  Comparative history of the constitution and the appropriation of ethnological knowledge in Germany and France

  En Allemagne et en France de la première moitié du vingtième siècle, les traditions scientifiques et contextes institutionnels se sont développés parfois de manière très différente. Mais pour ce qui concerne l’ethnologie, il existe aussi des intersections entre les deux conceptions épistémologiques nationales, qui rendent intéressantes une exploration de leur histoire croisée. Le présent projet se donne pour objectif de montrer comment des champs thématiques se sont influencés de manière parallèle, antagoniste ou en empruntant l’un à l’autre pour se développer. Dans ce cadre, il sera particulièrement observé la manière dont le savoir ethnologique s’est diffusé et a été reçu en Allemagne, en France, puis dans une forme de réciprocité au miroir des pays africains. Les chercheurs associés au programme s’intéresseront aux méthodes des ethnologues, aux connaissances qu’ils acquièrent par leur truchement et aux institutions qui les portent en Allemagne et en France.

  Call for papers - Education

  What mankind? Teaching, students, (male and female) teachers

  Revue internationale d'ethnographie n°4

  This call for contribution of the Revue Internationale d’Ethnographie considers gender issue in terms of education and training through three “foundations”: teaching, students and teachers. It aims at assembling articles dealing with these three “foundations” – in a connected or disconnected way – by putting into evidence the dynamic which connect them to the gender issue so as to renew the knowledge extending to these observations of various situations. Expected contributions will emanate from ethnography but those from different subjects concerning humanities and social sciences may be relevant as well.

  Call for papers - History

  The Office as an interior (1880-1960)

  The so-called “second industrial revolution” meant a significant growth in the tertiary sector (banks, insurance companies, etc.); at the same time new administrative bodies arose both in industry and at agencies and public authorities. This went hand in hand with a massive increase in the numbers of employees. The employee became the socio-professional figure of the urban modernity, whereas the professional woman became increasingly important. The symposium addresses the development of the office in order to analyse the interdependency between physical and social space, materiality and practices, strategies and tactics, structures and individuals. Likewise, it is intended to approach the office from a historical perspective, as attention is directed towards the significance of the office for structuring and transforming the sociocultural situation from the turn of the last century through the end of the 1950’s.
