  Mother Figures and Representations of Motherhood in English-speaking Societies

  This conference aims to question the various ways in which motherhood is judged, how political choices are translated into cultural representations of mothers as either icons or scapegoats, and how these representations are received and challenged in a quest for either conformity or agency.

  Defining and defying the concept of deviance and degeneration in the British Isles and North America in the 19th century

  This one-day conference aims at exploring the definition(s) and contours of deviance and degeneration as it was conceived in the British Isles and North America in the 19^th century. PhD students, postgraduate students and junior scholars whose research pertains to the study of deviant groups, whether self-defined or not, are particularly welcome to participate. Speakers will be invited to focus on the processes of definition of the standards of normality – whether religious, social, political, legal, medicalor sexual – as well as what those processes entailed for those who were labelled ‘deviants’. The role of scientists, doctors but also political authorities is of considerable interest in this respect, as are the ways in which normative standards were circumvented and challenged.

  Genre, féminisme et valeur de l'art

  Autour du numéro 43 des Cahiers du Genre

  Alors que les études sur le genre, en France, commencent à susciter un intérêt certain dans quasiment toutes les disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales, l’histoire de l’art peine à s’ouvrir aux questionnements et outils méthodologiques ou conceptuels issus des recherches féministes. Les lieux de recherche où sont abordées les problématiques de genre, la théorie féministe ou même la place des femmes (comme créatrices, mécènes, spectatrices, etc.) en histoire de l’art, en esthétique ou en arts plastiques demeurent rares, bien que la demande exprimée par les étudiant-e-s se fasse croissante.
