HORS-CADRE

From Wednesday, September 22nd to Friday, September 24th 

Centre de Colloques, room 100

Organization : Mathilde Louette (LARCA - Université de Paris), Charlotte Le Merdy (Institut des Amériques) and Juliette Serafini (Institut des Amériques)

The 2021 Congress of the Institut des Amériques will feature an exhibition destined to valorize young research and the work of doctoral students and young Americanist researchers. In addition to the visibility given to recent publications, award-winning research works and recent seminars organized by the young researchers of the Institut des Amériques, this exhibition aims to showcase the less visible aspects of research and final media products. This includes resources, supports, materials, experiences and attitudes that transform the doctorate process into a period of intense creativity that surpasses the academic requirements which the final project needs to meet. The goal is to render the “out of the frame” processes visible.

After a survey among doctoral and post-doctoral students, and young researchers it can be seen that the valorization of research stays attached to the academic institutions, in order to legitimize work within a circle of experts. Most often it is the final works that are valorized. However this work is the result of a process that engages the body and mind and is an interrelation between the scientific and daily worlds.

According to the experience of the interviewed doctoral and post-doctoral students, and young researchers, a large ray of places, activities, attitudes, interactions, etc., stimulate the process of reflection, complete research and accompany writing. What are they? What are the forms, the practices and the rituals behind the research process?
