1.1 Open-ended call for papers, “Passages”, UK Society for French Studies Postgraduate Conference 2020.
Initial date of the event 25th April 2020 postponed
New date to be confirmed
Keynote: Dr Matt Phillips, Royal Holloway
The Society for French Studies invites paper proposals as well as poster presentations from current postgraduate students at Master’s and doctoral level in the interdisciplinary field of French and Francophone Studies. Contributions from across all fields of studies are welcome, including, for example literature, theatre, film, queer, and postcolonial studies, sociology, performance, creative writing and practices, translation, philosophy and cultural studies. Speakers may present in either English or French.
This year’s conference is entitled Passages to feature the period of postgraduate studies as a transformative journey from student to scholar. The event is designed as a work in progress seminar in which research students are invited to share and refine their projects with a collaborative audience. Students may wish to present an overview of their project or one particular aspect. Possible key areas may include but are not limited to:
Originality of the dissertation or thesis topic
Relevance of research question(s)
Methodological and theoretical approaches
Difficulties encountered (e.g. ethics, resources, feedback)
Impact on scholarship, policymaking, public engagement
All papers will be circulated amongst all participants prior to the event. This will enable speakers and the audience to meaningfully engage with each paper in order to offer useful and considered comments during the conference.
In light of the current developments of the coronavirus outbreak in the UK and abroad, the application period is open-ended, and the new submission deadline of 29th May 2020 is indicative. To apply, please send an abstract of maximum 300 words including your name, institution, level of study, dissertation/thesis working title, type (poster or paper) and duration (10 to 20 minutes) of the presentation to sfspgconf2020@outlook.com.

1.2 Call for Papers, Women in French Sessions, is “Scandal! Literature & Provocation: Breaking Rules, Making Texts.”, 2020 South Atlantic Modern Language Association Conference, Jacksonville, Florida, November 13-15, 2020.
The conference organizers are confident that this event will take place, although the exact format (in person, online, hybrid) remains under discussion at the moment.
Please consider sending a proposal in French or English to one of the panel chairs listed below by June 1, 2020.
For more information on SAMLA and the annual conference, please visit the conference website: https://samla.memberclicks.net/
Professor Gerald Prince will deliver the plenary address.
Presenters, for these panels below, must be current members of Women in French and the South Atlantic Modern Language Association.
- Women, Life Writing, and Scandals of Self-Revelation
As life writing exposes purported truths about personal experience and identity, self-revelations in these accounts position these texts as potential objects of controversy as authors test the limits of telling all. Many authors have turned to life-writing practices to speak about intimate loss, family secrets, stolen childhoods, and physical, psychological, or historical trauma. In this way, autobiography, autofiction, and memoir, remain potentially perilous terrains especially regarding the implications of others on which such self-accounts unavoidably depend. This panel seeks to explore the scandals behind or beyond such self-revelation. How has scandal served as impetus for textual creation? In what ways has the publication of “scandalous” texts implicated others whether in accusation, in solidarity, or by engaging in broader controversies or social discontent? How have such texts responded to scandal? What role do legal proceedings play in (self)censoring self-accounts? Proposals on examples of women engaged with or implicated in scandalous self-revelations in literature, film, theatre, and other modes of representation from all time periods and all areas of Francophone literature are welcome. Please send 250-word proposals in English or French along with presenter’s name, academic affiliation, and email to Adrienne Angelo (ama0002@auburn.edu) by June 1, 2020.
Chair: Adrienne Angelo, Auburn University, <ama0002@auburn.edu>
- Scandalous Silence: Recovering the Rebellious Voices of Gisèle Pineau’s Oeuvre
For nearly three decades, Gisèle Pineau’s writing project has spanned genres, using children’s stories, hybrid visual and narrative texts, fiction, and autofiction to address longstanding questions about Antillean women’s subjectivity, memory, racism in contemporary France, and the protean ramifications of the history of slavery. Despite the sustained and valuable scholarly interest in Pineau’s work, many of her texts have received surprisingly little critical attention. Indeed, Pineau has penned more than a dozen full-length works since the publication of her famous 1996 auto-fictional L’Exil selon Julia; yet, these texts have not garnered the scholarship they warrant. This panel therefore seeks to foreground lesser-known works by Pineau in the aim of generating a more comprehensive understanding of the richness of her writing career and the breadth of her inquiry into enduring issues of gender, race, history, and Antillean identity.
Revised and expanded conference proceedings will be considered for a potential edited volume on Pineau.
Please send 250-300 word abstracts in English or French to Lisa Connell and Delphine Gras at lconnell@westga.edu and dgras@fgcu.edu by June 1, 2020.
Chairs: Lisa Connell, University of West Georgia <lconnell@westga.edu> and Delphine Gras, Florida Gulf Coast University <dgras@fgcu.edu>
- French and Francophone Women Who Break the Rules and Change the World
This panel welcomes papers focused on explorations of rule-breaking in French and Francophone women’s writing, film, and other art forms. How do these women initiate and navigate change, shift social order, and contest inequities? Examinations of the liminal spaces between tradition and new order and the ways in which these texts challenge limitations of nationality, class, race, sex, and language are particularly welcome.
Papers may be in French or English and may not exceed 20 minutes. Please send a 250-word abstract, brief bio and A/V requests to Susan Crampton-Frenchik, scramptonfrenchik@washjeff.edu, by June 1, 2020.
Chair: Susan Crampton-Frenchik, Washington & Jefferson College, <scramptonfrenchik@washjeff.edu>
- Making Art, Breaking Rules: Gender-Bending, “Genre-Bending,” by French and Francophone Women Writers
In French and Francophone societies, where men have historically dominated the arts, a woman daring to assert her own voice is already in itself an act of rebellion. On the one hand, by entering the literary and artistic landscape, women writers and artists transgress society’s expectations of their roles in the domestic sphere as only mothers, wives, and obedient daughters. On the other hand, by taking up the pen, women directly challenge artistic traditions dominated by men, or enter into forbidden territories. This panel will examine how French and Francophone women authors play with gender-bending and “genre-bending” in their works, in their lives, and in their critique of society and the artistic traditions they choose to write in or write back at. Among the questions one may ask are: How do women creators confront the “scandal” of their role as artists? How do they negotiate scandal and censorship? How do they bend or break the rules of the genres they take on? How do politics inform and influence their works and their identities as women authors? Proposals on French and Francophone literatures, films, and other art forms are welcome. Papers may be in English or French. Please send 250-word proposals in English or French to Cathy Leung (cleung34@gmail.com) by June 1, 2020 along with presenter’s academic affiliation, contact information, and A/V requirements.
Chair: Cathy Leung <cleung34@gmail.com>
- Breaking Boundaries: Teaching Diversity and Inclusion in the French Classroom
This panel (or potentially roundtable) seeks contributions that will engage with questions of teaching inclusion through breaking boundaries that limit our students. Presenters may suggest how to make the French Studies classroom a welcoming, inclusive, and productive learning environment. We will propose ways an educator can help increase diversity, inclusivity, tolerance, quality, and success in the French and Francophone classroom. Presentations addressing underrepresented populations, rethinking the terms related to diversity, identity, and being, as well ways to recognize systemic racism, sexism, ableism and unconscious bias are welcome. How can our teaching adapt to diverse student needs but also incorporate their realities as an invaluable resource of knowledge and understanding? How can we include cultural content which is interpretable or relatable to what students see and experience as a means to getting them to engage productively, perhaps even creatively, in a diverse world?
Please send 250-word proposals to E. Nicole Meyer (nimeyer@augusta.edu) by June 1, 2020 along with presenter’s academic affiliation, contact information, and A/V requirements.
Chair: E. Nicole Meyer, Augusta University, <nimeyer@augusta.edu>

Préface de Claude Forest
Collection : Images Plurielles : Scènes et écrans
http://www.editions-harmattan.fr/index.asp?navig=catalogue&obj=livre&no=65666
Le cinéma ambulant connaît un vif essor après 1945 en Afrique, où ce loisir est plébiscité en ville mais aussi à la campagne. Des entrepreneurs privés assurent des séances qui attirent jeunes et vieux, hommes et femmes, musulmans ou chrétiens. Cet ouvrage présente un document exceptionnel, le récit des tournées de Jean-Paul Sivadier, entre 1956 à 1959, au Sénégal, en Haute-Volta (Burkina Faso), au Soudan français (Mali) et en Mauritanie, complété par ses photographies prises sur le vif. Ils permettent aussi d’entrevoir la réalité humaine et économique d’une petite entreprise de cinéma à la fin de la période coloniale.

4.2 Jean-Dominique Penel, Djibouti 70. Abdillahi Doualeh Waïs, Houssein Abdi Gouled, « Dini », Repères sur l’émergence de la littérature djiboutienne en français dans les années 70, (nouvelle édition), Paris, L’Harmattan, 2020.
Lorsqu’on cherche à cerner la manière dont la littérature djiboutienne écrite d’expres- sion française a progressivement émergé, on se rend compte que les années 1970 jouent un rôle important. Les multiples associations culturelles, les premiers jour- naux djiboutiens et les nouvelles orien- tations politiques qui conduiront à l’indé- pendance, le 29 juin 1977, constituent un ensemble de facteurs traduisant la volonté de s’exprimer et de s’affirmer. La littérature participe à ce mouvement général. Malheu- reusement on a oublié ceux qui ont été les premiers à prendre la parole. C’est pour- quoi cet ouvrage redonne vie et parole à Abdillahi Doualeh et Houssein Abdi, repré- sentatifs de cette période d’effervescence et d’émergence. On y a joint un texte inédit de ‘Dini’, nom qui désigne un ou peut-être plusieurs jeunes écrivains afars.

Description :
Quels rapports les sociétés humaines entretiennent-elles avec leur passé et quels récits font-elles du temps révolu ? Pour ce premier volume de l’Encyclopédie des historiographies. Afriques, Amériques, Asies, 157 spécialistes représentant 88 institutions académiques en France et dans le monde explorent l’univers des productions humaines qui constituent des sources pour l’historien et déchiffrent les nombreuses modalités (« scientifiques », littéraires, artistiques, monumentales…) de l’écriture du passé. évoquant tour à tour l’Afrique, l’Amérique latine, l’Asie, l’Océanie, les 216 notices de l’ouvrage présentent des matériaux historiques de toute nature, issus de toutes les époques, souvent méconnus, ainsi que l’histoire de leurs usages. L’entreprise collective qu’est l’Encyclopédie se veut novatrice : il s’agit de susciter une réflexion historiographique résolument non-occidentalo-centrée qui complète utilement les démarches épistémologiques traditionnelles. Nouvel outil de connaissance historique forgé à l’heure de la mondialisation, l’Encyclopédie des historiographies est aussi une véritable invitation au voyage.
What are the different types of relations that non-Western societies upkeep with their past and how are narratives about the past produced by them? In this first volume of the Encyclopaedia of Historiography: Africa, America, Asia, 157 specialists from 88 international academic institutions explore the wealth of evidence that constitutes source material for historians. They also examine the immensely diverse modes or genres of narrated history: “scientific”, literary, artistic, architectural, etc. 216 entries dealing with Africa, Latin America, Oceania, and Asia, cover a large variety of sources, including many which are unfamiliar to the Western or non-Western reader, along with the history of how they have been exploited. By bringing together for the first time such an abundance of material the reader is offered the possibility of exploring continents and building meaningful connections across space and time. In addition to being a new tool for historical enquiry in an era of globalization, this encyclopaedia is also an invitation to travel the world.
