  The Public Sphere and the Politics of Space

  With the gradual rise of socio-economic and political challenges facing the Middle East and North African (MENA) and the Sub-Saharan regions, the “public space” and the “public sphere” have come to the forefront of scholarly debates and research by scholars in various fields of studies. The concept of the “public sphere” was conceived as part of the interplay of first a physical locale that imply constant social relationships in a concrete public domain (public space) and second the constellations of socio-economic factors contributing to the rise of political debates (public sphere). The aim of this conference is to probe social, economic, political problems via the theoretical lenses of the public sphere, the different aspects of spatial configurations, the politics of space, as well as the counter-public or parallel discursive arenas as conceived by Nancy Fraser.

  Regionalisation, governance and territorial development in Morocco

  Between issues of perception and challenges in application

  La politique régionale est considérée comme l'un des piliers de la concrétisation et de la pratique de la bonne gouvernance dans la gestion des affaires publiques. Bien que le développement territorial représente un concept évolué pour l'opérationnalisation de la régionalisation, il fait néanmoins face à des problématiques complexes liées aux multiples niveaux d'intervention (national, régional ou local), dans lesquelles interfèrent des considérations d'ordre conceptuel et méthodologique (concept de développement territorial et la détermination  de l'approche d'intervention), mais également par le cadre institutionnel (politique de décentralisation, de déconcentration et de régionalisation), des acteurs de développement  et des parties prenantes (l'Etat, les collectivités territoriales, les privés et les composantes de la société civile). Cette situation appelle à des perceptions nouvelles et à des approches de gestion innovantes.

  Multiculturalism, interculturality, complex identities: the example of Caucasia

  The aim of the symposium is to highlight the treasures of an area that is culturally and historically a kind of multicultural island: the Caucasus. Nizami Ganjavi, for example, is a poet of multiculturalism, and he owes his fame both to his lyricism and to his ethics of peaceful coexistence. The Book of Dede Korkut is another interesting example: it is the result of a meeting of cultures, and it inspired many multicultural artists (poets, dramatists, film-makers). Caucasian multiculturalism is indeed still alive (among the numerous works inspired by the Oghuz epic, one can think of Nabi Hazri’s Dreams and legends, of Altaï Mamedov’s Deli Domrul or of Anar’s Dede Gorgut). The symposium will focus on the relationship between multiculturalism, interculturality and intermediality, as well as on the role of multiculturalism in the field of pedagogy.
