    Call for papers - History

    The countryside and rural archaeology in the Maghreb and in the Mediterranean

    Le thème de ce 6e colloque permettra de s’interroger sur les méthodes, les approches, les sources et les matériaux mis à contribution pour écrire l'histoire et aborder l’archéologie des peuplements dans les campagnes maghrébines et méditerranéennes de la Préhistoire jusqu’au début du vingtième siècle. Cette rencontre ne prétend pas présenter un bilan exhaustif des recherches sur cette thématique pour l’ensemble du Maghreb et de la Méditerranée, mais cherche plutôt à présenter l’état de la question, et fait appel à une réflexion épistémologique et méthodologique ainsi qu’à un regard critique sur les approches et les techniques appliquées dans l’étude des espaces ruraux.

    Rethinking Academic Paradigms

    Human knowledge ranges from pure science to pure myth. In between lies a broad gamut of conceptually different cognitive experiences and patterns of perception which represent the world in visions and theories. The authority to produce and authenticate/validate knowledge, that which allows for theoretically informed descriptions and explanations of the nature of any given social, cultural or linguistic phenomenon, however, has for years been a contested privilege among academics and field practitioners from myriad disciplines. Over-specialization, a by-product of the proliferation of fields of expertise in academia, presented itself for most of the second half of the twentieth century as a legitimate substitute for holistic knowing and thinking. This reductionist, atomistic doctrine yielded countless fields of study which acted as self-sufficient repositories of knowledge, outmoding Western philosophical, anthropological, linguistic and sociological traditions.
