Reclaiming Spaces: Spatiality and the (Re)occupation of Spaces in the French and Francophone World

ASMCF Annual Conference 2023

The 2023 Association for the study of modern and contemporary France (ASMCF) annual conference will seek to explore the concept of spatiality: the physical and social dimensions of space and how they shape our experiences, identities, and cultures. The theme builds on last year’s conference on “presence, absence, hybridity” and interrogates the occupation of spaces as a means to understand modern and contemporary French and Francophone cultures and identities. This is of particular importance at a time when people are (re)occupying spaces that had been restricted during the covid-19 pandemic and reflecting on the new relation to space brought about by this crisis.

Îles, identités, altérités

Ier Colloque Littératures et cultures insulaires

La première édition du colloque international « Littératures et les cultures insulaires » portera sur les rapports entre les espaces insulaires et la construction identitaire, qu’elle soit individuelle ou collective, nationale ou régionale, voire globale, que l’on interrogera à partir de la notion d’altérité. Les îles étant traditionnellement associées à l’idée d’ailleurs, à la perception de l’Autre, procurent un terrain fertile pour une réflexion métissée et un regard décentré sur l’altérité culturelle, spatiale et sociale. Associé au doctorat en littératures et cultures insulaires (univ. des Açores, univ. de Madère, univ. de Corse, INALCO), ce colloque s’adresse aux chercheur·es qui s’intéressent aux thématiques insulaires, que ce soit dans le cadre des études littéraires, culturelles, linguistiques, historiques, sociologiques ou d’approches comparatives et transdisciplinaires.

A Time after a Setback: Persistent Reverberations of the Carnation Revolution

Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal Nº 21

At a time when there will be multiple proposals for perspectives on the fiftieth anniversary of April 25, 1974, a revolution marked by a euphoria that surpassed the day before and that surprised the day after, in an unlocking of the future, we suggest a look at the threshold of several disciplines in this cross-sectional issue of Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal, between the social and human sciences, the arts, literature and other forms of intervention in reality, through four areas.

Women’s narratives and European integration history

The history of European integration and Europeanisation has developed into a varied field that has moved on from an initial focus on the vision and achievements of the founding fathers. However, even though women played a vital part in the European project launched after the Second World War, their role has yet to be fully explored. Women tended to remain in the background until they began to be more readily accepted as political leaders, particularly following the first European elections by direct universal suffrage in 1979 and the appointment of the first female European Commissioner in 1989. Against this backdrop, “adding a gender perspective to European memory” and history seems essential.

The Agency of Plants in the Literature and the Arts of the French- and English-Speaking Worlds (19th c. – 21st c.)

We would like to invite contributors to rethink the agency of plants in the literature and arts of the anglophone and the francophone worlds from the nineteenth century to the present day. The aim of the conference is to reflect on the active role of plants in texts and visual representations, and think about the aesthetic, political, and epistemological implications of this form of agency. We will analyse the way in which plants act upon and with the human world from an anthrodecentric perspective. We will look at how plants can organise or disorganise our world, call into question established truths, and shape power relations, including political ones.

Les débats de l’histoire économique

Capitalisme en perspective historique. Approches et débats

Dans sa quatrième édition, l’école « Histoire et sciences sociales : les débats de l’histoire économique » se décline autour de la thématique « Capitalisme en perspective historique. Approches et débats ». L’histoire du capitalisme a reçu ces dernières années une importante attention provenant de différents horizons. Elle a largement enrichi les questionnaires dressés par les grands classiques, depuis Marx et Schumpeter jusqu’à Polanyi, Braudel et North – pour ne citer que les références les plus marquantes. Si les discussions sur l’origine, la nature et l’historicité du capitalisme prolongent en partie les grands débats classiques, les nouvelles approches sortent souvent du périmètre tracé par ces auteurs, tout en intégrant quelques-unes de leurs problématiques.

Deciphering censorship

From regulation to the production of invisibilities, from the archive to the Internet: an interdisciplinary approach

We invite all parties interested in the theme of censorship to participate in the conference across any of the four axes detailed below. Nevertheless, there is an openness to other proposals that set out new paths and, hence, the framework below is in no way exhaustive: Analytical models and methodologies; Framework for the factor of international circulation; Meta-analysis; Implications of censorship.

Research in Language and Religion: Approaches, Descriptions and the Advent of New Identities in Post-colonies

Research in language and religion has addressed various issues in the humanities and particularly in linguistics. However, the realities of the post-colonial terrain give rise to more complex forms of identity construction, the expression of diversity, and the dynamic tensions between languages and groups. The aim of this call is to study the relationship between language and religious belief in linguistics as well as in other fields of the humanities. It is also a question of questioning the theoretical and methodological aspects mobilized so far by the authors and to see how they allow us to account for the language phenomena that occur in religious situations, especially when they concern multicultural communities.

Afro-Diasporic Imaginaries in 20th and 21st–Century Latin American and Caribbean Literature and Visual Arts

Nakan Journal

In this volume, we would like to analyze in depth the paths taken by the 20th and 21st century Latin American and Caribbean letters in relation to the experience of the black diaspora in dialogue with the visual arts, as well as in relation to the main themes, forms and techniques used by artist, playwrights, poets, storytellers and writers. In a context of increasing violence and intolerance towards minorities in Latin America, we will welcome analyses that focus on the relationship between literature and the resistance of the cultures created by the black diaspora.

Reading reuse. Image recycling in Egypt and beyond

The Institut français d’archéologie orientale (Cairo) is organizing a workshop on the concept of reuse of decorated artifacts (entire monuments or wall reliefs, pieces of furniture, statues, figurines, painted or incised pots, items of personal or mobiliary adornment, etc.) in archaeological or architectural settings. It is in the academic interest to bring together scholars from various areas and periods, through a comparative approach, which is not limited to the study of past societies but also benefits from the insights of cultural anthropology.

Violent Turns: Sources, Interpretations, Responses

The aim of this international conference is to provide researchers with an interdisciplinary platform to investigate and debate the question of contemporary irruptions of political violence and to inquire into the different responses intended to counteract violence. When and why do individuals, groups, and societies come to believe that peaceful means and legal avenues of redress, including non-violent civil disobedience, are insufficient or improper to achieve a social or political goal and to view violent action as morally legitimate and necessary for change? Can one identify trends shaping recourse to violence by parts of the populace? What role does state violence play in the dialectic? When, if ever, is political violence legitimate? How can violence be averted?
