  Call for papers - Representation

  Maritime realities and imaginations in the Indian Ocean

  Carnets de Recherches de l'océan Indien et Revue numérique de l'Observatoire des Sociétés de l'Océan Indien

   The main thrust of this third issue of Les Carnets is the oceanic interface of the Indian Ocean, as both a real and an imagined space. While academic inquiry haslargely focused on its resources and marine reserves, this third issue of Les Carnets endeavours to widen the existing perimeter and bring together texts that shed new light on the maritime dimension of the Indian Ocean. We welcome proposals in the areas ofgeography, law, history, literature, linguistics, and economics. Can we say that there is a distinct community of Indian Ocean inhabitants sharing values and interests as well as a common past that distinguish them from the other societies in their respective continents? Are there realities and a common imaginary for the peoples of this marine expanse? Or on the contrary, given the immensity of the Indian Ocean, would it seem that specificities and peculiarities dominate and fragment, overshadowing such a hypothesis ?
