(Calenda ad 1145590)

Power and knowledge are inextricably linked. They nourish and engender each other, building hegemonic frameworks that fluctuate according to time, geography and culture. When one or the other is called into question, a crisis of legitimacy arises, and takes the form of contentious discourses and practices, often associated with the emergence of counter-knowledge and counter-power. The colloquium organized by the IMAGER laboratory (Institut des mondes anglophone, germanique et roman, Université Paris-Est Créteil) aims to offer a fresh look at contestation through the prism of interactions between power and knowledge. Like the various research teams that make up the laboratory, the colloquium is resolutely trans-disciplinary, and aims to highlight the work of researchers in linguistics, didactics, the arts and literature, the history of ideas and civilization.
