5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium
This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

The representations of ethnoracial minorities in the French audiovisual world
From TV stations to digital platforms
Cette journée d'étude propose d’étudier comment les modes de représentation des minorités ethnoraciales (Safi, 2013 ; Cervulle, 2013) ont évolué en France au sein d’une offre de contenus audiovisuels alimentée de façon croissante par des médias issus du web, souvent étrangers, et échappant donc à toute régulation ou politique volontariste hexagonale en la matière. Elle s'appuie sur un double cadrage interdisciplinaire : un premier d'ordre socio-économique et un second d'ordre socio-technique.

Artistic, Digital, and Political Creation in English-Speaking African Countries
Africa 2020
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. Even if this cultural focus cannot be abstracted from a broader geopolitical agenda marred by controversial presidential declarations, it nevertheless has the potential to offer a somewhat different coverage of the continent. One can only hope that it avoids the temptation to officially “curate into being” “exceptional” artists (Dovey), tapping into the all-too-familiar image of Africa as “the supreme receptacle of the West’s obsession with, and circular discourse about, the facts of ‘absence,’ ‘lack,’ and ‘non-being,’ of identity and difference” (Mbembe).

Africa 2020: Artistic, digital, and political creation in english-speaking African countries
French President Emmanuel Macron announced on 3rd July 2018 in Lagos that a Special Season would be organized in France, from June to December 2020, to mark a renewed partnership with Africa, a “varied, strong and diverse continent that will play a part in our shared future”. The peer-reviewed journal of Aix-Marseille Université research centre on Anglophone Studies (LERMA), E-rea, has decided to seize the opportunity of Africa 2020 to dedicate a special issue to contemporary artistic, digital, and political creation in English-speaking African countries. Heeding Kenyan political analyst Nanjala Nyabola’s advice to eschew the too reductive ‘Africa rising’ and ‘Africa failing’ narratives in favour of ‘Africa being’ stories, this special issue wishes to focus on “stories reflecting the ambivalence, complexity, challenges and opportunities of African societ[ies] in an increasingly connected world”.

New technology-based metamorphosis in Japan
In Japan, the kyara-ka phenomenon, ‘transforming into a character’ (Aihara Hiroyuki, 2007) is now giving birth to what Nozawa Shunsuke (2013) calls ‘an emerging art of self–fashioning.’ Based on elaborate disguise techniques, the kyara-ka phenomenon covers a variety of communication strategies and practices: cosplay, kigurumi, Vtubing, utaloid voice banks, use of voice-image filters to upload videos where humans look like characters… Exploring all the aspects of this ‘thingification of humans’, the conference will reflect on how and why a growing number of people market themselves as characters. The conference goal is to address the complexity of issues raised by these voluntary and, perhaps, ironical acts of obliteration. What is the profile of men and women who transform themselves into computer-graphic creatures? How do they deal with being loved only through their digital alter-ego? What little or grand narratives are being produced alongside? Can we still deal with the phenomenon in terms of authenticity (original) versus artificiality (copy)? What negotiations or refusals underly the use of characters as social masks?

Conference, symposium - Modern
Cultural encounters in the nineteenth century
The exhibition The Dutch in Paris, which was on show in the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam and in the Petit Palais, Paris during the fall of 2017 and spring of 2018 respectively, aimed to visualize the artistic exchange between Dutch and French artists between 1789 and 1914. As part of a larger research project, set up by the RKD – Netherlands Institute for Art History, the exhibition generated so much response that ESNA, in collaboration with the RKD and NWO, decided to organize an international conference on the subject, focusing specifically on international as well as national and local points of encounter and how they facilitated artistic exchange.

The status of French-speaking journals around the world (1880-1980)
Cette journée d’études est organisée dans le cadre du projet PERFROM (PERiodiques FRancophones Outre-Mer - XIXe-XXIesiècles) et vise à étudier plus particulièrement le statut des périodiques francophones publiés entre 1880 et 1980 dans le monde (hors territoire métropolitain français). Désormais loin d’être considérés comme de simples vecteurs d’actualité ou de divertissement, ces périodiques peuvent être envisagés comme un outil d’analyse pour comprendre les enjeux culturels, littéraires, sociaux ou politiques d’un pays : on cherchera à définir plus précisément leur place, dans les études littéraires en général, mais surtout dans la culture littéraire d’un pays - et dans ses rapports avec la métropole lorsqu’il s’agit d’une colonie.

Avec le mot affectio, nous mobilisons un ensemble de notions toujours pas stabilisé du fait de leur richesse sémantique et épaisseur théorique (sensation, perception, sentiment, émotion, passion, stimmung, empathie, affect), qui sont engagées dans la relation entre l’homme et le robot. Les séances seront organisées autour (1) de la problématique de la communication corporelle/affective/émotive du sentir, (2) des modifications de la relation intersubjective, (3) du sentiment qui élabore des imaginaires (individuels et sociaux), (4) de la structure de signification politique, culturelle et identitaire, qui organise la réalité sociale (5) de l’éthique robotique.

The Fate of Post-Mortem Personal Data
Profiles compiled from scattered digital footprints left by the user on the Internet shape the outline of digital identities. While the Internet user is alive, he remains in charge of managing these identities, with the help of digital privacy law. Yet as civil rights befall the living, these data protection rights, as such, fall as his death occurs. This international workshop, organised in the frame of the ENEID research project on post-mortem digital identities, will bring together scholars from the field of Information and Communication sciences and from Legal studies, as well as experts working as Data Protection Officers or working for Data Protection Authorities, in order to take a closer look at the fate of personal data after death.
