Call for papers - Political studies

« Suite française », 8/2025

Too often confined in the perimeter of military studies, the concept of débâcle discloses a plurality of dramatic, iridescent, vivid meanings. Facing a defeat means participating in a collective trauma, questioning established certainties, redeeming national identity in the face of a moral and political challenge. Rather than reconstructing the episodes of defeat and rebirth in French history, the eighth call for papers of Suite française invites to reflect on the perception of such episodes and their disruptive psychological and political impact. How were débâcle and similar categories such as décadence, trauma, failure, and renascence used by thinkers witnessing the Terror, Sedan, Vichy, and Dien Bien Phu?

La voix du silence et le silence de la voix

Ce colloque international « La voix du silence et le silence de la voix » propose d’explorer la dualité et l’interconnexion entre la voix et le silence. Ces notions, bien que souvent perçues comme opposées, sont profondément imbriquées et sont fortement représentées dans divers domaines, tels que la communication verbale et non verbale, la littérature, les arts vivants, l’anthropologie, la sociolinguistique et bien d’autres. Le colloque invite les chercheurs de toutes disciplines à se pencher sur les dimensions multiples et interconnectées de la voix et du silence. En explorant ces concepts sous divers angles, nous pourrons mieux comprendre leur rôle crucial dans la communication humaine et dans les structures sociales.

Art et folie, littérature et folie

Revue « Mots et Mondes », no 1

Ce numéro de Mots et Mondes a pour objectif la lecture de la folie dans les arts et la littérature. Que la folie puisse se lire ou se représenter, c’est exactement ce qu’un Balzac, un Nodier, un Nerval, un Van Gogh, un Mirbeau, un Baudelaire… confirment, que ce soit dans leurs travaux artistiques ou dans leurs réflexions critiques. En effet, l’histoire de la folie telle qu’elle est vue par les arts et la littérature est riche et complexe, représentant les changements de perceptions culturelles, sociales et médicales à travers les siècles. Face à l’avancée de la folie et ses formes sur le terrain des arts, du langage et de la littérature, quel parti ces institutions ont-elles pris ?

Quo vadis Provenance Research?

Primary Sources and Archival Collections in Post-Unitarian Italy

The workshop will focus on primary sources and archival collections in post-unitarian Italy, which serve as a fundamental tool for provenance research. Research projects dealing with the Italian post-unitary period up to the recent years still face the significant challenge of not only having to locate archival sources, but also of finding a way to access and consult them. The workshop aims to put this issue up for discussion and wishes to promote an open dialogue between international scholars and representatives of research institutions. The focus lies not only on traditional art historical sources such as specified libraries, photographic collections, private estates or institutional archives. It is also intended to include historical and political archives. The aim is to connect various sources and methods of archival work related to the field of provenance research and to identify potential improvements in the provision and the use of archival material (including digital data) in Italy and abroad.

Visual culture of the former Habsburg Empire and Central Europe

“Belvedere Research Journal”

We are interested in articles that shed light on the visual culture of the former Habsburg Empire and Central Europe broadly defined from the medieval period to the present. Contributions that position Austrian art practices within a wider international framework are particularly welcome. We value innovative art historical approaches, such as challenging established narratives or exploring transnational exchanges that highlight the interconnected and cross-cultural nature of the art world. The Belvedere Research Journal is also keen to feature work on artists and figures who have been historically underrepresented, with a special emphasis on women. We encourage interdisciplinary research that blends art history with methodologies from other fields, such as digital humanities, social sciences, and cultural economics.

Possibilities of the Contemporary Landscape

Contemporary representations of landscapes are evolving considering the new climatic, political, and technological challenges. The advent of the Anthropocene has led to a reevaluation of the relationship between humans and nature and, consequently, the mode of landscape representation, not only as a motif, but also as a form and construction. Additionally, the fragmentation of memories, the growth of new technologies, and the constant flux of images disrupt the way contemporary artists represent life. This workshop will compare different techniques and construction systems to think about the landscape as a motif, subject, and theoretical concept facing today's challenges.

Iron Curtains or Artistic Gates?

Communism and Cultural Diplomacy in the Global South (1945–1991 and Beyond)

This workshop challenges traditional East-West Cold War narratives by examining the cultural interactions between communist Europe and the Global South. We will primarily focus on art, culture, and heritage as sources of new insights into historical narratives. We ask the following questions: How can artistic expression contribute to the rethinking of historical narratives? How have political circumstances shaped artistic and cultural production, and vice versa? What were the underlying power dynamics? And what are the contemporary legacies of such interactions?

Learning How To Feel

Emotional Worlds of the Middle Ages

The history of emotions has emerged as one of the most prolific research topics in recent years. Building on our understanding of the cultural production of emotional expressions, we seek to explore how people in the Middle Ages learned about emotions, how they managed and manifested them. We aim to place special emphasis on the textual aspects of socialization towards specific emotions and their expressions across different contexts and communities of the medieval world.

Mobilité, virtualité et transculturalité dans la littérature de voyage

Comme le résume Theodora Onuko, la littérature est une réflexion sur la vie, les réalités d’un peuple donné exprimées et réalisées par les moyens du langage oral ou écrit. Qu’elle soit fiction ou réalité, mais souvent vraisemblable, la littérature vise souvent à mettre en exergue une valeur esthétique et cherche en même temps à faire plaisir. L’écriture de voyage. Le choix n’est pas fortuit dans la mesure où il s’agit d’un genre littéraire dans lequel l’auteur rend compte de ce qu’il a vécu lors d’une mobilité et des périples survenus lors de cette dernière.

Herrmann/Horner: two Hollywood giants in the service of the emotional?

This international symposium pays tribute to two Hollywood giants, Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975), who died on December 24, 1975 during post-production of Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver, and James Horner (1953-2015), who was accidentally killed on June 22, 2015 while piloting one of his jets. This singular way of arousing visceral emotion or probing affects offers a possible convergence between these two Hollywood giants. Following the example of the emotional register, we could examine the various aspects of Bernard Herrmann's work that have received little attention, or focus in depth on the constituent elements of James Horner's style. These are just a few of the avenues open to us, but as this is first and foremost a tribute, the paths to be taken are multiple, depending on what the participants wish to highlight.

Translation and Translators in the Colonial Context

Roles, Functions and Narratives

The chronological reading of colonial contexts allows us to identify the “organic” link between translation and the colonial project, before, during and after the military occupation. Translation has acquired several functions; highlighting the role of the translator between the narratives of the colonizer and that of the colonized. Until 2000, seventy percent of the world's population had a “colonial” past, either as a colonizer or as a colonized. (Etemad, 258), which suggests that more than seventy percent of the world's population have been affected, and perhaps still are, through the prism of translation. The Conference will attempt to understand how translation was put at the service of the colonial project? What translation approaches have been adopted by translators and interpreters? How did translational discourse influence the cultures of the occupier and the occupied?
