  Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile

  PhD position in Asian Studies

  This Ph.D. position is funded by a MIS (Mandat d’Impulsion Scientifique/ Incentive Grant for Scientific Research) project: “Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile”. Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking people based at the border of Central Asia and the north-western part of China. Massive internments and arrests of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs have taken place in the region since 2016, including the Uyghur elite. In these conditions, centers of the cultural production of the Uyghurs have shifted from their native land to the diaspora spread across the world. This project looks at Uyghur diasporic cultural production that aims at drawing the world’s attention and bearing witness to the various abuses perpetrated at home by the Chinese government. The whole project analyses selected poems, short films, video clips, and dance and music performances to tackle new transmedial forms of testimonies in the Uyghur case.

  The Social Museum (musée de société) Today, Legacy and Evolution

  Since the end of the 1980s, many ethnographic museums around the world have evolved in line with political issues and current social and cultural preoccupations. Some of these changes have taken place within the framework of the creation of new national museums, especially where multicultural policies are at work. While these institutions’ missions are vastly different, they are frequently regrouped under the umbrella term “social museums”. These museums are dedicated to the representation of societies, both past and present, from varying viewpoints while at the same time demanding a social and civic role through their grappling with contemporary issues of identity, culture, society and environment. This issue of Culture & Musées aims to reformulate this concept in order to better understand its meaning, its uses, but also its most recent evolution within the context of 21^st-century museums.

  Seminar - Science studies

  Research archives

  Le programme interlaboratoire de la Maison méditerranéenne des sciences de l’homme (MMSH) « Archives de la recherche » 2020-2021 s’intéresse à l’articulation entre archives et données de la recherche en s’attachant concrètement aux problématiques nouvelles révélées par la multiplication de créations de services d’archives au sein des établissements d’enseignement supérieur et de recherche. Le séminaire se donne ainsi pour objet de réfléchir aux questions de conservation, d’exploitation scientifique, de mutualisation de collection et de valorisation des fonds d’archives de la recherche déposées au sein des unités de recherche et de la médiathèque de la MMSH. Il abordera également, sans les opposer et de façon réflexive, les pratiques actuelles, de la « culture de l’archive » et de la « culture de la donnée ».
