Surrealism and the Americas: new historiographical perspectives

Thematic workshop of the bi-annual Congress of the Institut des Amériques

As we celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the first Surrealist Manifesto (1924), it is in fact appropriate to revisit this long historiographical tradition that considers this collective adventure as an exclusively French (if not Parisian) one, of the interwar period, centered around the charismatic figure of André Breton. By example of the Americas, we wish to propose a new theoretical definition of the movement in favour of its specific variations and manifestations in order to better question the very notions of centre, periphery, heritage or descendance and, in this way, bring to light the new actors of global Surrealism.

Carthusians and Images. New Perspectives on Reli- gious Art and Devotional Culture in the Late Me- dieval and Early Modern Charterhouse

Dans le cadre de cette conférence, nous souhaitons explorer plus avant de nouvelles pistes de recherche et ouvrir de nouvelles voies afin de mieux cerner le rôle des œuvres d’art et des images dans les chartreuses européennes.

Langage and (Mis)information

VocUM 2024

This international conference dedicated to language aims to provide a platform for young researchers to display their findings and foster meaningful discussions across diverse disciplines. The term "information" stems from the Latin formare, whose original meaning roughly translates into the verb “to shape.” It implies in its essence the process of shaping an idea, a representation or a concept. This edition of the conference constitutes an opportunity to examine the different facets of information and disinformation, from transmission to reception, and at every stage in between.

Migrations from Turkey in France: Interdisciplinary State of Research and Comparative Perspectives

The objective of this symposium is to strengthen interdisciplinary dialogue on migrations from Turkey to France and to reinforce an international network of researchers working on this subject. The aim is to highlight research on major issues such as the transformations of Turkish political Islam, the politicization of the diaspora, new forms of exile, elite migrations, and the intergenerational perpetuation of transnational and gendered practices. A comparative perspective will open a dialogue with the situation of migrations from Turkey in the North and the South (particularly in Africa). Young researchers are particularly encouraged to present their current theses and the most recent research works. The conference will also aim to establish a dialogue between the academic world and literary and artistic expressions related to migrations from Turkey.

« Au creux du souvenir… trois petites notes de musique »

A Tribute to Georges Delerue (1925-1992)

2025 will mark the 100th anniversary of Georges Delerue’s birth. Hosted by the University of Evry, this international conference pays tribute to one of the most prolific composers of French cinema, who won three César awards for his scores to Préparez vos mouchoirs (Bertrand Blier, 1978), L’Amour en fuite (François Truffaut, 1979) and Le Dernier Métro (Truffaut, 1980). Despite the existence of a few biographies, the musician is still little represented in academic literature. The conference aims to reflect on existing research on the composer and to lay new foundations for the study of his work.

Spaces of Confinement: Memories of Repression and Coloniality

À l’occasion du 88^e anniversaire de l’ouverture du camp de concentration colonial de Tarrafal, dans l’archipel du Cap-Vert (29 Octobre 1936 – 29 Octobre 2024), ce colloque international vise à élargir le débat sur les pratiques anciennes et nouvelles de l’enfermement, dans leurs multiples déclinaisons et modalités. D’une part, il s’agit d’aborder la forme camp dans une perspective historique ainsi que les différentes pratiques de l’incarcération coloniale. D’autre part, l’intention de ce colloque est de réfléchir de manière large et transdisciplinaire sur les espaces, les mémoires, les récits et les expériences de détention, et sur la manière dont leurs héritages marquent la généalogie des pratiques contemporaines d’enfermement.

Ethnic and Religious Minorities and their Media in the English-speaking world

This one-day conference, organized by GRER-ICT Les Europes dans le monde (UR 337, Université Paris Cité) and IHRIM (Université Clermont Auvergne) is dedicated to illuminating a crucial yet underexplored area: the media (written press, radio, television, internet, etc.) of ethnic and/or religious minorities in Great Britain, the United States, South Africa, and other English-speaking countries. These minority media, operating on the fringes of the dominant mainstream media, are not just a significant platform, but also an essential lifeline for the ethnic and/or religious minorities they represent.

Discoveries and Dialogues: Online Exchanges in Foreign Language Learning

The objective of this study day is to bring together experts in language teaching and learning to analyze the role of online interactions and exchanges in language learning. Foreign language learning has long been thought to be unique in the field of education, because of its inherently social nature ; indeed, mastering a language requires using it for communication.

Detours through the works of Jane Austen

This comparative literature conference devoted to Jane Austen will be an opportunity to undertake further excursions into the work of the famous novelist. Papers may draw parallels between Austen's novels and those of other authors from the long nineteenth century, take an interest in characters left out of the story, propose counterpoints for reading and analysis or even venture into the counter-fields of the work, in an attempt to understand what continues to fuel Austenmania today.

Gender/s and Sexuality/ies in the History of Western Philosophy

From a historical standpoint, one would like to question various philosophical discourses about gender and sexuality, in order to analyze and enlighten their specific conceptuality. We encourage contributions of specialists in Ancient, Modern and Contemporary Philosophy, questioning the way in which the concepts of sex or gender fit or resist to the larger doctrine in which they appear. From a critical standpoint, one would like to question the ideological power of these discourses: the way in which they do not only relay historical prejudices, but contribute to form and justify common beliefs about gender which still inform our actual ways of thinking about it. In this sense, we encourage contributions that intend to start from the critical tradition (social or poststructuralist, feminist or ecofeminist), in order to reconsider particular philosophical works, from the most famous ones to the less known texts in the history of western philosophy.

Discourses, Realities and Representations of Defiance

Literatures, Cultures and Civilisations of the Anglo-Saxon World, Commonwealth and BRICS countries

The conference theme, understanding defiance in the Anglo-Saxon world, Commonwealth, and BRICS countries, is of significant importance in the field of humanities and social sciences. We aim to identify, at various points in their histories, how defiance is constructed and understood in the sense of 'challenge' that the French word défiance shares with the English noun defiance - which appeared in the early 14th century under the influence of the French word desfiance. Your research and insights will contribute to our collective understanding of this crucial aspect. This conference is part of the debate opened up by Nancy Nyquist Potter (2016) in her introduction to her eulogy of defiance.

Disunions. Church-initiated separation of couples in the Catholic world (12th c. - 21st c.)

"What God has joined together, let no one separate" (Mk 10:2-16). In certain circumstances, the Catholic Church may however exercise this right, usually at the request of one of the spouses, but sometimes on its own initiative. Although canon law does not recognize divorce, since the Middle Ages representatives of the Church have endeavored to bring about the separation of certain couples. All these unions have been considered by the Church to be in contradiction to canon law, ecclesiastical discipline, the definition of Christian marriage or Christian morality. Recent scholarship has enabled us to gain a better understanding of matrimonial separations initiated by the spouses in the Middle Ages and the Modern period. The objective of this workshop is to tackle a rarer case, one that has scarcely been addressed by historians to date: that of separations initiated by the Church.

Perception and practice of health among the Akan people

This transdisciplinary conference aims to analyse traditional and modern health perceptions, practices and knowledge among the Akan. Each contribution, whether the fruit of in-depth analysis, personal experience of health, or an academic perspective, will contribute to the 'glocalization' of understanding of the health system and practices in the Akan world.

Creativity and Teaching in the Age of Chatbots

Il est indéniable que les nouvelles technologies ont apporté des changements profonds dans tous les domaines de la société, y compris l’enseignement. Les nouvelles approches pédagogiques, telles que l’apprentissage personnalisé et adaptatif, l’utilisation de la réalité virtuelle et augmentée, ou encore l’intégration des chatbots et des assistants intelligents, offrent de nouvelles possibilités pour rendre l’enseignement plus attractif et efficace. Cependant, il est important de s’interroger sur la manière dont ces nouvelles technologies peuvent être intégrées de manière pertinente dans les méthodologies de recherche académiques. Comment garantir la validité et la fiabilité des données collectées grâce à ces outils ? Comment mesurer l’impact réel de ces nouvelles approches sur l’apprentissage des étudiants ? Que doit-on changer du côté de l’enseignant et du côté des régimes d’études ?

Dealing with the Aftermath of Violence: Institutions and Players in the 20th and 21st centuries

Héros, martyrs, anciens combattants, bourreaux, criminels, victimes, blessés, mutilés, disparus, morts, endeuillés - femmes, hommes et enfants. Telles sont les figures qui naissent ou peuvent naître de l’« expérience paroxystique de violence » (C. Ingrao, Le soleil noir du paroxysme…). Loin de former des catégories pré-établies, ces attributions se trouvent au contraire sans cesse redéfinies par les individus qui s’en revendiquent – ou pas – comme par les institutions qui les décernent – ou non. Comment ces dernières prennent-elles alors en charge ces acteurs sociaux singuliers dans le temps plus ou moins long des « sorties de guerre » (B. Cabanes, G. Piketty, Retour à l’intime…), ou plus largement des « sortie[s] de la violence » (M. Wieviorka, « Sortir de la violence ») ?

International Conference on Constructed Languages (2024)

The International Conference on Constructed Languages (I-CONLANG II, 2024) offers a forum dedicated to multidisciplinary research on constructed languages. The study of constructed languages is the site of a proliferation of ideas and innovations in the linguistic field, which challenge the human ability to provide new forms of linguistic expression, for wide-ranging purposes. This phenomenon is not only relevant in linguistics, but in many other disciplines in the human sciences, as well as in the arts and letters, and this extends far beyond academic circles. The creation of a constructed language may have various purposes, but their study reveals a common set of questions, which the Conference intends to address.

The Sound of Amateur Cinema

Ce colloque porte sur les pratiques sonores liées au cinéma amateur. Celui-ci est généralement considéré comme muet jusqu'à l’apparition de caméras sonores accessibles aux amateurs. Pourtant, de nombreuses sources attestent, dès les années 1930, d’une pratique de l’enregistrement sonore à des fins de sonorisation, et des enregistrements existent. L’arrivée du magnétophone à bande a contribué à diffuser plus largement l’usage du son enregistré dans le cinéma amateur. Le son associé au cinéma amateur reste toutefois très peu étudié, autant à l’université que dans les cinémathèques et centres d'archives. Ce colloque fait le point sur le sujet, en conciliant les approches techniques, culturelles et archivistiques, afin de faire se rencontrer universitaires, archivistes, techniciens, et cinéastes amateurs.

Women and the Liberation in Metropolitan France and the Empire, 1944-1946

Organized by the Conseil scientifique et d'orientation de la Mission du 80ème anniversaire de la Libération, this conference focuses on the two or three years that make up the "moment" of the Liberation, from 1944 to 1946. Its aim is to examine the transformations that took place in women's lives and gender relations - in combat, in political life in the broadest sense and in their activities - in metropolitan France and the Empire. This international meeting will both review the current state of knowledge and highlight new aspects.
