Perspectives from India and Russia
Projeté à l’occasion de la réunion des sections des langues orientales et slaves de l’université de Lausanne, ce colloque vise à explorer la notion des « marges » de l’orientalisme dénoncé par Edward Saïd en plaçant au centre des réflexions quelques cas de figures qui sont demeurés hors de la critique post-coloniale. Mettant en parallèle le cas anglo-indien, souvent présenté comme emblématique de l’« orientalisme classique », et le cas russo-soviétique, à la fois objet de l’orientalisme européen (et pour cette raison stigmatisé comme « euro-asiatique ») et producteur d’un discours « orientaliste », cette rencontre vise à décentrer le regard des espaces impériaux franco-britanniques pour le rediriger vers des comparaisons moins traditionnelles, tant à l’égard des histoires respectives des études orientalisantes, que par rapport aux mécanismes de l’orientalisation et des exotisations.

Women in Educated Elites of Pre-Socialist and Early Socialist East Central European Societies
The opening up to modernity of East Central Europe since the late 19th century was marked – among other things – by a triple process generating structural transformations of established post-feudal societies and affecting often radically the status of women. Due to post-feudal conditions of competition for social standing, positions of influence and prestige, hitherto unknown forms of inequalities appeared in the very process of accumulation of political, economic, professional, cultural an educational assets henceforth necessary for the access to the elites. Female professionals, though they could rarely achieve advanced careers in the ruling elites in the old regime, so much so that they often encountered even various forms of public rejection and discrimination on intellectual markets, significantly participated in the framing of the way of life of the new middle class. This workshop will adopt a gender-focused perspective cocentrating on the place of women (training, education, professions) and bringing to light the differences and inequalities existing between male and female members of educated elites.
