  History Review of the technical modernity in France (the twentieth century to the present)

  Critical thinking of modernity has never been more relevant. She also has a history, especially since the late eighteenth century. Its players may have been either movements (1810 Luddites to the Surrealists in the late 1950s, and other movements today) or relatively isolated thinkers, and more involved in writing (sometimes the pamphlet) than in transformative political action. The proposed program focuses on this second category, most misunderstood, but also addresses the first category – in both cases over a period extending from the early twentieth century to today. It puts them into perspective with some excitement speeches of the dominant technical modernity that often they criticize, especially in the period of the 1930s and that of the years 1960-1980.

  Call for papers - Modern

  Fictionalité et économie dans la France moderne et contemporaine (XIXe-XXIe siècle)

  Colloque international interdisciplinaire

  Dans le sillage des récents travaux menés sur la question de la représentation de l’argent et de l’économie dans les fictions littéraires et théâtrales aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles , nous proposons de poursuivre ces investigations sur les XIXe et XXe siècles, encore relativement peu explorés. Laissant volontairement de côté monographies et approches thématiques, on cherchera surtout à mettre en évidence les procédures et expérimentations de type économique littéralement à l’œuvre dans les textes littéraires, afin d’isoler des schèmes communs de fonctionnement et peut-être, des régimes de fictionalité comparables.
