  Séismes en Turquie et en Syrie : quels défis pour les relations internationales et l’aide humanitaire ?

  Les séismes qui secouent la Turquie et la Syrie depuis le 6 février 2023 sont sans précédent au Moyen-Orient depuis le XII^e siècle. Dans une région déjà frappée par la guerre et les tensions régionales, l’ampleur des dégâts matériels d’une part, et le nombre de victimes qui avoisine les 50 000 morts d’autre part, focalisent l’attention médiatique et remettent le lien entre politique et action humanitaire au centre du débat. Cette table ronde vise à sortir du traitement médiatique de cette catastrophe pour interroger ce qu’ils posent comme défis aux relations internationales.

  Mediterranean Diasporas

  Settlements of Religious Minorities in Exile (16th-18th centuries)

  The monographic issue will deal with the settlements of religious minorities in their Mediterranean places of exile during the Early Modern Period. We intend to draw on two thematic issues: a colonization project, spontaneous or planned, not necessarily successful, but a testing ground of social coexistence between denizens of different origins which offers opportunities for the visibility of migrants, despite religious divergences; the mechanisms of negotiation between refugees and local authorities that favor settlements in urban or rural settings. The case studies that we are looking for will tie different religious ethnic groups (Christians, Jews, and Muslims, at least), geographic spaces (with the idea of a broad Mediterranean), and centuries (16^th-18^th).

  Enseignement des langues-cultures et inclusion, dans une perspective féministe

  Cette journée d’étude a pour ambition d’engager une réflexion collective sur les approches féministes et leurs apports pour répondre à des enjeux de cohésion sociale. Dans une visée transformative des pratiques d’enseignement et de formation dans le domaine des langues-cultures, les objectifs de cette journée sont : (i) de discuter des valeurs liées à la notion d’inclusion, liée notamment au genre et à la sexualité, en s’appuyant sur des travaux de recherche pionniers et des actions de terrain innovantes ;  (ii) de dégager à partir de cette discussion sur les valeurs - à l’instar de Tomc (2018) - des pistes pédagogiques concrètes pour une meilleure prise en compte des besoins langagiers et socioculturels spécifiques aux personnes minorées en raison de leur genre ou de leur sexualité, y compris dans une perspective intersectionnelle.

  Archéologie de la production céramique et des espaces artisanaux : regards croisés

  From the 8^th millennium BCE onwards, pottery production developed in Southwestern Asia and became a significant trait of Neolithic societies. Ceramic material is widely adopted. It represented a revolution on several scales and quickly constituted an important part of production activities. Thus, the objective of this workshop is to propose a transdisciplinary meeting about the methodologies of studying pottery manufacture sites, through examples from various contexts from prehistoric times to the contemporary period, and with a special interest in alternative approaches.

  Judas the Galilean: the Man and his Significance

  In 6 CE, while Quirinius was taking the census of Judea, the first Jewish opposition aroused against Roman presence in the region, led by a man known as Judas the Galilean (or the Gaulanite). According to Josephus, all subsequent troubles were the fact of this man. But who was Judas? Was he so important in the history? Was he even challenging Roman authorities? As usual in similar cases, the scholarly debates are endless about the man and his significance. This conference aims to survey all of the many faces of Judas in recent historiography and to discuss each evidence in order to estimate the true place of Judas in history.

  Women and Diplomacy in the Late Bronze Age

  Egypt and Ancient Near East

  Diplomatic marriages are attested in the Ancient Near East between the 3rd millennium BCE and the middle of the 1st. They took place after numerous negotiations and exchanges of gifts, and made it possible to seal or strengthen alliances with powers of the same rank or with vassal kingdoms. Thanks to the intervention of specialists of the Late Bronze Age in Egypt and the Ancient NearEast, and through the examination of textual, archaeological and iconographic sources, this symposium will analyse the place of women of the royal entourage in international relations.

  What future for Theater in the Arab World?

  Practices, movements and perspectives in the perpetuation of Theater production in the Arab World

  The ephemeral dimension of Theater is often considered as an obstacle for a pertinent account of past representations, hence the difficulty of writing the history of a practice when we cannot consider every moment of its creative process. We cannot also apprehend clearly its future. However, even if it does not pretend to predict the future, this call for papers wishes to question the long-term effects and the procedures that contribute to the perpetuation of Theatrical currents and productions in the Arab World.

  History of prehistory in Palestine – Israel

  International workshop

  Our workshop aims to shed light on the various actors and institutions who shaped the field of prehistory from the 19^th century until our days. They will allow us to grasp the establishment and development of prehistoric international and local networks on the longue durée. We encourage participants to address the socio-political and cultural contexts in which prehistory was practiced and knowledge produced. Many answers to the above questions and topics of research may be uncovered in personal, institutional, and administrative archives, while others are revealed in excavation reports. This brings us to the last section of our workshop: what sources for the history of Prehistory and how can they be used? Has the writing of a renewed history of the discipline affected today’s research and how?

  Intimacies under Tension from, and In, the Arab-Muslim Worlds

  Since the advent of the affective turn, when the humanities and social sciences began to pay increased attention to the objectification of emotions, studies on the “intimate” have increased exponentially. As an analytical category, intimacy allows to question dominant and normative visions of the private and the public spheres, and to understand how they are reproduced, challenged, and/or transgressed. Intimacy can therefore be considered as a political process. By encouraging the exploration of new methods of field research, this issue of L’Année du Maghreb is also opening up to “alternative” forms of ethnographic restitution.

The aim of the conference is to study these crime dramas in their historical contexts of production and reception and to reflect on the multiple dimensions – narrative, cultural, social, legal, political, etc. – of crime and, where appropriate, of criminal investigations in Arab movies/shows.
