    Tourist mobility patterns, heritage and globalisation

    Postdoctoral fellowship Labex Dynamite 2014

    The 1980s saw the advent of a new phase of globalisation, a new phase of capitalism, a new era of heritage and a new era of tourism. While these evolutions have been clearly identified, they are often approached separately. If the changes relating to heritage can be explained by a crisis in our relationships with time, or even by a new "presentist" view of history, the new mobility patterns of tourism relate a new relationship with space that is typical of contemporary globalisation. The research project in which the post-doc candidate will be involved sets out to consider these dynamics of globalisation, heritage and tourism conjointly.

    Late Antiquity in the north-western half of the Arabian peninsula: material culture, chronology, exchanges and territorial entities

    PhD fellowhip Labex Dynamite 2014-2015

    The very quick recent development of archaeological and epigraphic work in Saudi Arabia brought deep changes in our knowledge of the Arabian Peninsula — which until the middle of the 2000's was only based on research on the periphery: Kuwait, Bahrayn, Qatar, The Emirates, Oman, and Yemen. That development reveals how wide the gaps are, of the interpretative frame in particular, for broad geo-historical segments. That is true especially for what is generally called Late Antiquity (4th- early 7th centuries AD), and here "Late Pre-Islamic" or even in local religious terms jâhîliyah, "ignorance" — a term which actually reflects correctly the state of knowledge. The amount of data collected within less than ten years within a large North-Western half of the Peninsula makes possible to see that except for the extreme North (current Joradanian border and Jawf Oasis) the Christianity does not penetrate and Byzantiums unifying power is absent. One is even unable to name what the field teams are dealing with. The proposed doctoral work must produce the state of that question, for which there if a rich evidence in stratigraphy, architecture, objects, and even epigraphy due to the recent demonstration of the Nabataean-Arabic continuum. The comparison with the Byzantine and christianized areas of the extreme North must be one of the leading strands but no way the only one, since the heart of the subject lyes, on the contrary, in the currently unnamed culture(s) of the Peninsula itself.

    Gender, migration and citizenship

    Revisiting Southeast Asian international marriages

    In the current context of economic crisis, international marriages and family-related migrations are becoming increasingly restricted in many developed countries in the Global North, whereas countries in the Global South are adopting measures to protect local women from the trafficking and sexual exploitation that may arise from international marriages. These regulations of the “marriage market” pose challenges to single men and women looking for partners of a different nationality and for bi-national couples pursuing a family-formation project. For those who successfully immigrated in the country of their partner, social incorporation and cohesive family life are the next challenges in line. To shed light on the multi-faceted life of marriage migrants in the current age of economic crisis and increased border controls, this edited volume will take a closer look at Southeast Asian international marriages. It will also attempt to capture the dynamics of the interaction among macro-, meso- and microsociological factors that shape migrants’ trajectories, while taking into account their subjectivities and agency.

    Systèmes coopératifs dans les régions de montagne

    Avec l’Année internationale des coopératives (AIC) en 2012, les Nations Unies ont reconnu l’impact mondial des coopératives sur le développement économique et social. Grâce à leur structure organisationnelle démocratique et à leur orientation économique, les coopératives, dans de nombreuses régions de montagne, contribuent de manière significative à la croissance du capital social, à l’intégration sociale, à la création de lieux de travail et à la réduction de la pauvreté. Cette action aide à stabiliser les cycles économiques et à renforcer l’emploi local. Plusieurs régions de montagne, comme en Italie et en Autriche, ont une tradition historique et une présence significative de systèmes coopératifs. En outre, on peut constater une augmentation des coopératives en temps de crise économique (EURICSE, 2010).

    Co-Ethnics as Unwanted Others

    Intra-Group Tensions After the Fall of Communism: Causes, Consequences, and Contexts

    Much has been written about the intricacies of acceptance and integration of immigrants who are racial, ethnic and/or confessional ‘others’ in relation to host populations. There are many examples of co-ethnics’ interaction which are overtly or latently accompanied by intra-group conflict, tension and misunderstanding, but academic coverage of co-ethnics’ encounters is far less ‘mature’ in terms of conceptualization, and literature devoted to these issues is far less abundant. The pattern of peoples' interaction being studied is usually a result of various kinds of population movement provoked by serious socio-political cataclysms in the 20th and 21st centuries, including the collapse of multi-national states and the intensification of labor migration resulting from post-socialist economic transformation. Our aim is to bring together international scholars who could present results of their latest research on these topics, preferably from a comparative and/or micro-level perspective.

    Evaluation of a region’s renewable natural capital

    EPFL is offering a high-profile post-doc position

    The purpose of the post-doc research is to test and possibly validate the feasibility and relevance of ecosystem capital accounts (SCEEA-CEC) or, said differently, the contribution of natural capital to productive systems, in a regional context (the Rhone river basin). The approach should cover the following aspects: availability, collection and processing of geographic and monitoring data and statistics, relevance of the assessments in natural and social sciences, relevance of the information tools ability to support the regulatory and economic instruments of environmental governance of institutional and territorial spaces.

    Symbols and Models of the Mediterranean

    The Mediterranean Sea is a milieu in which it is possible to observe, through an interdisciplinary lens, the undertaking of elements defining an idea which conflicts with its immediate sensitive aspect; an idea that arises from life situations and the imaginary world of every man. Nevertheless, it remains a context in which is possible to observe the presence and the constant use of historical symbols, patterns and models of those people inhabiting its shores, as embedded in both the artistic and material production, as well as in the literary one.

    Living in European Borderlands - International Workshop

    Borderlands studies look beyond the historical facticity of territorial borders by reflecting their porousness and the actual processes of their crossing and maintenance. We invite scholars from anthropology, sociology, human geography, history and related fields working on European borderlands to present their research on everyday practices and experiences of living in a borderland. Papers can be empirical and/or conceptual relating to: dwelling, work and consumption, identity constructions, cross-border suburbanisation and urban/rural relations in borderlands. We are particularly interested in work on conceptual and methodological problems and in comparative and historical approaches.

    Esclavage en Afrique : histoire, héritages et actualité

    Conférence internationale organisée à Nairobi (Kenya) 27, 28 et 29 octobre 2014

    En Afrique, les séquelles de la traite et de l'esclavage sont encore vivaces et on ne peut douter de leur poids dans les relations entretenues par les différentes composantes de la société et de la construction des États-nations contemporains. Les héritages sont nombreux, diversifiés, douloureux parfois et extrêmement sensibles. D'une façon générale, la question de la mémoire de l'esclavage et de sa mise en patrimoine est maîtresse dans le monde atlantique ainsi que dans les sociétés insulaires de l'océan Indien qui ont été façonnées par une économie de plantations. Alors que les voix de la mémoire percent dans des pays comme le Sénégal ou le Bénin, elles émergent seulement en Afrique de l'Est à l'heure actuelle. L’exigence de mémoire ainsi que la transmission des savoirs liés aux esclavages est au cœur de ce colloque et devrait permettre d'alimenter les débats nationaux qui continuent de surgir à l'heure actuelle.
