    The City, the Media and Gentrification: Actors, Discourses and Representations

    Partant de l’hypothèse que les médias sont des émetteurs de discours et de représentations, ce colloque vise à interroger leur rôle en tant qu’acteur au sein de la sphère publique dans le domaine de la gentrification. Le terme « médias » sera entendu au sens large, tous les médias étant susceptibles d’aborder la question de la gentrification. On pense de façon non limitative aux médias traditionnels (presse écrite, radio, télévision), aux nouveaux médias (les extensions de la presse traditionnelle : presse numérique, podcasts, blogs, etc.) et aux réseaux sociaux (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.). Il s’agira de discuter des articulations disciplinaires possibles (sociologique, architecturale, urbanistique, linguistique, etc.) entre médias et processus de gentrification.

    Intercultural approaches to nuclear identities, dismantling and disarmement

    À l’aube du démantèlement de la plus ancienne centrale nucléaire de France et après le débat national sur les modes de gestion des déchets nucléaires (PNG-MDR) et de la programmation de la politique énergétique (PPE), quels sont les principaux défis ou contraintes auxquels un territoire qui se désengage de l’atome doit faire face ? Il n’existe aujourd’hui que peu de recherche dédiée au devenir d’un territoire qui s’engage dans le démantèlement et encore moins des analyses comparatives entre pays. C'est à cela que tente de combler le présent appel à contribution de la revue VertigO.

    Northern Relations

    Canadian Communication Association (CCA) Annual Conference 2021

    As a theme, “Northern Relations” encourages delegates to explore the connections between peoples, communities, cultures, and ways of knowing, while also listening to those voices that speak directly to some of the most pressing matters of relation (to the land, to each other) in the North: climate change, governance, social justice, reconciliation, reciprocity, education, and much more. A relation is not only an association and an affiliation, it is also an act of telling or reporting; relations are at the heart of how peoples communicate, organize knowledge, and understand their place in the world.

    Intersectional Challenges in Afroeuropean Communities

    8th Biennial Afroeuropeans Network Conference

    The conference aims to consider how Afroeuropean communities are shaped by the intersections of ‘race’ and ethnicity with other markers of identification such as gender, class, sexuality, ability, age, citizenship status, language… Informed by intersectional thinking and its rejection of unidimensional perspectives in activism, policy and research, the conference explores how diverse processes of privileging and discrimination interact, making for complex and dynamic experiences of what it means to be Afroeuropean. It acknowledges that the racial and ethnic alterity of Afroeuropeans intersects with other identities (e.g. male, female, queer, working class, religious, disabled, aged…) and specifically seeks to examine to what extent these intersections create new alignments and opportunities.

    Creating ruins or showing ruins in cinema

    Ce thème nous est suggéré par l’action actuelle, à l’échelle mondiale, de la démolition et de l’abattement des statues, des stèles dans un geste de destruction volontaire des vestiges, symboles et icônes du passé liés à l’histoire coloniale et impériale, acte que l’on peut considérer comme une mise en ruines en tant que telle. Pouvait-on imaginer une liquidation des ruines-vestiges du passé pour signifier la ruine d’un passé ?

    Urgent issue of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

    This special issue, Tilting, seeks to take up themes that have animated the Blackwood’s program and mandate throughout the last several years: questions of connectivity, the challenges of public and private space, community and/in isolation; imperatives to re-structure modes and methodologies of care, including revaluing care work, confronting collective care responsibilities within colonial and capitalist structures, and engaging with the infrastructures, aesthetics, contestations, and radical possibilities of mutual aid; responses to the precarization of art, labour, and life; interest in what modes of knowledge production, circulation, and re-distribution are vital to us now, and how these networks might take new form. These urgencies continue to drive Blackwood programming (and this forthcoming publication), supporting and activating artists, curators, and writers who incite us to be responsive, critical, and answerable.

    LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms

    In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

    Jazz, globalisation and communities

    Jazz, globalisation and communities

    Now a quasi-universal musical form, present in all five continents, jazz developed as a result of a complex process of cultural exchange, making it a true product of cultural globalisation. Typical of the success of the « glocal », as defined by Robertson in 1994, between the « resilience of the local and global consciousness », jazz has generated new communities of amateur and professional musicians around a strong local musical tradition, thanks first to the presence of foreign musicians, and second to the global nature of jazz itself. The aim of this one-day conference will be to explore the local and global dimensions of these jazz communities from the point of the musicians, the audiences and media, in order to understand how jazz, the quintessentially global musical genre, creates not just local and global communities, but also the links between these very communities.

    Conference, symposium - Representation

    The visual forms of the collective

    De la peinture d’histoire du XIXe siècle aux grandes productions cinématographiques contemporaines, les œuvres visuelles ont tendance à traiter des actions, des émotions ou des événements collectifs en les incarnant dans une figure individuelle qui les emblématise. Cette stratégie a prouvé sa très grande efficacité, du point de vue visuel et du point de vue narratif ; cependant, elle a pour conséquence la rareté des formes visuelles du collectif comme tel. Plus difficile à représenter et peut-être aussi plus difficile à lire, le « collectif » est cependant un thème constant des représentations et des narrations visuelles contemporaines : peuples, masses, foules, multitudes, groupes, classes traversent l’histoire du monde contemporain en ne cessant d’y reposer le problème de l’existence d’un sujet collectif, rendant ainsi aigu et passionnant celui de sa figuration.

    The utopia of globalised culture and the reality of local communication practices

    Communication and digital technology in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa

    The imaginary world surrounding digital communication seems to impose a vision that crushes cultural diversity. The Symposium aims to jointly explore the heterogeneity of uses, productions and issues raised by the meeting of globalised technology that is often Western-centred, with various cultures. The first edition will focus on Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, a multicultural territory where contemporary geopolitical contexts pose particularly vital issues for communications research. These issues are of interest mainly to the information and communication sciences community, but the contributions of researchers from various cultural and disciplinary horizons will make it possible to tackle this very broad problem of communication, especially digital, in sensitive areas, according to different complementary approaches.

    The hippy movement in the Hispanic world

    Identities – mobilities – conflicts – heritage

    Si le mouvement hippie naît aux États-Unis dans les années 1960, il n’est pas resté circonscrit à ce seul territoire mais s’est largement diffusé dans d’autres parties du monde parmi lesquelles l’Espagne et l’Amérique hispanique. Outre l’étude des manifestations identitaires hippies dans le monde hispanophone et ses spécificités, il convient d’analyser comment s’est opérée cette transposition d’un mouvement particulier dans d’autres contextes socio-culturels, quels sont les éléments qui ont favorisé cette mobilité ainsi que les échanges et les interactions entre les deux espaces.

    Breaking boundaries: academia, activism and the arts

    The international conference Breaking Boundaries: Academia, Activism and the Arts proposes to bring into focus and critically question common grounds and boundaries between and within the Humanities, political activity and aesthetic production.​At a time when boundaries are simultaneously questioned and reinforced – for example between geographical territories, political states, public and private spheres, gendered bodies, creative media, theory and practice, local and global, human, non-human and post-human – the question of what such frontiers stand for, and how and why they might be transgressed offers itself for and, indeed, urges discussion.

    Dispossession: Agency, ecology and theatrical reality

    TaPRA Theatre, Performance and Philosophy Working Group

    In Ursula Le Guin’s 1974 novel The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia, children are educated to engage only with what interests others; the opposite is considered self-indulgence, condemned as “egoizing”. The disowning of any idea of the self is considered a virtue, as is the ability to speak the language of others. Le Guin’s novel fictionalises a common narrative in processes of 20th and early 21st century art: the withdrawal of the self. In relation to concurrent processes that reclaim agency for those who are already dispossessed, that call for the legitimisation of systematically marginalised voices, is the withdrawal of the self merely a privilege? How might wilful dispossession and agency be related through difference, as interconnected transitions of power, in such a way that reveals theatricality in the construction of reality?

    Plurilingualism in sustainable development: the hidden dimension

    5th European plurilingualism conference

    L’UNESCO nous rappelle que la diversité linguistique et le multilinguisme sont essentiels pour le développement durable, mais l’attention se porte essentiellement sur les langues menacées et place la sauvegarde de la diversité linguistique sur le même plan que la biodiversité. La question des langues en danger est en effet essentielle, et quelques études suggèrent que la disparition des langues présente des risques importants pour la conservation de la biodiversité. Ce que nous voulons faire apparaître, c’est que les langues entrent en jeu dans tous les processus économiques, sociaux et culturels qui sont à la base du développement. La culture, l’éducation et la santé sont des facteurs de développement majeurs dont l’accumulation du capital est plus une conséquence qu’une cause et, où que l’on se place dans le monde, on peut en faire le constat, le rôle de la langue est omniprésent.

    Narrating Postmigration: Interdisciplinary Approaches

    These study days at Aix-Marseille Université aim to gather junior and advanced scholars working in the broad field of postmigration studies. Within this scope, we will focus on postmigration narratives – a notion that encompasses both fictional narratives and narratives documented in ethnographies – understood as narrative forms that that do not primarily refer to a migration event but rather “the transformation and cultural mixing processes that it produces for future generations” (Geiser 2008 127). Our objective is to produce a comparative dialogue between literary studies and social sciences that is based on a common understanding of postmigration narratives as migration heritage.
