  Political figures

  Images, representations, portraits, and caricatures in the Rhône region from 1789 to 1939

  La représentation iconographique des grands hommes politiques est un sujet largement balisé aujourd'hui par les historiens et les historiens de l'art, y compris dans le domaine de la caricature. La Société d’histoire moderne et contemporaine de Nîmes et du Gard se propose ici d'explorer ce sujet à l'échelle régionale, celle du Midi rhodanien de 1789 à 1939, à l'occasion du quarantième année de sa fondation. Cinq thèmes seront abordés autour de la représentation de figures politiques du Midi rhodanien : la figure politique mise en images, la figure politique et son contexte, la production des images d'une personnalité politique, leurs usages et leur conservation. Les sujets des communications peuvent être transversaux aux différentes thématiques énoncées ci-dessus, qui n’ont qu’une valeur indicative, et couvrir une trame chronologique plus ou moins étendue à l’intérieur du cadre établi.

  Conflicts of memory: arts, history, commemorations

  This conference will focus not only on historical events which fuel conflicting memories, but also on works of art – including those produced at the margins of institutions – which encourage or undermine the consensual interpretations of the past. Do artworks promoting a reinterpretation of the past help foster a new type of relationship between the present and the past? Do they open onto a different future? Some works spark off debates and suggest that memory is imbued with potentially irreconcilable sentiments. Historical materials and artworks convey this tension, articulating the gap between dominant and dominated memories. Does art help resolve conflicts or does it perpetuate them? Comparing different artists’ original takes on similar historical events may help us better understand the stakes behind conflicting memories.
