  Fantasies of France: Exploring Transatlantic Misunderstandings from the 18th Century to the Present Days

  This one-day symposium for PhD students and early-career researchers aims to reflect on the French fantasies of North American authors and, conversely, on the North American fantasies of their French receptors and intermediaries. Participants are encouraged to think about the ways in which misunderstandings shaped the transatlantic literary relations which developed between North America and France from the 18th century up to the present days. The symposium hopes to foster discussions about these misunderstandings along three lines of investigation : that of literary criticism, with a focus on the emergence of a ‘fantasy of France’ in the works of North American authors (and on the disenchantments and surprises that go hand in hand with fantasies) ; that of the French reception of these same writers ; and, finally, that of translation.

  At the heart of the transnational allophone press

  Production, financing, distribution, circulation and reception (XIX°-XX° centuries)

  Long ignored by specialists, the foreign-language press exists in most countries at the margins of the global media system. In some countries, especially in those that attract large flows of immigrants, exiles and expatriates, these periodicals are numerous and of a great variety. For the 10^th Transfopress Encounter, we invite papers on the organization and functioning of the allophone press, its funding, its distribution, circulation and reception by its readres.

  After the Yalta by Piotrowski

  Questioning Europe in the History of Art and Architecture

  En 2009 paraissait la version anglaise de Yalta : Art et avant-garde en Europe de l'Est. Avec cet ouvrage de Piotr Piotrowski l’histoire de l’art de la seconde moitié du XXe siècle s’ouvrait sur un nouvel horizon géographique et franchissait le mur de Berlin. La parution récente de la version française aux Presses du Réel prolonge ces questionnements géographiques et rebat les cartes de la hiérarchie des acteurs dans l’histoire de l’art, de la transitivité des méthodes entre les périodes et des liens entre art et politique. La rencontre sera l'occasion de discuter avec le public de l’actualité de ces questions et de la réception de l’œuvre de Piotr Piotrowski (1952–2015) dans les historiographies de différentes langues.

  Circuits et matérialités de l’entraide à l’égard des diasporas religieuses dans l’Europe moderne (XVIIe-XVIIIe siècles)

  The materiality of giving. Networks and practices of solidarity towards religious diasporas in early modern Europe (17th-18th centuries)

  Qu´est-ce que donner, de son temps, de son argent ou de ses biens, veut dire, au XVII^e et au XVIII^e siècles, pour ceux qui aident les minorités religieuses, catholiques, protestantes et juives, en situation diasporique ? Dans les dispositifs de solidarité mis en place en Europe à cet effet, comment se déploient, concrètement, les circuits de l’entraide ? Du (très) local au transnational, du donneur au receveur, en passant par toute une gamme d´intermédiaires et d´instances de collecte, contrôle et redistribution des secours, comment et avec quoi recueillir, recenser, acheminer et dispenser l’ensemble des biens matériels ou des flux financiers ? C´est la question de la matérialité de l’entraide, de ses pratiques et de ses circuits destinés à alimenter une économie solidaire, non pas pensée comme universelle mais comme communautaire, que nous aimerions interroger ici.

  Making Ecocinema. Ecological Politics and Processes of Experimental Cinema

  The hypothesis of this two-day conference is to investigate the fabrication of experimental film from the perspective of an “active ecology”, the ways of acting and transforming the world that accompany experimental filmmakers’ creative gestures : political and social ecologies, ecologies of technique, and processual ecology. The question could therefore be summarized in dialectical form : in what way does the awakening of an ecological consciousness affect and transform the experiences and processes of experimental film making ? In turn, in what way do experimental and artisanal approaches to cinematic creation reshape our relationship with the living and call for a new ecological consciousness ? Ecopolitics and creative processes will therefore be explored in their multiple interweavings.

  Symbioses, transdisciplinary prospects

  The study of the interdisciplinary notion of symbiosis has become a subject of reflection on biological identity, its becoming within the symbiotic relationship with an associated environment (biotic, abiotic, social) and on the nature and diversity of symbiotic relationships. Using transdisciplinarity as a method, the idea is therefore to reflect, across different disciplines, on the definitions of symbioses in living organisms and their heuristic, symbolic and even metaphorical dimensions and on the nature and temporality of symbiotic relationships between living organisms, including with our germs.

  IT in Heritage

  Digital for Heritage and Heritage of Digital

  The new digital devices that heritage has gradually taken hold of are numerous. The possibilities offered by artificial intelligence aided by open data, semantic web, virtual reality, retro engineering, etc. are vast. They give rise to exciting research projects. But digital technologies are not only at the service of heritage, they are themselves a heritage. In this context, we propose the first edition of the IT in Heritage seminar. Beyond a state of the art of relations between heritage and digital technologies, it will bring together researchers from the Humanities and Computer Sciences working on these themes to offer them a space and time for exchange.

  Drawing from Memories

  The memorization of space, explored individually or collectively, is often studied through drawings. The act of drawing is an externalization process that involves cognitive and heuristic aspects of the mental map. More generally, it requires specific thinking skills and creativity. Everyone, to varying degrees, is likely to use drawings, not only for the purpose of recollection, but also for exploration and communication. Spatial cognition and geography have long used this simple process which is widely shared and easy to set up. If individual memorization processes are investigated in numerous studies, only few of them focused on the processes and strategies that underlie the act of drawing, especially with several people.

  Le retour des choses : objets, archives et création en temps de restitution

  This workshops in Cameroon propose to approach restitution through the prism of returns, i.e. to decentralize: from the countries where the objects were held to the countries and communities of origin; from Western viewpoints to African opinions; from the “works” exhibited in European museums to the resocialization of the returned “things”, recharged with multiple meanings; from the materiality of the objects to archival images and to contemporary creations. How is the possible return of objects perceived? What imaginations and expectations does it awaken? What would be the values of the returned things?

  Ethics of Information and Knowledge Organization

  Cette conférence souhaite mettre l’accent sur les caractéristiques et les approches théoriques qui peuvent construire un modèle méthodologique et efficace pour examiner l’éthique et mettre en évidence les différentes questions récurrentes liées aux dimensions éthiques du traitement et de l’organisation de l’information. La conférence abordera également les questions éthiques des décisions biaisées produites par l’apprentissage automatique à partir de big data. Deux domaines principaux ont été identifiés : la transparence des algorithmes pour les rendre explicables et la gestion de la qualité des données pour nettoyer les données afin d’améliorer le résultat des opérations de traitement.

  On Asceticism: Crossing Traditions, New Perspectives

  L’idée du colloque est de réunir des spécialistes issus de divers horizons disciplinaires, culturels et de genres, pour discuter de l’ascétisme. Au lieu de se concentrer sur l’évolution linéaire de certaines traditions ascétiques dans la philosophie occidentale, l’objectif est de souligner la multiplicité et la mutabilité de l’ascétisme au sein et au-delà des traditions occidentales. Outre les débats philosophiques et religieux de longue date sur l’ascétisme, nous accueillerons également des articles qui traitent de l’ascétisme dans un contexte contemporain, tel que la création et la critique artistiques, la santé et le bien-être, ou l’engagement dans les problèmes urgents de l’environnement.

  La fabrique transculturelle du vivant

  The study of transculturality in Hemingway’s work, as proposed in this international conference, has a triple dimension: experiential, transtextual and intersubjective. Hemingway’s practice of transculturality was inspired by his passion for nature and the unconstrained possibilities of receiving and transmitting knowledge that the focus on nature as a universal good makes possible.

  Communication dynamics, ecological mobilizations and contemporary citizen participation

  The call for papers focuses on the repertoires of contemporary mobilization on ecology and the environment. This range includes info-communication (media, internet, social networks), educational, legal (including lobbying and advocacy), artistic, scientific, etc. Consensual forms coexist with more conflictual or radical forms, this radicality sometimes undermining environmental concertation efforts. We are also interested in the types of scientific and professional commitment that lead to particular forms of activism, sometimes assumed, sometimes questioned or denied (committed scientists, lawyers, architects, craftsmen, etc.). Finally, this colloquium intends to explore citizen participation in ecology, which, carrying an ethos and a singular organization, brings out knowledge, information and expertise that feed the public debate.

  In the shadow of the superpowers? Revisiting the relations between Cuba and Europe (20th century)

  Les liens et les processus de médiation entre Cuba et une grande partie de l’Europe au cours du XX^e siècle n'ont pas fait l’objet d'une analyse détaillée, en bonne partie car ils ont été éclipsés par les dynamiques de la Guerre froide et la longue histoire des influences exercées sur l’île tant par les États-Unis que par l’URSS. Nous nous proposons d'examiner ces « rapports oubliés » sur une période historique étendue qui, contrairement à l’écrasante majorité des travaux sur Cuba, ne divise pas la chronologie entre un avant et un après la victoire castriste de 1959. Ce cadre chronologique étendu a pour objectif de nous permettre de mettre en lumière les continuités et les ruptures des liens entre Cuba et l’Europe avant et après le renversement du dictateur Fulgencio Batista, nous incitant à réfléchir sur le « caractère fondateur » de la rupture de l’année 1959.

  Contesting national borders today and tomorrow

  Actors, discourses, practices, proposals

  Étroitement liées à l’existence des États-nations, les frontières sont à la fois des marqueurs de souveraineté et d’identités, et des lignes imaginaires. Cependant, les tracés ne sont pas toujours perçus comme justes : imposés, négociés, issus de traités, ils résultent de « rapports de forces », de politiques coloniales, d’orientations idéologiques. À travers une approche empirique, ce colloque international cherchera à étudier la contestation des frontières non seulement à travers le prisme du pouvoir politique mais en privilégiant l’analyse des logiques et des stratégies des acteurs non étatiques, de leurs discours et revendications, des modalités d’organisation et de mobilisation.
