Dans un monde d’hommes : femmes, archives et histoire de l’imprimé au Québec

Du mercredi 5 au vendredi 7 mai 2021

La question des archives du livre a suscité, au cours des dernières années, plusieurs colloques et projets de recherche. Les chercheures et chercheurs qui s’y sont confrontés n’ont pu que constater la présence évanescente et feutrée des femmes et de leurs trajectoires au sein de ces masses de documents. C’est précisément cette question que ce colloque souhaite soulever de manière frontale : quelles sont les traces laissées par les femmes dans les archives du livre et de l’imprimé?

Since its first appearance in 2013, Black Lives Matter (BLM) has become a widespread social movement dedicated to denouncing and dismantling systemic racism in the United States. As the hashtag #BLM went viral on social and other media, a broad political coalition on the international front was developing, aiming to identify and condemn police violence against young Afro-Americans, and, more generally, the persistent racism targeting black and ethnic minorities of colour in the United States. (Célestine & Martin-Breteau 2020; Recoquillon 2020; Taylor 2016).
