  China in Algeria

  Global economy and local development

  To what extent the numerous very big Chinese enterprises (especially public capital, more or less controlled by the Chinese government) or smaller ones (privately owned, operated by a diaspora of petty entrepreneurs) today in Algeria in the construction, commerce, industry, services sectors, fosters a new growth dynamic based on a joint local / global economy? This conference should be an opportunity to deepen the debate by examining in particular the effects of the Chinese presence on local development. The papers should describe experiences related to the Chinese presence in Algeria focusing on its effects on the territories, and analyze them in comparison to other experiences in Algeria, Africa and the world. Emphasis will be placed on both the empirical and theoretical aspects. Different approaches (economics, sociology, anthropology, law, geography, political science, demography) could be used to study the environmental issue, to capture the relationship between business and territories and to implement tools and methods associated with these theoretical frameworks in order to achieve a socio-economic diagnosis of territories.

  The Hallyu or Korean wave: a partial assessment, 15th years after

  Groupe de recherches identités et cultures (GRIC) study days

  Quinze ans après le début de l'engouement régional et international pour la vague coréenne, cette journée d'études se propose de tirer un bilan interdisciplinaire de ce phénomène. En effet, le Hallyu est aujourd'hui en passe de parvenir à engendrer une sorte d'unité de l'Asie, marquant ainsi un tournant décisif dans l'après-guerre froide quant à la dynamique postcoloniale et interrégionale des rapports Est-Ouest et Nord-Sud. Seront mobilisées les approches anthropologique, littéraire, lingustique, civilisationniste, philosophique, sociologique, économique, historique et politique.
