'échanges entre les participants.

Thinking about violence in Africa through women’s experiences: vulnerability & subversion

Penser la violence en Afrique au travers de l’expérience des femmes: vulnérabilité et subversion

The two-day conference “Junges Forum 2020” seeks to reflect on women’s experiences of violence in Africa from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is not to discuss passive experience in the context of violence (if it exists at all) but to attempt to outline different experiences of violence (symbolic, social, domestic, epistemic, political or sexual) as well as to explore how they can be transformed, appropriated and reversed. The “Junges Forum” explicitly invites young researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral scholars) to share their ideas from various disciplines (anthropology, film studies, gender studies, history, literary studies, psychology, sociology, etc.) in order to encourage an interdisciplinary exchange and open debates related to the topic. The main focus is to be on African countries and regions only.

France, Germany, Africa: representations, transfers, relations

Appréhendé à l’époque coloniale comme le « laboratoire de la modernité » européenne, le continent africain est aujourd’hui partie intégrante de l’histoire et de l’avenir de l’Europe mais aussi du monde. Dans son essai Afrotopia récemment traduit en allemand, l’économiste et écrivain sénégalais Felwine Sarr dénonce le mythe occidental du développement projeté sur les sociétés africaines et appelle à décoloniser les esprits de par et d’autre de la Méditerranée pour permettre aux Afriques de redevenir le « poumon spirituel du monde. » Ce plaidoyer pour un changement de paradigme s’inscrit dans une relation Europe-Afrique à refonder. Partant de ces réflexions, Le XV^e colloque du comité franco-allemand des historiens entend interroger cette histoire croisée entre la France, l’Allemagne et le continent africain pour les XIX^e et XX^e siècles.

Emotional attachment to machines

New ways of relationship-building in Japan

Currently, technologies that foster emotional connections between humans and digital beings are perceived as a threat by many. Because emotional devices are considered to be make-believe systems based on ‘simulation’ (which is often confused with lying, deceit or fraud), emotional technologies could potentially be suspected of affecting human sexual identity or disrupting social bonds. This Symposium will examine the ways in which humans form intimate relationships with ‘emotionally-intelligent entities’ (robots, digital characters, downloadable boyfriend…) and what purposes these relationships to machines serve for them.

Locating negative affects in post-reform China

This panel takes the prevalence of positivity in post-reform China as an invitation to investigate its opposites: the variety of negative ordinary affects that can be viewed as ensuing from state-induced “situations of restricted agency”. What can we learn from the various forms of negativity that morph out of the socio-political circumstances of post-reform China, and how to tread a fine line between the risk of romanticization and analytical dismissal? Under what conditions do the expression and performance of negative affects constitute “a manifestation of autonomy from state directives” in the context of pervasive “happiness” campaigns? Or is their work ambivalent, if not problematic, especially when they come to be associated with specific marginalized groups?
