  Call for papers - Urban studies

  Contemporary Amman and the Right to the City

  A city of four million inhabitants today, Amman’s expansion has become disproportionate to its urban history. Amman has experienced an impressive urban growth over the past fifty years, driven by forced migration and market laws. Developing from a small rural settlement at the end of the 19^th century, Amman evolved into a regional crossroad at the end of the 20^th century, and has become today a symbol for the consolidation of Hashemite rule, and as a result, the site of its contestation. Amman’s exceptional position among other regional capitals and its recent urban history has forced its inhabitants to create narratives concerning the city’s foundation, invent urban traditions, and negotiate ways of socialization.

  The development of cinephilia and the promotion of French and local cinemas

  The contribution of the French Institutes and the Alliances françaises

  The role of movie theatres in the development of cinephilia is a field which has been the subject of a number of researches . Among these venues, a specific section consisting of those of the network of French cultural institutions abroad has not been analysed. Yet they have encouraged and still make a significant contribution to the dissemination and the promotion of cinema. The French cultural action outside France in general has been widely studied, cinema-related action, however, has been neglected. The aim of this colloquium is to remedy this lack and to highlight this contribution to the development of the cinephilia and to the promotion of French and local cinemas, including the encouragement of young creation and the emergence of new talents.

  Female elites in the Francophone space

  Ce colloque, tout comme les actes qui suivront, visent à rendre compte des mécanismes complexes qui régissent les processus de stratifications sociales, en articulant trois dimensions analytiques qui relèvent à la fois de la Francophonie, du genre et du fait élitaire. L’enjeu est de rendre visible de la manière la plus empirique possible, les différentes manifestations de ce fait social dans des espaces sociaux (associatif, religieux, politique, économique, littéraire, etc.) où les femmes évoluent. Il est alors question de mettre en exergue les points de convergences, les variations et reconfigurations socio-historiques et politiques, ainsi que les lignes de fracture éventuelles dans l’espace francophone. En abordant la problématique de l’élite sous le double angle du genre et des enjeux géopolitiques et culturels francophones, notre démarche se situe au croisement de plusieurs champs disciplinaires des sciences humaines et sociales (sociologie, psychologie sociale, histoire, gestion-économie, science politique, droit, art et lettres, etc.).

  Image(s) of India

  What do we picture when we evoke India? For its 20 th annual Workshop, The “Association des jeunes études indiennes” (AJEI) invites young researchers to share their knowledge and to propose a critical approach of the concept of ‘Images’ in the subcontinent: To what extent do images reflect the many realities and representations of India and how does the Indian imagery affect scholarly, artistic and touristic as well as political perceptions, from a western and an Indian point of view? The Workshop is aimed to develop a cross-disciplinary dialogue in social sciences for a better understanding of the multiple roles that Images have been playing from antiquity to nowadays in the perceptions and the foundations of culture and identities in Indian society. The aim is also to open some reflexive discussions on the use and construction of images.
