[FRENCH VERSION]

IRCAV, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3
Studies in French Cinema

COMÉDIES FRANÇAISES CONTEMPORAINES :
NOUVELLES TENDANCES, NOUVEAUX ENJEUX, NOUVELLES APPROCHES
15ème Colloque SFC

Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3


Appel à communication


Pour célébrer son quinzième anniversaire, l’association Studies in French Cinema organise son colloque à Paris, en association avec l’IRCAV, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3, les 11 et 12 juin 2015. Afin de rassembler les chercheurs des mondes anglophones et francophones qui travaillent sur le cinéma français, les communications se feront en anglais ou en français.
Ce colloque, consacré à la comédie française contemporaine, a pour ambition d’explorer un genre, qui est de très loin le plus populaire et le plus prolifique du cinéma français, mais qui fait encore l’objet de peu de travaux approfondis dans le champ académique. Il s’agira notamment de rendre compte de la variété des comédies (de leurs formules, de leurs registres et des effets visés par le comique), d’analyser les nouvelles tendances à l’œuvre dans ce genre protéiforme, et d’approfondir les enjeux socio-culturels, genrés et ethniques de films qui, en atténuant par le rire aussi bien les stéréotypes réactionnaires que les transgressions contestatrices, expriment de manière incomparable changements sociaux et résistances.
On attend plus particulièrement des contributions sur :

•      Les nouvelles tendances de la comédie : résurgence de la comédie musicale ; développement des « comédies d’auteur » ; comédie et identités ethniques ; etc.

•      La dimension nationale/transnationale/internationale de la comédie : l’inscription d’un genre national dans une médiaculture globale ; l’appropriation de formules comiques comme par exemple celle de la comédie romantique

•      Les enjeux de genre, de classe et/ou d’ethnicité de la comédie contemporaine

•      L’économie, la production et les publics de la comédie

•      Les stars, acteurs et actrices du genre

Conférencières invitées:
Mireille Rosello, professeure à l’Universiteit van Amsterdam
Ginette Vincendeau, professeure à King’s College, London

Toutes les interventions auront lieu en séance plénière, et leur durée sera de 20 minutes.
Les propositions de communication (200 mots) accompagnées d’une brève notice biographique (100 mots) et votre affiliation institutionnelle sont à adresser avant le 25 janvier 2015 aux deux adresses suivantes :

Call for Papers


To celebrate its fifteenth anniversary, Studies in French Cinema will hold its annual conference in Paris, in association with IRCAV, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3, on 11-12 June 2015. Papers will be in English or French to enable the broadest possible exchange between researchers in Anglophone and Francophone countries.
The theme of the conference is contemporary French comedy. This is by far the most popular and the most prolific genre in French cinema, and yet it has received relatively little sustained attention from French cinema researchers. The conference aims to explore comedy in all its varieties: its formulas, its registers, its comic effects. It will analyse new trends in this multifaceted genre, and explore in depth the socio-cultural, gender and ethnic issues in films that use laughter to attenuate reactionary stereotypes as well as to present radical challenges to those stereotypes. In so doing, comedies offer a litmus test for social change and resistance to change.
We welcome papers that focus on:

•      New trends, such as the musical comedy, the ‘auteur comedy’, comedies focusing on ethnic identities

•      The national/transnational dimensions of comedy: the embedding of national genre in global media culture, the appropriation of comic formulas such as the rom-com;

•      Questions of gender, class, ethnicity in contemporary comedy;

•      The economy, production and audiences of comedy;

•      The stars and actors of the genre.

Keynote speakers:
Mireille Rosello, Professor at the Universiteit van Amsterdam
Ginette Vincendeau, Professor at King’s College, London


All papers will be in plenary sessions and will last 20 minutes. Proposals of no more than 200 words should be sent with a brief biography (100 words) and affiliation before the 25 January 2015 to both of the following:
