Viral Memes : Research and Reflections on the Coronapocalypse

The University of Toulouse and the University of Montpellier (France) will be hosting a conference on the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks from 7-8 October 2021 in Toulouse.

Our aim is to analyze both these events and their short-term consequences with a two-decade hindsight and the many ways in which the attacks have been perceived, represented, editorialized, co-opted or rewritten along the years. The scope of the conference is interdisciplinary and proposals may include, without being limited to, the following topics:
