TV series in the age of the 19th century

SERD workshop in partnership with the Musée d'Orsay and the PLH / ELH team

Réservoir d’images, d’intrigues, de décors ou de personnages, le XIX^e siècle est une source intarissable pour la série télé, un format dont succès commercial est exponentiel de nos jours. Le petit écran exploite à loisir la fascination que continue d’exercer sur le public actuel un XIXe siècle de ruptures sociales et politiques que les saisons ou épisodes épousent, parfois jusqu’au stéréotype. Média culture ou sous-culture ?

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.

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.

The book, the museum and the child

L’objectif de ce colloque interdisciplinaire est d’explorer les relations entre le livre pour enfants sur l’art et le musée. Il ne s’agit pas d’étudier la représentation littéraire du musée, mais de s’attacher au livre d’art pour enfants dans la mesure où celui-ci se donne, dans un héritage malrucien plus ou moins explicite, comme un « musée imaginaire », afin de penser l’articulation de ces musées de papier avec le musée réel, ses collections, son activité éditoriale, ses actions envers les publics jeunesse et familiaux.

"This thing of darkness": the night in anglophone arts and literature

Night is often seen as the other side of the day, meaning darkness, and potential disorders. But these presumably negative connotations also bear witness to the metaphoric richness of the night, explored relentlessly in literature, the visual arts, and on film. The night is the locus of an ambiguity and indeterminacy, which should not be viewed merely as factors of disorder, but as possibilities for different lives and identities, which seem to radically elude the norms governing diurnal practices. Nonetheless, is it merely a form of transgression or does it inaugurate a mode of existence of its own? Furthermore, to what extent do technical, social, and cultural changes influence those perceptions by blurring the line between day and night? With the inexorable generalisation of lighting and the ubiquity of screens, is the night a thing of the past?

Chican@s studies

Contributions of articles for electronic journal Verbum et Lingua

The electronic magazine Verbum et Lingua: Didáctica, lengua y cultura will dedicate its 16th edition (July-December 2020) to the topic of Chican@s studies. Grosso modo, for Ornelas, Ramírez and Padilla (1975), the Chican@s studies have made a great effort to integrate four main constructs: race, class, culture and gender/sexuality. These constructs are present in the work of different artists who express their ideology in order to politicize and lead their community(ies) to change. According to Macias (2018), the Chican@s field of study seeks to make research holistic and multidisciplinary, as well as inclusive, comparative, grounded, up-to-date and critical. At the same time, it seeks to apply the results to social justice, education, as well as to the change of the global Chican@ communities.

Natural colours - digital colours

International conference of the Association internationale de la couleur (2020)

Après 35 ans d’absence des congrès de l’Association internationale de la couleur, la France accueillera le XVI^e colloque international de l’AIC organisé par le Centre français de la couleur. Le développement de l’économie numérique à l’échelle mondiale conduit à replacer la couleur dans d’autres dimensions « virtuelles » et surtout à associer différentes disciplines telles que l’histoire, l’art et l’architecture, vidéo, impression 2D et 3D, informatique graphique, imagerie numérique, etc. Couleurs des milieux naturels, couleurs et lumières du ciel, couleurs extraites des matières de l’environnement, couleurs végétales, minérales, animales, etc. dialoguent et rencontrent les couleurs numériques sous toutes leurs formes : Atlas, nuanciers, diagrammes CIE, espaces colorimétriques, réalité virtuelle et augmentée, analyse et synthèse d’image, patrimoine reconstruit et restauration, écrans et visualisation, photographie et vidéo, création artistique, design de formes et de matières, langages, etc.

Images and Borderlands: Mediterranean basin between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early Modern Age

Following in the footsteps of Fernand Braudel, an increasing number of recent studies show that the Mediterranean basin might be considered as a “borderland”, “borderscape” or “Frontier” suggesting that this area is not strictly a border between Christian and Muslim civilization, but a basin in which the two traditions and cultures meet and overlap, with an extraordinary variety of reactions to the hegemonic practices (acceptance, conflict, refusal, dissent). The aim of this conference is to bring together scholars who will discuss, from different perspectives and with a multidisciplinary approach, the variety of themes (topics) which revolve around the common issue of reflecting the problem of borderlands as a consequence of the encounter between Christendom and Ottoman Empire in the Early modern Mediterranean. The starting point of examination will be images, i.e. the usage of images (pictures, mental images, literary images and other visual representations …) as historical evidence.

Post-cinema: Practices of research and creation

Journal Images Secondes (Nº3, 2021)

The third issue of the French journal Images secondes questions the heuristic and critical potential of the notion of "post-cinema" in the context of a general reflection on the “reconfigurations” (de Rosa and Hediger, 2016) of the cinematic medium in the age of networked digital media. We agree with Shane Denson and Julia Leyda that if post-cinematic media “concern the emergence of a new 'structure of feeling' or 'episteme', new forms of affect or sensibility”, then “traditional scholarly forms and methods for investigating these issues are unlikely to provide adequate answers” (Denson & Leyda, 2016: 6). For this reason, this issue will give priority to contributions that depart from the traditional forms of academic publishing to develop formats which explore the unique potentialities of online dissemination.

The horror movie audience: experience, uses and practices

Cette journée d’étude propose d'étudier le cinéma d'horreur du point de vue de sa réception. Il s’agira notamment de déconstruire les préjugés encore tenaces sur le public de ces productions et le plaisir qu’elles procurent, en mettant en évidence la multiplicité des lectures et appropriations dont elles font l’objet, la complexité des plaisirs et des fantasmes qu’elles nourrissent, ainsi que la pluralité des spectateurs·rices qu’elles attirent devant les écrans. Une attention particulière sera portée à la diversité des contextes socio-historiques de réception de ces films et séries, mais aussi à la multiplicité des expériences, usages et pratiques des cinéphiles, « fans » et spectateurs·rices ordinaires affectionnant ce genre cinématographique riche et hétérogène.

Frugalities: art, literature, architecture - Radial journal

revue « Radial »

Actuellement, les questionnements concernant l’impact de l’homme sur son environnement occupent une place prépondérante au sein des débats. Alors, se sont développées des tentatives de réponses individuelles et collectives afin de contrer ce sentiment. Le champ de l’art ne semble pas en reste : nombre de manifestations proposent de s’interroger sur les bouleversements du monde ainsi que sur les postures à adopter. Mais alors qu’en est-il du champ artistique ? De quelles manières les artistes (plasticiens, architectes, écrivains, graphistes, etc.) parviennent-il à s’emparer de cette question ? Comment réussissent-ils à faire coïncider leurs pratiques avec les nouvelles exigences de frugalité ?

Literary and artistic manifestos in Francophone Africa: forms and stakes

"French Studies in Southern Africa" Journal

Le présent volume souhaite recueillir des articles dont la principale problématique est de réfléchir à l’évolution des formes et des enjeux liés à la production manifestaire et programmatique des auteurs locaux et diasporiques originaires d’Afrique francophone. Dans le contexte général de la crise des idéologies et du manifeste annoncée par Claude Abastado, nous voudrons mettre en lumière les transformations structurelles du genre ainsi que celles des groupes littéraires et artistiques qui l’utilisent et le (re)pensent.

Portugal and lusophone countries

Perspective 2021-1

Le prochain numéro de Perspective: actualité en histoire de l’art sera consacré aux transferts culturels entre le Portugal et les pays lusophones (Angola, Brésil, Cap-Vert, Guinée-Bissau, Guinée équatoriale, Macao, Mozambique, Sao Tomé-et-Principe, Timor oriental). Il s’agit, dans ce numéro, de reconsidérer de manière critique les discours de l’histoire de l’art ancrés dans la perspective de l’État-nation, en examinant l’étendue et les spécificités du territoire en tant que constructions culturelles et historiques. Se détournant ainsi des approches endogènes ou essentialistes, nous proposons d’envisager le sujet au-delà des stéréotypes, tels que la mythologie des grandes découvertes et le luso-tropicalisme, les représentations identitaires, la dichotomie entre beaux-arts et arts populaires ou encore la division entre centre et périphérie.
