  The Balkans and the Mediterranean: shared subjects / comparative approaches

  Le séminaire « Les Balkans et la Méditerranée : objets communs / regards croisés » vise à interroger la position des Balkans dans les études méditerranéennes à partir d’une double question : en quoi les recherches actuelles sur les Balkans peuvent-elles éclairer d’autres situations méditerranéennes ? et en quoi les études méditerranéennes permettent-elles de renouveler le regard porté sur les Balkans ?

  Identities on the move: the Caucasus between the local, the regional and the global

  With a focus on Azerbaijan

  Most of the time, the countries of the South Caucasus are being scrutinized from Moscow, Istanbul, and Tehran, the capital cities of the former empires that ruled the region for centuries and struggled for control over these territories. And indeed, be it the Russian, and then the Soviet empires, or the Persian and Ottoman empires, the Caucasus has been, and still is, very much affected by the influence of regional powers in a wide range of areas. As far as identity issues in the Caucasus are concerned, they tend to be studied mainly through post-Soviet lenses due to the influence of the Soviet nationalities policy. Although this inheritance still appears relevant today, the conference aims to put the emphasis on the complex set of processes that shape identities in a broad meaning.
