Reading and analysing Ottoman manuscript sources

During the four-day programme we will introduce young researchers (mostly MA and PhD candidates, but postdocs may also apply) to reading, combining and analysing manuscript sources from various archives of the Ottoman era, produced at local, provincial and imperial levels. We concentrate mainly on materials from the 16^th and 20^th centuries, but welcome also explorations into earlier archives.

The Middle East and Europe: cross-cultural, diplomatic and economic exchanges in the early modern period (1500-1820)

This conference is an international symposium that proposes to study the entire range of exchanges and relations established between these two areas during the Early Modern Times (1500-1820). Its main objective is to think about diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural links between Europe and the Middle East by calling upon over twenty researchers with specializations in the Arab, Persian and Muslim world. In addition, this conference will provide a comprehensive overview to date of the Arabian Gulf at a time of major political change, including the successive arrival of the European “trading empires”. It will focus on some of the methodological challenges raised by a global, connected and cross-cultural thinking approach to the History of the Middle East and Europe”.

The evolving relations between nation-states and Kurdish areas

What impact on the modes of local governance?

Metropolitan energy policies: the case of the Turkish cities

Call for paper for a Seminar at the French Institute of Anatolian Studies (IFEA), co-organized by Eric Verdeil (Jean Moulin University in Lyon - UMR Environment City Corporation) and Jean-François Pérouse (Galatasaray University and IFEA). The report Energy and Urban Innovation (2010) by the World Energy Council underlines the fundamental role of cities in the energy transition and the interlocking of several series of actions, related to technology, economy and policy. It appears that the political and social practices are a major issue and justify an increased contribution of social sciences to the analysis of the implementation of these new policies. The seminar intends to address these issues in the case of large Turkish cities.

Low-Tech / High-Tech

We intend in this workshop to reconsider how new technologies flow and circulate around the globe. One cannot ignore the obvious fact that we are seeing the emergence of new technological and industrial centres which accompany the rapid redistribution of economic power around the world; but one should also take into account the fact that technology is – and has always been – flowing and circulating in much more unexpected ways than predicted by the old-fashioned diffusionist models which are still prevalent, even in these times of globalisation. By privileging in this workshop (and in our collective project) a comparative approach between three very different geographical regions – South Asia, the Middle East and Europe – we hope to be able to propose an approach to technological flow, which will be sufficiently global and comparative, for going beyond the specificities of any particular culture or society, and which may really better help us understand the dynamics of technological circulations and the processes by which technologies are reinvented in different locations.

Call for papers - History

Urban and social development in Damascus from medieval to modern times (early 12th - mid 19th centuries)

Call for papers for the Bulletin d'Etudes Orientales 2011

Par ce numéro thématique du Bulletin d'études orientales portant sur l'histoire sociale et urbaine de Damas du début du XIIe à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, nous nous proposons dans un premier temps de combler un vide historiographique. En effet, malgré les nombreux travaux, ouvrages et articles régulièrement publiés, entre autres à l’Institut, il n'existe pas à ce jour de publication scientifique ayant pour objectif de fournir au lecteur, spécialiste ou non, aussi bien un état de la recherche actuelle qu'une synthèse thématique, diachronique et pluridisciplinaire ayant pour objet, l'histoire de la ville de Damas et les modalités de son développement aux époques médiévale et moderne.
