    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.

    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.

    Conference, symposium - America

    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.

    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.
