1.1 Memory Studies Association Second Annual Conference

Copenhagen, 14-16 December 2017

Founded last year in Amsterdam, the Memory Studies Association (MSA) aims at institutionalizing memory studies as a research field that is able to provide fundamental knowledge about the importance and function of memories in the public and private realm. The MSA’s objective is to provide a central forum for developing, discussing, and exchanging ideas about the methodology and theory of the inter- and multi-disciplinary field of memory studies.

By addressing crucial questions about the challenges and future of memory studies, this year’s conference will continue the fruitful debates that began in Amsterdam. A starting point of our discussions is to further define the ‘third wave’ of memory studies: One of the central problems of memory studies today is to adjust to the increasing heterogeneity of remembering without losing sight of national and local memory formations. Even in our globalized world, legal and mental borders are far from dissolved. The growing number of nationalist movements in Europe point to the continued virility of the national framework of remembrance.

This conference wants to address “memory unbound” as well as specific personal, familial or national memories and their mutual interrelations. It seeks answers to questions such as: How can memory studies continue to conceptualize the deterritorialized, fluid and transnational aspects of collective memory without abolishing the validity of the founding ideas of memory studies? Acknowledging the fact that memories relate not only to the presence of the past but also to imaginations of the future, how can we define the productive power of memory? Should memory studies merely be perceived as descriptive or should it also have an impact on actual political debates?

Confirmed keynote speakers and participants of this conference include: Marianne Hirsch (Columbia University), filmmaker Joshua Oppenheimer (“The Act of Killing” and “The Look of Silence”), Jan Gross (Princeton University), as well as Ann Rigney (University of Utrecht), Fionnuala Dillane (University College of Dublin), Stef Craps (University of Ghent), Daniel Levy (Stony Brook University, New York), Siobhan Kattago (University of Tartu), Astrid Erll (Goethe-University Frankfurt), Jeffrey Olick (University of Virginia), Emilie Pine (University College of Dublin), Barbara Törnquist-Plewa (University of Lund), William Hirst (The New School, New York), Wulf Kansteiner (University of Aarhus), Silke Arnold-de Simine (Birkbeck, London).

The Memory Studies Association aims to be the central forum for scholars from around the world and across disciplines who are interested in memory studies. Its goal is to further establish and extend the status of memory studies as a field. As such, this second meeting of the association invites all those interested in being part of this important emerging enterprise. As an interdisciplinary forum for memory studies, we warmly welcome contributions from various research fields and explicitly invite transdisciplinary approaches. Submissions of papers and panels can address but are not limited to: Memory of migration of refugees and workers Traumatic memories Ethics of memory Memory and the media Memory and the global Entangled or multidirectional memories. Psychology of Collective Memory Gendered memories Geography and the memory of sites/spaces Sociological approaches to memory Memory in the digital age Memory and cultural heritage Teaching memory studies We would like to encourage both the submission of “traditional” academic papers and full panels, as well as innovative proposals for workshops, film screenings, roundtable discussions and more. Please contact the organizers if you would like to discuss ideas or have questions. The submission system is now open and will close on 1st July 2017.

The Program Committee welcomes panel proposals on all subjects of the history of France, the French Empire, and other Francophone countries, as well as France within a global or transnational framework.  Since the conference will take place on the eve of the fiftieth anniversary of the “évènements de mai ’68,” the organizers particularly invite proposals that deal with popular politics, social movements, and radical ideology from all periods of history.

Submissions for complete panels (including session title, paper titles, short abstracts, and a brief c.v. for each panelist) are strongly encouraged, though individual submissions are also permitted. In case of the latter, we will do our best to arrange them into coherent panels, space permitting.  The traditional format for panels is three 15-20 minute papers, with a chair and a commentator.  We also encourage submissions for panels in other formats, such as roundtables, flipped panels, lightning sessions, pedagogy panels, workshops, and panels dealing with the digital humanities. If you are proposing a non-traditional format, please explain how the session time of 1.75 hours will be used. A description of some of these alternate format possibilities will be available on the conference website.

Sessions will be held at the conference hotel, the Marriott City Center (112 Washington Pl., Pittsburgh, PA 15219) and on the nearby campus of Duquesne University, in the central Uptown neighborhood of Pittsburgh.  The SFHS has secured a special conference room rate of $145 per night; a limited number of rooms will be available to graduate students at a rate of $95 per night. Attendees will be able to enjoy the many cultural attractions, vibrant restaurant scene, and natural beauty that have earned Pittsburgh repeated recognition as a top destination for visitors.

3.2 France, Europe and the World (Society for the Study of French History Annual Conference)

26th-27th June 2017

The University of Strathclyde

The history of France has been profoundly shaped by its European and global entanglements. Whether through its diplomatic and military engagements, colonial encounters, cultural and intellectual exchanges, or the interconnections of trade and commerce, the porous and fluid nature of France’s borders have brought a complex range of influences upon France’s history. As the role and status of France within Europe and the wider world changed, so did perceptions and representations of France.

4.1 La littérature mauricienne contemporaine: Un espace de création postcolonial entre revendications identitaires et ouvertures interculturelles (Lit Verlag, 2017)

By Markus Arnold
Depuis les années 1990, la littérature de l’île Maurice a vu l’émergence de voix innovantes caractérisées par une écriture transgressive, l’investissement de questions identitaires inédites, ainsi qu’une subversion des représentations conventionnelles des ‘tropiques’ et des ‘îles’. Cet ouvrage interroge un large corpus romanesque, d’expression française et anglaise, sur ses différentes inscriptions de la postcolonialité, en s’articulant autour de plusieurs problématiques scripturaires, théoriques et politiques (le champ littéraire, la mémoire, l’hybridité, le genre, l’espace). L’analyse des spécificités dominantes de cet espace de création pluriel permet ainsi de voir comment les romans mauriciens se positionnent et évoluent au sein d’une société multiculturelle complexe et dans un contexte littéraire globalisé. Plus généralement, l’ouvrage repense le paradigme postcolonial à l’aune des enjeux identitaires et topologiques du XXIe siècle.

4.2 The Colonial Fortune in Contemporary Fiction in French (Liverpool University Press, 2017)

By Oana Panaïté

“The Colonial Fortune” highlights the features of a paracolonial aesthetics emanating from a significant body of contemporary Hexagonal and non-metropolitan texts. Authored by writers who are either directly involved in the debate about the colonial past and its remanence (J. M. G. Le Clézio, Paule Constant, Édouard Glissant, Tierno Monénembo, Marie NDiaye, and Leïla Sebbar) or who do not overtly manifest such concerns (Stéphane Audeguy, Marie Darrieussecq, Régis Jauffret, Pierre Michon, and Claude Simon), these works create a shared imaginary space permeated by the symbolic, rhetorical, and conceptual presence colonialism in our postcolonial era. The paracolonial describes the phenomena of revival, resurgence, remanence, and residue – in other words, the permanence of the colonial in contemporary imagination. It also addresses the re-imagining, revisiting, and recasting of the colonial in current works of literature (fiction, autobiography, and essay). The idea of the colonial fortune emerges as an interface between our era’s concerns with issues of fate, economics, legacy, and debt stemming from the understudied persistence of the colonial in today’s political and cultural conversantion, and literature’s ways of making sense of them both sensorially and sensibly.

4.3 Algeria: Nation, Culture and Transnationalism (Liverpool University Press, 2017)

By Patrick Crowley

Algeria: Nation, Culture and Transnationalism covers a specific period of time (1988-2015) that has taken on a significantly different socio-political configuration to that of the first 25 years of post-independence Algeria (1962-1987). Since 1988, Algeria has seen democratic contestation, civil conflict between state and Islamist parties and, over the past 10 years, an uneasy peace. It was in the same period that the country endured economic decline and a painful transition to a more liberal economy. Less than twenty years ago Algeria was seen as a ‘failed state’ yet it is now perceived as having a role in the ‘stabilization’ of North Africa in the wake of the Arab Spring. Central to this transformation has been a turn in Algeria’s economic fortunes. The Algerian army and political elite have, over the past 10 years, hugely benefitted from revenues derived from its hydrocarbon exports and use such revenues to manage a society in which a majority depend on state subsidies and public sector employment. Contemporary Algeria, argues Hugh Roberts (2003), is marked by an emerging post-nationalism and a sense that the elite has lost the political bearings that shaped the nation after 1962. There is an on-going tension generated by official positions that remain vigorously centripetal and a more informal, local yet transnational, dynamics that is often centrifugal in effect. The result is a society characterised by a range of oppositions that bear upon the evolution of the state and the lives of ordinary Algerians. Algeria has been dramatically marked by competing forces: state nationalism and grassroots nationalist disenchantment; Islamism and a version of Islam that accommodates greater plurality; a national economy — and this includes cultural production — that is responding to globalization; the conflict of the 1990s and its contemporary legacy. The contributions to this book focus on the impact of such forces across a range of interests in contemporary Algeria.

4.4 Conjonctures congolaises 2016: Glissement politique, recul économique (Cahiers africains, L’Harmattan, 2017)

By Aymar Nyenyezi Bisoka, Sara Geenen, An Ansoms, and Jean Omasombo Tshonda

En 2016, le changement tant attendu n’a pas eu lieu. Kabila est resté au pouvoir. 2016 aura aussi été l’année de grandes difficultés politiques dont la Majorité présidentielle est encore loin de se remettre : les schismes qu’elle a connus et qui ont conduit au départ de grands ténors dans l’opposition politique. Plus grave encore, 2016 a vu s’effondrer certaines transformations économiques et sociales qui constituaient les principales réussites du Gouvernement, comme le déclin de la production dans le Copperbelt entraînant un ralentissement de la croissance.

4.5 France-Algérie : 50 ans d’histoires secrètes (Fayard, 2017)

By Naoufel Brahimi El Mili

« Les relations entre la France et l’Algérie peuvent être bonnes ou mauvaises, en aucun cas elles ne peuvent être banales. » Ces mots de 1974 sont de Bouteflika, alors jeune ministre des Affaires étrangères. Le contexte est particulier : il veut faire de son pays le guide des non-alignés, la tête pensante d’une autre diplomatie, loin des colonies.

Oui, mais voilà. Dix ans plus tôt, ou quarante ans plus tard, ces mots ont toujours valeur d’axiome : entre la France et l’Algérie, bien que les deux parties s’entendent parfois sur le papier, d’autres fois dans les mains serrées qu’on affiche devant les palais présidentiels, c’est toujours compliqué. Depuis les accords d’Évian, elles entretiennent une relation passionnée et tumultueuse faite d’amour et de haine sur fond de contrats gaziers, d’immigration et de plaies identitaires mal refermées. Une relation ou tous les coups seront permis, mais en cachette.

Ces tromperies, ces histoires secrètes, Naoufel Brahimi El Mili a décidé d’enfin les dévoiler. Depuis Giscard d’Estaing et l’OAS, jusqu’aux espions algériens à Paris, en passant par les petits services d’Alexandre de Marenches et de la DGSE, il révèle cinquante ans manoeuvres confidentielles, de coups bas toujours restés dans l’ombre.

Tout ce qui n’aurait jamais dû être dit.

4.6 L’école française au Vietnam de 1945 à 1975: De la mission civilisatrice à la diplomatie culturelle (Encrage, 2017)

By Nguyen Thuy Phuong

Cet ouvrage fait revivre la saga de l’école française au Vietnam de 1945 à 1975, ouvrant une fenêtre sur une histoire encore largement méconnue. Pendant trois décennies, des milliers de jeunes vietnamiens suivent un enseignement en langue française au sein d’établissements toujours prestigieux malgré leur passé colonial, havres de savoirs et de paix qui offrent à leurs élèves un véritable avenir dans un pays plongé dans la guerre. Dans cette étude richement documentée à partir de nombreuses archives et témoignages recueillis en France et au Vietnam, Nguyen Thuy Phuong met en lumière les circonstances politiques et idéologiques qui ont façonné cet enseignement à une époque de mutations profondes. Elle trace avec finesse comment la « mission civilisatrice » française se mue en diplomatie culturelle face aux défis que représentent l’arrivée des communistes au pouvoir dans le Nord et celle des Américains dans le Sud du Vietnam. Cette histoire vue du haut est appréhendée aussi par le bas. Le livre décrit, de façon sensible, un univers multiculturel complexe et fragmenté qui a laissé, au-delà des salles de classe, une empreinte profonde sur plusieurs générations d’élèves qui se ressent encore dans les mémoires recueillis. Ce livre d’une jeune chercheuse talentueuse montre à quel point l’éducation est au cœur des enjeux diplomatiques, culturels et identitaires dans un monde bouleversé par la décolonisation. Une histoire à découvrir et à méditer à l’ère de la mondialisation.

4.7 Lettres francophones en chronotopes (Horizons Francophones, L’Harmattan, 2017)

By Tania Manca, Stefania Cubeddu-Proux, Victoria Famin, Fatma Agoun-Perpère, Cecilia Camoin, Claudia Canu Fautré

Qu’en est-il du temps et de l’espace aujourd’hui dans les textes littéraires produits en langue française ? Des moyens possibles d’utiliser « la corrélation essentielle entre des rapports spatiotemporels » ? Ce volume rassemble les travaux du premier colloque de l’Association des Chercheurs en Littératures Francophones, consacré aux chronotopes dans les littératures de langue française. Ce concept, formulé par Mikhaïl Bakhtine désormais incontournable, permet d’interroger une production littéraire complexe et variée à travers la construction d’un univers propre à chaque texte.
