Music and French History

French Historical Studies (Special Issue)

The history of the music of France has traditionally been studied as a separate category without the same robust interest as other cultural artifacts such as film and literature. More recent scholarship illuminates the place of music in French society and suggests that more work should be done to sketch out the particular place of music in all its forms in French history. This special issue of French Historical Studies proposes to take stock of and advance this historiographical renewal. What can the production and consumption of music tell us about the shifting nature of French identity and the relationships among various constituencies in French history?

Living and writing insularity

The challenge of changing cultural heritage

Ce colloque, ouvert à des communications portant sur les cinq continents, part de deux hypothèses : l'île est un territoire à faire émerger davantage pour renouveler la cartographie culturelle du monde et l'île est un espace à interroger pour appréhender les mutations et dynamiques interculturelles du monde contemporain. Nous envisageons dès lors les îles comme des terrains extrêmement riches pour les expressions littéraires et artistiques ainsi que pour leur questionnement des liens entre le local et le global.

Response Events

This conference is part of a transdisciplinary research project about response events led jointly at the University of Tartu, Aix-Marseille University and University of Côte d’Azur. It aims to study responses to representations (literary, artistic, media, historical, etc.) and how these representations can produce an event for given readers/spectators. Leaving aside the events that certain representations can provoke and that are similar to historical facts (as for literary scandals caused by the publication of condemned works), it focuses on representations from the point of view of their response, where the singular experiences of reading/spectating (that are eventually shared) are identified as events. In the current context of representations’ and their media’s–notably screens–proliferation, it appears relevant to re-interrogate the response experience through the events that it can trigger.

Cet appel à contributions est destiné à un numéro thématique des Annales de Normandie sur l'histoire de l'historiographie régionale, à paraître au second semestre 2021. Il s'agit d'une réflexion sur les rapports entre les revues d'histoire régionale et les Annales d'histoire économique et sociale, fondées en 1929 et devenues en 1946 Annales. Economies, sociétés, civilisations. Deux axes principaux de recherche sont proposés : l'analyse de la place et de la fonction de l'histoire régionale et la réception des travaux publiés par les revues d'histoire régionale dans les Annales de 1929 aux années 1970; l'analyse des modalités de la réception et de la diffusion du paradigme des Annales dans les revues d'histoire régionale sur la même période.

Urgent issue of The Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge

This special issue, Tilting, seeks to take up themes that have animated the Blackwood’s program and mandate throughout the last several years: questions of connectivity, the challenges of public and private space, community and/in isolation; imperatives to re-structure modes and methodologies of care, including revaluing care work, confronting collective care responsibilities within colonial and capitalist structures, and engaging with the infrastructures, aesthetics, contestations, and radical possibilities of mutual aid; responses to the precarization of art, labour, and life; interest in what modes of knowledge production, circulation, and re-distribution are vital to us now, and how these networks might take new form. These urgencies continue to drive Blackwood programming (and this forthcoming publication), supporting and activating artists, curators, and writers who incite us to be responsive, critical, and answerable.

Investigation, exploration, documentation: creation in research

En raison de la situation actuelle et de l’annulation de Camping, événement du Centre national de la danse, l’Atelier des doctorants propose d’ouvrir les deux journées d’étude initialement prévues au format d’un colloque numérique, toujours consacré à la thématique suivante : « Enquêter, explorer, documenter : la création en recherche ». Ce colloque numérique permettra de proposer quelques pistes pour redéfinir la notion de « recherche » et de penser ses diverses représentations – en termes d’attitude méthodologique et de relation aux savoirs et à leur constitution –, afin de saisir les multiples manières dont elles infléchissent les pratiques qui entourent les processus de création.

Christian-Muslim Missionary Encounters, Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries

Mission and Modernity Research Academy (MiMoRA#3)

The study of missionary work occupies a central place in the interdisciplinary body of scholarship on relations and exchanges between Christianity and Islam in pre-modern as well as modern times. Most notably from the nineteenth century onwards, missions became an essential aspect of the globalization and modernization of these two ‘world religions’. Scholars from various disciplines have discovered the missionary encounter as a ‘space’ par excellence to observe and analyze Christian-Muslim interactions, which range from rejection and conflict to dialogue and mutual exchange. This research requires the breaching of the boundaries between disciplines, languages, scripts, archival heuristics, geographical and chronological specialisms; and the creation of an interdisciplinary scholarly dialogue. The aim of this international and multidisciplinary week-long research academy is to stimulate further critical study of the multilateral research on Christian-Muslim contacts and relationships in missionary contexts.

The drudges of the Axis : exploitable persecuted persons and ambivalent persecutors during WWII (Asia, Europe, Latin America)

This meeting is a continuation of the UFA (French-German University) Montpellier-Weimar Colloquium "Construction of myths of war heroes (Germany, France, Japan) organized by Philippe Wellnitz and Gérard Siary in Berlin in 2014. After having there discussed the ambivalence in the construction of "war-heroe", this new conference is interested this time in two other ambivalences associated with the Second World War: those of the positioning of certain host states and "the ethics of survival" of persecuted persons who fled from Axis-occupied territories to other Axis-allied or to neutral States.

Maxim Kantor – The Future of Humanity

The goal of this international conference is to explore Kantor’s artistic work, his painting and writing, as a contribution he makes for the future of humanity. Kantor has been known as a Russian dissident and a fierce critic of the political development in the former Soviet Union, and his view of the current social, political, and spiritual situation of Europe is no less sharp. The scientific committee considers a strong analysis or a close reading of Kantor’s works as a major criterium in selecting the papers. As many writings are available only in Russian, the scientific committee strongly encourages scholars who are fluent in Russian to submit proposals that could make these texts available to a larger public.
