    Please find below the information regarding the Prix des amis de Colette:

    Le Prix de la Société des amis de Colette, association reconnue d'utilité publique fondée en 1956, a été créé en 2015. Il vise à encourager et favoriser la recherche érudite sur la vie et l’œuvre de Colette en récompensant des travaux innovants portant sur tout ou partie de son œuvre. L’objectif de ce Prix étant de contribuer à renouveler l’approche de l’auteur par rapport aux nombreuses études déjà existantes. 

    Le texte choisi par le jury, réunissant les meilleurs spécialistes de Colette, sera publié dans les Cahiers Colette, publication de référence depuis 1977, et l'auteur se verra récompensé d'un chèque de 1.500 euros. 

    L’Édition 2022 

    Le Prix sera remis au mois de mai 2022. Les travaux soumis au jury devront prendre en compte les éditions de référence des textes de Colette (Œuvres en 4 volumes de la Pléiade, Œuvres Complètes « du Centenaire ») et témoigner d’une bonne connaissance des principales études et biographies publiées à ce jour. 

    Les textes des candidats sont à adresser par courriel à l’adresse contact@amisdecolette.fr  ou par courrier à Société des amis de Colette 8-10 rue Colette 89520 Saint-Sauveur-en-Puisaye avant le 31 décembre 2021. 

    Extraits du règlement 

    Les travaux soumis au jury (articles, originaux, ou extraits de mémoire - entre 30.000 et 50.000 signes) seront écrits en français ou traduits intégralement (la traduction accompagnera l’envoi du document original). Pour les travaux publiés, la date de publication ne doit pas excéder deux ans précédant la date de remise du prix ; pour les travaux universitaires, la date de soutenance ne doit pas excéder deux ans précédant la date de remise du prix. Les textes seront envoyés par voie électronique (au format .pdf) ou en deux exemplaires pour les ouvrages imprimés déjà publiés. Un ou plusieurs prix obtenus par ailleurs ne disqualifie pas un travail proposé au prix de la Société des amis de Colette mais les lauréats antérieurs ne pourront se présenter de nouveau. Le jury se réserve le droit, le cas échéant, de ne pas remettre de prix s’il juge que la qualité des textes proposés est insuffisante. 

    Pour plus de renseignements, veuillez consulter le site www.amisdecolette.fr à la rubrique "Association", "Prix de la Société des amis de Colette", ou envoyez un courriel à l'adresse flaviefouchard@us.es.

    Launch of a  new series with Edinburgh University Press, New Directions in Francophone Studies: Diversity, Decolonization, Queerness. We are currently accepting proposals for monographs and edited volumes. The series is grounded in and guided by decolonial, anti-racist, queer, feminist, intersectional, trans-affirming, and inclusive principles. Here is more information about our goals and interests:

    • Interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary series covering Francophone studies from the 19th century to today.
    • A supportive and diverse editorial board to publish scholarship fostering diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice.
    • Covering all areas of the French-speaking world, decentering the field from the Hexagon, and showcasing innovative scholarship.
    • Providing support throughout the process from proposal, work-in-progress, to publication, especially to emerging scholars and scholars from underrepresented backgrounds.
    • Open to non-traditional methodologies and all disciplines in the Humanities. Open to pedagogy projects.
    • Keywords: Decolonial – Francophone studies – Queer – Feminist – Anti-hate – 19th-21st century Francophone Studies – Disability Studies – Environmental and medical humanities
    • Two mentors are assigned to each project to review and revise the proposal as needed. Board members vote on all proposals on a quarterly basis and make recommendations to EUP.

    We are currently welcoming in/formal inquiries and/or proposals. Feel free to email Dr. Loic Bourdeau (series editor) loic.bourdeau@louisiana.edu for more information or to share a project abstract.

    This new book will interest Women in French, especially Medieval and Early Modern Wifien.ne.s.

    Cait Stevenson has just published How to Slay a Dragon (Tiller Press, 2021),  a terrific, witty, and accessible history that includes such chapters as “How Not to Marry the Prince” and “The Princess Saves Herself”.  The book is race, religion, and LGBTQ+ inclusive, and features women who are well-known (think Jeanne d’Albret) and many who are less so (such as the tavern keeper, Agnes la Paganam).

    This 1845 novel by Camille Lebrun, the penname of Pauline Guyot (1805-1886), meant for a young adult readership of her era is one of the few perspectives that we have by a mid-nineteenth-century French woman writer on the matters of slavery, abolition, race relations, and white supremacy in France’s former Louisiana colony.

    Dr. Maria Tomlinson's book, From Menstruation to the Menopause: The Female Fertility Cycle in Contemporary Women's Writing in French, published with Liverpool University Press on the 1st June 2021, examines the representation of the female fertility cycle in contemporary Algerian, Mauritian, and French women’s writing. It focuses on menstruation, childbirth, and the menopause whilst also incorporating experiences such as miscarriage and abortion. Her study argues that contemporary women’s writing has continued the challenge against normative perceptions of the body that was originally launched by the second-wave feminists, whilst also taking a more nuanced, contextual and intersectional approach to corporeal experience. The cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach of this book is informed not only by critics of the second-wave feminist movement but also by sociological studies which consider how women’s bodily experiences are shaped by socio-cultural context.

    More details can be found here: https://liverpooluniversitypress.co.uk/books/id/54498/

    The author wishes to thank everyone in the WIF community who supported her from her PhD until the publication of this book.
