Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality
A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History
PhD students from the XXXIV cycle of the joint PhD Programme in Historical, Geographical, Anthropological Studies (University of Padova, Ca' Foscari Venice, Verona) are happy to invite you to their conference, titled "Crises and Infrastructures: Responses to Change Between Materiality and Immateriality. A Dialogue Between Anthropology, Geography and History". We will be exploring the interactions between various examples of Crises and Infrastructural response, trying to push for an interdisciplinary dialogue. We aim to reflect not only on the role of infrastructures as means of problem-solving, but also on the varied outcomes of critical moments. For more information, please see the detailed program attached.

The making of cultural policies
Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization
This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

Culture(s) in Sustainable Futures
Theories, practices and policies
Is culture the fourth pillar of sustainability alongside the ecological, economic and social aspects? How does culture act as a catalyst for ecological sustainability, human well-being and economic viability? What would our futures look like if sustainability was embedded in the multiple dimensions of culture? This landmark conference explores the roles and meanings of culture in sustainable development. The new ideas generated in the conference will inform and advance understandings of sustainability with cultural studies and practices, and vice versa.

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.

L'Institut de gestion de l'environnement et d'aménagement du territoire – ULB (avec l'appui du département d'histoire-UNamur et de la Conférence permanente du développement territorial) organise les 28 et 29 avril 2014 un colloque portant sur « Concilier expertise scientifique et participation : le défi posé par la Convention européenne des paysages ». Le colloque servira également à étudier la manière dont les outils de caractérisation des paysages sont construits et dans quelle mesure ils aident les acteurs du paysage (décideurs politiques, gestionnaires,…) à prendre une position en accord avec les besoins sociétaux (économiques, sociaux, environnementaux). En plus des présentations et posters retenus, d’éminents intervenants enrichiront le colloque avec leurs perspectives/expériences spécifiques.

The beginning of the XXI century is characterized by the development of international tourism practices. This activity, that has deeply changed the relation to time and space in the western world since the XVIII century, is now conquering the expanding countries of Asia. This specific moment of adoption of an activity and its practices, give the opportunity to analyze the various aspects of its growth. Are we observing a phenomenon of transfers, mutations or creations? If the development of tourism inChina and India has been studied for several years, its development in Indonesia still requires an in-depth analysis. How is this new activity appropriated in the fourth most populous country in the world? What are the effects on the Indonesian society, whose distinctiveness comes from the diversity of its people, cultures, and religions, throughout its 17,000 islands, from Sumatra to Papua?

Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe
We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational. -

Modèles de frontières ; des frontières modèles ?
Revue Belgeo 2-2013
L'étude des espaces transfrontaliers se fait souvent en référence à un contexte propre, dans la mesure où chaque frontière peut difficilement être analysée indépendamment du cas toujours particulier des États en présence, des organisations régionales, locales et d'une certaine histoire. L’objectif de ce numéro spécial de Belgéo est d’évaluer comment dépasser la démarche monographique et parvenir à une modélisation de ces espaces. -

Structures du XXe siècle : patrimoine architecturale et patrimonialisation
The evolution of the architectural languages of the XX century, from modernist to post-modernist, has often stressed the importance of structures in expressing and fostering innovation. However, in the patrimonialization processes identities, memories and languages, prevail on structures and materials, due to new uses, new norms and standards adaptation. -

L’enjeu de la perception dans la création contemporaine in situ
Ce colloque propose d’explorer le domaine particulier de la création artistique contemporaine in situ – Land Art, art environnemental, art public, performance – sous l’angle de l’analyse de la perception sensorielle, intellectuelle et esthétique, de l’étude de formes contextualisées / conceptualisées et de leurs modes de représentation. Nous analyserons les types de rapports que ces œuvres sur site entretiennent avec l’observateur, loin des lieux traditionnellement dédiés à l'art. Cette manifestation scientifique accompagne l’installation pérenne de la sculpture Avignon Locators de l’artiste américaine Nancy Holt dans les jardins du campus centre-ville de l’Université d’Avignon et des Pays de Vaucluse. Cette œuvre in situ, adaptée au site, est une réactivation de Missoula Ranch Locators – Vision Encompassed (Montana, 1972), installation majeure de Nancy Holt démantelée au début des années 2000. L’inauguration de l’œuvre, en présence de l’artiste, se déroulera lors du colloque et célèbrera les quarante ans de la création de Missoula Ranch Locators. -

First Jean Brunhes Conference
The first Jean Brunhes conference will focus on current re-conceptions of the social. To what extent do new perspectives in Human Heography focusing on concepts such as practice, performance, assemblage, network or system represent an epistemological shift? Do they add to, redefine or replace more traditional concepts within human geography such as space, place, territory or region? What kind of knowledge do these perspectives produce and how do they transform the relationship between knowledge and action? What are the political consequences of these perspectives? And what’s next? -

Traduction(s), migration(s), identité(s)
Dans un monde soumis à la dynamique de la globalisation et marqué par des mouvements migratoires massifs, les figures et oppositions figées du centre et de la périphérie, de l’identité et de l’altérité, du soi et de l’autre se dissolvent tandis que l’expérience du déracinement, de l’exil, du passage produit une superposition de plusieurs cultures qui s’hybrident dans un territoire radicalement nouveau par rapport aux migrations d’antan. La situation du sujet moderne, décrite par Salman Rushdie dans Imaginary Homelands comme celle de l’homme traduit (the translated man), tend à se généraliser. Homi Bhabha a élaboré une théorie de la culture qui est proche d’une théorie du langage, recourant à la notion de traduction comme motif ou trope. Il s’agira, dans un premier temps, d’approfondir la réflexion sur la « traduction culturelle » et d’envisager dans quelle mesure ce motif peut (et doit) être lié à une réflexion renouvelée sur le rôle et les modalités de la traduction au sens propre.
