  5th International "Language and Territory" Colloquium

  This multidisciplinary colloquium will discuss the different ways that languages and territories are linked, and will show the political, social and economic stakes that arise from the relationships between them. Above all, these terms refer to men and women with their social practices and representations, at the core of the logic of territoriality. New territories give rise to new language practices, which, in turn, create new spaces, discourse and meaning. The "boundaries" we draw between languages and territories are permeable in time and space, depending on factors such as population displacement, language policies, linguistic and social representations, education, mass media and socio-cultural values.

  Colonial framing

  The private uses of photography in the European empires

  Depuis une vingtaine d’années, les sources visuelles sont l’objet d’une attention croissante de l’histoire coloniale dans le sillage des Post-colonial studies. Ces études ont permis la déconstruction des clichés et des stéréotypes raciaux diffusés dans les métropoles européennes par le biais de supports multiples : peintures orientalistes, affiches de propagande coloniale, publicités et cartes postales. Parmi ces différents supports, la photographie a joué un rôle de premier plan en devenant l’un des mediums privilégiés pour documenter l’expansion et le développement de l’impérialisme européenne à partir de la fin du XIX^e siècle. Qu’elles prennent la forme de supports ethnographiques, de cartes postales pittoresques ou de reportages journalistiques, ces photographies sont destinées à un usage public et visent à légitimer l’emprise coloniale aux yeux des opinions publiques européennes.

  Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world

  History, culture, heritage

  This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.
