How might moments of upheaval—the fractures they reveal and the projects of reconstruction and recovery that come in their wake—be rethought in the 20th and 21st centuries? What shifts have effected the reordering of tectonic plates in literature, philosophy, art, politics, racial and sexual consciousness, popular culture and technology? How are events and contingencies, sudden signals on a variety of historical, social, cultural, and esthetic seismographs, registered? In what ways does shifting ground open up new perspectives in social thought, esthetic perception, theory, cultural production, or artistic practices? What kinds of force or creative energies are required to shake up and displace epistemological certainties? Where have the fault lines of French and Francophone cultures and thought been situated in a diversity of times and spaces in the course of the 20th century? Where are they located at the beginnings of the 21st century?
We welcome disciplinary specific and interdisciplinary submissions in all fields of French and Francophone studies, including culture, literature, art, film, theater, theory, and pedagogy.
