Centre for the Study of Linguistic and Literary Relations and Contact (CERCLL)

Research unit - UR UPJV 4283

Description

The Centre for the Study of Linguistic and Literary Relations and Contacts (Centre d’Études des Relations et Contacts Linguistiques et Littéraires) is dedicated to researching the circulation of texts, knowledge, and languages in a multicultural and interdisciplinary context.

The Centre brings together researchers working on cultural exchanges as well as on the transformations and dynamics linked to them with a special focus on France and the German, English, Spanish, and Italian speaking areas.
On a global scale, emphasis is laid on relations between Europe and the Americas on the one hand, and Europe and China on the other.

The research covers various fields ranging from linguistics, history of ideas, literature, to civilisation and aesthetics through time. It is structured around three transversal units, working in close collaboration and on a project-oriented basis, and three specialized units which bring together all of the members of the Centre.

• Three transversal units:
- Intercultural dynamics: concepts, places, practices
- Intermedial circulation: languages, media, genres
- Historical transmissions: legacies, evolutions, breakpoints

• Three specialized units:
- Circulation of Ideas, Knowledge and Texts: the Germanic world and other cultural areas
- Linguistic Practices: Systems, Institutions, Transmissions
- Roman & Romanesque
