Technology, culture and society: rethinking the relationship with oneself and the collective in a digital environment

Les énoncés identitaires ne cessent d’occuper une place importante dans le champ des études linguistiques dans la mesure où ils constituent, d’une part, le lieu privilégié où jaillissent les représentations collectives, et ils remplissent des fonctions sociales et culturelles diverses dans la vie quotidienne, d’autre part. L’objectif pivot de notre recherche consiste, donc, à détecter le volet culturel et identitaire dans une communication numérique.

Seminar - Ethnology, anthropology

From tubers to rice, from barley to wheat. Cultural and Food Transitions

Séminaire d’anthropologie diachronique

Le thème « Des tubercules au riz, de l’orge au blé... Transitions culturales et alimentaires », est abordé dans une double approche ethnologique/anthropologique et archéologique et dans une dimension diachronique et comparative, c’est-à-dire à la fois spatiale et temporelle. À partir d’exemples ethnographiques, historiques et archéologiques, on tentera de cerner contextes et raisons du changement cultural survenu dans des aires culturelles et/ou historiques marquées jadis par la chasse-collecte ou l’horticulture délaissées au profit de l’agriculture et de l’élevage et surtout, dans des régions et sociétés longtemps caractérisées par la mise en culture et la consommation d’un tubercule ou d’une céréale particulière dominante, les raisons de l’abandon de celui-ci ou de celle-ci au profit d’une plante importée.

Cultural and Creative Industries in Africa and the Arab World

The main objective of this first edition of the International Conference on Cultural Engineering and Heritage Development is to approach the Cultural and Creative Industries (CCI) in African and Arab contexts and their evolution in the era of postmodernism; era that is characterized by focus on knowledge, intangibility and digitalization. While the core of CCIs remains in works of art, artistic expressions, cultural heritage, and traditional know-how, the production and reproduction models of art and culture have continued to reinvent themselves, as is the case with those of creation. Thus, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the main themes of this conference focus on the complexity of CCIs in Africa and the Arab world, their specificities, and the issues their development generates.

Bloody Politics: How Princes of the House of France Shaped Political Life (1661-1848)

Quel fut le rôle politique joué par les princes et princesses du sang en France entre le retour en grâce du prince de Condé en 1661 et la fin de la monarchie (1848) ? Telle est la question centrale posée par ce colloque international qui propose de faire le point des apports historiographiques récents et des chantiers en cours sur la question. Au-delà d’une étude de la France d’Ancien Régime, nous désirons par ce colloque ouvrir des perspectives comparatives. Quelles spécificités le règlement de la succession au trône de France et le statut de princes du sang en résultant entraînèrent-ils pour les idées et pratiques politiques ? D’autres conceptions de la place des membres de la famille royale mènent-elles à d’autres configurations politiques et sociales ? Nous désirons comparer la place et les activités des princes et princesses du sang dans l’Ancien Régime français avec celles de la première moitié du XIX^e siècle et leurs équivalents dans d’autres États.

Writing German Colonial History Today. Renewed Issues and Perspectives

What are the new issues and perspectives of writing German colonial history today? This conference attempts to provide an overview of the latest works on German colonialism after more than two decades of research upon that subject. It focuses on four major topics, which are at the core of recent historiographical debates: transimperial connections, the agency of indigenous actors, the extent of German imperialism and postcolonial Germany.

The City and Housing

The Problem of Urban Extensions & Informal Housing

Studies on informal housing are often fragmented, limiting the overall understanding of the issue. Beyond housing precariousness, informal housing encompasses a complexity of aspects influenced by various economic, social, and political factors, with a perspective often focused on Southern countries. A multidisciplinary approach is necessary to fully grasp these dynamics and formulate inclusive urban policies adapted to all societies.

What counting means in an imperial and colonial situation

This conference intends to open in new ways the file of accounting and statistical approaches produced in imperial and colonial context (thematic maps, surveys, statistical series etc.) to extract all the information that they are likely to provide on societies and situations that they are supposed to illuminate. Taking into account the numerous historiographical findings, the critiques of the different numerical elements used, their racialist and normative aims, it is as much a question of being interested in the conditions of their production, whether they are visible (investigators) or invisible (interpreters , village elites), than to analyze the reactions to their production, their distribution or to specify the expectations of the sponsors and the uses to which they give rise. The conference intends to encourage the crossing of the scales mobilized by the different supports of these accounting elements, starting from individuals and up to the relations between administrations or colonial companies and the Metropolis.

Quoting, editing, rewriting: reception and representation of fragmentary Latin poetry

The way in which our access to fully extant texts is mediated by subsequent reception is now well established. In the case of fragmentary works of Latin poetry, this mediation is even more direct and material: because we depend on secondary transmission for our access, the corpus of early Roman poetry is composed exclusively of the elements that ensured its reception (quotation, testimonia, etc.). It is often the case that studies of the reception of fragmentary authors tell us more about the later receiving authors and their aims than about the earlier authors and works to which they refer. This symposium is therefore less concerned with the content of Latin fragmentary poetry than with its literary and editorial development.

Anacyclose de l’exemple

The concept of exemplarity is of fundamental importance in Roman literary and historical culture. This conference aims to explore beyond the the rhetorical value of the exemples to question their epistemological and historiographical dimensions within the cultural and political landscape of ancient Rome. We will look at how an event or an individual becomes an exemplum, how that exemplum evolves to change its meaning, and above all, at what point it loses its epistemological value. By highlighting the long duration of examples, this approach aims to move away from a rhetorical study by focusing on the historical dimension of the example: how an event becomes the yardstick for studying and evaluating similar events, or how examples are used by different social actors, whether in support of or in opposition to power, to reinforce their actions or claims, particularly in times of crisis.

Partout et en tous temps ? Les lieux propices au harcèlement sexuel avant #metoo

Le projet AVISA, démarré en 2020, a pour objet d’écrire l’histoire du harcèlement sexuel en Occident sur la longue période. Ses membres se sont, dans un premier temps, interrogé sur les termes utilisés pour rendre compte de cet impensé du droit jusque dans les années 1980. Après l’interrogation de la figure du harceleur au début de l’année 2024, et donc du « qui » harcèle, ce colloque se posera donc la question du « où » et du « quand ». Poursuivant les travaux précédents, les communications sont invitées à envisager l’ensemble des lieux propices à ce type de comportements et à en dresser une cartographie sur la base de dénonciations et témoignages privés (archives, correspondances…) et publics (livres de conduite, presse) mais également à travers l’analyse d’œuvres littéraires, artistiques et médiatiques.

Considering the language(s) : power and limitations

GRAPHÉ, our junior research laboratory, will hold its first symposium. This symposium is open to junior as well as experienced researchers and mainly aims at understanding and analysing the ways in which language can be manipulated in contexts of power. It welcomes researchers from various disciplines and fields of study wishing to work on vastly different eras and places, so that the approaches may be diverse and echo one another in a fruitful discussion. As the laboratory also engages in an epistemological approach, the symposium will enable the participants to take part in a questioning of the means and methods available to researchers in order to perceive the tangibility of actions through language.

In Relation to Life

Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

La relationalité, en tant que concept et cadre théorique, est devenue une composante essentielle dans les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines. Son importance transversale se manifeste dans sa description comme un changement de paradigme dans les sciences, un tournant relationnel dans la philosophie et la théorie, et une nouvelle finalité de la politique. Ce colloque vise à établir des liens entre les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines en se concentrant sur les différentes façons dont ces dernières abordent et intègrent la relationalité biologique, comprise comme l'enchevêtrement des entités vivantes entre elles à différentes échelles (cellulaire, physiologique, multi-espèces, écosystémique, planétaire, etc.) et avec des entités non vivantes (polluants, machines, matière elle-même, etc.).

His verbis exprime luctum

Media, Style, and Uses of Funerary Poetry (9th-12th Cent.)

The passing of someone gives rise to a variety of written productions, especially poetic compositions: laments (planctus), epitaphs, and titles of mortuary rolls. At first sight, the distinctive feature of funerary poetry is thematic: death underpins its unity. Despite their discursive proximity, funerary poems distinguish themselves through the means of both formal (metrical, rhythmic poetry, or oral performance) and material criteria (codex, rotulus, stone). The aim of these sessions is to study poetic expressions of mourning in the light of their medium, their style and their usage. Our purpose is to question the notion of funerary poetry through the study of its various poetic manifestations, while pondering its production and reception: what are the precursory elements? What remains the same over the course of the following centuries? Why is it more appropriate to talk about a transformation or a clear break?

Otherness in Focus: The Conceptualisation of the Other in Contemporary Thought (Orient/Occident)

Set within an interdisciplinary perspective, this conference raises questions around otherness and its representations in contemporary thought between the Orient and the Occident. Studies devoted to the question of otherness and its corollaries – alienation, discrimination, inclusion and exclusion – are considerably important and their potential has nourished scientific reflexion and drawn extensive attention on the part of authors, sociologists, journalists, political scientists and ethnologists. Such representations of the image of the Other are shaped by imaginaries that feed partly upon the perceptions of the historical past, that of colonialism and imperialism, and partly from newly-born representations with the advent of this third millennium.

The intimate and the public

The face in 18th and 19th century public sculpture in France and in the German sphere

This study day devoted to sculpture will focus on one element in particular: the face. As an essential part of the sculpted figure, the face has the dual role of enabling identification and expression. This dual role became more apparent in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of portraiture, as well as the interest in the inner self and more broadly, the intimate. The aim of this exhibition is to draw a parallel between two contradictory concepts : the intimate and the public. As sculpture is the art par excellence of the public space, the aim is to confront the face, which is intimate, with the imperatives of public sculpture. The aim of this study day is to examine the representation of the face in Franco-German public sculpture in the 18th and 19th centuries, analysing its theories, practices, techniques, possible typologies and the way it is perceived by the viewer.

Pastoral Academies. A global Phenomenon?

At the intersection between literature and socio-cultural history, but also between methods, the comparative and the historical-philological approach, this conference offers an opportunity for the study traditions of several countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Poland, to come together around a relatively new research subject: the pastoral academy. Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, throughout Europe and even in Latin America, writers, poets and scholars, men and women, took on the names of shepherds in pastoral literary academies. While some of these academies are well known (the Accademia dell'Arcadia in Rome, the Pegnesische Blumenorden in Nuremberg), the phenomenon was on an unsuspected scale and deserves to be explored in its global dimension.
