  The Smaller European Powers and China in the Cold War, 1949-1989

  This international conference aims to examine the policies of the smaller European powers towards China – and vice versa – during the Cold War. Thereby it focuses, on the European side, on both Western and Eastern Europe – regardless of whether a country was part of the NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Meanwhile, on the Chinese side, the conference proposes to include both Chinas, namely the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China (RoC). While this should allow for the analysis of different relational constellations, the chronological framework – that ranges from the Communist victory in China in 1949 to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989 – should enable us to identify policy shifts and patterns.

  Common Experiences, Common Desires ? Tracing an Intellectual History between China and Africa

  Conférence ANR Espaces de la culture chinoise en Afrique (EsCA)

  In his 1954 presentation to dignitaries from across Asia and Africa, Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai acknowledged the differences between the two cultural spheres; nevertheless, Zhou stressed, a more important factor in all future relations should be the “common experiences and desires” of people from across the two continents to create a new world from the ashes of war and colonialism. Building on Zhou’s insight into commonalities of experience, this presentation will trace the cultural intersections that have existed between China and African since the 1920s.

  « Passe ! »

  Les déclencheurs inattendus de l’acte créatif

  Passe ! Mot d'enfance qui renvoie aux premiers échanges d'un temps perdu chéri par l'art, mot ludique entre tous qui rappelle que la création artistique ne va pas sans jeu, « Passe ! » s’inscrit dans notre questionnement sur les déclencheurs inattendus de l’acte créatif. Cette nouvelle journée d'études d'e-LLA s'intéressera aux influences non réciproques qui passent inaperçues, soit qu'elles appartiennent à des genres mineurs, soit que leur furtivité ne leur permette pas de s'inscrire dans la postérité, soit que les créateurs et les penseurs eux-mêmes n'en aient pas conscience. Notre réflexion s'attachera à observer comment la création peut naître de ces influences fugaces, comment ce qui semble inconséquent peut se révéler indispensable dans le processus créatif.
