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?

Thirty (30) social scientists' proposals for Cameroon's emergence by 2030

La Faculté des Arts, Lettres et Sciences Humaines de l'Université de Yaoundé 1, cherche à mobiliser à l'occasion de ce colloque l'ensemble des disciplines traitant des humanités qu'elle abrite en son sein. Le colloque reste cependant ouvert aux contributions extérieures, venant du reste du Cameroun ou de l'étranger. Pour être en cohérence avec le cap gouvernemental de 2030, seulement trente des meilleures propositions reçues seront sélectionnées. L'ambition de développement fixé par le Cameroun appelle à l'excellence. L'université mieux que quiconque doit y montrer la voie. On attend donc des propositions originales avec un fort potentiel d'opérationnalisation; susceptibles de briser une fois pour toute, ce préjugé ancré dans les imaginaires et qui fait des humanités des sciences du discours et non d'action transformationnelle.

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.

Current Situation and New Challenges

The functions of museums, as they have developed since their inception in the 18th century, are largely based on collections of material objects. The principle of accumulation, on which this logic is based, presupposes the creation of storage to house objects that are not on public display and the constitution of databases, whether tangible or intangible, to enable the development of knowledge. For a long time, museum functions have revolved around the information-bearing object, and the functional model of preservation, research and communication associated with the collection. Since the 1960s, the evolution of the museum world has led to a rethinking of the museum in terms of its socializing function, a "forum" at the service of society and its development. Today, for a large number of establishments, exhibition spaces or reception and entertainment areas are regarded as essential as the collections. This new concept of museum introduces the idea of storage as a space deeply connected with all museum activities and also allows for the rotation and renovation of collections on public display.

The precious object: a total social fact?

Social, political, religious, symbolic, commercial: the multiple functions, roles and representations of precious objects

Over the centuries and across the globe, precious objects – and jewelry in particular – have given rise to a wide range of sometimes contradictory reactions, testifying to their major role in human societies. Rejected through notions of waste and luxury, admired or desired for aesthetic, symbolic, religious or economic reasons, the precious object has many functions: offering, symbol (status, power, loyalty, etc.), social or family heirloom, element of exchange and even economic driving force. If the precious object establishes a cultural and social divide, it is also subjected to imitation or reproduction, making it a fashionable, “mass-market” object. But what properties determine the value of precious objects?

Pastoral Academies. A global Phenomenon?

At the intersection between literature and socio-cultural history, but also between methods, the comparative and the historical-philological approach, this conference offers an opportunity for the study traditions of several countries, including France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Poland, to come together around a relatively new research subject: the pastoral academy. Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, throughout Europe and even in Latin America, writers, poets and scholars, men and women, took on the names of shepherds in pastoral literary academies. While some of these academies are well known (the Accademia dell'Arcadia in Rome, the Pegnesische Blumenorden in Nuremberg), the phenomenon was on an unsuspected scale and deserves to be explored in its global dimension.

Art as Philosophy? The Reception of German Idealism and Early Romanticism by artists, from the 19th century to the present day

While the philosophical reception of German Idealism and Early Romanticism has been the subject of a number of studies, research so far has given little attention to the question of its knowledge and use by artists. The aim of the conference is to open up a space for interdisciplinary dialogue, informed by case studies, on the role that the discovery of Classical German Philosophy has played in European and American visual arts, from the early nineteenth century to the present day.

In Relation to Life

Biological Relationality in Contemporary Science, Theory, and Politics

Relationality as a concept and a framework has become an essential component of contemporary science, theory and politics. Its transversal importance has been evidenced through its qualification as a paradigm shift in the science, as a relational turn in philosophy and theory, and as a new end goal of politics. This conference aims at creating bridges between contemporary science, theory, and politics through focusing on the various ways they approach and integrate biological relationality, understood as the entanglement of living entities with each other at different scales (cellular, physiological, multispecies, ecosystemic, planetary, etc.) and with nonliving entities (pollutants, machines, matter itself, etc.).

Language & Power

5th young researchers Symposium ICODOC

If language can exercise power, power can reciprocally manifest itself through language practices. It is, among other things, from an institutional point of view that the problematic of an “order of discourse” has been approached. Based on the effects of the performativity of language, the symbolic value attributed to it, and the patterns of domination conveyed by language, the research has shown that power is not an inherent characteristic of individuals, but is linked to the communication situations that imply it, especially in the institution. The legitimacy of language practices, far from being natural, is constructed by social norms and rituals which do not, however, erase the agentivity of individuals. These few thoughts raise the following questions: who exercises power and how? In what way(s) is power transmitted through language? How is legitimate language constructed and reproduced?
