    Heritages values of 20th century architecture: what recognition?

    Critical review and international forward-looking vision

    The heritage values of 20th century architecture, whether they be cultural, social or technical, remain relatively complex to assess, and thus to share, due to lack of perspective and knowledge. The architectural and urban production of the second half of the 20th century was particularly prolific, sometimes remarkable, even exceptional. The energy, ecological transition, the changing habits and lifestyles are leading to the gradual transformation of this built heritage reaching to the end of its life cycle. Since the 1990-2000’s, a movement for heritage making has developed, which leads to many questions relating to possible and desirable developments of these architectural achievements. This  issue of  In  Situ  seeks  to  take a European or international critical perspective on the architecture of the 20th century and to highlight doctrines and positions adopted, practices and examples of schemes, policies or projects.

    Post-censureship?

    Revue Communications journal no. 106 (2020)

    La foi dans les vertus et les bénéfices sociaux de la liberté d’expression et du free speech a été largement remise en cause et une critique du paradigme dominant de la manière de penser la liberté d’expression et la censure a vu le jour, dont on a pu regrouper les diverses manifestations sous le label de « New Censorship Theory ». C’est sur la question du « free speech » que porte plus précisément cet appel à propositions pour le n° 106 de la revue Communications.

    Conflicts of memory: arts, history, commemorations

    This conference will focus not only on historical events which fuel conflicting memories, but also on works of art – including those produced at the margins of institutions – which encourage or undermine the consensual interpretations of the past. Do artworks promoting a reinterpretation of the past help foster a new type of relationship between the present and the past? Do they open onto a different future? Some works spark off debates and suggest that memory is imbued with potentially irreconcilable sentiments. Historical materials and artworks convey this tension, articulating the gap between dominant and dominated memories. Does art help resolve conflicts or does it perpetuate them? Comparing different artists’ original takes on similar historical events may help us better understand the stakes behind conflicting memories.

    Paradoxical relations between conflict and participation

    Participations journal n°3 / 2015

    L’objectif de cet appel est de proposer une réflexion sur les relations paradoxales entre conflit et participation. Sur le plan théorique, le clivage principal oppose les défenseurs de la « démocratie délibérative » et ceux de la « démocratie agonistique ». Les premiers pensent que les conflits peuvent être affrontés et parfois dépassés, au moins provisoirement, par un processus de discussion argumentée entre les personnes affectées. Les seconds rejettent cette démarche qui risquerait de diluer l’antagonisme social au profit des intérêts les plus forts et les plus organisés.

    Rights and Representations

    Foreign Language Film Conference V

    Submissions are invited for the fifth Foreign Language Film Conference, on the theme of Rights and Representations. In this historic setting of the American South, and in conjunction with Birmingham's 50th anniversary remembrance of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing, FLFC celebrates civil and human rights. Scholars will consider the question of civil rights in international cinematic traditions. How does film as an art and a genre represent civil rights, and human rights? What are the places of rebellion, terrorism, or non-violent resistance in forging individual freedoms, and how is this reflected in national cinematic traditions? How do international films address issues of discrimination, violence, repression, the struggle for social equality ? On the pedagogical side of the question, how do films about civil rights teach their viewers about international cultural and political traditions and movements ? How are these films incorporated into classroom discussions of global civil rights ?
