<p><font style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">In the eyes of many, France was the centre of the world throughout the modern age. Home of the Revolution
and the Rights of Man, heart of a vast colonial empire, capital of the literary, fashion and art worlds, France, and Paris in particular, was at once historical and mythical. Today, following upon a sequence of ‘turns’, from the postcolonial to the global,
this centre has given way to multiple centres, to conflicting and complementary sites of physical, economic and cultural exchange. As France has transitioned from a colonial power to a central member of the European Union, it has been forced to negotiate immigration
policies, the rise of political extremism and the growing unrest over the linguistic, cultural and spatial borders that divide French society. Debates about French national identity rage in political and cultural sectors: while some seek to bolster a weakened
idea of ‘Frenchness’, others, for example the signatories of the 2007 </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">Littérature-monde </span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">manifesto,
aim to redefine or ‘world’ that identity.</span></font></p>
<p><font style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">At the same time, the ‘global turn’ in French studies has encouraged scholars to re-examine French literature,
language, culture and history through a new, decentred perspective. Recent criticism in literature and history, for example, has returned to early modern literary texts and spaces as well as to major historical events like the French Revolution, exploring
the ways in which these traditions and events were not determined in a cultural vacuum, but, as Peter Hulme has noted, ‘were the product[s] of constant, intricate, but mostly unacknowledged traffic with the non- European world’.</span></font></p>

<p><font style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; "><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; ">The goal of this colloquium is to offer an image of global France and global French, past, present and
future. How have French culture and politics been shaped by encounters with European neighbours and with the non-European world? How do contemporary migratory patterns and networks between France and the wider world compare to historical ones? How have neo-colonial
practices been reshaped by globalized markets and transnational capital? How have various art forms allowed for the articulation of displacement, community and solidarity throughout French history and into the global present? In short, is the global a new
horizon, or one that we are just discovering?</span></font></p>
