Multi.Pluri.Trans. Emerging Fields in Educational Ethnography
The conference picks up recent tendencies in ethnographic research that respond to the diversifying social conditions of educational practice by addressing issues such as the translocality and pluricentricity, the multilingual, intercultural as well as multimodal nature of educational realities and the complex relations between local practices and national / global transformations and policies in the fields of education and social work. In different formats of contributions we will present and discuss theoretical and methodological conceptualizations, empirical research findings, as well as questions of research practice and methods. -

Victorian persistence: text, image, theory
Programme 2012-2013
The present-day globalization of Victorian writing can be traced back to the extraordinary plasticity of its textual and visual forms, as it travels from place to place and media to media. Such temporal, geographical, cultural and intermedial persistence is to be the subject of a seminar which will consider the different modes of resistance of literature within the nineteenth-century as well as its survival and rebirth in later times. -

Seminar Machines and Imagination, 2012-2013
Throughout the nineteenth century the astonishing technical success of electricity had a great impact on the contemporary imagination. The Volta’s battery which impressed Napoleon, the telegraph system that linked Europe and United States and later the electric light and the x-rays fascinated not only physicists but also artists, men of letters and eclectic intellectuals. The lightning that gives life to the doctor Frankenstein’s creature in the Mary Shelley novel is the most known case. But also the photographs representing Duchenne de Boulogne’s studies of human facial expressions produced via electrical stimulation and the ‘futuristic’ arc lamp painted by Giacomo Balla are emblematic examples of reactions and interactions between technical development and artistic creativity. The aim of the seminar is to explore how, in a period that was later defined the age of electricity, both science and arts contribute to the representation of electrical technologies. -

Southeast Asian Cities’ Expressions of Modernity in Their Relation to Local Heritages
EuroSEAS Conference, Group 6: Popular culture, museums and heritage
The panel will explore spatial configurations created in these contexts, questioning the forms of modernity expressed by architectural and urban projects. With the purpose of challenging a general assumption according to which Asian and especially Southeast Asian urban landscapes affected by recent developments tend toward irremediable standardization and “Westernization”, the panel will explore local expressions of modernity through the examination of projects pointing to a reinterpretation of forms of local heritages. -

The Face of the Dead and the Early Christian World
The theme chosen for this meeting is the study of funerary images in the transition between late antiquity and the Middle Ages. The central question will a reflection on the function of the funerary images in a broad sense, but also their impact on the early christian world. The choice of the chronological time also shows the second intention of the colloquium: this is an attempt to explain why the ancient funerary tradition of the image will eventually disappear, replaced by other figures of the representative functions. Through various media - from the mosaic and painting, through sculpture and ending with gilded glasses - there will be presented one of the nodal representation of the self: the human face on the border between life and death. -

The Architecture of Southeast Asian Cities
How do Architectural and Urban Expressions of Modernity relate to Heritage ?
The conference is organised by the Contemporary Asian Architecture and Cities: Heritage and Projects research group, based in Paris. The conference will take place June 12-14 2013 at the National Superior Architecture School of Paris-Belleville (ENSAPB). The conference will deal with recent physical transformations and developments of Southeast Asian cities. Contemporary debates in urban studies often centre around the idea of a uniform kind of globalizing urbanization which is spreading worldwide. The conference will examine this idea as a hypothesis in light of the history of each city, the persistence of ancient urban morphologies, and heritage policies promoted by various Southeast Asian nations. -

Dealer, collector, critic, publisher…: The « animateur d’art » and his multiples roles
Pluridisciplinary research of these disregarded cultural mediators of the 19th and 20th centuries
The first goal of our symposium is to enlighten the role of the animateur d’art in the development of the arts. We hope that this scientific gathering would help us specify this first formula of the cultural actor: “The animateur d’art is an amateur who actively participates in the defense of the arts and in the stimulation of the artistic creation in a certain period. He puts his numerous networks to work in order to spread ideologies and aesthetics through the cultural environment and the society. He is a key figure positioning himself as a mediator between the different art worlds – the plastic arts as well as between the different agents of the cultural environment. His work consists in building bridges between the artists and his own cultural environment in order to ease the reception of the works and to promote a peculiar aesthetics”. -

“This Is the Modern World”. For a social history of rock music
Si l’histoire du rock passe par l’histoire des courants musicaux, elle ne se limite pas à cela. Le rock est un phénomène socio-musical complexe, qui mérite d’être étudié non seulement pour lui-même, mais comme un révélateur de mutations sociales et culturelles essentielles à la compréhension des sociétés depuis la seconde moitié du XXe siècle. C’est dans cet objectif qu’est organisé ce colloque, qui entend rendre compte de la richesse du champ, dans une perspective internationale et interdisciplinaire. -

Reassessing Anglo-Saxonism and Anglobalisation
Les relations anglo-américaines sont abordées le plus souvent dans le cadre de l’histoire des relations internationales et de la diplomatie. Nous proposons de les étudier plutôt à travers l’histoire de projets internationaux, qu’ils relèvent du commerce et des affaires ou qu’ils poursuivent des objectifs politiques ou réformateurs au sens large. -

Appropriation and transmission of world languages and cultures
Beyond linguistic competence in a globalised world: action, interaction and intercultural mediation
Au croisement du linguistique et de l’éducatif, du social et du politique, le Séminaire doctoral international réunit chaque année des enseignants-chercheurs et de jeunes chercheurs concernés par l’appropriation et la transmission des langues et des cultures. Conçu comme un outil de formation à la recherche, à l’initiative du monde académique, au bénéfice des professionnels impliqués dans la diffusion et l’enseignement des langues, fondé sur l’échange scientifique entre jeunes chercheurs, universitaires et experts confirmés, en présentiel, par un dispositif de visio-conférence ou par une plate-forme d’échange, le Séminaire propose d’engager la réflexion scientifique internationalisée par un programme incitatif comportant des conférences plénières de chercheurs de premier plan issus de champs disciplinaires complémentaires et des ateliers consacrés à la présentation par les jeunes chercheurs de leurs travaux. Les langues de travail sont le français et l’anglais.

Border spaces: areas of contact/areas of conflict?
Les journées d’études « frontières » organisées à l’Université de Liège se proposent d’établir un bilan annuel de la recherche sur la notion de frontière et de limite dans une perspective diachronique et pluridisciplinaire. Les jeunes chercheurs à l’initiative de ce projet se proposent en 2013 d’accorder leur attention aux hommes et aux femmes qui ont vécu ou vivent aux confins d’un territoire, à ceux qui ont gardé, transgressé, passé les limites quelles qu’elles soient, à la manière dont ils ont perçu et/ou subi l’évolution des tracés ou encore à la manière dont on leur a présenté ces changements. La définition et la perception de la frontière envisagée tantôt comme une zone de rencontres, tantôt comme une zone de confrontation seront donc au cœur de la réflexion qui sera menée durant deux jours. L’invitation est lancée à tous les chercheurs en sciences humaines intéressés par la problématique et désireux d’établir un dialogue interdisciplinaire fécond. -

Autrefois société pré-industrielle dans laquelle la distinction entre culture d'élite dominante et culture populaire subalterne survécut plus longtemps que dans d'autres nations européennes, l'Irlande a néanmoins toujours été caractérisée par l'hybridité. La lutte politique pour l'indépendance s'accompagna de la sacralisation d'un certain genre de « culture populaire », entendue au sens de la culture du peuple d'origine, qui fut par la suite promue au statut de culture dominante. Aujourd'hui, la mondialisation de l'économie et de la culture irlandaises ont transformé cette dernière en une marque publicitaire connue internationalement, détournée et exploitée par les industries culturelles du néo-capitalisme libéral. On peut se demander ce qui rend la culture irlandaise si attirante aux yeux du monde entier : est-ce sa réputation de soit-disant authenticité ? Son enracinement supposé dans un contexte local ? Ou encore le romantisme attaché à un passé de souffrance et de lutte ? -

The Work of Art, Particular and Universal
At the same time symbols of a specific cultural identity and bearers of a message of universal level, the art pieces and their interpretations carry a semiotic tension. The matter of this symposium is to explore the dialectic between identity and universality from the historical point of view and through three different thematic. -
