    Study days - Representation

    The representations of martyrs in the Islamic world

    The manufacture of images - presences in the public space

    Partant du constat largement partagé d'une exposition aussi nombreuse que diverse des figures de martyrs dans les espaces publics de pays musulmans, cette journée d'étude se consacre à l'analyse des processus de fabrication (peintures, photographies, pochoirs, images numériques...), des supports d'affichage (murs, musées, internet) ainsi qu'à la mise en rapport de ces productions par-delà les singularités des pays, des conflits et des mythologies, pour en interroger le sens et les évolutions.

    Conference, symposium - Asia

    Islam and Regional Cultures in Pakistan

    CEIAS conference

    With the hope of throwing new light on the transformations of Pakistani society, this one-day conference intends to move the focus away from two dominant discourses on Pakistan : that is, on the one hand, the security discourse of political and media circles that reduces Pakistan to a state on the fringe of failure, trying to cope with radical Islam and terrorism; and, on the other hand, Pakistan’s official nationalism, which rests on a unitary conception of the nation that disregards the cultural and religious diversity of the country, stressing instead Islam and Urdu as national unifiers while relegating regional cultures to folklore. This conference hopes to partly fill this gap by inviting participants to illustrate the complex, lived experience of Islam in Pakistan, the identity component of religious practices that do not fit in the dominant norm, and their inscription in local political and ethnic relations. Papers would ideally use first-hand observation and/or analyses of cultural productions to examine circumscribed case studies.

    Conference, symposium - Modern

    French-Iraqi scientific meeting

    La vocation de l’Institut français du Proche-Orient est non seulement d’encourager la recherche française dans la région, mais aussi de jouer un rôle actif dans le développement des relations entre communautés universitaires française et proche-orientale. C’est dans cet esprit qu’a été organisée cette rencontre franco-irakienne à Beyrouth, en vue de renouer les liens ébranlés par la situation de guerre en Irak.
