  Transition, Displacement and Circulation of Objects: Visible and Unseen

  Transition, déplacement et circulation des objets : Visible et « invu »

  This colloquium aims to inquire into the meanings ascribed to, and produced by, the material objects in course of their travel, displacement, circulation, transition in time and space. We suggest to discuss the phenomenology of transitional objects and their performative power; to understand how the meanings of these objects are anchored in their materiality and visibility, how they are communicated by the historical references they evoke, and tightened with the identity of communities that see or ignore them

  La vie des objets en Chine

  Over the last twenty years, material culture studies have occupied a growing place in the social sciences. How does this growing interest in objects and material culture reveal itself in Chinese studies? Choosing from different disciplines and different periods, this AFEC workshop aims to examine how to approach objects in the humanities and social sciences—from everyday objects to natural objects, consumer goods, technical or scientific instruments, objects of study or devotion, or ritual objects and works of art. By bringing together specialists from different fields (history, art history, archaeology, technology, anthropology, literature, sociology, etc.), the workshop explores the life, trajectory and the possible metamorphoses of the value, status and function of objects, as well as the relationships these artefacts have with individuals—raising in addition questions of their social uses—by focusing on their religious, symbolic, political, economic, emotional or memorial dimensions.

  Writing the city [into the urban]

  In the aftermath of the May 1968 uprising in Paris, Henri Lefebvre published in 1970 his classic treatise La Révolution Urbaine where he pointedly placed the urban in the centre of this revolution, identifying a theoretical need for the concept of the urban as a planetary possibility, one he considered more appropriate than a redundant notion of the city as a social scientific object. This workshop is a step in this direction where, coming 50 years after the backlash of ’68, this event aims to establish a conversation between the city and the urban by drawing on the notion of "ethnographic theorisation" where the theoretical potential of the urban can be harnessed from ethnographic insights of the city. It explores contingent ways in which the city can be written into the urban through manoeuvres that engage with the process of writing the city across disciplines from literary cultures to urban studies

  Échelles de l'alimentation : une perspective asiatique

  The international conference “Scales of the Alimentation: an Asian Perspective” aims at bringing together the French and international scholars of Asia in order to promote a global approach to Asia and to bring together different research institutions based in Europe, therefore to develop the exchanges between different international scholars of Asian societies and experts related to the themes of the food. Our objective is to deliver in-depth analysis and innovative methods arising from research in social and human sciences. We aim to better understand economic, political, institutional, cultural, technological and organizational dynamics of past and present dietary practices in Asia. In particular, we will focus on how the state of food practices and their knowledge is interwoven with other social and technological developments, that are the legacies of expanding and shrinking empires and the mass industrialization.

  Travailler sur / avec les archives et l'écrit en anthropologie et en études littéraires

  Perspectives sur le monde swahili

  This theme is intended to reflect the rapprochement of the research objects and theoretical perspectives of anthropology and literary studies. This rapprochement offers opportunities to discuss commonalities and differences in how archives and texts are explored and analysed. It also intends to interrogate the relations between the written word and orality and performance. As historians and philologists working on Arabic and Swahili manuscripts have demonstrated, due to early Islamization and the preservation of documents, the Swahili world is characterized by the pervasiveness of the written word. As a result it is a particularly relevant site in which to engage in such theoretical and epistemological reflections.

  Literature and Society in Central Asia

  En se concentrant sur les défis sociétaux tels qu’ils se reflètent dans la production littéraire centre-asiatique, cette demi-journée propose d’apporter des réponses, mais aussi de nouvelles formes de questionnements sur la façon dont les différentes sociétés et les populations de cette aire ont dépeint leur propre cheminement historique au cours des siècles. Tout en cherchant à étudier la façon dont on pouvait user de la littérature comme d’une source historiographique, et tout en essayant d’évaluer le niveau d’intrication de la littérature avec la société qui la produit, les intervenants accorderont une attention spécifique à la question des relations entre culture et pouvoir. La période abordée s’étend du XV^e siècle jusqu’ aux années 1990, à partir de la fin de l’époque médiévale, lorsque « la renaissance timouride » livrait les plus belles heures de l’incessante symbiose turco-persane, pour s’achever avec la perestroïka envisagée du point de vue de la littérature kirghize.

  Allevamento transumante e agricoltura

  La transhumance en Italie centrale de la Protohistoire à nos jours

  Il seminario, organizzato all'interno del progetto "La transhumance en Italie centrale de la Protohistoire à nos jours", vuole riflettere sul rapporto tra pastorizia e agricoltura, tra forme di conflitto, strumenti di regolazione e ipotesi di integrazione. L'arco temporale cui si riferiscono le relazioni previste - tra ricerche di prima mano e riflessione storiografica - va dall'Età romana al Novecento e allarga l'area indagata al Mezzogiorno, peraltrofortemente connesso all'Italia centrale dalla pratica della transumanza ovina.Una relazione sull'area alpina e un'altra sulla Penisola iberica offriranno, infine, utili elementi diconfronto.
