Literary Circulations in South Asia: Producing, Translating, Preserving Texts

This conference aims at strengthening, sometimes even initiating, interdisciplinary discussions around a notion which is crucial for the understanding of literary cultures in South Asia, beyond the chronological, spatial and linguistic boundaries. The “circulation” of persons, groups, things and ideas, has obviously played a major role in shaping the evolution of the South Asian subcontinent since the ancient times up to the contemporary period.

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.

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.

Low-Tech / High-Tech

We intend in this workshop to reconsider how new technologies flow and circulate around the globe. One cannot ignore the obvious fact that we are seeing the emergence of new technological and industrial centres which accompany the rapid redistribution of economic power around the world; but one should also take into account the fact that technology is – and has always been – flowing and circulating in much more unexpected ways than predicted by the old-fashioned diffusionist models which are still prevalent, even in these times of globalisation. By privileging in this workshop (and in our collective project) a comparative approach between three very different geographical regions – South Asia, the Middle East and Europe – we hope to be able to propose an approach to technological flow, which will be sufficiently global and comparative, for going beyond the specificities of any particular culture or society, and which may really better help us understand the dynamics of technological circulations and the processes by which technologies are reinvented in different locations.

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.
