  Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile

  PhD position in Asian Studies

  This Ph.D. position is funded by a MIS (Mandat d’Impulsion Scientifique/ Incentive Grant for Scientific Research) project: “Bearing Witness to Traumatic Experiences: Cultural Productions of Uyghurs in Exile”. Uyghurs are a Turkic-speaking people based at the border of Central Asia and the north-western part of China. Massive internments and arrests of hundreds of thousands of Uyghurs have taken place in the region since 2016, including the Uyghur elite. In these conditions, centers of the cultural production of the Uyghurs have shifted from their native land to the diaspora spread across the world. This project looks at Uyghur diasporic cultural production that aims at drawing the world’s attention and bearing witness to the various abuses perpetrated at home by the Chinese government. The whole project analyses selected poems, short films, video clips, and dance and music performances to tackle new transmedial forms of testimonies in the Uyghur case.

  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 and narrative 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 conference aims at addressing the complex relation between Arab cinemas and international film support funds.

  Extrême-Orient : collectionneurs et collections d'aujourd'hui

  L’objet de ce colloque sera d’étudier les collections privées ou publiques liées à l’Extrême-Orient dans une perspective contemporaine. Si notre ambition sera d’accorder une large place à l’art contemporain, les collections envisagées pourront également rassembler des objets plus anciens, et pas seulement des objets d’art. Le terme « Extrême-Orient » sera ici compris dans un sens large, incluant les îles de l’Asie de l’Est et du Sud-Est. L’approche sera interdisciplinaire, mêlant histoire de l’art, esthétique, anthropologie, sociologie, économie ou même politique.
