  For a geography of territorial transitions?

  Conceptual frameworks, methodological challenges and critical perspectives

  Les territoires sont-ils des accélérateurs de la transition ? C’est ce que semblent suggérer les nombreuses réflexions actuelles sur les contributions du territoire - de ses acteurs, de ses proximités, de ses héritages, de ses ressources et de ses échelles -, aux transitions des modes d’habiter, de produire et de consommer, des systèmes de gouvernance et des rapports au vivant, etc. Mais quels sont les ressorts analytique, méthodologique et éthique de cet engouement territorial ? Traduit-il l’émergence d’une « géographie des transitions territoriales » ? Quels en seraient les contours, les caractéristiques et les visions de la transition véhiculées ? Avec quelle pertinence et quelles limites pour affronter l’urgence écologique et les enjeux de justice associés ?

  Grammatical and semantic determination: categorization, cognition, and acquisition

  The objective of this international workshop hosted by the Centre d’étude des relations et contacts linguistiques et littéraires (CERCLL) Research Team at the Université de Picardie Jules Verne is to examine the topic of determination from a variety of perspectives, particularly those of the cognitivist and functionalist schools. Special consideration will be given to the presence and absence of definite and indefinite articles. Among the possible research areas are, but not limited to the categorization and/or function of determiners, the absence of determiners in nominal reference, or to teaching and learning the expression of determination from a cross-linguistic perspective.

  (Re)thinking Africa’s image for the development of the continent

  Young African Scholars Symposium Saint-Louis (Senegal)

  This symposium, conceived and led by young African scholars, is part of an agenda for a revisionist perspective on Africa. It aims to engage debates inAfricanist intellectual circles around the revision of the image of the African continent in a planet marked by the race for development where the great powers are engaged in an asymmetrical promotion of their culture, which they implicitly bait the rest of the world with. We invite scholars from all disciplines to provide answers to these questions: How do we think about the image of Africa today? How can the African culture reflect the power of the continent? How does the image of women impact development? How to build Africa by/with its youth?

  Foreigners and National Minorities in Purifying Societies (Europe after 1945)

  Le principal objectif du colloque est de savoir si les étrangères et les étrangers ou, dans certains espaces, les membres de certaines minorités nationales, sont plus particulièrement visés par la « soif de justice » qui caractérise le « moment 1945 », perceptible partout en Europe (J. Horne). Le fait qu’ils soient étrangers multiplie d’ailleurs les risques, puisque tant les États d’origine que d’accueil – avec notamment la crainte de la 5^e colonne –, peuvent chercher à épurer les intéressés. Font-ils alors figure de boucs émissaires, dans la dynamique des travaux d’Alain Corbin ou de René Girard ? Le colloque interroge non seulement les étrangers dans des sociétés en épuration mais il fait aussi le pari des étrangers comme entrée pertinente pour analyser les sociétés européennes en épuration.

  Is a woman a reader like any other ?

  Gender and reception in contemporary fictions

  How are female readers of fiction represented in contemporary literature? If female readers have long been associated with a form of vulnerability linked to the topos of the dangers of reading on the one hand, and with an eroticized vision of reading on the other, it is clear that the contemporary age is making an effort to change these images. The rise of feminist thought, reflections on gender, and the pragmatic turn of reception theories are all new critical inheritances that twist the literary representation of women, and that change its female readers. Figures like these thus give us the singular opportunity of thinking reading practices through the lens of gender.

  Medioevo e femminismi

  In the wake of Madeline Caviness's seminal article, what assessment can be made of the fertile links between the Middle Ages and feminism? In its wake, the next issue of Perspectives médiévales invites us to take a fresh look at the reciprocal contributions of medievalism and feminism, as part of an epistemological and historical reflection on the Middle Ages and the present. The aim of this issue is to explore contemporary feminisms by exploring the Middle Ages and their representations. In other words, in what way is the Middle Ages an object of investigation both for feminist thought and by feminist thought?

  Uses, practices and functions of historical herbaria

  Au XVIII^e siècle, tandis que la botanique se développe et s’institutionnalise, les fonctions de l’herbier se diversifient. Instrument d’acquisition, d’enregistrement, d’échange et de diffusion des connaissances sur le règne végétal, l’herbier mérite d’être envisagé sous l’angle scientifique, aussi bien qu’artistique, économique et social. Le colloque « Usages, pratiques et fonctions des herbiers historiques » s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet de recherche « Héritages botaniques des Lumières : explorations de sources et d’herbiers historiques à l’intersection des lettres et des sciences » qu’une équipe de botanistes, historiens des sciences, historiens de la littérature et informaticiens mène à l’Université de Neuchâtel (Suisse) autour de Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778), Jean-Baptiste-Christophe Fusée-Aublet (1723-1778) et Jean-Frédéric Chaillet (1747-1839).

  Blood and Virtue. Nobility of Blood and Nobilities of Soul in the Middle Ages

  This conference will look at the theoretical debates surrounding the concept of nobility, its social repercussions and nobility of soul as a discriminating criterion, not only in the aristocratic social group but in the whole society. How does the ethical dimension associated with the notion of nobility help to justify its social pre-eminence? Do medieval authors agree or, on the contrary, oppose each other in resolving the contradiction between a moral quality and its hereditary transmission? How did these theoretical concepts translate into practice? Do they give rise to expectations or even social demands?

  The Boundaries of Work

  Defining the constituent elements of work in ancient societies is a challenge for historians, as they generally do not correspond to contemporary conceptions of the professional world, which are often ill-suited to the semantic richness and fluidity of the categories in use in the ancient and medieval worlds. For this tenth issue of Frontière·s, authors are therefore invited to identify and question the boundaries of work in protohistoric, ancient and medieval societies.

  Giacomo Puccini, 1924-2024 : Puccini et la France

  Centenaire de la disparition de Puccini

  One of the greatest masters of musical theatre of all time, Puccini met with immense popular success in France starting from the first performances of his operas, despite the recurring reservations of critics, who severely rejected his music and librettos that were often judged vulgar and irrelevant. The purpose of this conference is to examine the close links between Puccini and France, both through the works themselves and their reception, from his lifetime to the present day. The papers, cultivating an interdisciplinary perspective, will focus on staging, musical dramaturgy, the production systems, as well as on the literary and musical sources and forms of Puccini’s operas, insofar as these are linked to France.

  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.

  Métaphores de la guerre

  War Metaphors

  Le débat toujours croissant sur la question de savoir si la propension à la guerre est une caractéristique innée des êtres humains ou, au contraire, une construction sociopolitique et un phénomène culturel, a suscité plus de partisans des deux camps que de réponses exclusives. Ce numéro de la Revue de philologie et de communication interculturelle s’intéressera à la guerre à travers les croyances, les métaphores et les termes qui lui sont associés. Les propositions pourront traiter de ces sujets à travers la littérature, les arts visuels, les études culturelles, les études sur le genre et l’identité, la philosophie, l’anthropologie, la linguistique ou encore l’acquisition des langues.
