 La Théorie Critique et le Sud global : perspectives contemporaines Critical Theory and the Global South: contemporary perspectives As far as theory is concerned, the categories of “North” and “South” seem to be understudied. However, insisting on the specific travels between (or within) these two vast and imprecise entities seems to help to understand the global logic of contemporary intellectual exchanges. This comparative study thus aims to assess the diverse adaptations, interpretations and difficulties that arose during the travel of the central concepts, as well as key authors, of critical theories in these particular spaces. These processes of acculturations (some would say “indigenization”) are indeed unavoidable: they need therefore to be fully understood.Tackling the examples of the “Southern countries” furnish some important insights in the relations of power specific to the realm of theory. These receptions raise indeed the vexed issues of theoretical neo-dependence, highlighting the processes of “going through” and the role of “filter” that the North plays, in some cases, towards the South. Scrutinizing those processes would indeed make us think about the relevant means, if possible, to “overcome the epistemological injustice of colonialism”, as Rajeev Bhargava coined it (in Global Policy, Volume 4, Issue 4, November 2013).But our reflexion is not only about North-South relations and the intellectual after-effects of decolonization: it will also give us the opportunity to consider the contribution of Southern critical theories to Northern political thought (in the case of Latin American thinkers and the European Left for example) or to assess the various and under-examined South-South theoretical exchanges, which constitute in some fields the core aspect of global research. Through this decentring movement, we would like to understand the conditions of possibility (or impossibility) of an authentic scientific autonomy in our common global context.Date :Jeudi 17 et vendredi 18 novembre 2016Lieu :Jeudi 17 novembre : Columbia Global Center – Reid Hall, Salle 315, 4 rue de Chevreuse, 75006 ParisVendredi 18 novembre : Université Paris Nanterre, Salle 2, Rdc, Bâtiment W « Max Weber »Comment venir ? en voiture, par le train ou le RER.Plan du campus de l’Université Paris Ouest (site de Nanterre)&#160;Co-organisé et financé par / Co-organized and financed by :Centre de Recherches Anglophones EA 370 – Université Paris NanterreLaboratoire SOPHIAPOL EA 3932 – Université Paris NanterreTransferts critiques anglophones EA 1569 – Université Paris 8&#160;Comité scientifique / Scientific committee :François Cusset CREA – Université Paris NanterreStéphane Dufoix SOPHIAPOL – Université Paris NanterreClaire Joubert TransCrit– Université Paris 8Simon Tabet CREA &#38; SOPHIAPOL – Université Paris Nanterre&#160;ProgrammeJeudi 17 novembre 2016 16h30-19hColumbia Global Center – Reid HallSalle 315, 4 rue de Chevreuse, 75006 ParisQuelle autonomie scientifique des « Suds » ? /What kind of scholarly independence for the « Souths » ?16h30 Table-ronde introductive en partenariat avec le séminaire « Généalogies du Mondial » / Introductory roundtable in association with research seminar « Genealogies of the Global » TransCrit – EA 1569 – Université Paris 8Intervenants / Speakers :Maria-Benedita Basto – Université Paris SorbonneFrançois Cusset  – Université Paris NanterreClaire Joubert – Université Paris 8Matthieu Renault – Université Paris 8Clemens Zobel – Université Paris 818h30 Pot / Drinks&#160;Vendredi 18 novembre 2016 9h-19hUniversité Paris NanterreSalle 2, Rdc, Bâtiment W « Max Weber »  Repenser la modernité.
