  Tilting

  Urgent issue of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

  This special issue, Tilting, seeks to take up themes that have animated the Blackwood’s program and mandate throughout the last several years: questions of connectivity, the challenges of public and private space, community and/in isolation; imperatives to re-structure modes and methodologies of care, including revaluing care work, confronting collective care responsibilities within colonial and capitalist structures, and engaging with the infrastructures, aesthetics, contestations, and radical possibilities of mutual aid; responses to the precarization of art, labour, and life; interest in what modes of knowledge production, circulation, and re-distribution are vital to us now, and how these networks might take new form. These urgencies continue to drive Blackwood programming (and this forthcoming publication), supporting and activating artists, curators, and writers who incite us to be responsive, critical, and answerable.

  LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms

  In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

  On the Road - fictional journeys

  La fiction a souvent recours, pour qualifier son rapport au monde, à l’image du chemin : road movie, roman picaresque, ou encore jeu vidéo d’exploration font du sentier, bien plus encore qu’un thème ou une métaphore, la structure organisatrice par laquelle la fiction prend forme dans le geste d’arpenter, d’avancer, de cheminer. Nous avons, quant à nous, voulu prendre les chemins de traverse, ceux qui dessinent des géographies alternatives et explorent des espaces ignorés, marginaux ou marginalisés. Ainsi, le chemin de traverse peut aussi devenir le paradigme d’une pratique de recherche.
