  “Literary Offenses” and Other Contentious Matter

  This one-day conference will address the subject of controversial or polemical texts such as reviews, essays, letters, prefaces and/or postfaces published between 1800 and 1900 in Britain and the United States. It seeks to open fresh approaches to controversies or polemics by focusing on literature and the literary aspects of these questions. Indeed, if controversy can be defined as a debate between two or more parties with different viewpoints before an audience, studies have mainly come from the fields of social sciences and science studies, with some interest in rhetoric and/or argumentation. However, literary controversies are as important as scientific ones for the constitution of the public, democratic debate as it was shaped in Britain and in the U.S. in the nineteenth century. Controversies and polemics contributed to legitimizing some literary genres; they gave publicity to new or avant-garde authors; they redefined the content and contours of the public debate.

  Modernist Communities

  The inaugural international conference of the French Society of Modernist Studies

  The aim of this two-day conference is to foster discussion on communities in the modernist period. As discursive constructs and historical practices, communities constitute a privileged phenomenon from which to understand the political and ethical regime of modernist texts, as well as the actual forms of collective experience in which writers and readers were involved. More than a decade after Jessica Berman’s landmark work on "the politics of community" in modernist fiction, we seek to explore the various ways in which communities were configured across genres and artistic media, but also to acknowledge the grounds of their historical and cultural specificity. We hope that this will lead us to distinguish various versions of the communal, from the ideal to the empirical, from the utopian to the everyday, from consensus to dissensus.

  Passeurs

  Le thème « Passeurs » offre l'opportunité d'explorer la dynamique de la transmission culturelle, littéraire et linguistique dans le domaine de l'anglistique. Le passeur est à la fois un guide et un intermédiaire, entre deux rives ou deux pays, deux cultures, deux générations ou deux langues. Figure mythologique ou biblique traditionnelle, située dans l’entre-deux de l’enfer et du paradis, du monde des vivants et du royaume des morts, il occupe dès son origine un large territoire symbolique et investit l’imaginaire collectif grâce à son pouvoir de sceller le destin des âmes.
