  Fredric Jameson, French

  Jameson en France, la France en Jameson : du XIXe siècle à nos jours

  Le 22 septembre 2024 est décédé Fredric Jameson, le plus grand penseur marxiste américain de la littérature et de la culture. De nombreux hommages ont été rendus à cet auteur d’une trentaine de livres et de douzaines d’articles, sur la littérature, la psychanalyse, la philosophie, le cinéma… pour ne citer que quelques pôles de sa recherche. Nous souhaiterions marquer l’anniversaire de sa mort par un colloque commémorant son œuvre et se focalisant plus particulièrement sur son rapport aux pensées, aux littératures, et au champ intellectuel français.

  Intermelodicity in the Caribbean Musical Repertoire

  Archipélies N° 20 – Décembre 2025

  This issue of Archipélies offers a multidisciplinary, cross-disciplinary approach to the process of artistic creation, which often involves, consciously or unconsciously, borrowing, reworking, imitating, appropriating and re-appropriating. Where many will use plagiarism, others will see original works as a constant source of creative renewal. This is where the notion of intermixing comes in. If in literature we speak of intertextuality, in musicology we should use the term intermelodicity.

  Spatialities and Color

  This symposium offers an exploration of the many facets of color, intimately linked to diverse conceptions of spatialities/spaces. Through a series of presentations, we aim to highlight the complex relationship between the color studied and the space considered, by examining how these concepts influence and transform each other. The expected contributions define how color shapes our perception of space, and how space influences our experience of color, offering a situated view of color.

  (Re)Connecting River and City - The Seine in Paris and the Ile-de-France

  A Model for Nature Positive Approaches in World Heritage Cities for Climate Resilience

  À l’heure du changement climatique, il est urgent de repenser la relation des habitants et du patrimoine bâti avec les rivières, les mers et les autres étendues d’eau. Les approches écosystémiques peuvent aider à (re)créer des espaces habitables, durables et justes, en accord avec des pratiques historiques, tout en protégeant, en adaptant et en apprenant de l’histoire et du patrimoine. Le patrimoine parisien des rives de la Seine offre une étude de cas précieuse pour explorer à la fois les défis et les opportunités de vivre avec l’eau.

  Architecture as a project for society: the teaching of Giancarlo De Carlo, twenty years after his death

  The aim of the call (papers and posters) is to update and put into perspective the teaching of the architect Giancarlo De Carlo, twenty years after his death. By reconnecting with the roots of a way of thinking that closely links theory and practice, the aim is to situate De Carlo's contributions within the theoretical and methodological debates of his time and to place his legacy in the context of the debates and practices that question the evolution of architectural education and their links (or lack of links) with contemporary professional practices. The combination of these two objectives should make it possible to open up a more global debate on the development of architectural education in the face of global changes.

  The Construction of Latin-American Historiography: An Inter-Cultural Dialogue

  In the field of architecture and urban history, the issue of cultural transfers has become a significant theme in the discipline, discussing the artifact in the space —i. e., the architectural object or the urban fabric— considering different mediations, from the circulation of images or printed texts to the circulation of practitioners. Nevertheless, the same approach can be applied to the writing of history itself,. This call for papers does not discuss the artifact but intends to question Latin America’s architecture, urban and landscape historiographical operations that covered the long interval from the colonial period to the end of the 20^th century.

  Le commerce et ses représentations. L’activité marchande dans les arts et l’architecture aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles

  Trade and its representations. commercial activity in art and architecture during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries

  During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the many transformations and significant expansion of commercial activities led to the diversification of consumption and the expansion of commercial areas. These phenomena reflected improvements in transport conditions, better organisation of trade networks and the resources of capitalism. The images and literature related to the world of commerce diversified and transformed society’s perception of this practice and its players (pedlars, itinerant merchants, manufacturers, wholesalers, entrepreneurs, etc.). How do the representations of these places of professional sociability reflect these societal changes?

  “Teaching the Manner of Performing all Steps…” The Technical Dance Treatises (1700-1750)

  International conference Celebrating the 300th anniversary of the publication of “Le Maître à danser” by Pierre Rameau (1725)

  The year 2025 will mark the 300^th anniversary of the publication of a major work for the understanding of the dance of the 18^th century: The Dancing-Master which Teaches the Manner of Performing all the Different Steps in Dancing in All Regularity of the Art and How to Move the Arms with Each Step by Pierre Rameau (1674-1748). On the anniversary of this publication, we wish to review the history and the content of the Maître à danser, but also the circumstances of its creation, situating it more generally in the history of treatises on dance technique during the first half of the 18^th century. The conference will also cover practices of which the treatise merely bears traces of, which have only been revealed in recent research. The objective of this colloquium will thus be twofold: To gain a fuller picture of the role of this work in the 18^th century and its effects on current practices in the reconstruction of Early Dance.

  Counter-Hegemonic Discourses in the Indian Ocean and in Africa: Thinking and Writing a Shared World?

  One of the major questions brought up by this conference is to understand how these discourses – which pursue the emancipation and decolonization of both the Indianoceanic and African thought and a re-evaluation of the notion of creolization, whether explicitly mentioned or underlying – can help to shape new “relationalities”. Could they establish new fields of force between the islands of the Indian Ocean and the African continent? This conference invites interdisciplinary perspectives to examine how these various forms of discourse attempt to deconstruct dominant ideologies, and social-cultural structures and norms. Do these discursive constructions and strategies reflect a desire to bring the islands of the Indian Ocean closer to Africa, and to seek a reappraisal of their shared history?

The junior laboratory GRAPHÉ (Research Group on Philological and Human Action through an Epistemological Prism) was founded at Université Jean Monnet in Saint-Étienne in 2024. It aims at conducting an incipient, interdisciplinary study of the ways in which languages influence and are influenced by human actions. After an initial symposium in October 2024 dedicated to the interpenetration of language and politics, we now wish to organize a conference focusing on language in all its newest forms, by confronting it with the latest analytical prisms and methods of study.
