La liberté académique dans la démocratie universitaire
Ce colloque entend explorer les liens qu’entretiennent la liberté académique et la démocratie universitaire. L’université est, en effet, une institution singulière puisqu’elle est la seule à être dirigée par une autorité élue dans le cadre d’un principe d’autogouvernement.

Conference, symposium - History
Communist Perspectives on Atheism in the 20th Century
In recent years, scholars in historical and secular studies have become increasingly interested in communist attitudes towards religion, communist regimes’ efforts to uproot religion, and interactions between Marxists and Christians. This conference will explore transnational communist perspectives on atheism in the twentieth century and Marxist-inspired attempts to explain and influence the evolution of atheism. Building on work on “scientific atheism”, “atheist establishments” and “thought collectives”, the conference explores differences and commonalities within the Soviet bloc – within which scholarly debates on atheism took place in what might be called a limited international scientific community.

Sex (Mis)Education in the English-Speaking World
Historical, Literary and Socio-political Perspectives
This call for papers seeks contributions that will engage with the competing forms of formal and informal sex education as they pertain to the English-speaking world with a special focus on English speaking societies from the Indian ocean. Our aim is to propose varied, innovative and interdisciplinary approaches to the broad question of sex education, welcoming papers from historians, linguists, literary critics, sociologists, specialists in gender studies and others. Keeping in mind Foucault’s notion that sex is both hyper visible and taboo, we aim at providing in-depth discussions which will help better understand both formal and informal sex education taking into account the fact that sex education is fraught with cultural tensions and political feuds.

Journée d'étude à l'École française d’Extrême-Orient

Circulations des objets et des œuvres asiatiques sur le marché de l’art parisien (1789-1914)
Tout au long du XIXe siècle, des objets d’art asiatiques anciens ou récents circulent sur le marché parisien. Leur diversité est remarquable : porcelaines, estampes, bronzes ou étoffes, du Japon ou d’ailleurs. L’étude de la circulation de ces objets invite à considérer les différents acteurs et actrices permettant ces échanges. Les marchands sont rejoints par des personnalités et des institutions aux motivations plurielles. Les provenances, les moyens de circulation, ainsi que les espaces dans lesquels évoluent les acheteurs à Paris montrent également que les contacts dépassent largement la seule place parisienne.

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.

L’animal dans l’imaginaire de l’Asie
Alter ou alter ego ?
Ce colloque explore la polysémie de l’imaginaire de l’animal, tout particulièrement de l’animal sauvage, en Asie et ses fonctions : est-il un « alter ego », un animal protecteur, apportant à l’humanité ses pouvoirs propres ou un « alter » radical, qui représente un monde autre que l’humanité ? Quels sont les enjeux de ces diverses représentations pour l’humanité comme pour le partage de la planète avec le monde animal ?

Figures de l’art n° 42, revue d’études esthétiques

Serving the Sultan: Religious Diversity in Gujarat Under Islamic Rule
The Serving the Sultan conference will re-visit and cross-examine the processes that forged and shaped this religiously multi-layered, and ethnically plural society during the Islamic period in Gujarat (1298 - 1756 AD). This will be achieved by focusing on religious minorities, either in the numerical sense (Jains/Parsis), or minorities in the sense of not sharing the religion of power (various Hindu traditions). These communities’ intellectual, artistic, and literary contributions at the Islamic courts, their relation with the Islamic rulers, their everyday lives, and their mutual interactions will emerge as the common thread throughout this conference. Moreover, this colloquium seeks to explore how these local actors are embedded in trans-regional socio-political and cultural processes, thus connecting the developments in Gujarat with the broader South-Asian context.

Scholarship, prize and job offer - Urban studies
Two post-doctoral positions for the project "Subaltern Urbanization in the Touristic Mountains of Southern and South-Eastern Asia" (URBALTOUR)
L’ANR URBALTOUR (Urbanisations subalternes dans les montagnes touristique d’Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est) analyse les convergences entre logiques urbaines et touristiques à partir des stations d’altitude fondées à l’époque coloniale en Inde, au Sri Lanka, au Myanmar, au Vietnam, en Indonésie et en Malaisie. Dans le cadre de ce projet sont proposés deux contrats post-doctoraux. Le premier pour une durée de douze mois en études urbaines et/ou touristiques consistera à étudier deux stations d’altitude de l’époque coloniale jusqu’à nos jours dans une perspective à la fois urbaine et touristique en Malaisie (Cameron Highlands) et en Indonésie. Le second, d'une durée de dix-huit mois en histoire coloniale, consistera à travailler, à partir d'archives, à l'étude des stations d’altitude à l’époque coloniale dans une perspective à la fois urbaine et touristique en Asie du Sud et du Sud-Est (Malaisie, Indes orientales néerlandaises, Indochine française, Inde britannique, Ceylan).

The animal in the Asian imagination : alter or alter ego ?
This conference proposes to explore the polysemy of the imaginary of the animal, especially the wild animal, in Asia and its functions: is it an "alter ego", a protective animal, bringing to humanity its own powers or a radical "alter", which represents a world other than humanity; what are the stakes of these various representations for humanity as well as for the sharing of the planet with the animal world? It seems to us that if man symbolically acquires the power of the animal, it is on the condition that he remains beyond a real or metaphorical man/animal border. Faced with the disappearance of primary spaces and non-modernized populations, the wild animal thus seems the ultimate reservoir of the anti-modern, of what escapes the anthropocene, what is not "for" humanity.
