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.

Cosmopolitanism and plural societies
À cause des grands processus transnationaux qui façonnent les sociétés, les individus font la rencontre au quotidien et en permanence avec l’altérité. Loin d’être exceptionnelle, la différence est un élément central de nos sociétés de plus en plus « multiculturelles » et « plurielles ». il est ainsi crucial qu’une approche cosmopolite se fonde sur la façon dont l’altérité et la pluralité sont gérées par les individus, les groupes humains et les institutions.

Symbol and Design in Contemporary Churches
The Third International Seminar intends to be an appointment of critical reflection on the difficulties that symbol has gone through in the twentieth-century liturgical architecture. After years of lack of interest for all related subjects, during the last decades architecture is devoting increasing attention to symbol, this way highlighting the ongoing corresponding anthropological transformation. However, this kind of research also requires mature awareness both of the reasons why it has become necessary nowadays and of the inter-disciplinary developments it has generated during the twentieth century. In the Catholic background there are two unavoidable reference points: Romano Guardini and the dogmatic pronouncements of the Second Vatican Council that acknowledged the importance of symbols.

La question berbère depuis 1962
Amnésie, renaissance, soulèvements
Ce colloque international se situe au croisement des réflexions aiguisées par les derniers rebondissements de la question berbère (ou amazighe) dans le Nord-Ouest de l'Afrique et dans l'espace méditerranéen : face aux soulèvements populaires de 2011 notamment, aux manifestations, aux revendications et aux acquis du mouvement amazighe, nul n’ignore plus la force d’un mouvement porté par 20 à 30 millions de Berbérophones. Les repères identitaires et culturels de la population sont un objet essentiel de la reconfiguration en cours ou à venir du Maghreb au Sahel. Le colloque cherchera à aborder sous tous ses angles possibles la question berbère, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire.

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.
