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?

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.

Aid Networks and Mechanisms in a Migratory Context: Europe and the Middle East (1945-1970)
This call for papers aims to prepare a collective publication focused on the actors and practices of assistance to migrant populations in Europe and the Middle East between 1945 and 1970. The project adopts an innovative perspective, emphasizing on-the-ground dynamics and the interactions among the various actors involved in migration-related aid, between cooperation, competition and entanglement.

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.)

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 ?

Artistic Censorship and the Creation of Israel (1948-1967)
This article discusses the artistic censorship of German and Germany in Israel between 1948-1967. During these years, with various fluctuations, the Israeli Film and Theatre Review Board, the agency in charge of artistic censorship, actively censored films, plays and concerts in German. Relying on previously undiscussed archival data, the article tracks the contours of this censorship, from its adoption upon the establishment of the state, to its eventual demise after full diplomatic relations were established between Israel and West Germany.

Memory, perception and politics of empire today
The study of empires is a dynamic field; we are constantly revising our knowledge of empires, inspired by newly discovered sources as well as new approaches. The context of historical writing itself significantly influences our perception of imperial history. Post-imperial realities also force us to rethink the empire. This special issue of Diacronie. Studi di storia contemporanea invites contributions that present perspectives on how we remember and study the empires that collapsed at the end of the First World War.

Algérie-Palestine : des sentiers qui s’entrecroisent
La Palestine occupe désormais une place centrale dans le champ des études comparatistes sur les colonies de peuplement. Réunissant des chercheurs d’horizons divers, des militants, des diplomates et des artistes, l’ambition de cette journée est de dépasser les boîtes noires idéologiques construites par les historiographies coloniales et les régimes politiques pour restituer les liens profonds qui unissent les sociétés algérienne et palestinienne. En fin de compte, il s’agit de créer un espace pour penser non seulement les espoirs mais aussi les tensions et les contradictions inhérentes aux luttes décoloniales à différents moments de l’histoire.

What future for Theater in the Arab World?
Practices, movements and perspectives in the perpetuation of Theater production in the Arab World
The ephemeral dimension of Theater is often considered as an obstacle for a pertinent account of past representations, hence the difficulty of writing the history of a practice when we cannot consider every moment of its creative process. We cannot also apprehend clearly its future. However, even if it does not pretend to predict the future, this call for papers wishes to question the long-term effects and the procedures that contribute to the perpetuation of Theatrical currents and productions in the Arab World.

Screening Crime in the Arab World
This conference will focus on Arab crime films and TV series, by which are meant, broadly, works of fiction centering on crimes, criminals and criminal investigations (by law enforcement agencies or ordinary citizens), from the beginning of Arab cinema to the present. The aim of the conference is to study these crime dramas in their historical contexts of production and reception and to reflect on the multiple dimensions – narrative, cultural, social, legal, political, etc. – of crime and, where appropriate, of criminal investigations in Arab movies/shows.

Articuler l’histoire sociale et environnementale
Proche-Orient, Maghreb, Afrique (XIXe-XXe siècles)
Cette journée d’étude a pour objectif de rassembler des historien·ne·s contemporanéistes spécialistes du Proche-Orient, du Maghreb et de l’Afrique travaillant dans une optique environnementale. Si la trame politique globale de l’histoire moderne et contemporaine de ces régions est bien connue (domination impériale ottomane ou monarchique locale, tutelle coloniale européenne, accession à la souveraineté nationale), les dynamiques sociales, juridiques et environnementales sont sous-documentées. Cette rencontre ambitionne de renforcer les liens entre des « aires » habituellement séparées tout en englobant une diversité de zones climatiques et d’écosystèmes, des côtes méditerranéennes aux forêts tropicales, en passant par les milieux désertiques.

Whither the Spiritual? Rethinking Secularism’s Legacy in post-Ottoman Art
This dossier examines—and challenges—the implications of art history’s secular tilt—what Shaw has called an over-reliance on “Christian-based ideas of visuality” - on the study of modern and contemporary art from the Middle East. It aims to consider what new explorations in this field can offer for rethinking both art history and spirituality’s relationship to empirical argument and experience as cornerstones of modernity in a western modality.

Jews of the Arab world, why did they leave?
Dans la seconde moitié du XXe siècle, la quasi-totalité des populations juives ont quitté le monde arabe, dans un contexte de bouleversements entraînés notamment par la destruction des juifs d’Europe, la création de l’État d’Israël, la décolonisation et les guerres israélo-arabes. Les causes et les circonstances de ces émigrations, complexes et très diverses selon les pays, restent mal connues, mal comprises, et donnent lieu à des instrumentalisations de tous bords. Ce colloque se propose de rouvrir le dossier du départ des juifs du monde arabe dans une perspective comparatiste et ouverte aux spécialistes internationaux, à distance des usages politiques de l’histoire, pour dresser un état des lieux des connaissances sur la question.

Militant cinema in the Arab world (from the 1960s to the present day)
What about militant cinema today, in the Arab world? Are its objectives and modalities the same regarding the current political and social realities? What does commitment and activism mean today in a region witnessing during the last decade multiple revolutionary movements, generating as much enthusiasm as disenchantment, and a violent reality that casts a doubt on any hope of change?
