Table ronde autour de l’ouvrage collectif « Gaza, une guerre coloniale »
La guerre déclenchée à Gaza après le 7 octobre 2023 s’inscrit dans une continuité qui n’implique pas seulement la bande de Gaza mais également le reste de la Palestine historique, ainsi que les sociétés alentour, de longue date concernées par l’actualité palestinienne. De quoi la guerre actuelle à Gaza est-elle le nom ou l’apogée ? Quels processus et quelles logiques, poussés à leur terme, sont-ils à l’œuvre dans les massacres en cours ?

The Mixed Courts of Egypt, 1876-1949
Between imperial internationalism and shared legal knowledge
How did the Mixed Courts of Egypt impact legal knowledge and societies on both sides of the Mediterranean? 150 years after these once highly influential institutions heard their first cases, the Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory will dedicate a workshop to this question.

Enquêter avec les images : les trajectoires probatoires de la vidéo
Rencontre PROFIL 3
L’objet du programme PROFIL (procès filmés) de cette troisième rencontre est de questionner l’élaboration de la preuve par l’image, et principalement par la vidéo, dans différents contextes d’enquêtes et de documentation (judiciaires, mémoriaux ou scientifiques) propres à des conflits armés (depuis les crimes commis en Bosnie-Herzégovine ou au Rwanda dans les années 90 jusqu’aux derniers crimes de guerre commis en Syrie et en Ukraine) mais aussi à des actes de terrorisme ou des violences policières. Cette approche pluridisciplinaire permettra de diversifier les regards sur les expériences historiques et/ou judiciaires, sur les pratiques passées et/ou actuelles à partir d’ analyses d’universitaires ou de professionnels du droit.

Philosophy and the National Question
Taking as its starting point the idea of “philosophical nationalism” proposed by Jacques Derrida, this seminar aims to question the way in which different national and nationalist discourses have accompanied both the construction of modern philosophical historiography and the development of comparative or intercultural philosophy. The division of the world into “philosophical nations” still constitutes today the starting point of any comparative effort and leads to making the “dialogue between traditions” a discourse tending to legitimize national ideologies.

Lexis, framing, timings, 19th‒21st century in the Middle East
Is preaching consubstantial with crisis? Did the different religious traditions present in the Middle East come to grip with the notion of crisis during the contemporary period? This workshop examines the similarities and divergences between preaching endeavours by the different religious traditions and the transformations in religious discourse in the Middle East from the end of the 19th century onwards. Through a comparative and diachronic analysis, it aims to identify what "constitutes a crisis" for particular religious actors at a given moment in the contemporary history of the Middle East (e.g. military defeat, feelings of inferiority vis-à-vis Europe, demographic decline of a given religious group, secularisation of institutions, rise of atheism, etc.)

Trauma et création artistique : l’engagement des artistes arabes dans des dynamiques de résilience
Le colloque vise à ouvrir la réflexion à des productions culturelles et/ou artistiques des cultures méditerranéennes en reconfiguration. Ces corpus seront représentatifs des contacts et des croisements entre artistes européens et arabes, immigrés ou non, dans des environnements artistiques désormais mondialisés. Les interventions mettront au jour, dans une perspective interdisciplinaire et/ou multidisciplinaire, les formes esthétiques, tant novatrices que réadaptées, les modes contemporains et les nouveaux motifs d’engagement méditerranéen et arabe, d’en analyser les effets ainsi que les questions de la distanciation ou de la non-distanciation, de la mise en forme de ces œuvres artistiques et de leur adaptation aux publics. Il s’agira enfin de comprendre comment sont transmis ces discours artistiques, parfois militants (traumartivisme), toujours engagés, relatifs à des questions de société et donc susceptibles d’impliquer différents types de publics, initiés ou non.

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.

Implosion des empires et frontières
1914-2024
Le XXe siècle a vu l’écroulement brutal de trois empires dont les signes de faiblesse étaient cependant de plus en plus évidents : l'empire austro-hongrois, l'empire ottoman puis l'URSS. La première guerre mondiale a été fatale au camp des vaincus parmi lesquels se trouvaient les deux premiers. Ces opérations de dislocation, les deux premières datant d’un siècle, la troisième plus récente, ont laissé derrière elles des bombes à retardement dont certaines ont contribué au désordre international, voire aux guerres d’aujourd’hui. Le retour des guerres balkaniques, l’agression russe contre l’Ukraine et la Géorgie, le conflit du Haut Karabakh, la question palestinienne et la guerre à Gaza ont leurs racines dans la façon dont ont été tracées « des lignes dans le sable » lors de l’implosion des empires. Comprendre les motivations des politiques qui ont démantelé les empires et envisager les autres scénarios qui auraient été possibles permettrait-il d’apaiser les conflits potentiels ou actifs d’aujourd’hui ?

Women, Leadership and Armed Groups in Africa and the Middle East
Journal of Gender Studies
This special issue of Journal of Gender Studies focuses on the role of women in leadership positions in militias and defense groups, paying special attention on Africa and the Middle East to measure the empirical variation between different terrains of inquiry to be analysed through two different theorical frameworks: the Gendered Theory of Rebellion and the Donminant/Power Theory. The rationale for the special issue is the attempt to analyse and evaluate the experience of women in leadership positions, their motivations for violence and the degree to which their decision-making and influence in the perpetration of violence impacts their definition of feminity.

Artistic Censorship and the Creation of Israel (1948-1967)
This article discusses the artistic censorship of German and Germany in Israel between 1948-1967. During these years, with various fluctuations, the Israeli Film and Theatre Review Board, the agency in charge of artistic censorship, actively censored films, plays and concerts in German. Relying on previously undiscussed archival data, the article tracks the contours of this censorship, from its adoption upon the establishment of the state, to its eventual demise after full diplomatic relations were established between Israel and West Germany.

Music in the Middle East after the digital revolution
Journal “Regards”
This issue of the journal Regards (Université Saint-Joseph de Beyrouth) proposes to investigate the dynamics of musical production and forms of dissemination in the contemporary Near East, particularly through the do it yourself practices that have emerged with the advent of home studios and low-cost listening platforms. The challenge of such a study is thus to confront the different aesthetics of today's music, blending diverse intellectual and cultural heritages, mobilizing the affects of nostalgia and those linked to the historical realities shared by the region's inhabitants. The question of understanding the articulation of musical dynamics with social, political and state boundaries and different contexts of conflict will be explored.

Conference, symposium - Sociology
Le simple fait de « traverser les frontières » peut transformer la migration ou l’exil en question de sécurité internationale, mais c’est aussi à l’échelle nationale que se situent les enjeux politiques de la migration. La migration et l’asile y soulèvent des questions d’intégration, d’altérité et de diversité culturelle qui sont largement sous-étudiées dans les contextes non occidentaux, et ce en dépit de nouvelles recherches empiriques menées. Il s’agit dans ce colloque de dépasser le biais occidentalo-centré des études migratoires, pour offrir des approches et des analyses issues de cette région. Ce colloque ambitionne de saisir la diversité des dynamiques migratoires et leurs effets sur les sociétés arabes qui ont souvent été perçues comme le théâtre de phénomènes migratoires « exceptionnels ». Loin de subir les migrations, les États arabes se sont montrés à plusieurs égards très actifs dans leurs gestions de la mobilité qu’elle soit forcée ou volontaire. Ils le sont aussi lorsqu’ils ont imposé un contrôle accru sur leurs migrants, ou leurs citoyens vivant à l’étranger.

Religious Conversions. Believing and Doing on the Move in the Mediterranean Area
This issue looks at religion in terms of its ability to mobilise institutions, groups and individuals around plural dynamics that contribute to the redefinition of the religious field itself. It looks at religious conversion through the prism of multidirectional and communicating trajectories, ’bifurcations’ in which movements of diversions, decentering and return to the self come together. Religious conversion is understood here beyond the dualistic categorisation of rupture and continuity. This leads us to think of it not simply as an opaque process of religious disaffiliation and affiliation, but as a movement from self to self, involving a constant tension of negotiation between reconfiguration of the ways in which people believe and do religion, and the significance of the identities and sensibilities of individuals in a given social environment.
