Mediating conflicts between groups with different worldviews
Approaches and methods
In recent decades, more and more violent conflicts have a religious or cultural dimension and take place between groups adhering to different religious or secular visions of the state and society. When groups with different worldviews are required to share the same (social, political, virtual, economic, or military) space, this can lead to tensions and give rise to violence—ranging from offensive language to physical attacks and open warfare.

The Great War seen from the “Periphery”: East Asia and Ibero-America
The International Workshop “The Great War seen from the ‘Periphery’: East Asia and Ibero-America” intends to encourage a comparative discussion on the impact of the war in East Asia and Ibero-America, and also about possible entanglements as well as communalities regarding a shift in perception of the ‘European Great Powers’ and a world order centered very much on them before 1914. It will gather researchers specialized in Japan, China and Ibero-america, who will focus on the ‘mediatization’ of the war in those regions.

Alternative Approaches to Urban Regeneration
Les organisateurs de cette journée d’étude s'intéressent aux initiatives visant à introduire des projets innovants dans les villes, en particulier les villes ayant subi des transformations radicales ces vingt dernières années. Nous nous intéressons à des situations où les approches traditionnelles sont influencées par des stratégies nouvelles initiées par des groupes de pression composés d’architectes/designers, de groupes d’habitants ou des gouvernements locaux (municipalités ou autre). Cette journée d’étude souhaite explorer la question du recours à l’expertise des habitants ou des spécialistes du terrain dans le domaine de la rénovation urbaine : cette expertise est-elle intégrée dans des projets ? Comment ? Peut-elle servir à répondre au phénomène accru de fragmentation urbaine ?

Conflict, conflict resolution, political change, representations
En 1982, un gouvernement dictatorial aux abois lance une opération militaire d’envergure pour occuper les Iles Malouines (Falkland) qui, depuis 1833, étaient en possession du Royaume-Uni. Ce conflit inédit dans l’Atlantique Sud (l’Argentine avait déclaré sa neutralité pendant la première et la deuxième guerres mondiales) durera plus de deux mois (du 2 avril au 14 juin) jusqu’à la capitulation des forces argentines devant une contre-offensive du Royaume-Uni qui a surpris tous ceux qui croyaient qu’il n’avait plus la capacité ni la volonté nécessaires pour mener à bien une telle intervention à presque 13 000 km de distance. -
