Dogs in the imagination. Literature, cinema and graphic novels
Depuis l’aube de la création esthétique, dont la scène primitive a lieu dans les cavernes préhistoriques, l’imaginaire humain a incorporé la condition animale, sous ses différentes modalités et ses multiples points de vue. Au long des siècles, il révèle la présence constante et proéminente de la figure du chien, dont les liens affectifs avec l’humain sont attestés par les découvertes archéologiques préhistoriques, depuis le jour où les premiers loups ou chacals se sont approchés des hommes chasseurs-collecteurs. Il est parfaitement possible de suivre, au long des siècles, l’évolution de la pensée humaine et des mentalités, par l’observation des modalités de figuration du chien non seulement dans les mythes, les légendes, les fables, les églogues, les lais, les contes, les romans, la bande dessinée, les dessins animés, le cinéma, mais aussi dans tout type de discours (philosophique, théologique, scientifique, etc).

AFLiCo JET 2018: corpora and representativeness
With the advent of corpus linguistics, the use of corpora has become central in linguistics. One underlying assumption is that the corpus is representative of the linguistic phenomenon under scrutiny. Of course, corpus representativeness itself is a methodological construct (Leech 2006, Habert 2010): language corpora are tools constructed by linguists, and their structural limitations constrain and condition the validity of linguistic findings.

Ducasse Maldoror Lautréamont / Mayo del 68 / Erotismo Sexualidad
Lorsque le XIXe siècle arrivait à sa première moitié, les rives du Rio de la Plata deviennnent le théâtre d’un jeu sophistiqué mené, entre autres, par les populations criollas installées dans le bassin platense, les immigrés récemment arrivés d’horizons divers, les États européens monarchiques, les forces libérales et bonapartistes qui s’y opposent, l’Église, les cercles éclairés anticléricaux, les États américains qui viennent d'être créés. C’est dans cet espace fait de rencontres, de conflits et de mélanges de langues et d’idéaux qu’est né à Montevideo Isidore Ducasse, comte de Lautréamont, auteur d’une œuvre, les Chants de Maldoror, qui s’est révélée être la réécriture d’une tradition et la matière d’un avenir, toujours ouverte à des réinterprétations, à des recréations, à des versions et à des traductions.

South Asian Diasporic Cinema: Encounters
The fourth issue of /DESI/ will focus on the question of encounters in diasporic South Asian cinema: Afghanistan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, Bangladesh Nepal and Sri Lanka. The transformation of this contemporary human condition into filmic material coincides with a turn in the scientific study of diasporas. Forced migrations, which generate a movement of displacement and settlement in home territories, movements of arrivals, caught in a logic of deterritorialization, diasporas – and more particularly South Asian diasporas – are all relocated in transnational and transcultural spaces. Cinema holds a mirror to this experience of movement through this new “ethnoscape” (Appadurai) made up of shifts and disjunctures, free flows and political hurdles, border-crossings and assignment of identity.

Paris
By all measures, Germany played an overwhelming role in the development of philology and linguistics during the 19th century. This ascendancy rests on the transmission to other national academies of theoretical constructs and views, methods and institutional practices. On the other hand, German philological and linguistic ideas, methods and institutions were not constituted in isolation from the rest of the world : Transfers to the German-speaking world must also be taken into account.

Summer School - Science studies
In the face of the current ecological crisis, how shall we rethink concepts and practices of environment, ecology, difference, and technology to envision and create a more just, sustainable, and diverse planet? The combined histories of colonialism, extraction industries, energy, as well as innovation in design, architecture, literature and technology offer a lens by which to examine how contemporary techno-scientific societies envision planetary futures. Site visits exploring resource extraction, colonialism in urban policy and planning, and speculative architectural design will be accompanied by an analysis of science fiction, science technology, speculative design and ethnography, as well as life and earth sciences.

Evaluation, revision and textual rewriting
Diálogo das letras journal – Vol. 6, n.01, 2017.1
L’enseignement/apprentissage de l’écrit dans l’enseignement primaire, secondaire et supérieur est une thématique d’actualité qui a mobilisée de nombreuses recherches tant au Brésil que dans d’autres pays. Dans ce contexte, un élément occupe une place appart : le processus d’évaluation de l’apprentissage et, en particulier, l’évaluation de la révision et de la réécriture textuelle. Aussi avons-nous comme objectif de réunir des travaux scientifiques inédits aussi bien théoriques que pratiques traitant des divers aspects en relation au thème de l’évaluation, révision et réécriture textuelle.

Towards an Approach to Literary Space: Geopoetics and Geocriticism Crossing the Frontiers of Knowledge
The theoretical reorientation of literary studies towards their renewed convergence with the “real”, later identified by some as the “spatial turn” (Soja, 1989), started to develop in the literary-theoretical landscape in the middle of the twentieth century, at the moment when key theoreticians in the field of structuralism paid significant attention to the relationship between “literature and reality”, with the aim of insistently denouncing any “referential illusion” (Barthes et al., 1982) and of committing the space of literature to intratextual specularity (Dällenbach, 1977).

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.

Le 'Regole' di Fortunio a cinquecento anni dalla prima stampa
Le cinq-centenaire de la publication des Regole grammaticali della volgar lingua de Giovanni Francesco Fortunio (1516) est l’occasion de revenir sur la première grammaire imprimée de l’italien, antérieure même aux Prose della volgar lingua de Pietro Bembo (1525). Un colloque international, qui sera organisé à l’université de Liège le 2 décembre 2016, réunira les meilleurs spécialistes de l’histoire de la grammaire et de la langue italiennes. Le but poursuivi est celui d’une réflexion commune sur le processus qui conduisit, au Cinquecento, à la constitution d’une norme grammaticale, lentement mais progressivement acceptée par tous les écrivains de la péninsule.

Music, Cultural Heritage And Law
Special Issue
Music is a space of possibilities, a realm of cross-cultural events where interpretation is deeply rooted in history and societal evolution. The main complexity is to analyze the coded meaning and view how the same signs, notions and concepts are appropriated, translated, rehistorized and read anew in songs, be they pop songs or national anthems.

Conference, symposium - Middle Ages
Medieval Textuality and its material display
The International Medieval Society organizes its 13th Annual Symposium in Paris, on the theme of Words in the Middle Ages. Between the increasing use of paperless media forms and the rise in the number of digital collections, medievalists are seeking to adapt to these new means of producing knowledge about the Middle Ages. At the same time, scholars in this field are also trying to outline the methodological and historical issues that affect the study of words, which now simultaneously exist in the form of primary sources, codices, rolls, charters and inscriptions, digitally reproduced images, and the statistical and lexicographical data made possible by storage platforms and analytical tools.

Abraham Ibn Ezra, a Twelfth-Century Polymath who Straddled Arabic, Hebrew and Latin Culture
In the middle of the eighth century, with the completion of the Islamic conquest of the eastern, northern and part of the western shores of the Mediterranean, Jews managed to successfully integrate into the ruling society without losing their religious and national identity. They willingly adopted the Arabic language, spoke Arabic fluently, wrote Arabic in Hebrew letters (Judeo-Arabic), and employed Arabic in the composition of their literary works. The twelfth century witnessed a cultural phenomenon that saw Jewish scholars gradually abandon the Arabic language and adopt Hebrew, previously used almost exclusively for religious and liturgical purposes, for the first time as a vehicle for the expression of secular and scientific ideas.
