Les études autochtones à l’université
Cinquante ans d’acquisition documentaire et de recherche
Depuis les années 1970, les études autochtones d’Amériques du Nord (ou études amérindiennes) se sont développées aux États-Unis et au Canada, assez peu en France : l’université Bordeaux Montaigne est l’une des rares universités françaises dans laquelle se déploie une recherche en études autochtones depuis les années 1980. En appui du travail des chercheur·ses, l’un des plus importants fonds documentaires du pays dans le domaine s’est constitué au sein de l’établissement, abrité en partie par la bien nommée bibliothèque Rigoberta Menchú.

Guerre, americanismo e antiamericanismo dal XX secolo all’attualità
Diacronie. Studi di storia contemporanea
Since its entry into World War 1 in 1917, the United States has played a pivotal international role across political, economic, cultural, and military arenas. This trajectory has been characterized by waves of both Americanization and anti-Americanism, with military interventions increasingly assuming a central role—albeit with notable distinctions. The United States has been consistently engaged in overseas operations. This call for papers seeks to explore the complex relationship between wars, Americanism, and anti-Americanism from the 20th century to the present.

The Lives and Afterlives of Cookie Mueller: Tales, Kinships, Persistence
Special issue of “ANGLES – new perspectives on the anglophone world” (april 2027)
Cookie Mueller (1949-1989) is probably best known for her small parts in Waters’ early movies (Multiple Maniacs, 1970; Pink Flamingos, 1972; Female Trouble, 1974; Desperate Living, 1977) and for befriending many artists, including Nan Goldin, Robert Mapplethorpe, and Jean-Michel Basquiat. She was, however, also a gifted writer, who wrote health columns for the East Village Eye, a memoir, a theater play, as well as a series of nonsensical portraits/short stories entitled How to Get Rid of Pimples (1984). Cookie Mueller was one of the many victims of the AIDS epidemic. We invite contributors to explore Cookie Mueller’s writing ; the networks, artistic and emotional, in which she was embedded ; the experiences of loss and mourning in the context of the AIDS crisis.

Religion and immigration in the United States and Canada: A Bottom-Up Perspective
In recent years, there has been an upsurge of interest in the religious beliefs and practices of immigrant populations in both popular and academic discourse. While this topic is most often addressed as part of larger conversations about multiculturalism and social cohesion within the broader society, scholars are increasingly turning their attention to religious identities as experienced by the immigrants themselves. This conference will take a “bottom up” approach to explore how religion has factored into the migrant trajectories, lived experience, and imaginaries of newcomers to the United States and Canada from the nineteenth century through to the present day.

Quand cinéma et audiovisuel déchaînent les passions
Polémiques et controverses médiatiques, tensions politiques et débat public
Ce séminaire 2024-2025 du GREPs (Groupe de recherche sur les écrans et leurs publics) appréhende les dynamiques de confrontation qui traversent les mondes du cinéma et de l’audiovisuel. Replacés dans leur contexte, ils permettent de mettre au jour les reconfigurations permanentes des rapports de force au sein de multiples espaces sociaux, mais aussi l’intensité des mécanismes de concentration de l’attention et de dissémination de certaines prises de position (Quemener 2018), « où s’expriment de manière parfois virulente et spectaculaire les antagonismes qui travaillent le collectif » (Devars et Taieb 2023). À ce titre, les polémiques et controverses ne sauraient laisser indifférents et constituent de précieux terrains d’investigation pour de nombreuses disciplines.

Extreme right and democracy in Europe after the Second World War
Coexistences, contrasts, contradictions
It seems urgent to reflect on how democracies have responded to the presence of extreme right-wing movements, both in terms of political practices and rhetoric. Have democracies actively opposed the extreme right, or have they opted for strategies of containment and coexistence? Equally important is to examine the perspective of the extreme right: how has it interpreted and narrated the (supposed) coexistence with the democratic system? How has it dealt with the legacy of fascism and to what extent has it adapted to the culture of democracy?

Reproductive Justice and Its Discontents: Recent Representations in American Popular Culture
“RSAJournal”, 36 (September 2025)
RSAJournal, the journal of the Italian Association of American Studies (AISNA) seeks contributions for its n. 36 issue (September 2025) for both its General and Special Sections. Reproductive justice—defined as the right to have children, to not have children, and to parent—has always confronted praxes of power and control, which include the regulation of many issues such as expected gender roles, sexual behavior, abortion, family formation, adoption, reproductive assistive technology, and surrogacy. We invite contributions from different disciplines considering how popular culture shapes our attitudes about reproductive justice.

Jean-Léon Gérôme (1824-1904) et un autre XIXe siècle, nouvelles approches
Jean-Léon Gérôme nait à Vesoul le 11 mai 1824. À 16 ans, il commence sa formation artistique à Paris. À partir de 1847, il expose au Salon où il remporte un franc succès. En 1864, il devient professeur de peinture à l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris et dirige l’un des quatre ateliers de peinture de l’école. Il est ensuite élu membre de l’Institut. Extrêmement prolifique tout au long de sa vie, l’artiste nourrit sa créativité par des voyages en Égypte et dans l’empire Ottoman. Porte-étendard de la peinture orientaliste et académique, il s’oppose farouchement aux impressionnistes. Deux siècles après sa naissance, le colloque interroge sa carrière fructueuse et élargit les discussions pour inclure la question du monde artistique au XIXe siècle.

Brian De Palma : la politique des images
Brian De Palma: The Politics of Images
In 2025, the US filmmaker Brian De Palma will turn 85. To celebrate this New Hollywood pioneer and his impressive body of work (30 feature-length fiction films, not counting ongoing projects, documentaries and shorts), this symposium will look at the director’s filmography primarily through political and aesthetic approaches, aiming to offer a fresh perspective on a much-studied body of work. It will also be an opportunity to look at his lesser-known works.

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.

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.

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.

Bodies in Action Films and TV Series in the Digital Era
The idea for this conference arose from the renewed attention paid to the profilmic body in US-American audiovisual action productions since the mid-2010s, at a time when the transition to all-digital production favored the hegemony of other adventure genres centered on the prowess of virtual bodies. In the 1990s, action movies were largely characterized by the centrality of the physical body in motion, confronted with extraordinary constraints, and carried out by actors who performed the majority of their own stunts.
