Sacred texts/Profane images

Dynamics of transmission of religious knowledge: in dialogue with Congolese popular painting

L’art plastique populaire congolaise représente un intéressant point d’observation des processus sociaux et culturels pour une étude des interrelations entre le texte sacré, l’évangelisation et l’iconographie. C'est ce sujet que le colloque veut approcher par une perspective interdisciplinaire et comparative, en élargissant le regard à d'autres domaines historico-culturels, coloniaux et autres, et à la dynamique plus générale d’échange entre la culture savante et la culture populaire. En ce sens le colloque se veut l’occasion d’étudier des problèmes clés, en identifiant en deux sessions respectives deux domaines thématiques et de dialogue méthodologique et historiographique : images et transmission du sacré ; savoirs-pouvoirs-représentations.

Bringing monuments to life

Staging, spaces and audiences

Dans une visée scientifique et socio-professionnelle, ce colloque vise à comprendre comment se redéfinissent les rapports entre les lieux patrimoniaux et leurs publics, les logiques sociales et politiques de la culture à l’œuvre dans la médiation du monument en tant que patrimoine bâti. Nous souhaitons ainsi interroger ce qui fait vivre les monuments de patrimoine dans/à travers leurs mises en scène, leurs espaces qu’ils soient intérieurs/extérieurs mais aussi symboliques et imaginaires ; et enfin, leurs publics au travers de leurs appropriations, représentations, usages et pratiques du monument ou lieu de patrimoine. Cette rencontre sera l’occasion de renouveler et prolonger ces questionnements sous différents axes qui ne se veulent pas exhaustifs mais qui constituent des pistes de réflexions : mises en scène, espaces, publics.

Gaetano Salvemini (1873-1957) and France

The conference intends to propose an overall re-examination of Salvemini's relations with France, starting with those matured with some historians during the drafting phase of his volume on the French Revolution (1905, subsequently reissued several times with variants), passing through his relations with some important intellectuals and those gravitating around the figure of his second wife Fernande Dauriac, arriving at those with the world of Italian and European antifascist exile. Vast and significant, even if not always marked by sympathy and harmony of ideas, appear, moreover, the relations with exponents of the labor movement and with various personalities of the French socialist world. A separate chapter is, finally, represented by relations with the Giustizia e Libertà movement.

International Conference on Sexual Diversity Studies in Ibero-America: Desires, Spaces and Identities

Artistic-cultural practices, productions and epistemologies from the edges: voices and decolonial stakes of feminisms and sexual dissidences

This symposium aims to make visible, analyze and reflect on border cultural practices and productions. In the geographic and symbolic borders stand identities and resistances of those “othernesses” built by colonialism and by that “western conscience”. In a decolonizing effort on the object-subject in artistic-cultural production, feminisms and sexual dissidences in the Ibero-American and diasporic space transform “the personal into the political” through artivist practices and the appropriation of public and virtual space, proposals from performance, manifesto, street art, literature, weaving, scenic arts and music, among other forms of expression that deconstruct the hegemonic vision.

Reading and picking up texts. The excerption signs and their form, uses and purposes (6th-12th centuries)

By bringing together historians, philologists, paleographers and codicologists, this conference aims to reflect on a category of annotations visible in texts preserved in medieval Latin manuscripts through case studies: excerption marks or extraction marks. Isolating portions of texts for later re-use, these marks, composed of an initial and a final sign and written by readers, are indicative of the preparation of intellectual undertakings. The aim is to provide an initial overview of excerption practices (typology, uses, distribution, etc.) over several centuries (6th-12th c.).

Africanity on the move

Ce colloque tente de mettre en lumière de nouvelles lectures relatives au phénomène migratoire en Afrique, ses enjeux économique, socioculturel et politique en s’appuyant sur l'analyse des médias, la littérature, les documents historiques, le cinéma…. L’objectif est d’interroger la question migratoire dans toute sa complexité, ainsi que la vulnérabilité de la personne migrante, eu égard à sa stigmatisation et aux différentes visions dévalorisantes et/ou valorisantes à son sujet, des discours et des images qui demeurent polémiques et pourraient engendrer des dérapages et des glissements sémantiques, constituant ainsi l’objet d’étude de chercheurs appartenant à différents champs disciplinaires.

Empathy for the Evil

Social Science and the Empathy Dilemma

Attempts to understand actions we consider appalling raise many issues. Are we supposed to identify with perpetrators in order to provide an account of their behavior? By so doing, aren’t we exposed to the risk of undermining our deepest moral commitments? And what exactly does this identification consists in? Does it require that we empathize? Or must we find a way of exploiting our imaginative resources? These are major concerns, especially for social scientists investigating topics such as extremism, terrorism, domination etc. The aim of the conference is to examine these moral and epistemic issues and to scrutinize them in light of current theories of understanding. Accordingly, all papers addressing empathy, broadly construed, and questioning the endeavours to explain, in a way or another, acts we consider especially evil and despicable will be welcome.

The new lives of Greek divinities in Western Europe: Textual and visual figurations from the 14th to the 16th century

In his famous work, La survivance des dieux antiques, published in 1939, Jean Seznec demonstrated that knowledge of the Greek gods did not disappear during the Middle Ages, and thus challenged the opposition often drawn between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance: “Pagan antiquity, far from being ‘reborn’ in 15th-century Italy, survived in medieval culture and art; the gods themselves were not resurrected, for they had never disappeared from the memory and imagination of men. Based on case studies on one or more divinities, the workshops will be devoted to analyses of the multiplicity of representations, interpretations, and uses of these ancient divinities over the three centuries under consideration, by combining permanence and renewal, repetition and variation, continuity and innovation.

Writing history in the Maghreb (7th-20th centuries)

Authors, texts, manuscripts

Studies in Arab historiography generally focus on the Middle-East marginalizing the North African contribution, with the exception of Ibn Khaldūn. The aim is therefore to highlight the Maghreb intellectual production in offering researchers the opportunity to showcase authors and works of all kinds to renew the history of the Maghreb. The vast chronological framework aims to bring together medievalists, modernists and contemporaneists, all too often separated: while focusing on the intense medieval production, the symposium will be an opportunity to emphasize the continuities of these genres for the modern period and the colonial period, sources which are either understudied or only through French-language sources.

Expressing extreme violence: Translations, Verbalisations and Figures of Silence

The aim of this conference is to shed new light on the study of extreme violence in the 20th century, particularly from a gender perspective, and to discuss our conceptual tools collectively. The conference will study testimonies of extreme violence (colonial violence, gender-based violence, disappearances, torture, mass deaths and genocide) from a multidisciplinary and multilingual perspective. The aim is to examine the conditions which allow words to emerge as well as their corollary, a framework for listening, so that they become audible in a given period and social sphere. The paradox of experiences that are both intimate and collective, unspeakable and yet spoken, taboo and widely documented, is at the core of such reflections.

Artificial Intelligence and Language and Culture Teaching and Learning

The democratization of ChatGPT and Artificial Intelligence (from now on AI) software that generates images (Stable Diffusion, Imagen, MidJourney and Dall-E 2), videos (Renderforest, Lumen5 and Moovly), music (MusicLM, Moises) and translations (DeepL) raises questions, in the field of language and culture pedagogy, about teaching and learning practices that have already been transformed by digital technology (design of language teaching material, automation of assessments, digital literacies, etc.). Specific tools for teaching practices and resources are also designed based on AI (Magicschool.ai). This call for papers aims to question such uses both for teaching and learning language, and for pedagogical design and training in the field of language pedagogy.

Theater Practices for Foreign Language Learning in higher education

Feedback and Theoretical Perspectives, between Body and Text

This One-Day Conference will bring together feedback from projects and presentations of research about the use of theatrical practices in the teaching and learning of a foreign language (in particular English EFL, French and Spanish) in higher and university education. The focus will be on the link with the bodily dimensions of expression in a foreign language, and on the choice of texts and verbal materials.

Conference, symposium - Information

Culture in a digital context

Questioning practices, categories and methods

The digital transformation has allowed for works to be digitized and shared on the website of cultural institutions (museums, theaters, libraries, etc.). It has also increased the range of online offerings, which grew exponentially during the recent health crisis. Therefore, is it accurate to call both those who frequent cultural institutions in person and those who consult their offerings online as “audiences”? Attempts to define cultural contents that are marked by hybridization processes and the blurring of levels of legitimacy makes it difficult to identify what is a cultural practice, an informational practice, entertainment or a form of sociability, and thus further complicates this issue. How can we define what constitutes a digital cultural practice?
