Children's Products and Media: From Design to Circulation
This one-day conference focuses on the production of children's material and media cultures through the work of their creators. Three conferences given by international experts of creative industries and youth cultures (Marc Steinberg from Concordia University, Ning de Coninck-Smith from Aarhus University and Derek Johnson from Wisconsin-Madison University) will punctuate the event. Researchers from the CoCirPE project ("Design and Circulation of Cultural Products for Children") will also present their first results.

The urban experience of children and the institutional treatment of minors
Rethinking the issue of age in the city
Cette journée d’étude a comme objectif de croiser trois questions de sciences sociales qui sont habituellement traitées séparément : les institutions, l’âge et la ville. Pour ce faire, la journée s’interroge sur la production institutionnelle de l’enfance et des catégories d’âges. La dimension urbaine permet de mettre en contexte la réflexion sur le travail des intuitions qui s’occupent d’enfance et ses possibles variations dans des contextes et des tissus sociaux différents.

Researching contemporary China today - young researchers, new objects and methods
Jeunes chercheur·e·s, nouveaux objets et nouvelles méthodes
En l’espace de 20 ans, l’intérêt des chercheur-e-s en sciences sociales pour la société chinoise est allé croissant. L’espace universitaire international a ouvert largement ses portes aux étudiants et collègues chinois. Le nombre de doctorant-e-s chinois-e-s en France et à l’étranger et de Français en Chine s’est multiplié, tandis que le gouvernement chinois encourageait une ouverture du pays propice à la recherche en sciences sociales. Ces journées d’étude s’inscrivent dans ce contexte et ont une double visée. Leur ambition est de questionner de nouveaux objets d’études, quasi-impossibles ou improbables il y a encore deux décennies ou de revisiter des questions plus anciennes dans un contexte de libéralisation économique. Partant de là, le second objectif de ces journées, à travers l’exemple chinois, vise à réfléchir sur les modalités plus générales de l’enquête en sciences-sociales, à ses enjeux et ses limites, en particulier dans une perspective intergénérationnelle.

The Vulnerability and Marginality of Youth in the Mediterranean Basin (19th-20th centuries)
French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood
The Revue d’histoire de l’enfance “irrégulière” (the French Journal for the History of “Unconventional” Childhood) will devote its next issue to the different perceptions and management policies focused on irregular or marginal youth in the countries of the Mediterranean basin (i.e. the northern coast of the Mediterranean, the Middle East, the Mashriq and the Maghreb) throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. Specifically, we expect that the study of the public policies adopted by the countries of the region to deal with their youth will put the hypothesis of the unity and singularity of the Mediterranean to the test: either it will allow some sort of shared approach to emerge or, on the contrary, it will expose the Mediterranean as a cultural and ideological construct.

Transnational families and Filipino migrants "here" and elsewhere"
En lien avec la parution du livre de Fresnoza-Flot, Mères migrantes sans frontières. La dimension invisible de l’immigration philippine en France (2013), cette journée d’études revient sur la question de l’émergence des familles dites « transnationales » et de la migration des femmes du Sud (notamment des Philippines) vers les pays du Nord. L’objectif est de conduire une réflexion sur ces deux phénomènes intimement liés.

Conference, symposium - Ethnology, anthropology
Myths, Rites and Funerals: Dead along the Silk Road (from Ancient and Medieval Worlds to Japan)
This event will fall into two main themes: 1/ the death of the hero or the setting up of the cult of the dead and of the funeral rites in ancient and medieval societies in the Eastern world, the Far East and the Muslim world and 2/ the conduct of funerals and especially the development of rites studied through anthropological practices in Asiatic societies in order to analyze the codification of emotions with gestures, lamentations, elegies, and a number of practices (music, shouts, smells). In other societies, especially in the Muslim funeral rites, emotions are ruled by the Tradition (the hadīths) Yet in practice, the mourners, the cries and lamentations are a constant feature in Eastern societies but in contemporary western one, death has become a phenomenon, if not denied or at least hidden, emotions are channelled through the funeral rites which are managed by professionals.
