Conference, symposium - Epistemology and methodology
Area Studies / Cultural Areas 2014
12th International Conference of the Institut des Amériques
The scientific visions of the contemporary world – from the early 2000s — are in turmoil, because of the collapse of the geo-political, economic and cultural balances that had organized the post-war period (1945-1990) at the global level, along the notion of cultural areas as defined by Fernand Braudel. In France, the recent creation of GIS (Groupements d’Intérêt Scientifiques, or clusters of scientific interest) in geo-cultural areas (Asia, Africa, the Muslim World, Americas) appears as a major attempt toward a redeployment and restructuring of research areas. To bring answers to these central issues, this Conference can be the occasion for an international scientific reflection on three levels: the genesis of cultural area studies; the scientific institutions in the field of cultural areas; the challenges and opportunities for area studies.

By the book. The book and the study of its digital transformation
This two-day conference brings together scholars from the field of publishing studies to examine key issues around the digital transformation of the book, as well as to discuss the developing field of publishing studies. Analysed will be a key set of questions. How is the landscape of the book in Europe changing due to digital transformation? How will terrestrial bookshops survive the growth of ebooks? Are there international forces for change which will affect all markets, and what domestic factors will prevail? What is the connection between the spread of English as the global lingua franca and the growth of digital publishing?

Tourist mobility patterns, heritage and globalisation
Postdoctoral fellowship Labex Dynamite 2014
The 1980s saw the advent of a new phase of globalisation, a new phase of capitalism, a new era of heritage and a new era of tourism. While these evolutions have been clearly identified, they are often approached separately. If the changes relating to heritage can be explained by a crisis in our relationships with time, or even by a new "presentist" view of history, the new mobility patterns of tourism relate a new relationship with space that is typical of contemporary globalisation. The research project in which the post-doc candidate will be involved sets out to consider these dynamics of globalisation, heritage and tourism conjointly.

1st International Symposium: Hope, Betrayal and Trust
Part of the Research Program on: Lost Virtues, Found Vices
This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the complex and fluid relationships between hope and trust, and how might betrayal play a productive role in this bond. As concepts, ideas or simple notions, hope and trust seem to have simultaneously lost contemporary currency while being ever more necessary in our every day lives. We seem resigned to a kind of hopelessness, seem unwilling to trust others and are ready and willing to betray whomever we might need to in order to advance our own careers or personal agendas. Yet new technologies require us to place personal information online, to communicate with strangers, and to hold onto the promise of happiness. How are our maintenance of hope, our need to trust and our willingness to betray intertwined? How are these concepts evolving?

Part of the Research Program on: Space, Time and New Technologies of the Self
International Network for Alternative Academia – invites you to participate to the First International Symposium: Speed, Silence and Solitude.

Asking questions / challenging modernism / modernity
Seminar followed by study day

Septième journée jeunes chercheurs
La culture est ici entendue dans son sens large qui englobe le champ des pratiques culturelles, comme celui du patrimoine et des identités. Les communications pourront ainsi s’intéresser à la culture et aux cultures sur des territoires identifiés (en mettant en valeur tant les aspects théoriques que l’approche empirique du sujet) et porter sur plusieurs dimensions : les processus de construction et d’entretien de sentiments identitaires et communautaires (grâce au partage d’un territoire, d’une langue, d’une religion, d’une tradition, etc.), la culture des espaces (qui comprendrait des réflexions sur l’aménagement des territoires, l’habitat, l’urbanisme, l’architecture), la culture dans le champ artistique (qui regrouperait des communications liées à toutes les formes artistiques et toutes disciplines se rapportant à l’art : histoire de l’art, esthétique, médiation culturelle, etc.) et enfin, la culture numérique (qui contiendrait des travaux portant sur la toile : les réseaux sociaux, les jeux vidéo en ligne, les blogs, etc.).
