    Disability in World Cinema: Translating Subjectivity

    Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association

    This panel aims to address the question of the representation of disability in world cinema (fiction and documentary), while moving away from a purely historical approach that would primarily focus on the evolution of representation of disability to consider how Disability Studies have enabled us to reconsider the cinematic representations of disability. This panel hinges on the assumption that Disability Studies have given rise to a series of critical and theoretical tools, as well as to a renewed perception of disability that no longer sees it as a hindrance, but rather as a driving force for creation.

    From Biopolitics to Ecoaesthetics

    Legacies of Encroachment(s) in French and Francophone literatures, arts, and medias

    The reality of globalization, and its inherent movements and interactions of bodies, challenges the radical frame and geographies of the aforementioned concepts. The inevitability of the relation, in its materialisations as contact, conflict, and integration, highlights the thin lines between acknowledging, understanding, and trespassing boundaries in human relations to each other and to the systems that govern their lives. The idea of encroachment in thinking of the experiences of boundaries in human relations captures the inevitable obsession for trespassing. Regardless of its motivation, trespassing has an impact on the body that is transformative. Therefore, the effects of encroachment pervade the body in its relation to itself and its environment(s). In thinking about legacies of encroachments in French and Francophone literatures, we think of the legacies of this concept in literary practices, in thematic choices across geographies, and its transmedial expressions within and beyond the literary canon(s).

    La liberté contractuelle saisie par ses limites

    Le contrat est peut-être le schéma juridique le plus puissant de l’histoire du droit occidental. Son apparente simplicité cache une réalité technique ainsi qu’une histoire dense et complexe. Si sa tâche est celle, apparemment auto-évidente, de fournir une infrastructure garantissant l’efficacité juridique à la rencontre des deux volontés individuelles, il n’y a rien dans cette définition qui puisse être considéré comme allant de soi. Il s’agit pour nous de questionner l’image du rapport obligatoire ainsi que de la liberté contractuelle en deçà et au-delà des formes figées qui ont été produites par la dogmatique du droit privé au XIXe siècle.

    Amazigh Orality in Contemporary Production

    Orality, that is, the culture of the spoken word, is a central feature of Amazigh everyday life, history, and linguistics, and communal knowledge. Indeed, although Imazighen have one of the oldest writing systems in North Africa, known as Tifinagh, the latter is not associated with a body of written literature, an Amazigh literary canon. On the other hand, the Amazigh peoples have an extensive and rich oral literature that includes poetry, myths, fables, songs, proverbs, sacred rituals, and tales, which are excluded from a simple textualist notion of culture and communal identity.

    Corporeal Conversations

    Works of art call out to each other, engaging in conversations that span borders and epochs. From the circulation of written works within salon culture to the power of images to capture a movement, how might we understand our interactions with media and each other as conversations centered around and facilitated by bodies? Papers may address the following topics: the construction of a corpus, the relationship between text and criticism, issues of voice, how bodies speak for themselves, the legibility of a body as racialized, gendered, and/or disabled, the afterlife of a work of art, the legacy of creative traditions, the construction of archives, and texts as living documents. Finally, how might our own interventions be understood as corporeal conversations in their own right?

    Résilience, re-production littéraire et psychanalyse, l’écriture maniaque ?

    From a psychoanalytical point of view, at least from the French perspective, the notion of resilience experiences contrasting fates between its media success on the one hand and the precautions taken by academics for its use on the other. It is open to interpretation, as the spectrum of meanings of this notion is so wide. Indeed, resilience can refer to the idealization of the narcissistic rebound, to the exaltation of the memorial scar, as well as to the after-effects of the - passive - work of mourning. In this session, we propose to discuss the epistemological and even ethical conditions of use of the notion of resilience, through the act of writing - of French literary works of the 20th century - as a symbolic attempt to elaborate the conflict between the depressive position and mania defenses.

    Toys Matter: The Power of Playthings

    The overarching conference theme, Toys Matter: The Power of Playthings, is designed to span the role toys play in our individual and collective identities, the various ways they reflect and shape our worlds (both positively or negatively), and the impact of technology, environmental concerns and societal/cultural crises on toy design, manufacture and use. Sessions will provide toy scholars and industry professionals opportunities to reflect on extant toy research while looking forward to expand our understanding of what counts as a toy, the power of playthings, and the many ways they matter -- for both children and adults. We invite work that examines the power of playthings both historically and in our ever-changing worlds, especially as we navigate these precarious and even perilous times. All play objects (i.e., physical, digital or hybrid) are included in the scope of toys to be discussed including games and indoor and outdoor play spaces.
