Narrative forms and co-production in Arab cinemas
Norms, constraints, and margins of freedom
Film industry in the Arab world remains generally underdeveloped. Arab countries still depend on international film support funds, mainly European. This puts Arab producers, scriptwriters and filmmakers in a subaltern position in relation to European producers and funders, whose expectations in terms of content as well as narrative and aesthetic forms end up strongly impacting the film creation process. On the other hand, margins of freedom and resistance can be created within this system. This edition of Regards aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

Valentine de Saint-Point and the avant-garde
Art, dance, performance and politics - between Europe and Asia
Ce premier colloque international consacré à Valentine de Saint-Point vise à explorer l'ensemble des chemins empruntés par cette femme complexe, au parcours biographique enchevêtré, à l'œuvre foisonnante. Car si Valentine de Saint-Point a gagné, désormais, une certaine reconnaissance critique, les réalisations de cette expérimentatrice hors du commun restent encore peu étudiées dans le détail, et paraissent presque éclipsées par son personnage : la poétesse semble avoir été victime de son existence trop encombrante, de sa trajectoire trop romanesque, de ses turpitudes trop omniprésentes. Comme si le pittoresque de sa vie amenait à oublier ses créations ou ses textes, ou à ne les considérer que de loin, comme des documents secondaires d'une aventure personnelle construite hors des sentiers battus.

10th Annual and International Colloquium of the Society of Activities and Research on the Indian World
In the postcolonial theoretical framework, the study of heritage and ruptures is a rather familiar paradigm. But it is not a depleted paradigm. Given the millennial history of the Indian subcontinent and the plurality of its culture, the way its languages, literatures and arts appropriate the past, grasp the present and envisage the future remains a relevant object for inquiry. From the crossroads of diachronicity and synchronicity, tradition and modernity, singularity and solidarity, here and elsewhere, repetition and reinvention, the 10th annual SARI conference to be held on the 28th and 29th May 2015 at the Université Paris Ouest Nanterre la Défense and on the 30th May 2015 at the université Paris 13, Sorbonne Paris Cité, will be devoted to the exploration of this topic from an inter and pluridisciplinary perspective.

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.
