  Bodily Cultivation & Cultural Learning

  8th International Symposium of CORPUS (International Group for the Cultural Study of the Body)

  Almost all cultures recognize as a means of achieving religious or spiritual goals, cultivating moral and emotional virtue, or transforming ideas into bodily practices. Some of the most common examples include fasting, meditation, vegetarianism, and qigong or taichi. Rather than focus on these obvious examples, conference attendees will examine culturally driven bodily practices such as proper ways to walk, sit, and gesture—all of which are often endowed with rich cultural meaning, information about cultural learning, and knowledge about the cultivation of values and merit. Bodily cultivation can also be analyzed as a channel for learning, manifesting, developing, or shaping cultural concepts and ideals.

  Law and property in Lebanon : Empirical investigations

  Longtemps ignorée par les sciences sociales non juridiques, la question du droit de propriété et de sa transmission au Liban, ainsi que celle, plus large, de l’accès à la propriété, méritent de faire l'objet d’une réflexion interdisciplinaire impliquant en particulier les approches sociologique et anthropologique. Privilégiant les méthodes empiriques, et notamment celles reposant sur l’observation directe et prolongée des interactions et des pratiques, cet appel à contributions s'ouvre cependant sur toute tentative de clarification (qu'elle soit théorique, ou qu'elle mobilise d'autres méthodes) des pratiques juridiques et judiciaires tournant autour de la propriété en contexte libanais. La journée d'étude qui en résultera permettra de réfléchir à ce qu'apporte l'étude des pratiques liées à la propriété en général, et à celle du foncier en particulier, à l'analyse du droit, de la norme et du politique au Liban.
