  Global '68

  1968 fut une année de luttes, d’insurrections, d’offensives et de manifestations contre le capitalisme et l’impérialisme dont la guerre du Viêt Nam fut l’épicentre. La démocratie, l’égalité et l’émancipation y gagnèrent mais ces luttes rencontrèrent aussi une répression brutale et meurtrière. Des récits révisionnistes ont cherché à effacer la violence policière et la mort de combattants, à estomper le rôle des ouvriers, des femmes, des étudiants et des peuples autochtones, et à éliminer l’importance de l’anti-Américanisme comme de l’anti-impérialisme et de l’anticapitalisme, ainsi que les profondes influences qu’eurent ces mouvements sur les guerres de libération en Algérie, en Amérique Latine et au Viêt Nam.

  Women’s spring: feminism, nationalism and civil disobedience

  The aim of this conference is to explore the ways in which female activists and artists responded the resurgence of the far-right nationalism and the twin evil of religious fundamentalism. We want to take a closer look at grassroots emancipatory movements, women-led voluntary associations, as well as cultural texts by women – performances, installations, artworks, films and novels – in which authors take a stance against religious bigotry, xenophobia, homophobia, racism and misogyny. But we also invite contributions that focus on women’s endorsement of and participation in ultra-conservative national and orthodox religious campaigns.

  Marseille : son histoire et son patrimoine culturel

  Journée d’étude internationale et bilingue

  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.

  “Ri yo avan yo riw”: Rebellion and Compliance of Womanhood in African-Diasporic Milieu

  As defined by Hirsh, postmemory: “describes the relationship of the second generation of powerful, often traumatic experiences that preceded their births but that were nevertheless transmitted to them so deeply as to seems to constitute memories in their own rights” (2008). Applied to the African Diaspora, one may suggest that slavery and colonialism constitute a postmemory directly determining the approach to self of all members of the African Diaspora. This postmemory is so ingrained in these societies that the post-conflict backlash generally affecting women from former colonised or occupied countries, has hit African-Diasporic women in an extremely unusual way. In fact, it has been witnessed in several middle Eastern or South American societies that after liberationist conflicts, some societies would create a fantasised notion of womanhood allegedly pre-colonial, rejecting the former dominant culture to glorify their own root culture (Al Ali, Pratt 2007; Pankhurst 2007). In African-Diasporic milieu and in the same post conflict context, women were fed with dreams of European respectability of which the European middle class woman was archetypal. This rather complex situation generated great uneasiness as far as identity and womanhood were concerned. Beyond the debate around Négritude, Créolité and even Modernity, black women are yet to fit the general notion of “whut a [black] woman oughta be and to do”.Indeed, One can wonder at the ability of the new generation to fulfil the dream of respectability of its mothers (Burton, 1997) while complying with the demands of an increasingly neo-liberal environment. Coupled with the Festival Image of Black Women, this conference will be the opportunity to discuss the discrepancy between the image, the representation and the realities of African-Diasporic women. The aim is to identify the postmemories responsible for the social expectations of womanhood in a given community and how these expectations protect or injure the same women.
