  Semiotics in Algerian Academia

  State of the Art and Prospects

  Semiotics is a well-established discipline in European academia. However, it is a relatively new one in Algerian universities. Since the 1980s, semiotics has not ceased searching for its institutional place, especially in the fields of arts, languages, and communication sciences; and this has been undertaken within diverse areas of studies and diverse multilingual vistas. This scientific legacy that has been accumulated for nearly three decades deserves to undergo a retrospective synthesis and reappraisal. This will enable review the great articulations traced by semiotics in different research areas (literature, linguistics, communication, architecture, etc.). The upcoming colloquium will thus attempt to sketch an historical overview of semiotics in Algerian academia, from introductory courseson theory and methodology in undergraduate curricula, to more specialized and in-depth courses on the theoretical and epistemological foundations in graduate and postgraduate levels. It also intends to outline an overview of the somehow vivid scientific activity that has led to diverse and rich scientific production.

  “Arabic” Mathematics

  This monthly seminar will aim to invite researchers to come and present their work in progress or recently published that address the “Arab mathematics”, understood in a broad sense to be studied not only mathematics itself, but science “mathematized” of the era, such as astronomy, optics and static; Furthermore, we do not restrict themselves to only written in Arabic mathematics, but we can address their writings in other languages extensions, like Latin, Hebrew and Farsi.

  Scholars, Artists, Mediators: Approaches and Knowledge of the Maghreb (2010-2011)

  Depuis quelques années, ce séminaire s’attache à déterminer la façon dont s’est constitué à l’époque coloniale un corpus de savoirs sur le Maghreb à partir de perspectives multiples, professionnelles (médecins, militaires, interprètes) ou disciplinaires (études arabes, archéologie, ethnographie, géographie). Il s’interroge notamment sur les modes et les types de connaissance des sociétés musulmanes de l’Afrique du Nord à l’époque coloniale – langues, pratiques religieuses, usages profanes – en relation avec les projets de réforme de la société et le développement de nouvelles pratiques culturelles,
