  The utopia of globalised culture and the reality of local communication practices

  Communication and digital technology in Francophone sub-Saharan Africa

  The imaginary world surrounding digital communication seems to impose a vision that crushes cultural diversity. The Symposium aims to jointly explore the heterogeneity of uses, productions and issues raised by the meeting of globalised technology that is often Western-centred, with various cultures. The first edition will focus on Francophone sub-Saharan Africa, a multicultural territory where contemporary geopolitical contexts pose particularly vital issues for communications research. These issues are of interest mainly to the information and communication sciences community, but the contributions of researchers from various cultural and disciplinary horizons will make it possible to tackle this very broad problem of communication, especially digital, in sensitive areas, according to different complementary approaches.

  La Narmada, un fleuve sacré du centre de l'Inde

  Approches pluridisciplinaires et cinématographiques

  La Narmada, l’un des septs grands fleuves sacrés de l’Inde, est évoquée comme une manifestation divine. Ses rives sont marquées par de nombreux géosymboles tels que des temples, révélant la vénération de la Narmada et de Shiva, deux divinités en interactions. La succession des symboles religieux, remarquables dans le paysage de la vallée le long du chemin de pèlerinage, témoigne de l’ampleur de la dévotion des pèlerins et de l’importance spirituelle de cet espace. Cette demi-journée sera l’occasion de présenter des études sur la Narmada au travers de plusieurs approches disciplinaires (anthropologie, géographie, sciences politiques). Les films documentaires sur les enjeux de la Narmada feront l’objet de présentations par leurs réalisateurs et de discussions. Une attention particulière sera accordée à la démarche de la réalisation de films documentaires pour diffuser des questionnements issus des sciences sociales.
