  Articuler l’histoire sociale et environnementale

  Proche-Orient, Maghreb, Afrique (XIXe-XXIe siècle)

  Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif de rassembler des historien-ne-s contemporanéistes spécialistes du Proche-Orient, du Maghreb et de l’Afrique travaillant dans une optique environnementale. Si la trame politique globale de l’histoire moderne et contemporaine de ces régions est bien connue (domination impériale ottomane ou monarchique locale, tutelle coloniale européenne, accession à la souveraineté nationale), les dynamiques sociales, juridiques et environnementales sont sous-documentées. Cette rencontre ambitionne de renforcer les liens entre des « aires » habituellement séparées tout en englobant une diversité de zones climatiques et d’écosystèmes, des côtes méditerranéennes aux forêts tropicales, en passant par les milieux désertiques. Afin de permettre un dialogue heuristique, il s’agira de réfléchir plus particulièrement aux manières d’articuler histoire sociale et environnementale, à partir de cas précisément situés et dans une approche comparatiste attentive aux sources mobilisées.

  Urban and architectural identities in Mediterranean cities

  Identités urbaines et architecturales dans les villes méditerranéennes

  The architectural and urban diversity characterising mediterranean city is inseparable from their identity. It seems clear at that this diversity and multiplicity of different identities shoud be considered as one of the greatest cultural and human values. The coexistence of forms in time and space, the blending of urban and architectural cultures, influences and contaminations, even the contrast and and contradictions of identity that are revealed in the mediterranean urban  territory reflect the stratification of the city in its pragmatics implications and its identity meanings. Today, in a context of a competition and attractiveness betwen territories, several mediterranean cities are going through a period of profound changes. Faced with these transformations, the reference to "identity territories" (Troin, 2004) and the ability of the city to build an identity and speared it among the population are called into question.

  Street signage in urban Africa and Israel/Palestine

  Memories, identities, politics

  The exhibition will examine street signage in urban Africa and Israel/Palestine as an outcome of dialectic processes, short and long termed, of spatial production and attached imagery and symbolism. That is, beyond being a signifier of a spatial orientation per se.

  Transformed urban spaces and gender issues in Arab and Mediterranean societies

  Tout en privilégiant la prise en compte des rapports de genre et les approches comparatives, le colloque insistera sur les processus de transformation des espaces et de leurs fonctions. L’espace est ici entendu dans un double sens : celui qui l’indexe aux lieux et aux paysages, celui qui renvoie à une délimitation abstraite pour dire, par exemple, l’espace politique ou l’espace littéraire. Les contributions de chercheurs, mais aussi d’autres types d’acteurs (associations, artistes …), ayant pour terrain les sociétés arabes et méditerranéennes seront privilégiées sans exclure d’autres régions du monde.

  Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias

  Second World Urbanity: Between Capitalist and Communist Utopias seeks to investigate the history of the radical reshaping of the Soviet World (in our words - the Second World), that Ada Louise Huxtable reported on in the late 1960s. This project aims to bring together scholarly contributions on the various endeavors in the Second World to conceive, build, and inhabit a socialist cityscape that was an alternative to the segregated spaces of capitalist cities and the atomized world of suburbia. Imagining and designing urban space were undeniably powerful instruments of forging socialist modernity. Second World Urbanity pays close attention to the tensions between global challenges and locally driven agendas that made architects, planners, and ordinary dwellers alter socialist modernity according to more particular interests.

  Forced Migration in Southern Cities. Issues of Escape

  Cette journée souhaite rassembler des chercheurs de sciences sociales s'intéressant aux évictions de citadins considérées « indésirables » dans les villes du Sud. Quelles sont les différentes formes de déguerpissement d'une société à l'autre, d'un système politique à l'autre ? Quelles sont les procédures en vigueur ? Par qui sont-elles menées ? Quelles formes prennent les nouveaux espaces alloués aux déplacés ? Comment évoluent-ils dans le temps ? Y a t-il des expériences socialement plus durables et justes ?

  Seminar - History

  Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar (2009-2010)

  Post-Ottoman Cities

  What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies. Séminaire organisé par Ulrike Freitag et Nora Lafi.

How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together?

And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies, with a specific focus on daily life issues. This seminar is supported by the research program ‘Europe in the Middle East – The Middle East in Europe’ EUME with funds of the Fritz Thyssen Stiftung.
