  Noms de dieux !

  Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents

  The ERC MAP Seminar “The Names of the Gods! 5: Who named the gods? Utterers, addressers, ritual agents” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine. This year, it focuses on the human agents in the process of naming the divine, whether they are producers of a discourse on the deities, addressers in a communication with the deities, or even experts in charge of a ritual knowledge. What agency do men and women exercise in the production of a specific denomination of the divine? How can we question their choices, their anchoring in a tradition or their innovation strategies?

  1956-1958: A revolutionary period that changed Africa (and the world)

  The objective of this panel is to compare the various social mobilizations that took place in Africa during the years 1956-1958 and which arguably constitute a historical watershed. The main aim of the panel is not the making of an abstract comparative analysis, but the analysis, based on the testimonial material collected, of how the memory of these events has been structured over time. Moreover, we are interested in understanding what the impacts of these social movements were on the structuring of states and what continuities can be found between the mobilizations of that period and the ary social mobilizations that have shaken the continent in the last ten years, from the ‘Arab Spring’ of 2011 onwards.

  Liv­ing un­der Em­pires: A View from Be­low

  What have Meso­pot­amian Em­pires ever done for their people? Track­ing the macro in the mi­cro

  In this workshop, we aim to take the view from below and investigate in what way imperial dynamics may have affected the lifeways of people in their territories. The basic questions of this workshop are: How did the empires of the Ancient Near East affect the lives of ordinary people in their realm?  To which extent was rural life and life in smaller towns permeated by imperial agents and policies, hence by imperial dynamics?

  The Syrian crisis and the Kurdish question (2011-2021)

  Cahier d'histoire immédiate special issue (2021)

  Les dix ans du conflit en Syrie sont l’occasion de faire un état des lieux des usages de la « question kurde » au Moyen-Orient. Ce numéro spécial sur la crise syrienne et la question kurde (2011-2021) du Cahier d'histoire immédiate souhaite avant tout interroger le concept même des « questions kurdes » en essayant de décrypter les différentes réalités sociales et politiques kurdes observables sur le terrain. Les coordinateurs encouragent des propositions d’article qui se libèrent du poids du politique et des différents nationalismes pour mieux observer les utilisations récentes de la « question kurde » dans le contexte syrien.

  Integrating the margins in the Middle Ages (5th-15th century)

  CIHAM doctoral study day

  Entre transition (périphéries, confins) et rupture (limites, écarts, frontières), les marges sont toujours relatives, pensées dans leur rapport avec une norme. Le modèle centre-périphérie a longtemps retardé leur étude, les cantonnant à une définition en négatif vis-à-vis d'un centre tout puissant, où elles étaient instituées comme le pôle perdant au sein d'un système dissymétrique. Poser la question de l'intégration des marges (territoriales, spatiales, mais aussi sociales), doit permettre de dépasser ce constat pessimiste et ce désintérêt – allègrement battu en brèche par les recherches des deux dernières décennies – pour les marges. En jouant sur toute la polysémie du terme, des marginalia des manuscrits aux marches territoriales, en passant par les individus et les groupes marginaux, ces journées d'études souhaitent susciter une réflexion transdisciplinaire, entre littérature, histoire et archéologie ; à la croisée des mondes médiévaux chrétiens et musulmans, conformément aux intérêts fondateurs du laboratoire du CIHAM – UMR 5648.
