This multi-causal and\nmultidirectional process inevitably leads to the construction, circulation and\nlegitimisation of a \u2018master narrative\u2019 that, once institutionalised, limits\nopportunity for further\/different\/alternative interpretations to be expressed\npublicly. But beneath and around these loud voices exist many others which are\noften neglected, ignored, or actively suppressed and silenced. Crucially, many\nscholars working in and across the myriad of disciplines that constitute French\nStudies and French History, are giving <em>parole<\/em>\nto these peripheral narratives and allowing marginalised voices to be heard in\nand beyond France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Study\nDay seeks to bring together postgraduates ready to aim their cobble stones and\nbreak the silences that persist in all areas of French Studies, focusing on the\nperiod 1789 to the present. We invite proposals for \u200b20-minute papers in\nEnglish or French\u200b\u200b that include, but are not limited to, French and\nfrancophone history and society, literature, politics, linguistics, film and\nvisual cultures, philosophy, critical theory, and other disciplines, as well as\ninterdisciplinary approaches.
