  Thinking about violence in Africa through women’s experiences: vulnerability & subversion

  Penser la violence en Afrique au travers de l’expérience des femmes: vulnérabilité et subversion

  The two-day conference “Junges Forum 2020” seeks to reflect on women’s experiences of violence in Africa from an interdisciplinary perspective. The aim is not to discuss passive experience in the context of violence (if it exists at all) but to attempt to outline different experiences of violence (symbolic, social, domestic, epistemic, political or sexual) as well as to explore how they can be transformed, appropriated and reversed. The “Junges Forum” explicitly invites young researchers (PhD students, postdoctoral scholars) to share their ideas from various disciplines (anthropology, film studies, gender studies, history, literary studies, psychology, sociology, etc.) in order to encourage an interdisciplinary exchange and open debates related to the topic. The main focus is to be on African countries and regions only.

  Frontier(s) and Frontier-zone(s) in the English-speaking world

  Call for papers

  It may be argued that any frontier is the expression of what is discontinuous, of the existence of an ‘inside’ and of an ‘outside’, in short, that a frontier is an attempt to keep the ‘other’ at bay, whatever the meaning of the term – a given geographical territory, or a specific political entity, or a different culture, or else all of these put together. These considerations are in tune with the etymological origin of the word ‘frontier’ itself, i.e. anything that helps a group of people ‘develop a united front’. Examples abound, from the so-called ‘natural’ frontier of this or that country to Brexit, to the wall that President Trump has set out to build between his own country and Mexico.

  Identidades, valores e modos de vida

  XI Congresso português de sociologia

  A proposta para este Congresso da Associação Portuguesa de Sociologia é a de debatermos na área temática de identidades, valores e modos de vida os vários planos e escalas da incerteza e do risco na experiência dos sujeitos, tanto a nível individual como coletivo, destacando o interesse em analisar e desconstruir a tendência para a normalização da descontinuidade e da incerteza. Procura-se, por um lado, prover a análise dos efeitos sobre a transformação da experiência e, por outro, a observação das estratégias e dos mecanismos de superação engendrados pelas instituições e pelos indivíduos.

  Sábios, professores e artistas. Artes e saberes em movimento, práticas em transformação

  CONLAB 2020 - CALL GT73

  De que modo pode o diálogo com as artes ajudar a transformar práticas pedagógicas tendo em vista a construção de saberes e, simultaneamente, a superação de situações de conflito, dis-criminação e desigualdade em contexto de sala de aula? Na resposta a esta questão inspiramo-nos nas palavras de Max Weber em torno de “A Ciência como Vocação” para daí interrogar o papel e o lugar do professor universitário e as (novas) exigências do “fazer docente”, hoje.

  LGBTI and Queer Arts, Cultures and Activisms

  In France, a few years after the law authorizing same-sex marriage, LGBTQ associations are now facing new struggles, fighting for access to assisted procreation or the creation of a communal archive center. Drawing on these dynamics, this conference aims at interrogating the bonds between LGBTQ forms of arts, cultures and activisms. We look forward to opening a space for academics and grassroots activists, whether they be engaged in institutional collectives or not, to exchange, reflect and dialogue. LGBTQ-related topics appear to be often overlooked in French research networks. We aim to make it more visible and richer, and make it dialogue with local, national and international networks of academics and activists.

  Music and the Spanish Civil War

  This two-day conference aims to create a framework for a broader understanding of the ways in which Spanish and non-Spanish musicians (including composers, performers, conductors, musicologists, critics, and others) relate to this key historical and ideological conflict of the 20^th century. These relationships are not limited to the wartime period but also include the subsequent decades, in which a large number of musicians from Spain and abroad reflected on the confrontation and its consequences in their work.

  Song in Montmartre (1860-1960)

  Entre 1860 et 1960, la chanson montmartroise est parvenue à incarner Paris aussi bien dans le reste de la France qu’à l’étranger. Pourtant, ce répertoire s’inspire souvent des aspects locaux et villageois du quartier (en mettant notamment en avant son argot). [...] Comment insérer ce répertoire dans une histoire sonore et musicale du quartier-Montmartre et, dans celle de Paris ? Qui sont les acteurs de la chansons montmartroise, car cette histoire n’a pas été écrite que par des musiciens et des paroliers, mais avec la collaboration d’illustrateurs, de critiques, d’éditeurs, d’agents d’artistes, etc. Les interprètes se trouvent également au centre de ce monde de la chanson, tout comme la partition (considérée aussi comme objet illustré signé souvent par artistes célèbres). Partant de ces questionnements, nous souhaitons stimuler, lors de la journée d'études, des réflexions qui dynamisent la pensée autour de la chanson montmartroise et, par extension, française, soulignant les liens qui les rendent indissociables.

  The semiotics and the challenge of intercultural communication in the age of globalisation

  "Semiotics and literary texts" - 10th international conference

  Est-ce-que  la sémiotique peut définir un modèle permettant de décrire la dynamique de toutes les formes culturelles (Fontanille), et favorisant ainsi la création de significations culturelles par l’entremise des signes (sémiosphère – école de Tartu), en réponse aux nombreux défis imposés par une mondialisation qui, tout en prétendant repousser les frontières entre les peuples jusqu’à les abolir, ne fait que renfoncer ces frontières par une volonté d’uniformiser la diversité culturelle au nom d’une utopie universaliste. Ces questions et d’autres seront abordées lors du dixième colloque international « Sémiotique et texte littéraire » et qui aura pour objet la sémiotique au défi de la communication interculturelle à l’ère de la mondialisation.

  Human enterprises: ecology and accountancy philosophies

  Combining economic and ecology to rejuvenate the human direction of businesses

  Sur la période 2020 - 2022, le Collège des Bernardins et AgroParistech vont réaliser un nouveau cycle de recherches portant sur les possibilités de faire progresser les relations entre l’économie, les entreprises humaines et l’écologie, par le moyen des philosophies comptables. Les philosophies comptables fondent historiquement nos manières de prendre en compte, compter et rendre compte. Elles déterminent ainsi les modalités de cadrage et d’organisation de la décision et de l’action humaine et structurent la manière dont sont pris en considération les dimensions politiques et les enjeux sociaux et environnementaux associés à ces actions. Chaque présentation sera suivie d'une séance de questions et d'échanges avec le public.

  Berber theatre. Textual and aesthetic analysis

  Le colloque international sur le théâtre amazigh sera l’occasion de l’élaboration d’un discours nuancé sur les ambitions du théâtre amazigh et son analyse textuelle et esthétique en traitant plusieurs questions ouvertes concernant son développement actuel : Quelles sont les pièces et les créateurs / acteurs contemporains ? Quelles sont leurs stratégies par rapport à la langue des pièces de théâtre ? Le débat entre langue quotidienne (avec les emprunts à l’arabe et au français) et langue standardisée et « purifiée » (en récupérant les mots anciens et désuets et en rénovant le vocabulaire de la variante locale avec des néologismes) est-il encore un enjeu pour le travail des créateurs et des acteurs du théâtre amazigh ?

  Visibility of religious difference in Medieval Europe and the Mediterranean

  Hamsa. Journal of Judaic and Islamic Studies, nº 7 (2020)

  The goal of this volume is to show ways in which religion marked a perceptible difference in Medieval Europe and the Mediterranean. Considering visibility in the wider sense of the word -also including acoustic perception and other aspects that would differentiate them- religion made people either from their own will or under external coercion- visible within medieval societies. The tension between visibility through othering or self-labelling, and invisibility through cultural assimilation was a constant in the complex medieval cities and rural areas. It also carried on beyond the medieval period, sometimes reproducing previous problems, sometimes in the shape of new challenges. How did these dynamics play out? Can common patterns be found? What caused them to come into play? Where do we observe compliance or reluctance towards the aforementioned normative orders? Do we see spatial manifestations of these tensions? These (and other) questions may be addressed in case studies from different geographic areas and time periods.

  Music at the cinema: ethno-psychological representations

  Même la meilleure répétition d’une même scène, bien chronologiquement montée par rapport à la totalité du film, figure insuffisante pour convaincre le public : une bande musicale doit alors s’ajouter, afin de permettre aux spectateurs de se sentir plongés dans l’histoire, prenant la place des acteurs, souffrant leur problème, vivant leur joie, disséquant leurs différentes situations, états psychiques et ethniques. Notre livre collectif baptisé « La musique au cinéma, des représentations éthno-psychologiques » vise à mettre en clair cette distinction.

  Research in Medieval Studies - An International Meeting Series

  The past decade has witnessed a marked increase in medieval studies. Younger scholars have, in general, benefitted from doctoral and post-doctoral funding, besides collective research programmes. This, along with the experience and know-how of established academics in countless departments around the Globe has helped to foster this renewal. Results have been ground-breaking in many topics. The Research in Medieval Studies (RiMS) is conceived of as an ongoing series of yearly meetings whose aim is to bring scholars of different academic and geographical backgrounds together to open, or otherwise continue and direct, historiographical debate on key issues in medieval studies, while helping to establish outstanding research that is both innovative and comparative.

  Guido delle Colonne and his Reception in Medieval Europe

  Guido delle Colonne’s Historia destructionis Troiae has been a phenomenal success since its composition at the end of the 13th century. Nevertheless, academic studies remain limited and questions remain open about the author himself (judge, historian and poet?), about his sources – including the essential Trojan novel in verse by Benoît de Saint Maure –, about the construction and style of his work and about its intents in a particularly troubled period. While significant progress has been made in recent years, studies are far from being exhaustive and the case deserve to be considered anew. Historia's interest lies in particular in the translations, adaptations and summaries it generated throughout Europe until the 17^th century. This international conference aims thus to shed new lights on the original text as well as on the diversity of its appropriations, between filiation and emancipation. In this regard, the spectacular diffusion has contributed to strenghten a Trojan European literature.
