Les mondes arabes au prisme des émotions
The Arab Worlds Through the Lens of Emotions
This call for papers invites scholars from various disciplines and countries across the region to take stock of ongoing research, at a time when emotional currents are particularly in- tense. It seeks to explore how emotions unfold, circulate, and are regulated or instrumenta- lized, in an era where their digital expression plays a decisive role in shaping the understanding and representation of contemporary conflicts. The symposium aims to bring together researchers who analyze emotions from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, with particular attention to their relational dimension—taking into account the flows and confrontations between individuals, collectives, and institutions—as well as to their material, temporal, and spatial embeddedness.

The "new clothes" of authoritarianism in the Middle East
Confluences Méditerranée Journal
Authoritarianism in the Middle East has undergone a series of mutations, in various forms, without in many cases fundamentally shaking its traditional patrimonial, military and rentier structures. The "Arab Springs" of 2011 revealed the flaws in these systems. However, recent developments have also illustrated how the notion of political change can actually amount to a veneer of continuity. Many of these regimes have adapted to popular protest and overcome it by adopting a range of measures - from liberalisation to cooperation, from modernisation to coercion. With this in mind, this issue of Confluences Méditerranée will look at this complex issue through a series of interdisciplinary contributions based on existing literature and grounded in field studies.

Lexis, framing, timings, 19th‒21st century in the Middle East
Is preaching consubstantial with crisis? Did the different religious traditions present in the Middle East come to grip with the notion of crisis during the contemporary period? This workshop examines the similarities and divergences between preaching endeavours by the different religious traditions and the transformations in religious discourse in the Middle East from the end of the 19th century onwards. Through a comparative and diachronic analysis, it aims to identify what "constitutes a crisis" for particular religious actors at a given moment in the contemporary history of the Middle East (e.g. military defeat, feelings of inferiority vis-à-vis Europe, demographic decline of a given religious group, secularisation of institutions, rise of atheism, etc.)

Pouvoir et contrôle de l’intime en contexte autoritaire aux XXe et XXIe siècles
Alimentée par une actualité politique brûlante en Europe, aux États-Unis, en Iran, en Chine ou en Russie, où la tentation autoritaire est palpable, où les libertés publiques et les droits ne cessent de reculer ou, du moins, d’être remis en cause, la recherche sur les régimes autoritaires voire « totalitaires » et dictatoriaux a connu ces dernières années un renouvellement historiographique important. Le colloque organisé par l’Équipe de recherche interlangue Mémoires identités territoires (ERIMIT) souhaite s’inscrire dans cette nouvelle dynamique pour éclairer les spécificités de ces types de systèmes politiques, historiques et actuels, à l’aune de l’intime, thème quinquennal du laboratoire de recherche.

Social Changes in Contemporary Southeast Asia
Exploring New Forms of Labour Regimes
As social, ethnic or religious, identity or position in the political hierarchy is more often pronounced in Southeast Asian societies, labour is rarely at the centre. In particular, labour does not often appear to be at the root of the formation of inequalities. In reality, the labour factor - including migrant labour - clearly fuels the regional dynamics of growth, and enables trade specialisation just as its mobilisation has, in the colonial past, enabled insertion into the international division of labour. This conference seeks to bring labour back in at the centre of the analysis. Offering a rare opportunity to pay tribute to the main oeuvres and pioneering authors in the field in Southeast Asia, it will open space to recent ongoing research on social changes with respect to labour relations, working conditions, labour norms, and wages.

Les séismes qui secouent la Turquie et la Syrie depuis le 6 février 2023 sont sans précédent au Moyen-Orient depuis le XIIe siècle. Dans une région déjà frappée par la guerre et les tensions régionales, l’ampleur des dégâts matériels d’une part, et le nombre de victimes qui avoisine les 50 000 morts d’autre part, focalisent l’attention médiatique et remettent le lien entre politique et action humanitaire au centre du débat. Cette table ronde vise à sortir du traitement médiatique de cette catastrophe pour interroger ce qu’ils posent comme défis aux relations internationales.

Science, Technology and Nationalism in India
Although the question of nationalism in India has been of interest to many social science scholars, the relationship between science and nationalism has seldom been discussed in an in-depth manner. STS perspectives and debates allow a framework that investigates the pivotal role and position of science and technology in the realization of state policies in India through several technoscientific projects and illustrates how deeply it is enmeshed within the larger political and social goals of national growth and development. Therefore, we would like to investigate the role science and technology play in these imbrications, the challenges they pose, and how these new assemblages reconfigure power relations between the Global North and the Global South within India, between States and markets.

Institutional change in Japanese agriculture
Japan Agricultural Cooperatives (JA), a nationwide network of farm cooperatives, is under increasing pressure to expand farmer incomes by adapting coop strategies to changing market incentives. Some coops have adapted more successfully than others. In Betting on the Farm, Patricia L. Maclachlan and Kay Shimizu attribute these differences to three sets of local variables: resource endowments and product-specific market conditions, coop leadership, and the organization of farmer-members behind new coop strategies.

Theories and Practices of Federalism
Federalism Conference 2022
The Federalism conference is an international and hybrid conference that seeks to explore one the one hand, normative and historical theories of federalism and, on the other hand, investigate federal practices based primarily on case studies from Asia. With many countries opting for a federal structure of the government, federalism has now become a popular research topic among political scientists and constitutional scholars, leading to the burgeoning of centers and research projects at the international level. Federal ideas and the reality of existing federal states cannot be sharply divided. A comprehensive analysis of institutional philosophical roots can thus help us to further a comprehensive understanding of federal institutions as well as design appropriate analytical tools for investigating elements of multilevel governance systems.

The judicialization of social and environmental issues in Japan
Continuities, transformations, evolutions
This special edition aims to gain insight into how the use of the legal system and litigation have evolved. In Japan, recourse to the courts is relatively rare, but litigations have increased since the end of the 1980s in areas such as labour, consumer protection, family law and, more recently, climate change. Is a process of “judicialization” (shihōka) underway in Japan?

Water and agriculture in the Arab world
Le développement agricole des pays arabes est intrinsèquement lié aux problématiques de la gouvernance de l’eau, car l’agriculture présente à elle seule environ 85 % des prélèvements totaux en eau au Moyen-Orient. Compte tenu de cette situation, et prenant en considération que la région du Moyen-Orient est présentée comme l’une des plus pauvres en eau d’ici 2050 (World Resource Institute, 2019), il devient urgent de repenser le modèle agricole qui se trouve à l’origine de ce déséquilibre. Un modèle agricole moins tourné vers l’export et davantage axé sur les spécificités géographiques et hydriques de chaque pays, permettrait-il de lutter efficacement contre la « pénurie d’eau » dans la région ?

Understanding China, understanding the world
China scholars have long worked in a closed circuit and China studies have rarely been able to have a disciplinary impact beyond their field. After 1978’s Open and reform policy, Chinese scholars have intensely striven to catch up with Western concepts and theories and have, along with foreign scholars, tried to apply them to Chinese contexts. Since the 2010s and China’s greater rise and confidence, academia has also engaged in indigenization (bentuhua), and some researchers have tried to build and use local concepts presumably better suited to China’s conditions. These endeavors have however mostly failed to China being a “limit case”, some analyses however manage to enlighten cases beyond China’s borders. As David Ownby said, Chinese intellectuals “speak to the world” and it is high time Chinese studies, and more specifically political science and sociology in our case, speak to the academic community at large.

The intercultural in the age of crises - Comparative perspectives in the light of contemporary upheavals
L’intérêt porté aux déplacements ayant pour cause un changement environnemental, ou climatique, se perçoit dans de nombreux domaines : politiques, médiatiques, et académiques. Par cette thématique, il s’agit d’interroger le droit international, régional, ou national, et leurs acteurs, afin de comprendre les effets de l’insertion de la contrainte environnementale dans l’étude des migrations : existe-t-il des outils juridiques permettant la protection de chaque individu, ou collectivité, impacté par une crise environnementale ? Comment les enjeux sociaux liés aux migrations environnementales se traduisent-ils, au regard de la multiplicité des normes internationales et de leur interprétation dans plusieurs systèmes et cultures juridiques ?

Public space / private spaces in the light of the Arab Spring
À rebours des représentations officielles, médiatiques et néo-orientalistes de la division entre espace public/espace(s) privé(s), l’objectif de ce huitième colloque du Cercle des chercheurs sur le Moyen-Orient (CCMO) est d’analyser leurs chevauchements, leurs imbrications et interactions, voire leur caractère interchangeable : un espace privé étant susceptible à tout moment de se muer en espace public et inversement, un espace public pouvant épouser des logiques de privatisation et d’appropriation particulariste par un clan, une milice, une faction ou encore des groupes porteurs de causes spécifiques liées au genre, à la classe d’âge, à l’origine sociale ou encore à l’appartenance locale. Ce colloque invite à complexifier et à déconstruire cette opposition rigide entre espace public au singulier et espaces privés au pluriel, en interrogeant notamment la manière dont le politique se déploie dans des espaces privés ou semi-privés.
