    The Nomadism of Social Anthropologists

    CFP Midterm Conference of the Europeanist Network of the European Association of Social Anthropologists

    While anthropologists of the past decades have devoted increasing attention both to questions of reflexivity and to people “on the move” such as migrants, relatively little attention has focused on the geographical and cultural movement of social anthropologists themselves, especially since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Even if there is growing interest in non-hegemonic anthropologies by scholars who have often lived in several countries  and recent work on “the ethnographic self as resource” argues that anthropologists’ personal experiences provide potentially insightful ethnographic data that can enrich their scientific analysis, the consequences of past and present anthropologists’ nomadism on their own research – including their training, career and grant opportunities – have not been thoroughly analysed. It is common knowledge that today, in Europe and beyond, being “on the move” has increasingly become a part of many anthropologists’ lives.

    Tradition and innovation in the architectural theory and practice

    This colloquium aims to understand the impact of Alberti’s treatise on classical and modern architecture using either intelligent computational environment or cultural approaches related to theoretical or philosophical methodologies. Directly or indirectly Alberti’s ideas and attitude crossed the last five centuries transforming the architectural theory and practice. The question now is how and where. Digital Alberti International Conference will be held in Coimbra in parallel with the 2nd International Congress “The foundations of modern rationalities: around Alberti and hmanism” and the exhibition “Digital Alberti: Tradition and innovation in the architectural theory and practice in Portugal” that presents the results of the research project with the same title.

    Studying communities in social sciences

    Ressources, regulations and inequalities

    Ces journées d'étude souhaitent étayer l'étude des dynamiques communautaires par les sciences sociales et en améliorer le caractère systématique et comparé. Trois axes analytiques sont proposés : ressources, régulations et inégalités. Quelles ressources et inégalités sont transmises à travers les relations communautaires et par l'intermédiaire de quels mécanismes ? Comment participent-elles la régulation externe et interne à la formation des dynamiques communautaires ? De quelles manières ces dynamiques opèrent-elles un “effet communautaire” ? Sont cherchés aussi bien des travaux qui empruntent des méthodes quantitatives pour mesurer des effets de communauté que des travaux plus ethnographiques qui cherchent à étudier les mécanismes de tels effets dans un contexte spécifique. Les journées auront lieu le 19 et 20 juin 2013 à Paris (EHESS).

    Music, poetry and the brain

    It is indisputable that, with his operas, Wagner introduced profound new insights relating music, language (poetry) and emotion. It is widely consensual that with his dramas, Wagner intended to explore human mind and behaviour with the power of music. In fact, never before was music so systematically used as a tool for describing and interpreting facts, events, beliefs, desires, intentions, memories and emotions. In the last decades, there has been much advance in the understanding of the cerebral basis of music and its relationships with brain mechanisms of language, cognition and emotion. In short, music has also been shown to be a powerful pathway to understand human mind and behaviour with the modern tools of neuroscience. Therefore, Wagner’s bicentennial could be an excellent opportunity for a meeting, summarizing the recent advances of brain research on these themes.

    Alternative Urban Development Policies

    Journal of urban studies Métropoles

    Dans un contexte de montée en puissance globale du néolibéralisme, de nombreux travaux soulignent l'existence de dynamiques de standardisation des stratégies urbaines. Confrontés à une incertitude croissante, les acteurs de la gestion urbaine se tournent de plus en plus fréquemment vers des « modèles » et « bonnes pratiques » dont l’efficacité est rarement débattue. Pourtant, la généralisation des stratégies mainstream ne doit pas occulter l’existence de politiques alternatives de développement urbain. Ce dossier de Métropoles prend justement le pari que le déclin de l’échelle étatique dans la régulation de l’économie et de la société ouvre un espace pour l’émergence de stratégies alternatives de développement à l’échelle des villes. Il cherche à regrouper des articles consacrés aux villes du Nord comme du Sud et qui se fixent pour objectifs de décrire, d’analyser, d’évaluer et/ou de théoriser ces politiques alternatives de développement urbain.

    Industrial hazards and accidents (late 17th – late 19th century)

    Technological accidents question our industrial society; they are an inherent part of the “risk society” concept that scientists, sociologists, geographers and anthropologists have popularised since the eighties. However, in order to step back and take a longer term view, historicization of the concept is necessary. Although historians have also begun to examine this question, they have focused primarily on the most contemporary period during which spectacular accidents have occurred and have sometimes led to disasters. But industrial (or artisanal or mining) accidents occurred throughout the earlier economic development process in Europe. They went hand in hand with the emergence of the industrial society that they helped to create.

    ICTE in primary schools

    ICTE conference

    L'école primaire est un contexte de scolarisation de TICE, à la fois facilitateur et fortement contraint. L'enjeu ne se situe pas seulement du côté de l'instrumentation de domaines disciplinaires, mais dans le fait que l'enseignant qui conduit sa classe de manière transversale et polyvalente, fait face à une extrême diversité des potentialités d'utilisations pédagogiques. Il parait donc nécessaire de proposer une reformulation des cadres et des objectifs relatifs à l'utilisation des TICE et des ressources associées, dans le contexte de l'école primaire. La réflexion croisée sur les contraintes, les postures, les considérations didactiques, les démarches et le moyens pédagogiques à mettre en oeuvre constitue un préalable pour soutenir une telle perspective. L'intégration des TICE à l'école primaire ne passera que par une prise en compte de l'ensemble des contraintes matérielles, humaines et idéologiques qui la structurent.

    Touch in the cinema and digital media

    Pour son neuvième numéro, Entrelacs, revue scientifique éditée par l’École supérieure d’audio-visuel et le Laboratoire de recherche en audiovisuel de l’université de Toulouse 2 (L.A.R.A.), propose de mettre en œuvre une réflexion esthétique sur le toucher au cinéma et dans les médias numériques. Comment les différentes sphères de la création cinématographique (celles des cinéastes, des techniciens, des acteurs et des spectateurs) sont-elles marquées par l'expérience du toucher ? Quant aux « nouveaux » médias, comment explorent-ils à leur façon les possibilités tactiles de l'audio-visuel ?

    Communications and media in the USSR and Eastern Europe

    Technologies, politics, cultures, social practices

    In the social sciences, communications are considered fundamental to the constitution of any society. The technologies and infrastructures for communications are also social institutions in their own right, with their own specific historical trajectories.  With this in mind, we can assume that political regimes that abuse their control of communications engender social atomization, the rupture or weakening of social ties, in that attempts to maintain these ties via communications media may be met with repression.  At the same time, however, it is social relations — “useful” connections – that allow individuals to engage in mutual assistance and to exchange goods and services in the economies of shortage typical of many authoritarian regimes.
