  Cities in the Arab world

  Depuis le début du XX^e siècle, les villes arabes ont fait face à de profonds changements : une urbanisation fulgurante depuis les années 1970, accompagnée de bouleversements socio-économiques et politiques majeurs. Lieux de pouvoir, de « maximisation des interactions sociales » (P. Claval) et de rencontre avec la modernité, les villes sont en même temps lieux d’exclusion sociale, de domination et de repli identitaire du fait de processus d’urbanisation souvent rapides et incomplets. Penser les villes arabes comme lieux de transformations sociétales et politiques constitue l’objectif de la journée d’étude organisée par le Centre arabe de recherches et d’études politiques (CAREP) de Paris.

  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.

  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.
