  Maternités et figures maternelles dans les traditions religieuses de l’Asie du Sud

  Motherhood and Maternal Figures in the Religious Traditions of South Asia

  This symposium aims at shedding light on the theme of motherhood in the context of South Asian religious traditions, by examining historical and contemporary figures, texts, beliefs, and practices. The proposed contributions will analyze the ways in which motherhood, in its gendered aspects, constitutes a site of negotiation of the relationship with the religious in different traditions, by encouraging a comparative perspective on the relationship between motherhood and religion as well as by considering together a variety of case studies with different disciplinary and methodological approaches.

  Architectural heritage and environmental mutations: typologies, representations, transitions

  Even if publications, studies and trainings interested in a so-called ecological architecture areextremely numerous today, the vast majority of them do not apply on the long term and to the existing heritage. And when it is the case, the subject is generally related to the architectural and urban production after 1945. We would like to broaden this concern to other periods and inscribe the work of the proposed seminar in an environmental history.

  Geospatial methods and tools in the analysis of health problems

  Le neuvième numéro de la revue Espace Territoires Sociétés et Santé (RETSSA) porte sur le dossier thématique « méthodes et outils geospatiaux dans l’analyse des problèmes de santé ». La santé humaine dépend à 80 % des paramètres contextuels : environnement physique (10 %), comportements sanitaires (30 %) et facteurs sociaux et économiques (40 %). Seulement 20 % de l’état de santé est attribuable au génome, au microbiome et à la qualité des soins obtenus. De ce fait, plusieurs sciences interviennent dans la résolution des problèmes de santé à travers l’étude de divers facteurs. L’objectif du dossier thématique « méthodes et outils géospatiaux dans l’analyse des problèmes de santé » est d’appréhender les faits de santé à travers l’usage des méthodes et des outils de cartographie, de SIG, de géostatistique et de la télédétection.

  Tolkien and Antiquity

  Antiquities of Middle-earth

  This workshop, which will take place on June 4, 2022 in Paris, aims to study the notion of Antiquity(ies) in the work of J. R. R. Tolkien. The event is open to specialists in literature, antiquity or reception of antiquity, insofar as the aim is to reflect on the existence of ancient periods in Tolkien's legends which could present points of convergence with Greco-Roman antiquity in the broad sense, as the author could conceive it in particular.

  The prospect of an accident: when construction fails

  Ædificare Journal

  Accidents are an invariable feature of the built environnement and construction operations over the long term of history. Varying greatly in nature and scope, thses episodes deserve to be explored in a historical perspective in a more systematic way than they generally have been. Far from being exceptional events, tehy are in fact a regularoccurence in the life of constructions; Owing to their unexpected, unwelcome and even sometimes intolerable nature, thses events lead to a documentary production proportional to their importance, including of a media, technical and legal nature, thus provideng a wealth of sources for considering the history of construction from a different angle. Three lines of questioning are proposed for this issue of the journal Ædificare: The search for causes and responsabilities, Immediate and emergency management of the consequences of an accident and Prevention and accidental risk culture.

  Jewish Theatre as an Object of Anthropological Study

  This study day aims to apprehend Jewish theatre (in all its forms of expression, both linguistic and aesthetic) from an anthropological perspective. Taking as a starting point the Talmudic proscription of theater and circus performances (Jerusalem Talmud, Avoda Zara, 18b) and confronting it with primary sources which attest to the presence of the theatre among the Jews, we formulate several questions. How is it possible to approach theatre within Judaism? As an anthropological object working on the construction and affirmation of a form of Jewishness apprehended according to its relation to the theatre? In other words, can theatre be conceived as a medium of the Jewish subject? Can we consider Jewish theatre independently of its links with the Bible? In what forms? What about the historical and biblical topics that are found in most writers?

  Les territoires dans la politique des nationalités minoritaires en Chine

  Revue « EchoGéo »

  La République populaire de Chine est constituée, sur plus de la moitié de sa superficie, de provinces et régions autonomes où les populations non han occupent entre un et deux cinquièmes de la population totale. La construction d’un État-nation moderne, désormais ouvert sur ses voisins, en font des périphéries dont le pouvoir central ne veut plus seulement s’assurer l’allégeance politique et l’exploitation économique mais aussi intégrer les populations et les territoires dans un discours unitaire sous couvert de développement national. La revue ÉchoGéo propose de réunir des contributions de géographes, d’anthropologues, de politologues ou de sociologues sur la place des territoires dans la politique des nationalités minoritaires en Chine, en privilégiant des cas d’études couvrant la variété des situations.

  Believing, doing, existing in a pandemic

  La crise sanitaire que nous vivons depuis début 2020 a été la matrice de remises en cause idéologiques et politiques qui n’ont fait que s’accentuer avec la hantise de la contamination, l’angoisse des lendemains et le spectre de la catastrophe écologique. Ce contexte est devenu un catalyseur de nombreux questionnements sur des normes sociales acquises et participe au surgissement ou à la cristallisation de nouvelles formes de croire en lien avec de mobilisations sociales et politiques, individuelles ou collectives, dont la nature est très fragmentée. L’angle d’analyse de cet appel à contribution insiste sur l’imbrication entre des « croyances » et des mobilisations qui sont à lire de manière diachronique, sans oublier comment, dans des époques antécédentes, des mouvements similaires ont pu réagir face aux prémisses dramatiques de la société industrielle qui se mettait en place.

  The Myth of Versailles and European Courts, 17th and 20th centuries

  Ce colloque est organisé dans le cadre du programme « Identités curiales et le mythe de Versailles en Europe : perceptions, adhésions et rejets (XVIII^e-XIX^e siècle) » mené par le centre de recherche du château de Versailles. Il a pour objectif d’analyser le modus operandi du mythe de Versailles dans l’Europe monarchique des XVIII^e, XIX^e et XX^e siècles, en prenant en compte les deux éléments contradictoires mais complémentaires qui caractérisent cette notion : le réel et la reconstruction du réel. L’enjeu sera donc double : cerner comment les différents aspects propres à l’identité de Versailles ont pu nourrir un imaginaire, mais aussi saisir la manière dont cet imaginaire a pu susciter d’autres réalisations – architecturales, rituelles, politiques.

  Concevoir la ville de demain

  The way we live in the 21st century and recent health events have changed the traditional organisation of public space in the city. The social and cultural dimension has been particularly affected. Population flows and their circulation, the organisation of individual and common spaces must be rethought in order to find harmony for everyone. Faced with new ecological, health, social and economic developments, we ask an essential question: What is the city of today made of? How can we build the city of tomorrow?
