Politiques des archives visuelles
Intermédialité, décolonialité et création
Nous interpréterons différents types d’archives visuelles dans une perspective intermédiale et décoloniale, c’est-à-dire en interrogeant les liens entre les différentes formes et utilisations des images d’archives, le rôle des technologies mobilisées pour leur conception et celui des institutions au sein desquelles ils s’inscrivent (archives, musée, salle de cinéma, tribunal, université, etc.). En plus de l’intermédialité qui demeure l’axe principal de l’école d’été, plusieurs autres approches seront mobilisées allant des études autochtones à l’anthropologie, les études cinématographiques et photographiques, mais aussi les humanités numériques et la préservation audiovisuelle.

Interculturality, Diversity and Inclusion
Contemporary Issues in Societies and Businesses in the Americas
L’objectif de cette rencontre est d’analyser l’interculturalité, la diversité et l’nclusion tant dans les sociétés que dans les entreprises de différents pays du continent américain. Il s’agit d’une activité qui comprendra des communications sur des pays tels que les États-Unis, Haïti, la Jamaïque, le Mexique, le Costa Rica, l’Équateur et l’Argentine. Outre le questionnement sur ces nouvelles et possibles instances inclusives, les différences culturelles, sociales et de genre ainsi que les transformations de la société dans de nombreux pays, ont conduit à une réflexion et à des propositions sur la possibilité de construire de nouvelles citoyennetés inclusives et diverses.

“Community Healthcare” in the Americas: (dis)continuities and reappropriations
Revue « IdeAs » n°28 (automne 2026)
Community health, which refers to a set of practices and intervention models grounded in social participation and a promotional-preventive approach, began to emerge during the 1960s as an alternative way of delivering healthcare. The American continent was one of the incubators of this approach, drawing on liberation theology and popular education movements in Latin America, the Free Clinics and the Neighborhood Health Clinics in the United States, and the interaction between popular movements and the State during Quebec’s Quiet Revolution. This issue of the journal IdeAs proposes a continental approach to community health.

L’acculturation du droit français dans les anciennes colonies d’Amérique (Québec, Haïti, Louisiane)
L’existence de codes civils, et parfois de traditions civilistes, dans les sociétés postcoloniales en terres d’Amérique, est plus que symbolique sur les plans politique, culturel et même linguistique. La fin du XVIIIe siècle au Québec, et le début du XIXe siècle en Haïti et en Louisiane, marquent une période de flottement entre, d’une part, la tradition civiliste (Québec) ou la codification (Haïti, Louisiane) et, d’autre part, l’influence du droit de common law anglais (Québec) ou américain (Louisiane). Le droit civil français est globalement envisagé de manière favorable pour régir la société dans les anciennes colonies d’outre-Atlantique. C’est aussi, dans une certaine mesure, le droit public français qui sert de modèle (à travers l’adoption de différentes constitutions en Haïti) ou d’inspiration sur afin d’éclairer des questions précises (par exemple, la distinction entre citoyenneté et nationalité en Louisiane et en Haïti).

Les études autochtones à l’université
Cinquante ans d’acquisition documentaire et de recherche
Depuis les années 1970, les études autochtones d’Amériques du Nord (ou études amérindiennes) se sont développées aux États-Unis et au Canada, assez peu en France : l’université Bordeaux Montaigne est l’une des rares universités françaises dans laquelle se déploie une recherche en études autochtones depuis les années 1980. En appui du travail des chercheur·ses, l’un des plus importants fonds documentaires du pays dans le domaine s’est constitué au sein de l’établissement, abrité en partie par la bien nommée bibliothèque Rigoberta Menchú.

Religion and immigration in the United States and Canada: A Bottom-Up Perspective
In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in the religious beliefs and practices of immigrant populations in both popular and academic discourse. While this topic is most often addressed as part of larger conversations about multiculturalism and social cohesion within the broader society, scholars are increasingly turning their attention to religious identities as experienced by the immigrants themselves. This conference will take a “bottom up” approach to explore how religion has factored into the migrant trajectories, lived experience, and imaginaries of newcomers to the United States and Canada from the nineteenth century through to the present day.

Reproductive Justice and Its Discontents: Recent Representations in American Popular Culture
“RSAJournal”, 36 (September 2025)
RSAJournal, the journal of the Italian Association of American Studies (AISNA) seeks contributions for its n. 36 issue (September 2025) for both its General and Special Sections. Reproductive justice—defined as the right to have children, to not have children, and to parent—has always confronted praxes of power and control, which include the regulation of many issues such as expected gender roles, sexual behavior, abortion, family formation, adoption, reproductive assistive technology, and surrogacy. We invite contributions from different disciplines considering how popular culture shapes our attitudes about reproductive justice.

Surrealism and the Americas: new historiographical perspectives
Thematic workshop of the bi-annual Congress of the Institut des Amériques
As we celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of the first Surrealist Manifesto (1924), it is in fact appropriate to revisit this long historiographical tradition that considers this collective adventure as an exclusively French (if not Parisian) one, of the interwar period, centered around the charismatic figure of André Breton. By example of the Americas, we wish to propose a new theoretical definition of the movement in favour of its specific variations and manifestations in order to better question the very notions of centre, periphery, heritage or descendance and, in this way, bring to light the new actors of global Surrealism.

What Matters in Contemporary Anglophone Cultures
“What Matters” is an invitation to rethink the weight of habits, established structures and validated categories. Arguing that someone/something counts goes against economic/budgetary/financial accounting, which is typically the work of a dominant power that keeps precise accounts, compiling or capitalising, trying to contain or control. “What matters” is an invitation to give an account of what does not seem to count, what is unthought of or invisible. “What matters” is a response to what is challenging research, and a direct appeal to its agency to redefine the common space and what would be a (co-)habitable world. It invites us to grasp how research can make people act and react, and provoke awakening. We are looking for papers in linguistic, literary, dramatic, historical, sociological, political, film and serial studies and, more broadly, cultural studies.

Power and Empowerment in Ecological Perspective
Annual conference of the Association française d’études américaines (AFEA)
Our workshop will explore how the tension between power and empowerment can be applied to the field of environmental studies, conceived here in the broadest sense, from environmental history to anthropology, political science and sociology. For instance, how do questions of emancipation and social or political transformation apply to ecological activism, the energy transition and the various struggles for environmental justice?

Photography and demonstration in the Americas
Lors de cette journée d’étude, nous nous intéresserons à trois types de manifestations : les spontanées suite à des événements inattendus et souvent violents (grèves, soulèvements, émeutes, etc.) ; les officielles (commémorations de dates anniversaires telles que la fête du travail, les fêtes nationales, etc.) ; les manifestations politiques et sociales liées à des combats de longue haleine (les Marches des Fiertés, les luttes pour les droits des femmes ou contre le racisme, la défense de l’IVG, les combats écologiques liés au réchauffement climatique, etc.).

Flows, Routes, Crises in the Atlantic World
Our two-day conference, “Narratives of Water : Flows, Routes, Crises in the Atlantic World,” wishes to explore the multifaceted dimensions of water through literary texts (understood broadly to include also theatre plays, graphic novels, movies, TV series, video games, podcasts, and other cultural products). While Blue Humanities started out focusing primarily on oceans, we encourage scholars interested in submitting a contribution to expand the scope of their investigation also to other waterscapes, including freshwater bodies on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and to water-related atmospheric phenomena such as rain, snow, hail, and storms.

Pas de (ré)conciliation sans décolonisation ?
Dialogue(s) et dissonance(s) entre communautés autochtones, allochtones et autorités publiques en Amérique du Nord
Malgré un processus dit de réconciliation initié en 2008 au Canada, le dialogue entre populations autochtones, allochtones et autorités publiques au Canada et aux États-Unis, quand il est amorcé, semble souvent se heurter à des obstacles. Si certains sont évidents, tels que la discrimination systémique qui perdure envers les Autochtones, d’autres le sont moins, et découlent par exemple des difficultés à exposer et assumer la mémoire des crimes passés ou de l’éloignement entre les différents acteurs en question, produit du colonialisme. Face à ce constat, ce colloque se donne pour but de chercher à cerner ce qui demeure de l’ordre du colonialisme, du néo-colonialisme, de la colonialité, des impasses du post-colonialisme – autant de concepts essentiels qu’il s’agira d’explorer. En somme, l’objectif est d’étudier ce qui empêche encore, souvent, une relation « équitable et inclusive » entre populations autochtones et allochtones.

Sex (Mis)Education in the English-Speaking World
Historical, Literary and Socio-political Perspectives
This call for papers seeks contributions that will engage with the competing forms of formal and informal sex education as they pertain to the English-speaking world with a special focus on English speaking societies from the Indian ocean. Our aim is to propose varied, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to the broad question of sex education, welcoming papers from historians, linguists, literary critics, sociologists, specialists in gender studies and others. Keeping in mind Foucault’s notion that sex is both hyper visible and taboo, we aim at providing in-depth discussions which will help better understand both formal and informal sex education taking into account the fact that sex education is fraught with cultural tensions and political feuds.

Paris
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.
