Queering Friendship | citizenship, care and choice
Intimate Final Conference
Contrary to individualization theories that suggest the impoverishment of human relationships, theories of relationality recognize the increasing centrality of informal networks of solidarity and care. In this debate, friendship plays a fundamental role. The mutual implications of intimacy and citizenship need to be addressed, exploring the extent to which issues of LGBTQ friendship matter (or not) in being recognized as citizens. The centrality of friendship is even more striking when considering personal lives of trans and non-binary people, but also lesbian women, gay men and bisexual people, LGBTQ migrants and other intersecting, vulnerable groups. In particular, the way transgender people actively provide and receive different care between friends offers invaluable contributions to political debates and conceptual discussions around friendship and care as a key aspect of LGBTQ everyday life. Unveiling the richness of the blurred spaces of intimacy, the ways in which LGBTQ people produce alternatives to family-based forms of cohabitation are also of critical importance. LGBTQ lived experiences further contribute to destabilizing the family/friends and public/private binaries, whilst challenging heterocisnormative expectations about who legitimately belongs to the intimate sphere and who remains excluded and/or invisible.

Thinking environments in the humanties and social sciences
Qu’il soit naturel, social, familial, artistique, intellectuel ou numérique, l’environnement semble transcender, par sa polysémie, les champs disciplinaires. Par-delà la connotation écologiste, fruit d’une médiatisation croissante — à l’image des débats récents autour de la COP 21 —, l’idée même d’environnement sous-tend un ensemble de questionnements que les sciences humaines et sociales tentent aujourd’hui d’appréhender. Se plaçant dans ce sillage, la journée organisée par les jeunes chercheurs du laboratoire TELEMME a pour ambition d’explorer la richesse de cette notion.

Multi-ethnic cities in the Mediterranean world
History, culture, heritage
This meeting aims to foster a discussion about the continuities and disruptions which have conditioned the multi-ethnic dimension of Mediterranean cities. We would like to focus on the specificities of places and time in our millennial history that have produced both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. We would like to broaden the traditional horizons of our disciplines under the issues of our times, questioning the role of historical research and the forms of scientific communication nowadays, when old practices seem more challenged than ever by the overwhelming expansion of new technologies.

Denominations and modes of representation of Egyptian imagery
2nd Egyptology study day devoted to the reading of images
Après avoir étudié la relation qui, dans l'art égyptien, unit l'image et l'écriture, la deuxième journée d'études consacrée à la lecture de l'image égyptienne portera cette année sur les dénominations et les modes de représentation, autant d'éléments qui permettent, entre autres, de déterminer la nature et la fonction des images reproduites dans les contextes sacrés que sont la tombe et le temple.

No country for anthropologists?
Contemporary ethnographic research in the Middle East
Many parts of the contemporary Middle East are confronted with war, sectarianism, transnational interferences, uprisings, and a comeback of authoritarian regimes. This brings about various difficulties for ethnographic research as a practice of knowledge production based on the immersion of researchers in given social contexts and the subsequent writing up and publishing of texts. The international conference No country for anthropologists? Contemporary ethnographic research in the Middle East explores the obstacles to do ethnography in the Middle East and take them as the starting point for reflection upon the role of anthropology with a view to the Middle East of today.

Of the visible and invisible in the manufacture of the city and urban studies
Epistemological and critical perspectives
Cet appel à textes de la revue Territoire en mouvement s’appuie sur plusieurs hypothèses. Tout d’abord, bien des objets ou processus invisibles pourraient encore être mis en lumière pour ce qu’ils contribuent à la fabrique et au fonctionnement de la ville. D’autre part, considérant que ce qui est visible ou invisible ne l’est pas de fait, mais résulte de choix (in)conscients, la dualité visible/invisible comme clé de lecture permettrait d’interroger les processus de visibilisation et d’invisibilisation, et donc les rapports de forces à l’œuvre entre objets ou acteurs (institutionnels ou profanes). Cette perspective analytique est à même de mettre en lumière les valeurs qui concourent aujourd’hui, d’une part à la fabrique de la ville et d’autre part, à la production de la recherche urbaine de l’autre.

Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
In the television age, health and the body have been broadcasted in many ways: in short health education films, school television, professional training materials, TV ads, documentaries, reality TV shows and news, as well as stand-alone videos distributed to specific audiences. This three-day conference proposes an exploration of how television formats have influenced and staged bodies, health and healthy practices from local, regional, national and international perspectives, and how these TV programmes spread the conviction that viewers could and should invest in their health and shape their own body.

Difference, diversity, diffraction: confronting hegemonies and dispossessions
10th European Feminist Research Conference
The overall theme of the conference is “Difference, Diversity, Diffraction: Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions”, which refers to a topic central to Gender Studies: the social construction of difference and inequality on the one hand, and the recognition of marginalised experiences and subject positions on the other. In the face of growing right-wing populist movements, anti-feminist and anti-queer backlash, forced migration, austerity and climate change, these concerns take on renewed relevance. The subtitle “Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions” is a call to reflect on, challenge and defy the hierarchies, subjugations and deprivations that are linked to structural differentiations and to find affirmative ways of dealing with difference , diversity and diffraction. The conference is committed to promoting a feminist anti-racist accessible space for all genders.

Call for papers - Representation
Cartographical and topological identities
La carte symbolise le problème de la relation identitaire du sujet face à la diversité et la complexité de l'espace. Cette relation invoque le paradoxe de notre condition postmoderne. Le besoin d'ancrage dans des espaces multimensionnels, multifonctionnels, trans-historiques, aux frontières parfois fluctuantes, met en exergue la nécessité d'établir de nouvelles cartographies et topologies identitaires prenant en compte le recul les limites du champ de la perception humaine. Dans quelle mesure la relation à ce type d'espace influe-t-elle sur nos modes de vie ? Comment la carte et ses représentations topologiques afférentes influent-elles sur notre fonctionnement mental, sociétal et esthétique ?

Conference, symposium - Geography
After three conferences that have successively sought to define and lay the foundations for territorial sciences, to go beyond disciplinary frontiers and boundaries, namely through interdisciplinary collaboration, and to explore territorial social demand, the 4th CIST conference (International College of Territorial Sciences) aims at mobilising the territorial sciences to address the question of representation. The objective of the conference, which will comprise 17 sessions, is to determine the contribution of the representational approach to the analysis of territories from a theoretical, methodological and empirical point of view.

Iconography in situ: images, supports and contexts in “Magna Graecia”
Les scènes figurées sont nombreuses en Grande Grèce, notamment sur les vases, et leur étude ancienne, étroitement liée à l’histoire du collectionnisme. C’est cependant une approche d’histoire de l’art qui a prévalue depuis le XVIIIe siècle, et prime encore parfois dans le traitement de ces sources, dont le potentiel est pourtant important pour la connaissance des cultures anciennes de l’Italie du Sud. Le développement de l’archéologie contextuelle et les avancées récentes, permises par la reconstitution méticuleuse du parcours de ces objets archéologiques porteurs d’iconographie, sont le moteur d’une réévaluation des images produites en Grande Grèce, en rapport avec leurs supports et leurs contextes. Ces trois données sont rarement disponibles conjointement et encore peu considérées au sein d’une réflexion globale.

Doctoral study day of the History of Gender group at the Centre for Historical Research
Depuis les années 1960, l’utilisation du genre comme démarche et objet d’étude a généré une définition plus fine de ce concept, qui a permis aux historien·ne·s de déconstruire l’idée d’un binarisme sexuel reposant sur la complémentarité des rôles sociaux masculins et féminins. Les rapports sociaux de sexe sont devenus l’objet de travaux universitaires, collectifs et individuels. Ils constituent un facteur d’analyse des sociétés, souvent oublié, mais qui renouvelle pleinement l’histoire sociale. Le Centre de Recherches Historiques accueille dès 1978, un groupe de chercheur.se.s travaillant sur l’histoire du genre, qui se structure, en 2007, comme axe transversal. L’objectif du groupe, en organisant cette deuxième édition d’une journée doctorale, est de développer le dialogue entre les doctorant·e·s en histoire de l’EHESS adoptant une perspective de genre dans leurs travaux.
