  ReThinking Europe in Scandinavia and the Baltic Sea Region

  The 11th annual international conference on Nordic and Baltic Studies

  Brexit has just happened and its consequences are not yet fully comprehended. Would the outcome be a return to a status quo ante the Brentry of 1 January 1973 in British-EU relations? Would Britain become a sort of bigger Norway tightly connected to the EU, but yet not fully a member of the united organization? Would Britain really continue to exist as such? Would Scotland, not to mention other territories, emulate London and decide on their own Brexit, this time from the United Kingdom, in order to rejoin the EU? Would actually Brexit become a pathway for other skeptical EU nations? Would Brexit rocket exclusive forms of nationalisms? Would the whole of united Europe collapse, on the long run, as a result of Brexit as the League of Nations had become toothless after the US Senate had vetoed the Pact of League of Nations? But what effect is going to have Brexit on Scandinavian countries which historically have been closely connected to Britain? How is it reflected in Scandinavian intellectual milieus, in mass-media, in public discourses? What about the Baltic states which received a strong support from Britain in key moments of their history, for instance when Royal Navy came at the rescue of Estonian and Latvian independence following World War I or in the process of re-enactment of Baltic sovereignty after the collapse of the Soviet Union?

  « Wanderlust » : l’art total de Björk

  Le parcours de Björk se distingue par un renouvellement constant et un naturel expérimental toujours inscrit dans un format de chanson aux émotions directes. Née en 1965 à Reykjavik en Islande, Björk grandit au sein d’une communauté hippie. Pour apprendre le piano et la flûte, sa mère l’inscrit en école de musique où elle découvre en parallèle de sa passion pour la pop des Beatles ou de Chaka Khan, la musique de Karlheinz Stockhausen ou Claude Debussy. Cet héritage entre cultures savante et populaire se cristallise en 1997 sur son album Homogenic, salué par la critique et le public comme l’une de ses plus grandes réussites. Son corpus d’albums ne saurait pour autant être résumé à la période des années 1990, la plus célébrée commercialement, puisque son évolution au XXI^e siècle témoigne d’une vision esthétique en perpétuelle mutation et toujours inclassable. Les intervenant·e· sont invités à proposer une analyse critique de l’ensemble de l’œuvre de Björk.

  Beyond soft power: The stakes and configurations of the influence of contemporary Turkey in the world

  This workshop will explore the theme of Turkish political and cultural influence in the world, exploring scientific debates on the topic of “soft power” and its applicability to contemporary Turkey. This workshop aims at raising several questions: To what extent is the concept of “soft power” adequate to characterize Turkey’s influence and its weaknesses both on the international stage and towards its neighboring countries? Reciprocally, how can the analysis of the different patterns of Turkey’s influence help us question the concept of “soft power”, and to come up with other notions?
