“Good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere!”
Féminisme, multiculturalisme et luttes contre les intégrismes religieux
Si l’origine exacte de l’expression « good girls go to heaven, bad girls go everywhere! » est incertaine, tantôt attribuée à l’actrice et scénariste américaine Mae West tantôt à la rédactrice en chef du magazine Cosmopolitan, Helen Gurvey Brown, elle a été reprise comme slogan par les féministes qui dénoncent la double norme sexuelle imposée aux femmes par les religions. Aujourd’hui quels que soient les intégrismes religieux (catholique, protestant, islamique, juif, hindouiste, bouddhiste, orthodoxe, etc.) ils partagent tous la volonté de maîtriser le corps et la sexualité des femmes dont l’existence aurait, selon eux, pour but unique la maternité.

Importance of Minority Issues and Construction of Identity in the UK
Socio-Political Discourses in Art as a Tool and Framework for Institutions
Les présentations des participants inviteront à réfléchir à l’intersection entre l’intégration des minorités au sein de la société britannique sous le prisme de l’art, qu’ils soient populaires ou impulsés par les pouvoirs publics et à nous interroger sur l’analyse filmique des minorités en compagnie de spécialistes tels que Rosalind Galt et Karl Schoonover. Nous nous efforcerons de comprendre dans quelle mesure la culture et les arts peuvent servir un processus social d’intégration et d’inclusion des minorités, ou au contraire essentialisent les différences de l’autre. Les propositions pourront éventuellement s’intéresser aux dimensions culturelles, socio-économiques et politiques de cette intersection complexe.

Medieval Conceptions and Practices of Space
Revue « Études Médiévales Anglaises »
Though space is by no means a medieval concept (in 14th century use, the word referred primarily to time, or to an interval between two objects, rather than to the abstract idea of an extended area that can be filled or crossed), the concept in its complexity has over the last decades gained considerable critical importance in medieval studies. Medievalists have always paid attention to spatial questions, namely in the shape of inquiries into the location of national or religious communities, into medieval practices of pilgrimages, processions and travels, or into the symbolic associations of various places (the forest, the garden, the castle…).

Karl Marx and exile - new approaches
A l'occasion du bicentenaire de la naissance de Karl Marx, cet atelier transdisciplinaire, réunissant philosophes et historiens, veut s'intéresser aux multiples exils de Karl Marx dans l'Europe du XIXe siècle, en France, en Belgique mais aussi en Grande-Bretagne. Il cherche à rappeler la chronologie et la cartographie des exils européens de Marx en montrant combien ses séjours forcés à l'étranger ont pu être l'occasion d'échanges, de contacts, mais aussi d'affrontements idéologiques.

The body in law - doctoral workshops in the history and anthropology of law
Journées doctorales d'histoire et d'anthropologie du droit
Autorisation de la gestation pour autrui (GPA), statut des embryons congelés, réflexion sur l’euthanasie, légalisation de la prostitution, réattribution sexuelle, la question du corps est plus que jamais d’actualité pour le législateur, le juge et le justiciable. L’absence de consensus sur ces questionnements et les débats passionnés qu’entrainent toutes les problématiques liées au corps sont la conséquence directe de la difficulté à définir juridiquement ce concept. Nous allons modestement tenter de faire le point sur le statut juridique du corps. Pour ce faire, nous convierons l’Histoire du Droit, l’Anthropologie juridique, la Philosophie du droit et le droit positif. Surtout, tout au long de ces deux journées, nous nous transporterons en différents lieux et à différentes époques pour, au moyen de ce voyage temporel et spatial, tenter de dessiner une histoire et une géographie de l'appréciation du corps par le droit.

English journeys past and present, explorations of the condition of England
The conference will address the following hypothesis: the illustration of a certain way of being English, of a specific English way of inhabiting and making sense of the world, were given definition and cultural force through a series of writings which record the impressions of things seen in the course of a journey dedicated to the exploration of a territory, whether the land of England in its national extension or the more local territory of a particular community. The organizers are calling for papers which will examine a corpus of writing proposing a first-person observations of a condition of England at various moments in the history of a territory.

How can one assess the adhesion of individuals and social groups to the multi-ethnic and multicultural British nation of our times? Where should their identity be inscribed on the canvas of composite identities, some of which might either be regarded as tokens of tolerance and inclusion, or be considered (by others) as potential threats for the cohesion of the nation? To penetrate the deepest strata of British identity, we propose to combine the methods of research in civilization with a multi-disciplinary approach...

Stages of Utopia and Dissent, 50 years on...
15 May 1968: the Odeon theatre in Paris is occupied by students and becomes the insurgent headquarters where every night militants recount the days' action in occupied factories to an audience of people camping in the auditorium. Youth rebellion was never as mythologised as that of the French students’ fight against institutional oppression. The effects were felt across the Channel, too – but the nature of those effects was, and remains, disputed. 50 years on… where are we? What remains of autogestion and emancipatory education? What remains of theatre inventiveness and sedition? What remains of a need for participatory audiences? What remains of utopia and dissent?

The French Journal of Medieval English Studies BAM is seeking submissions for a special issue focusing on the notion of “revolution”. The word “revolution” does not appear in English before the 14th century. The word is borrowed from French revolucion, derived from the Latin revolvere. In medieval Latin the meaning of revolutio becomes both scientific and religious as it describes the movement of celestial bodies and the transmigration of souls (metempsychosis). The first known occurrence of the word “revolution” to describe an abrupt change in social order dates from 1450. However, that use does not become common until the end of the 17th century.

Electoral strategies and practices in the English-speaking world (1867-2017)
Cette journée d’étude, qui s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet transversal « Politique, discours et innovation » de l'Institut des langues et cultures d'Europe, Amériques, Afrique, Asie et Australie (ILCEA4), sera le premier volet d’une réflexion visant à confronter les stratégies et pratiques électorales dans le cadre d’une mobilisation initiale ou d’une remobilisation d’électorats dans une perspective tout d’abord « descendante », qui s’attachera aux efforts des partis politiques pour conquérir de nouveaux électeurs ou reconquérir des électeurs démobilisés ou perdus à d’autres partis, puis « ascendante » - impliquant cette fois la base, les mouvements populaires sur le terrain, du type grassroots en anglais.

Christianity, language contact, language change
The present workshop addresses questions of language contact and language change, as well as language standardization in the Christian context both in Europe and in the New World (Americas, Africa) through a study of diachronic and synchronic corpora. Special attention is paid, on the one hand, to the role of translation as a sight of language contact, and on the other hand, to register variation as an indicator of differential propagation of innovations appeared in Christian context.

Conference, symposium - Early modern
Race and Class in Britain and America, 17th-19th centuries
This conference will question how developing discourses of race came to structure the societies of Britain and America in the early modern period. It hopes to explore the way discourses of race and class interacted with each other, and how the vocabulary of social strata overlapped with the language of race. How were the bodies and minds of the upper ranks considered to differ from those of other people during these periods? How important indeed was the idea of the physical body in rank distinction, and how did this square with the notions of pure blood that underpinned both “race” and hereditary privilege? In what ways were some groups “naturally” privileged or “naturally” excluded? Were social minorities like indigents or women marginalized or stigmatized similarly to Africans or Native Americans?
