  The history of writing

  Statutes of writing and form

  Ce séminaire, animé par des étudiants de Master, des doctorants et des enseignants de l’université d’Aix-Marseille / IREMAM, se propose de renouveler certaines approches en rapport avec l’histoire des écritures au Proche-Orient comme au Maghreb, à diverses périodes. Le séminaire sera l’occasion de s’interroger sur les statuts de l’écrit et de l’écriture dans les civilisations arabo-musulmane, persane, ottomane, berbère et hébraïque à la lumière de nouveaux documents ou matériaux.

  Administrative and Legal Documentation in Pre-colonial Africa and Beyond

  Fifth European Conference on African Studies (ECAS 5)

  Historians, anthropologists as well as specialists of various scholarly traditions are invited to reflect on the question of production, transmission and preservation of administrative and legal documentation in pre-colonial Africa. The aim of this panel is to foster dialogue between scholars working on non-narrative sources, whether land charters, weddings contracts, deeds, funerary inscriptions or other archival materials. Presentations of methodological issues rather than case-studies would facilitate a comparative approach leading to a renewed understanding of the social organizations that produced these documents.
