Political Speeches in Film

In 1970, Michel Foucault highlighted the links between discourse and power in his inaugural lecture at the Collège de France. This issue is also found in films. Even though Costa-Gavras has stated that “cinema is not a political discourse but a spectacle”, it seems that political discourse and movies are closely linked. This is demonstrated by the many films in which characters speak out in public to defend a cause, exploring the very nature of politics as the art of representation. This transdisciplinary conference aims to bring together scholars from all horizons to explore, in the words of Hannah Arendt, politics as “a space between people”, and its two-way relationship with movies through speeches.

The Functions of Surrealism

As part of the celebrations for the centenary of Breton’s first Manifesto of Surrealism (1924), the Conference will explore the functions of Surrealism in aesthetic, poetic, ethical, and political terms, examining the Movement’s impact on several fields of knowledge. Going beyond the divisive approach either praising or criticising the Movement, the conference intends to explore Surrealism with a pragmatic approach, focussing on the variety of its effects. The focus will thus be on Surrealism as a cultural object, in the perspective of tracing a history of the narratives of the Movement with the aim less of assessing their “truth” but rather of understanding their scopes and assumptions. The approach will allow to reconsider the several forms of reception of Surrealism with a novel and interdisciplinary methodology, thus suggesting new reconsideration of the legacy of the Movement.

Project manager for the project "The reception of ancient Greece in pre-modern French literature and illustrations of manuscripts and printed books (1320-1550): how invented memories shaped the identity of European communities"

ERC Advanced Grant 2020 AGRELITA

Les études des premiers siècles de la réception de l’Antiquité grecque en Europe occidentale pré-moderne ont porté jusqu’ici quasi exclusivement sur la transmission des textes grecs antiques aux XV^e et XVI^e siècles, le renouveau de l’enseignement du grec, les éditions des textes grecs et les travaux latins des humanistes hellénistes. Néanmoins dans les siècles qui précèdent, malgré la perte quasi générale de la maîtrise du grec et de la majorité des œuvres grecques, la Grèce ancienne n’était pas méconnue ni ignorée. Des traductions arabo-latines de textes grecs ont vu le jour, mais aussi, pour des publics plus larges et à partir de sources diverses, de nombreuses œuvres vernaculaires ont élaboré de riches représentations de la Grèce ancienne. Or leur étude n’a jamais été menée. Se situant aux frontières des études littéraires, de l’histoire du livre et de l’histoire de l’art, l’ambition d’AGRELITA est ainsi d’étudier les appropriations littéraires et artistiques de la Grèce ancienne par des auteurs qui, des années 1320 à 1550, n’ont pas été en contact direct avec les œuvres grecques. Le project manager vient en appui au porteur du projet pour l’accompagner dans la mise en œuvre de celui-ci.

Considering the language(s) : power and limitations

GRAPHÉ, our junior research laboratory, will hold its first symposium. This symposium is open to junior as well as experienced researchers and mainly aims at understanding and analysing the ways in which language can be manipulated in contexts of power. It welcomes researchers from various disciplines and fields of study wishing to work on vastly different eras and places, so that the approaches may be diverse and echo one another in a fruitful discussion. As the laboratory also engages in an epistemological approach, the symposium will enable the participants to take part in a questioning of the means and methods available to researchers in order to perceive the tangibility of actions through language.

“Fantasy Art and Studies” Journal

Branchiflora, athelas, feainnewedd or rougeoyeur: these are the names of some of the imaginary plants that grow in fantasy worlds. Whether marvellous or not, invented from scratch or borrowed from our reality, flora plays a part in the world-building process. As a constituent element of the xeno-encyclopaedia of a work, it enriches a fictional world, giving it depth and enabling readers to better imagine the space in which they are immersed. The 17th issue of Fantasy Art and Studies aims to explore the flora in fantasy works.

Rebuilding a History: Indigenous books and print material in Québec

Mémoires du livre/Studies in Book Culture, vol. 16-no. 1 / Spring 2025

Shedding light on the stakes involved in Indigenous print material and books from the perspective of a history of the book captures the colonial dynamics at work in this literary milieu while highlighting the decolonization movements also taking place there. Despite significant increases in facilities and events dedicated to Indigenous books and print material, up until now few academic works have addressed the historic and contemporary dynamics around the field of Indigenous books in Québec. It is these dynamics that the present issue of Mémoires du livre / Studies in Book Culture aims to address.

In Relation to Life

Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

La relationalité, en tant que concept et cadre théorique, est devenue une composante essentielle dans les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines. Son importance transversale se manifeste dans sa description comme un changement de paradigme dans les sciences, un tournant relationnel dans la philosophie et la théorie, et une nouvelle finalité de la politique. Ce colloque vise à établir des liens entre les sciences, théories et politiques contemporaines en se concentrant sur les différentes façons dont ces dernières abordent et intègrent la relationalité biologique, comprise comme l'enchevêtrement des entités vivantes entre elles à différentes échelles (cellulaire, physiologique, multi-espèces, écosystémique, planétaire, etc.) et avec des entités non vivantes (polluants, machines, matière elle-même, etc.).

Amplified liturgies. The new musical ecosystems of religion

Revue « Archives de sciences sociales des religions »

This special issue will employ empirical fieldwork and social science tools to analyze the use of sound amplification and its supports in devotional settings. This includes loudspeakers, screens, video-projectors, mixing desks, digital audio stations, the architecture of places of worship. The aim is to identify its varying modalities. How do music and its amplification affect liturgies, participants, and forms of experience, socialization and authority?

European ecofeminism(s)

Depuis près de dix ans, des chercheuses de l’ILLE s’intéressent à l’écriture du Féminin à travers des sujets comme l’apprentissage du devenir féminin, le crime et son interrogation selon son genre, son origine, son parcours de vie. Les profonds changements dans la conception du monde et de l’environnement bouleversent ce thème, le prolongent et le font évoluer. Les structures asymétriques du pouvoir restent : les femmes dont la vie et l’action sont encore, malgré les progrès sociaux, souvent assimilés à une mise sous tutelle ou une mise hors champ, sont encore aujourd’hui dans la lutte contre le patriarcat et la domination masculine. Mais quel est l’apport de la perspective écologique dans ce domaine ? Depuis plus de trente ans, de nombreuses études internationales montrent un parallèle entre le traitement du féminin et de l’écologie, la pensée de la nature et du féminin connaissant le même combat dans l’écoféminisme.

His verbis exprime luctum

Media, Style, and Uses of Funerary Poetry (9th-12th Cent.)

The passing of someone gives rise to a variety of written productions, especially poetic compositions: laments (planctus), epitaphs, and titles of mortuary rolls. At first sight, the distinctive feature of funerary poetry is thematic: death underpins its unity. Despite their discursive proximity, funerary poems distinguish themselves through the means of both formal (metrical, rhythmic poetry, or oral performance) and material criteria (codex, rotulus, stone). The aim of these sessions is to study poetic expressions of mourning in the light of their medium, their style and their usage. Our purpose is to question the notion of funerary poetry through the study of its various poetic manifestations, while pondering its production and reception: what are the precursory elements? What remains the same over the course of the following centuries? Why is it more appropriate to talk about a transformation or a clear break?

Otherness in Focus: The Conceptualisation of the Other in Contemporary Thought (Orient/Occident)

Set within an interdisciplinary perspective, this conference raises questions around otherness and its representations in contemporary thought between the Orient and the Occident. Studies devoted to the question of otherness and its corollaries – alienation, discrimination, inclusion and exclusion – are considerably important and their potential has nourished scientific reflexion and drawn extensive attention on the part of authors, sociologists, journalists, political scientists and ethnologists. Such representations of the image of the Other are shaped by imaginaries that feed partly upon the perceptions of the historical past, that of colonialism and imperialism, and partly from newly-born representations with the advent of this third millennium.

The intimate and the public

The face in 18th and 19th century public sculpture in France and in the German sphere

This study day devoted to sculpture will focus on one element in particular: the face. As an essential part of the sculpted figure, the face has the dual role of enabling identification and expression. This dual role became more apparent in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of portraiture, as well as the interest in the inner self and more broadly, the intimate. The aim of this exhibition is to draw a parallel between two contradictory concepts : the intimate and the public. As sculpture is the art par excellence of the public space, the aim is to confront the face, which is intimate, with the imperatives of public sculpture. The aim of this study day is to examine the representation of the face in Franco-German public sculpture in the 18th and 19th centuries, analysing its theories, practices, techniques, possible typologies and the way it is perceived by the viewer.
