Les guerres de mémoires
Présentation du numéro de la revue Hermès n ° 52
à l'Institut Russe de Recherche Culturelle
par Kristian Feigelson (IRCAV/Paris 3),
modération Victoria Chystiakova (IRRC)
13h / 14h, le 26 octobre 2011,
Moscou Bersseneveskaya nab. 20, auditorium 13
Numéro coordonné par Pascal Blanchard, Marc Ferro
et Isabelle Veyrat-Masson
Le terme de «guerres de mémoires» est omniprésent dans l'actualité. Aux quatre coins du monde, la mémoire, le passé et l'histoire sont devenus des enjeux politiques et médiatiques majeurs. Les usages politiques de l'histoire ne sont cependant pas une nouveauté, ils ont commencé avec l'apparition de l'histoire elle-même.
Ce numéro d'Hermès se propose de faire de ces conflits un sujet d'étude et de décryptage. Trois grandes thématiques mémorielles structurent ce dossier : «Colonisation et esclavage», «La fin des dictatures» et «Shoah, génocides et massacres». Ces séquences montrent la notion de «modèles» au niveau mondial et national. Ces exemples révèlent en effet des dynamiques nationales (et transnationales) très fortes au sein desquelles la capacité de «communiquer» est un enjeu majeur.
Enfin, ce numéro est appelé à devenir un ouvrage de référence pour quiconque s'intéresse à la communication, à l'histoire, aux mémoires et à leurs enjeux. Comprendre ces stratégies médiatiques et leurs affects politiques, c'est comprendre comment fonctionnent nos sociétés et leur rapport au passé.

Orientalism / Occidentalism: Languages of Cultures vs. Languages of Description
International Conference
This Conference intended to stimulate the study of the cross-cultural phenomenon of Orientalism, broadly understood as fictional narratives or an academic description of the East (Asian and African cultures) in Western arts, literature and scholarly research. The analysis of interpretations of the East by the West (and vice versa) and their historical evolution have emerged as especially important in light of ongoing globalisation which has triggered the intensification of ideological, religious, economic and cultural differences between the East and the West.
Orientalism, the European interpretation of the East, bears negative connotations in some Asian societies and among certain Western scholars. Occidentalism, or the depiction of the West as seen from the East, often oscillates between excessively enthusiastic and overly critical portrayals of its subject.
This Conference's presentations and discussions aimed to distil a critical understanding of Orientalist/Occidentalist discourses and to question cross-cultural assumptions. The goal is to provide a forum in which old issues, new data, and fresh methodological approaches could be discussed and developed.
