Make our own Walter Benjamin's “Experience and Poverty” ?
We are not in 1933, nor are we threatened, here in Europe, as Walter Benjamin was when, between two apocalypses and already in exile, in an indifference due to historical circumstances, he published his short and incisive text « Experience and Poverty » in a Prague’s newspaper with short-lived existence. However, isn’t the assessment he made of an alliance, by the great creators, between « a total disenchantment about the age » and, nevertheless, « an unlimited commitment to it » also ours ? Not still ours (the Shoah and other catastrophes have shaken up, since then, the order of the thinkable), but again ours, as if we were at the point where, undertaking our poverty today or, disarming voluntarily, would be the lifeline, the way out to escape the inertia promised by a dark future.

Envisioning Latin America: Power and Representation in audiovisual (re)productions
This issue seeks to critically address power structures in audiovisual (re)productions in and from Latin America and discuss how these play a role in the societal construction and representation of individual and collective identities, the ‘us’ and the ‘other’. By doing so, it aims at understanding how these representations – and broader discourses associated therewith – can be critically examined through media productions (cinema, television, radio, photography etc.) and their use as historical sources.

Open Cultural Studies Journal (De Gruyter)
Open Cultural Studies, an OA peer-reviewed Journal (De Gruyter) invites submissions to a special issue on Capitalist Aesthetics edited by Dr Pansy Duncan & Dr Nicholas Holm (Massey University The issue will explore the aesthetic configurations—from the cute to the comfortable, from the no-brow to the fringe—through which the economic logics of late capitalism come to crystallize today. It invites work that treats the stylistic and formal dimension of cultural objects, and the verdictive and affective dimensions of cultural discourse/experience, as valuable “cryptograms” of contemporary ideological formations and the economic relations they sustain.

Dictatorship and images absent from non-fiction cinema
Ce numéro de la revue Savoirs en Prisme s’intéresse spécifiquement à l’absence d’image d’archive originelle dans les documentaires réalisés au XXIe siècle sur les dictatures ibéro-américaines. Il entend interroger la façon dont le cinéma des deux premières décennies utilise diverses stratégies pour évoquer cette absence, ce vide, dans le cadre d’une production qui est principalement centrée sur la construction d’une mémoire des dictatures et dont la plupart des films inscrivent dans le présent un passé de violences dissimulées puis refoulées par l’État et la société. Le recours à différentes stratégies permet de raconter l’indicible, de prendre de la distance avec le sujet et d’éviter la fascination qu’exerce l’horreur sur les spectateurs.

Revolution, Subversion and Emancipation from the Late Eighteenth Century to the Present Day
Cultural Journals in the World
The colloquium "Cultural Journals in the World": Revolution, Subversion and Emancipation from the Late Eighteenth Century to the Present Day aims to present papers dedicated to this internationally critical space that at one time or another in its history has been connected to the artistic and intellectual European spheres or, conversely, has been marked by a transnational tendency, and to its genealogy. This colloquium is part of the project “Global art and cultural periodicals” dedicated to the cataloguing, the study, and the promotion of the non-European periodicals, from before the colonial empires until today. An open access periodical database created within the frame of this project will be presented at the Colloquium opening.

Marcos do pensamento Ocidental
Le projet a été conçu à partir de quatre européens qui ont fortement influencé la pensée occidentale au cours du XXe siècle. Leurs œuvres sont une référence quand il s’agit de questions impliquant la transdisciplinarité, et, en même temps, d’une perspective non-eurocentrique. Malgré la spécifité de chacun de ces discours, on peut les rassembler autour tant de la problématique du privilège du temps présent que de la production de subjectivité. La répercussion de leurs travaux au Brésil et en Amérique Latine n’a jamais cessé de jeter des lumières sur les enjeux concernant l’ethos de ces pays et ses lectures possibles.

How do we globalize the long eighteenth century?
Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?
Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

About the performativity of emotion in history
En prenant pour point de départ la métaphore du corps, ce colloque veut faire émerger de nouvelles possibilités d’étude de la performativité historique des émotions, comprises comme des agents donnant du sens aux corps, que ceux-ci soient physiques, sociaux, politiques, artistiques ou littéraires. Ainsi, l’expression « corps émotionnel » peut être considérée comme une catégorie analytique permettant de comprendre comment différentes conceptions historiques des émotions, ainsi que les pratiques et les objets qui leur sont associés, ont produit des systèmes de relations physiques et symboliques qui peuvent être compris comme des corps, dans une optique multidisciplinaire.

1914 : War and the Avant-Gardes
This interdisciplinary conference aims to interrogate the complex relations between the visual arts, in their largest sense, and history, at a moment where the European crisis of conscience crystallized into catastrophe. Restricting itself to strict temporal parameters – between 1st January and 31st December 1914 – it will explore the intellectual and practical circumstances of visual creation during the first six “ordinary” months of the year, whilst also seeking to understand as precisely as the possible the nature of the realizations provoked by the start of the war as well as by its first engagements. Works and objects, the orientation of taste and of the market, critical and theoretical discourse will be explored in order to dissect that which was shattered in western representation between January and December 1914. -
