How are norms challenged by disabilities?
This 9th conference aims to discuss the construction of normality and, more broadly, the system of thought that structures our societies in which being “able” is the norm in the sense of both the most widespread and the most desirable situation. The aim of this critical perspective is therefore to highlight how our societies are structured in relation to the notion of the able individual. While the recent call to build inclusive societies would appear to herald a radical turning point, what is the reality? Have we truly finished with representations of disability that tend towards the negative, the defective or even the tragic? To what extend are the “heroized” figures of disability, omnipresent in the public space, perpetrating the representation of disability as a deviation from the norm?

The Spiritual: a Valid Category for the Humanities?
An interdisciplinary debate
Ce colloque se propose de tenter une théorisation de la notion de spirituel afin d'en faire une catégorie scientifique utilisable dans le champ des sciences humaines. Depuis le poststructuralisme, la théorie, notamment littéraire, est devenue experte en matière d'analyse et de remise en question du soubassement idéologique de tout discours. Toutefois, cette « herméneutique du soupçon » (Ricoeur, 1975) se trouve démunie lorsqu'il s'agit d'élaborer une herméneutique « instauratrice de sens » (Ricoeur, 1965) permettant de penser l'humain au-delà de sa matérialité.

Art and the Environment in Britain 1700-today
Whether one thinks of environment as context, setting, climate change, green spaces or sounds, today’s epistemology invites us to rethink man’s relation to the external world to the extent that the “inside” and “outside” coalesce, nature and culture merge, man and animal are reconfigured. How have British artists responded to these shifting perceptions of the world around them, of this great swirling circle of life and non life in which they found – or imagined – themselves diversely positioned, for a long time at the centre, then in a more undefined place – at the margin even? How has art itself positioned itself in this newly defined environment?

Architectural criticism between public debate and autonomous discipline
Mapping.Crit.Arch: Architectural criticism XXth and XXst centuries, a cartography
This first workshop will focus on the relationship of architectural criticism with "public opinion" and on the opposite side, its relations to architecture as an "autonomous" discipline. The various nature and degree of such an autonomy will be examined in different historical, institutional and cultural contexts: to what extent is architectural criticism autonomous from social uses of architecture, from the architectural design and its economic production?

Commemoration, Re-enactment, Writings of War in the English-speaking World (18th-21st centuries)
The wars of the past have not left the same imprint on collective memory. Wars of conquest or liberation have marked the history of the British Empire and its colonies in different ways. American foreign policy seems to be motivated by what is sometimes viewed as an imperialist vision which led the army into the quagmire of Vietnam and more recently into controversial involvement in the Gulf. Whether they end in victory or defeat, or are a source of patriotic pride or collective shame, wars are commemorated in museum exhibitions or through literature and the cinema in which the threads of ideological discourse and the expression of subjective experience are intertwined. From the upheavals of the Napoleonic Wars and the American Civil War to the Boer Wars in South Africa, from the “Troubles” in Northern Ireland to the carnage and devastation of the two World Wars, some conflicts seem to attract “duties of memory” while others are simply forgotten.

Teaching Arabic to Non Arabic Speakers : Diverse Experiences
L’idée du colloque est de confronter des expériences d’enseignement de la langue arabe aux non arabophones dans les établissements supérieurs aussi bien européens que ceux du monde arabe à travers deux axes : un axe historique et institutionnel de l’enseignement et des formations en arabe portant sur les voies lesquelles il s'est institionnalisé dans les différentes traditions d'enseignement des langues étrangères; un axe linguistique et didactique où l’on s’interrogera sur les choix pédagogiques qui sont faits dans les formations, à travers les différentes expériences. Les langues du colloque sont le français, l’anglais et l’arabe. -

Representing Animals in Britain
La question de la ou des représentation(s) des animaux dans les îles Britanniques évoque d’emblée plusieurs éléments majeurs de la tradition et de l'histoire récente du pays : les gravures de Hogarth en 1751, la création de la Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals en 1824, les écrits de Locke, de Bentham sur le statut de l’animal, les travaux de Darwin sur les espèces, ou encore le débat contemporain sur l’expérimentation animale ou l’élevage intensif. Il semble que les Britanniques aient accordé une grande place aux animaux dans leurs arts, leur pensée, leurs loisirs, leurs sciences, et leur vie quotidienne. Cependant, l’idée que nos voisins d’outre-Manche aiment beaucoup les animaux révèle-elle quelque chose de profond dans la culture de ce pays, ou bien n'est-elle qu'un cliché que les Britanniques se plaisent à colporter ? C’est à cette question que nous souhaiterions répondre. -

Religion in Europe, religion and Europe
Recent debates have focused on the institutional issues raised by the relations between religion and European integration, such as the Churches’ participation in EU governance, references to the Christian heritage of Europe in the preamble of the Constitutional treaty, or the revival of denominational powers within national arenas. Meanwhile, belief is nowadays developing in Europe essentially through individualized and deregulated forms which are no longer under the control and the mediation of organized political and spiritual institutions. This workshop aims to analyse both institutional and non-institutional religious phenomena in their interaction with the Europeanization process experienced by State members. -

Immigration, History and Memory in Britain
It has long been acknowledged that British history cannot be exclusively constructed from the histories of the white ethnic groups traditionally perceived to make up the British Isles. History in Britain, as in most nations, is a mosaic of different inter
