  Artistic Activism in India (History, Practice, Paradigm and Circulation)

  “Artivism” encompasses artistic actions, which tackle social and political issues, reviving agitational practises defined in resistance to the planetary ideological hegemony they refer to as neoliberalism. This resurgent awareness of the political nature of artistic creation questions consensual discourses on the neutrality of art and aesthetics, often confined in their "autonomy" and impervious to the disorders of the world. Within artistic activism a dialectic between two entities, traditionally perceived as being of a different nature, is played out: on the one hand the field of art (too often defined as autonomous, with no other functionality than its own) and on the other hand in the field of politics and social activities on the other hand (thought out as a praxis of the exercise of the power in an organized society). The central question posed by artistic activism could be stated in this way: How can we evaluate the capacity of art (visual arts, performing arts, literature, theatre, dance, video art, cinema, etc.) to function as social and political protest?

  Seminar - History

  A Societal Phenomenon: Waqf-habus in the Mediterranean

  Ce séminaire étudie la souplesse et l’adaptation de l’institution des fondations waqf/habous en réponse aux besoins des individus dans toutes les sociétés musulmanes mais aussi chez les druzes, les chrétiens et les juifs du monde « arabe » et « musulman ». L’ouverture des archives juridiques et bureaucratiques ottomanes avec l’évolution du regard épistémologique envers les documents juridiques sans oublier des chroniques et d’autres sources produites aux époques antérieures nous incitent à interpréter autrement l’utilisation juridique, sociale et spatiale du waqf. Le cadre temporel et géographique de ce séminaire est volontairement large, allant des premières pratiques du waqf des premières générations musulmanes jusqu’à nos jours puisque le waqf est pratiqué aujourd’hui dans des régions musulmanes ainsi qu'en Europe et aux USA.
