2022-2023 doctoral seminar PeTaLes (Penser et Traduire autrement les Littératures)

PhD seminar 2022-2023 PeTaLes (Penser et Traduire autrement les Littératures) coordinated by Centre de recherches Europes-Eurasie, CREE (Inalco), Marie Vrinat-Nikolov, Anastasia Kozyreva and Daria Petushkova.

SEMINAR DESCRIPTION

Cultural history, the study of cultural transfers, World Literature, postcolonial studies and other studies (subaltern studies, women studies, gender studies....) invite us to think differently about literary phenomena, literary history and translation; no longer in terms of the influences exerted by reputedly "central" (Western) cultures on cultures considered "peripheral", nor in terms of more or less stable and closed national identities, but in terms of circulation, métissage and hybridization. The seminar will consider both texts and cultural areas as places of passage open to transnational dynamics and contacts. While the notions of center and periphery work well when it comes to observing struggles for legitimacy and consecration within the global literary field, they need to be relativized when it comes to the dynamics of circulations and exchanges between actors, ideas and texts, which take place in multiple directions. The seminar therefore calls for a decentering of critical approaches, gaze and practices.
