The Centre de recherches Europes-Eurasie, CREE (Inalco) is pleased to invite you to the PeTaLes (Penser et Traduire autrement les Littératures) doctoral seminar for the year 2023-2024, on the theme: "What models for literary history in Euro-Asian spaces"?
Seminar description
This new 3-year PeTaLes seminar program brings into dialogue literatures from the Euro-Asian cultural area that usually escape the comparative perspective on the question of literary historiography. The objectives are the critical confrontation of past and present historiographical models with these literatures, a reflection on the epistemological, institutional and normative conditions that presided over the elaboration of the models, the development of transnational/transregional approaches feasible at a practical level.
- 2023-2024: Literary historiography between national and world literature
The first year will establish a diagnosis of literary history as it is written in the Eurasian space and a genealogy of this historiography. The relationship between literary history, nation, region and world will be at the heart of our reflection. What can we use today of the traditional visions of literary history, and at what cost? What is the function of maintenance in the national model?
