    Inaudibility and resistances

    "Finding a voice" junior laboratory study day

    Le point départ de notre réflexion est le constat selon lequel certains sujets n’ont pas accès à la parole dans l’espace public. Cette exclusion de la sphère de la parole concerne une pluralité de sujets, et ne saurait être limitée au groupe de ceux et celles qui n’ont pas voix au chapitre car ne peuvent pas voter (citoyen-ne-s mineur-e-s, étranger-ère-s ou privé-e-s de droits civiques). On peut songer à l’ensemble des groupes marginalisés dans la société (sans-abris, prisonnier-ère-s, malades, migrant-e-s, minorités sexuelles…), mais aussi plus généralement à l’ensemble des groupes dominés, que cette domination se fasse au nom de critères de sexe, de genre, de race ou de classe. L’hypothèse générale qui sous-tend notre réflexion est celle selon laquelle exclusion sociale et impossibilité à parler sont corrélées : l’effacement de la voix des sujets sociaux vulnérabilisés est solidaire ou même cause de leur exclusion, de sorte que l’on peut parler d’une « vulnérabilité linguistique ».

    (Un)Ethical Futures: Utopia, Dystopia and Science Fiction

    Combined call for paper "Colloquy" Special Issue and Book

    We are interested in submissions that explore the ethical dimensions of utopia, dystopia and science fiction (sf). This focus on ethics allows for a range of topics, including environmental ethics and climate change, human bioethics, animal ethics, the ethical use of technology, ethics of alterity and otherness, as well as related issues of social justice. We welcome submissions that bring these ethical considerations into dialogue with speculative fiction across different genres and modes, from sf about the near or distant future, to alternative histories about better or worse presents, to stories about utopian or dystopian societies.

    Conference, symposium - Representation

    Emotional Bodies

    A Workshop on the historical Performativity of Emotions

    The idea that the body is the site in which emotions are expressed is an old one in Western Culture. However, shall we alternatively consider emotions as historical agents that have given meaning to systems of symbolic relations which we understand here as “bodies”? This three-day workshop seeks to explore the conception of emotions as cultural practices that do things and have the power of creating emotional bodies throughout history. With this aim in mind, we will examine the production of physical, social, political, artistic and literary bodies in connection with the changing meaning of social norms, cultural codes and institutions, and especially as the result of the work of emotions.
