Narrative forms and co-production in Arab cinemas
Norms, constraints, and margins of freedom
Film industry in the Arab world remains generally underdeveloped. Arab countries still depend on international film support funds, mainly European. This puts Arab producers, scriptwriters and filmmakers in a subaltern position in relation to European producers and funders, whose expectations in terms of content as well as narrative and aesthetic forms end up strongly impacting the film creation process. On the other hand, margins of freedom and resistance can be created within this system. This edition of Regards aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

The Body in all its states. Aesthetics of the body in the Arab World
"Regard" Journal
The current issue of Regards will focus on the relations between the arts (cinema, theater, dance, visual arts…) and the body in the Arab societies and, more broadly, in the Mediterranean region. This sensitive subject suffers from prejudgment and prejudice in both audience’s and critics’ minds.

Otherness and religious deviance - for a comparative approach to heresy in the history of religions
Pour une approche comparatiste de l’hérésie en histoire des religions
Ce colloque international réunira des conférenciers japonais et européens. Le but est d'entamer une réflexion sur l'hérésie comme catégorie conceptuelle en histoire et en histoire des religions, avec une vaste ouverture chronologique (de l'Antiquité au XIXe siècle) et géographique (Japon et Europe). Selon la méthode comparatiste, il s’agira d’affiner ou de nuancer la compréhension de son propre domaine en se confrontant à une matière différente. Une telle approche permettra de proposer de nouvelles perspectives afin de dépasser les acquis de domaines restés longtemps en vase clos. Cette conférence s’inscrit dans le cadre du projet de recherche Pouvoir, hérésie et religion dans l'Occident et le Japon médiéval : étude comparée mené à l'université de Neuchâtel soutenu par le Fonds national suisse de la recherche scientifique (FNS).

The discourses of heresy - East-West comparison exercises
Exercices de comparaison Est-Ouest
Ce colloque international réunira des médiévistes japonais et européens, dont les recherches portent sur la légitimation religieuse de la violence, la répression de la dissidence ou sur des formes de religiosité ayant été considérées comme déviantes dans leurs contextes respectifs. Les différentes contributions porteront sur des aspects particuliers tirés des recherches personnelles des conférenciers. Selon la méthode comparatiste définie par M. Détienne et affinée par P. Borgeaud, il s’agira de se confronter à une matière différente de son aire de spécialité, dans le but d’affiner ou de nuancer la compréhension de son propre domaine. Une telle approche permettra de proposer de nouvelles perspectives afin de dépasser les acquis de domaines restés longtemps en vase clos.

Beginnings, genesis and creation in 15th-16th century arts
Cette manifestation, ouverte gratuitement au grand public, souhaite interroger les multiples et diverses modalités de représentation des origines au sein des arts figuratifs à la Renaissance. Quelles sont les conditions d’émergence et d’existence d’un discours figuré sur les origines ? Y-a-t-il des thèmes, motifs ou figures qui invitent plus spécifiquement à une telle mise en scène ? Quelles sont les fins de la convocation de ces figures de l’origine ? Le colloque aura lieu au mois de juin 2018, à Tel Aviv puis à Paris, le temps de quatre journées et réunira une trentaine de spécialistes principalement français et israéliens.

Beginnings, Genesis and Creation in the Art of the VXth and XVIth Centuries
This conference seeks to introduce a variety of different approaches and interpretations of the concept of “origins” within the visual arts during the Renaissance. However, to consider the question of origins necessitates establishing a distinction between an original beginning such as the creation of the world, an event which initiated historical time, and the symbolic exercises of re-creation that follow it. These phenomena of echo or aemulatio are defined by their manifest desire to capture the primal energy of the original beginning. Such re-creations attempt to reproduce the vitality inherent in the original beginning, and are characterized, above all, by a fundamental desire to reestablish a link to an ideal and initial origin.

Conference, symposium - History
This conference is an international symposium that proposes to study the entire range of exchanges and relations established between these two areas during the Early Modern Times (1500-1820). Its main objective is to think about diplomatic, economic, religious and cultural links between Europe and the Middle East by calling upon over twenty researchers with specializations in the Arab, Persian and Muslim world. In addition, this conference will provide a comprehensive overview to date of the Arabian Gulf at a time of major political change, including the successive arrival of the European “trading empires”. It will focus on some of the methodological challenges raised by a global, connected and cross-cultural thinking approach to the History of the Middle East and Europe”.

Jewish Perceptions of the Revolutionary Transition (1789-1814)
World Congress of Jewish Studies
We are putting together a proposal for one session at the World Congress of Jewish Studies focused on Jewish perceptions of the revolutionary period in Europe (1789-1814). Our goal is to generate a discussion about Jewish responses to the French revolutionary transition and emancipatory paradigm in the European broader context, as we believe that Jewish sympathies and resistances should be reconsidered from a multidisciplinary perspective involving political as well as cultural, religious, social and economic issues.

Freedom of expression and its judges - new issues, new perpectives?
Ce colloque n’entend pas reprendre les thèmes liés à l’histoire de la liberté d’expression et à ses dimensions théoriques. Prenant le terrain pour objet d’analyse, il doit permettre d’observer les effets du renouvellement des supports de la liberté d’expression en ce début de siècle pour envisager son traitement quotidien, au fil des espèces et des situations, par les pouvoirs publics. L’on devra ainsi s’interroger sur la mutation de la liberté d’expression dans ses rapports avec le droit et les institutions, avant de décortiquer la manière avec laquelle l’autorité étatique – administrative et juridictionnelle, en amont comme en aval – trace les contours de cette liberté, ses conditions d’exercice et ses limites. L’objectif de ce colloque est ainsi de questionner – dans une approche comparative ouverte sur différentes expériences nationales – les ambigüités de la liberté d’expression telle qu’elle apparaît dans les pratiques récentes des individus, des professionnels du droit et de la sécurité.

Can regions understand each other?
Europe and Asia: challenges and crisis-management
Further to the first Europe-Asia conferences exploring regional regime dynamics (France, 2004), policies of regional cooperation (Korea, 2005), interregional competition (France, 2012) and the limits of regional constructions (Kazakhstan, 2014), this 2016 edition will look at the reciprocal understanding of regions and how that is conducive to their capacity (or lack thereof) to monitor crises they undergo, both specific crises and interregional ones. Papers must address original research, in regional dynamics of Asia and Europe, since the end of the cold war and focus on one area among.

The making of cultural policies
Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization
This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

The idea of medieval architecture in Europe and Japan
L'idée d'architecture est aujourd'hui universellement partagée. Qu'en était-il au Moyen Âge au Japon et en Europe ? Comment percevait-on alors les abbatiales romanes et les cathédrales gothiques, les temples Zen et le style Grand Bouddha ? Et, de nos jours, quelle perception de l'architecture médiévale ont les historiens de l'art en Europe et au Japon ? Le XIXe siècle a insisté sur les convergences entre les cultures japonaises et européennes. Ne faut-il pas réévaluer les différences, qui sont aussi des signatures culturelles ? Ces questions, qui trouvent une application concrète dans la conservation du patrimoine médiéval, engagent profondément notre présent.

Climatic change, air quality and energy challenges: the role policy in urban transport and preventative measures in developing countries and emerging economies
Transport is an integral component of sustaining livelihoods: without efficient urban transport mankind would not survive and develop and nor would economies. Yet, despite the immense benefits that transport enables, such as access to jobs, markets, education, and consumer goods and services via global supply chains, the transport sector generates substantial disbenefits. These include dependence on non-renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, local pollutions, road accidents and inequalities of access. Such disbenefits clearly demonstrate that the transport sector is currently unsustainable economically, environmentally and socially.

This workshop will explore the theme of Turkish political and cultural influence in the world, exploring scientific debates on the topic of “soft power” and its applicability to contemporary Turkey. This workshop aims at raising several questions: To what extent is the concept of “soft power” adequate to characterize Turkey’s influence and its weaknesses both on the international stage and towards its neighboring countries? Reciprocally, how can the analysis of the different patterns of Turkey’s influence help us question the concept of “soft power”, and to come up with other notions?

Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach
If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs. Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.
