  Enemy

  Contemporary Societies and Domestic Threats

  This colloquium proposes to examine, from an interdisciplinary perspective, contemporary societies' relationship to internal threats. What happens when individuals, groups or segments of the population threaten to use violence, or actually do so, by turning against other groups or the state? What happens when the state itself goes 'into battle' by targeting groups and confronting them as 'enemies'? These situations cover a large number of historical experiences, which are at first sight irreducible and incommensurable, and are even more difficult to define given that their qualifications are almost always matters of struggle between the actors involved. This conference aims at bringing them together, gathering and confronting investigations devoted to sequences of this type in order to question these situations of hostility.

  Museology and Film: Contemporary Perspectives

  Depuis une trentaine d’années, la question des relations entre cinéma et musées est régulièrement posée au sein du monde académique. Afin d’explorer les différentes approches théoriques et analytiques au prisme desquelles ces relations peuvent être étudiées, ce numéro se structurera autour de trois axes : l’histoire des musées et des expositions de cinéma (1), les formes contemporaines de l’exposition de ce dernier (2), l’analyse de la muséalité grâce aux fictions filmiques (3). Dans leurs propositions, les auteurs sont encouragés à mettre en lumière de nouveaux corpus, en traitant des multiples aspects du phénomène muséal, de films rarement abordés ou d’aires géographiques moins traitées dans la bibliographie spécifique au thème du numéro.

  The Spaces of the Sacred

  The Spaces of the Sacred offers a space for reflection and debate for anyone who understands sacred spaces as laboratories for architectural, urban and landscape research. This definition includes places of worship, funerary spaces and memorial spaces, as well as urban spaces and related landscapes. Defining sacred spaces as a laboratory implies studying both the design and the reuse of cult spaces.

  Theory and practice of nudges: legal and political issues

  “Nomopolis” Journal

  This first issue of the journal Nomopolis (Centre Jean Bodin, University of Angers) aims to examine the issues at stake in the theory and practices of nudges through the prism of law and political science. Nudges are used to encourage people to adopt a “good” behaviour. The aim is to characterise nudges from a legal point of view as well as to examine the issues of jurisdictional control, transparency and manipulation raised by their use, particularly in the context of public policies.

  The Sociology of Contemporary Art

  Appel à contribution de la revue Marges (n°38)

  Peut-être plus que d’autres époques de l’histoire des arts plastiques, l’art contemporain semble appeler l’analyse sociologique. De fait, les dernières années ont vu se multiplier les recherches sur l’art moderne et contemporain inspirées par les méthodes de la sociologie de l’art ou de l’histoire sociale de l’art. Mais cette orientation est encore loin d’être courante, dans une discipline, l’histoire de l’art, qui a une longue tradition de défiance vis-à-vis des sciences sociales. Réciproquement, les sociologues sont relativement peu nombreux à s’aventurer sur le terrain de l’art contemporain. Cette journée d’étude entend donc encourager le développement d’une spécialité encore en devenir et les confrontations de points de vue entre disciplines et courants théoriques.

  Protestant Revival Movements in the Francophone World (Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Pacific)

  Origins, Currents, Developments and Diversification from the Nineteenth Century to the Present

  This Congress, intends to broaden that research to include, in addition to Europe, Francophone Africa and Madagascar, Asia, the Caribbean and the Pacific. From the beginning of the nineteenth century, this geographical and linguistic area (like others) has been to the benefit of the deployment of revival movements through mission. These movements have generated new Christendoms and ecclesial communities, many of which have emancipated themselves from inherited/exported models. Awakenings have taken specific forms and diversified. Persons and groups within traditional cultures and religions have shaped new antitheses (rupture) and/or syntheses (continuity). These Réveil/Revival influenced forms and visions have enriched the world’s religious heritage. This conference will give attention to the origins, currents, development, and diversification of the Réveil/Revival movements/networks/traditions from the Nineteenth Century to the Present, focusing on the Francophone world.

  Music Across Borders

  Artists, Industries and Representations in and beyond Europe

  In recognition of the ease with which music crosses political, geographical and temporal borders, both by design and more informally, our conference scrutinizes the reasons for and consequences of this movement and exchange, in Europe or between Europe and other continents, without disregarding the struggles and tensions that sometimes emerge when music endeavours or threatens to go beyond those borders.

  Art’s Concern

  Towards New Alternative Thinking Spheres

  We believed that aesthetics is a way of cutting any crisscrossing between cultural roles and social discrimination ones. The problem today and post to the state of great confusion quite salient in self-shaking state, has become intense. We consequently must deliver art from aesthetics not as a discourse but as an identification system that aesthetics put it on art. The question is how to interpret “art concern” as one of the main crises? Art is losing its strongholds; it has become hard for art to preserve its place within cultural production.

  “The War Has Taken Place”

  « Chiasmi International » - Numéro 25

  Dans son article intitulé « La guerre a eu lieu », paru dans le premier numéro des Temps modernes au lendemain du second conflit mondial, Maurice Merleau-Ponty décrivait différents aspects caractérisant la vie d’avant-guerre en France face à la possibilité d’un conflit déclenché par l’expansionnisme allemand : insouciance, incrédulité, méfiance envers « la politique », individualisme. En outre, il y soulignait les différentes attitudes qui avaient mûri sous l’occupation nazie (impossibilité de « rester neutres », nouvelle idée – non plus individualiste – de la liberté, engagement), tout en identifiant leurs conséquences sur les temps à venir (conscience du poids de l’histoire, des institutions, « de nos rapports multiples avec autrui et avec le monde »). Merleau-Ponty nous léguait ainsi des réflexions précieuses que nous sommes sollicités à reprendre et réélaborer aujourd’hui à l’aune de la guerre en Ukraine déclenchée par l’invasion russe unanimement et légitimement condamnée.

  The fragment and its rhythms

  Writing practices, sites of thought, acts of resistance

  The 2023 edition of Post-Scriptum’s conference aims to explore the possibilities, limits and singularities of a fragmentation of discourse, be it narrative, poetical or critical. Through this conference’s various contributions, we would like to reflect on the following questions: what is produced by such a shattering of discourse? Does the fragmentary form create an opening, give motion to creativity? Offering a different epistemology, outside of the frame, can the fragment disturb an intellectual or creative landscape? Can it give the opportunity to retake speech, or give power to rewritings and counter-speeches?

  Brazil, an independent country ?

  Rethinking “dependency theory” 200 years after 1822

  On the occasion of the bicentennial of Brazil’s proclamation of independence (September 7,1822), this conference examines the paradigm of “dependency theory.” We will consider both how Brazilian intellectuals contributed to dependency theory and what their analyses offer for thinking about Brazil’s independence and place in the world today. The oeuvre of Brazilian dependentistas insisted on the impossibility of understanding the history of Brazil and Latin America without considering the complex dynamics between the national and the international, between domestic political and economic structures and the broader world system of which they were part. This conference, 200 years after Brazil’s formal independence, evaluates the promise and limitations of their analysis, at once historicizing dependency theory and using the authors associated with it to better understand the present.

  Spotlight on the mine

  When cinema and literature take hold of the subject

  As part of the exhibition organised around this theme, the Centre Historique Minier has launched a call for papers for an international conference Spotlight on the mine, when cinema and literature take hold of the subject. In the contemporary era, mining has formed the subject of numerous artistic performances, particularly in the fields of writing and literature (mine novel, testimony, poetry, comic strip …), on the one hand, as well as in the world of cinema and audiovisual arts (fiction, documentary, animated film …). These representations have served as a place of artistic innovation, as well as a medium for mass culture (which developed alongside the mining industry), to such an extent that veritable sub-genres (the mine novel, the mine film) have been created, each with their own archetypes.
