Représentations visuelles de cultures professionnelles

Visual representations of professional cultures

Colloque co-organisé par Stephanie Genty (SCRIPT, université
d’Evry-Val d’Essonne) et Gwen Le Cor (université Paris 8 et Laboratoire
Suds d’Amérique)

Du 17 au 18 juin 2011

à l’université d’Evry-Val d’Essonne

Ce colloque consacré à l’étude des représentations visuelles des
communautés et des cultures professionnelles, a pour but d’explorer
les interfaces entre cultures professionnelles et cultures nationales,
les points de rencontre et chevauchements, les emprunts et transpositions.

Professional communities may be defined by their activities, their work
methods, their practices and traditions, their paths and promotions,
discourses, values and goals. Since these links exist, and distinguish
one professional community from another, it is possible to speak of
distinct professional communities.

These conferences will be devoted to the study of the visual
representation of professional communities and cultures. We will explore
the various interfaces between professional and national cultures, where
they intersect or overlap, borrow and/or transpose.

Are professional cultures "adapted" to each national context,
"localised" ? Do regional "versions" exist ? Or can we speak of an
"international" professional culture, whatever the professional culture
studied ? (scientific, economic, financial, etc)

The first of these conferences will be hosted by the Université
d’Evry-Val d’Essonne. It will be followed by a second conference in June
2012.
