    Defining what is right

    Politics of demarcation and the radical right in post-war Europe

    Discrimination – in its literal sense of drawing distinctions – is at the core of right-wing politics. The demarcation of people along imagined and uneven, hierarchical lines may be its key feature, yet one particular demarcation has so far escaped scholarly attention: The inner right’s self-definition, not as a nation, race, or Volk, but as a political movement and a coherent political thought, and its answer to the question of who is part of it and who is not. This process, though largely overlooked, can be seen as a particularly fraught one – at least for the right-wing movements of post-war Europe, which were not only faced with the tasks of shedding the devastating legacy of fascism, rearranging ideological fragments, and creating new self-attributions, agendas, and alliances. They also did so under the watchful eye of post-war societies and institutional actors, who themselves had strong motivations for defining what is (radically) right.

  • Seminar - Information

    Médiamerica 2024-25

    Communication, Information, Politics and Culture in the U.S.

    Médiamerica is a seminar on American news media organized by researchers working in France. Its aim is to cultivate research on the links between communication, politics, culture, and the processes by which information is produced, circulated, and given form, focusing on the North American context. Médiamerica brings together researchers with varied backgrounds to explore these issues from both historical and contemporary perspectives. The seminar offers a space for scholarly reflection and debate, to consider emergent phenomena in news and communication, as well as the ways in which the academic community on both sides of the Atlantic conceptualize such phenomena. This initiative seeks to build bridges between anglophone studies and communication studies, encouraging dialogue between different methodological approaches and benefiting from an intercultural perspective.

    Expériences & savoirs expérientiels

    Séminaire scientifique interdisciplinaire EXPAIRs 2024-25

    En France, plusieurs traditions intellectuelles se sont intéressées aux productions des personnes vivant des expériences en lien avec la maladie chronique, le handicap, des troubles de santé mentale, la vie à la rue, des addictions. Suivant les périodes historiques et les perspectives analytiques, ces productions ont été qualifiées de croyances, de représentations sociales, de théories profanes, etc. Aujourd’hui, le concept de savoir expérientiel fiat florès, sans pour autant faire consensus sur son sens.

    Médias et liberté d’expression dans le monde des années 1980 à nos jours : progrès ou régression ?

    En 2025, Reporters sans frontières fêtera son quarantième anniversaire, marqué par l’organisation du transfert de ses archives à La Contemporaine : bibliothèque, archives, musée des mondes contemporains, et leur future ouverture à la recherche. Cet anniversaire doit être l’occasion de revenir non seulement sur l’histoire de RSF mais aussi sur les rapports complexes entre médias, au sens large du terme, pouvoirs, dans leur diversité, et organisations qui défendent les droits humains et, plus spécifiquement, la liberté d’expression dans le monde.

    Insects, “bichos” and other “bugs” in the literature of the Americas (19th to 21st centuries)

    “Amerika” n°29

    This call aims to bring together works that question the representation of insects and other “bichos” in literature aimed primarily at young people, in the Americas. Scrutinized especially through the prism of European culture, the insect appears small, repugnant, sometimes useful (the bee), sometimes an example of tenacity and courage (the ant). What about its place in the American space? Do indigenous cultures deploy discourses and images referring to a unique relationship to the world of “bugs”, different from or linked to those of European cultures? How does the study of “bugs” allow us to deepen our knowledge of the relationship with nature in the Americas and to identify avenues for educational action based on works published for young people?

    Cameroun : une histoire coloniale

    Le groupe d'étude et de recherche sur la colonisation et les formes de domination en Afrique (GERCO) lance un appel à contribution pour la rédaction d’un ouvrage collectif sur le thème « Cameroun : une histoire coloniale ». C’est un projet qui vise à questionner, au-delà du statut juridique figé du territoire, la colonisation comme un phénomène historique. Au-delà des diverses approches et propositions, a-t-on véritablement interrogé les permanences et les influences du phénomène colonial ? Les héritiers de l’administration coloniale eurent-ils la volonté et les moyens d’organiser le procès de la colonisation ? Ne paraît-il pas nécessaire de s’interroger sur les goulots d’étranglement que constituent, à l’expérience, les pouvoirs politiques ?

    Quo vadis Provenance Research?

    Primary Sources and Archival Collections in Post-Unitarian Italy

    The workshop will focus on primary sources and archival collections in post-unitarian Italy, which serve as a fundamental tool for provenance research. Research projects dealing with the Italian post-unitary period up to the recent years still face the significant challenge of not only having to locate archival sources, but also of finding a way to access and consult them. The workshop aims to put this issue up for discussion and wishes to promote an open dialogue between international scholars and representatives of research institutions. The focus lies not only on traditional art historical sources such as specified libraries, photographic collections, private estates or institutional archives. It is also intended to include historical and political archives. The aim is to connect various sources and methods of archival work related to the field of provenance research and to identify potential improvements in the provision and the use of archival material (including digital data) in Italy and abroad.

    Iron Curtains or Artistic Gates?

    Communism and Cultural Diplomacy in the Global South (1945–1991 and Beyond)

    This workshop challenges traditional East-West Cold War narratives by examining the cultural interactions between communist Europe and the Global South. We will primarily focus on art, culture, and heritage as sources of new insights into historical narratives. We ask the following questions: How can artistic expression contribute to the rethinking of historical narratives? How have political circumstances shaped artistic and cultural production, and vice versa? What were the underlying power dynamics? And what are the contemporary legacies of such interactions?

    Herrmann/Horner: two Hollywood giants in the service of the emotional?

    This international symposium pays tribute to two Hollywood giants, Bernard Herrmann (1911-1975), who died on December 24, 1975 during post-production of Martin Scorcese's Taxi Driver, and James Horner (1953-2015), who was accidentally killed on June 22, 2015 while piloting one of his jets. This singular way of arousing visceral emotion or probing affects offers a possible convergence between these two Hollywood giants. Following the example of the emotional register, we could examine the various aspects of Bernard Herrmann's work that have received little attention, or focus in depth on the constituent elements of James Horner's style. These are just a few of the avenues open to us, but as this is first and foremost a tribute, the paths to be taken are multiple, depending on what the participants wish to highlight.

    New Perspectives on Travel

    Cultural Networks, Knowledge, Circulations, and Material Practices (19th and 20th Centuries)

    In the last twenty years, there have been different approaches to the topic of travel from various disciplinary fields and perspectives. This symposium aims for a multidisciplinary approach to the topic of travel, understood as the deliberate movement of an individual through space, without being physically or psychologically forced or coerced. This symposium aims to be a space of dialogue and reflection about travel, its narratives, and its written and visual depictions. We aim to foster new approaches to travel understood in its specificity vis a vis the articulation of a disciplinary field (rather than its traditional understanding as a subsidiary object to other fields of study).

    Passer les canons en revue

    Les échanges culturels dans les revues littéraires (domaines francophones, anglophones et germanophones), XIXe-XXe sièces

    Ce colloque a pour but d’étudier le rôle des revues dans l’évolution des canons littéraires et artistiques au XIXe et au XXe siècle dans les domaines francophones, anglophones et germanophones. Si les forces de réaction « trouvent des organes puissants auprès de véritables gendarmes médiatiques » (Diaz, 2014) comme les revues dominantes et institutionnelles, les forces d’évolution voire de révolution usent elles aussi de l’arme médiatique qu’est la revue. Nous aimerions proposer des journées de réflexion sur les échanges culturels au sein des revues, dans une perspective transnationale, translittéraire et pluriséculaire.
