Nature, environnement et écocritique dans les littératures et cultures francophones

Depuis les années 1990, on observe un intérêt croissant pour les questions d’ordre écologique suscitées par les conséquences directes du réchauffement global et la destruction des moyens de subsistance de millions d’individus. Alors que les travaux scientifiques sur les relations entre l’individu et l’environnement se sont tout d’abord concentrés sur la région anglophone et ont émergé – sous le nom « Ecocritism » – comme un nouveau domaine de recherches interdisciplinaire des études littéraires aux États-Unis, les approches théoriques de ce champ en plein essor sont de plus en plus discutées en Europe. À ce sujet, il est étonnant de constater que les approches écocritiques n’ont jusqu’à présent guère été reçues dans la romanistique germanophone. Partant de ce désidératum, la section se propose de faire le point sur les discours écocritiques et écopoétiques actuels, d’explorer les relations historiques entre nature, environnement et individu, et de discuter le potentiel des approches écocritiques dans les littératures francophones anciennes et contemporaines.

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel

In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

What is Border Studies?

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel

The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

Conflict management in modern diplomacy (1500-1914)

The conference, which is organised by the research group “Diplomacy in Conflict”, focuses on conflict management as the constant processes of mediation and negotiation, which included efforts but also resistance, success but also failure. Diplomatic contacts were not only destined to resolve political or military conflicts, but could also be highly conflictual themselves, due to cultural differences, such as incompatible codes or stereotypes. Diplomatic strategies comprised the avoidance and resolution of conflicts as well as their deliberate escalation or provocation. Furthermore, since the end of the 18^th century, cultural conflicts became increasingly charged with national connotations.

Wozu Fachgeschichte und wer soll sie schreiben?

Die Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie und ihr Verhältnis zur eigenen Geschichte und zu den Geschichtswissenschaften

„Die beste Art, eine Wissenschaft mitzuteilen, sei Erzählung ihrer Geschichte“. Diese kluge Empfehlung von Heinrich Du Bois-Reymond, Gründungsmitglied der Berliner Gesellschaft für Anthropologie, Ethnologie und Urgeschichte, im Jahre 1872 entspricht allerdings nicht mehr der Praxis des wissenschaftsgeschichtlichen Arbeitens.

How Are Science and Technology Engaged in Eco-Innovations?

3rd ISA Forum of Sociology: joint Session RC23 and RC24

The aim of this joint session organized during the 3rd ISA Forum is to explore the various ways in which eco-innovations are studied at the intersection of environmental sociology with the sociology of science and technology. The session invites scholars who improve our understanding about the technical resolution of environmental issues. By so doing, we would like to open new paths for analysing the production, the adoption and the institutionalisation of ecoinnovations, but also the mobilization of skills and knowledge.

The Families We (Do Not) Want

Constructing the Past, Present and Future Families through Rituals

At the beginning of the 20th century, The Elementary Forms of the Religious Life (Durkheim, 1912) paved the way for sociology to explore, conceptualize and understand the power of rituals in our lives. Since then, rituals ceased to be envisaged in the restricted area of religion and the sacred; its study gradually extended to several dimensions of the everyday interaction and social imaginaries. Family rituals constitute no exception. Rituals have never been as studied and celebrated as they are now all around the world.

Theory in Love

International Comparative Literature Association XXIst Congress - session 17327

In The Politics of Friendship Derrida reflects on the question of the indecidable possibility, the “peut-être,” of love, of friendship, and of desire: “‘Je t'aime entends- tu?’; cette déclaration d'aimance hyperbolique ne pourrait donner sa chance à une politique de l'amitié que soumise à l'épreuve du peut-être, de l'indécidable” How then can we express a refusal, a no, without listening, without hearing? How can one express the divergent and differential possibilities opened by this phrase? And yet Derrida already has, in Envois, where he explores, theorizes and dramatizes a love affair, tracing the course of its refusal in the various postcards and letters which remain unsent, forever awaiting their destination. This panel concerns theory speaking in terms of love, seeking to establish the relationship between “ l’âmour” and theory.

The central bank balance sheet in a long-term perspective

How to construct it, how to read it, what to learn from it

The purpose of the workshop is to gather scholars who have worked with historic central bank balance sheets to put these current debates into a longer-term perspective. We particularly welcome contributions that highlight the challenges posed by analyzing balance sheets both in a cross section and over time, notably by potentially different meanings of balance sheet categories and changes in the underlying operations.
