Teaching Gender. Theory and society in the classroom
Now more than ever, gender as an analytical concept is being heavily contested from diverse quarters inside as well as outside academia. The panel discussion addresses key questions of how to teach gender as critical theory in the light of current societal and political tensions on the one hand and institutional constraints inside the university on the other hand. How can we teach “critique”? What does teaching gender mean in terms of methods and topics? And how can we engage in critical research and teaching while responding to societal expectations as to relevant output and knowledge transfer?

This monthly seminar will aim to invite researchers to come and present their work in progress or recently published that address the “Arab mathematics”, understood in a broad sense to be studied not only mathematics itself, but science “mathematized” of the era, such as astronomy, optics and static; Furthermore, we do not restrict themselves to only written in Arabic mathematics, but we can address their writings in other languages extensions, like Latin, Hebrew and Farsi.

Modernizers: Changing science and society in the Middle East and North Africa (1870s-1930s)
Re-constructing a local genealogy of the scientific modernization in North Africa and the Middle East is still a pending task. Research on modern Arab-Islamic scientists, physicians and engineers will help expand the collective memory of modernization in those countries by adding new, often badly-known or forgotten actors to its ranks. Biographies will also help illuminate the intrinsic connection existing between science and society, showing how science has always been a necessary element in plans for national independence, social change and democratic rule. This conference will focus on the biographies of some late 19th-early 20th century scientists from Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria

Scholars, Artists, Mediators: Approaches and Knowledge of the Maghreb (2010-2011)
Depuis quelques années, ce séminaire s’attache à déterminer la façon dont s’est constitué à l’époque coloniale un corpus de savoirs sur le Maghreb à partir de perspectives multiples, professionnelles (médecins, militaires, interprètes) ou disciplinaires (études arabes, archéologie, ethnographie, géographie). Il s’interroge notamment sur les modes et les types de connaissance des sociétés musulmanes de l’Afrique du Nord à l’époque coloniale – langues, pratiques religieuses, usages profanes – en relation avec les projets de réforme de la société et le développement de nouvelles pratiques culturelles, -

Algeria in the first decades of the conquest (1830-1870)
Dans un contexte de renouvellement historiographique du fait colonial, l’histoire de l’Algérie commence à susciter des recherches nombreuses intégrant notamment les problématiques de l’histoire des savoirs. L’objectif de cette journée d’études, volontairement centrée sur les premières décennies de la conquête, est d’éclairer les modalités de la mise en place d’un ordre colonial en Algérie. Une histoire des savoirs prise dans un sens large peut apporter un éclairage fécond sur la manière dont un pouvoir colonial s'instaure et dont la connaissance recueillie sur ce terrain modifie la pratique administrative. L’attention sera portée sur la restitution de pratiques techniques et sur leur mise en forme, sur les formes d’enregistrement des données et la constitution d'une connaissance empirique dans un contexte de guerre, celui de l'Algérie dans les premières décennies de la conquête coloniale. -

Savants, artistes, médiateurs : approches et connaissances du Maghreb
Que sait-on du Maghreb en Europe aujourd’hui ? À partir d’une question très générale sur la connaissance empirique, lettrée et sensible qu’ont les Européens du Maghreb, sur sa place dans les imaginaires contemporains et sur la situation de la recherche savante qui le prend comme objet – ou comme cadre d’étude, on cherchera à comprendre les modes et les processus de constitution de ces savoirs et les œuvres qui les ont fixés. -
