Seminar
Arts and Rebel Writing. Dissident Images and Linguistic Resistance
3 May 2021
On line – Université Grenoble Alpes/Colloque Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle
To rebel is to go back to war according to the etymology. To start again implies an act of reinvention of artistic as well as literary practices. We must give credit to rebellion and dissidence for a capacity of inventiveness that reaches all human creations, including the arts. More than seventy years after Sartre’s famous definition of the engaged artist, this seminar proposes to analyze the current reconfigurations of resistance in the arts and writings, and thus to study in what way the emergence of new epistemologies have been able to profoundly modify them by bringing certain practices into the field of knowledge. We will be interested not in a cultural area but in a network of relations: those of the so-called Western world articulated to the worlds of the “Souths” that have experienced multiple and diverse forms of rebellion and revolutions, but also ways of living democracy and claiming individual freedoms that have been fruitful for creation.
