  Death and Migration: Perspectives from the Post-Soviet Space

  This dossier of Revue européenne des migrations internationales proposes to take up a research theme that has undergone a strong renewal of interest in recent years, that of death and migration. This dossier aims to shed light on an area which has been little studied from this angle (the post-Soviet space) and to develop an approach which focuses on the management of bodies 'dead in the distance' (deaths in migration, deaths due to migration). This dossier also focuses on the effects of a certain proximity to death on the practices of foresight and mutual aid (when they exist) in the migratory context, as well as their impacts on migration as a whole. Two thematic axes will guide the contributions: the first concerns the practical modalities of the management of dead bodies abroad; the second concerns mitigating and solidarity practices in relation to the proximity of death in migration.

  The making of cultural policies

  Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization

  This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

  Le colloque international « L'espace politique ukrainien : Conflits et recompositions » vise à étudier les conflits et les recompositions qui ont lieu en Ukraine contemporaine dans leur complexité. Une perspective interdisciplinaire adoptée permet de faire dialoguer les approches politique, historique, économique, linguistique, sociologique et communicationnelle autour des concepts d’identité, d’espace public et d’équilibre géopolitique régional.

  Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe

  We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational.

  Seminar - Political studies

  Central Asia research group seminar

  Sciences Po-CERI

  Fondé sur la présence d’une dizaine de doctorants travaillant sur la région et rattachés à ce laboratoire, le GRAC se propose d'abord de présenter les thèses de politique comparée, de relations internationales ou d'économie politique en cours au CERI. Il invite bien sûr les doctorants d'autres disciplines (anthropologie, géographie etc.) inscrits dans d'autres établissements à y assister. Il se conçoit en effet comme un lieu ouvert de débats et d'échanges. C'est pourquoi il sera aussi l'occasion de faire intervenir les auteurs de travaux et ouvrages récents (en langue française, anglaise ou russe pour l'essentiel) afin d'inscrire les travaux des doctorants dans la perspective de l'actualité scientifique sur l'Asie centrale. Enfin, il pourra être l'occasion d'aborder avec des experts - européens ou centrasiatiques notamment - certaines questions liées aux grands équilibres de la zone (événements au Kirghizstan, présidence kazakhstanaise de l'OSCE, enjeux énergétiques...)
