The Pleasures of Reading: State(s) of the Art
Le sens commun nous dit que lire un texte littéraire est tout simplement et avant tout de l’ordre du plaisir (Compagnon 1998), sa réhabilitation étant dès lors aussi celle des modalités de la récupération et du renouvellement du « plaisir du texte » (Barthes 1973) et des plaisirs de lire. Même le caractère souvent ludique, ironique et citationnel de la fiction contemporaine, qui met souvent en jeu « (…) un extérieur qui se veut littéraire, il ne s’adresse qu’à des déjà lecteurs » (Demoulin 1997: 11), ne restreint pas ce plaisir, mais le déploie et le complexifie. En outre, dans un contexte amplement marqué par internet et les réseaux sociaux, on observe l’émergence et le développement de nouvelles modalités de lecture liées à l’apparition de nouveaux supports numériques, lesquels favorisent une co-élaboration du texte, et induisent une logique interactive avec de nouvelles formes de sociabilité lectrice fondées sur de nouvelles formes de partage des plaisirs de lire.

Legal and social status in contemporary Europe
The regulation of relation between the states and religious groups has often been the focus of scholarly interest, especially in the ’90s, when the so-called New Religious Movements drew a lot of attention. Nowadays, many rapid changes occurring at the same time (evolution of the religious landscape, changes in political discourses, secularisation, movements of population, etc.) encourages further consideration of the subject. With its specific approach, the Eurel network brings together specialists of law and social sciences of religion, and it intends to tackle this issue at its next conference.

Research in Medieval Studies - An International Meeting Series
The past decade has witnessed a marked increase in medieval studies. Younger scholars have, in general, benefitted from doctoral and post-doctoral funding, besides collective research programmes. This, along with the experience and know-how of established academics in countless departments around the Globe has helped to foster this renewal. Results have been ground-breaking in many topics. The Research in Medieval Studies (RiMS) is conceived of as an ongoing series of yearly meetings whose aim is to bring scholars of different academic and geographical backgrounds together to open, or otherwise continue and direct, historiographical debate on key issues in medieval studies, while helping to establish outstanding research that is both innovative and comparative.

Work, heritage and development
5th congress of the International Ergology Society
La démarche de l’ergologie offre-t-elle une approche pertinente dans le champ des questions intégrant le travail, le patrimoine et le développement ? Dans quelle mesure sa contribution est-elle singulière et innovante ? Afin d’établir un bilan et de tracer des perspectives, le principal objectif du cinquième congrès de la Société internationale d’ergologie (SIE) est de mettre en débats, au cours de trois journées, les travaux qui, en plusieurs lieux du monde, ont fait l’option de s’engager dans cette réflexion, tout en ayant parfois privilégié auparavant d’autres cadres de référence. La diversité des approches constituera un atout essentiel de cette rencontre qui se veut donc pluridisciplinaire.

Revue Laboreal journal: July 2020
Les chercheurs et intervenants qui placent l’activité réelle de travail au cœur de leurs analyses et projets d’intervention sont parfois confrontés à de nombreuses difficultés dans la conduite de leurs projets. Car l’écart entre le travail prescrit et le travail réel ne fait pas toujours partie des évidences de leurs interlocuteurs. Pourtant, toute activité humaine est inanticipable totalement, et les règles qui tentent de la normaliser sont inévitablement redéfinies dans l’exercice de l’activité elle-même. Mais cette approche de l’activité a des exigences méthodologiques : il s’agit d’ancrer les démarches dans ce qui constitue le réel des situations de travail ; et la connaissance de celui-ci exige de le mettre en débat avec celles et ceux qui, à plusieurs égards, s’y engagent. L’objectif de ce dossier est de porter dans le champ d’une réflexion collective les difficultés qui jalonnent les projets pour lesquels le travail réel ne peut être un sujet tabou.

Victor Segalen, exoticism in question
Yesterday and today, distance and proximity, similitude and otherness
À la faveur des commémorations du centenaire de la mort du romancier et poète français Victor Segalen, et alors que l’émergence, tant théorique que critique, d’une « fiction-monde » s’impose dans les études littéraires - laquelle met le comparatisme à l’épreuve et complexifie les prémisses des études postcoloniales -, et que la perspective classique dégagée par Edward W. Saïd sur le constructum de l’Orient par l’Occident ne rend plus compte, à elle seule, de l’étendue des questions soulevées par la globalisation des faits, des enjeux et des fictions, il nous semble pertinent de nous pencher, avec un recul théorique et dans un empan qui inclut les XIX, XX et XXIèmes siècles en langue française, sur la notion changeante et transversale d’« exotisme ».

Transatlantic Voices: The Literary Atlantic in Perspective
Cadernos de literatura comparada No. 40
One of the innovations in literary studies during the past few decades has been the increasing interest in aspects of the empirical universe that have been frequently approached in the literary universe. The triad, gender, race and class, or, to use more up-to-date theoretical terminology, sexualities, ethnicities, post-colonialisms and cultural studies, have long become commonplace in both theoretical works and others more focused on literary analysis and critique...We invite Literary and Cultural Studies researchers to submit papers within the scope of a Lusophone, Francophone, Hispanophone or Angolophone Literary Transatlantic

Gesture and Belief: routes, transfers and intermediality
In the last decades, the body’s role and its agency have gained new centrality in the analysis of the religious experience. Through its connection with materiality, the religious expression surpasses the spiritual to be understood as a chain of relationships and encounters between bodies, objects and sensory stimuli. Accordingly, under the premise of “routes, transfers and intermediality”, this event seeks innovative readings on subjects that discuss, question and rethink dynamics of circulation, transmission and alterity, through an exchange of ideas and objects of study, which crosses borders and disciplines.

Conference metalepsis
Metalepsis has been increasingly present in several artistic fields, by enhancing a self-reflexive porosity between narrative levels and by provoking a very special kind of ontological sliding. When Gérard Genette (1972) transferred this figure from the field of rhetoric to that of narratology, in order to describe the subversion of boundaries between narrative levels, or the non-distinction between the diegetic and extradiegetic worlds, he associated the disquieting nature of the metalepsis with the following “unacceptable and insistent” hypothesis: we, as recipients of a work structured by this narratological figure, may find ourselves in the (Borgesian) odd circumstance of noticing that the extradiagetic could already be the diegetic.

Laboreal Dossier
If human beings are the result of a historical process and not the product of a pre-established plan, it is important to emphasize the significance of cooperative actions for their preservation throughout this process. A path in which work – as a constitutive element of our species – plays a decisive role in these actions. How has cooperation been taking place in formal and informal work activities? How have the current modes of management and their evaluation and training systems contributed to the construction or weakening of cooperative acts at work? What are the requirements to build cooperation?

Digitalisation and the evolution of real work
Revue Laboreal journal. A virtual bilingual platform on real work (Spain/Portugal)
De nombreuses études montrent les changements structurels qui sont en train de se jouer dans le monde du travail en raison de l’évolution digitale. Partant de l’analyse de l’activité, ce dossier devrait contribuer à une meilleure compréhension de ce que signifie, exige et transforme, la numérisation/digitalisation - notamment sur les plans des rythmes et des espaces de travail. Les articles seront publiés dans l’édition de décembre 2018, dans l’une des langues de la revue.

Beyond the task - implicating students in foreign language learning
Impliquer les étudiants dans l'apprentissage de langues étrangères
Aujourd’hui, les études menées en neurosciences (Damásio, 1995, 1999) et la conception générale des aspects affectifs du discours scientifique lui-même (Swain, 2013; Sander, 2015) montrent que l’affect ne s’oppose pas au cognitif, au contraire, il le complète ou l’explique (Damásio, 1995). Certains chercheurs se penchent sur le rôle que jouent les émotions dans le processus d’apprentissage (Dewaele, 2010). La projection dans une langue autre implique toujours la gestion affective d’une altérité à partir du moi de l’apprenant (Coffey, 2015). La dimension affective mérite donc l’attention des chercheurs en didactique des langues.

The theme of touch in medicine - literature and art
Xe rendez-vous de la critique
Faisant suite à « Maux écrits, mots vécus. Traitements littéraires de la maladie » et à « Santé et bien-être à l’épreuve de la littérature », nous proposons d’interroger le thème du toucher au croisement de la littérature et des arts et de la médecine, l’appréhender d’un point de vue historique, symbolique et social, dans ses dimensions physique (le kinesthésique) et communicable à autrui (le kinésique). Si la question du toucher a de tous temps interpellé les formes et les pratiques, elle se trouve aujourd'hui avivée dans le cadre d’une société digitale qui reconfigure les notions de rapport, de contact, de sensation, et d’expérience. Prégnant dans les arts vivants conférant au corps une place primordiale, le toucher est également associé à la maîtrise d’une technique biomédicale, clinique et relationnelle, sur laquelle pourrons aussi nous pencher.
