  Literature and Law

  The idea of academic "discipline" has a long and venerable history, reaching back to the Renaissance and beyond. But the term "discipline" with the meaning of "branch of knowledge" or "department" only started to come into common use from about 1850. Nowadays interdisciplinary studies in law and literature extend well beyond the limits of universities and law colleges. In most English-speaking countries lawyers and judges have frequent recourse to literature in their pleadings or judgments. The theoretical phenomena described by Cardozo, Posner or White have now given rise to practical applications by academics, lawyers and judges alike.

  Thinking the present with Max Weber

  Weber study group of the British Sociological Association

  The recent publication in English of Weber’s complete writings (and speeches) on universities has thrown new light on his involvement in university politics and his concern with the "type of scholar" that universities were producing: Weber imagines a university system in which researchers are becoming workers "separated from their means of production", and academics "people of the trade".  Inspired by Weber’s observations, this seminar-workshop will reflect on the current state of the university and its attendant practices: what is the meaning of scholarly work when the scholar is faced by a series of sometimes contradictory conditions and imperatives? What is the meaning of the new regime under which universities are put to work, with its "quality" indicators and debt-incurring devices, in terms of the pedagogy practised, the kinds of reason relied on, as well as the type of human being presupposed by such regime and resulting from its implementation? What kind of scholar, what kind of student, what type of human being, is produced by these practices?

  Bourses de la Chambre des députés de Berlin

  La Chambre des députés de Berlin a créé en 1994 une Fondation d’études et un programme de bourses en guise de remerciement tardif aux anciennes puissances alliées. Puissances d’occupation ou de protection, elles ont marqué notre ville, sa vie culturelle et politique, pendant près de cinquante ans après la fin du second conflit mondial. La Chambre des députés de Berlin a chargé sa Fondation d'études de maintenir, d’approfondir et d’étendre les nombreux contacts et liens d’amitié avec la France, la Grande-Bretagne et les USA, ainsi qu’avec les États successeurs de l'Union soviétique. La Fondation d’études soutient de jeunes chercheurs originaires de ces pays souhaitant réaliser un projet de recherche portant sur Berlin, et plus généralement sur l’Allemagne.

  Gender and the Periphery. Grammatical and social Gender from the Margins

  This call for chapters aims to bring together studies on the morpho-syntactical phenomenon of gender through its relationships with social gender, focusing on its periphery. This periphery can be understood either in the sense that the studied languages are so called minority languages and thus less described, or because this morpho-syntactical dimension has not received the interest it deserves in the languages studied. Propositions including a focus on the peripheral uses of gender to open the horizon of possibilities concerning gender configurations are also welcome, as far as they are tied to a linguistic periphery.

  Identity and Paradox

  On the one hand, the concept of identity naturally enters the discussion concerning many types of paradox that are not, primarily, about identity itself. On the other hand, there are a number of paradoxes considered as paradoxes of identity in which identity is apparently the concept generating the paradox (e.g., the ship of Theseus paradox, Chrysippus's paradox, the paradox of change, the paradox of constitution). The goal of the workshop is to discuss philosophical, logical and linguistic aspects of paradoxes in which the notion of identity plays a role. More specifically, we wish to examine whether the so-called paradoxes of identity really are paradoxes of identity in the sense that their paradoxicality is primarily connected to the concept of identity; and we want to investigate the role of concepts of identity in connection with the formulation/solution of other types of paradoxes.

  User Behavior in Ubiquitous Online Environments

  As ubiquitous online applications are increasingly used in various contexts, new models of user activity emerge. The behavior of users is changed in unprecedented ways that are yet to be explored, as our knowledge with respect to the ubiquitous user is still limited. There is an emerging need for researchers and practitioners to fully understand the potential of ubiquitous environments for successful commercial, educational, entertainment, or any other type of activity and the changes they impose to existing to user behavior.

  Les villes morcelées : quelles approches alternatives pour la rénovation urbaine ?

  Tackling Urban Fragmentation. Alternative Approaches to Urban Regeneration

  This one day conference invites researchers working on initiatives aiming at introducing innovative urban regeneration projects in cities across Europe, particularly cities affected by radical re-modellings over the last twenty years. We are looking for instances of administrative traditions being challenged towards exploratory strategies by lobbying groups of architects/designers, or local communities, or even local governments. This conference wants to explore if and how the expertise of uses from inhabitants and field workers in urban regeneration processes may be integrated to learn about possible ways of challenging the emerging patterns of urban fragmentation.

  Democracy Promotion and Nation Building in United States Foreign Policy

  The U.S. Model Reconsidered, From the Post-Cold War Balkans to the Arab Revolts

  Le  German Marshall Fund of the United States-France et l’Université Sorbonne Nouvelle – Paris 3, sont heureux de vous convier au colloque international « Democracy Promotion and Nation Building in United States Foreign Policy. The U.S. Model Reconsidered, From the Post-Cold War Balkans to the Arab Revolts », les jeudi 18 et vendredi 19 octobre 2012, à France-Amériques (9 avenue Franklin D. Roosevelt, Paris 8e).    Cette conférence sera l’occasion d’examiner les évolutions du débat sur la ‘Democracy Promotion’ de la fin de la Guerre froide jusqu’à l’administration Obama, ainsi que de comprendre  la manière dont les  évènements récents en Afrique du Nord et au Moyen-Orient ont refaçonné les concepts et la pratique de la  ‘Democracy Promotion’. Les réponses que peuvent apporter le partenariat transatlantique à ces défis seront tout particulièrement examinées.  Les intervenants présenteront et analyseront les grandes problématiques du sujet telles que l’adaptation de la culture stratégique américaine aux transformations  du contexte international, la capacité du modèle de la démocratie américaine à inspirer ou à façonner les transitions vers la démocratie, s’interrogeront sur le rôle de l’armée américaine comme un vecteur  de ‘Democracy Promotion’ sur certains théâtres d’opérations, ainsi que sur les nouveaux instruments de politique étrangère employés par l’administration américaine pour promouvoir la démocratie. Les panels discuteront ainsi de l’avenir de la pratique américaine de la ‘Democracy Promotion’ et privilégieront une approche comparative en consacrant un panel à la conception et la pratique européennes de la ‘Democracy Promotion’ ainsi qu’à l’émergence d’autres modèles de démocratie, dans un contexte où le modèle américain se trouve de plus en plus contesté.   La conférence réunira des experts et chercheurs américains et européens reconnus. Toutes les sessions se déroulent en anglais.

  Variation et variabilité dans les sciences du langage : analyser, mesurer, contextualiser

  JéTou 2013, colloque international jeunes chercheurs en sciences du langage

  Les doctorants des laboratoires de sciences du langage de Toulouse organisent la quatrième édition des JéTou (Journées d'études toulousaines). Ces journées ont pour but de rassembler des doctorants et jeunes docteurs (jusqu'à trois ans après la soutenance de la thèse) issus des différentes disciplines des sciences du langage autour d'une thématique ouverte et transversale. Cette édition sera consacrée à une réflexion sur le thème : « Variation et variabilité dans les Sciences du Langage : analyser, mesurer, contextualiser ». Les notions de variation et de variabilité sont au cœur de nombreux domaines liés aux sciences du langage. Le linguiste peut aussi bien être amené à les interroger en tant qu'objet de recherche qu'au travers des problèmes méthodologiques qu'elles posent.

  Anthropology, Culture and Cognition. Freud, a century after Totem and Taboo

  Although hardly avoiding intense criticism by anthropologists such as Boas and Malinowski, Freud’s theories did, however, have a profound impact upon anthropology, receiving an enthusiastic reception among Culture and Personality theorists during the middle decades of the 20th century. Leading anthropologists of this trend relied on Freud’s contributions to develop approaches based on the relationship between culture and personality, expanding their views on the importance of culture in personality formation, on the constitution of culture patterns and on the formulation of national character. One hundred years after the publication of Totem and Taboo (1913), this two-day seminar seeks to address the influence of Freud’s legacy in contemporary anthropological thought. It also aims to explore the new interface between the two disciplines, namely through the recent work produced on kinship and on the cognitive approaches to the study of religion.

  The Face of the Dead and the Early Christian World

  The theme chosen for this meeting is the study of funerary images in the transition between late antiquity and the Middle Ages. The central question will a reflection on the function of the funerary images in a broad sense, but also their impact on the early christian world. The choice of the chronological time also shows the second intention of the colloquium: this is an attempt to explain why the ancient funerary tradition of the image will eventually disappear, replaced by other figures of the representative functions. Through various media - from the mosaic and painting, through sculpture and ending with gilded glasses - there will be presented one of the nodal representation of the self: the human face on the border between life and death.
