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.

Digital Humanities Austria 2017
The digital turn is increasing the interest for data among the humanities. Data will be produced almost automatically regarding to methods like text recognition and text mining. On the one hand, the work with data offers new challenges for humanities scholars according to its quantity (keyword: Big Data) and its quality (the high error rate of produced data). On the other hand, it reveals unknown and exciting insights and analysis. Submissions according to this topic will be given preference.

Around the world in a TextGrid day
Edit, manage, publish and explore your TEI data with TextGrid and DARIAH-DE
The workshop will explore two infrastructures, TextGrid and DARIAH-DE, at work, focusing on modeling a “prototype” digital edition starting with a plain text, finishing with a TEI-based online publication. Workshop participants will explore the diversity of the digital research environment TextGrid as well as tools and services of the research infrastructure DARIAH-DE and its possibilities for digital analysis. An introduction on both infrastructures, illustrated by examples from various user scenarios, will be followed by a hands-on session focusing on editing and modelling TEI data, particularly of digital editions, to their publication and exploration. Following these steps, participants will be able to explore the different tools and services to generate, model and publish XML/TEI data guided by TextGrid and DARIAH staff members in small groups according to their own interests and needs. The aim is to create a small digital edition starting with a facsimile and a transcription, enriching data with extended mark-up such as geospatial encoding, and publishing into both the TextGrid Repository and a SADE instance (web portal). The workshop is organized by the German DARIAH member DARIAH-DE.

Wozu Fachgeschichte und wer soll sie schreiben?
Die Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie und ihr Verhältnis zur eigenen Geschichte und zu den Geschichtswissenschaften
„Die beste Art, eine Wissenschaft mitzuteilen, sei Erzählung ihrer Geschichte“. Diese kluge Empfehlung von Heinrich Du Bois-Reymond, Gründungsmitglied der Berliner Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte, im Jahre 1872 entspricht allerdings nicht mehr der Praxis des wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Arbeitens.

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.

Monarchies from East to West. Monastic traditions and modernity in Europe
Le monachisme chrétien est loin d'être monolithique et se ramifie selon les différentes confessions du christianisme donnant lieu à des types de vie monastiques spécifiques catholiques, orthodoxes et anglicans. De l’Est à l’Ouest de l’Europe, quels sont les déterminants communs et les points de différenciation de ces différentes traditions monastiques ? Quels sont leurs enjeux dans la modernité religieuse, que ce soit dans un contexte de perte de confiance dans les institutions traditionnelles et recul de la pratique, ou renouveau religieux dans les sociétés post-communisme ? Ce colloque sera l’occasion de faire le point sur le monachisme chrétien à l’intérieur de l’ère géographique délimitée mais diversifiée de l’Europe et d’interroger les problématiques actuelles selon les différents contextes sociaux. Les débats engagés lors de cette conférence seront aussi l’occasion d’initier des réflexions comparatives sur ces différentes traditions monastiques.

Commun(icat)ing Bodies, The Body & Religion
Les religions sont des systèmes de communication hautement symboliques dans lesquels le corps occupe une place prépondérante et le plus souvent strictement définie. Qu’il soit idéalisé ou condamné, le corps est un médiateur essentiel des traditions religieuses dont il se fait le témoin visible. Le groupe de recherche « Commun(icat)ing bodies » de l'université de Graz organise une conférence internationale pour explorer le rôle du corps comme média dans la religion et vise à comprendre comment le corps peut transformer les traditions religieuses et comment ces dernières impriment leurs systèmes de croyance sur et dans les corps. Les propositions de sociologie, philosophie et sciences des religions, traitant de la diversité religieuse occidentale ou orientale, sont les bienvenues. -
