History, fiction, representations: the voices that build the Americas
Histoire, fiction, représentations
Ce colloque se propose d’étudier l’état actuel, des années 1970 à nos jours, des questionnements sur l’américanité, saisie dans un sens à la fois local, national et transcontinental. Le continent américain a été et reste un pôle attractif pour des populations/des individus en quête d’un monde nouveau et meilleur, qu’il a acceptés et refoulés tout au long de son histoire. Comment l’américanité, réelle ou mythique, accueillante ou exclusive, opère-t-elle en tant que critère d’une recherche identitaire dans la réélaboration constante et l’évolution des visions culturelles de l’Amérique du nord et de l’Amérique latine ?

Anarchist Americas. Libetarian expressions from the 19th-21st centuries
Ce colloque a pour objectif d’étudier et d’analyser l’œuvre journalistique, didactique et artistique de différents mouvements anarchistes américains. Les questions de fond et de forme seront bien entendu abordées, mais nous nous interrogerons également sur les stratégies mises en place pour la diffusion de publications souvent interdites, ainsi que sur les interactions entre création artistique et pensée libertaire.

The inaugural international conference of the French Society of Modernist Studies
The aim of this two-day conference is to foster discussion on communities in the modernist period. As discursive constructs and historical practices, communities constitute a privileged phenomenon from which to understand the political and ethical regime of modernist texts, as well as the actual forms of collective experience in which writers and readers were involved. More than a decade after Jessica Berman’s landmark work on "the politics of community" in modernist fiction, we seek to explore the various ways in which communities were configured across genres and artistic media, but also to acknowledge the grounds of their historical and cultural specificity. We hope that this will lead us to distinguish various versions of the communal, from the ideal to the empirical, from the utopian to the everyday, from consensus to dissensus.

Conference, symposium - Religion
Quarante-cinquième congrès de l'Association française d'études américaines
Le congrès se donne pour ambition de percer à jour, selon une perspective diachronique, multidimensionnelle et pluraliste, le religieux et son articulation inhérente avec le spirituel, dans ses nombreuses acceptions et expressions américaines. Sans que soit privilégiée la tradition évangélique, qui a longtemps été l’unique outil interprétatif pour appréhender l’histoire religieuse américaine, il s’agira de réfléchir sur la religion en tant que telle ainsi que sur les recompositions que génèrent les processus de sécularisation.

While classical intertextuality has been a widely studied subject and a much-discussed topic in the field of European literary theory, there exist, as of yet, only one-off studies regarding its developments in the “New World”. Although works by writers such as Edgar Allan Poe and Jorge Luis Borges have often been analyzed from an intertextuality-oriented perspective, and although several research projects, by focusing on this or that national or regional literature of the Continent, have helped cover sizeable blind spots in literary history, the groundwork has yet to be laid for an overall theoretical approach on the ways in which the Ancient Classics have hitherto been reprised and rewritten in the Americas.

American Art in Dialogue with Africa and the African Diaspora
Since the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, Africa has played an important — albeit shifting, contested, and often unseen — role in the history of art of the United States. Conference organizers seek original, innovative scholarship investigating heretofore unexamined aspects of this transatlantic dialogue, from the visual culture of slavery and abolitionism to American modernism; from the Black Arts Movement to the contemporary art world. -
