In order to study both the evolution and the contents of such relations, two main topics will be given a more particular interest: Cultural and Scientific Relations in connection with the change of mutual understanding from the 19th to the 21th century; Evolution of Economic relations from the 19th to the 21th century.

From the Caucasus to the Arabian Peninsula: studying domestic spaces in the Neolithic
Under neolithisation scholars understand multiple processes of social and economic transformation which begin at different times and follow regional trends in the Near and Middle East. It is within the complex relational and spatial framework of the household that these shifts in the structure and activities of Neolithic communities are easiest to apprehend and study. The conference will therefore focus on the domestic sphere in order to highlight and understand the polymorphous nature of what we call neolithisation. Various thematic sessions will be held to shed new light on current data: “Impacts of the shift to a sedentary/semi-sedentary lifestyle”; “Organising the house and the household”; “Private space/public space”; “Acquisition, production, transformation and use”; “Eating-Moving”; “Symbolic manifestations”;“The living and the dead”.

PhD fellowhip Labex Dynamite 2014-2015
The very quick recent development of archaeological and epigraphic work in Saudi Arabia brought deep changes in our knowledge of the Arabian Peninsula — which until the middle of the 2000's was only based on research on the periphery: Kuwait, Bahrayn, Qatar, The Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. That development reveals how wide the gaps are, of the interpretative frame in particular, for broad geo-historical segments. That is true especially for what is generally called Late Antiquity (4th- early 7th centuries AD), and here "Late Pre-Islamic" or even in local religious terms jâhîliyah, "ignorance" — a term which actually reflects correctly the state of knowledge. The amount of data collected within less than ten years within a large North-Western half of the Peninsula makes possible to see that except for the extreme North (current Joradanian border and Jawf Oasis) the Christianity does not penetrate and Byzantiums unifying power is absent. One is even unable to name what the field teams are dealing with. The proposed doctoral work must produce the state of that question, for which there if a rich evidence in stratigraphy, architecture, objects, and even epigraphy due to the recent demonstration of the Nabataean-Arabic continuum. The comparison with the Byzantine and christianized areas of the extreme North must be one of the leading strands but no way the only one, since the heart of the subject lyes, on the contrary, in the currently unnamed culture(s) of the Peninsula itself.

The Arab World in the Age of Revolutions : a Global Assessment
Conférence internationale du 24 au 27 juin 2012, coorganisée par le CEDEJ, Sciences Po Paris, et Kuwait Program. Un an et demi après leur déclenchement, les révolutions arabes présentent un bilan hasardeux : en Tunisie, en Égypte et en Libye, où les anciens dirigeants ont été chassés du pouvoir par le soulèvement populaire, le paysage politique reste incertain. Au Yémen une transition inaccomplie s'est mise en place, au Bahrein le soulèvement a été étouffé, et la Syrie s'enfonce dans une guerre civile où l'opposition démocratique est prise entre la sanglante répression du pouvoir et la montée en puissance des éléments jihadistes. -

11th International Conference on the History and Archaeology of Jordan
La 11ème conférence sur l'Histoire et l'Archéologie de la Jordanie s’inscrit dans une série de rencontres scientifiques initiée par Son Altesse Royale le Prince Hassan bin Talal de Jordanie en 1980. Elle reste, depuis cette date, placée sous son patronage, en associant occasionnellement le Palais Royal – en 1989, Sa Majesté Royale la Reine Nour avait inauguré en personne la conférence qui s’était tenue à Lyon, en France. La conférence se déroule dans des lieux différents tous les trois ans (Oxford au Royaume-Uni, Amman, Irbid et Pétra en Jordanie, Tübingen en Allemagne, Lyon en France, Turin en Italie, Copenhague au Danemark, Sydney en Australie et Washington aux Etats-Unis), en partenariat avec une institution universitaire de la ville d’accueil. La Conférence n’a jamais encore été accueillie à Paris. -

L’ivresse de la liberté : la révolution de 1908 dans l’Empire ottoman
1908 est le point fort du rapprochement entre la Turquie et l’Europe. Alors que réformisme et révolution, impérialisme et nationalisme, socialisme et libéralisme inspiraient mouvements et débats contradictoires en Europe, les intellectuels jeunes-turcs, inspirés par ces débats, ont mené une révolution qui a ébranlé tout l’Empire, le Moyen-Orient et même au delà. Pour la première fois, ces pays ont fait l’expérience de la liberté. On évoque même alors une « ivresse de la liberté ». Il s’agira ici de voir dans quelle mesure cette soudaine liberté de parole et d’expression et de déplacement a abouti à créer un « espace public ». Nous rendrons également compte des influences européennes sur les intellectuels Jeunes-Turcs et de l’impact de cette révolution, sur cette partie du monde musulman et ailleurs.
