  Digital Humanities Seminar 2010 : Scholarly Editions

  This presentation deals with the digital edition of D’Alembert’s eulogy of Bossuet. This text is highly difficult to edit since we have to cope with a printed edition published in two stages and two successive manuscript versions showing various types and levels of corrections.We will explain first these editorial issues and the research problems they are connected to. Then we will expose the way a digital edition could better bring solutions than a traditional printed edition through a series of features showing the genesis process of the text, from the manuscripts to the published versions. Finally we will present some software which makes it possible to edit this text as well as other eulogies with similar characteristics.

  Power of Spirit and Imagination in 17th Century

  In this workshop, scholars from different disciplines will work together to study the early modern imagination. In particular, we are interested in the relation between general conceptions of the imagination at the time and more specific and controversial ideas of a creative, active and forceful imagination. This powerful imagination was dependent on ‘spirit’ in its different meanings in the early modern period (human spirit, demons, animal and other spirits, spirit of nature, etc.), resulting in a rich variety of opinions. These ideas of an active imagination and of powerful spirits, in their full complexity and diversity, were transmitted between philosophy, literature, medicine, the sciences, witchcraft, demonology as well as religion, and the workshop aims at unearthing the exchanges between these various fields.

  The Aftermath of Suffrage

  What Happened After the Vote Was Won?

  Ce colloque ambitionne d'apporter de nouveaux éclairages en histoire du genre et en histoire politique en s'intéressant à la période consécutive à l'obtention du droit de vote par les femmes britanniques. Il s'agira de considérer comment les héritages contestés des mouvements pour le droite de vote des femmes et pour le suffrage universel ont influé sur les débats dans l'entre-deux-guerres sur les questions de représentation politique, de réforme démocratique, de division sexuelle du travail en politique et d'inclusion très graduelle des femmes dans l'arène politique nationale en Grande-Bretagne.

  Surrealism laid bare (18-20 June 2010)

  Biennial Conference of the Edward James Foundation and of the Centre for the Study of Surrealism and Its Legacies (University of Manchester)

  La place primoridale de l'éros dans le mouvement surréaliste a été longtemps reconnue. Plus récemment, cette reconnaissance est devenue le sujet d'une analyse du surréalisme du point de vue des études de genre. Pourtant la question de l'homosexualité reste mise à l'écart en partie en raison de l'intolérance de Breton sur ce sujet. Néanmoins, nombreux ont été les artistes et les intellectuels « queer » ayant cotoyé le surréalisme. C'est le cas, en particulier dans des pays où le surréalisme a offert le terroir pour l'expression d'une pluralité d'identités et désirs grâce à l'expansion géographique du mouvement hors de la France. L'heure est à « la mise à nu » de ce dernier tabou dans les études sur le surréalisme. Nous invitons des propositions de 300 mots pour des interventions EN LANGUE ANGLAISE de la durée de 20-30 minutes.

  Current Evolutions of Romance Tenses

  Les formes verbales d’une langue sont traditionnellement présentées comme éléments d’un système aspecto-temporo-modal stable où chaque tiroir remplit des fonctions spécifiques et discriminantes. Eppur si muove…: les pratiques discursives révèlent une réalité plus fluide et une « synchronie dynamique ».Le but du présent colloque est de décrire et d’analyser les changements actuellement en cours, et les lieux où les pratiques discursives actuelles s’avèrent susceptibles de faire évoluer les systèmes verbaux des langues romanes, ainsi que d’évaluer les facteurs déclencheurs du changement.
