Borders and territorial reconfigurations in the Middle East and the Sahel
The Arab uprisings lead to many political and sociological analyses but few of them consider the spatial and territorial consequences of the misnamed Arab Springs. This international conference aims to explore this turn in the Middle East and the Sahel: five years after the birth of the South Soudan state and the beginning of the Arab uprisings, what changes have occurred with respect to borders? Can the collapses of some states be seen as the end of borders or the disintegration of national spaces and the outline of a new enduring and alternative territorial order?

Conference, symposium - Language
Translation(s), Migration(s), Identities
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.
