  Literature, Public Space(s) and Democracy

  The important roles played by literature and by autonomous frameworks of discussion in the formation of a democratic public space, in Europe at the time of the Enlightenment, are well known. How can we, in a now globalized world, rethink the question of possible links between literature and democracy – whether we define the latter as a form of society (the exchange of words and discourses), a problem, or a moment in time? How can we define the place of literature in the public space as it is now configured?

  Marseilles: Its History and Cultural Heritage

  One-Day International Bilingual Symposium

  Ce colloque pluridisciplinaire a pour but de marquer le statut de Marseille comme capitale européenne de la culture en 2013 en réunissant des chercheurs qui s’intéressent à l’histoire de la ville phocéenne (jumelée avec Glasgow depuis 2006) ainsi qu’à sa contribution à la culture de l’Europe au fil du temps. Les intervenants spécialistes de l'histoire sociale, de la sociologie urbaine, du cinéma et de la littérature traiteront des arts plastiques, scéniques, audiovisuels et culinaires à Marseille, de la vie littéraire, musicale et sportive de la ville, ou de l’évolution du port ainsi que de son patrimoine architectural. Les communications vont analyser les ressemblances entre les villes de Marseille et de Glasgow ainsi que les différences qui les distinguent du point de vue historique, culturel et socioéconomique.

  Ambiances & Atmospheres in Translation

  Many authors, from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards, have struggled to implement a sensitive approach to urban modernity. How to be attentive to changes in the urban world and the minute variations of the ordinary? From the aesthetic thought of Simmel to Goffman’s ecological approach, the philosophies of everydayness in anthropology, from Laplantine to Kracauer and White, to Wittgenstein, Bégout, and Rancière, work has described, translated and called into question the role of ambiance and atmosphere in the construction of urban life. Coalescing around notions of ambiance or atmosphere, notable research trajectories have interlaced disciplinary concerns within urban studies, cultural geography, sociology and architecture, especially in relation to interconnected concepts such as affect, place, aura, and ecology. Rarely, however, have these trajectories actually met or collided.

  Ambiance and Atmosphere in Translation

  After "Ambience and Urban Practices", and "Ambience and Criticism", this third meeting of the Agence Nationale de la Recherche funded project "Enigmas of contemporary urban mobility”, organized within the framework of the International Ambiances Network, will develop a conversation between ambiance, atmosphere and translation. But how to translate? If translation is understood as a practice of "linguistic hospitality", as an experience of transition and mediation, what form might translation take? How might, in other words, the transition occur between the "daily" word and the word of the "expert", between that of the "living" and that of the "foreign"? How to make shareable experiences beyond the singularity expressed in different languages and cultures? What media or combination of media could help us achieve this?
