A Geography of (Art) Historians

The Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art (CIHA) and the Comité International des Sciences Historiques (CISH) during the Cold War

The Comité International d’Histoire de l’Art (CIHA) and the Comité International des Sciences Historiques (CISH) played a crucial role in the advancement of scholarship in the fields of Art History and History during the Cold War. We invite submissions of 20-minute papers exploring the history of these international organisations and their role in fostering transnational networks, cultural exchanges, and theoretical and methodological debates between scholars. We are also interested in local structures and the impact of international meetings on the development of national historiographies. We especially encourage papers focused on the Eastern Bloc and the Global South.

Study days - Urban studies

Changes in property rights and land regulation

Global and historical perspectives

How do land reforms affect land access and property rights? Who are the actors of these transformations? Does such evolution contribute to the commodification and financialization of land? How do urban regulations produce informalities and affect socio-spatial dynamics? This half-day thematic seminar seeks to delve into these key questions with two roundtables. Aiming to inform today’s urban transformations through law and history, the six presentations will cover different contexts as diverse as Istanbul, Northern Italy, rural China, Madrid, and colonial Bombay, spanning from the 14th century to today.

Call for papers - Europe

Displaced, Exiled

Thinking and Making Europe through the Experience of Exile and Displacement (20th–21st centuries)

The conference will explore the role of displaced and exiled populations in the construction of Europe, whether they came from European countries or other regions of the world. Taking a resolutely multi-disciplinary approach, the conference will especially focus on the period that began with the Spanish Civil War and the outbreak of the Second World War, although it will not exclude looking at earlier periods. The central question will be to examine how these actors conceived of and made Europe – how they contributed to its construction, or on the contrary to its failure. We will explore how these populations experienced European conflicts, violence, and control mechanisms, in other words the resources, uses, representations, and statements that have shaped this Europe on the move.

(Re)traduire les classiques africains

Les retraductions à l’épreuve des textualités d'Afrique

Cette journée d’étude se propose d’examiner le phénomène de la retraduction, compris comme le fait d’offrir une nouvelle traduction d’un ouvrage déjà disponible dans la langue cible. En inscrivant la pratique de la traduction dans une perspective diachronique, la retraduction permet d'esquisser un nouveau regard sur l’histoire des littératures d’Afrique et des littératures en Afrique.

The Normalized, the Normalizers and Their Cinemas

Czechoslovak and Soviet Films of the 1970s

In both cinemas—that of the “normalizer” and that of the “normalized”—the political and economic stagnation reinforced by stochastic censorship and disillusioned society often leads to peculiar examples of mismatched ideology and aesthetics allowing for viewing them as accidental camp classics today. What structural changes do Czechoslovak studios undergo in the wake of the Warsaw Pact invasion? What thematic and aesthetic choices can be attributed to their moment in film history on both sides of the Iron Curtain? How does the soaring number of light entertainment genre like melodrama, comedy or musical correlate with the current events? Last but not least, the questions of actors’ agency in the face of state repression and censorship, of reevaluation of the immense corpus of films created during the late-Communist era feel relevant in Russian and Central European cinema and culture in general today.

Literatur and Psychiatrie revisited, 1920–1970

Momente gegenseitiger Beobachtung | Moments d'observation mutuelle

Le colloque se consacrera à la relation entre littérature et psychiatrie après « l’âge d’or de l’aliénisme » ( Castel 1977) en examinant des moments d’observation et de description mutuelles qui se déroulent entre l’apparition des avant-gardes et l’apogée de l’antipsychiatrie européenne. Faudra-t-il adapter les catégories d’analyse littéraire et d’histoire des savoirs qui ont fait leurs preuves dans l’étude du XIX^e siècle lorsqu’il s’agit d’explorer les relations entre l’écriture littéraire et le savoir psychopathologique dans le contexte des bouleversements poétologiques et épistémologiques survenus depuis l’entre-deux-guerres ?

Polarisation of British and American societies

Causes, consequences, perspectives

The growing polarisation within American and British societies raises profound questions about the mechanisms by which public opinion is influenced and the political and social transformations that ensue. This polarisation expresses itself at several levels, notably between different age groups, between levels of education, and between urban and rural areas. We assume here that the apparent polarisation of US and UK societies has increased in recent years, not least due to the rise to power and tenure of Donald J. Trump in the US and the vote in favour of Brexit in the UK. The aim will be to understand how these two events have acted as catalysts reinforcing divisions already present and creating new forms of divisions.

Journalisme narratif et littérature (Europe latine - Amérique latine)

Cette journée d’étude doctorale se propose de réfléchir aux cas d’auteurs ayant mêlé écriture littéraire et écriture journalistique, entre Europe latine et Amérique latine. À partir de la notion de journalisme narratif et/ou littéraire, nous nous interrogerons sur les modalités et les formes de cette hybridation : comment ces pratiques d’écriture, sous-tendues par des enjeux éthiques, artistiques et économiques différents, s’influencent-elles mutuellement ? Dans quelle mesure peuvent-elles constituer, l’une pour l’autre, une valeur ajoutée ? Que nous disent-elles du rôle sociétal de l’écrivain ?

What counting means in an imperial and colonial situation

This conference intends to open in new ways the file of accounting and statistical approaches produced in imperial and colonial context (thematic maps, surveys, statistical series etc.) to extract all the information that they are likely to provide on societies and situations that they are supposed to illuminate. Taking into account the numerous historiographical findings, the critiques of the different numerical elements used, their racialist and normative aims, it is as much a question of being interested in the conditions of their production, whether they are visible (investigators) or invisible (interpreters , village elites), than to analyze the reactions to their production, their distribution or to specify the expectations of the sponsors and the uses to which they give rise. The conference intends to encourage the crossing of the scales mobilized by the different supports of these accounting elements, starting from individuals and up to the relations between administrations or colonial companies and the Metropolis.

Unpacking the Narratives of Circulating Exhibitions 1900–1952

The MMD Museum Materials Discussions Journal welcomes article submissions to be published in a special theme issue exploring traveling exhibitions. The call for papers aims to encourage a transdisciplinary discussion on how touring exhibitions contributed to the knowledge growth within the circuit of arts, decorative arts, handicrafts, fashion, and design. The MMD issue aims to address the topic within a broader framework, providing new insights or a different way of understanding artifacts, people, and ideas detached from their original contexts, how and why they circulated, and the ways specific ideas, forms, and displays were perceived out of their original context. The chronological boundaries range from the beginning of the 20th century to 1952 (inception of the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service).

A Blue Art History

Artistic Creation, Biodiversity and Oceanic Environment (19th-21st Centuries)

This interdisciplinary symposium brings together researchers from the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences, as well as artists and museum professionals, to analyze ocean-related art. “The ocean comprises the largest object on our planet” is how literary scholar Steve Mentz describes it, as he works to bring together different forms of knowledge about this elusive entity. Mentz coined the term “blue humanities” to bring together interdisciplinary methodologies that focuses on the ocean. This symposium aims to enrich this field through the arts. Open to the public, it seeks to encourage exchange and discussion.

Arts et document

Journées doctorales du laboratoire Litt&Arts

La question des rapports entre le réel et l’imaginaire, le fictionnel et le factuel, inhérente à toute pratique et réflexion artistique, se centre depuis une quinzaine d’années sur la notion de « document » et le terme « documentaire », dont l’usage n’est désormais plus restreint à l’esthétique cinématographique ou photographique. En constatant un essor d’intérêt pour les pratiques documentaires en littérature et arts, nous nous proposons de comprendre dans quelle mesure cette tendance peut être considérée comme inédite. Notre objectif sera donc de mettre en cause la notion « tournant documentaire » et de confronter l'usage du document chez les artistes modernes et contemporains.

Saint-Exupéry : la fabrique des héros

La vie de Saint-Exupéry regorge de péripéties. Sa vie aventureuse, mais aussi sa vie engagée conduisent à sa disparition en Méditerranée en juillet 1944. Courrier sud (1929), Vol de nuit (1931) donnent de l’épaisseur et de l’humanité au monde de l’aviation tout en le consacrant écrivain. Saint-Exupéry a aussi inventé des personnages de fiction comme Le Petit prince, véritable géant de papier. Pour mieux cerner la construction du personnage du héros, quatre entrées ont été plus particulièrement retenues dans cet appel : le héros écrivain, le héros aventurier, le héros de papier, le héros tragique.
