The year 2013 was a busy one forIDEA on various fronts. Nationaland international conferences,research seminars, round tables, doctor-al meetings, and book publications allplayed an important role in establishingthe dynamism of the research center’sfirst year of the new quinquennial.

Since lastJune, IDEA’s threeResearch Poleshave witnessedmuch activity withtheir respectiveprojects. MarilyneBrun, who is direct-ing IDEA’s theoreti-cal project, “The Institutionalisation ofDisciplines,” organized a round table dis-cussion with Pole 1 director Jean-Philippe Heberlé last November to setout the project’s future direction (seestory insert for more). David Ten Eyck,Claudine Armand and Vanessa Boulletalso presented their book, Enjeux�etPositionnements�de�l’Interdisciplinarité/�Positioning�Interdisciplinarity, which,along with Marilyne’s project, willinsure IDEA’s research committment tothe theorization of interdisciplinarity.

As for Pole 2, Rachel Hutchinsand John Bak continue to pursue theirrespective projects on comparativenational textbooks and literary journalismand war. Though on sabbatical for thefirst semester, Rachel has maintainedcontacts with various colleagues inFrance, and a conference on the topic isbeing planned for the near future. Johnsubmitted a pre-proposal of his project,entitled ReportAGES, to the ANR, andhas worked with graduate student Linda

The first year of the 2013–17 quinquennial sees IDEA’s projects taking shape.

In Pole 3, each of the fourprojects has also been very active.The BPTI project, headed byDavid Ten Eyck, Monica Lathamand Nathalie Collé-Bak has beenbusy editing three volumes of itsPUN–Éditions Lorraine series. Thesecond and third volumes, entitledTextual�Practices�in�the�DigitalAge and Contemporary�TextualAesthetics, will appear at theend of 2013 and the beginning

of 2014,respectively.

The« Oralité » pro-ject, headed byIsabelle Gaudy-Campbell, isbuilding off itsMarch 2013

conference, « Variation, invari-ant, variété », and hosting aseries of workshops this comingyear, in view of organizing aconference in 2014–15, entitled« Micro-/macro- : quels enjeuxen linguistique anglaise ? ».

The project « Formule »,led by Colette Stévanovitch, willparticipate in an internationalconference this December at theUniversité Paris 3: “Echoes inthe Middle English Breton Lays.”A third conference on “Formulas”will be held next year at theUniversité de Perpignan.

And finally, the fourthproject, « Contrastivité », codi-rected by Catherine Delesse andCatherine Chauvin, started offthe academic year on a rightnote last October with its inter-national conference,« Linguistique et Traductologie :les enjeux d’une relation com-

All told, 2013 was a suc-cessful year for IDEA, and 2014promises to build upon that suc-cess as each project advances inits research goals. §

Rencontres des doctorants, 2013–2014

This academic year’s first « Rencontre » wasdedicated to helping PhD students with pub-lishing their research in Anglo-saxon journals.Chloé Lucidarme started out the evening by

offering a summary of her first year’s research. Sheis working on Eugene O’Neill’s one-act plays andfocusing on the relationship between the body andmoney. John S. Bak then presented to the doctoralstudents a set of guidelines to finding the rightAnglo-saxon journal for their research, and toimproving their chances to get published in it. Theevening finished with a sumptuous cocktail party,generously offered by the Ecole Doctorale Stanislas.

A second « Rencontre » is slated for theSpring 2014 (program still to be announced). §

Round table: “The Institutionalizationof Disciplines”, 5 November

L to R: Master’s 1 “parcours recherche” students: Linda Kemmar, Mathilde Cimelli, Jérémy Filet, Oriane Taieb and Francis Ottemer

L to R: Chloé Lucidarme, Jérémy Filet, Francis Ottemer, LindaKemmar, Charlotte Wensierski and Yannick Paillot

New this year in the Master’s program isa research stage�for first-year students in theparcours�recherche. Each student was assignedto an enseignant-chercheur�within IDEA and hadto complete sixty hours of work on that teacher’scurrent research project. A few of the studentsapproached closer to a hundred hours, havingenjoyed the experience so much.

Projects included working with authors’letters and manuscripts; organizing a conferenceand writing up a call for papers; helping to createa research réseau�and website; and formulatingan index for a book soon to be published. IDEAbenefitted greatly from the students’ collectivework, and they saw a new side to research. §

The first round table and seminar of “The Institutionalization ofDisciplines” project was held on 5 November 2013. Themeeting aimed to establish a continuity between the workthat IDEA has done on theorizing interdisciplinarity since 2005 andthe project on “The Institutionalization of Disciplines”; to propose aconcise presentation of the project and its aims, and open the dis-cussion up to present members; and to discuss the general goalsof the project as well as the nature and date of the next seminar.

The meeting started with a presentation by ClaudineArmand, Vanessa Boullet and David Ten Eyck on PositioningInterdisciplinarity�/�Enjeux�et�positionnements�del’interdisciplinarité, a book that they are currently editing and whichis due to come out in 2014.

Claudine, Vanessa and David summarized the main pointsthat they address in their introduction, including the risks involvedin interdisciplinary research and the institutional issues raised byinterdisciplinary practice. Their presentation was followed by a dis-cussion on the challenge of giving IDEA’s publications an interna-tional dimension.

Marilyne Brun then described the project, which seeks tocontinue the reflection on interdisciplinarity started in 2005 by IDEAthrough a focus on the ways in which disciplines are, and havebeen, institutionalized. The notion of interdisciplinarity relies on theconcept of disciplines, so that a thorough theorization of the con-cept necessarily demands an understanding of academic disci-plines and the impact of institutions and processes of institutional-ization on them.

IDEA members present at the seminar then discussedwhether the project on “The Institutionalization of Disciplines”should be limited to Anglophone Studies (IDEA’s specialization) orif it should be opened to other fields. Members proposed that thiscould be tested with a one-day workshop in 2015, which could belimited to Anglophone Studies.

The next meeting of the project will be take place inJanuary; the exact date will be set in late December once examtimetables are known. The meeting will include critical readings oftheoretical works. §

IDEA’s website just passed80,000 total hits since its inau-guration back in 2010. It hasbeen consulted by internauts inover fifty countries on six conti-nents. It receives on averageabout thirty hits per day, mostlyfrom France, but that numbercan double or triple in theweeks leading up to a majorconference. The most hits in asingle day remains 295, whichtook place back on 31 January2012.

On 26 October, Jean-GuyDucreux defended his thèse,« ‘Power to the People’: Ledéclin de la figure du super-héros dans les films américainsaprès 2001 ». André Kaenelwas his director, and the juryincluded Anne Crémieux, MCF,Université Paris Ouest NanterreLa Défense; Jean-PaulGabilliet, PR, Université Michelde Montaigne Bordeaux 3 (pré-rapporteur); Bernard Genton,PR, Université de Strasbourg (pré-rapporteur); Laurent Jullier,PR, Université de Lorraine /Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3; and Nicolas Labarre,MCF, Université Michel deMontaigne Bordeaux 3. IDEAsends him its warmest congrat-ulations.

erary journalism is, however, todayfinding its rightful place alongside ofthese two respected disciplines.

This conference will unite lit-erary journalists from both sides ofthe trenches who used long-form nar-rative journalism (when the countrywas not occupied) to promote nation-al chauvinism, to trace the war’saftershocks, or to facilitate what istoday called “peace journalism.”

Albert Londres, JosephKessel, Louis Piérard, Louis Tasnier,Egon Erwin Kisch, Joseph Roth,John Reed, Richard Harding Davis,Philip Gibbs and Basil Clarke, toname but a few, covered the war andits aftermath as journalists but choseto capture their subjects in a literarystyle incompatible with the facto-graphic journalism that began emerg-ing at the time.

The conference aims toassess the impact literary journalismhad on various nations’ reporting dur-ing the Great War and how those sto-ries might help to reconfigure certainhistorical legacies, journalistic heuris-tics and literary representations of theWar in the twenty-first century.

Please send abstracts of 300words and a brief CV to John S. Bak(john.bak@univ-lorraine.fr) and LindaKemmar (linda.kemmar3@etu.univ-lorraine.fr) by 31 January 2014. §

Working in partnership with vari-ous research centers – OxfordCentre for Life-Writing (WolfsonCollege, Oxford University), Medill Schoolof Journalism (Northwestern University),ReSIC (Université Libre de Bruxelles),and the Experimental Media Lab(Academy of Fine Arts Saar) – and theConseils�Généraux in Lorraine on theircollective UNESCO project to have vari-ous World War I sites in the GreaterRegion recognized with World Heritagestatus, the research group IDEA isannouncing a call for papers for a one-day conference, “Literary Journalism andWorld War I.”

The conference, which will beheld on the Nancy campus of theUniversité de Lorraine on 19 April 2014,hopes to bring together scholars of literaryjournalism, reportage, journalisme�lit-téraire and literarische�Reportage fromEngland, the U.S., France, Belgium, andGermany.

For as long as there have beenwars, there has been war reporting. Theonly thing humankind seemingly valuesmore than the taking of life is the render-ing of that death in print. From Mesolithicto Neolithic cave drawings at Bhimbetka(India) and Jabel Acacus (Libya) to theAttic histories and epics of Herodotus,Thucydides and Homer; from Elizabethantheatre to Generation�Kill: no media,ancient or modern, has escaped thetheme of man’s inhumanity to man, nor,despite all intentions, its resultant val-orization by a public too thirsty for blood.

Like its sister arts – journalismand literature – literary journalism (that is,journalism as literature, as opposed tojournalism about literature or fiction byjournalists) attempted to expose thenecessities and the horrors of World WarI; but, unlike its siblings, literary journalismrarely made a lasting impression on bothmedia historians and literature scholars.Too belletristic to be considered factual,too timely to be considered universal, lit-

Zombies are paradoxical figures. They fuse anembedded traumatic history of slavery and revolution withapocalyptic visions of future freedom. They carry themnemonic traces of a traumatic past, to which one canalways be returned, while holding out the promise of futurefreedom. Fundamentally beyond the law, zombies unleashthe fantasy of the freedom of war where “we” are licensedto enjoy murder and to feast on the flesh of others.

Il a provoqué des débatsriches et constructifs qui ont permisde faire un état des lieux des rap-ports entre les disciplines et de leurévolution, notamment à la lumièredes nouvelles technologies. Parmiles points abordés : la question dela « scientificité » de la traductolo-gie, son appartenance au domainede la linguistique ou l’inverse, la

traductologiecomme renou-vellement possi-ble de la linguis-tique, l’utilisationdes corpus per-mettant une tra-duction plus fiableet la reconnais-sance de colloca-tions et depériphrases utilis-ables notamment dans la traduction detextes de spécialité, la question de l’in-terprétation des textes et de l’utilisationdes temps.

On 3 December, two Belgianscholars came to Nancy to speakabout literary journalism and theSpanish Civil War. Paul Aron andIsabelle Meuret, both from theUniversité Libre de Bruxelles, present-ed talks in line with the “LiteraryJournalism and War” project,ReportAGES.

Aron spoke about Belgian liter-ary journalists Mathieu Corman andCharles d’Ydewalle, and Meuret dis-cussed three women (American,French and German), and their “jour-nalism of attachment” during theSpanish Civil War: Martha Gellhorn,Andrée Viollis and Gerda Taro.

Both evenings ended with thetraditional cocktail party that allowedfor more informal exchanges betweenthe speakers and their audiences. §
