Each year a seminar is held by the students for the whole team. The art history subteam develops research in art history (especially in the nineteenth and early twentieth century), and museum studies, in connection with libraries and museums (especially La Contemporaine, http://www.lacontemporaine.fr/ ) which holds large press, photography, and poster 20th century collections), but also Centre Pompidou, Musée du Quai Branly, the Louvre, Rouen Museums), as well as the labex Les passés dans le présent  and labex Arts H2H (http://www.labex-arts-h2h.fr/). Some of the existing fields of research deal with realism and impressionism in global context, as well as photography, the arts and crafts movement, education and transmission…\nProjects are developed about artists libraries, social photography, the history of documentary museums, caricature and laughter, posters, the dissemination of the arts and crafts movement around the world….\nResearch projects URL: http://lesbibliothequesdartistes.org/\nThe “Fondation partenariale de l’université Paris Nanterre” has been set to raise funds and to help develop links between Nanterre University and various partners, either private or public, in France or in other countries. It currently develops an alumni network, and prepares various ambitious research projects in art history with Nanterre university. Its culture and heritage chair will be proud to manage the Terra postdoctoral Research and Teaching Fellowship for American Art involving two French universities jointly.\nLARCA (Laboratoire de recherches sur les cultures anglophones), Paris Diderot\nLARCA is an interdisciplinary research unit of University Paris Diderot 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 painting, 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.\nThe LARCA’s Visual Cultures group is cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural (with main concentrations on the British and North American areas). It combines materialist, formalist and theoretical approaches of English language arts and visual cultures from the 17th to the 21st century. It brings together researchers and doctoral candidates working on histories of art and images, critical analyses of visual works, objects, and practices, and theoretical enterprises bearing on the iconic, and our objects of study range from history painting or photography to the study of moving images (film studies and TV series studies), as well as film adaptation.\nThe group’s focus on English-language cultures implies that researchers pay strong attention to the interactions between image, visual practices and their theorisation, the import of traditions and artistic references proper to English language contexts, the interaction of such traditions with contemporary creative trends, and the rich legacy and liveliness of a specific philosophical and theoretical tradition. Research topics also include comparative approaches (French/English domains, Europe/North America, West/East) and studies of the international migration of images.\n
