  First International Symposium on Primitivism

  The First International Symposium on Primitivism aims to shed new light on a debate that has been given little attention in the field of Humanities, and which focuses on the relationship between Art and the Primitive. The disciplinary foundation of these studies is in History and Art Theory. However, it is also necessarily interdisciplinary, to the extent that we are interested in understanding the aesthetic phenomena that constitute Western art, not only from the perspective of an artistic history, but also – and especially – from its imbrications with aesthetics, culture, society, and politics.

  Part of the Research Program on: Recognition and the Politics of Otherness

  Inter-Cultural Dialogues, 3rd International Symposium

  This symposium is organized by and is part of the activities of the Research Project on Inter-Cultural Dialogues. Among other projects, it is hosted and developed within the Research Program on Recognition and the Politics of Otherness. It has become a common place to speak about globalization as a process that has made the world smaller and more interconnected. But beneath such claims multiple processes remain analytically undefined and critically unexplored. We are interested in assessing how ideas of culture and cultural interactions shape identity, membership, place, rootedness and belonging while simultaneously encouraging misunderstanding, tension and conflict, estrangement, isolation and alienation. In particular, the project will investigate world transformations that have structured cultural flows, given rise to new forms of hybridity, increased nomadic lives and encouraged the proliferation of transitory and transversal interconnections.

  Risk, Dignity and Fragility: Searching for a New Ethics

  Research Program on Lost Virtues, Found Vices, 1st International Symposium

  This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the nature and structure of an ethics for the 21^st century. Ethics has most often been founded on a concept of the self as an agent that is secure, self-confident, and in control and on a view of the world as stable, unchanging and thus as knowable and predictable. Yet contemporary culture shows us a very different view of ourselves and of our environment. Caught up in a world in constant change where borders and boundaries, conditions and contexts are constantly changing and uncertainty is the norm, we find ourselves insecure, vulnerable as forces beyond our control direct and frame the moral decisions that we face. How must ethics be reconceived in light of our shifting ideals of the self and the world? Can there be an ethics under the conditions of uncertainty, flux, and instability?

  Love, Lust and Longing: Rethinking Intimacy

  Research Program on Recasting Bonds, 4th International Symposium

  While discussion of sex become ever more common, opportunities to explore the nature of love are still rare. When the topic is raised, most often the focus is on dramatic experiences or hard cases. The “epic” and the “mundane” are probably more intertwined in our experiences of love than cultural speech and literature admit. Yet, an imbalance continues to exist: we reflect little on the smallness of events that sustain love bonds. What goes unexamined as such are the ways in which love is spoken of and enacted in everyday life. This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the lived experience of love considering the ways in which it is described and how it is practiced, identifying how love differs from and overlaps with concern, care, friendship and lust and raising questions about the ontology, expression and politics of love.

  Postmodern Madness and the Reconstruction of Subjectivities

  Research Program on Space, Time and New Technologies of the Self, 1st International Symposium

  This trans-disciplinary research project is interested in exploring the links between madness, subjectivity, and postmodern narratives. Or, from a different angle, we seek to investigate the ways postmodern discourses encompass ideals of madness in relation to the construction of subjectivity. Schizophrenia, paranoia, perversion, deviation are often called upon and incorporated in the construction of the postmodern subject. How are these terms used to construct subjectivities in cultures in which anxiety, unreason, and disorder are the norm? How is meaning refashioned to pass from 'clinical abnormality' to forms of social 'normality'? How is this concept employed in constructing the postmodern subject in literature, movies, music, photography, painting, and other forms of art?

  Visions of Enchantment

  Occultism, Spirituality & Visual Culture

  This two-day event is a collaboration between the Department of History of Art, University of Cambridge and the Arts University Bournemouth and is organised in association with the European Society for the Study of Western Esotericism. The conference seeks to investigate the formative role that occultism and magic have played in Western and non-Western visual and material culture. It aims to present original research in this feld as well as to establish a productive dialogue between academics with a particular research interest in occultism and visual culture. We invite proposals from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, provided that they present innovative insights into visual, symbolic or material aspects of the esoteric tradition.

  Everyday Life Practices of Muslims in Europe: Consumption and Aesthetics

  This workshop sets out to understand the everyday practices of Muslims living in Europe. The diverse and various (non)-religious daily life practices indicate the non-defined boundaries of Muslims whose practices can be a part of the stigmatised-open spaces in public discourses. Examining the relationship between Islam and liberal democratic values, it is important to note what kind of practices and daily life experiences are exercised in private-public areas, which also determine the views and public perception of Muslims. The identification of Muslims with one or another practice is not a simply neutral matter; this entails also an attachment to liberal, communitarian and civil meanings. Regardless of the daily life activities, these perceptions of Muslims face the challenge that Muslims are not a fixed group, but they share the same practices that others have and do. Food and eating practices, consumer way of life, marriage, salutations; these banal practices of everyday life are central to discover the subjectivity of Muslims, or in other terms, a sense of the self, a way of embodiment.

  Cinquantenaire des indépendances africaines : acteurs politiques marginalisés, oubliés, ressuscités

  À l’occasion du cinquantenaire des indépendances africaines, les pays d’Afrique de l’Est et leurs diasporas, la communauté scientifique internationale ou encore les anciennes puissances coloniales dressent le bilan des réussites et des échecs économiques, sociaux et politiques. On constate cependant que ces inventaires, centrés sur les bouleversements des structures sociales, économiques et politiques, parfois sur les mémoires des pères de la nation et des grands récits nationalistes, négligent généralement de revenir sur des acteurs politiques, collectifs ou individuels, marginalisés dans les années qui ont suivi l’indépendance par les hommes qui ont incarné le nouveau pouvoir.

  Les minorités ethniques ou nationales. Entre renouvellement et permanences

  Revue Belgéo

  Les coordinateurs de ce numéro de Belgéo souhaitent réfléchir sur le thème des « minorités ethniques ou nationales » deux concepts plurivoques entendus ici de façon souple, mais inscrits dans la lignée de P. Poutignat et J. Streiff-Fénart décrivant des groupes qui « n’existent que par la croyance subjective qu’ont leurs membres de former une communauté ». Dialectiquement liée à l’existence d’une majorité, la minorité — population en demande de reconnaissance d’une différence — est « ethnique » éventuellement d’un point de vue racial mais surtout par l’existence de « marqueurs ethniques » (langue, religion, culture, ou autres) qui lui sont spécifiques. La volonté de distinction implique reconnaissance dans la loi comme dans les discours. La façon de nommer les lieux, les individus ; les statuts accordés ou revendiqués ; la visibilité dans l’espace politique et social sont autant d’éléments caractérisant l’altérité.

  Sufism in an Age of Transition

  Bringing together established and early career scholars working across a range of disciplines, including history, anthropology and political science, the Workshop is intended to deepen our understanding of Sufism in Pakistan not as a ‘degraded’ form of Islamic mysticism but as a living tradition ever responsive to wider social and political changes at the local and national levels.  By doing so, it hopes to shed light on the resilience of Sufism to survive the challenge of more ‘modern’ forms of reformist Islam sweeping Pakistan as well as Sufism’s capacity to withstand the historical pressures brought to bear on it by the state’s own ‘modernist’ agenda.

  The Office as an interior (1880-1960)

  Au cours de la« deuxième révolution industrielle » augmente considérablement l’activité dans le tertiaire et se développent les services administratifs dans le secteur industriel et public. L’employé devient ainsi la figure sociale de la modernité urbaine, qui témoigne aussi du rôle croissant de la femme dans ce secteur professionnel. Le colloque Office as an Interior (1880-1960) aborde l’essor du travail administratif entre 1880 et 1960 à travers l’analyse de l’émergence d´un espace nouveau, le bureau, qui par ses arrangements contribue à la diffusion de nouvelles formes de sociabilité et réalise des nouveaux modes d’organisation du travail. Ce colloque voudrait préciser l’analyse des rapports entre espace physique et espace social, entre matérialité et pratiques, entre stratégies et tactiques, entre structures et individus, tels qui ont été explorés par la récente sociologie de l’espace.

  Rethinking the Political and the History of Politics in Chile: Languages, Discourses and Practices of Power

  The objective of this colloquium will be to debate and analyze politics and the political by means of the different forms of language, discourse and practices that intervene in the construction of the social world. There are myriad examples of this in Chilean history. Taking history, political philosophy and political economy as the starting points, we invite doctoral candidates, researchers and academics to participate in this truly trans disciplinary  space of debate, reflection and feedback whose goal is not only to unite a community of researchers into “the political” in the republican period but also to select the best works presented for a future publication in the format of a collective work or a special dossier of a scientific publication.

  From A Sudan to Another

  Political and Social Restructuring Underway

  The separation of the two Sudans in July 2011 created as many opportunities as it aroused difficulties and threats, therefore opening new research fields in Social Sciences. The themes of analysis regarding political and social reshuffling are many, and for a majority of them, yet to study. The CEDEJ-Khartoum and the CFEE-Addis Ababa are willing to give an academic content to the debate, which official talks often miss to address; and to convey discussions between Sudanese and South Sudanese scholars, as well as international specialists of the region.
