Colloque international / International Conference Lieu du colloque / Location of Conference : University of TorontoAlumni Hall 400 (121, Saint-Joseph Street, Toronto) Comit� organisateur / Organizing Committee : Pascal Brissette (McGill University) et/and Anthony Glinoer (University of Toronto) Gr�ce aux Sc�nes de la vie de boh�me de Murger, � l�op�ra de Puccini ou encore � la chanson de Charles Aznavour, nous avons tous une id�e, plus ou moins confuse, de ce qu�a �t� la boh�me litt�raire et artistique dans les deux derniers si�cles. Ce mot appelle toujours, chez le lecteur contemporain, une multitude d�images, de sc�nes et de personnages types. Marx, Benjamin, Bourdieu et bien d�autres ont eu recours � sa force d��vocation. Et pourtant rares ont �t� les tentatives pour envisager la boh�me dans ses diverses dimensions. Le colloque international Boh�me sans fronti�re / Bohemia Without Borders explorera cette question cruciale de l�histoire de la litt�rature et de la culture tant fran�aise qu�espagnole, britannique, canadienne et sud-am�ricaine. Il s�agira d�interroger les modes de constitution, de perp�tuation, de repr�sentation, de l�gitimation de la boh�me, ainsi que la diffusion de son imaginaire au-del� des fronti�res g�ographiques et culturelles de la France. Une trentaine de conf�renciers, �manant du Canada, de France, de Belgique et des �tats-Unis, se rencontreront pour la premi�re fois � l�Universit� de Toronto pour discuter, au cours de ce colloque bilingue et multidisciplinaire, des m�canismes par lesquels la � vie de boh�me � a �t� adopt�e, repr�sent�e et transf�r�e d�une culture � l�autre depuis le d�but du XIXe si�cle jusqu�� nos jours. Thanks to Murger�s Sc�nes de la vie de boh�me, to Puccini�s opera, as well as to Charles Aznavour�s song, we all have some idea, more or less confused, of what literary and artistic bohemia has been in the last two centuries. The word �Bohemia� always recalls various images, scenes and typical characters in the contemporary reader�s mind. Marx, Benjamin and Bourdieu, among others, have exploited in different ways its power of evocation. However, there have been few to consider Bohemia in its diverse dimensions. The international conference Boh�me sans fronti�re / Bohemia Without Borders will explore the phenomenon of literary and artistic Bohemia, which is a critical issue involving history, literature and culture from French, Spanish, Canadian and South American perspectives. More than thirty lecturers, hailing from Canada, France,Belgium and the United States, will meet together for the first time at the University of Toronto to discuss, during this bilingual and multidisciplinary colloquium, the mechanisms through which the �Bohemian life� was adopted, represented and transferred from one culture to another, from the start of the 19th century until now.
