  Image(s) of India

  What do we picture when we evoke India? For its 20 th annual Workshop, The “Association des jeunes études indiennes” (AJEI) invites young researchers to share their knowledge and to propose a critical approach of the concept of ‘Images’ in the subcontinent: To what extent do images reflect the many realities and representations of India and how does the Indian imagery affect scholarly, artistic and touristic as well as political perceptions, from a western and an Indian point of view? The Workshop is aimed to develop a cross-disciplinary dialogue in social sciences for a better understanding of the multiple roles that Images have been playing from antiquity to nowadays in the perceptions and the foundations of culture and identities in Indian society. The aim is also to open some reflexive discussions on the use and construction of images.

  Study days - History

  What about History then? Assessment of the role of history in Indian Studies

  L’objectif de cette journée d’études est de reprendre la réflexion autour de la place de l’histoire dans les études indiennes et de ses relations avec les autres disciplines au sein d’un laboratoire d’aires culturelles tel que le CEIAS. C’est là une question qui a déjà occupé plusieurs historiens du Centre par le passé mais qui est loin d’être épuisée et reste d’actualité au vu de la place marginale que l’histoire continue d’occuper au sein des études indiennes en France et, parallèlement, de la faible visibilité de l’Inde dans la recherche et l’enseignement de l’histoire. Il s’agira de dresser un bilan des pistes explorées par les historiens actifs au CEIAS depuis sa fondation et du dialogue noué tant avec d’autres spécialistes de l’Inde qu’avec des historiens travaillant sur d’autres « terrains », mais aussi de réfléchir ensemble sur les perspectives ouvertes par l’évolution actuelle de la discipline historique en France qui semble enfin sortir de son traditionnel européocentrisme.
