Mémoires palestiniennes. Circulation, transmission, création
Revue Inter-lignes, numéro 36
La culture palestinienne est marquée par le lien étroit avec les notions de mémoire / mémoires et de transmission. Ces mémoires s’expriment à travers une pluralité de récits, de pratiques et de formes d’expression (qu’elles soient artistiques, patrimoniales, linguistiques ou encore sociales). Elles se matérialisent dans des traces visibles et invisibles (objets, archives photographiques, récits oraux, chants traditionnels, pratiques artisanales) mais aussi dans les œuvres contemporaines qui réinterprètent et contribuent à perpétuer ces héritages.

This workshop seeks to explore the links between preaching and socio-humanitarian action in the contemporary Middle East. Contexts of social and humanitarian crises appear as privileged sites for understanding this constitutive device of faith experiences, beyond the sole framework of the sermon or religious discourse. The chosen approach is deliberately cross-cutting: it brings Islam, Judaism, and Christianity into dialogue, while situating the Middle East within a global perspective. How does preaching accompany and shape social and humanitarian action? In what forms and according to which modalities does it unfold? How does it influence the understanding and implementation of aid?

Enjeux de la circulation des œuvres et des artistes arabes dans les festivals internationaux
Dans le contexte d’une internationalisation croissante des échanges artistiques et d’une présence accrue des artistes arabes sur les scènes européennes, nous nous intéressons aux liens entre les festivals et la scène théâtrale arabe contemporaine. Une première approche s’inscrit dans l’étude socio-économique du spectacle vivant, et l’internationalisation des champs. Une autre approche est esthétique et interroge davantage les formes, les genres, les types de récits proposés. À la convergence de ces différentes approches se trouve la question des liens entre théâtre et politique, dans des contextes régionaux et internationaux fortement marqués par des enjeux (géo)politiques.

“Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya
The trilingual conference “Colonial Communities” in the Mediterranean between Italian Unification and the Occupation of Libya seeks to address a still relatively unexplored topic: the study of Italian communities abroad, with particular attention to the Mediterranean world in the period between national unification (1861) and the occupation of Libya (1911). At the core of this reflection lies the close, and not merely chronological, relationship between the migratory dynamics that characterized the early decades of unified Italy and the rise of colonial expansionism. The seminar therefore aims to investigate this connection through the specific lens offered by the Italian presence in North Africa and in the Ottoman Empire before the occupation of Libya.

British Travel Writing and Imperial Rivalry in Europe and the Near East, 1783–1914
This conference aims to interrogate some of these British visions of rival empires in narrations published between 1783 and 1914. It would be interesting to analyse the practice of imagined colonialism, that is, how the British travellers cast a domineering gaze upon their imperial rivals when travelling in lands that were not colonies of the British crown.

This international conference aims to explore the central role of culture and art in the reconstruction and regeneration of the social fabric, through a reinterpretation of trauma as a driver of creation and preservation of cultural memory and as a form of resistance to the politics of erasure. We encourage papers dealing with the interconnections between trauma, memory and resistance in multiple artistic languages to highlight the role of art in reinterpreting trauma, making it a source of memory and thus a basis for social change. The focus will be on the artistic production, especially during the 21st century, created by Palestinian artists about Palestine, including those in the diaspora.

Le propos de cet ouvrage collectif est d’analyser la représentation littéraire féminine contemporaine en termes de création individuelle. Ces auteures vont à leur manière élaborer à créer une version positive de l’écriture romanesque permettant d’accéder à une vérité qui va « au-delà des mots ». En explorant les aspects spécifiques de ces écritures, ces écrivaines ne font pas qu’inventer un nouveau langage et une nouvelle vision du réel, elles donnent forme à ce qui est exclu du champ de la représentation. Leur souci c’est de parvenir par une recherche poétique/esthétique à une sorte d’écriture marginalisée, ambigüe et différente.

Attractiveness and mobility networks: seducing, welcoming and integrating
As part of the study day "Attractiveness and Mobility Networks," PhD students, postdoctoral researchers, and scholars are invited to explore the dynamics of attractiveness in individual and collective mobilities, from the Bronze Age to the modern era. The event focuses on the legal, political, and social mechanisms implemented to attract, welcome, and integrate individuals into networks. It also examines the formal and informal circulation of information, as well as the processes of community clustering. Particular attention will be given to both the successes and failures of these mechanisms of attractiveness.

Enquêter avec les images : les trajectoires probatoires de la vidéo
Rencontre PROFIL 3
L’objet du programme PROFIL (procès filmés) de cette troisième rencontre est de questionner l’élaboration de la preuve par l’image, et principalement par la vidéo, dans différents contextes d’enquêtes et de documentation (judiciaires, mémoriaux ou scientifiques) propres à des conflits armés (depuis les crimes commis en Bosnie-Herzégovine ou au Rwanda dans les années 90 jusqu’aux derniers crimes de guerre commis en Syrie et en Ukraine) mais aussi à des actes de terrorisme ou des violences policières. Cette approche pluridisciplinaire permettra de diversifier les regards sur les expériences historiques et/ou judiciaires, sur les pratiques passées et/ou actuelles à partir d’ analyses d’universitaires ou de professionnels du droit.

Philosophy and the National Question
Taking as its starting point the idea of “philosophical nationalism” proposed by Jacques Derrida, this seminar aims to question the way in which different national and nationalist discourses have accompanied both the construction of modern philosophical historiography and the development of comparative or intercultural philosophy. The division of the world into “philosophical nations” still constitutes today the starting point of any comparative effort and leads to making the “dialogue between traditions” a discourse tending to legitimize national ideologies.

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.)

Trauma et création artistique : l’engagement des artistes arabes dans des dynamiques de résilience
Le colloque vise à ouvrir la réflexion à des productions culturelles et/ou artistiques des cultures méditerranéennes en reconfiguration. Ces corpus seront représentatifs des contacts et des croisements entre artistes européens et arabes, immigrés ou non, dans des environnements artistiques désormais mondialisés. Les interventions mettront au jour, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire et/ou multidisciplinaire, les formes esthétiques, tant novatrices que réadaptées, les modes contemporains et les nouveaux motifs d’engagement méditerranéen et arabe, d’en analyser les effets ainsi que les questions de la distanciation ou de la non-distanciation, de la mise en forme de ces œuvres artistiques et de leur adaptation aux publics. Il s’agira enfin de comprendre comment sont transmis ces discours artistiques, parfois militants (traumartivisme), toujours engagés, relatifs à des questions de société et donc susceptibles d’impliquer différents types de publics, initiés ou non.

On the Roads of Arabia: Itineraries by Land and Sea
From the Bronze Age to the Islamic Period
The aim of the symposium is to study the overland and maritime routes of the Arabian Peninsula and the exchanges they made possible, through archaeology, history, philology, religion and life sciences. This topic will be addressed in the longue durée, from the Bronze Age to the Islamic period. The symposium will also examine the networks of exchanges with border regions such as the Indian subcontinent, the Horn of Africa and Egypt, as well as the empires of the Ancient Near East, and the Greek and Roman empires.

Call for papers - Political studies
The populations of Western Sahara and Palestine share the same denial: that of recognition, by third-party states, of a political subjectivity granting them the right to decide their own destinies. How can comparison and historical perspective on these two issues help us better understand their political, legal, and social dimensions? The aim of our proposal is, in fact, to highlight them, while at the same time trying not to overlook the differences, starting with the social structure of the two populations and their identity construction.

Implosion des empires et frontières
1914-2024
Le XXe siècle a vu l’écroulement brutal de trois empires dont les signes de faiblesse étaient cependant de plus en plus évidents : l'empire austro-hongrois, l'empire ottoman puis l'URSS. La première guerre mondiale a été fatale au camp des vaincus parmi lesquels se trouvaient les deux premiers. Ces opérations de dislocation, les deux premières datant d’un siècle, la troisième plus récente, ont laissé derrière elles des bombes à retardement dont certaines ont contribué au désordre international, voire aux guerres d’aujourd’hui. Le retour des guerres balkaniques, l’agression russe contre l’Ukraine et la Géorgie, le conflit du Haut Karabakh, la question palestinienne et la guerre à Gaza ont leurs racines dans la façon dont ont été tracées « des lignes dans le sable » lors de l’implosion des empires. Comprendre les motivations des politiques qui ont démantelé les empires et envisager les autres scénarios qui auraient été possibles permettrait-il d’apaiser les conflits potentiels ou actifs d’aujourd’hui ?
