  Sinophone musical worlds and their publics

  China Perspectives / Perspectives Chinoises

  Recent success of Chinese reality television singing competitions broadcasted on national television or streamed directly on the internet, has shown the extent of musical genres represented in the Chinese world, from pop to folk via hip-hop or rock ’n’ roll. The popularity of new musical styles up to then considered as deviant as well as the recent attempts of the State to intervene directly on musical contents, tend to blur the distinctions between “mainstream” (流行) music, “popular” (民间) music as non-official, “underground” (地下) music or even “alternative” (另类) music. This call for papers aims at promoting a better understanding of the transformations of Chinese “musical worlds”, in the sense that Becker gave to “art worlds”, which stresses the role of cooperation and interactions between the different actors of the artistic sphere.

  Place-based approaches to emerging architectural, urban design and planning challenges in Africa and the Global South

  The fast paced urbanization and mushrooming of metropolitan areas in Africa and the Global South especially in connection with rights and access to basic services, have attracted much attention in the last decades from the public, local experts, decision-makers and international stakeholders. In parallel, other built environments such as emerging small towns, shrinking cities and rural areas are now experiencing important pressures and changes, and are increasingly coming under the spotlight.

  The cinema of insurrection

  Experiences and singular imagery in conflict and post-conflict situations

  Ce colloque est l’aboutissement d’un premier travail de recherche et de rencontre conduit avec des cinéastes et militants filmant de manière atypique les situations de conflits et post-conflits depuis plusieurs années ou décennies. L’objectif de ce colloque est donc de confronter les pratiques et les engagements d’artistes et de chercheurs enquêtant sur diverses situations de mobilisations ou de résistances armées, et sur la mémoire et l’amnésie constitutive de l’expérience historique des situations de post-conflits. Ces pratiques filmiques peuvent aussi inspirer les sciences sociales par leurs positions et leurs observations au plus proche des expériences de leurs interlocuteurs. En plaçant les travaux de ces cinéastes au centre des interventions, ce colloque entend aussi réinterroger les modes de savoir et les constructions de sens produits par l’image.

  PhD position in Chinese studies and cultural studies

  This project will explore how young Chinese cosplayers engage with the public at large to express new identities in spaces that are heavily regulated by social and political censoring mechanisms. On the one hand, this doctoral research will explore the structural organisation of Chinese cosplay (associations, conventions); on the other hand, it will look into specific bodily performances in public spaces.

  Southeast Asian Cities’ Expressions of Modernity in Their Relation to Local Heritages

  EuroSEAS Conference, Group 6: Popular culture, museums and heritage

  The panel will explore spatial configurations created in these contexts, questioning the forms of modernity expressed by architectural and urban projects. With the purpose of challenging a general assumption according to which Asian and especially Southeast Asian urban landscapes affected by recent developments tend toward irremediable standardization and “Westernization”, the panel will explore local expressions of modernity through the examination of projects pointing to a reinterpretation of forms of local heritages.
