Chers amis, Dear Friends,

The following word "From the president" is the last one that will appear under my signature in our Bulletin. My three year mandate as president of our Society will come to its end in October, and I have decided not to ask for a renewal. I have taken this decision for family reasons.

Le «Mot du président» que vous lisez sera le dernier à paraître sous ma signature. En effet, mon mandat de trois ans à la présidence de notre Société se terminera en octobre et, pour des raisons familiales, je ne souhaite pas demander son renouvellement.

Le moment me paraît également bien choisi de passer la main, dans la mesure où la Société, grâce à l'aide de tous et chacun, se porte bien.

Indeed, within a few months you should receive two issues of Lumen: the Toronto volume (2000) is currently being printed, and the Saskatoon volume (2001) should be out for the Vancouver conference in October. Barbara Seeber and David Trott took over as editors after the Québec conference, and you will already see improvements to the journal with those two issues.

Last year, the Society approved a new Constitution, more suited to the nature of our organization.

La situation des congrès est également bonne. Nicholas Hudson est à mettre la dernière main à l'organisation du congrès d'octobre à Vancouver (<http://www2.arts.ubc.ca/csec/>.) En 2004, nous nous réunirons à London, où Servanne Woodward de Western Ontario nous prépare un congrès autour du thème «Technologie, machine, mécanisme au XVIIIe siècle». L'année suivante, nous discuterons «Imitation et invention au Siècle des lumières» à Trois-Rivières, à l'invitation de Marc André Bernier. Malgré tous les efforts du Bureau, nous n'avons pas réussi à proposer un congrès dans les Maritimes depuis plus de dix ans, mais des discussions ont toujours cours avec des universités de la région. Ne désespérez pas !

The financial situation of our Society should also be a matter of pride. Largely thanks to Frans De Bruyn, our indefatigable Secretary-Treasurer, we have never been in such good shape! Frans' project to create our own endowment fund will be discussed at length during our next General Meeting.

Les communications de la Société, enfin, me semblent bien fonctionner. Grâce à la collaboration sans failles de Marc André Bernier et de Kathleen James-Cavan, notre Bulletin paraît avec régularité. Le site Internet est régulièrement mis à jour. Depuis novembre dernier, sous la gouverne d'Adam Budd, les étudiants des cycles supérieurs de la Société ont leur propre liste de discussion dans Internet. Cela dit, c'est dans nos congrès que la communication reste la plus stimulante ! Voilà pourquoi nous serons si nombreux à Vancouver.

Since I am stepping down, you will have to elect a new President in October. At the same time, we will also have to designate our delegate to the International Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies: Marie Laure Girou Swiderski, after many years as our delegate, has asked the Executive that she be replaced. Merci, Marie Laure.

Au plaisir de vous retrouver à Vancouver.

Dalhousie Review: Call for Papers on the subject of PLEASURE

Is pleasure a social good? An ethical good? Is pleasure an emotion? An aesthetic category? Are the accounts of pleasure offered by Bentham and Freud, for example, still persuasive? Are pleasure and pain indeed opposites, as most informal discourse about them would imply? How can we account for the investment in renouncing pleasure that recurs in the history of culture? Have the critical languages of our own day developed an adequate vocabulary for discussing the notion of pleasure? Articles that address these, or any other questions related to the idea of pleasure, are invited for a special issue of The Dalhousie Review to be published in 2004. Manuscripts should be double-spaced, on plain white paper, and should not exceed 7,500 words. Documentation, including footnotes, should follow the conventions observed in recent issues of The Dalhousie Review; these are consistent with the guidelines in Joseph Gibaldi, MLA Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 4th ed. (New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1995) 241-56. Hard copy only should be sent with the first submission. The deadline for receipt of contributions is 15 December 2003.

Seventh International Conference on Urban History, Special Session: Cities and creative milieus
(ICUH Conference: Greece)

Cities have principally been regarded as the typical space of creativity. It is claimed that they offer the most appropriate setting for the pursuit of art, culture, scientific activity and technological innovation. Theories and ideas are usually not generated in rural areas, but in lively, heterogeneous cities. The fact that cities are traditionally defined as the typical place of innovation and creativity depends on specific features that are ascribed to the city in general, namely their characteristics as a social space, a space of interactions, of networks, societies and plurality. Thereby, urban communication and personal interaction are emphasized as an essential condition for urban creativity. While the subject of creativity, which is attributed to urban life, usually brings artistic and cultural milieus into mind, the idea of cities and creativity is also closely connected to scientific and technological innovation.

The topic of the city as a space of creative milieus originally refers to the traditional European city. However, in the 20th century various attempts can be observed to build such urban spheres artificially in order to encourage the development of creative milieus. Such attempts include both political and urban planning measures related to existing cities, as well as the planning and construction of totally new cities.

At the beginning of the 21st century a new decisive point can be observed: the role and importance of cities are called into question. With regard to the increasing diffusion of information and communication technologies, to the often quoted "globalisation" as well as to the increasing appearance of "edge cities" and suburbanisation, there has even been talk of the "electronic requiem of cities". These funeral orations, however, are only part of a comprehensive debate about the role, meaning and functions of cities as creative milieus in the 21st century. Other scholars simultaneously claim a new importance of the city as a creative milieu.

Papers should deal with one of these aspects:
* A theoretical and methodological analysis of the topic of the city as a creative milieu.
* An empirical description and analysis of the topic of the city as a creative milieu. Papers are invited that deal with European cities from the 17th century until today.
* Papers are encouraged to deal with both, "science cities" characterized by scientific and technological creativity as well as "art cities", famous for their cultural and artistic milieus. Such approach may contribute to linking and possibly overcoming the existence of "two cultures". As yet, it appears to be an open question, to what extent such distinct cultures are actually a characteristic of cities or rather a characteristic of research perspectives. Usually, scholars working on "science cities", are not in close contact with researchers, who focus on creative milieus of artists and humanities.
* Finally, scholars from various disciplines are invited to participate in the panel. Historians, sociologists as well as urban planners are concerned with the topic of cities as a space of creativity.

If your are interested in participating please e-mail an abstract of your paper (up to 500 words) via e-mail.

Peter Lang: French Studies of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries

We invite proposals for this series which publishes the latest research by teachers and researchers working in all the disciplines which constitute French studies in this period, in the form of monographs, revised dissertations, collected papers and conference proceedings. Adhering to the highest academic standards, it provides a vehicle for established scholars with specialised research projects but also encourages younger academics who may be publishing for the first time.

The Editors take a broad view of French studies and intend to examine literary and cultural phenomena of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, excluding the Romantic period, against their historical, political and social background in all the French-speaking countries.

We publish in English and in French.

Please address enquiries to m.c.cook@exeter.ac.uk for the eighteenth century and to j.kearns@exeter.ac.uk for the nineteenth century.

Special Issue:
Interdisciplinary Perspectives on French Literature and History
French Historical Studies

The Editors of French Historical Studies would like to issue a call for papers for a special edition of the journal on "Interdisciplinary Perspectives on French Literature and History." This forum responds to an increased interest in recent years among historians and literary scholars in the many ways that French literature and history intersect. Given the importance of literature and literary traditions in French history, the elevated status of writers in French public life, the global reach of French language and literature, and the historical relationship between the French state and literature, it seems fitting that FHS provide a forum for French literary scholars and historians to consider connections between literature and history from their different disciplinary perspectives. Papers on both the early modern and modern periods are welcome. For the early modern period, submissions would ideally address such themes as: the relationship of writers or savants to established institutions, such as court, academy and salon; gens de lettres and their public; the Republic of Letters as both an ideal and a reality; patrons and writers; hierarchies and status among writers and savants; the question of the literary "field"; quarrels and controversies among writers; and the like. Themes relevant to the modern era include the following: politics and engagement in literary production; gender and the emergence of women as writers; popular literature or paralittérature and issues of methodology in the analysis of comics, detective fiction, and the like; literary representations of French and Francophone history; literature, writers, and the publishing industry; race, identity, and the status of writers in French and Francophone communities. Though it is assumed that many, if not most, contributions will focus on single writers and specific periods, articles that cross chronological boundaries and cover an assortment of writers will be welcome. Guest editors Robert Schneider (for the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries) and Whitney Walton (for the nineteenth and twentieth centuries) welcome inquiries about potential submissions. In accordance with the guidelines of French Historical Studies, articles can be in English or French. Inquiries should be address to: schneidr@cua.edu and wwalton@sla.purdue.edu.

Manuscripts can be sent electronically to the editors of French Historical Studies, Jo Burr Margadant and Ted W. Margadant [jbmargadant@ucdavis.edu and twmargadant@ucdavis.edu] and to the Managing Assistant, Eteica Spencer [egspencer@ucdavis.edu]. Manuscripts can be sent by mail to:

SOCIAL HISTORY SOCIETY ANNUAL CONFERENCE
with the University of Rouen
Rouen, 8-10 January 2004

marking also the launch of Cultural and Social History:the Journal of the Social History Society

CALL FOR PAPERS (en anglais ou en français)

From 2004, the Social History Society will change the format of its annual conference. Instead of a single theme per conference, it is introducing thematic strands running through successive annual conferences. This change will parallel the publication from 2004 of the Society's new journal: Cultural and Social History, and consequently, it is intended that this conference consider issues relating to new directions in social history.

This Call encourages proposals for papers promoting wide-ranging discussions of the present state and future of cultural and social history, reflecting these exciting new developments in the Society's history.

Papers will be considered for publication in Cultural and Social History. Papers are welcomed from scholars interested in reflecting on policy and practice in social and cultural history, including those with backgrounds in cultural studies, history of art and the visual arts, literary studies, lawm and criminology, anthropology and the social sciences in general.

The six thematic strands are as follows.
(For further information please contact the strand organisers:)

Cultures and Identities, (contact Shani D'Cruze: shani@d-cruze.freeserve.co.uk, Matt Houlbrooke, Andy Wood) exploring interactions in their historical specificity across topics, chronologies and locations.
Self and Society (contact Lauren Kassell ltk21@cam.ac.uk, Margaret Pelling) exploring the links between communities of various kinds and the individual.
Life Courses and Life Cycles (contact Mary-Clare Martin mc-martin@talk21.com) exploring a range of case studies and wider theoretical issues.
Deviance, Inclusion and Exclusion (contact David Nash dsnash@brookes.ac.uk, Anne Marie Kilday) exploring crime, deviance, radicalism, the law and dissidence, mechanisms for inclusion/exclusion in wide ranging ways.
Production and Consumption (contact Barry Doyle Barry.Doyle@tees.ac.uk, Matthew Hilton) exploring the issues of labour and consumption, from craft work to shopping.
Mapping the Past, Boundaries, Communications and Transnational Exchangesm(contact David Hopkin dmh@arts.gla.ac.uk) exploring a range of themes from conflict resolution to the geographies of history.

See also the Society's Website (<http://sochist.ntu.ac.uk>), which includes more detailed calls for each strand or contact the Society's Secretary, Judith.Rowbotham@ntu.ac.uk.

Proposals are invited for papers in any historical context, period or culture. They should consist of title and abstract (around 350 words). Proposals from postgraduate students are particularly welcomed. Submission of sessions or panels of three related papers (plus chair, if liked) are encouraged, and especially those for panels which would signal engagement between historians working on different historical periods, or for panels exploring links between history and other disciplines. Suggestions for alternative forums of debate are also invited. There are two submission dates for abstracts. Abstracts submitted by 1 May 2003 will be notified by 15 June 2003; abstracts submitted by 10 September 2003 will be notified in early October.

Abstracts should be sent to:

CALL FOR PAPERS
DEBARTOLO CONFERENCE
ON EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES
TRANS-ATLANTIC CROSSING
TAMPA, FEBRUARY 19-21

Papers are invited on Trans-Atlantic Crossings in the Eighteenth Century, the topic of the Eighteenth Annual DeBartolo Conference on Eighteenth-Century Studies, which will meet February 19 - 21, 2004, in Tampa, Florida.

Trans-Atlantic Crossings addresses the many literal and figurative passages between Europe, Africa and the Americas that characterize the long eighteenth century. From slavery to sugar, from maps to macaws, Europe felt the tremendous influence of trade with and travel to the New World. Conversely, the lands "discovered" by Europeans experienced new development and change as a result of their interactions with the old countries, with both positive and negative impact. The people and cultures of Africa, of course, play a pivotal role in this history. The writings of this period constantly allude to or engage the energy and conflict resulting from these crossings. Subjects of study might include European colonies, trade, slavery, slave writings, narratives of the New World, indigenous peoples, poetry and art of emancipation, sensibility, religious settlements, trans-Atlantic correspondence, travel narratives, representations of Africa and the New World in novels, plays, journalism, philosophy, art and culture, American Independence, ambassadors, war and economics. Recent critical attention has been devoted to seeing the long eighteenth century in a post-colonial light. The object of this conference is to focus on such constructions and representations in effort to shed new light on the relationships forged during the century and to help resituate scholarly commonplaces that evolved without a context of trans-Atlantic crossings.

The DeBartolo Conference is an annual meeting devoted to the interdisciplinary treatment of a theme in eighteenth-century studies. It follows a single-session, discussion-oriented format; consequently we are interested in scholars who are willing to share their research and to participate in the ongoing discussion. In order to sustain this seminar quality, we ask conferees to attend as many sessions of the conference as possible.

We invite single presentation abstracts or complete panels with individual abstracts for each paper. Abstracts should be approximately 500 words in length; in addition to the abstract, we ask that individuals include the following: an e-mail address, as well as a snail mail address, at which they may be reached during the Fall of 2003; any expected audio-visual needs (including special software needs); and academic affiliation (if applicable).

Due date for submissions: September 30, 2003

Sottise et ineptie, de la Renaissance aux Lumières.
Discours du savoir et représentations romanesques.

Colloque organisé par le Centre d'études du roman et du romanesque
U.P.J.V. Amiens, mars 2004

Responsables Nicole Jacques-Lefèvre et Anne-Pascale Pouey-Mounou

Innocent, ingénu, simple ou simplet, rustre, stupide, sot, naïf ou franchement imbécile, fou, inepte, inapte ou inadapté : autant de qualificatifs qui pour l'homme d'aujourd'hui frôleraient l'injure, mais qui, de la Renaissance aux Lumières, ont pu désigner quelque chose de la nature de l'homme.

Pris dans la double tradition du stultus et de l'idiota, irrécupérable et représentatif à la fois, l'homme qui mérite d'être ainsi désigné est-il en proie à une ineptie constitutive ou à une carence individuelle, miroir de ses semblables par sa stupidité d'homme ou par son irréductible différence ? Si l'on peut dégager les constantes d'une telle interrogation, ses conditions, ses modalités et ses conclusions subissent, en trois siècles, une significative évolution.

Les réflexions philosophiques sur l'ineptie ou la sottise posent le problème du rapport de l'homme à la connaissance, mais se situent aussi plus largement dans la perspective, à la fois ontologique et sociale, d'une nouvelle définition de la nature de l'homme : celui que régit une ineptie foncière renvoie chacun à l'expérience d'une nature méconnue, selon des modalités où se jouent le devenir individuel, le rapport à la nature et à la culture, et la positivité ou la négativité des représentations sociales. Simultanément, ou en décalage avec ces théories, diverses représentations ou figurations fictionnelles de l'homme inepte apparaissent, qui le mettent souvent en relation à la figure, elle-même évolutive, du savant et du sage, ou encore de l'homme conforme à des normes sociales.

Plusieurs axes d'étude peuvent donc être envisagés :
- De l'homme en général à l'homme particulier
- Nature contraignante ou création de soi et devenir
- Définition dépréciative ou valorisation paradoxale
- De la nature de l'homme à l'homme naturel
- Connaissance et méconnaissance
- Nature et culture
- Education positive et éducation négative
- Représentations théâtrales et romanesques

Experiencing the Garden in the Eighteenth Century
A one-day conference to be held at the Institute of Romance Studies
London, on Saturday 13th March 2004

This conference aims to bring together accounts of the experience of the garden in the eighteenth century. The form of the account may be cast in the literary evocation of gardens, real or fictional, in pictorial representations, in personal accounts of visiting gardens, in guides to garden visits, in prescriptive treatises on the experience of the garden, or in plans for garden design which take the experience of the visitor into consideration. Themes might include the experience of space, colour, nature, power, solitude, seduction, botany, geometry, architecture or sculpture. The eighteenth century will be understood as the long eighteenth century. The focus of the conference will be on writing in French about the experience of the garden. Given the position of the English landscape garden, or jardin anglais, at the forefront of garden design, comparative accounts of English and French gardens would also be welcome. The eighteenth century is marked as an important transitional period between the formal garden and the landscape garden, in which nature came to be understood as a transcendent presence in the world. This move from formality to contrived informality accompanied a paradigm shift in the conception of nature and of the significance of the individual in relation to the natural environment. The conference will seek to reflect the historical dimension of contemporary attitudes towards the experience of the garden, and to explore the cultural complexities of garden design.

Papers may be in English or French.

Offers of papers should be sent in the form of an abstract of no more than 250 words either electronically or in hard copy by Friday 26th September 2003 to:

2004 Boston ASECS: DeBartolo Roundtable: The Nature of Knowledge
AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY STUDIES
Boston, Massachusetts, March 24 - 28, 2004

The Nature of Knowledge: A Roundtable Prelude to the Nineteenth Annual DeBartolo Conference

Papers are invited on the The Nature of Knowledge: Eighteenth-Century Engagements with the Natural World, the theme of the forthcoming 2005 DeBartolo Conference, a conference devoted to interdisciplinary discussion of eighteenth-century topics, sponsored annually by the University of South Florida.

As evidenced by key works ranging from Robinson Crusoe to the works of Rousseau, nature was a constant preoccupation of the eighteenth-century imagination. But what, exactly, was this thing called nature? It manifested itself as friend and foe, as agency and actor, as external environment and inner state. It was demonic, angelic, helpful, hurtful, inevitable, alterable, frustrating and ultimately fascinating. For if nature was a constant, it was not a given: indeed, the nature of Nature might arguably be the central question of the Enlightenment. The semantic overlay itself nominates the intellectual problem, which emerged from the very insufficiency of words to capture its essence. Thus the Encyclopédie listed six separate entries for "nature," as derived from philosophy, physics, mythology, poetry, theology, and aesthetics, but merely ended up dissecting the word into a tidy series, leaving nature itself intact.

Papers are invited that explore the eighteenth-century preoccupation with Nature, and particularly the problem of fully comprehending Nature as a corollary effect of the epistemological limits of human knowledge. Topics might include but are not limited to:

-Picture Theory: Nature as Landscape
-Gender: Maternal Nature; Sexual nature; Nature-as-woman and woman-as-Nature
-Quest: The end of Wilderness; the voyages of Captain Cook
-Origins: The myth of l'enfant sauvage; the search for the noble savage
-Encyclopedism: Buffon and L'histoire naturelle
-Representation: Scientific illustration
-Politics: the three kingdoms of nature; colonialism and the conquest of nature
-Collections: Cabinets and Wunderkammern

The roundtable discussion will allow four to five panelists to provide ten-minute summaries of their work on the Nature of Knowledge, after which the panelists will engage in discussion and debate. Panelists who are selected will be encouraged to provide some discussion questions in advance (though spontaneity is also valued).
Individuals chosen as ASECS roundtable panelists may be invited to lead individual panels at the 2005 DeBartolo Conference in Tampa, Florida. We will encourage panelists to submit proposals so that the discussion begun here may continue in more depth at the DeBartolo Conference in February 2005.

Critique des savoirs sous l'Ancien Régime : érosion des certitudes et émergence de la libre pensée

Colloque interuniversitaire Jeunes chercheurs du Cercle d'étude de la République des Lettres (CERL), du 6 au 8 mai 2004.

Kant a dit du siècle des Lumières qu'il était «véritablement le siècle de la critique» (Critique de la raison pure). En fait, si le XVIIIe siècle se caractérise par l'invention de l'intellectuel engagé, militant, occupé par les grandes affaires du temps, les idées qui l'occupent, pour être souvent provocantes, participent néanmoins d'une réflexion amorcée depuis plus de deux siècles. Ainsi, bon nombre des questions débattues à l'époque des Lumières s'inscrivent dans le prolongement d'une tradition humaniste souvent animée par un mouvement de contestation qui, depuis la Renaissance jusqu'au seuil de la Révolution, a continûment façonné et travaillé l'esprit de la République des Lettres. Du scepticisme de Montaigne au rationalisme cartésien, de l'empirisme de Locke jusqu'au matérialisme athée, se manifeste une volonté de s'affranchir des savoirs traditionnels et d'éprouver, dans les divers champs de la connaissance et de la culture, les virtualités d'une pensée libre.

Ce colloque propose donc une réflexion articulée autour de la question de la critique des savoirs sous l'Ancien Régime, en s'appuyant sur les perspectives suivantes :

* Politique et social
- Critique des institutions
- Société et individu
- Utopies et systèmes, etc.

* Philosophie et esthétique
- Histoire des idées
- Arts, rhétorique
- Canons et innovations, etc.

* Science et épistémologie
- Idée de progrès
- Ruptures et nouvelles perspectives
- Discours scientifiques, etc.

* Morale et religion
- Représentation des passions
- Critique des dogmes religieux
- Laïcisation de la morale, etc.

Les communications, inédites et rédigées en français, ne dépasseront pas les 20 minutes allouées à chaque participant. Bien qu'il privilégie la participation des jeunes chercheurs affiliés aux départements d'études littéraires, ce colloque accueillera aussi, en fonction de la pertinence du lien entre leurs intérêts de recherche et la problématique du colloque, les étudiants appartenant à tout autre département (philosophie, histoire, histoire de l'art, etc.) de telle sorte qu'un échange fructueux puisse avoir lieu entre les corpus et les disciplines. Pour nous signifier votre intention de participer à ce colloque, nous vous prions de nous transmettre les informations suivantes à l'adresse ci-dessous avant le 6 février 2004:

- Nom et prénom, niveau d'études (maîtrise, doctorat, post-doctorat), ancrage institutionnel;
- Titre provisoire ou définitif de votre communication ainsi qu'un résumé d'environ 250 mots (sujet et problématique abordés).
Pour le plus amples renseignements, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter.

Salutations cordiales,

THE EARLY MODERN TRAVEL NARRATIVE: PRODUCTION AND CONSUMPTION
University of Southern California-Huntington Library Early Modern Studies Institute

In its inaugural year, the USC-Huntington Library Early Modern Studies Institute has chosen as its theme the early modern travel narrative. We will sponsor seminars and workshops on the theme beginning in the fall of 2003 and end with an interdisciplinary conference. Some events will be held at USC in downtown Los Angeles and some at the Huntington Library in San Marino. Contact us if you are interested in participating in any of these activities. Below is more information on the conference, to be held April 30-May 2, 2004.

Call for Papers

Current research has heightened curiosity about the production and circulation of early modern travel narratives and images, and the consumers these works attracted. The kinds of questions that are of interest include:

· What relations exist between types of authors--pilgrims, missionaries, seamen, soldiers, merchants, officials, tourists etc.-- and the characteristics of narratives?
· How did the infrastructure for the circulation and storage of travel information and its personnel--scholars, printers, collectors, recyclers - vary geographically and culturally?
· How did political and religious objectives channel or limit travel and travel narration?
· What does it means to tell a "story" as opposed to "narrate"?
· To what extent are recitations of travel intended for other purposes, such as satire, skepticism, propaganda, commentary, or manifesto?
· To what extent did imaginary travel shape the representation of actual travel?
· Who read these narratives and viewed these images and how did they use them?
· Why did some productions survive while others faded from memory?

The Institute's scope is global, and we are especially interested in papers concerning travel narratives and images circa 1450-1800 from non-European producers and the reception these materials received.

The conference will be held in Los Angeles at the University of Southern California April 30-May 2, 2004. Scholars whose work relates to the theme of the conference and are interested in presenting a paper should send a one page proposal to emsi@usc.edu or through the mail to the address below by September 30, 2003. The conference committee is co-chaired by Carole Shammas and John E. Wills Jr. and composed of scholars in art history, literature, and history. Those who are invited to present papers will receive an honorarium and coverage of their travel expenses.

Topoï de la temporalité narrative dans la fiction en prose de l'Ancien Régime.
XVIIIe colloque international de la SATOR
Université de Calgary
du 5 au 7 juillet 2004

La temporalité est un élément fondamental de tout texte narratif - une narration de l'Ancien Régime dépourvue d'aspect temporel ne peut se concevoir. Le dix-huitième colloque international de la SATOR (Société d'analyse de la topique romanesque) se propose d'examiner la richesse de la temporalité narrative dans les textes en prose de l'Ancien Régime. De multiples angles d'analyse peuvent être envisagés, allant des réflexions théoriques sur ce qu'est le temps à des analyses de textes individuels. L'on sait l'usage que fit le roman héroïque du début in medias res. Y a-t-il d'autres topoï spécifiques à la temporalité d'un genre narratif (la nouvelle historique, le conte philosophique, la nouvelle galante, le récit utopique) ? Qu'en est-il de l'unité de temps conventionnelle d'un an du roman du XVIIe siècle? Peut-on déceler des topoï associés à la nuit, aux saisons de l'année, voire au temps personnel de la vie et de la mort? Comment le temps se présente-t-il à l'incipit ou à la clôture d'un texte ? Autant de questions auxquelles le colloque tentera d'apporter des éléments de réponse.

Tel que la SATOR l'entend, le topos est une configuration narrative récurrente. Les communications n'ont pas besoin d'être fondées de près sur l'analyse de topoï. Cependant, chaque intervenant(e) sera invité(e) à alimenter la base lors du colloque ou au moment de soumettre son texte pour la publication. Un petit stage initiera les participant(e)s à la base.

La date limite des projets de communications est le 1er septembre 2003 (date imposée par les demandes de subvention). Prière de soumettre votre proposition avant cette date.

Critique, Critiques au 18e siècle
Appel à communications
Université d'Exeter
21 au 23 septembre 2004

Nous organisons un colloque à l'université d'Exeter, GB, du 21 au 23 septembre 2004, le quatrième dans la série de colloques sur le dix-huitième siècle français. L'objet du colloque est de permettre un regard sur l'influence de la critique sur les productions littéraires et artistiques de l'époque - et aussi de mieux connaître les critiques eux-mêmes - étaient-ils/elles aussi écrivains ou artistes ou vivaient-ils/elles simplement en marge de la société artistique? Et quels étaient leurs rapports avec les journaux et périodiques qui publiaient leurs textes? Il nous semble que la critique prend de plus en plus d'importance au cours du siècle; y-a-t-il une évolution que l'on peut discerner? La critique devient-elle, peu à peu, une forme artistique à part entière?

Les propositions de communication (résumé bref, 300 mots, avec titre précis de l'intervention) doivent être adressées avant le 30 septembre 2003 à

CELLF 17e-18e / CENTRE D'ÉTUDE DE LA LANGUE ET DE LA LITTÉRATURE FRANÇAISES DES XVIIe ET XVIIIe SIÈCLES

Conservatoire et laboratoire, ce Centre d'étude s'est donné pour mission de susciter, organiser, fédérer les travaux consacrés à ces deux siècles, le XVIIe et le XVIIIe, qui marquent l'apogée de la culture française.

Il s'agit pour ceux qui, universitaires et chercheurs, y collaborent, de relire et faire relire, de commenter et éclairer, de découvrir, redécouvrir, éditer les textes d'une littérature où cohabitent toujours philosophie, sciences - physiques, naturelles et humaines - arts libéraux et beaux-arts.

Il s'agit, en contribuant à les comprendre, de mieux goûter et de faire aimer les oeuvres d'un patrimoine incomparable, dont la richesse paraît heureusement inépuisable.
Il s'agit de restaurer, vivifier, réinventer les rapports que créateurs de formes et manieurs d'idées, lecteurs, critiques, artistes du XXe siècle entretiennent effectivement, à leur insu peut-être, avec ce qui fut pensé, écrit, exprimé dans une langue qu'on put croire souveraine et universelle. Notre littérature ne peut se libérer de sa dette envers les classiques, non plus que notre humanisme se priver des Lumières.

RECHERCHES SUR LES LUMIÈRES, L'ILLUMINISME ET LA FRANC-MAÇONNERIE

Parente pauvre de la recherche universitaire, la maçonnologie a été pendant longtemps le domaine réservé des maçons ou des anti-maçons; de leur côté les universitaires peu ou mal informés de cette institution qui essaima dans l'Europe entière se sont souvent reposés sur les travaux mal assurés des «spécialistes», ou encore chacun a travaillé dans son domaine en vase clos.

Notre ambition est de faire communiquer d'un point de vue pluridisciplinaire la recherche maçonnologique et le monde des Lumières où le phénomène maçonnique s'est imposé et d'apporter aux dix-huitiémistes une base documentaire et théorique qui devrait être une contribution importante à la connaissance des Lumières.

INVENTAIRE DES MANUSCRITS PHILOSOPHIQUES CLANDESTINS DES XVIIe ET XVIIIe SIÈCLES

Ce n'est pas un genre littéraire, ni une école de pensée, ni un système philosophique, ni une classification de catalogue de bibliothèque, et aucun des auteurs, anonymes ou non, dont nous étudions les textes ne se connaissait comme un auteur de «manuscrit philosophique clandestin». Ce qui caractérise ces textes, dits «philosophiques» au sens large des Lumières parce qu'ils traitent dans un esprit critique, subversif, antichrétien, ou impie, des matières essentiellement métaphysiques ou religieuses, et dits «clandestins», parce qu'ils sont diffusés sous le manteau, en marge des circuits officiels, c'est qu'ils sont «manuscrits», non pas par accident, mais par nature, par opposition aux textes imprimés, même clandestinement, qu'ils précèdent dans le siècle; c'est sous la forme manuscrite qu'ils ont exercé leur influence sur l'histoire des idées.

LA TRACE DES JÉSUITES DANS LA PENSÉE LINGUISTIQUE AUX XVIIe ET XVIIIe SIÈCLES

La trace jésuite au XVIIe siècle, c'est évidemment une école de grammairiens, de poéticiens, de rhéteurs, de mathématiciens... Mais c'est aussi une action décisive en pédagogie, c'est la poésie du P. Le Moyne et, surtout, une école du pouvoir imprégnée d'une authentique spiritualité humaniste.

Le dialogue tendu avec Port-Royal n'est peut-être que la polémique visible, inhérente à la pensée ignatienne, qui sait devoir rester fidèle à la permanence d'une vision du monde, mais dans le mouvement de l'Histoire, avec tous les risques de mauvaise foi et de chute dans la libido dominandi de ceux qui ont, pour l'essentiel, fait le choix de la «morale de responsabilité» qui expose à tous les compromis. Le dialogue des jésuites et de Port-Royal est un dialogue intérieur d'essence tragique. Même Pascal devait s'en douter.

LA RÉPUBLIQUE DES LETTRES (XVIe-XVIIIe SIÈCLES)

De la Renaissance aux Lumières, les savants eurent le sentiment de former une communauté qui, dépassant les frontières politiques et religieuses, en vint à se présenter comme un État particulier : la République des Lettres. En tant que telle, elle constitue un terrain d'enquête privilégié dans l'étude de la sociabilité intellectuelle, des modes d'organisation des milieux savants, des rapports que les doctes entretinrent avec les pouvoirs. Alors que s'instaurait une nouvelle conception du savoir, elle fournit le cadre concret d'une réflexion sur la communication intellectuelle et sur les genres propres au monde de l'esprit.

La lecture et le lectorat ont fait, depuis une vingtaine d'années, l'objet de nombreuses études, qui ont mis en évidence les disparités importantes entre un lectorat masculin et féminin.

La lecture est un lieu socialement construit de la différence des sexes. Se manifeste, dès le XIVe siècle, un processus de sécularisation dans les pratiques de lecture à mettre en relation avec un phénomène de désacralisation du livre. La lecture au féminin est l'enjeu de débats moraux où s'y affirme sa dangerosité.

Dans le même temps apparaissent des prises de position en faveur du contrôle des lectures féminines qui s'inscrivent dans une conception du partage des pouvoirs de l'écrit en corrélation avec un partage hiérarchique des savoirs. Parce qu'elle est transgression, séduction, perversion, la lecture et la lectrice se déploient en un imaginaire dont la littérature s'est emparée pour en proposer des représentations multiples et protéiformes.

Territoires de l'historien et espaces littéraires ont été dans cet ouvrage confrontés en une approche transséculaire, transdisciplinaire, à partir de l'étude de documents multiples, bibliothèques, correspondances, manuels, iconographie, et de textes littéraires. Il constitue une contribution importante à la construction d'une histoire sociale et culturelle de la lecture féminine. Il propose un bilan des savoirs de ces dernières décennies et de nouveaux jalons pour les études à venir.

Leland's Deistical Writers and the Elocutionary Movement

Thoemmes Press specialises in making available primary source material and publishing biographical dictionaries to the international academic library market <www.thoemmes.com>. We have a substantial list in the field of Eighteenth-Century Thought (<www.thoemmes.com/18thcentury.htm>).

In particular, I would like to draw your attention to two of our forthcoming titles which I believe may be of interest to you.

Firstly, Leland's Deistical Writers gives very detailed reviews of the works of the leading Deists, from Lord Herbert of Cherbury to Viscount Bolingbroke, and of the responses that these works provoked. This is a key source for understanding the biggest religious controversy of eighteenth-century Britain and a 'must have' for all research libraries. For more information, please visit <www.thoemmes.com/18cphil/leland.htm>.

Secondly, the Elocutionary Movement contains a representative range of texts, chronologically and generically diverse, and written in a variety of literary forms - expository prose, question and answer, anthology of examples, and verse. The set also contains less well-known but important works essential to this field of study. For more information, please visit <www.thoemmes.com/18cphil/rhetoric.htm>.

Our Website contains a large variety of online resources including a portrait gallery, essays and texts, biographical encyclopedia, e-newsletters and other features, all of which are free to access. Please make full use of these resources and be sure to tell your students and colleagues.

NEW JOURNAL: 18TH CENTURY MUSIC

Cambridge University Press is pleased to announce a new journal, Eighteenth-Century Music, edited by Cliff Eisen (King's College London) and W. Dean Sutcliffe (St Catharine's College, Cambridge). The reviews editor is Simon Keefe (Queen's University, Belfast). The editorial board and advisory panel for the journal will be found below.
The journal is intended as a forum for all eighteenth-century music research, thus attempting to overcome the divisions so characteristic not only of the historiography of this century but also the scholarly methodologies normally associated with it. To this end, the editors welcome not only traditional source, analytical, historical and performance practice studies, but also interdisciplinary contributions, tapping into the institutional strengths of many other areas of eighteenth-century research. In addition to standard journal-length articles and book reviews, Eighteenth-Century Music will also include a number of less usual features such as shorter articles (based on the model of the "kleine Beiträge" in some German journals: these can be short reports on newly-discovered sources or documents, succinct analytical observations or even kite-flying hypotheses), reviews of books, editions and recordings, and an extensive "communications" section intended to facilitate better and more flexible scholarly exchange. Some of these communicative functions will also be realized on our planned website. Further, we hope to appeal not just to the straightforwardly academic market but also to others who are involved in various capacities with eighteenth-century music.

The first issue will be published in early 2004 and we would be delighted to receive submissions (four copies please) at the editorial address below, as well as offers to review books, editions, recordings and eighteenth-century conferences.

Editorial Board: John Butt (Glasgow, UK), Daniel Chua (King's London, UK), Laurence Dreyfus (King's London, UK), Simon McVeigh (Goldsmith's London, UK), Stanley Sadie (The New Grove), Julian Rushton (Leeds, UK), Robin Stowell (Cardiff, UK)

Advisory Panel: Wye Allanbrook (Berkeley, U.S.A.), Manuel Carlos de Brito (Lisbon, Portugal).

Corrections Incorporated into Fourth Printing of Lettres d'une Peruvienne

Françoise de Graffigny's Lettres d'une Peruvienne is now in its fourth printing in the Modern Language Association's Texts and Translations series. The editors recently discovered that the 1983 Garnier-Flammarion edition, on which the MLA text and translation are based, does not include several corrections Graffigny wished to have incorporated into an earlier edition. These corrections, found on an errata leaf in only a few of the remaining copies of the 1752 edition, have been incorporated into the fourth printing of Lettres d'une Peruvienne. They will also be incorporated into the next printing of the companion volume, the English translation entitled Letters from a Peruvian Woman. Instructors requiring a desk copy of either corrected printing are invited to contact Marcia Henry at the MLA (mhenry@mla.org; tel.: 646-576-5042; fax: 646-458-0030).

THE BURNEY ENSEMBLE PRESENTS
DR. BURNEY'S MUSICAL JOURNEYS 2003/04

The Amorous Flute
Saturday, September 27 at 8 pm
A sensuous programme of music for early flutes and recorders. In 1740, Hubert le Blanc contrasted the flute's supple, round "masculine" sound with the recorder's tender and sonorous "feminine" qualities. The marriage of the two creates an intoxicating blend of colour, timbre and texture.

What Can We Poor Females Do?
Saturday, November 22 at 8 pm
From courtesan to princess to nun and almost everything in between, this programme, featuring Calgary soprano Julie Harris, celebrates the legacy of spirited and talented women. Taking Henry Purcell's saucy song of the same name as its starting point, The Burney Ensemble sets out to prove just what poor females can do!

Pleasure Gardens
Saturday, January 24 at 8 pm
Vancouver's own Phoebe MacRae joins The Burney Ensemble in a programme of music from the pleasure gardens of London. Featuring works by J.C. Bach, Handel, and others, we offer you a tiny hint of spring in the middle of Vancouver's deep, dark and rainy winter.

The Godfather
Saturday, March 20 at 8 pm
The Burney Ensemble pairs the incomparable elegance, urbanity and grace of G.P. Telemann with the intensity, introspection and poetry of his godson Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach.

All concerts take place at St. Mark's Trinity Church, 1805 Larch Street at West 2nd in Vancouver. Subscriptions $65 General/ $50 Senior; Single Tickets $20 General/ $15 Senior/ $10 Student (at the door)/ children 12 and under free.

HALIFAX, le 17 juin 2003— Vers une stratégie de recherche canadienne pour la diffusion des connaissances

Un groupe de chercheurs de l’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada, de l’Université de Montréal et de l’University of Western Ontario se préparent à lancer une étude biennale portant sur la diffusion des connaissances au Canada. En s’appuyant sur une méthodologie novatrice, le directeur des recherches, William F. Birdsall, et ses collaborateurs attitrés, Jean-Claude Guédon et Robert E. Babe, ainsi qu’une équipe de collaborateurs et de partenaires, examineront le système actuel de diffusion des connaissances scientifiques, et détermineront si le Canada doit établir une stratégie de recherche nationale dans ce domaine.

Les connaissances acquises dans le cadre de recherches savantes contribuent au bien-être économique, social et culturel d’un pays. Toutefois, ces recherches ont peu de valeur si elles ne sont pas partagées et diffusées à grande échelle. Actuellement, le système canadien de diffusion des connaissances scientifiques fait face à plusieurs défis, notamment : les nouvelles technologies, la globalisation et les tendances changeantes au niveau de la recherche. La réaction canadienne à l’impact de ces facteurs déterminera de sa capacité à utiliser efficacement les connaissances scientifiques et à demeurer concurrentiel sur la scène internationale. Cette étude permettra de déterminer les secteurs critiques au sein du système de communication savante canadien, et proposera une stratégie de recherche exhaustive en ce qui concerne la diffusion des connaissances au Canada.

La participation des chercheurs canadiens, des utilisateurs et des créateurs des connaissances scientifiques est un aspect essentiel de cette étude. L’équipe de recherche utilisera un processus de création de consensus par le truchement d’Internet, qui lui permettra de recueillir les commentaires des chercheurs canadiens et de la communauté des intervenants en général.

L’étude est financée par le Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines et l’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada. De plus, des membres de l’Institut canadien de l'information scientifique et technique, du Projet canadien des licences de site nationales, de Dalhousie University et de la Bibliothèque nationale du Canada y collaborent.

BÉNÉVOLES RECHERCHÉS

Êtes-vous intéressé à aider à façonner l’avenir de la communication savante au Canada ?

L’Association des bibliothèques de recherche du Canada (ABRC) effectue une étude sur la diffusion de la recherche savante au Canada. Les connaissances acquises grâce à la recherche savante contribuent grandement au développement économique, social et culturel d’une nation. Le système canadien de diffusion de connaissances en recherche subit les effets de la nouvelle technologie, de la mondialisation et de l’évolution des habitudes de recherche. Cette étude déterminera les zones critiques à étudier parmi le système de communication savante au Canada et proposera une stratégie de recherche nationale pour la diffusion des connaissances au Canada.
À titre de concepteurs et d’utilisateurs des connaissances savantes, les chercheurs voulant façonner l’avenir du système de communication savante au Canada doivent absolument intervenir. Contrairement aux autres études qui s’appuient beaucoup sur les opinions des «spécialistes», cette étude demandera aux chercheurs de participer activement au façonnement de leur système.

Cette étude a besoin de dix chercheurs canadiens pour participer à un groupe virtuel d’experts qui discuteront et débattront des questions concernant la diffusion de connaissances savantes. Par l’intermédiaire du Web, on présentera à ce groupe les opinions de divers spécialistes et intervenants de l’ensemble du milieu, et le groupe tentera ensuite d’en arriver à un consensus permettant d’atteindre les objectifs de l’étude.

Les membres du groupe d’experts, qui en seront à diverses étapes de leur carrière, seront choisis parmi plusieurs disciplines et dans divers emplacements géographiques; ils devront se soumettre aux activités suivantes :

1. Se présenter à une séance d’un jour à Ottawa en l’automne 2003 pour passer en revue les documents d’information, choisir les points que des spécialistes devront présenter au groupe d’experts, et établir un horaire.

2. Être disponible à leur ordinateur connecté à Internet pendant les deux jours d’exposés virtuels en l’hiver 2003.

3. Assister à une réunion de consensus de deux jours à Halifax en l’hiver 2004 pour discuter des problèmes et produire un rapport avec l’aide d’un animateur professionnel.

Toutes les dépenses liées aux réunions à Ottawa et à Halifax seront payées par l’étude.

Si vous êtes intéressés à prendre part à cette étude en tant que membre du groupe d’experts, veuillez soumettre votre demande sur le site Web de l’étude, Vers une stratégie de recherche canadienne de diffusion des connaissances, <http://www.kdstudy.ca/invite.html> avant le 1er octobre, 2003. Cette étude est financée par une bourse de recherche-développement du Conseil de recherches en sciences humaines du Canada et l’ABRC.

HALIFAX, June 17, 2003—Towards a Canadian Research Strategy for Knowledge Dissemination

A group of researchers from the Canadian Association of Research Libraries, l’Université de Montréal, and the University of Western Ontario are launching a two-year study of knowledge dissemination in Canada. Using an innovative methodology, the investigators, William F. Birdsall, Jean-Claude Guédon, and Robert E. Babe, along with a team of collaborators and partners, will examine the current system for disseminating research knowledge and identify whether Canada needs a national research strategy in this area.

Knowledge gained through scholarly research contributes to economic, social, and cultural well-being. However, this research has little value if it is not shared and disseminated widely. Currently, the Canadian system for disseminating research knowledge is being challenged on several fronts, by new technology, globalization, and changing research patterns. Canada’s response to these drivers will determine its ability to make use of research knowledge and remain competitive on the international scene. This study will identify critical areas within the Canadian scholarly communication system that must be addressed and propose a comprehensive research strategy for knowledge dissemination in Canada.

Participation by Canadian researchers, the users and creators of knowledge, is a crucial aspect of this study. Investigators will employ a web-based consensus process to collect the input of Canadian researchers and the larger stakeholder community.

The study is funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries.   Members of the Canada Institute for Scientific and Technical Information, the Canadian National Site Licensing Project, Dalhousie University, and the National Library of Canada are collaborating in the study.

VOLUNTEERS WANTED

Are you interested in helping shape the future of scholarly communication in Canada?

The Canadian Association of Research Libraries (CARL) is conducting a study on the dissemination of scholarly research in Canada. The knowledge gained through scholarly research contributes tremendously to the economic, social, and cultural development of a nation. The Canadian system for disseminating research knowledge is being transformed by new technology, globalization, and changing research patterns. This study will identify critical areas within the Canadian scholarly communication system that must be addressed and propose a national research strategy on knowledge dissemination in Canada.

As the creators and users of scholarly knowledge, the input of researchers in shaping the future of the scholarly communication system in Canada is crucial. Unlike other studies that rely heavily on the opinions of "experts" this study will be asking researchers to actively participate in shaping their system.

The study is looking for ten Canadian-based researchers to participate in a virtual panel that will discuss and debate the issues of scholarly knowledge dissemination. Using a web-based process, the panel will be introduced to the opinions of a variety of experts and the larger stakeholder community, and will then employ a consensus process to reach the study objectives.

Panel members will be selected from a variety of disciplines, geographical locations, and stages in their careers and must commit to the following activities:

1. Attending a one-day meeting in Ottawa in Fall, 2003, to review background material, select issues requiring presentations to the panel by experts, and its schedule.

2. Being available at a computer with an Internet connection for 2 days of virtual presentations in early, 2004.

3. Attending a two-day consensus meeting in Halifax in January, 2004, to discuss issues and produce a report with the assistance of a professional facilitator.

All expenses incurred during meetings in Ottawa and Halifax will be paid for by the study.

If you are interested in participating in this study as a panel member, please submit your application no later than October 1, 2003, at the study website, Towards a Canadian Research Strategy for Knowledge Dissemination, <http://www.kdstudy.ca/invite.html>.  This study is funded by a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada Research Development Grant and the Canadian Association of Research Libraries.
