PeTaLes doctoral seminar (Penser et Traduire autrement les Littératures) for 2024-2025

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 2024-2025.

Seminar description

This new 3-year PeTaLes seminar program brings together literatures from the Eurasian cultural area that usually escape the comparative perspective on the question of literary historiography. The objectives are a 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, and the development of transnational/transregional approaches that can be realized at a practical level.

This second workshop questions the possibility of concretely realizing post-national theoretical presuppositions in the Euro-Asian space. Whereas the first workshop mainly brought into play the concept of "nation", it is that of "narrative" that will largely organize our reflection around the various approaches that propose substitutes for the grand national narrative and rewritings of the canon.
