F igure , the Centre for Research on the text and the imagination, invites you to the symposium What do we care? organized by Guillaume Bellon (UQAM / Université Stendhal), Kohei Kuwada (University of Foreign Studies Tokyo) Julien Lefort Favreau (UQAM) and Pauline Vachaud (Université Stendhal).
In addition to the two-day symposium, the organizers will be opening a meeting with Catherine Mavrikakis, hosted by Julien Lefort Favreau The Bookstore Harbour Head, the Wednesday, February 23 at 18h .
"What do we care?" : the issue, led by Mary Depussé under test it publishes in 2000, led a special form of appropriation of past writings, when the movement of backup copy of a vigilance which, in them, could not be maintained such. This same issue is the subject of the international symposium held as part of the ICO (Observatoire de l'Imaginaire contemporary) and axes "Imagination of theory" and "Archaeology of the contemporary" Center Figura research from the University of Quebec at Montreal, in partnership with the University Stendhal in Grenoble and the University of Foreign Languages in Tokyo.
The book is kept, it can certainly be the favorite book, the passion of a more or less ephemeral, which requires just as much hatred, but it may be even more deeply, the book bearer of the library, a pillar uncompromising, which have radiated from many other readings, and to which we return continually. It is this legacy, often valuable because problems on which we would like to bring attention to stopping these texts, worked in a question still ours today, and which where we work. Such readings are not they, upon reflection, the most successful, in that they confront with resistance when they seek, in the resumption of the act of thinking, to overcome?
If this is indeed "unpacking his library, in a gesture of remembrance Benjaminian, it is thus in no case in a polemical intention: we will not seek to return to more the "demon" who seized a drunken theoretical point that the sealant few renowned intellectual frauds reported questionable. We would instead prefer a legacy here, walking through other channels as paralysis or parroting the disciple, not to distinguish between what a reflection deserves to be updated, and what can not the be. If it seems necessary to reconsider certain figures radiation perennial (whatever their age), the study will also seek to open up to other references are subject to a relative purgatory, to deepen the resistance they provoke or explain the difficulties they raise. Among the questions that can be addressed:
- Regardless of times or currents, which are the texts of the past can still Food for thought today?
- The seizure of these texts is it always an intellectual, or should it recognize an emotional difficult to put into words?
- Should we not then reassess the cannon to open it to other texts "minor", outside of it?
Accordingly, the symposium will assume the heterogeneity objects: the book that is kept is not only of literature in the strict sense, since writing academic or artist's book, for example, can claim as much as a fulcrum. However, the floor will not be held unless the wire transmission, which will be reflected, therefore, the background on which the research literature today.
