  Radical Action, Radical Subject: Roots, Representations, Symbols and Creations

  Ce colloque vise à repenser et à mettre en relief deux concepts, à savoir l’action radicale et le sujet radical, qui sont liés aux formes de protestation et à la mobilisation de l’espace où se négocient et se créent du rassemblement ainsi que de l’opposition. Plus précisément, ils révèlent une ampleur qui mérite réflexions et échanges en termes de récit, de poétique et de symbolique. Ainsi, que peut nous révéler l’évolution à la fois diachronique et synchronique des liens qui se tissent entre littérature et radicalisme ? Est-ce que le radicalisme rime nécessairement avec l’engagement politique, l’affichage d’une tendance révolutionnaire marquée, ou est-ce que des marques textuelles, des mouvements, des courants, intrinsèquement littéraires, ne peuvent pas être considérés comme radicaux en soi ?

  Gardens of justice

  Critical legal conference 2012

  The theme for this year’s Critical Legal Conference is “Gardens of Justice”. Although the theme may be interpreted in different ways, it suggests thinking about law and justice as a physical as well as a social environment, created for specific purposes, at a certain distance from society and yet as an integral part of it. The theme also invites you to think about justice as a concrete metaphor rather than an abstract concept. Just like any ordinary garden, legal institutions affect both people working in them and people who are just passing through their arrangements.

  1st International Conference on Anthropology and Urban Conflict

  Desertions, Counter-movements, and Forced Mobilizations in the Contemporary City

  The aim of this conference is to make an inventory and to analyze, from different ethnographic approaches, those often invisible phenomena of daily or extraordinary disobedience designed for, or inspired by, a rejection of spatial, economic, political, and social order. However, in order to identify them as mechanisms aimed at denouncing a particular order, we must approach these by looking at concepts that synthesize at once the processes that impose a homogeneous order as well as the practices that challenge it.

  The Falklands War 30 years on

  Conflict, conflict resolution, political change, representations

  En 1982, un gouvernement dictatorial aux abois lance une opération militaire d’envergure pour occuper les Iles Malouines (Falkland) qui, depuis 1833, étaient en possession du Royaume-Uni. Ce conflit inédit dans l’Atlantique Sud (l’Argentine avait déclaré sa neutralité pendant la première et la deuxième guerres mondiales) durera plus de deux mois (du 2 avril au 14 juin) jusqu’à la capitulation des forces argentines devant une contre-offensive du Royaume-Uni qui a surpris tous ceux qui croyaient qu’il n’avait plus la capacité ni la volonté nécessaires pour mener à bien une telle intervention à presque 13 000 km de distance.

  Rethinking urban inclusion. Spaces, mobilizations, interventions

  The Conference aims to understand and ultimately rethink social inclusion at the urban scale, as the product of broader dynamics and the interaction of different actors and languages. It will focus on emerging modes of contesting the centrality of the state and market pervasiveness, new varieties of counter-hegemonic positions and projects, and alternative visions of urban democracy and justice that inform bottom-up and participatory approaches to urban inclusion. By mixing academic with social movement and civil society “expertise,” experiences of both the global North and the global South, and the languages of social science and policy with those of the humanities and art, the Conference aims to contribute to an “ecology of knowledges” that gives visibility to new forms of collective action and community experimentation reshaping contemporary cities in different contexts.

  What about History then? Assessment of the role of history in Indian Studies

  L’objectif de cette journée d’études est de reprendre la réflexion autour de la place de l’histoire dans les études indiennes et de ses relations avec les autres disciplines au sein d’un laboratoire d’aires culturelles tel que le CEIAS. C’est là une question qui a déjà occupé plusieurs historiens du Centre par le passé mais qui est loin d’être épuisée et reste d’actualité au vu de la place marginale que l’histoire continue d’occuper au sein des études indiennes en France et, parallèlement, de la faible visibilité de l’Inde dans la recherche et l’enseignement de l’histoire. Il s’agira de dresser un bilan des pistes explorées par les historiens actifs au CEIAS depuis sa fondation et du dialogue noué tant avec d’autres spécialistes de l’Inde qu’avec des historiens travaillant sur d’autres « terrains », mais aussi de réfléchir ensemble sur les perspectives ouvertes par l’évolution actuelle de la discipline historique en France qui semble enfin sortir de son traditionnel européocentrisme.
