Articulations of Subjectivity and Objectivity in the Modern Middle East, North Africa, South and Southeast Asia

International Summer Academy, 11-19 September 2014 at the Orient-Institut Beirut. This Summer Academy offers early-career scholars an opportunity to follow up on the debates about modernity, its preconditions and its aftermath by focusing on the multifarious processes in which societies outside Europe have adopted, translated, rejected or produced the global, the modern and tradition since the seventeenth century. It places a specific focus on the notions of subjectivity and objectivity as discursive practices which are intrinsically linked to each other.

Climatic change, air quality and energy challenges: the role policy in urban transport and preventative measures in developing countries and emerging economies

Transport is an integral component of sustaining livelihoods: without efficient urban transport mankind would not survive and develop and nor would economies. Yet, despite the immense benefits that transport enables, such as access to jobs, markets, education, and consumer goods and services via global supply chains, the transport sector generates substantial disbenefits. These include dependence on non-renewable energy, greenhouse gas emissions, local pollutions, road accidents and inequalities of access. Such disbenefits clearly demonstrate that the transport sector is currently unsustainable economically, environmentally and socially.

Amazighs and the turmoil of the Arab Spring

Issues and perspectives for the Berber peoples in North Africa

Ce panel s’intéressera au mouvement de revendication identitaire et linguistique berbère. Dans toute l’Afrique du Nord, la revendication culturelle amazighe articule toute une série d’acteurs collectifs. La structuration organisationnelle, la trajectoire, les répertoires d’actions et le pouvoir de se faire entendre de ces derniers varient selon les situations nationales tandis que se développent un discours et des références idéologiques communes, pan-amazighes. Les mobilisations en Kabylie, la participation des Amazighes au mouvement du 20 Février au Maroc, l’irruption sur la scène politique berbère de forces armées en Libye, l’émergence d’une revendication amazighe en Tunisie s’ajoutent à une extension des revendications culturelles et linguistiques à des domaines comme l’environnement et la gestion des ressources économiques locales. Par ailleurs on assiste à une montée en visibilité des jeunes lors des mobilisations récentes. Le panel se proposera donc de discuter des thèmes en relation avec cette évolution.

Literature, art and the contemporary world: accounts, history, memory

Parallèlement à l’évolution de la critique littéraire qui revient à considérer aujourd’hui l’objet littéraire à l’intérieur du contexte historique et politique de sa production, l’une des tendances de la littérature postmoderne consiste à mettre en scène des histoires individuelles dans leurs relations avec les événements collectifs. Au Liban en particulier, face à ce qui est vécu comme une amnésie collective entreprise depuis 1990, sponsorisée et entretenue par l’État et la volonté de reconstruction, tandis que des travaux mettent au contraire l’accent sur le travail du deuil et de l’oubli qu’ils envisagent comme une pratique nécessaire par laquelle le passé est interrogé et le présent confronté, artistes, cinéastes et romanciers se donnent pour mission de raconter et de réactiver les processus qui permettent de comprendre le passé refoulé, mobilisant pour ce faire les paradigmes du récit et de la mémoire, voire questionnant et bouleversant l’usage de ces derniers. Ce colloque se donne pour objectif de donner à voir, dans le cadre d’une approche interdisciplinaire (esthétique, historique, sociologique, philosophique, psychologique ou narratologique) comment littérature et arts interagissent face à ces problématiques communes.

Beyond soft power: The stakes and configurations of the influence of contemporary Turkey in the world

This workshop will explore the theme of Turkish political and cultural influence in the world, exploring scientific debates on the topic of “soft power” and its applicability to contemporary Turkey. This workshop aims at raising several questions: To what extent is the concept of “soft power” adequate to characterize Turkey’s influence and its weaknesses both on the international stage and towards its neighboring countries? Reciprocally, how can the analysis of the different patterns of Turkey’s influence help us question the concept of “soft power”, and to come up with other notions?

Comparative approaches to capital punishment

Les paradigmes de la recherche en histoire ont été marqués, depuis un certain temps déjà, par l’exigence de réflexivité, de comparaison et de croisement des sociétés et des cultures. Le XXII^e congrès du comité international des sciences historiques (CISH) nous paraît constituer une opportunité particulièrement bien choisie pour réfléchir à la peine capitale et aux rituels de son exécution entre le XVIII^e et la première moitié du XX^e siècle, moment charnière à plus d’un titre pour le droit occidental et oriental.

Light in the Religions of the Book: A Multidisciplinary Approach

If light is a valuable tool for the development of buildings, it also meets the requirements of practical and functional needs. Beyond its purely aesthetic role, it is indeed a way to delineate the space and to organize its occupation by defining spatialities and temporalities adapted to the functions of the building. In order to assess the significance of spatial and temporal dimensions of light, a cross-reading of architectural, archaeological, textual and iconographic sources might be particularly fruitful. The theme of light which, somewhat complex, constitutes a privileged entry point not only to the study of man's relationship to space and the sacred, but also to the development – within or between monotheisms – of influences, exchanges, ruptures, continuities and legacies. The goal of the conference is to explore the theme of light in the East and in the West, during the Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages, in a transdisciplinary perspective and within five thematic panels.

Not All Quiet on the Ottoman Fronts

Neglected Perspectives on a Global War, 1914-18

As World War I was the central founding experience of the twentieth century and thus needs to be discussed in relation to various segments of society and on several levels, we believe that its 100th anniversary is the appropriate moment to bring together recent research on the Ottoman theater of the war based on the various traditions of this new military history established in the last 30 years and assess where we stand today in our knowledge of the World War and where we are headed. We therefore invite papers that develop existing approaches and questions to a further level. On this basis these papers will aid us in entering into a comparative, and where possible transnational, perspective of the war.
