    Tamil and Tamil Akam at the Crossroads

    The objective of the conference is to examine Tamil Nadu as an example of a geographical space where multiple cultures met, exchanged, and absorbed from outside, while Tamil maintained until recent times its unique ancient traditions. To bring together an international cadre of scholars who work in diverse disciplines that focus on a single region is to create new knowledge as is the way of any innovative conference. The fourteen scholars participating in the event bring a range of disciplinary perspectives to the idea of Tamil and Tamil Akam as a crossroads of cultures and a locus of international exchange in both the arts and sciences.

    Things and Spirits: new approaches to materiality and immateriality

    This conference is aimed at exploring new ways of approaching the tensional and intimate connections between ‘things’ and ‘spirits’ across distinct practices and epistemologies. In recent decades, the theme of materiality has gained wider currency and centrality in social sciences and anthropological theory. A growing number of scholars in the anthropology of religion, material culture studies, and history and sociology of science and technology have been reexamining the partition between humans, material objects, and immaterial entities, along with the ideas of agency, evidence, and materiality itself.

    Reverse-Exoticism: Writing Practices, Alternative Voices and Heritagization

    This is a call for papers for a Special Interest Panel inclued in the Tourism and Seductions of Difference Conference (Lisbon, Portugal, 10-12 Sept 2010) directed by Cyril Isnart (Cidehus-Universidade de Évora) and Ema Pires (Cria-Iscte and Univ. de Évora). While academics have studied ‘heritage’ mainly in terms of a national or elite construction, this panel is interested in the increasingly loud claims to ‘heritage’ emanating from minorities and small social groups. Evoking Michel De Certeau (1988), our emphasis here is on analysing ‘scriptural practices’, both as cultural apparatus and means of production and objectification of minorities’ alternative voices.

    From Observation to Text, from Text to Culture

    Two Paths of Semiotics?

    Dans ce colloque, nous entendons nous concentrer sur les outils d’analyse de la sémiotique et des disciplines sociales suivant deux directions complémentaires : (I) de l’observation au texte et (II) du texte à la culture. Dans le volet (I), nous entendons nous concentrer sur ce qui se passe durant la captation et l’inscription du sens en fonction de l’observation et l’interaction vécue, mais aussi à travers les notations, transcriptions et pré-analyses produites au cours de cette observation. Il s’agira de nous demander en quoi l’observation et la participation du chercheur peuvent contribuer à façonner les objets culturels. Dans le volet (II), la question que nous voudrions poser concerne le parcours qui conduit du texte à la culture. Ici, il ne s’agira pas forcément d’enregistrer sa propre expérience in vivo et de l’analyser en cours de construction du texte, mais de s’arrêter sur les moyens possédés par le chercheur pour prendre pour objet d’analyse un élément aussi large que la culture.

    Alternative self-representation? Ethnic minority media, between hegemony and resistance

    Ce colloque international s’intéresse aux personnes qui font l’expérience de la déterritorialisation / reterritorialisation et qui développent ou maintiennent des relations sociales à l’intérieur mais aussi au-delà des cadres stato-nationaux, par le biais des médias des minorités ethniques. L’un des objectifs est de comprendre le rôle croissant de la communication médiatique dans la définition des significations, des usages et des appropriations des espaces culturel, social et religieux. Quel rôle jouent les médias des minorités ethniques en imaginant et en mobilisant de nouvelles communautés d’appartenance, ou en les transformant dans le contexte de la mondialisation et de la diversité culturelle ?

The 10th SIEF International Congress intends to elucidate and develop perspectives on this topic by focusing on the making of places, and invites colleagues and other scholars to present new perspectives on how people's lives, memories, emotions and values interact with places and localities.

    National culture and globalization: articulations and interplay

    EGOS 2010 on globalization Sub-theme 14

    Dans le contexte de la mondialisation, nombre de pratiques d’outils de gestions et plus largement, d’idées, sont perçus comme globalisés. Dans cette perspective, il revient au « local » de s’approprier ces outils et pratiques avec la possibilité de les « glocaliser ». De fait le local apparait un peu comme un chainon manquant dans les relations entre le « global et le local ». Le thème 14 du colloque EGOS 2010 considère les interactions entre le global et le local en plaçant le local au centre de l’analyse. Nous sollicitons des communications portant sur des études contextualisées de situations permettant d’expliciter ces interrelations entre le local et le global. Les travaux ethnographiques sont particulièrement bienvenus.
