The basic questions of this workshop are: How did the empires of the Ancient Near East affect the lives of ordinary people in their realm?  To which extent was rural life and life in smaller towns permeated by imperial agents and policies, hence by imperial dynamics?

  The Political Economy of the Islamic Republic of Iran

  An accurate assessment of the current economic and political situation in Iran today clearly implies examining the relations between the structure of political power, the dominant forms of ownership, and economic activity. Furthermore, the interweaving of the economic and political spheres in Iran today can be better understood through this lens. Finally, an analysis of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s political economy can also provide keys to understand the country's future political evolutions. An analysis in terms of political economy thus requires a multidisciplinary approach involving exchanges between economists, political scientists, sociologists, and historians.

  The history of railway restoration in the world

  Technology and logistics, systems of the exploitation of services, the sociability of food and cultural representations, 19th-21st century

  Dès lors que des voyageurs ont entrepris de parcourir des distances longues, le problème de leur alimentation s'est posé. L'avènement du chemin de fer a prolongé cette demande alimentaire mais l'a également modifiée. L'objet de ce colloque (Tours, 16 et 17 décembre 2014) est d'en étudier les modalités spécifiques et  les innovations qui en ont résulté (groupes de restauration, voiture-restaurant, buffetiers de gare, vendeurs à quais, transformation culturelle des pratiques alimentaires).

  The Chinese Presence in Algeria

  Maghrebian and African Prospects

  Ce workshop, qui a un caractère exploratoire, tentera d'évaluer notre connaissance actuelle des activités chinoises en Algérie puis, par comparaison avec ce qui se passe ailleurs en Afrique, cherchera à mieux spécifier les rapports sino-algériens.
