  Cultural literacy and cosmopolitan conviviality

  Cultural literacy in Europe: 3rd biennial conference

  This conference will address modes of conviviality that cultures may have resisted, promoted or facilitated down the ages and especially in the present. It will reflect upon the role and effects of cultural literacy in different media, in the shaping of today’s politics and global economy. As a potent tool for spreading ideas and ideologies, cultural literacy helps shape world-views and social attitudes in indelible ways that need further investigation.

  May 68 in the past fifty years - in French-language literature and culture. Appraisal and prospection

  Mai 68 dans la littérature et culture de langue française : bilans et prospections

  Bien plus que ressasser les circonstances historiques de 1968, il importe d’en dégager des bilans et des réinventions prospectives telles qu’elles s’expriment en langue française tant sur le plan culturel que littéraire, et en suivre les réalisations et les enjeux ; ce qui engage une réflexion à portée critique sur les échos multiples, parfois imprévus, de Mai 68 sur le présent et l’avenir.

  Crossing Borders: Intellectuals of the Right and Politics in Europe and Latin America

  Transnational Perspectives

  During the interwar period, authoritarian movements and regimes of the right - both of the "old" authoritarian and of the "new" radical varieties - professed their faith in national values but at the same time saw themselves as national agents of an otherwise international intellectual and political wave. Starting from the mid-1920s, a growing sense of shared goals, commonality of vision, and sense of history-making mission led them to draw on each other for inspiration and support. It soon became clear that these movements and regimes embraced ideas from each other, actively studying each other’s discourses and initiatives in the political field. The conference aims to promote a different understanding of the role of intellectuals of the interwar right who perceived themselves as transnational agents “at the service of an idea”.

  The literature and theory of the French language and the challenge of translation in the Iberian peninsular (18th-21st centuries)

  Ce colloque invite à une réflexion sur la traduction des littératures et du théâtre de langue française, au Portugal et en Espagne, à différentes époques, afin d’en dégager les enjeux et de réfléchir aux problématiques qui en découlent. Les étroits rapports culturels entre les trois pays datent de longtemps et ils ont produit d’importantes répercussions au niveau littéraire et culturel dont il s’avère important de rendre compte.
