Séminaire du projet Amidex « Democratic Alliance in the Indo-Pacific »
L’Asie-Pacifique, récemment rebaptisée Indo-Pacifique pour mieux y inclure l’Inde était, jusqu’à la guerre en Ukraine, le principal point de tension géopolitique d’un ordre mondial en pleine reconfiguration idéologique, dans lequel la démocratie libérale est de plus en plus contestée. Porté par une équipe de spécialistes des pays du monde anglophone, ce sémnaire s’attache à analyser comment, à partir d’alliances historiques et solides, établies en période de conflit (guerres mondiales, guerre froide), l’Australie, les Etats-Unis et le Royaume-Uni renforcent leurs partenariats et leur puissance dans la région, au plan politique, militaire, économique et culturel, la France jouant également sa carte.

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.

Polarisation of British and American societies
Causes, consequences, perspectives
The growing polarisation within American and British societies raises profound questions about the mechanisms by which public opinion is influenced and the political and social transformations that ensue. This polarisation expresses itself at several levels, notably between different age groups, between levels of education, and between urban and rural areas. We assume here that the apparent polarisation of US and UK societies has increased in recent years, not least due to the rise to power and tenure of Donald J. Trump in the US and the vote in favour of Brexit in the UK. The aim will be to understand how these two events have acted as catalysts reinforcing divisions already present and creating new forms of divisions.

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.

Black Lives Matter: Political and artistic mobilization against systemic racism in the US and the UK
Within the context of the Black Lives Matter movements in the United States and the United Kingdom in the 2010s and 2020s, this conference will examine antiracist mobilizations and their historical continuities, their transatlantic circulations, their political resonance, as well as the many responses they have elicited, particularly in the arts.

Retrophilia, Nostalgia, and the End of Pop Culture
The purpose of this publication is to question and re-evaluate Simon Reynold’s 2011 statement that “We live in a pop age gone loco for retro and crazy for commemoration. […] Could it be that the greatest danger to the future of our music culture is … its past?” One decade after Reynolds’s thought-provoking analysis, one may wonder whether this assumption is still relevant today. Can it be extended to other objects of pop culture (films, series, music, video-games, tatoo art, etc.)? In the Post-pandemic age, is pop culture still fixated on its (and our) past? Is this “addiction” to the past a regressive trend or, on the contrary, an opportunity to reassess modern history and re-evaluate its legacy and its representation in popular mass media? In terms of forms and formats, can something “radically new” emerge from nostalgia?

Conference, symposium - Representation
Abondance et manque se posent comme des états opposés et sont pourtant tous deux contraires de l’équilibre, de l’harmonie, du neutre. La recherche ou la fuite d’une de ces deux extrémités met en jeu notre rapport aux ressources, au besoin et au désir, et nous invite à réfléchir à la question de la valeur, de la norme, et de l’excès. D’abord une question de survie fondamentale, notre rapport à l’abondance et au manque peut s’observer dans l'organisation de nos sociétés, de la langue, mais aussi dans nos recherches d’une esthétique et d’une expression. Ce colloque proposera une réflexion interdisciplinaire sur ces deux notions dans le monde anglophone.

Fontainebleau
Vers une bibliothèque commune
Cette première école thématique résidentielle du CNRS s’adresse aux chercheurs, enseignants-chercheurs, ingénieurs de recherche et doctorants désirant confronter différents types de savoirs relatifs à la « race », à la couleur et au fait colonial autour de modules de formation et de tables rondes qui porteront sur ces questions dans une perspective comparée, espace francophone, espace anglophone. Dans la mesure où il est souvent reproché à des approches et à des notions dites « anglo-saxonnes » de menacer l’objectivité et, de ce fait, la qualité de la production académique française, cette école thématique part du monde anglophone et veut rassembler des réseaux de chercheurs de disciplines différentes et qui ne se côtoient pas nécessairement.

Time at the Turn of the Twentieth Century in American-British Philosophy
Around the turn of the twentieth century, time became a major focus of American-British philosophy. Against a broadly Kantian-Hegelian backdrop, philosophers began developing new questions and theories about time. Shadworth Hodgson argued humans perceive a ‘specious present’, a short duration rather than an infinitesimally small one; this view was further developed by Mary Calkins and William James. J. M. E. McTaggart advanced a new argument for the unreality of time. A. N. Whitehead made time the foundation of his process philosophy. This event brings together philosophers from Europe and North America exploring this period that was to become defining for the contours of twentieth-century English-speaking philosophy of time. The event will deliberately be scheduled to be compatible with European and North American time zones.

Frontier(s) and Frontier-zone(s) in the English-speaking world
Call for papers
It may be argued that any frontier is the expression of what is discontinuous, of the existence of an ‘inside’ and of an ‘outside’, in short, that a frontier is an attempt to keep the ‘other’ at bay, whatever the meaning of the term – a given geographical territory, or a specific political entity, or a different culture, or else all of these put together. These considerations are in tune with the etymological origin of the word ‘frontier’ itself, i.e. anything that helps a group of people ‘develop a united front’. Examples abound, from the so-called ‘natural’ frontier of this or that country to Brexit, to the wall that President Trump has set out to build between his own country and Mexico.

Call for papers - Political studies
Following two different and yet complementary approaches (one from the top down with parties and the other from the bottom up with grassroots organizations), we propose to compare how potential voters have been appealed to, through the use of different strategies and tools of communication”. Whether it be organizations or parties, it will be interesting to analyze how these groups either (re)connect citizens with politics or give birth to social movements which durably occupy the political landscape of the United States and the United Kingdom. Common features may be observed along with distinct approaches particularly adapted to the specificity of each country concerned.

Electoral strategies and practices in the English-speaking world (1867-2017)
Cette journée d’étude, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet transversal « Politique, discours et innovation » de l'Institut des langues et cultures d'Europe, Amériques, Afrique, Asie et Australie (ILCEA4), sera le premier volet d’une réflexion visant à confronter les stratégies et pratiques électorales dans le cadre d’une mobilisation initiale ou d’une remobilisation d’électorats dans une perspective tout d’abord « descendante », qui s’attachera aux efforts des partis politiques pour conquérir de nouveaux électeurs ou reconquérir des électeurs démobilisés ou perdus à d’autres partis, puis « ascendante » - impliquant cette fois la base, les mouvements populaires sur le terrain, du type grassroots en anglais.

Conference, symposium - Early modern
Race and Class in Britain and America, 17th-19th centuries
This conference will question how developing discourses of race came to structure the societies of Britain and America in the early modern period. It hopes to explore the way discourses of race and class interacted with each other, and how the vocabulary of social strata overlapped with the language of race. How were the bodies and minds of the upper ranks considered to differ from those of other people during these periods? How important indeed was the idea of the physical body in rank distinction, and how did this square with the notions of pure blood that underpinned both “race” and hereditary privilege? In what ways were some groups “naturally” privileged or “naturally” excluded? Were social minorities like indigents or women marginalized or stigmatized similarly to Africans or Native Americans?

Abortion in the British Isles, France and North America (Canada, USA), 19th-21st centuries
L’année 2018 marque le cinquantenaire de l’entrée en vigueur en Grande-Bretagne de la Loi relative à l’interruption volontaire de grossesse (IVG) le 27 avril 1968 (adoptée en 1967), l’anniversaire des 45 ans, aux États-Unis, de l’arrêt de la Cour suprême Roe vs. Wade du 22 janvier 1973, ainsi que le 25e anniversaire de l’arrêt de la Cour suprême du Canada mettant fin à des conditions très restrictives d’IVG (R. v. Morgentaler). Un référendum sur l’abrogation de l’Article 8 de la Constitution de la République d’Irlande sera également organisé en 2018 et pourrait mener à une dépénalisation de l’avortement en Irlande. Par ailleurs, le parlement britannique a décidé en juillet 2017 d’autoriser les femmes en Irlande du Nord (où la Loi relative à l’IVG britannique ne s’applique pas) à procéder à une IVG sur le sol de la Grande-Bretagne et à faire prendre en charge leurs frais médicaux (ce qui n’était pas le cas jusque-là). Un état des lieux sera donc le bienvenu afin d’apprécier en France et à l’échelle internationale (Royaume-Uni, Irlande, Amérique du Nord) l’histoire et l’évolution de l’IVG.
