About Larca

Presentation

LARCA is an interdisciplinary research unit of Université Paris Cité and the CNRS whose members study the histories, literatures, arts and cultures of English-speaking countries and their links to the wider world. Drawing together literary scholars, political, social, and cultural historians, art historians, and specialists of photography, film, television, and emerging media, LARCA is a research laboratory that bridges the disciplines and mediates between academic cultures in France and the English-speaking world.

Associated to the Anglophone Studies Department at the Université Paris Cité, an interdisciplinary unit, LARCA advocates and practices this interdisciplinarity:

  • by making links between the traditional “literature” and “history” teaching categories
  • by taking a historical approach on anglophone cultures but also by considering objects and questions – among which historical questions – through the prism of a precise, textual or formal perspective anchored in the English language
  • by focusing on cross-disciplinary objects such as visual and material cultures, early modernity studies, or contemporary imaginaries

Revues

LARCA produces one scientific journal : Arts of War and Peace

LARCA supports and is involved in the publication of two scientific journals:

  •  Interfaces, edited by the College of the Holy Cross (Worcester, Mass., USA), Université Paris Cité (France), and Université de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté (UBFC, France).
    Interfaces is a bilingual illustrated journal focusing on the dividing line – the “interface” – between language and the image, two means of expression different and yet inseparable. This interface was displaced when the cinema made the image move, then speak, thus making time its medium and creating a new type of discourse. Meanwhile the old interface between language and the static image still remains and its power is enhanced by modern technology.
  • Launched in 2012, TV/Series is the first journal to publish articles, in English and in French, addressing audiovisual serial fiction from all over the world. Series are analyzed as narrative, aesthetic and ideological artworks existing on an ever-increasing number of platforms.
