Les noms propres : intraduits ou intraduisibles ?

Troisième rencontre des jeunes chercheurs sur les intraduisibles de l’Antiquité

La présente journée d’étude vise à questionner l’intraductibilité des noms propres de la Méditerranée ancienne. Il sera question notamment d’évaluer les apports de l’anthropologie et de l’histoire dans l’analyse de la dynamique entre nom propre et idionyme(s) : d’un côté, le nom propre, conçu comme une entité abstraite, recouvre plusieurs catégories, telles que : l’anthroponyme, le théonyme, l’ethnonyme, le toponyme, l’ergonyme, etc. ; de l’autre côté, l’idionyme correspond au nom propre tel qu’il est porté par un individu, une divinité, un lieu, etc., ancré dans son contexte historique, régional, social, culturel et familial. Au-delà de l’interprétation et de la compréhension linguistiques des noms, il est nécessaire d’étudier le contexte d’appartenance de chaque idionyme. C’est sur ce point que la démarche anthropologique trouve toute sa pertinence.

Europeanisations from the Bottom and from the Margins

Actors, Representations, and Experiences (late 19th-early 21st centuries)

Ce colloque international poursuit l’ambition de prolonger les réflexions sur les européanisations en réunissant des contributions mobilisant principalement deux approches : l’histoire par le bas et par les marges. L’histoire par le bas vise à encourager une étude de la notion d’Europe au-delà d’un phénomène géopolitique mettant en scène des institutions étatiques et paraétatiques, mais plus largement comme un espace social, politique, culturel et économique en construction et un cadre de référence touchant tous les acteurs et actrices de la société. À cette histoire par le bas s’ajoute la notion des marges de l’Europe, ici principalement envisagées comme des marges temporelles et géographiques. Nous nous intéresserons donc aux mécanismes à l’œuvre sur le temps long (XIX^e et XX^e siècles) et en particulier dans des pays ou régions à la périphérie de l’Union européenne, jusqu’alors peu considérés dans l’étude de la construction européenne, à l’image de la Suisse, de la Finlande, des pays balkaniques et de l’Ukraine.

Women poets and the canon

IV International Conference “Female Creations in Literary and Intercultural Education” (CICELI)

In this fourth edition of the CICELI conference, we are paying special attention to women poets, their work and their controversial relationship with the canon, celebrating two fundamental milestones: the 90th anniversary of the groundbreaking inclusion of two Spanish women poets (Ernestina de Champourcin and Josefina de la Torre) in Gerardo Diego’s anthology Poesía Española (1934) and the 70th anniversary of the publication of Carmen Conde’s anthology Poesía femenina española viviente (1954).

European war ruins and their uses (19th-21st century)

Today, the terrible sight of the destruction in Ukraine awakens memories throughout Europe of the war landscapes of earlier conflicts, from the Napoleonic Wars to the war in former Yugoslavia. The aim of the conference is to explore the relationship that post-war societies have with the vestiges of conflict and the marks of war violence. Through the political, social, economic, cultural and memorial uses of these particular vestiges, the relationship with a traumatic past will be explored.

Dante’s Globalization II: Non-European Areas

The conference The Globalization of Dante II is the continuation of various events and publications, and in particular of the conference The Globalization of Dante I, devoted to Europe. The overall objective of the project is to create a multi-level cartography of the reception of Dante's work in the contemporary world, starting from the nineteenth century, focusing in particular on: the expansion of the geographical spaces of reception; widening reception methods; and, as the final objective of the project, the creation of cartographic tools that will provide an overall vision of the globalization of Dante.

Activism within internationalist networks

A global history from below

The aim of this conference is to redefine internationalism through its networks and militant practices, working from the macro and micro scales to inscribe it in an extra-European perspective. This prerequisite allows for a recognition of the dialogue between a global history and a “bottom-up” approach. These two approaches contribute to the revival of prosopography and to the redefinition of the hermeneutical challenges of biographical work, particularly when they are grounded in the experience and phenomenology of activist practices, and their geographical and sociological spatialisation. Gender dynamics, Subaltern studies, the Alltagsgeschichte and solidarities will therefore be at the heart of this conference.

The constrained image

The place, form and function of iconography in the decorative and precious arts

The design of an objet d'art is marked by the constant search for a balance between functionality and materiality, structure and decoration. Its initial utilitarian dimension - which is its raison d'être - proves to be a limiting factor, as the symbolic discourse that we wish to attribute to it, developed through iconography and ornamentation, comes up against the technical realities of its construction. At first glance, the visualisation of an iconographic theme is constrained by the shape of the object it adorns. Thought to be an impediment to creation, this form logically condemns the object to being no more than a conventional presence, a reference model endlessly repeated from one work to the next. The aim of this study day is to explore the place of iconography in the decorative and precious arts, insofar as it must conform to the structural imperatives of the object it decorates.

The Americans in the western Mediterranean (1942-1945)

Landings, liberation and the "pax americana"

The objective of this meeting is to refocus the history of landings and subsequent military liberation operations in the Western Mediterranean, between 1942 and 1945, from an American perspective. Indeed, from Operation Torch in North Africa to the landing in Provence in August 1944 and the final battles in Italy in the spring of 1945, the United States asserted their decisions over the British within the coalition. Furthermore, the arrival of thousands of American soldiers, coupled with the installation of dozens of military bases in North Africa, Italy, Southern France, and Corsica, was accompanied by the establishment of various administrative structures by the United States to ensure a return to order and to set up a kind of "Pax Americana" according to their own interests. The interactions of these soldiers with the local populations sometimes lead to tensions. The aim, from a comparative perspective, is to go beyond the simple military dimension and broaden the study of this theater of operations to include political, economic, social, and cultural fields.

Memory of the heritage in evolving and changing context and future challenges

The last several decades have witnessed that memory of heritage has been on top of scientific research, reflection and interpretation and has marked increase in research in relation to cultural heritage, memory and change, and to transformation within the field of heritage studies. It is considered to be the heritage of tangible and intangible heritage assets of a group or society that is inherited from past generations, which has been reconstructed in present to make it accessible and beneficial to new generations. Therefore, memory of heritage is an interdisciplinary instrument that plays a significant role in shaping a sense of identity and a source of inspiration for creativity and innovation, but it is also can be a reason of exclusion, or even hostage to political conflicts and ideological debates.

Arts and crafts & Design : Dialogues and Prospects

Art and crafts in discussion with design provide food for thought on the challenges facing these sectors today. Design can be a lever for thinking about the adaptation of arts and crafts in a changing ecosystem. It is then confronted with the problems faced by the crafts in terms of sustainability, durability, digitalisation and education, among others.This conference “Dialogues & Prospects, arts and crafts & design” aims to examine these two disciplines on the principle of convergence around the notion of creation, and based on the principle of cross-fertilisation of unique methods and our own thinking tools.

Research libraries in Rome (1860-1930): the origins of an exceptional documentary collection

Comment se sont constituées les collections documentaires exceptionnelles à l’étranger ? Quelle place cette histoire reflète-t-elle de la recherche en histoire, art et histoire de l’art dans l’histoire intellectuelle et culturelle de chacun des pays représentés, entre 1860 et 1930 ? Cette journée d’étude permet de poser le contexte des bibliothèques de recherche installées sur un territoire étranger et de s’intéresser en particulier aux premières décennies de leur fonctionnement, dans un arc chronologique assez large, des années 1830 aux lendemains de la Première Guerre mondiale.

War Losses and Naval Warfare (18th to 21st century)

Anticipating Naval Losses: Innovations & Prospects

« Si tu veux faire la guerre sur mer, prépare-toi aux pertes au combat », serait-on tenté d’écrire. Le temps nécessaire à la construction d’une unité comme celui requis pour former l’équipage chargé de l’armer implique d’anticiper la question des pertes sur mer. Quelles sont les ressources humaines, matérielles, intellectuelles et culturelles de l’anticipation ? Quels sont les acteurs chargés d’anticiper ces pertes et quelle est leur expérience des pertes vécues et/ou représentées ? Quelles sont les données utilisées pour anticiper les pertes ? Comment le « retex » (retour d’expérience) est-il pris en compte dans l’anticipation du combat et des pertes ? La question de l’anticipation implique également de réfléchir aux structures mobilisées pour recueillir le renseignement, échanger avec ses alliés et espionner ses adversaires de manière à comprendre la circulation des informations.

When science fiction changes the world...

12th Symposium Stella Incognita

Since no one knows the future, no one can claim to be an expert on it. Nevertheless, as we all project ourselves into the future, a narrative is inevitably constructed and even a number of multiple ones, in which all possible questions are intertwined. This call for papers therefore draws on a wide range of disciplines to intuitively envisage probable, plausible or possible futures (Voros, 2006) or those being significant in terms of what we are provided with to consider and live vicariously through. While other literatures of the imaginary (Fantasy, Fantastique) are based on a leap out of reality, In this call, we'd like to take a look at our relationship to changes in the world, which is more akin to science fiction, even though there are several definitions of the “science fiction” genre.

Communicating in wartime

Transatlantic letters in the 18th century

Letters has been the subject of numerous studies, but until now the influence of conflict on it has been little explored. The aim of this study day is to compare approaches to this theme, looking at both the material aspects and the specific communication strategies and changes in content in the face of this exceptional situation.Today we are fortunate enough to be able to access these intimate sources through various archives such as the Admiralty Archives at the National Archives in London. They shed new light, through intimate and personal accounts, on the adaptation of information exchanges between families and those involved in the colonial trade. The different facets of this adaptation will be explored over the course of the conference.

The native podcast: understanding its development, questioning its future

Ce colloque international a vocation à interroger la place du podcast en France et en Europe. Pourquoi, alors qu’il ne présente pas une innovation de rupture majeure et qu’il existe depuis longtemps, le podcast s’est-il récemment développé aussi rapidement et aussi fortement ? Comment expliquer les ressorts et les enjeux sociaux, économiques, technologiques de ce succès et de ses ambivalences ?
