Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile
PhD position in Asian Studies
This Ph.D. position is funded by a MIS (Mandat d’Impulsion Scientifique/ Incentive Grant for Scientific Research) project: “Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile”. Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking people based at the border of Central Asia and the north-western part of China. Massive internments and arrests of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs have taken place in the region since 2016, including the Uyghur elite. In these conditions, centers of the cultural production of the Uyghurs have shifted from their native land to the diaspora spread across the world. This project looks at Uyghur diasporic cultural production that aims at drawing the world’s attention and bearing witness to the various abuses perpetrated at home by the Chinese government. The whole project analyses selected poems, short films, video clips, and dance and music performances to tackle new transmedial forms of testimonies in the Uyghur case.

Figuring catastrophe, thinking nuclear
What films on Fukushima have to teach the humanities and social sciences
Le projet du colloque « Figurer la catastrophe, réfléchir le nucléaire : ce que les films sur Fukushima apprennent aux sciences humaines et sociales » s’inspire de l’entreprise originale menée par Tetsuya Miura dans le Tohoku et à Tokyo de rétrospective itinérante de films sur Fukushima et sur le nucléaire. Notre premier objectif est la constitution d’un corpus de films sur Fukushima projetés dans le cadre de ce colloque, et sa conservation dans un fonds de recherche de « Films sur Fukushima » déposé à la bibliothèque Diderot de Lyon. Le deuxième objectif de cette manifestation scientifique est de fédérer la recherche lyonnaise menée dans plusieurs laboratoires de lettres, arts, sciences humaines et sociales sur le nucléaire et travailler à son rayonnement international. Ce colloque est organisé conjointement par le CERCC (centre d'études et de recherches comparées sur la création), l'institut d'Asie orientale (IAO) et la bibliothèque Denis Diderot de Lyon.
