Colloque interdisciplinaire du 2 au 3 octobre 1998
University of Sydney
Australie

Organisateurs: 
Department of French Studies, University of Sydney (Francoise Grauby)
Department of French, UNSW, Sydney (Michelle Royer)

La France par l'intermediaire de philosophes et d'ecrivains comme Barthes,
Derrida, Cixous, Irigaray, Anzieu, a vu emerger une reflexion sur les
aventures de la creation. Sans se limiter a leurs perspectives, ce colloque se
propose d'examiner les enjeux de la pratique creatrice, de la gestation a la
parution de l'oeuvre, en evoquant les particularites du rapport a la creation.
Une place importante sera donnee au processus de l'ecriture mais les
propositions de communications sur d'autres formes d'art et de creation
(oeuvres cinematographiques, arts plastiques etc...) seront considerees.

Le colloque encouragera en particulier les propositions qui portent sur:

o	L'ecriture
o	Media et multimedia dans les pratiques creatrices
o	Genetique des textes et procedes editoriaux (conditions et contraintes de la
fabrication de l'oeuvre)
o	L'ecriture feminine dans ses rapports a la creation
o	L'ecriture homosexuelle (en particulier les temoignages et recits du SIDA,
le motif de l'autobiographie)
o	L'ecriture post-coloniale
o	Le corps dans la creation
o	Culture populaire et creation
o	Philosophie et esthetique de la creation
o	Interculturalite et creation

Cette liste n'est pas limitative et nous accepterons volontiers des
contributions ou des suggestions portant sur d'autres themes. Nous aimerions
encourager les jeunes chercheurs et etudiants en doctorat a proposer des
communications sur leurs recherches en cours.

Une publication des Actes du colloque est envisagee.

Les propositions d'interventions en anglais ou en francais (avec titre et
resume de 100 mots maximum) devront etre envoyees a:

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS

RETHINKING CREATIVE PROCESSES
A two-day inter-disciplinary conference
2 -3 October 1998
At the University of Sydney
Australia

Organisers: 
Department of French Studies, University of Sydney (Dr F. Grauby)
Department of French, UNSW (Dr M. Royer)

Over the years, France has seen the emergence of several debates on the
creative process (Barthes, Derrida, Cixous, Irigaray, Anzieu etc.). Without
limiting itself to the perspective of French thinkers, this conference will
look at the processes involved in creative work, especially writing, from the
moment of conception through to final publication but papers on other art
forms (film, fine arts, etc...) are welcome. 

We are seeking offers of papers on the following themes:

o	The writing process
o	Media (including cinema) and multimedia in creative practices
o	Textual genetics and the editorial process (conditions and constraints)
o	Feminine writing
o	Gay and queer writing (including autobiographical writings on AIDS)
o	Post-colonial writing
o	The body in the creative process
o	Popular culture and creativity
o	Philosophy and aesthetics
o	Cross-cultural creation

These themes are not exclusive, proposals and suggestions for other themes are
welcome. Offers of papers in French or in English will be considered and we
would like to encourage research students from various disciplines to offer
papers on their current research.

The publication of the conference papers is envisaged.

Abstracts should not exceed 100 words and should be sent by 1 March to:
