ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! »
3: Texts, images and contexts of use (January-June 2019)
The ERC MAP Seminar « Noms de dieux ! » 3: “Texts, images and contexts of use” pursues the investigation on the systems of naming of the divine by privileging two main issues: the contexts of enunciation and the imaging of "divine onomastic attributes". While the session program focuses on the Greek and Western Semitic worlds (in the broad sense), it aims to propose case studies as well as theoretical proposals. Dossiers will be presented dealing in particular with questions related to translation strategies, proper names, the plurality of the divine, interactions between names and images, in various contexts of use: dedications, curses, oaths, hymns and other forms of address.

Agrarian Modernization, a global transboundary process that generates local asymmetries
4th International Conference of the European Organisation for Rural History (EURHO)
This panel wants to analyze the technology transference during Agrarian Modernization and point its inpact at the socio-environmental level from a comparative and connected global perspective. The geopolitical context and the social reality of the different regions where it expanded were quite different, as well as the interest of local elites. Therefore, the effects of this cultural and technological package differed according to the diverse geographical, environmental, economic and social particularities where it spread. Although this process has allowed the connection between the spaces of production and consumption, it ignored local particularities. And had and enormous social cost, as broad rural sectors have been excluded and have become urban poors.

The movements of education in the dynamics of reconfiguration of public action
Le séminaire des doctorants du LLE (Le Laboratoire de l'Education) « Les mouvements de l'éducation dans les dynamiques de reconfiguration de l'action publique » (2018-2019) sera consacré à l'appréhension des « mouvements » de l'éducation dans le contexte des reconfigurations contemporaines de l'action publique. Les interventions permettront d'interroger les changements curriculaires, les formes éducatives en émergence dans le cadre du développement de nouvelles modalités de régulation des politiques éducatives (infra, supra et inter-nationales). L'objectif est de pouvoir engager une réflexion sur la valeur heuristique du croisement des approches entre les analyses de l'action publique et la sociologie de l'éducation.

The proposal relates the renewal of the local scale at the age of globalization, within the world-system, commonly portrayed through the glorification of global cities. For decades, those lasts were regarded as independent from local, regional and national contingencies; they turned out to be vulnerable to shrinking process, a symptom of the global economic change of order and the inadequacy of policies to cope with different scales of interactions: the glocal.

Conference, symposium - Geography
European Conference on Risk Perception
Behaviour, Management and Response
The actual behaviour of individuals and government entities before, during, and immediately after a disaster can dramatically affect the impact, vulnerability, recovery time and resilience. Despite decades of research on disaster risk and perception, studies on actual damages and responses after disasters, decision-making tools, and actionable knowledge of the actual behaviour of the populations are still a challenge. Uncertainty derives from lack of information, lack of trust, alternatives, previous experience, but also segregation, oppression, etc. This conference is addressing the knowledge gap between risk perception, evacuation, response, and adaptation behaviour. It aims to build a multidisciplinary panoramic European view.

The Writ of Dynasties and Nation-States in the Middle East and South Asia
Max Weber famously argued that states lay claim to the monopoly of the legitimate use of violence over certain circumscribed territories. However, historical and anthropological research has challenged his ideal-typical vision by showing how the idea of the unitary state is a fiction that can only be produced through the action of interrelated but partly autonomous agents. States, and the various institutions that constitute them, face the strategic task of identifying and domesticating the social networks that are necessary for them to secure control over particular territories and their populations. Local strongmen and notables can in turn use their own local influence in order to gain recognition from higher-level, more powerful, state institutions. In this international conference, scholars from a variety of disciplines will explore the ways in which dynastic power and/or the rule of the state is asserted, negotiated and contested across both the Middle East and South Asia.

Conception, birth and childhood
“New Comparative Mythology” Journal, 5
New Comparative Mythology, a peer-reviewed journal of comparative mythology with an international editorial board, issues, for its fifth volume, a call for papers on the topic “conception, birth and childhood”. In many mythologies, these three initial phases of the existence of divine, heroic, monstrous and other figures have given rise to many traditions. In addition, various beliefs and practices, which are lent legendary or mythical precedents, also rhythm this period which goes from the fertilization to the edge of the initiatory phase of the individuals. It is on the comparative study of this vast field of research that the articles submitted to our review will have to relate.

Le programme MisSMO analyse les missions chrétiennes au regard des évolutions culturelles et sociales qui ont traversé le Moyen-Orient depuis la fin du XIXe siècle. L’un des objectifs de ce programme consiste à renouveler l’approche du fait missionnaire en combinant les méthodes historique et ethnologique, de sorte à analyser de manière concommitente tant les définitions et les modalités de l’action missionnaire, que leur réception sur le plan local, ainsi que leurs déploiements sur le terrain. Une telle démarche implique la mobilisation de sources originales, dans des langues diverses, mais aussi des méthodologies innovantes (enquêtes orales, enregistrement sonores,archives photographiques, captations vidéo, etc.). Afin de sensibiliser et de former les doctorants à ces méthodologies et de les encourager à adopter une approche pluridisciplinaire, une école d’été est organisée en 2019 par l’équipe coordinatrice de MisSMO en collaboration avec des spécialistes internationaux du fait missionnaire.

Call for papers - Epistemology and methodology
Doing with and for: how researchers position themselves in research into action?
From terrain to epistemology
Recherche-action, recherche partenariale, recherche intervention, co-recherche, etc., ces méthodes de recherche impliquent des relations de coopération entre des chercheur·ses et des acteur·trices au sein des organisations, ce qui interroge la posture du chercheur ou de la chercheuse et le statut de la production des connaissances. Ces modes de recherche consistent à co-construire le problème de recherche et à co-produire des connaissances dans une perspective de transformation sociale. Nous échangerons lors de cette journée sur les questionnements et enjeux relatifs à la posture de recherche et aux modalités de production du savoir dans le cadre de recherche en action, à partir de communications et de retours d’expérience de jeunes chercheur·ses, ainsi qu’à partir de tables rondes réunissant des conférencier·es et des acteur·trices d’entreprises engagées dans ces démarches.

Schalten und walten. Towards Operative Ontologies
IKKM Biennial Conference 2019
The conference will conclude the IKKM six-year research program on ‘Operative Ontologies’. A term seeming contradictory at first, it assumes that everything that exists is not simply present or given but has been called into being through media and their operations in the most general sense: The ruling (das Walten) of nature as well as the ruling of the social reside under the command of technology, which as increasingly digitized technology is based on switching operations (das Schalten) — e.g. the achievements of bioengineering or the computational models of planet Earth. When embodied operations establish ontological orders and the difference between the ontic and the ontological thus re-enters the ontic, this demands a radical remodeling of ontology. The IKKM Biennial Conference 2019 therefore investigates the given with regard to the procedures through which it has been made possible, produced, set up, brought into the world and called into being — “switched on” — in the first place.

Dès l’origine, le voyage est-il attaché à la rencontre avec l’autre. Tout d’abord, il repose sur la découverte de l’art et attise l’émotion esthétique en faisant naître le sentiment de la nécessité de voir de ses propres yeux les trésors de l’ailleurs. Ce sera la motivation essentielle des voyageurs du XVIIIe siècle, heureux jeunes gens de l’aristocratie anglaise, puis allemande et française qui partent pour un Grand Tour en direction de l’Italie, de la France et de l’Espagne pour les plus intrépides. À cela s’ajoute la notion d’altérité, de différance (Derrida) que Victor Segalen a induit dans son Essai sur l’exotisme et qui accompagne toujours la rencontre de l’autre, si proche et si différent. Les arts et la littérature reflètent aussi ces évolutions tant dans les récits que dans les sujets représentés ou les influences d’un pays à l’autre.

Accumulations and accelerations - technical and affective thrills
Les emballements techniques et affectifs
Les injonctions courantes de faire plus et plus vite suscitent des dispositifs techniques de plus en plus puissants, à la fois de par leur performance matérielle et grâce à leur force de séduction. Ainsi, l’« intelligence artificielle », pourtant aussi idiote que tout autre processus machinal, fait rêver, et la possible fabrication industrielle de bébés permettrait de satisfaire un nouveau « droit à l‘enfant »...
