The Multidisciplinary Grid 2020 Conference

The conference is aimed at examining the ‘grid’ as a cross-disciplinary theme with a multiplicity of expressions in terms of definitions, concepts, perceptions, representations, and histories. The ‘grid’ has played a significant role in shaping the spatial imaginaries of a wide range of fields: from Hippodamus of Miletus to the Cartesian revolution in mathematics, from the visual arts to archaeology to 'smart cities' and artificial intelligence. As the 'grid' has become an all-encompassing term, signifying a vast array of infrastructural and communication networks through which contemporary life is mediated and controlled, it is commonly viewed as a quintessential symbol of modernity. The conference strives to explore a new horizon of relationships and fusion of the ‘grids’ in these areas as manifested between humans, between machines, and between humans and machines ‒ bridging philosophical, cultural, pedagogical, technical and ethical issues.

Data sharing between Lebanon, Jordan and Syria

Les chercheurs en sciences humaines et sociales qui ont choisi le Proche-Orient comme terrain d'investigation scientifique depuis le XIX^e siècle ont constitué des fonds documentaires comprenant tous les types de sources. Chercheur·e·s libanais·es, syrien·nne·s ? Jordannien·ne·s et Français·es ont produit et mobilisé des corpus de notes et carnets de terrain ou de fouilles, photographies, films et enregistrements sonores, sites web... Ces ensembles constituent des collections qui sont susceptibles d'éclairer l'histoire de la région et d'aider à la compréhension du temps présent. Ces collections restent pourtant souvent difficilement accessibles, parfois même inconnues du monde académique et culturel et bien plus encore des différents publics concernés.

Image(s) of India

What do we picture when we evoke India? For its 20 th annual Workshop, The “Association des jeunes études indiennes” (AJEI) invites young researchers to share their knowledge and to propose a critical approach of the concept of ‘Images’ in the subcontinent: To what extent do images reflect the many realities and representations of India and how does the Indian imagery affect scholarly, artistic and touristic as well as political perceptions, from a western and an Indian point of view? The Workshop is aimed to develop a cross-disciplinary dialogue in social sciences for a better understanding of the multiple roles that Images have been playing from antiquity to nowadays in the perceptions and the foundations of culture and identities in Indian society. The aim is also to open some reflexive discussions on the use and construction of images.

The Renaissance of Origins

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.

Recherche et traduction

Dans le domaine des études en langues et civilisations étrangères, nombreux sont les chercheurs qui pratiquent la traduction, soit par nécessité, soit par intérêt ; nombreux aussi sont les traducteurs qui réfléchissent, outre aux questions concrètes susceptibles d’être soulevées au cours de la traduction, sur l’aspect théorique ou esthétique de l’œuvre qu’ils traduisent. Cette situation est vraie pour tous ceux qui travaillent dans et entre les langues. Mais ces travaux de traduction effectués par des chercheurs sont souvent menés d’une manière « automatique », sans que les considérations systématiques soient menées sur les rapports complexes et problématiques qu’entretiennent l’acte de traduction et celui de la recherche.

Articulations of Subjectivity and Objectivity in the Modern Middle East, North Africa, South and Southeast Asia

International Summer Academy, 11-19 September 2014 at the Orient-Institut Beirut. This Summer Academy offers early-career scholars an opportunity to follow up on the debates about modernity, its preconditions and its aftermath by focusing on the multifarious processes in which societies outside Europe have adopted, translated, rejected or produced the global, the modern and tradition since the seventeenth century. It places a specific focus on the notions of subjectivity and objectivity as discursive practices which are intrinsically linked to each other.

Translation History Matters

1st East and West Conference on Translation Studies

This conference aims to provide a biannual forum for East and West dialogue on Translation Studies. This inaugural edition will be dedicated to “Translation History Matters” and welcomes contributions addressing issues related (though not circumscribed) to translation history, historiography and metahistoriography. Centred on translation understood as an intentional phenomenon of human and mostly intercultural communication, this conference aims to focus on the role played by translation in Eastern and Western cultural practices and encounters through history as well as on the role of history to understand both translation and translation studies. By bringing together Eastern and Western views on a multitude of translation history matters, this conference aims to stress why, how and for which purposes translation history matters.

Catégories langagières énonciatives d’un espace méditerranéen

Catégories langagières énonciatives d’un espace méditerranéen : de « l’homo oeconomicus » à « l’homo reciprocus ». Nous allons nous demander si quelques mouvements émergents -les minorités par ex.- ne mobilisent pas des « ressources » différentes de celles dont on se sert habituellement, comme « classes sociales », « mouvements sociaux » etc. Il s’agirait des catégories langagières de la « reconnaissance » (et non plus seulement de « l’action sur l’autre », homme ou nature), de l’inter-dépendance (et non plus seulement de l’indépendance) etc. Ces critères, énonçant non plus un « homo economicus » mais un « homo reciprocus », ne seraient-ils pas propres d’une « autre modernité », à l’œuvre dans la culture commune aux deux rives de la Méditerranée ?
