Collaboration, participation and collective practices in contemporary photography in the UK and France

The conference seeks to address collaboration and the spectrum of collective working methods which have defined and keep informing some of the independent practices in the field of photography in the 20^th and 21^st centuries. Our focus is on the UK and France, and seeks to envision case studies in a comparative approach.

Censorship: Creative contemporary constraints and dynamics in the representation of the British and American nations

This 2016 workshop on contemporary US-UK photography will take on the notion of censorship. With photography as its starting point, this edition aims to extend the debate to include the contemporary image on the whole. It is interested in the intermedial forays of other artistic forms in the practice of photographers (art installations, video and/or audio productions, performance, urban art practices, text/image interactions). How does the very artistic form/medium become in itself a means of expression and commitment when confronted with censorship, a means to create unity against censorship, a tool for identity expression of a group or of a minority, to circumvent constraints, or thrive upon these limits and generate creative impetus from them?

The Hammer studio. A laboratory for modern horror

Au moment de la réédition de la célèbre revue Midi-minuit fantastique (Rouge profond) et dans une période où le genre fantastique / horrifique est particulièrement dynamique tant au cinéma que dans les séries télévisées, il semble opportun de faire retour sur le rôle joué par la Hammer Films, studio indépendant britannique qui, vingt ans après Universal, a fait revivre les grandes figures mythiques (Dracula, Frankenstein, la momie, le loup-garou etc.) en leur donnant une incarnation modernisée plus conforme à l’évolution de la société et des mœurs en Angleterre en particulier.

Representations of Power and Power of the Image in British and American Contemporary Photography

Représentations du pouvoir et pouvoir de l’image dans la photographie contemporaine américaine et britannique

From the power of images to images of power, this workshop will explore the representations of power and the power of representation in contemporary American and British photography. What is photography capable of doing? Whether in the form of a public person, the environment of power (emblematic places and explicit or underlying forms) or its symbolism, what is photography capable of revealing about power itself? Political, institutional, economic or social power all depend upon a system of relations or tensions between groups or individuals (accepted, rejected, questioned, expressed visually or internalized) participating in the construction of the identity, myths or memories of the American or British nations. In what manner does photography enhance or contribute to this construction or deconstruction of the notion of identity and nation?

How do we globalize the long eighteenth century?

Quelle globalisation pour le long XVIIIe siècle ?

Every student of the 17th or 18th century encounters in his or her own way the global historical dimensions of the more or less ‘domestic’ (provincial, national) subject being addressed. For decades, perhaps, many of us ignored these ramifications, which among other things were hard to treat because we are generally hardpressed to bring to such subjects the kind of specialized knowledge we are used to. (There are of course exceptions, involving colleagues who consciously adopt a global approach, e.g. Atlantic studies, though even these are no doubt truncated in different ways.) In all, the global was not an ‘aporia’ of our studies, so much as something more or less difficult to draw into the discussion and, in that sense, an ‘impensé’.

The American and British Nations in Contemporary Landscape Photography

This second workshop in a series devoted to photography and national identity will question the way in which landscape as represented through the specificities of the photographic medium may participate in the construction of contemporary American and British national identities.

Edited Collection of Essays on Arthur Conan Doyle’s Professor Challenger Narratives Challenger Unbound

Habitually characterised as a late-appearing variant upon the Victorian Quest Romance, The Lost World in fact marked the beginning of Arthur Conan Doyle’s prolonged investigation of science, ideology and belief under the inhibiting constraints of early twentieth-century modernity. The narratives span from 1912 to 1929 and this new collection will be dedicated to re-evaluating the narratives, their author, the wider culture that he inhabited and the legacy of his work for the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. We are interested in work that treats the texts either directly or tangentially through other aspects of Conan Doyle’s life and thought.

Echoes of the Georgian and Victorian societies in contemporary British arts

Conference organised by the association One Piece at a Time (GEIAB) and the université Paris-Diderot (English studies)

La deuxième journée d'étude de l'association One Piece at A Time sur les arts britanniques est réalisée en partenariat avec l'université Paris-Diderot et aura lieu le 5 juin 2010.

Comment se manifestent ses résurgences et que disent-elles du moment postmoderne dans lequel elles s'inscrivent ? Comment les différentes disciplines, d'histoire de l'art, de littérature et de civilisations anglophones ou encore d'esthétique ou d'histoire répondent ces cette problématique commune ?

Comment les stratégies élaborées par les acteurs du monde de l'art britannique ont façonné l'histoire et la géographie des scènes artistiques au Royaume-Uni après la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale ?
