    An alternative Francophone world - Francophone culture and its global reach

    Culture francophone à portée globale

    Alors qu’il est souvent question dans l’essayisme (Baverez, Compagnon, Jourde, …) – tant français qu’étranger –, d’un déclin accentué de la culture française, ce qui ne veut sûrement pas dire de la culture en français, plusieurs produits, phénomènes et manifestations culturels et symboliques francophones rendent compte d’une surprenante vitalité et créativité, souvent reconnue et relayée sur le plan de la culture globale, qui prélude à un dépassement de la portée exclusivement « hexagonale » du fait culturel en français.

    Work on screen: social memories and identities through cinema

    Since the early 20th century, work in contemporary societies has suffered several processes of change, which, in the context of the current economic and employment crisis, demand equating the structuring of social identities that are built and modified through work. During this period, cinema has been a privileged vehicle for the creation and dissemination of representations on work and, therefore, the shaping of social memories. This international and multidisciplinary seminar aims at gathering and discussing contributions that analyse the social processes involved in the formation of work identities and representations through cinema. It welcomes papers that highlight the main continuities and discontinuities of work memory narratives from the early 20th century to the present days, based on the analysis of specific films or bodies of films (both documentaries and fictions) and their reception.

    Interfaces da lusofonia

    A conferência Interfaces da Lusofonia, inserida no âmbito do projecto Narrativas Identitárias e Memória Social, foi planeada para balizar as noções de lusofonia que têm vindo a ser estudadas a partir de diversas perspectivas, as quais, muitas vezes, se auto-excluem. Tratando-se de um projecto interdisciplinar, interessa pensar a lusofonia a partir da intersecção de disciplinas e áreas de saberes, de forma a promover um debate informado sobre o tema.

    Report from the Pop Line: on the life and afterlife of popular

    At the end of the first decade of the twenty-first century, popular culture finds itself at a crossroads: has the concept been drained of its meaning because of its overwhelming popularity? After the euphoria around the popular, what afterlife can be expected from it? Should we still be discussing the popular as opposed to high and folk culture? And where and how do pop art forms intersect with the current notion of the popular? This conference wishes to address the complexities surrounding the debate around the notions of both pop and the popular and discuss the possibilities of their afterlife.
