Déguisements, travestissements, transformations
Séminaire de Questes
Le séminaire de Questes, groupe de jeunes médiévistes, s'attache pour trois séances à étudier l'articulation du déguisement, du travestissement et de la transformation dans le temps long de la civilisation médiévale. La prolifique bibliographie qui est le fruit de la rencontre entre les études de genre et le Moyen Âge nous invite à problématiser le rapport entre ces termes : loin de les envisager comme synonymes, nous souhaitons penser la relation entre extérieur et intérieur de l'individu d'une manière dynamique. Modifier son aspect extérieur au Moyen Âge, est-ce révéler son intériorité réelle au monde, attester une transformation intime, accompagner cette transformation identitaire ? Notre approche sera plurielle et fera dialoguer littérature, histoire, et histoire de l'art.

LGBTQIA+ sexualities: subjectivities, movements, languages
LGBTQIA+ studies for contemporary history, having produced a vast amount of researches, are still questioning history and historiography: how can LGBTQIA+ history be written? Does it merely overlap with the history of LGBTQIA+ subjectivities or does it exceed the boundaries of the LGBTQIA+ community? Does it challenge the historical imagination in terms of sources, archives, political and disciplinary boundaries, gender categories? Diacronie. Studi di Storia Contemporanea is looking for contributions aimed at investigating these issues.

Narrative forms and co-production in Arab cinemas
Norms, constraints, and margins of freedom
Film industry in the Arab world remains generally underdeveloped. Arab countries still depend on international film support funds, mainly European. This puts Arab producers, scriptwriters and filmmakers in a subaltern position in relation to European producers and funders, whose expectations in terms of content as well as narrative and aesthetic forms end up strongly impacting the film creation process. On the other hand, margins of freedom and resistance can be created within this system. This edition of Regards aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

Gendered Species: Colette, Gender and Sexual Identities
Espèces genrées : Colette, le genre et les identités sexuées
Although French woman writer Colette was indifferent to and even critical of the feminist movement of the early 1900s, in the way she lived her life as in her fiction, she exemplified financial and social independence and shame-free sexuality, or what would be call today “gender fluidity”. This international conference will show how Colette represents a vibrant and radical expression of feminism in tune with the #MeToo spirit in today's society

“Marine Feet and Vesuvian Eyes”: The Volcanic Aesthetics of Maria Orsini Natale
Edited Collection
This volume intends to fill a gap in the critical reception of a remarkable Southern Italian woman writer. A journalist, a poet and a writer, Maria Orsini Natale (1928-2010) lived and worked at the foot of Vesuvius, and began writing at age 69, receiving several literary recognitions. Her novel, initially written as Ottocento Vesuviano, then entitled Francesca and Nunziata, and published for the first time in 1995, was also made into a 2001 film directed by Lina Wertmüller, starring Sophia Loren and Giancarlo Giannini. The book earned her a semifinalist’s place in the Strega Prize, the most prestigious Italian literary award, and features a family from Amalfi, dedicated for generations to the white art of pasta making. More than fiction, it illustrates what in Neapolitan is called a ‘cunto’, part historical account and part allegorical tale, derived from a reservoir of collective as well as personal memories.

Femininity and masculinity in Spanish series
Cultural industries and assignations of gender
La fiction sérielle en Espagne a déjà une longue histoire. Elle commence dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle avec les romans feuilletons publiés dans la presse, dont le lectorat était aussi bien masculin que féminin. Les premières fictions sérielles espagnoles datent de la fin des années 1950 et leur identité est étroitement liée à ce contexte historique. TVE, la télévision nationale franquiste, est fondée en 1956 ; elle apparaît très vite au régime comme un formidable outil de propagande. Ainsi, Jaime de Armiñan crée les séries Galería de maridos en 1959 puis, devant le succès de cette première galerie de portraits de jeunes mariés, Galería de esposas en 1960 qui met en scène des modèles féminins en accord avec une idéologie national-catholique qui promeut la domesticité (modèle de « el ángel del hogar », ou la fée du logis).

Killing the fathers: Women behind the camera on home movies
The Study day « Killing the fathers : Women behind the camera on home movies » proposes a collective reflection on amateur images produced by the family. By affirming and perpetuating the family institution in its patriarchal, nuclear and heterosexual configuration, the home movie has thus contributed to reproduce the bourgeois codes and hierarchies of gender and sexuality. By conceiving amateur cinema as a “technology of gender” (De Lauretis, 1987), we welcome papers on amateur images made by women to uncover and analyse their own “familial gaze”.

Vocal materialities - voices, gender and medias
Voix, genre et médias
À travers cette journée d’étude, nous souhaitons ouvrir un espace de réflexion sur les liens entre voix et genre dans les pratiques médiatiques contemporaines. Nous nous intéressons prioritairement à la matérialité des voix, aux dispositifs médiatiques qui les diffusent aussi bien qu’aux enjeux épistémologiques et aux outils méthodologiques permettant de les analyser.

Collective Identities and Post-War Violence in Europe 1944–1948
The conference will analyze the composition of nationalities (who belonged to the national community?), the legitimizing function of nationalism, and its relation to acts of violence at the end of war and to the reshaping of postwar societies. At the same time, we want to address the differences between countries. How did a specific occupation policy in a specific place, with its specific national and racist criteria, influence the “responses” of the occupied society? Is there any evidence of a biological understanding of nationhood? How did competing concepts shape a new understanding of the “nation”—particularly taking into consideration the different political and cultural developments in various nation-states after the war ended? We are interested in papers that touch upon violent acts occurring at the end of World War II and stemming from nationalism as reshaped by previous war experiences.

Dispossession: Feminist post-pornography in Spain and Latin America
Identification, rejet, fascination, trouble, libération, les explorations féministes contemporaines ne laissent pas de place à l’indifférence. Au sein de l’hispanisme français et depuis CHISPA, centre de recherche sur les cultures hispaniques actuelles et les contre-discours, nous souhaitons ouvrir un espace de réflexion sur les créations post-pornographiques d’Amérique latine et d’Espagne qui se réapproprient les corps et les sexualités, comme autant de dé-possessions vis-à-vis du patriarcat, en ce début de XXIe siècle. L’objectif de notre colloque est de faire connaître des objets culturels marginalisés qui dialoguent avec et se nourrissent de théories, critiques et pratiques, le plus souvent militantes, afin de contribuer à enrichir un champ d’études indisciplinées (Certeau) en pleine expansion.

Literary and iconographic representations of the nation
Depuis une dizaine d’années les études sur le genre et les masculinités gagnent de la place dans le paysage académique français grâce aux nouvelles approches théoriques d’analyse culturelle venues particulièrement des pays anglophones (Butler, Connell, etc.), et ce malgré l’opposition de plus en plus criante de certains groupes religieux et d’une partie de la société civile (La Manif pour Tous, Civitas, Sens commun) qui dénoncent une manipulation idéologique de la part des universitaires dans le but de défaire le genre organisant les modes de fonctionnement sociaux et les rapports de domination. Dans ce contexte de forte remise en cause des luttes pour l’égalité de genre et pour les droits des personnes LGBTIQ, il importe de continuer les réflexions engagées lors de la journée d’études « Masculinités hispaniques : déviances et résistances dans la littérature hispanophone contemporaine » (octobre 2016) à partir d’une nouvelle perspective d’analyse : les rapports étroits entre masculinité et nation.

Male Bonds in Nineteenth-Century Art
The conference will probe, challenge and expand upon the academic narrative of male homosociality through the lens of art history. It aims to establish an overview of a variety of male bonds that underpinned nineteenth-century art, and to consider the theoretical and methodological implications of the study thereof. In so doing, it seeks to build a bridge between traditional art-historical scholarship and the fields of gender and gay and lesbian studies: an interdisciplinary exchange of which the full potential for scholarship on the nineteenth century remains to be exploited.

Liberty and freedom for everyone?
Women and the struggle for social progress, 1700-1918
Bien que les efforts pour l’amélioration du statut des femmes puissent être observés au cours de toute l’histoire, nous voudrions focaliser notre discussion sur les « longues XVIIIe et XIXe siècles », car c’étaient les transformations politiques, économiques, aussi bien que les changements dans les mentalités de ce temps-là qui aboutirent au tournant du XXe siècle.

La persistance lumineuse des ténèbres
This seminar is centred around the notion of home and its multiple denotations and dimensions, and proposes a reflection on the boundaries of the concept and how it is represented in modern and contemporary European literature, more specifically (auto-) biographical fiction that problematizes the relation between subject and its spaces of origin.

Masculine bodies - literary and iconographic representations of the nation
Les origines de la conscience nationale et les attributs qui lui ont été associés s’avèrent inséparables des caractérisations du corps masculin. En effet, la virilité a été utilisée de manière très productive dans les descriptions idéales de la nation et de ses représentants. Plus récemment, Tod W. Reeser (2010) a analysé que dans le discours de la nation et de la masculinité, ces caractérisations sont « imaginées, limitées et démarquées ». Ce phénomène apparaît par exemple dans les représentations viriles de l’armée comme corps défensif de la nation ou, au contraire, dans les traits féminins ou efféminés attribués à l’ennemi. Selon ce spécialiste, « la masculinité peut aider à faire apparaître la nationalité comme naturelle ». Ainsi, la naturalisation de la nation et celle du corps masculin s’insèrent au sein d’un seul et même processus discursif.

“Estudos sociais”, painel: 12/59, 56° Congresso Internacional de Americanistas
O eixo temático deste simpósio propõe abordar a dimensão vertical e horizontal da circulação de práticas e conhecimentos entre categorias sociais. Trata-se de articular a inter-relação da perspectiva social com a aproximação espacial das dinâmicas através das quais circulam e às quais estão veiculadas ideias e experiências. A articulação de ambos os aspectos permitiria revelar a complexidade desta relação e refletir sobre os mecanismos teóricos que evidenciam a permeabilidade social entre as práticas, conhecimentos e ideias.

An International Conference on Serge Gainsbourg
In 1989, a survey of French cultural taste revealed that Serge Gainsbourg was both one of the most popular singers and yet a near outcast in his native country. When he died, two years later, President Mitterrand called him “our Baudelaire, our Apollinaire,” claiming he had “elevated chanson to the level of art.” But he might just as well have acknowledged Gainsbourg as the first artist to top the British charts with a single in a foreign language. With the hindsight of almost thirty years, one thing is, in any case, certain: sampled by Beck, De La Soul, Massive Attack and Fatboy Slim, remixed by Howie B. and David Holmes, translated by Mick Harvey and covered by Iggy Pop, Donna Summer, Portishead, Madeleine Peyroux, the Pet Shop Boys and Franz Ferdinand, “the man with the cabbage head” remains the Francophone songwriter whose contribution to the international appeal of French popular music has been the most significant in the post-war era.

Scritture femminili del Novecento Europeo
In un momento in cui i flussi migratori ci interpellano sempre più e in un’ottica sempre meno nazionale e sempre più europea, e in cui la categoria di frontiera è in via di profonda ridefinizione, il pensiero di coloro che hanno conosciuto/raccontato l’esilio è un supporto prezioso alle nostre riflessioni più attuali. I Club Soroptimist International di Messina e di Spadafora Gallo-Niceto organizzano un Convegno sulla Letteratura femminile del Novecento Europeo sul tema dell’Esilio. Gli interventi che si succederanno andranno ad abbracciare: l’esperienza esistenziale di autrici di testi letterari di qualsiasi genere che hanno vissuto in prima personale la fuga e il confino, attraverso i loro scritti personali e autobiografici; le storie di finzione (romanzi, poesie, racconti, radiodrammi, …) pubblicate da autrici che hanno affrontato tali tematiche senza per questo aver vissuto necessariamente sulla propria pelle l’erranza e l’estradizione.
