  Levantine Sociabilities in Europe in Giacomo Casanova’s time

  Spies, Impostors, Courtesans and Men of Culture

  This conference will encourage discussions and exchanges between international scholars on how national models of sociability and traditional Enlightenment values may have been affected and reconfigured by the Levantine practices of intrigue, libertinage and criminality. Through the multiple facets of Casanova (trickster, libertine, social climber, gambler, political agent...) and his European travels and networks, this conference will also address the circulation of knowledge and fashions between Europe and the East and the evolution of sociability thanks to various media: commerce, diplomacy, travel, letter- writing, translation, leisure and other sociable practices.

  Cinematerialisms

  New Materialist Approaches to the Audiovisual (Cinema, Media, Digital Arts)

  The goal of this conference is to investigate the contemporary reconfigurations of the notion of materialism within the disciplines of the arts and of audiovisual cultures. Is it possible to locate a common or core base of materialist practices, methods, or objects of study in these disciplines, or must we accept the plurality of meanings associated with this theoretical axis? To what degree is it productive to distinguish between the terms material, materiality, materiological, etc.? Beyond these terminological questions, we intend to interrogate the points of articulation between reflections on the materiality of audiovisual works and the materialist analysis of their processes of production and reception.

  Tomi Ungerer, saute-frontières (1931-2019) : langage des images, langage de l’enfance

  Tomi Ungerer, border hopper (1931-2019) : Languages, images and childhood

  Alsacien, français, allemand, anglais (des États-Unis à l’Irlande)… Tomi Ungerer est un « saute-frontières », selon sa propre expression : il a grandi entre plusieurs langues, passant souvent de l’une à l’autre, il a franchi les frontières des publics et des conventions. Ce collectionneur passionné de jouets a révolutionné le langage de l’image et de l’enfance, en offrant des albums audacieux et dérangeants aux enfants du monde et aux adultes qui les accompagnent. Pour rendre hommage à une œuvre décidément vivante et actuelle, ce colloque réunira des chercheurs, des artistes, et des professionnels du livre pour explorer l’esprit et le style de cet immense artiste.

  Dreaming Things

  Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Object Worlds and Dream Cultures

  While the close interconnection between the universe of things (expanding in a commodity-shaped way), the dream and its reflection in arts and media may be considered a founding trope of European modernity around 1900, the extension of our focus on pre-modern contexts and transcultural constellations in the present opens up new perspectives on connections between object cultures and dream cultures.

  Controversies over Methods in European Union law

  This series of seminars aims at providing an overview of different methods in European Union law, both old and new, both mainstream and not, by putting them in perspective with each other and by questioning their underlying assumptions. In order to do so, participants are expected to engage in a reflexive exercise that will make their methods and their position in the controversy explicit: What methods do they use and what do these methods imply? With whom and against whom do they think European Union law? Do they find it useful to exhume an author that in their view has been unduly neglected or, on the contrary, to call for new approaches to understand EU law?

  Displaying the social history of migrants: content, scenography, public engagement

  This conference addresses issues of display and reception, in a museum context, of social history in general and the social history of migrations in particular. The objective is to identify and discuss practices that can best carry across historical contents and reach a broad audience. What are the most suitable approaches to make visitors understand, feel, and project themselves into, the social life of working-class and migrant families of the past? What are the risks associated with the conception and mediation of migration history contents? How should that history be told in order to convey the diversity and inclusivity of historiographical narratives? In what way can people from working-class and migrant backgrounds be included in the exhibition process itself?
