The Center for Body, Mind, and
Culture
of the Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters,
Florida Atlantic University
in collaboration with the Department of Languages,
Linguistics, and Comparative Literature and the English
Graduate Students Society presents a two-day international
conference March 26-27, 2010
French
Cultures of Embodiment
The title of this conference conveys
a double plurality: First, the diverse styles of embodiment in
the plurality of French-speaking cultures that also range far
beyond the French territory of Europe, extending into Africa,
Asia, and the Americas. Second, the plurality of embodied arts
and aesthetic practices in these different French-speaking
cultures: dance, music, drama, architecture, fashion, cosmetics,
cuisine, but also film, performance, poetry, and other literary
genres. This conference will explore both of these
pluralist axes to probe the rich and deeply embodied cultures of
Francophonie. To register for this conference please
