    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.

    Conference, symposium - History

    India and Europe from Barlaam to Brecht

    Ce colloque aura lieu le 27 janvier 2011, à L'institut de Pondichéry. Il s'agira de lancer par le biais de quelques exemples une réflexion et une discussion à plusieurs degrés et à plusieurs voix. La matinée sera consacrée à notre Moyen-Âge lorsque l'Inde rayonne sur l'imaginaire européen à travers les sources classiques liées à la légende d'Alexandre et à travers les apports plus récents dont les vecteurs sont purement intellectuels – voir les avatars de « Barlaam et Josaphat » – ou très humains – voir Marco Polo, archétype du voyageur médiéval. L'après-midi nous serons au XXè siècle mais grâce à l'inventivité de Salman Rushdie ce sera avec un détour par la renaissance via les cours des Médicis et des Moghols. Quant à Brecht, il a permis sans le savoir de montrer comment la technique dramatique indienne a pu enrichir sa contrepartie européenne dans les années 1970.

    Conference, symposium - History

    Tamil and Tamil Akam at the Crossroads

    The objective of the conference is to examine Tamil Nadu as an example of a geographical space where multiple cultures met, exchanged, and absorbed from outside, while Tamil maintained until recent times its unique ancient traditions. To bring together an international cadre of scholars who work in diverse disciplines that focus on a single region is to create new knowledge as is the way of any innovative conference. The fourteen scholars participating in the event bring a range of disciplinary perspectives to the idea of Tamil and Tamil Akam as a crossroads of cultures and a locus of international exchange in both the arts and sciences.
