    Empathy and the Aesthetics of Language

    For three decades, the question of the role played by empathy in the aesthetic apprehension of language, and notably in the experience of literature, has been the topic of a growing number of studies. A joint project of the University of Parma, Aix-Marseille University and the University of Texas at Austin, this two-day webinar brings together thirteen experts – philosophers, literary theorists, neuroscientists, psychologists, historians – whose contributions will be published in two special issues of Texas Studies for Literature and Language (TSLL). Taken together, the talks proposed aim at offering an updated and encompassing discussion of recent, but also older research in the field. The webinar intends to address the question of empathy and the aesthetics of language from a cross-disciplinary and cross-methodological perspective, by giving room to both theoretical and empirical approaches and tackling the concept of empathy in all its semantic diversity.

    Entre résilience, durabilité et intelligence artificielle (IA) : quels enjeux pour les acteurs du secteur du tourisme en zone transfrontalière ?

    Riche d’un patrimoine naturel et culturel diversifié tout en profitant de la proximité de grands réservoirs de populations de l’Europe du Nord-Ouest (Allemagne, Belgique, France et Luxembourg), ces territoires qui accueillent un grand nombre de touristes, représentent un moteur économique important. Cependant, l’industrie du tourisme traverse actuellement des changements profonds en raison de différentes crises (sanitaire, énergétique, climatique etc…) qui ont largement perturbé le modèle économique et social conduisant à de profondes mutations du secteur de tourisme. Afin de cerner ces transformations majeures et d’en comprendre le sens, ce colloque ambitionne de fournir les clefs d’analyses et de préconisations de solutions prospectives.

    Contemporary African Art and New Media: Reflections on a New “Intermediatique Axis of Relevance”

    This collective work project addresses the question of the encounter between contemporary African art, new media and intermediality from a creative point of view. It attempts to rethink this encounter in the light of media ondines. The contributions invited in this call for papers require a multidisciplinary approach, in order to better question the mutations that characterise contemporary African artistic creation. We are particularly interested in articles that broaden the aesthetic and temporal categories through which contemporary art, new media and intermediality are traditionally understood.

    Revue « Verbum et Lingua : Didactique, langue et culture »

    The editorial team of Verbum et Lingua has determined that the thematic focus of this publication will be “Cultural mediation in language teaching: possibilities, challenges or mission impossible?”. Cultural mediation is understood as the search for understanding and comprehension between linguistic and cultural differences of different communities. The teaching of languages and cultures plays a role in cultural mediation through pedagogy, linguistics, intercultural studies, research and methodological tools that serve this purpose. Therefore, the journal invites specialists in cultural mediation and linguistic intermediaries, interested in facilitating the teaching of languages and cultures as a bridge to a better understanding between them, to participate with article proposals.

    Beyond clichés: social-cultural representations and practices of polygamy across Sub-Saharan women’s creative works

    Seminar Series: Women in French Australia

    In this seminar we propose to re-centre various cultural representations arising from literature (oral and written), artistic mediums, media, music and cinema by Francophone Sub-Saharan women. Importantly, this seminar aims to go beyond the denunciation-celebration axis that has so far tinged many a study on polygamy in cultural representations from the continent to explore polygamy in all its forms, including unofficial extra-marital relations implying tacit acceptance of polygamy (Boni, 139), and modes of expression.

    As Inquisições Ibéricas: fontes e desafios

    Curso de verão

    As Inquisições Ibéricas sempre despertaram o interesse. Quer tenha sido nos autores que com elas coexistiram, quer na literatura, quer na historiografia, as Inquisições ibéricas marcaram indelevelmente os quotidianos das sociedades ibéricas e dos respectivos espaços do império. O Curso de Verão "As Inquisições Ibéricas: Fontes e Desafios" pretende refletir acerca da importância dos tribunais inquisitoriais nas sociedades do seu tempo e compreender as potencialidades do uso da documentação por eles produzida para o estudo dos atores sociais e de fenómenos que, em muitos casos, podem ser analisados de forma conectada. O curso reúne um conjunto alargado de especialistas nos estudos inquisitoriais, cujas intervenções demonstrarão as possibilidades do uso das fontes inquisitoriais. Dar-se-á atenção à necessidade de esta documentação ser usada muito além do estudo isolado das Inquisições, percebendo as suas articulações, enraizamentos locais e impacto em sociedades espalhadas pelo mundo.

C’est ce que semblent suggérer les nombreuses réflexions actuelles sur les contributions du territoire - de ses acteurs, de ses proximités, de ses héritages, de ses ressources et de ses échelles -, aux transitions des modes d’habiter, de produire et de consommer, des systèmes de gouvernance et des rapports au vivant, etc. Mais quels sont les ressorts analytique, méthodologique et éthique de cet engouement territorial ? Traduit-il l’émergence d’une « géographie des transitions territoriales » ? Quels en seraient les contours, les caractéristiques et les visions de la transition véhiculées ? Avec quelle pertinence et quelles limites pour affronter l’urgence écologique et les enjeux de justice associés ?
