Ethiopian Studies and Digital Humanities: tools and projects

Beta maṣāḥəft, Ethiopian Manuscript Archives, EthioMap

The objective of this workshop is to create the conditions for the emergence of a scientific community using digital collaborative tools within Ethiopian studies. There is no need to recall the scientific and technological context in which we live to understand the importance and challenges of this methodological revolution. Many initiatives have emerged over the past two decades, both in terms of the availability of digitized documentation and the tools to use it. After the first experiments, interoperability and sharing have become the key words, and Ethiopian studies must respond to these good practices.

On Homophonic Translation

For the past fifty years, homophonic translation (traduction homophonique, sound translation, Oberflächenübersetzung) has been practiced internationally by an ever-increasing number of writers from the USA, the UK, Germany, France and beyond. Following pioneers such as Louis Zukofsky, Ernst Jandl and members of the Oulipo group, this heterodox genre (between translation and creation) has spread widely, to the point where it is among the exercises practiced in creative writing classes. Although some consider it as an unacceptable, illegitimate, and unethical practice, it is nonetheless true that such an approach to translation has acquired a crucial place within experimental writing, and notably in the poetic field.

Urban renewal projects in Europe

The colloquium will try to highlight two issues about urban renewal projects, shared by all European countries. Who’s benefiting from urban projects? How is it possible to renew in a context of crisis? The first day will inquire both the place left to or/and taken by the citizens in urban projects, the targets of these projects and their social impacts. The second day will assess both the financial crisis impacts on governance, especially on the place of private and public sectors, and the environmental constraints to be taken into account in urban renewal.

Call for papers - Education

Institutionalization and internationalization of the devices of recognition and the validation of the work and social experience acquired (RVEA)

Vector of renewal of the relations between universe of education and work?

Ce colloque a pour buts : - d’identifier et décrire les connaissances et les expériences relatives à la RVAE à travers différents axes thématiques. Il s’agira de s’interroger, en termes de distance et de rupture, sur les parcours individuels (candidats, professionnels de l’accompagnement, membres de jurys, etc.) singuliers et collectifs au sein d’une société en constante évolution et sur les contraintes qu’elle fait peser sur eux ; - d’articuler et analyser les résultats rapportés de ces problématisations et expérimentations de façon à identifier l’intérêt d’une perspective comparée des approches et des méthodologies utilisées dans les différents espaces locaux, nationaux et internationaux ; - de tirer les enseignements de ces analyses pour les confronter à des propositions, à même de structurer de futures collaborations, sous forme de programmes internationaux. Autrement dit, l’intention est de contribuer à un débat scientifique et pragmatique de fond et de favoriser un début de conceptualisation ou de formulation d’hypothèses d’action.

International Workshop, Paris-IEDES, 7-8 december 09

Organized by UMR 201, RUME India, Mexico, Madagascar, CIESAS (Mexico) (www.rume-rural-microfinance.org). The main purpose of this interdisciplinary workshop will be a theoretical and empirical examination of over-indebtedness from the perspective of southern countries, with the following underlying hypothesis: to define and analyze the process of indebtedness requires first an understanding of the complexity and diversity of debt relationships. The following questions might be addressed: 1) The social meaning of debt, creditworthiness and over-indebtedness. 2) Financial ‘markets’ and financial providers. 3) Financial culture. 4) Impoverishment and accumulation. 5) Over-indebtedness.

History and Sociology of Veterinary Public Health

Le 1er décembre 2009, l'unité RiTME de l'INRA organise une journée d'étude consacrée à l'histoire et à la sociologie de la santé publique vétérinaire. Cette journée d'études sera l'occasion d'interroger ce qui constitue la « santé publique vétérinaire » en articulant trois types d’approches : celles qui s’attachent aux sciences vétérinaires, à la fois comme savoir scientifique fondé sur des concepts et des principes universels, et sur un ensemble spécifique de pratiques et de faire ; celles qui s’intéressent aux acteurs porteurs de ce savoir, à leur art (tour de main, pratiques, techniques) et à leur organisation en profession reconnue ; celles enfin, qui s’interrogent sur les instruments, les dispositifs et les programmes publics qui gouvernement les domaines d’intervention vétérinaires.

Boundaries of Life – Biology, agriculture and medicine from 1945 on

The embryo and the circulations of knowledge, tools and norms accross the human –animal boundary

Recent developments in biology have resulted in the emergence of practices (xenografts, cloning …) and entities (stem-cells, “humanized” animal models, human-animal chimeras, …) that challenge and question the human – animal boundary. This workshop aims at analyzing how the human – animal boundary is performed and (re)defined by suchpractices, but also by the sets of rules (from laws to “best” or local practices) that govern their use.
