  Central Africa: ressources and armed conflicts

  Cahiers d’Outre-Mer journal

  This issue of Cahiers d’Outre-Mer will explore the mutual impacts of resources and armed conflicts in CAR from a political point of view.  Neither the resources nor their greater or lesser availability constitute, by itself, a sufficient condition to explain the outbreak or continuation of conflicts. Resources, because they impact the balance of powers, are an aspect of armed conflicts, which can be defined as antagonisms between social groups using weapons to prevail over each other. This issue aims at identifying mutual impacts of conflicts and resources in CAR with three possible lines of inquiry: Resources and trajectories of political organizations ; Uses of resources and conflict ; Reconfigurations of resources within conflicts.

  Madrid, traces and traced (1950-2000)

  La ville, lieu « où se trame l'existence humaine » comme le formule Lewis Mumford offre un carde de réflexion applicable aux villes modernes. Le choix de Madrid est un choix comme un autre, nul besoin de l'expliquer sinon que rien ne disposait cette bourgade médiévale à devenir capitale, encore moins métropole. Les approches seront croisées, sociologiques, urbanistiques, littéraires, linguistiques et historiques.

  The making of cultural policies

  Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization

  This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.
