  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.

  Images, discourse and migrants in the Mediterranean

  Si les médias sont actuellement saturés par les discours liant crise des migrant·e·s et crise sanitaire causée par l’épidémie du covid-19, notre programme vise non seulement les représentations sur les migrants concernées par ces crises, mais tous types de migrations, pourvu qu’elles soient envisagées sous l’angle de l’interculturalité (migrations professionnelles, économiques, politiques), observables hier ou aujourd’hui, dans le bassin méditerranéen. La notion de migrant·e étant elle-même construite (socialement, politiquement, médiatiquement), comment les dispositifs culturels mobilisant des images fixes ou des supports audiovisuels médiatisent-ils une représentation des migrant·e·s ? Quelles valeurs et plus généralement quelles représentations des sociétés d’origine, de transit ou d’accueil véhiculent-ils ? En considérant la réception des images, comment les publics dans leur diversité appréhendent-ils ces dispositifs ?

  Design and emotion, physiology, neurocognition

  This first special edition, DNArchi 2021, aims at capturing analysis, experiments or tutorials focusing on designing through the measurement of emotions, physiology or neurocognition. New measurement techniques make it now possible to capture our emotions and monitor our cognitive and physiological activity. Applied to design, these tools open new perspectives to study digital design by measuring users’ perceptions of the built environment with the potential to enhance it or by measuring designers’ own design activity and processes.
