Slovakia in Europe in the past century
L’objectif de ce cycle de conférences est de croiser les perspectives de différentes disciplines des sciences humaines et sociales sur le cheminement de la Slovaquie au cours de ce dernier siècle. Il s’agit en particulier de montrer en quoi l’expérience slovaque, aux côtés de celles d’autres pays de l’Europe centrale, mais souvent moins connue, enrichit la compréhension de phénomènes qui ont marqué le siècle : déplacements de frontières, disparitions et apparitions d’États, persistance ou disparition de communautés non slaves (Hongrois, Allemands, Juifs, Ukrainiens, Roms, etc.), compétition de modèles de société et circulation d’imaginaires et de styles artistiques. Ces phénomènes se sont accompagnés d’une modernisation accélérée du pays et d’un mouvement inédit dans sa construction en État-nation.

Internet, Digital Data, Power and Rivalries in the Post-Soviet Area
For more than a decade, Internet and digital networks have played a central part in most of the contemporary conflicts. Whether it deals with their storage, circulation, production or their manipulation (both literally and figuratively), digital data are being mobilized in a wide array of geopolitical crises and rivalries. Moreover, more numerous and diverse strategies are being developed to control these data as the ongoing datafication of society widens its reach into new areas of human activity. Computer piracy, the destruction of infrastructures and the manipulation of information have become tools in the hands of a growing number of actors willing to confirm or reverse a given geopolitical power relationship. The post-Soviet area constitutes a fertile ground for the deployment of such tactics and strategies of control. Disrupting the circulation networks, or the treatment and storage infrastructures of digital data, has progressively become a full-fledged strategy in the conflicts and rivalries that permeate this post-imperial space. As such, the struggle between several “imagined communities” (Anderson), grounded on diverging representations of memory, identity, and language, constitutes a powerful catalyzer of digital conflictuality.

The will for independence and its expression across territories
Le thème de l’édition 2018 des journées géopolitiques de Reims (JGR), les « Sécessions », s’inscrit dans l’actualité. Le référendum écossais en 2014 et la situation en Catalogne fin 2017 soulignent l’importance du sujet dans l’Europe contemporaine (mais aussi en France où la nouvelle Calédonie votera une dizaine de jours avant la tenu de ces JGR). Hors d’Europe, la question des sécessions est sensible au Kurdistan (référendum de septembre 2017), sur l’île de Bougainville, à Mindanao, etc. Ainsi, la volonté d’indépendance s’exprime dans de nombreux territoires. Les intervenants souligneront ce paradoxe dans un contexte de mondialisation.

Border Textures: Interwoven Practices and Discursive Fabrics of Borders
2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
In view of the current political developments in Europe, the scientific study of borders has increasingly gained importance. Cultural Studies has reacted to these developments by generating complex and more and more detailed theories and tools for describing and analyzing border phenomena. Cultural border studies champion approaches which do not examine spatial, material, temporal or cultural aspects in isolation but investigate their intersectional and performative interactions. This panel provides a space for explorative investigation of potential approaches for cultural border studies, focusing on interactions between material and immaterial manifestations of the border.

2nd World Conference of the Association for Borderlands Studies - Panel
The societal events of the last decade have challenged Border Studies more than ever before. This can be seen not only in the field’s growing institutionalisation but also in its developments in research: these include the relativization of geopolitical perspectives by cultural studies approaches, the spatialisation of the border concept (e.g. zone, third space, exter/internalisation etc.), the decentralisation of the border in favour of processes (e.g. b/ordering, othering etc.), the pluralisation of the border concept (e.g. walls, differences, (dis)continuities, demarcations) or the complexification of the border (e.g. scapes, textures). The panel is treating these developments and other turns as an opportunity for a long-overdue self-examination, which in the light of the resurgence of borders seems necessary from both a societal and scientific perspective.

Political corruption scandals and civil society in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
Medias, whistleblowers and civic organisations
Les scandales de corruption marquent par leur fréquence la vie politique des nouvelles démocraties en Europe centrale et orientale et représentent une caractéristique importante des scènes médiatiques et politiques. La révélation et la dénonciation de très nombreuses « affaires » ou des « gates », comme le langage populaire et journalistique les dénomme souvent, déferlent régulièrement dans l’espace public et attisent les attitudes contestataires et protestataires vis-à-vis des institutions, des élites et des partis politiques. Cependant, la question se pose sur les spécificités des scandales de corruption dans les nouvelles démocraties, pendant ou après des processus de transitions démocratiques. Quel est le rôle des dénonciations dans ces contextes spécifiques ? Que révèlent ces phénomènes des évolutions des sociétés, des valeurs et des régimes politiques ?

Multiculturalism, interculturality, complex identities: the example of Caucasia
The aim of the symposium is to highlight the treasures of an area that is culturally and historically a kind of multicultural island: the Caucasus. Nizami Ganjavi, for example, is a poet of multiculturalism, and he owes his fame both to his lyricism and to his ethics of peaceful coexistence. The Book of Dede Korkut is another interesting example: it is the result of a meeting of cultures, and it inspired many multicultural artists (poets, dramatists, film-makers). Caucasian multiculturalism is indeed still alive (among the numerous works inspired by the Oghuz epic, one can think of Nabi Hazri’s Dreams and legends, of Altaï Mamedov’s Deli Domrul or of Anar’s Dede Gorgut). The symposium will focus on the relationship between multiculturalism, interculturality and intermediality, as well as on the role of multiculturalism in the field of pedagogy.

Repetition/s: Performance and Philosophy in Ljubljana
Contemporary developments in the increasingly intertwined fields of philosophy and performance call for a renewed inquiry into the question of repetition. With its unique critique of ideology arising from a synthesis of German Idealism and Lacanian psychoanalysis, the Ljubljana School (Dolar, Zupančič, Žižek et al.) continues to furnish important theorisations of repetition and performance as they pertain to subjectivity and the political. One of the primary aims of “Repetition/s” will be to investigate and develop the usefulness of the Ljubljana School’s theorisations for the emerging field of Performance Philosophy.

The making of cultural policies
Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization
This workshop takes place in the framework of the research project “Trans-Acting Matters: Areas and Eras of a (Post-)Ottoman Globalization”. It aims to analyse the making of cultural policies and actions in Turkey and the post-ottoman spaces. We wish to question the ways in which the circulations participate in the construction of cultural policies today as well as to rethink the earlier cultural policies and actions from the late Ottoman Empire onwards. The workshop attempts to question the co-production of cultural policies, of their spaces and territories, as well as the plurality of the conceptions of culture carried by cultural policies. The workshop will focus on the phenomena of hybridity, of connections, and associations of various actors which co-produce original forms of cultural policies.

Conflicts and recompositions
Le colloque international « L'espace politique ukrainien : Conflits et recompositions » vise à étudier les conflits et les recompositions qui ont lieu en Ukraine contemporaine dans leur complexité. Une perspective interdisciplinaire adoptée permet de faire dialoguer les approches politique, historique, économique, linguistique, sociologique et communicationnelle autour des concepts d’identité, d’espace public et d’équilibre géopolitique régional.

Borders and border spaces: a subject for geographical and geopolitcal study
Portant sur le programme au concours d'entrée de l'ENS-Lyon de 2013 (« Frontières et espaces frontaliers »), cette journée d'études interrogera des frontières interétatiques (notamment au prisme des exemples balkaniques et israélo-palestinien), entre construction, reconstruction, revendication, contestation. Elle abordera également la question de la représentation des frontières et espaces frontaliers à travers l'art et la cartographie (elle est également en lien avec la question « Représenter l'espace » au concours de l'agrégation de géographie).

Phantom Borders in the Political Behaviour and Electoral Geography in East Central Europe
We understand phantom borders as political borders, which politically/legally do not exist anymore but seem to appear in different forms and modes of social action and practices today, as for example voting as one part of political behaviour. The conference deals with historical borders, made visible in discourses and maps concerning political behavior, as for instance in electoral maps. Our aim is to challenge the historical interrelation of current political behaviour, the involvement of geopolitical images, internal as external governance contexts and transnational networks for (re)constructing historical borders as phantom borders. We are interested in case studies especially about East Central Europe, but also in studies from all over the world combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, addressing the main questions of the conference. Case studies may address different levels and scales from local to transnational. -

Metropolises' image and experience
La ville, et la métropole en particulier, ont suscité une littérature qui a contribué à fonder leur mythe, forger leur image, à relater les expériences vécues en leur sein. Notre journée d’étude vise à mieux comprendre la relation entre l’image et l’expérience de la ville, et s’appuiera sur des textes allant de l’essai documenté sur une ville à la fiction romanesque en passant par le récit de voyage et la promenade. -

To be or not to be Balkanic: the Historical Peripeteia of a Cultural Zone
Civilisations 60 (2)
Dans ce numéro, nous voudrions regrouper différentes recherches qui contribuent à présenter une argumentation précise, à partir d'études de terrains qui s'articulent autour de cette interrogation sur l'existence et la persistance d'une unité « balkanique », au-delà de sa diversité et des récentes influences subies. -

Des discussions de comptoir aux débats d’intellectuels, les cafés ont toujours été, en France, un lieu privilégié pour échanger des idées. En créant les Cafés géopolitiques, nous souhaitons profiter de l’atmosphère détendue d’un café pour permettre la rencontre du public avec des spécialistes (universitaires, politiques, journalistes...) autour de questions géopolitiques en rapport avec les débats ou les conflits actuels.
