  Power struggles in popular music

  International Congress French Association of American Studies “Power and empowerment”

  For the last fifty years, scholars have routinely analyzed popular music as a site of resistance against the dominant social, political, and economic structures. Typically, the Birmingham Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies (CCCS) founded in 1964 by Stuart Hall and Richard Hoggart explored, on the basis of the subcultural theory developed in the 1920s at the University of Chicago, the appropriation and transformation by working-class and middle-class youth of the commercial products thrown at them by the culture industry, claiming that “popular music is an integral node in the lifeworlds, collective identification, and resistance practices of young people” (Taylor 4). They also examined the “semiological guerilla warfare” (Eco) that resulted when, in turn, the cultural industries appropriated and commodified the sounds and practices released by subcultural youth and converted them into “an exceptionally profitable commodity” (Drake 3).

  Labor

  “Perspective journal”, no. 2025 – 1

  The journal Perspective : actualité en histoire de l'art will explore, in its 2025 – 1 issue, the relations between labor and art history, understood both as a scholarly discipline and the material under study. That which we collectively term “labor” is today the subject of rapid changes and fierce debates which, in an often caricatural way, pitches those for whom labor is a value in and of itself (work or else laze about) against those who question the value of labor: Which type of work is useful to society? Are the conditions acceptable where labor is active? Is labor a form of domination (?) Posing these questions from an art-historical point of view allows us to start from scratch. This volume suggests that we study the relationships between labor and art history.

  Quand l’œuvre saigne

  Usages et puissances du sang les arts visuels des XXe et XXIe siècles

  Le sang, ce fluide corporel à la fois tangible et informe, sacré et tabou, nourrit de sa polysémie l’histoire des discours, des représentations et des pratiques sociales, médicales et religieuses. En tant que motif iconographique dans les arts visuels, il exprime plastiquement la pluralité des croyances, des rites et des gestes auxquels il est associé. En s’attachant aux images produites dans les cultures occidentales, ce colloque propose d’interroger la place et la fonction attribuées par les artistes des XXe et XXIe siècles à ce précieux liquide.

  Les paysages ruraux

  Perception, représentation, patrimonialisation

  À l’image de la polysémie du paysage, la trilogie des journées d’étude sur les paysages ruraux a été conçue pour rassembler des chercheurs de différents champs : historiens, géographes, historiens de la littérature, linguistes, archéologues, juristes, artistes, dans une démarche transdisciplinaire. C’est en maintenant cette volonté de transdisciplinarité et « trans-chronie » que nous vous proposons la troisième et dernière rencontre : perception, représentation, patrimonialisation. Nous réfléchirons sur la dimension cognitive, symbolique et culturelle des paysages ruraux ainsi que sur les questions patrimoniales qui y sont associées.

  “Photographica” n° 10: Soon to be 200 Years old!

  The tenth issue of the journal Photographica aims to explore the question of photography's inventions and technical progress, as well as photography's origins and how these histories were written. The 200th anniversary of photography's invention will be celebrated in 2026-2027. This will not be a celebration of the inception of photography as a truly publicly available technology, which occurred more than a decade later, but of the "first" photograph - the earliest in any case - produced and preserved to date. There would be no point in attempting to examine the 200-year history of photography in this issue of Photographica - one issue of a journal would hardly be enough - instead, we would like to suggest two lines of inquiry for researchers on this occasion. The first is to challenge accounts about the origin and development of photography, and the second is to examine how photography has commemorated its anniversaries throughout history. This call will conclude with a third line of inquiry.

  Microscopic Life in 20th and 21st Century Performance

  This symposium will ask how 20^th and 21^st century performance has engaged with invisible microscopic life. We define performance as a broad spectrum of artistic work that includes living exhibits and installations, as well as the staging of dramatic or post-dramatic work. Building on recent conceptualizations of microperformativity (Hauser & Strecker, 2020), this symposium will focus specifically on artworks that involve forms of microscopic life, such as microbes and microbiomes, or living microscopic processes, such as DNA transcription, as actors and collaborators. We ask how these actors affect agency, which shifts away from the human actor towards multi-species and multi-scalar collectives; temporality, which extends over new timescales and requires new forms of stage management and curatorial work; and relationality, where artworks involving microscopic living entities raise new ethical and biopolitical issues.

  Les matrices disciplinaires du design

  Le terme de design est aujourd’hui revendiqué dans de nombreuses pratiques (design thinking, design management, design strategy, design innovation), au point que l'on peut se demander ce qui constitue encore l'unité de la discipline. La proposition de ce colloque est de réfléchir aux contextes et aux enjeux qui ont permis au design de prendre forme et de repenser à nouveaux frais ce dont il peut être porteur.

  Fear of Knowledge?

  The studio and the study

  For this special issue we invite proposals for essays that reconsider the relationship between art and knowledge. This issue of Periskop thus hopes to widen our understanding of artistic practices and education, and to open inquiry into broader questions regarding relationships between the history of knowledge and artistic practice—in the past and in the present.

  Provence at the Crossroads of Artistic Trajectories during the 17th century

  Production, Markets, Circulation

  Through its geographic location, Provence, taken here to be the region between Nice, Montpellier and the Comtat Venaissin, is an ideal location to reflect on the plurality of artistic movements. Open to the Mediterranean and boasting active maritime trade, it was also the last stop in France on the way to Italy, at a time when a visit to Rome was an essential part of any artist's training. The conference, which will be international and multidisciplinary, intends to examine the circulation of artists and works in Provence during the 17th century.

  Call for papers - Early modern

  Visual Dramaturgies (1500-1800)

  Scenography, Costumes and Movement on Early Modern Stages

  The interest of researchers in the visual – and material – aspects of Early modern theatre has increased in the last decade. In addition to the rather developed histories of scenography and dance, an increasing number of publications on the topic of costume, lighting and historical acting have appeared, including more technical studies interested in their production and re- production (see bibliography below). The conference aims to support this trend from a transdisciplinary point of view and to reunite researchers and practitioners interested in Western performing arts (music theatre, dance, drama) of the period between the sixteenth and the eighteenth century in order to share the latest research, compare practices in various periods, countries and theatrical forms, search for convergences and perhaps even debunk some misconceptions about these aspects of theatre.

  Marcelle Delpastre : une femme-monde

  Marcelle Delpastre (1925-1998) a passé toute sa vie dans sa ferme de Germont, dans la commune de Chamberet, en Corrèze, à exploiter une petite propriété familiale. Paysanne du Limousin, Marcelle Delpastre est aussi l’auteure d’une œuvre foisonnante, écrite en français et en occitan limousin, et profondément attachée à un lieu géographique unique, la ferme de Germont, en Limousin, ce qui a conduit à oblitérer la dimension universelle d’une écriture qui dépasse le factuel et le terroir pour les inclure dans la vision globale d’un monde en mutation. Marcelle Delpastre apparaît comme un de ces « derniers », ces individus-mondes, tels que définis par Daniel Fabre, portant en eux une façon unique d’appréhender leur univers menacé de disparition. Quelques études ont été réalisées, mais il reste fort à faire pour mieux connaître l’œuvre de cette femme confrontée à des mondes d’hommes, à la fois écrivaine du local, de l’universel et du cosmique, l’un des plus grands souffles de la littérature.
