‘Femmes engagées en France’ – Elise Hugueny-Léger0

Monday 8 March: Talk

Institut Français d’Ecosse
6.30pm
Admission free

Booking recommended : contact@ifecosse.org.uk

Dans le cadre de la Journée de la Femme, Dr Elise Hugueny-Léger de l’Université de St Andrews donnera une conférence sur le thème :

« Femmes engagées en France ».

La Journée de la Femme, officialisée par les Nations Unies en 1977 et
dont le statut officiel en France date du 8 mars 1982, est l’occasion de
faire un bilan sur la situation des femmes dans le monde. Inégalités,
violences, revendications, luttes et victoires, progrès et régression :
il s’agit de faire voir et faire comprendre pourquoi une telle journée
continue à être nécessaire et légitime. En France, les débats concernant
la situation des femmes sont nombreux et soulèvent régulièrement des
polémiques – il suffit de regarder les débats passionnés soulevés par la
publication du dernier livre d’Elisabeth Badinter, Le Conflit : la femme
et la mère (Flammarion, 2010) ou par la décision du gouvernement
d’illustrer une campagne sur le grand emprunt par une représentation de
Marianne enceinte.
Mais comment l’engagement au féminin se manifeste-t-il en France ? En
effet, s’il existe une tradition d’hommes intellectuels engagés pour les
valeurs de la République, peut-on tracer une tradition d’intellectuelles
qui a permis de penser la condition féminine ? Le féminisme des années
2000 en France ne serait-il pas le siège de formes d’engagements
concrets, pragmatiques et ponctuels, comme les actions menées par le
mouvement ‘Ni putes ni soumises’ ? À une époque où il est facile de
penser que les grands combats féministes (avortement, contraception,
accès au monde professionnel) sont gagnés, que la lecture du Deuxième
sexe n’est plus d’actualité, il n’est pas inutile de se pencher sur les
manières dont la situation des femmes est pensée et abordée en France –
pas uniquement lors de la Journée de la Femme, mais dans la vie de tous
les jours.

History and Hiring: The Case in Scotland – By Amy Wygant (University of Glasgow)0

The members of Women in French in Scotland, who will celebrate the group’s tenth anniversary in 2011, were curious to know if the series of perceptions that led to the group’s founding – that women academics are underemployed in Scottish French departments, and that they face a series of gender-specific difficulties – could be documented numerically as well as anecdotally. So, beginning in 2002, I undertook to compile a web-based survey of academic rank by gender, the results of the most recent of which profile the situation as follows. Total numbers of members of staff are beginning to fall, following the downsizing of the Strathclyde department, and are expected to fall further, as French at the University of the West of Scotland is currently under threat. While the number of women has increased relative to the 2002 figures, the number of men has declined by 28%. In 2002 there were three women professors of French in Scotland. That number has currently risen to five and represents 35%, up from 20% in 2002, of the total number. However, of the total number of women, now less than half, 44%, are in promoted positions, and this reverses a slight increase seen from 2002 to 2009. The average figure for women is 49%. The percentage of the total number of men in promoted positions has shown a slight increase from the 2009 figure, and the 2002-2010 average is 80%. Women cluster in the ranks of lecturer and senior lecturer, while the largest group of men is at the rank of professor. One interpretation of these figures, then, is that women tend to be hired at entry level and struggle or fail to advance, and men tend to be hired at senior level and stay put or succeed in advancing further. Anecdotal evidence of this situation is also strong.

            In seeking to understand why this might be, it is well to keep in mind that the problems faced by women in pursuing academic careers are well documented, and that there is nothing particularly Scottish or specific to French or even academic about issues of mentoring, work-life balance, and gendered styles of behaviour within institutions. But the problem is that this situation has proven to be intractable. In particular, the so-called ‘pipeline’ theory – that if more women are hired at entry level, more will ‘naturally’ progress to senior posts–has been disproven in international studies and is not supported by the figures from Scotland. In a word, the pipeline leaks.

WIFIS 2009 – Conference Report0

WIFIS 2009 report

1. General report

 This year, the conference was supported by the University of Aberdeen (College of Arts and Social Sciences, School of History, Divinity and Philosophy, School of Language and Literature), the University of St Andrews (School of Modern Languages) and the Society for French Studies, who made an exceptionally high contribution. Renewed thanks to all, and to all participants for the high and engaging quality of their papers.

 The 2009 conference was characterised by a number of innovations, most of which aimed at keeping the numbers up on a year when the event took place in a more remote part of Scotland: although all speakers were women, the conference was open to men. The fees were waived and the event was spread over two days, with a more or less thematic evening on visual-verbal interactions in contemporary French poetry and art.

 We convened two days in succession, since the Saturday conference was launched the evening before with talks and displays by the two keynote speakers, Professeure Béatrice Bonhomme (Université de Nice) and Dr Geneviève Guétemme (Université d’Orléans-Tours). Acclaimed poet and critic Béatrice Bonhomme gave a talk on Marie-Claire Bancquart and a reading of her own poems. Her selection included extracts from Le déssaisissement des fleurs, Les gestes de la neige, La maison abandonnée and Cimetière étoilé de la mer. Geneviève Guétemme had brought an exhibition with samples of her artistic practice to do with verbal-visual dynamics, and more particularly her works relating to contemporary French poetry. She gave a talk on a dyptic photographic and digital montage using two texts by Béatrice Bonhomme. These papers, given at the heart of the historic campus, were interspersed with a wine reception, a buffet and forays into the adjacent hall where a very Scottish wedding was celebrated, complete with kilts and pipes.

 The next day, we gathered in a Suite in the MacRobert Building for another twelve papers organised around five sessions: ‘Embodying values’, ‘Women of letters’, ‘Crimes and transgressions’, ‘New epistemologies’ and ‘Filiations, creative and destructive’. We had a good balance of periods and themes, with a strong emphasis on contemporary literature. This was not the result of any selection on my part: I had to accept every proposal for the event to materialise at all. Discussions were rich and lively in both languages, in a supportive climate true to the reputation of WIFIS.

 Dinner at a French restaurant and a night-time walk back to Old Aberdeen brought the event to its conclusion.

 2. Debates

 Over the lunch break, we discussed the future of the conference and related issues. It appears that WIFIS 2013 could be organised by UWS in partnership with Marseille (Elizabeth Campbell). However, there was no firm volunteering for the any of the intervening years. Elisabeth Campbell suggested that WIFIS become a more formalised organisation (‘association’) with annual fees, newsletter and a proper structure. This led us to discuss the objectives of WIFIS.

 1)      The debate on mixity

It transpired that although WIFIS has in recent years been a women-only event, this has never been set in stone (Elizabeth Campbell). Indeed, certain universities refuse to fund, or lend rooms to, discriminatory events. However, it seems to be the wish of all four regular participants who were attending this year that WIFIS should remain the all-female institution it has de facto become, or at least that this issue be left to the conference organiser in charge (Caroline Verdier). The reason for an all-female event was put forward by Anne-Lise Feral: WIFIS offers an informal and benevolent atmosphere which is propitious to early-career female academics especially.

 The rest of us fell into two categories:

-International speakers who took part in the debate from their outsider’s perspective. Most of them expressed an opinion. All opinions expressed, except that of Katherine Roussos, were in favour of a mixed event, whether for anti-discriminatory reasons or because, from experience, they realised that men are always a very small minority in women-related conference.

-Three Scottish-based women academics (including myself) who respect the decisions made by former generations in times when macho behaviours were perhaps more widespread at conferences, but question the fact that atmosphere would be altered if men were allowed to join today, and would welcome the opening of the conference to a mixed audience.

 2) The debate on objectives

For the four regular WIFIS participants, the objectives should not be altered. The conference should welcome:

  1. Scottish women speakers talking about ANY subject (including male authors, didactics, etc.)
  2. Anyone, international speakers and possibly even men (Elizabeth Campbell), talking about women.

 To all other people who expressed an opinion on this, WIFIS needs to specialise. Two possibilities: one is a WIFIS conference dedicated to the study of women, prioritising a degree of intellectual coherence. If this is the main objective, WIFIS should be open to men: why exclude half the potential – and very much the actual – researchers in one field if the objective is to promote this field? The other possibility is a conference that acts as a platform and interface for (primarily Scottish) women academics (of any speciality). It was noteworthy that few Scottish women academics showed interest this year (6 out of 20 participants).

 Two perspectives are therefore opposed: while some believe that keeping the objectives as broad as possible may attract more people, others think it unlikely that potential participants would be interested in so undefined an event. Previous conferences had higher numbers, but this year, numbers were a concern, despite the fact that I had made every effort to attract as many people as possible, through thorough advertising and a number of other steps. In order to compensate for the high costs of travelling to, and accommodation in, Aberdeen, fees were waived thanks to the generosity of our sponsors. Other ways of keeping the budget low included catering for part of the food and all the drinks myself and putting up one keynote speaker at my house. Additional attractions such as the exhibition were also meant to make the event as inviting and creative as I could contrive in the writing-up year of my PhD!

 If participants’ numbers aren’t a concern, based on previous years, then there remains to consider that organisers have been hard to find, putting the conference at risk. Currently, there is no volunteer until 2013.

 It has been suggested that future organisers will be free to make their own decisions, which I hope will not arouse ill feelings as it has this year (prior to the event itself).

 3. Organiser’s thoughts

On mixity

This year, we had between one and three men attending most of the time. As far as I am concerned, there was no discernible difference between the times when men were attending and the time when they weren’t. One of them sent congratulations on the lovely atmosphere, which seems as desirable for men as it is for women. In fact it struck me that the atmosphere was very much like that of the French Studies Conference at the Burn, which is a mixed event, but equally informal. Isn’t atmosphere more a question of small numbers and general conviviality, than a question of gender? The only WIF conference I have attended was a larger-scale event where, inevitably, the quality of listening and the level of informality was inferior to either WIFIS or French Studies at the Burn.

 On objectives

Owing to a lack of communication on the conference objectives prior to the conference, I had assumed that WIFIS was to focus on women, and even told one speaker to send another abstract to fit into this prerequisite (renewed apologies to Erika!). I am glad of this misunderstanding. As it was, ‘women’ seemed a vague enough ‘theme’ (not much less vague than that of ‘people’!), and I had trouble shaping the event into sessions. Overall intellectual coherence was something I was unable to achieve, given that I could not afford to reject any abstracts. Yet at least there were enough international speakers interested in the idea of a conference on women to see the project through. Without this ‘theme’, I doubt that many people would have been interested, and my own motivation as an organiser would have dwindled. It worries me that one person manifested interest in organising WIFIS 2011 early in the discussion, but later had second thoughts after an exchange where suggestions for change were expressed, but not really engaged with by the long-term habituées of the conference. If a conference is genuinely floating and underinstitutionalised for the sake its own survival, it should then prioritise, not the statu quo, but what potential organisers have to say – as a matter of fact, that the prospect of a conference without the slightest coherence in its objectives is no great incentive as a thing to spend much effort on, and no great academic credit to attach to one’s name.

 Also consider the possibility of publishing the proceedings: this year, for the first time, it should be noted that two publishers have already shown interest in a publication project (La Licorne and Cambridge Scholars; Erika Fülöp is in charge of this project). Not that I consider publication as the be-all and end-all of any conference, but this is still worth noting.

 Perhaps it would be a different picture if WIFIS attracted more women working in Scotland, but as a matter of fact, the 2010 conference would have been cancelled if it had had to rely on them. Only 6 out of the 20 participants were female Scotland-based academics. Would more women have come, had the conference not focused on women-related papers? I doubt it, since only one woman (Erika) contacted me with an abstract on a different ‘theme’. This lack of interest deserves some thought. Is the need for an all-female conference really there on the ground today?

Call for papers – Genre Arts Societe: 1900-19450

Colloque international et interdisciplinaire

GENRE ARTS SOCIETE : 1900-1945

22-23 janvier 2010

Reid Hall, 4 rue de Chevreuse, 75006 Paris

http://www.reidhall.com

 

Appel à contribution

 

   GENRE ARTS SOCIETE : 1900-1945 est un colloque international, interdisciplinaire et bilingue (français-anglais) qui se déroulera à Paris, Reid Hall, les 22 et 23 janvier 2010, 4 rue de Chevreuse, 75006.

   L’organisation est soutenue par le BARNARD CLUB de Paris, l’association des amis de Lucie Delarue-Mardrus, l’association des amis d’Axieros, le Centre d’études féminines et d’études de genre de Paris 8, l’École Doctorale “Pratiques et Théories du Sens” de Paris 8, le CRESSPPA- UMR CNRS 7217.

   Ce colloque a pour ambition d’aborder la problématique des oeuvres et des écrits féminins dans leur spécificité générique et sociologique et de les mettre en perspective avec la production masculine contemporaine pour souligner, le cas échéant, leur originalité.

   Les arts concernés sont bien sûr la littérature mais également la peinture, la sculpture et le cinéma. Les problématiques trans-génériques englobant notamment littérature et cinéma ou littérature et peinture sont bienvenues. Les perspectives sociologiques, concernant par exemple les théories de l’écriture entre 1900 et 1945, nous paraissent également indispensables.

   Quelles femmes écrivains et/ou artistes ont crée des œuvres remarquables dans les 45 premières années du vingtième siècle ? Quels liens ont-elles entretenus avec la société ? Avec l’institution littéraire ? Avec leurs homologues ? Avec les hommes, artistes ou non ? Quelles représentations ont-elles contribué à créer ? Comment l’institution littéraire et/ou artistique les ont-elles accueillies ? Etaient-elles solidaires, féministes ? Ont-elles créé des mouvements, des écoles ? Ont-elles participé à des mouvements déjà institués ? Si oui, dans quelles mesures ? Comment la postérité les a-t-elles considérées ?

   Telles sont quelques-unes des questions auxquelles ce colloque voudrait tenter de répondre, dans le double objectif de faire progresser les connaissances sur les femmes écrivains et artistes de la première moitié du siècle dernier et de faire régresser les idées reçues sur la difficile créativité des femmes ou leur manque d’originalité.

   Le point d’origine de ce colloque c’est Lucie Delarue-Mardrus (1874-1945), une femme écrivain et artiste très connue à la Belle Epoque, à la fois poète, romancière, essayiste, musicienne, compositrice, sculpteure, peintre, scénariste et diariste (voir le site http://www.amisldm.org). Cette créatrice exceptionnelle aux multiples talents incarne bien les capacités et l’ambition de certaines femmes des années 1900-1945 que ce colloque voudrait mettre en lumière.

   Les contributions se focaliseront sur l’œuvre de ces femmes en relation avec le contexte dans lequel elles sont apparues et notamment la réception masculine.

   Les domaines d’investigation retenus sont les suivants : thématique, critique, sociologique, monographique et génétique. Les contributions s’attacheront à faire comprendre les enjeux sociaux et intellectuels de ces productions.

   Les contributions peuvent notamment aborder :

·        Une œuvre de femme spécifique singulière (approche disciplinaire et monographique)

·        Une œuvre pluridisciplinaire ou trans-disciplinaire

·        Plusieurs œuvres de femmes dans une vision synchronique (approche comparatiste)

·        Plusieurs œuvres de femmes dans une approche diachronique

·        La dimension sociologique des productions de femmes (littérature, peinture, cinéma…)

·        La réception de ces œuvres

·        Les problématiques du genre (en relation avec la production masculine contemporaine)

 

   Les contributions de 25 minutes maximum seront faites en français ou en anglais et enregistrées.

   La participation des doctorant(e)s est particulièrement bienvenue.

   Une publication est envisagée pour les articles retenus par le comité scientifique du colloque.

   Les propositions, de 300 signes maximum, devront présenter le sujet et la problématique proposés, préciser l’état de la recherche dans le domaine et les sources utilisées. Elles seront accompagnées d’une courte notice biobibliographique.

   Chacune doit être adressée avant le 30 juin 2009, à l’adresse suivante : assoldm@yahoo.fr avec comme objet « Colloque : Genre arts société ».

Comité d’organisation : Anne-Marie Van Bockstaele, Patricia Izquierdo.

Comité scientifique (en cours de constitution) : Anne-Marie Van Bockstaele, Patricia Izquierdo, Nelly Sanchez.
