Karachi : Ordered Disorder and the Struggle for the City
With a population exceeding twenty million, Karachi is one of world’s largest ‘megacities’. It is also one of the most violent. Since the mid-1980s, Karachi has endured endemic political conflict and criminal violence, which revolve around control of the city and its resources (votes, land and bhatta—‘protection’ money). These struggles for the city have become ethnicised. In the process, Karachi, often referred to as a ‘Pakistan in miniature’, has become increasingly fragmented, socially as well as territorially.

New perspectives
Une nouvelle anthropologie de la folie est en train de naître. Davantage centrée sur la vie quotidienne que sur la clinique, elle relève les défis qui sont nés des limites de la psychiatrie transculturelle ou encore de l’ethnopsychiatrie d'autrefois. Cette matinée d'études permettra à trois de ses figures principales (Anne M. Lovell, Stefania Pandolfo et Veena Das) de présenter leurs recherches, conduites sur trois terrains extrêmement différents (la Nouvelle-Orléans après la catastrophe de Katrina, un bidonville de Rabat au Maroc et un quartier pauvre de Dehli), en dialogue avec une philosophe (Sandra Laugier) et un psychiatre (Richard Rechtman).
