Originating in 2009, H-France Salon is a multimedia journal of French Studies in its broadest sense, encompassing history, literature, cinema, art history, theory, and culture. Salons have included debates and collective reassessments of critical, methodological, and professional issues in our fields, tributes to influential individuals, recordings of conference presentations, webinars, and innovative blog projects. We welcome proposals that build on these initiatives or take us in new directions. Please contact us with ideas. (gcakmak@umass.edu)

Webinar: Keywords for Ecocriticism in Francophone Visual Culture of the Nineteenth Century (4 October 2024)
This H-France Salon webinar features five art historians who apply the critical tools of ecocriticism in their study of Francophone visual culture from the long nineteenth century. Each scholar presents a short talk focusing on a key concept—Animals (Katie Hornstein, Dartmouth), Scale (Kelly Presutti, Cornell), Extraction (Stephanie O’Rourke, St. Andrews), Plantation (C.C. McKee, Bryn Mawr), and Salvage (Maura Coughlin, Northeastern). Together, they explore how ecocritical perspectives reshape the field of art history, and demonstrate the broader contributions of this approach to Francophone studies.
A collection of similar papers, discussions, etc. published on H-France as “Occasional Papers” are available here.
