POUVOIR, LETTRES, NORMES (POLEN)
EA 4710 - UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS
Emerging from the collaboration of literary historians belonging to the META research laboratory
and the “Littératures et civilisations” and “Savoirs et pouvoirs de l’Antiquite à nos jours” research
centres, the PoLeN (Pouvoirs, Lettres, Normes) research laboratory is a pluridisciplinary group of
researchers from the fields of history, literature, linguistics, anthropology and law. It comprises
three main research centers - on late medieval culture, early modern culture, and modern and contemporary culture
- each of which is dedicated to investigation of the ways in which texts from a range of historical periods engage with
questions of power and authority, particularly as regards their role in the dissemination of the discourses that prescribe
societal norms in any given period and in the potential resistance to these norms.
QUALITÉ DE VIE ET SANTÉ PSYCHOLOGIQUE (QUALIPSY)
EE 1901 - UNIVERSITÉ DE TOURS
It is a new research team (an emergent team) led by Prof. Evelyne Fouquereau and
Prof. Christian Réveillère and hosted in the faculty of the “Arts and Human Sciences “
(Department of Psychology). QualiPsy is a research team focused on quality of life and
psychological health at adulthood. It is focused on the analysis of (i) psychological determinants (individual, group,
organizational and environmental) and (ii) mechanisms and consequences (individual, group and organizational) of the
alteration vs. optimization of the quality of life and psychological health in the adult population, both in general and
in specific life contexts (e.g., work, illness, vulnerable situations). Research is carried under occupational psychology,
clinical and pathological psychology. It is characterized by the plurality of theoretical and methodological approaches
(quantitative, qualitative or quasi-experimental). The goals of most of the studies realized by Qualipsy researchers are
to innovate or improve the current intervention systems on human health.
RÉCEPTIONS ET MÉDIATIONS DE LITTÉRATURES ET DE
CULTURES ÉTRANGÈRES ET COMPARÉES (RÉMÉLICE)
EA 4709 - UNIVERSITÉ D’ORLÉANS
The RÉMÉLICE laboratory was born as a member of the Federation for the Study of
Contemporary Civilizations (FE2C, with the universities of Poitiers, Limoges, La Rochelle,
Clermont-Ferrand), as well as of the ALMOREAL Network (universities of Anger, Le Mans
and Orléans), which works on cultural exchanges and intersecting views between the
Spanish and Spanish-American worlds.
The aim of the RÉMÉLICE laboratory is to bring together teacher-researchers and doctoral students working in the fields
of the arts, literature, languages and the human and social sciences in an international perspective, with a particular
interest in the study of language-cultures and the notion of cultural transfer. Its members study the English-speaking
world, Spain, Latin American countries, Japan, as well as the French-speaking world, often with comparative aims. The
laboratory also seeks to overcome disciplinary barriers, national or linguistic, to study the different forms of cultural
transfer that exist.
