  Experts and Expertise in the League of Nations Mandates

  Figures, Fields and Tools

  Our vantage point is to consider the growing in importance of expertise during the twentieth century within the management of the colonial world and hence to study the emergence of the international sphere as a level of decision making. The purpose of this conference is to investigate the influence of early international agendas, advanced across the colonial world by experts operating in the orbit of international organizations. The investigation should also focus on the procedures and framework of international recognition of expertise at the intersection of the colonial and the international spheres. A first line of enquiry tackles the relations between the epistemologies that underpinned scientific knowledge in the colony and the metropolis. Another one looks into the sites of production of Mandatory expertise. Finally, we want to investigate the explicitly evolutionary conceptual framework for the mandates and its influence on the work of experts. We invite contributions dealing with the figure of the expert, whether official or not, and the various fields and tools of Mandatory expertise. Part and parcel of our reflexion is also a study of the limits and scope of expertise.

  Savants, artistes, médiateurs : approches et connaissances du Maghreb

  Que sait-on du Maghreb en Europe aujourd’hui ? À partir d’une question très générale sur la connaissance empirique, lettrée et sensible qu’ont les Européens du Maghreb, sur sa place dans les imaginaires contemporains et sur la situation de la recherche savante qui le prend comme objet – ou comme cadre d’étude, on cherchera à comprendre les modes et les processus de constitution de ces savoirs et les œuvres qui les ont fixés.
