Indigenous Peoples and Mobility

Nomopolis journal will be devoting issue no. 3 to the mobility of indigenous peoples.This issue remains one of the areas to be explored within a growing body of indigenous research in the social sciences. Its importance is demonstrated by the decision of the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the rights of Indigenous Peoples to devote his latest report to the United Nations General Assembly to this issue. This is the first systematic global study of the situation of mobile indigenous peoples. However, this situation represents only one aspect of the broader issue of the relationship between mobility and indigenous peoples, which also raises questions about the situation of those for whom mobility is not a way of life.

Au fil de l’eau et du temps

Spatialité et diachronie de la gestion de l’eau en Méditerranée

The conference organised on 28 and 29 November 2024 as part of Marina Covolan's CIVIS3i SeBNA - Water distribution systems in the ancient world: forms of continuity, permanence and subsistence in contemporary society, focuses on the supply, storage and disposal of water over the centuries. The aim is to compare technologies, structures and knowledge that are distant in time and space, but which seem to recur and have many points in common. Around a dozen French and European colleagues from Scotland, Spain, Italy and Sweden will be taking part, covering a wide range of subjects and fields. There will also be a poster session, mainly by young researchers working on current projects or PhD.

What is an eco-cultural niche? Rethinking the shape of eco-cultural niches

This workshop aims at bringing together ecologists, anthropologists, environmentalists and archaeologists, in order to discuss the definition of eco-cultural niches, a concept that was first proposed by Banks et al. 2006. Significant time will be given to open discussions in order to co-create a new theoritical framework for the analysis of human-environment macro-relationships in the past, using the approach of eco-cultural niche modeling. All scholars (students, teachers, researchers,...) interested in this approach can participate to the meeting and discussions.

Knowledge from the margins, marginal knowledge?

Sources, scope, and legitimacy of critical economic knowledge

The study of economic knowledge and its political influence has largely focused on central sites of power and on its academic production. This conference seeks to broaden that perspective by examining marginalized economic knowledge and the dynamics of its (de-)marginalization. It will specifically address the development of lay or relegated economic theories and practices, considering their logic of legitimation, the actors, spaces, and actions that generate them, and their relative autonomy. The conference will concentrate on the long twentieth century and welcomes proposals from all disciplines within the humanities and social sciences.

Crises of political legitimation and recompositions of forms of authoritarianism in post-2011 North Africa

Workshop - 6th Congress of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies

Some fourteen years after the Arab Spring, two observations need to be made. On the one hand, the current situation in the region is far from being in line with the hopes for democratization and justice that gave rise to the popular uprisings of 2011. On the other hand, the political dynamics underway in several countries (Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco) are marked by a return –or the emergence of new forms– of authoritarianism, associated or not with a rise in populism. We invite contributions that address the processes of authoritarian restoration or takeover through a variety of thematic entries and disciplinary approaches (political science, sociology, economics, anthropology, etc.).

L’industrie agroalimentaire, levier de la sécurité alimentaire et de la diversification économique

The agri-food industry, a lever for food security and economic diversification

Ce colloque international se propose d’étudier une thématique d’actualité sur « l’industrie agroalimentaire, levier de la sécurité alimentaire et de la diversification économique ». L’économie algérienne étant fortement dépendante des revenus générés par le secteur des hydrocarbures, sa diversification s’avère une option inéluctable. L’appui sur les secteurs stratégiques, parmi lesquels l’agriculture et l’industrie agroalimentaire, contribueront à réduire, de façon significative et à terme, le déséquilibre de la balance commerciale et d’en assurer la sécurité alimentaire.

On the Roads of Arabia: Itineraries by Land and Sea

From the Bronze Age to the Islamic Period

Perspectives historiques et comparées sur les enjeux politiques, juridiques et sociaux des questions palestinienne et sahraouie

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.

Territory(ies) and Gender(s) in the Americas

This international colloquium explores the links between gender(s) and territory(ies) in the geographical space of the Americas — or Abya Yala — from pre-Hispanic times to the present day. The plurality of the Americas, whether linguistic, political, or cultural, requires intersecting perspectives and approaches. This colloquium offers a multi- and interdisciplinary dialogue drawing from anthropology, sociology, literature, history, geography, political science, archaeology, and arts. It analyzes the dynamics of gender and territory from decolonial and intersectional perspectives.

Unwriting with Photography : Collaborative and Visual Anthropology

Le concept d’« unwriting » invite à repenser la transmission des savoirs en ethnologie en dehors du cadre traditionnel de l’écriture scientifique. Nous proposons d’explorer comment les approches dialogiques (Bakhtine, 1970 ; Turri Hoelken, 2024), visuelles et artistiques peuvent constituer des manières alternatives de raconter des histoires, en travaillant de façon collaborative avec les interlocuteur·ices tout au long du processus de recherche.

Impossible consolation ? Paradoxes et échecs d’une notion en débat de l’Antiquité à nos jours

Face aux fléaux en tous genres qui ont coutume de s’abattre sur le genre humain, les Grecs et Romains faisaient volontiers appel aux méthodes des orateurs et aux arguments des philosophes. Avec l’invention du christianisme, la religion s’est appropriée cette mission en recyclant les méthodes anciennes par la perspective d’un au-delà rédempteur. Dès l’Antiquité toutefois, les méthodes consolatoires et les discours visant à soulage la peine sont discutés et parfois même remis en cause. Le colloque se propose d’examiner l’expression de ces résistances et de ces échecs, qui, à chaque époque, invitent à repenser les modalités de la relation à autrui et à interroger le statut de la consolation.

Bound Histories

Memories, Materialities, and Meanings of Photo Albums

This special issue of Photographica aims to foster reflections on both the history of albums and the ways in which they can be read and studied. What are the different ways of understanding photo albums? Should they be considered as objects with a “social” or a “cultural biography” in the sense of the anthropologists Arjun Appadurai and Igor Kopytoff? In what ways do they represent one of the richest objects of investigation for the history of photography, and what do they reveal about photographic practices?

The Project “African Continental Free Trade Area” of CUCA (AfCFTA-CUCA)

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) represents a decisive project and a fundamental dynamic in the economic and commercial life of Africa. It is at once a vision, an ambition, a program, an articulation, a regulation, an action plan, and a networking of the economic assets and commercial opportunities of the continent's states. As we know, in its conception and preliminary orientations, AfCFTA is part of the strategy for materializing and implementing Agenda 2063 drawn up by the African Union.

Secularization of religious assets in Enlightened Europe: urban development, architecture and art works.

The suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773 marks the last step of the Order’s progressive dissolution initiated fifteen years earlier, in Europe and in its colonies. This act of suppression was the culmination of a broader secularisation movement concerning religious congregations across Europe, from the 1760s to the French Revolution. Several studies have already investigated the dispersal of abolished congregations’ assets in different parts of Enlightened Europe, but a broader overview is yet to be drawn. Furthermore, it is necessary to define common characteristics of confiscation procedures and real properties’ functional transformations during the three decades before the nationalisation of Church property undertaken in France in 1789.

City symphonies after the city symphony

Loin d’être un genre anecdotique dans l’histoire du cinéma, limité à une poignée de films célèbres – Manhatta (1921), Rien que les heures (1926), Berlin : Symphonie d’une grande ville (1927), Pluie (1929), L’homme à la caméra (1929), À propos de Nice (1930) – la symphonie urbaine a continué de susciter l’engouement de nombreux cinéastes à travers le monde du début des années 1930 à nos jours. La symphonie urbaine se caractérise par une absence d’intrigue, de rythme narratif et de personnages, et une structure empruntée aux mouvements de symphonies orchestrales. Cette journée d’étude vise à s’interroger sur l’héritage des symphonies urbaines dans le cinéma postérieur aux années 1930.

The intimate and the public

The face in 18th and 19th century public sculpture in France and in the German sphere

This study day devoted to sculpture will focus on one element in particular: the face. As an essential part of the sculpted figure, the face has the dual role of enabling identification and expression. This dual role became more apparent in the 18th and 19th centuries, with the rise of portraiture, as well as the interest in the inner self and more broadly, the intimate. The aim of this exhibition is to draw a parallel between two contradictory concepts : the intimate and the public. As sculpture is the art par excellence of the public space, the aim is to confront the face, which is intimate, with the imperatives of public sculpture. The aim of this study day is to examine the representation of the face in Franco-German public sculpture in the 18th and 19th centuries, analysing its theories, practices, techniques, possible typologies and the way it is perceived by the viewer.
