  The Idea of South Asia

  South Asia, another name for the Indian Subcontinent, is a recent concept (only about six decades old), forged outside the region in the wake of the establishment of area studies by American universities. While it may be preferred to Indian subcontinent for its political neutrality, it is nonetheless a contested concept, both externally and internally. Whether in South Asia itself or in international institutions or research centres outside the region, there is no general consensus about the countries the concept encompasses: it primarily refers to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, the Maldives, as per the definition of the SAARC, which has however included Afghanistan lately (2005) among its members. Some would also include Burma (Myanmar) as it was a province of British India till 1937. Internally, the concept is contested on the political level but in a fairly paradoxical way: on the one hand, as a concept closely associated with India, it is in some contexts rejected by its neighbours; on the other hand, neighbouring countries (especially Nepal and Sri Lanka) have been instrumental in making the concept exist through the creation of journals, associations, and websites that mobilise the term.

  Extraterritoriality of languages, literatures and civilizations

  Assessments and prospects

  As a legal concept that appeared in the 19th century and originated in international law, extraterritoriality (or exterritoriality) initially established the principle according to which a person is not necessarily subject to the laws of the territory on which he or she is located. However, as George Steiner has shown (Extraterritorial, Papers on Literature and the Language Revolution, 1971), the concept can be enlarged and transposed within the cultural field. Applied to languages, literatures and civilizations, it suggests that, under the effects of the political upheavals of the 20th century and of contemporary globalization, the political territory has lost its old unifying and defining powers in cultural matters...

  Displaced Persons in Post-War Germany: A Cold War Issue

  Ce colloque entend rendre compte de l’état des lieux et des nouvelles perspectives ouvertes dans l’étude des personnes déplacées (DPs) en Allemagne au lendemain de la seconde guerre mondiale. Trois angles d’approche seront privilégiés pour aborder les différentes dimensions de la question des DPs. Tout d’abord, nous invitons à analyser cette population comme objet de négociations et de tensions internationales, à l’heure du basculement de la sortie de guerre vers la Guerre froide. Un autre angle d’approche consistera à cerner les répercussions des enjeux internationaux sur les DPs eux-mêmes. Enfin, la conférence se propose d’étudier l’incidence de la question des DPs sur les enjeux géopolitiques, politiques et sociaux découlant de l’impératif de reconstruction de l’Allemagne.

  Mediation, a new field of exploration for alternative modes of settling differences in the Mediterranean

  Mediterranean Union law, comparative law, international law and the European Union

  La médiation, l’arbitrage, sont des modes alternatifs de résolution des différends entre des individus, ou des entités institutionnelles. Ce sujet, qui est particulièrement porteur dans le domaine juridique a été très peu abordé sous l’angle du droit comparé, en envisageant des partenariats avec les chercheurs d’autres continents (Afrique et Amérique du nord). Ainsi, le présent colloque, résolument international, réunira les plus grands spécialistes de la médiation du bassin méditerranéen (Algérie, Maroc, Tunisie), des Français, des Italiens et des Canadiens, qui confronteront leurs modèles et chercheront à établir des concordances.
