Histories of families, alliances, filiation and narratives of the self in South-East Asia
The French Association into South-East Asia research (Afrase)
Les rencontres de l'Association française pour la recherche sur l’Asie du Sud-Est (Afrase) 2020 proposent de partager des histoires de familles en Asie du Sud-Est et de s'interroger sur la relation entre récits de soi et récits de parenté, Quelle que soit la nature de la famille alors considérée, famille réelle, étendue, reconstruite ou imaginée. Cet appel concerne tous ceux qui voudraient partager une réflexion sur ces récits, particulièrement sur les formes de ces histoires, leur conservation et leur transmission. Tous les supports de ces récits de famille sont mis à l'honneur, qu'il s'agisse de récits oraux, de textes, de dessins, de photographies ou de films. La question du dialogue au sein des groupes de parenté en Asie du Sud-Est et entre l'Asie et le monde est mise à l'honneur à travers les thèmes de la communication, notamment dans le cadre des réseaux sociaux.

Call for papers - Political studies
What are the normative assumptions and solutions proposed to develop morally right or wrong compromise typologies? Can we develop a universal ethics of compromise or does compromise vary depending on the socio-cultural history of a country? To what extent is culture relevant in shaping types and norms of compromise? The conference aims, firstly, to understand how to distinguish a compromise from a compromise of principles; what constitutes an ethical or fair compromise? Second, it will analyze if practices of compromise vary from one country to another. To do so, different types of compromise will be explored through geopolitical, philosophical, historical approaches, with a particular focus on Japan and Taiwan. This symposium will examine theoretical issues and practices associated with compromise, by adopting a global perspective. It will bring together contributions from European, American and Asian researchers.

Sinophone musical worlds and their publics
China Perspectives / Perspectives Chinoises
Recent success of Chinese reality television singing competitions broadcasted on national television or streamed directly on the internet, has shown the extent of musical genres represented in the Chinese world, from pop to folk via hip-hop or rock ’n’ roll. The popularity of new musical styles up to then considered as deviant as well as the recent attempts of the State to intervene directly on musical contents, tend to blur the distinctions between “mainstream” (流行) music, “popular” (民间) music as non-official, “underground” (地下) music or even “alternative” (另类) music. This call for papers aims at promoting a better understanding of the transformations of Chinese “musical worlds”, in the sense that Becker gave to “art worlds”, which stresses the role of cooperation and interactions between the different actors of the artistic sphere.

Place-based approaches to emerging architectural, urban design and planning challenges in Africa and the Global South
The fast paced urbanization and mushrooming of metropolitan areas in Africa and the Global South especially in connection with rights and access to basic services, have attracted much attention in the last decades from the public, local experts, decision-makers and international stakeholders. In parallel, other built environments such as emerging small towns, shrinking cities and rural areas are now experiencing important pressures and changes, and are increasingly coming under the spotlight.

What role does dessalination have in adapting to climatic change?
La Société hydrotechnique de France (SHF), l’Association française pour l’eau l’irrigation et le drainage (AFEID), l’Académie de l’eau poursuivent leurs travaux sur les questions liées aux futures tensions sur la gestion de l’eau, en lien avec le changement climatique et les évolutions sur l’usage de l’eau d’ici 2050. Ces travaux soulignent l’importance de considérer la palette complète des outils d’adaptation, organisationnels et techniques, tant pour l’usage économe de l’eau que pour la sécurisation de la ressource. Le dessalement fait partie de cette palette d’outils et fera l’objet de ce colloque.

Drinking and eating in Asian literatures
Les habitudes et les pratiques culinaires sont, en effet, autant les marqueurs d'une société et de son état de développement, que ceux de sa culture, des interdits qu'elle s'impose, des rites et des coutumes qui sont les siens. Pour son cinquième numéro, Impressions d'Extrême-Orient se penche sur le thème de la nourriture et la manière dont les littératures d'Asie en rendent compte.

Gender, migration and citizenship
Revisiting Southeast Asian international marriages
In the current context of economic crisis, international marriages and family-related migrations are becoming increasingly restricted in many developed countries in the Global North, whereas countries in the Global South are adopting measures to protect local women from the trafficking and sexual exploitation that may arise from international marriages. These regulations of the “marriage market” pose challenges to single men and women looking for partners of a different nationality and for bi-national couples pursuing a family-formation project. For those who successfully immigrated in the country of their partner, social incorporation and cohesive family life are the next challenges in line. To shed light on the multi-faceted life of marriage migrants in the current age of economic crisis and increased border controls, this edited volume will take a closer look at Southeast Asian international marriages. It will also attempt to capture the dynamics of the interaction among macro-, meso- and microsociological factors that shape migrants’ trajectories, while taking into account their subjectivities and agency.

Tourism and the sea, a "global issue"
2nd Sino-European tourism conference
Pour faire suite au Premier colloque sino-européen du tourisme intitulé La troisième révolution touristique organisé en juin 2011, les universités de Ningbo (Chine) et d’Angers (France) renouvellent l’expérience en proposant une seconde manifestation autour de « la mer » comme objet privilégié de réflexions et d’échanges. La pratique recréative de la mer devient aujourd’hui un phénomène mondial avec un renouvellement incessant des pratiques et avec l’émergence des mégapoles touristiques comme Dubaï, des lieux comme l’île de Hainan en Chine, l’archipel des Maldives ou encore le Nord-Est du Brésil. Si les impacts économiques, sociaux et médiatiques des politiques touristiques et leurs effets sur les aménagements des territoires ont déjà fait l’objet de nombreuses recherches et publications en sciences économiques et sociales (sociologie et géographie en particulier), doit-on y voir une relation mécanique, un allant de soi, entre mer et tourisme telle une « ressource » invariablement destinée à accueillir des pratiques touristiques ?

Southeast Asian Cities’ Expressions of Modernity in Their Relation to Local Heritages
EuroSEAS Conference, Group 6: Popular culture, museums and heritage
The panel will explore spatial configurations created in these contexts, questioning the forms of modernity expressed by architectural and urban projects. With the purpose of challenging a general assumption according to which Asian and especially Southeast Asian urban landscapes affected by recent developments tend toward irremediable standardization and “Westernization”, the panel will explore local expressions of modernity through the examination of projects pointing to a reinterpretation of forms of local heritages.
