What do we see, what do we hear in Ken Loach's Kes (1969)?
The conference on Kes is, to begin with, an opportunity to look at and listen to what is registered in this remarkable film by Ken Loach, made fifty years ago. To the question “What do we see, what do we hear in Kes?”, the answers should not be anachronistic. The intention is to take in, from a variety of angles and approaches, what is shown and made audible here: a community of women, men, children, their lives woven into, both propped up and confined by, the institutional nexus of component places, home, workplace, school, public house, and component times, early morning, Friday night. What animates Ken Loach’s picture of a mining community are the tensions evident in the sights and sounds through which the modest story of Billy Casper is conveyed, a story affording access to the lives of people as they play out, in occasional and sometimes irreversible conflict with other lives.

Importance of Minority Issues and Construction of Identity in the UK
Socio-Political Discourses in Art as a Tool and Framework for Institutions
Les présentations des participants inviteront à réfléchir à l’intersection entre l’intégration des minorités au sein de la société britannique sous le prisme de l’art, qu’ils soient populaires ou impulsés par les pouvoirs publics et à nous interroger sur l’analyse filmique des minorités en compagnie de spécialistes tels que Rosalind Galt et Karl Schoonover. Nous nous efforcerons de comprendre dans quelle mesure la culture et les arts peuvent servir un processus social d’intégration et d’inclusion des minorités, ou au contraire essentialisent les différences de l’autre. Les propositions pourront éventuellement s’intéresser aux dimensions culturelles, socio-économiques et politiques de cette intersection complexe.

How can one assess the adhesion of individuals and social groups to the multi-ethnic and multicultural British nation of our times? Where should their identity be inscribed on the canvas of composite identities, some of which might either be regarded as tokens of tolerance and inclusion, or be considered (by others) as potential threats for the cohesion of the nation? To penetrate the deepest strata of British identity, we propose to combine the methods of research in civilization with a multi-disciplinary approach...

Transnational Networks and the British Empire (Ca. 18-20th centuries)
This workshop intends to bring together research scholars of history and affiliated fields working on transnational networks fostered through the British Empire. We wish to focus on how certain forms of the “empire”, the “colony”, and the “outside” mutually constituted each other. Such an approach, we believe, could illumine the dense transnational convergences that shape the political, the economic, the social, and the cultural in various locations simultaneously.

Literature, arts and societies in the British Isles, 19th, 20th, 21st centuries
Ce colloque prolonge les travaux de deux séminaires communs aux laboratoires « Cultures anglo-saxonnes » (CAS, université Toulouse 2 Jean Jaurès) et Études montpelliéraines du monde anglophone (EMMA, université Paul-Valéry Montpellier 3), portant respectivement sur la littérature et les arts, et sur la civilisation britannique. Son objectif sera de balayer le champ thématique ouvert par l’articulation des notions de singularité et de solidarité, de mobiliser les outils critique et théoriques nécessaires pour l’explorer, et d’affiner notre compréhension de la littérature, des arts et des sociétés des îles britanniques aux XIX-XX-XXIe siècles.

Women in the public space, 1800-1939
Great Britain, Ireland, Empire and Commonwealth
“The Angel in the House” is the image most commonly retained of British women in the nineteenth century. This reductive and repressive ideal, emerging from values propagated by the literary, religious, medical political discourses of the time, still persists today in the collective unconscious. Although this model has increasingly been questioned by researchers in the humanities, the focus has tended to be on the beginning of the 20th century. This one-day conference aims to pursue this still neglected area, bringing the Victorian and Edwardian woman further out of her “cloister” or “sphere”, and exploring the destinies of those women who occupied the public space in Great Britain, Ireland and, by extension, the Empire: activists, explorers, artists, writers and sportswomen to name but a few.

This 2016 workshop on contemporary US-UK photography will take on the notion of censorship. With photography as its starting point, this edition aims to extend the debate to include the contemporary image on the whole. It is interested in the intermedial forays of other artistic forms in the practice of photographers (art installations, video and/or audio productions, performance, urban art practices, text/image interactions). How does the very artistic form/medium become in itself a means of expression and commitment when confronted with censorship, a means to create unity against censorship, a tool for identity expression of a group or of a minority, to circumvent constraints, or thrive upon these limits and generate creative impetus from them?

Modern and contemporary representations of Northern Europe in medieval times
Année 1 : historiographies
Le séminaire (organisé par l'école doctorale sciences humaines et sociales Lille Nord de France) explorera la place de l’Europe du Nord médiévale dans les identités européennes. Programmé pour un cycle de trois années (2015-2017), ce séminaire interrogera la manière dont les Europes du Nord de la longue époque médiévale (de la fin de l’Empire romain à la Renaissance) apparaissent dans les représentations, savantes autant que populaires, des époques moderne (dès la Renaissance) et contemporaine (jusqu’aux productions culturelles les plus récentes). La première année, intitulée « Historiographies », se penchera sur l’étude savante de la période, en particulier sur l’étude du haut Moyen Âge comme « Âge héroïque ».

Representations of Power and Power of the Image in British and American Contemporary Photography
Représentations du pouvoir et pouvoir de l’image dans la photographie contemporaine américaine et britannique
From the power of images to images of power, this workshop will explore the representations of power and the power of representation in contemporary American and British photography. What is photography capable of doing? Whether in the form of a public person, the environment of power (emblematic places and explicit or underlying forms) or its symbolism, what is photography capable of revealing about power itself? Political, institutional, economic or social power all depend upon a system of relations or tensions between groups or individuals (accepted, rejected, questioned, expressed visually or internalized) participating in the construction of the identity, myths or memories of the American or British nations. In what manner does photography enhance or contribute to this construction or deconstruction of the notion of identity and nation?

The English influence on French musical romanticism
La situation géographique de la France, qui fait d’elle le carrefour de l’Europe, la place au cœur des jeux de transferts culturels qui se déroulent au cours des XVIIIe et XIXe siècles et la rende ainsi perméable aux influences diverses venues des pays qui l’entourent. Si celles de l’Italie et du monde germanique sur l’art lyrique ou la musique symphonique des Français sont aujourd’hui indéniables, le rôle joué par l’Angleterre dans le développement musical français reste encore à définir plus précisément. Au cours de colloque, on abordera plusieurs aspects de cette influence anglaise sur le romantisme musical français : le rapport de certains compositeurs à l’Angleterre (de Berlioz à Saint-Saëns) ; celui que le monde musical français entretient avec la littérature et le théâtre anglais ; les modèles d’organisation de la vie musicale (concerts et sociétés musicales) ; et enfin les genres musicaux et la facture instrumentale.

Environment and post-human in Scotland
Representation and memory of land, nature and the living
Ce colloque international étudiera comment l'environnement — la terre et la nature — a été représenté et considéré à travers les âges et comment l'environnement a souvent assumé une place centrale dans l'expression artistique, politique, sociale et culturelle de l'Écosse. Nous examinerons comment ces éléments se situent par rapport à l'être humain, à son passé et son histoire, son existence présente et son devenir : ses dimensions humaines et posthumaines. L'environnement et la nature sont au cœur des préoccupations actuelles et des paradigmes scientifiques : les discours politiques, imprégnés d'écologie et de respect de l'habitat, ont souvent mis en avant un retour à la nature. L'histoire, la civilisation, la politique, l'art, la littérature et le cinéma écossais nous permettront d'explorer ces thèmes. -
