Conference, symposium - Modern
Male Bonds in Nineteenth-Century Art
The conference will probe, challenge and expand upon the academic narrative of male homosociality through the lens of art history. It aims to establish an overview of a variety of male bonds that underpinned nineteenth-century art, and to consider the theoretical and methodological implications of the study thereof. In so doing, it seeks to build a bridge between traditional art-historical scholarship and the fields of gender and gay and lesbian studies: an interdisciplinary exchange of which the full potential for scholarship on the nineteenth century remains to be exploited.

Court identities and the myth of Versailles in Europe
Perception, adherence and rejection (18th-19th centuries)
The “modern” courts in Europe included the institutional, social, societal and cultural aspects concomitant with the political affirmation of personalities emerging, by agreement or through conflict, from communities exercising power together in order to seize authority for their own personal benefit and to develop a range of encomiastic processes for their own person. In the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries, the princely courts in Europe did not confine themselves to one single paradigm. There were as many courts as there were princely houses, as many “national” types, even if some, like the Burgundian court in the 15th century and the courts in northern and central Italy in the 15th and 16th centuries, proposed models and exercised influence from one end of Europe to the other, while accommodating indigenous influences.

TaPRA Theatre, Performance and Philosophy Research Event
In On Being Included, Sara Ahmed argues that institutional commitments to diversity may be considered “non-performatives”: they do not bring about what they name. Institutions run diversity workshops and committees, outreach programmes and ‘participatory’ or ‘inclusive’ agendas, but where does the gesture stop, and where does it begin? How may we understand the choreography and the dramaturgy of institutional outreaching? How can we begin to detour this language so as to rethink the role of the university – and of artistic practice – in public life today? Does the university have a role to play in public life, and what might that be? Does this equate with ‘outreach’? What is the relationship between artistic practice and what may be termed ‘creative research’?

The memory of films in viewer narrative
Individuelle ou collective, la culture cinématographique se nourrit du souvenir des films. L’histoire du cinéma s’est d’ailleurs longtemps écrite au filtre de la mémoire des cinéphiles. Cette journée propose d’explorer ces souvenirs dans les récits de spectateurs, en s’intéressant en particulier à la manière dont ceux-ci se cristallisent (autour d’une histoire, de quelques images – fixes ou animées –, de répliques…) et dont ils témoignent d’une expérience tout à la fois singulière et partagée. Dans une perspective interdisciplinaire attentive aux questions de méthode, on cherchera ainsi à cerner comment ces souvenirs attestent et réactivent le pouvoir évocateur du cinéma.

Toward a new vision of the Great North
Cette journée d'étude aura pour but de s'interroger à l'heure actuelle sur l'existence d'un imaginaire lié au Grand Nord qui prendrait en considération les réalités scientifiques, culturelles, humaines et écologiques de ce territoire. Elle mettra en perspective d'une part les enjeux actuels de cet espace et d'autre part les représentations fantasmées de l'occident pour ce lieu. Il s'agira aussi de comprendre comment coexistent et interagissent les productions sur le Grand Nord issues de l'extérieur avec celles produites par les autochtones.

Instances of power and cultural discourse
Intercultural exchange in the age of globalization, second edition
In the context of today’s social, political and economic changes, power is one of the governing principles of culture. Power comes in many shapes and sizes and it manifests itself under various forms: it can be tyrannical or a combination of forces (Foucault); it can be charismatic, traditional and rational (Weber) or the opposite – manipulative; it can also appear as a system of diluted forces that spring from the “social field” (Bourdieu); it can remain in the unconscious or it can manifest itself in the speech act. However it may appear, it has become clear that power shapes the course of the creation, interpretation and analysis of literary texts and other cultural products.

The spread and heritage of the Enlightenment between thought and political action
Figures of public space and the representation of the other
Dans quelle mesure les Lumières doivent-elles être diffusées vers les couches sociales les moins riches et les moins instruites ? Dans quelle mesure le fait de les diffuser change-t-il leur définition même ? Ainsi s'engage, au tournant du XIXe siècle, le débat qui contribue à faire des Lumières, dans les deux siècles qui suivent, un héritage multiple et complexe, qu'il est possible d'analyser au prisme des tensions entre pensée et action, idées et réalités, théorie et pratique ou encore forme de gouvernement (Regierungsform) et manière de gouverner (Regierungsart).

Divided memories, shared memories: Poland, Russia, Ukraine
History mirrored in literature and cinema
In Central and Eastern European countries, memorial questions appeared right after the demise of the communist regimes in 1989–1991, revealing long-denied processes. The phenomenon of the rise of repressed memories along with the rewriting of history, and the political uses of the past are noticeable in Poland, Russia, and Ukraine, three countries whose histories are as often shared as their memories are divided. The “memory wars” in which these three states have sometimes been engaged since the end of the 1980s have been the subject of an abundant historiography.

Transnationalism and Modern American Women Writers
This volume of essays, which will be published in the December 2018 issue of the webjournal E-rea, discusses a broad spectrum of writing by American women who engaged with modernity and national border-crossing in ways that deepen our understanding of modernist literary production of the early and middle years of the twentieth century.

Seminar of the Praxitèle team (2017-2018)
Praxitèle s’attache à l’analyse des logiques et processus de la création, de la diffusion et des formes de médiations artistiques et culturelles. La question de la narration traverse les objets artistiques et culturels qui sont ceux des chercheur·e·s de l’équipe. La narration est autant un enjeu artistique, qui oriente la création, qu’un enjeu de médiation (culturelle, mémorielle, économique), qui accompagne la diffusion et la réception. En se saisissant de cette thématique, l’équipe souhaite rendre compte des logiques (pourquoi raconter ?) et des formes (comment raconter ?) de la narration dans les arts et la culture de la société contemporaine.

Transnational Networks and the British Empire (Ca. 18-20th centuries)
This workshop intends to bring together research scholars of history and affiliated fields working on transnational networks fostered through the British Empire. We wish to focus on how certain forms of the “empire”, the “colony”, and the “outside” mutually constituted each other. Such an approach, we believe, could illumine the dense transnational convergences that shape the political, the economic, the social, and the cultural in various locations simultaneously.

Globalised territories, deterritorialised globalisation
Transnational cinematographical dynamics
Cette journée d’études s’inscrit dans le prolongement de travaux au sein de l'équipe de recherche Médiapolis-GRECOM. Il s'agit de recherches portant sur les relations complexes entre cinéma et territoire dans un contexte d'internationalisation des industries du cinéma. Rassemblant des chercheur·e·s de parcours et d'horizons divers, l'objectif de cette journée est de proposer une réflexion collective sur les dynamiques cinématographiques transnationales. Comment décrire et définir les pratiques et processus de création symbolique qui sont rarement contenus à l’intérieur d’un espace national ? De quelles manières peut-on rendre compte du double processus de territorialisation et de déterritorialisation à l'œuvre dans les expériences cinématographiques contemporaines ?

"Neon Genesis Evangelion" - Serial configurations of contemporary science-fiction
Configuration en série d'une science-fiction contemporaine
Cette journée d’étude centrée sur la série originelle de 26 épisodes, Neon Genesis Evangelion et ses adaptations cinématographiques au statut transmédiatique indécidable (Rebuild of Evangelion), a pour projet d’en cerner, au travers de son rapport original au genre de la science-fiction, les spécificités esthétiques et politiques. De fait, il sera nécessaire de réinvestir la présence de figures particulières telles que celles des géants, de l’adolescence contrariée, de l’animalité ou encore de la solitude et de la fin de la socialité comme formes apocalyptiques...

Approches monumentales et techniques, Arras et Reims
Les doctrines et les pratiques de la restauration des monuments ont toujours été déterminées par l’origine et le caractère des dommages subis... jusqu’à l’irruption des destructions patrimoniales massives de la première guerre mondiale. Ces deux journées patrimoine Actualités sont consacrées aux enjeux et aux moyens contemporains de mise en valeur du patrimoine de la Reconstruction d’Arras et de Reims. Elles examineront aussi les enjeux de reconnaissance, dans une perspective de développement, d’un ensemble urbain de cette période (Cormicy, 51) en présence de ses représentants.

Liberty and freedom for everyone?
Women and the struggle for social progress, 1700-1918
Bien que les efforts pour l’amélioration du statut des femmes puissent être observés au cours de toute l’histoire, nous voudrions focaliser notre discussion sur les « longues XVIIIe et XIXe siècles », car c’étaient les transformations politiques, économiques, aussi bien que les changements dans les mentalités de ce temps-là qui aboutirent au tournant du XXe siècle.

La persistance lumineuse des ténèbres
This seminar is centred around the notion of home and its multiple denotations and dimensions, and proposes a reflection on the boundaries of the concept and how it is represented in modern and contemporary European literature, more specifically (auto-) biographical fiction that problematizes the relation between subject and its spaces of origin.
