  World War 2 : History, Art and Memory

  The session will be divided into three complementary sections with the aim of exploring in an original manner a historical moment—the Second World War—that is crucial for the understanding of the contemporary world. The first part of the course will be devoted to the study of Franco-American relations during the war, providing us the opportunity to revisit well-known political and military events from the perspective of American press coverage. The second part of the course will examine the war through the official War Artists' scheme launched in 1939. The third and final part of the course will approach the memory of the Second World War through films that have played a crucial role in shaping our memory of this event, from 1945 to the present day.

  What is coalition? Reflections on the conditions of alliance formation with Judith Butler’s work

  This one-day conference aims to reflect – historically, sociologically, philosophically – on the conditions of possibility, on the objects, means and purposes of alliance formation – between minorities, with the State, political parties, and other public actors, or between disciplines, or even across species (e.g. animal-human), etc. –, of political transformation, and thus of a collective agency, in both domestic and international contexts, through the concrete and generic question of “What is coalition?” – with special interest for the ways in which critical perspectives inspired from feminist and queer theory can be made into productive tools to theorize the political at various levels, at different times and locations, but also to intervene and do better democratic work.

Il s'agit d'appréhender un phénomène qui a une longue histoire, mais dont les chronologies restent encore souvent à préciser, et qui a pu intéresser divers champs des sciences sociales. Les communications, de nature méthodologique, visent à fournir des grilles de lectures pour analyser la question thermale, à travers un vaste prisme de sources textuelles et archéologiques.

  Ambiances in action

  The second International Congress on Ambiances is an international gathering for researchers, artists and players engaged in analyzing the ambiance-related dimensions of the built environment and in the sensory construction of the contemporary world. Many approaches are at work in the field of architectural and urban ambiance, and these multiple contributions nurture its rich diversity. The Congress aims to give voice to this activity, feeding on work exploring new forms of exchange between what is designed and what is experienced, between the measured and the qualified, the projected and the tested, the material and the immaterial. The Congress will be held for four days at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA), in Montreal, from 19 to 22 September 2012. It will seek to express advances in learning and new hypotheses proposed by the various disciplines and fields of activity which address the question of ambiances.

  Toponymy and perception of space in Egypt from Antiquity to Middle Ages

  La toponymie est un outil essentiel pour comprendre les liens entre l’espace égyptien et les différentes cultures qui s’y sont succédé. D’une part pour appréhender la manière dont cet espace était géré et organisé par les différents pouvoirs et d’autre part pour aborder la façon dont il était perçu. L’étude de la toponymie égyptienne sur le temps long – de l’Antiquité au Moyen Âge – permet ainsi d’envisager continuités et ruptures dans les différents systèmes toponymiques qui se sont superposés (administratifs, religieux) et / ou succédé (pharaonique, grec, copte, arabe) dans cet espace. Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif d’interroger, grâce à l’intervention de spécialistes du monde antique et médiéval, les processus de nomination à l’oeuvre dans la toponymie, ainsi que les mécanismes de gestion et d’appropriation des territoires de l’espace égyptien.
