Mexican perspectives of France and the United States, 1821-1950
Le colloque programmé vise à analyser les représentations des voyageurs mexicains sur l'autre monde, la France et les États-Unis, pays visités par d'innombrables personnalités politiques et intellectuelles, ainsi que par des témoins anonymes, depuis l'indépendance du Mexique au milieu du XXe siècle. Nous tenterons de déchiffrer ces témoignages mexicains à caractère privé et intime (épistolaires, mémoires, journaux intimes...) sans exclure les chroniques et documents publiés dans la presse sur le monde français et américain entre 1821 et 1950. Comment ces voyageurs, touristes cosmopolites, exilés politiques, artistes en herbe, diplomates ont-ils transcrit leur vision de l'autre, français ou américain ?

National identities and regional identities in the French-speaking space
Europe and North America from the 1960s to the present day
Après les premières vagues de revendications identitaires du tournant des XIXe et XXe siècles, puis de l’entre-deux-guerres, les années 1960 voient la renaissance et la multiplication des mouvements d’affirmation particulariste en Europe comme en Amérique du Nord. Nous nous limiterons ici aux espaces de la francophonie, qui offrent un vaste champ d’études cohérent, mais cela n’empêchera pas – elle sera bien au contraire encouragée – une mise en perspective grâce à l’étude succincte d’autres aires géographiques et civilisationnelles.

CoSPoF-SQSP conference 2017
Depuis les années 2000, la montée en puissance des pays émergents a modifié les rapports de force au sein du système de gouvernance économique mondiale. Dans un monde de plus en plus multipolaire, les politiques extérieures des principaux pays émergents visent davantage à légitimer leur statut de puissances régionales qu’à promouvoir un multilatéralisme véritablement démocratique. Dans ce contexte d’évolution des rapports de force internationaux, cet atelier pose la question de l’impact de la montée en puissance des pays émergents sur la gouvernance économique et les régulations commerciales et financières internationales.

Immigration in the Electoral Rhetoric of the Americas
While immigration has always been an important issue in the election debates, the current centrality of this topic invite us to question its rhetoric power (evocative terms, objectives pursued, instrumental efficiency…). Beyond the political scenes of Canada and United States (main arenas), will also be considered critical readings of electoral experiences in the Latin-American political world. This workshop will aim to shed the light on this matter in order to question (through politics, sociology, economics, law, history…) the reminiscence of what seems to be a modern form of identity resurgence in a specific framework: the electoral arena campaign, a real national trajectory catalyst.

Towards Dystopian Democracies in Europe and the USA?
From Prejudice in Immigration Policies to Mass Surveillance in Counterterrorism Operations
Developments of democracy in Europe and the USA have followed mutually influencing paths over the past two centuries. From the declarations of rights to the establishment of democratic institutions after WWII, these regions have built their governments on the foundation of human rights protection. These foundations have now been weakened by the responses to a number of challenges, in particular immigration and counter-terrorism.

Cette journée d’étude vise à présenter une mise au point des avancées historiographiques. L’événement viendra également inaugurer le volet recherche du Centre interordre d’études louisianaises de l’université de Sherbrooke et du Cégep de Sherbrooke.

Spaces and cultural issues in Louisiana
From its foundation to today
Depuis le XVIIIe siècle, la Louisiane a occupé et investi des espaces variés ; espaces géographiques, mais également symboliques. Si la Louisiane coloniale représente un espace souvent indéfini, mouvant et immense, la Louisiane post-1803 s'avère beaucoup plus restreinte, contenue dans un État bien distinct. Qu'il soit clairement défini ou non, l’espace louisianais s’est toujours caractérisé par une multiplicité de rencontres et d’échanges ; religieux, linguistiques, ethniques ou encore politiques. C’est un espace subdivisé en zones urbaines et rurales toujours connectées à un monde atlantique en perpétuelle redéfinition qui, comme l’a récemment formulé Cécile Vidal, devient un véritable carrefour transatlantique. La diversité et la complexité des espaces et des expériences en Louisiane ont soulevé et soulèvent encore aujourd’hui bien des enjeux en histoire culturelle.

American Art in Dialogue with Africa and the African Diaspora
Since the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, Africa has played an important — albeit shifting, contested, and often unseen — role in the history of art of the United States. Conference organizers seek original, innovative scholarship investigating heretofore unexamined aspects of this transatlantic dialogue, from the visual culture of slavery and abolitionism to American modernism; from the Black Arts Movement to the contemporary art world. -
