Vivid voices, or the oral history of this
Workshop
June 6, 2018 from noon to midnight
La Générale Nord-Est
14, Avenue Parmentier – 75011 Paris
Vivid voices, or the oral history of the now workshop offers a day of encounter around the history of movements, at the crossroads of collective and personal itineraries, marginal historian practices, narrative arts that leave room for subjectivity, non-historicized plural histories that do not follow the logics of history with a capital H. These Vivic voices or the oral history of the present will never have finished saying what was, what will be or has not yet happened, a story always to be redone, and re-inscribed in the middle of the present situation: to interrupt the too ordered chronologies, and the repetitions, to propose inspiration to several voices and the multiplicity of the possible forms of the story, to tell what crosses, which has took place, what is to come, etc.
Oral history is not a discipline or sub-discipline of history or any of its interdisciplinarities among the social sciences. It is a question posed to all its silences, and to all forms of distorted relations to political and social temporalities. It is not simply oral in the sense of orality and spoken cultures and arts, but shows how the immediacy of what is said escapes, and how the languages we speak speak for themselves. Vivid voices, or the oral history of the now is an invitation to reinterpret what it can say, and how.

Thematic working groups:
“Institutional analysis and socio-analysis of groups”: Institutional analysis has been claimed by different and sometimes divergent experiences and authors – from La Borde to pedagogical self-organization, from Guattari to Lapassade.
We will start here from the debatable and discussed hypothesis that institutional analysis can be understood as what happens to collectives, groups and institutions, when they enter into analysis, in a premeditated way, collectively assumed or on the occasion of an unexpected event.
This exchange with several voices will question the political scope of certain notions, such as those of analysand, group-subject, instituting and instituted, counter-institution, and their relevance for thinking and acting in the present.
“Dreaming the archive”: Among the research approaches around the living archives of feminist and LGBTQI* struggles and studies from here and elsewhere, transnationalities, translocalities and decolonialities, which are developed differently according to experiences and contexts , genealogies, Dreaming the archive is a working group in several moments of interventions and proposals: to state what of these movements becomes an archive, to tell a collective history through the fragment, to circulate the practices of archiving and documentation, experience and dream our past to come.
Archive and documentation methodologies from field disciplines have already shown how much each imposed category will respond to an outside, and that there is not a single model that can understand what has existed and that connects us. We want to suggest moving towards other ways of circulating our stories, other forms of creation, transmission, reception. Welcome everyone.
