Europe-Arab relations (19th-21st centuries)
On sait que la péninsule Arabique et l'Europe entretiennent depuis longtemps des relations durables, tant économiques que culturelles. Dans la poursuite des activités de la Chaire de dialogue des cultures sur l'histoire de ces relations depuis l'Antiquité et le Moyen Âge, ce colloque international s'intéressera plus spécifiquement aux liens entre l'Europe et la péninsule Arabique à l'époque contemporaine, depuis les débuts de la mondialisation de l'âge industriel jusqu'aux derniers développements économiques et stratégiques contemporains. Leur comparaison ainsi que l'étude du contenu et de l'évolution des échanges sont un moyen de mieux comprendre ce qui relie l'Europe et la péninsule Arabique.

Modernizers: Changing science and society in the Middle East and North Africa (1870s-1930s)
Re-constructing a local genealogy of the scientific modernization in North Africa and the Middle East is still a pending task. Research on modern Arab-Islamic scientists, physicians and engineers will help expand the collective memory of modernization in those countries by adding new, often badly-known or forgotten actors to its ranks. Biographies will also help illuminate the intrinsic connection existing between science and society, showing how science has always been a necessary element in plans for national independence, social change and democratic rule. This conference will focus on the biographies of some late 19th-early 20th century scientists from Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria

Typography and graphism of Arabic writing: issues and perspectives
Cet après-midi d’étude a pour objectif de discuter des enjeux actuels de la typographie de la lettre arabe, à une échelle internationale et à la lumière des expériences passées. Témoins, historiens, artistes, praticiens et enseignants y dialogueront autour des projets de réforme de l’écriture et de renouvellement de la typographie arabe, hier et aujourd’hui, ainsi que des propositions esthétiques qui leur sont liées. On y analysera les résistances aux propositions nouvelles mais aussi les appuis qu’elles trouvent, et les raisons de l’intérêt que la lettre arabe suscite actuellement auprès des graphistes, qu’ils travaillent sur des textes en langue arabe ou non.

Des soulèvements au califat improvisé
Les États arabes en question
À travers une approche interdisciplinaire – mobilisant l’histoire, la géographie, le droit, la science politique et la sociologie –, il s’agira aussi bien de questionner la notion d’État que d’analyser les différents cas de figure, aussi bien au Maghreb qu’au Machrek. Si l’État n’a pas le monopole de l’organisation de la vie en société, sa disparition laisse souvent place à un chaos qui menace les régions voisines. De ce point de vue, la question dépasse le cadre initial que constitue le monde arabe.

Transnationalizing the Arabian Peninsula: local, regional and global dynamics
Arabian Humanities No 7
The seventh issue of Arabian Humanities explores regionalisation and globalisation processes in the Arabian Peninsula from a transnational perspective: it focuses on practices, institutions, networks and spaces as powerful factors that structure the sub-region’s social, cultural, economic and political dynamics and evolution.

Experts and expertise in the mandates and of the society of nations
Figures, fields and tools
Our vantage point is to consider the growing in importance of expertise during the twentieth century within the management of the colonial world and hence to study the emergence of the international sphere as a level of decision making. The purpose of this conference is to investigate the influence of early international agendas, advanced across the colonial world by experts operating in the orbit of international organizations. The investigation should also focus on the procedures and framework of international recognition of expertise at the intersection of the colonial and the international spheres. A first line of enquiry tackles the relations between the epistemologies that underpinned scientific knowledge in the colony and the metropolis. Another one looks into the sites of production of Mandatory expertise. Finally, we want to investigate the explicitly evolutionary conceptual framework for the mandates and its influence on the work of experts. We invite contributions dealing with the figure of the expert, whether official or not, and the various fields and tools of Mandatory expertise. Part and parcel of our reflexion is also a study of the limits and scope of expertise.
