Réseaux journal

Ce numéro de Réseaux « Topographies et topologies » veut mettre en avant la nécessité de mieux penser les objets, les entités mobilisées dans toutes ces visualisations pour rendre compte de dimensions spatiales parfois fort éloignées. En ce sens, la data viz au sens large n’est pas concernée mais l’espace et les spatialités en sont bien la cible problématique essentielle.

African Arts on the Web: Exploring the stakes for online African museums and collections

La multiplication de sites web de musées et d’expositions constitue un fait majeur du paysage muséal contemporain, contribuant à l’élargissement de son périmètre et de son offre, esthétique, didactique ou touristique. Il existe dorénavant des musées virtuels sans collections propres, des collections réelles à empreinte numérique ou encore des sites de vente en ligne imitant des musées. Par le choix des œuvres, les rapports images / textes, les mises en scène virtuelles instituent de nouveaux modes de réception et de consommation des arts d’Afrique en Occident dont les effets comme les acteurs ont peu été étudiés.

Reflecting the World

Museums and collections of visual and sound documentation around 1900

The spread of photography, the invention of cinema, and the development of sound recording devices around the end of the 19^th century engendered the creation of a large volume of still and moving images, as well as sounds registered from across the world. At the time, various institutions were established in order to collect, archive, and highlight these materials, so as to preserve visual and auditory traces of history, geography, and all the social phenomena stemming from particular regions or states, or even the entire world. It concerns, for example, documentary photography museums which arose from local projects in France, Swiss and Belgium; the Archives de la Planète, created by the banker Albert Kahn; the project of Boleslas Matuszewski for a repository of historical cinematography; or the earliest, globally-directed sound archives, set up in Vienna and Berlin.

Love, Lust and Longing: Rethinking Intimacy

5th International Symposium of the International Network for Alternative Academia

While discussion of sex become ever more common, opportunities to explore the nature of love are still rare. When the topic is raised, most often the focus is on dramatic experiences or hard cases. The “epic” and the “mundane” are probably more intertwined in our experiences of love than cultural speech and literature admit. Yet, an imbalance continues to exist: we reflect little on the smallness of events that sustain love bonds. What goes unexamined as such are the ways in which love is spoken of and enacted in everyday life. This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the lived experience of love considering the ways in which it is described and how it is practiced, identifying how love differs from and overlaps with concern, care, friendship and lust and raising questions about the ontology, expression and politics of love.

Representations of Rurality in Crime Fiction and Media Culture

Interdisciplinary Approaches to "Setting the Scene"

The Institute for Collaborative Research in the Humanities at Queen’s University organises a two day Symposium in June 2015 (15 & 16th) as part of its theme of "Creativity in Imagined and Material Worlds". Devoted to representations of the rural, it will bring together studies in crime fiction and media culture looking at a variety of outlets such as fiction, film, television, comics, games and many others and inspect their various engagements with the concept of "rurality". Interdisciplinary papers are welcomed, but not contained to, Anthropology, Modern Languages, English, Film and Media Studies, History, Cultural Studies, Historical/Cultural/Rural Geography, Sociology, Spatial Planning. By bringing together an interdisciplinary group we will address how cultural constructions of the rural often ‘set the scene’ for crime fiction.

The making of cultural policies

Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization

This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

Les capitales : échelles, trajectoires, pratiques

Revue Géocarrefour

Siège du pouvoir, la ville capitale est un objet sous-étudié en tant que tel en géographie. Plus qu’un simple chef-lieu administratif, la capitale impose dans sa forme, son paysage urbain et par ses fonctions de commandement des spécificités dans le concert des réseaux urbains. L’étude des capitales se trouve en effet au croisement de plusieurs champs de recherche comme la géographie politique, la géographie urbaine, la géographie historique ou la science régionale. Les contributions visées par cet appel à communications pourraient aborder les trois thèmes suivants : le rapport entre les capitales et l’évolution géo-historique de leurs territoires, la position des capitales dans l’armature des échelons de pouvoir et les pratiques politiques et sociales qui traversent spécifiquement ces villes, en lien avec leur statut de capitale.

Projets de paysage journal, issue 15

Ce numéro thématique de Projets de paysage est consacré à la dimension culturelle du paysage et aux déclinaisons qu’elle induit. Comment penser les différents registres de la dimension culturelle ? Ceux-ci correspondent aux trois volets de contributions que nous proposons. Un premier volet consiste à éclairer l’épistémologie du paysage qui s’est construite selon différentes trajectoires tracées par les milieux géographiques rencontrés. Dans un second volet, on pourra interroger les constructions notionnelles qui sous-tendent nos compréhensions du paysage en tant que phénomène culturel et qui sont à l’œuvre dans l’action, notamment l’action publique. La circulation des projets de paysage, les échanges des personnes, des idées, les appropriations auxquelles ils donnent lieu constitueront un dernier volet de réflexion possible.
