Home Mission Statement About Us Networks Seminar Series Events News Critical Mobilities Contacts	News Archive April 2010 29/04/2010 Qualitative Research Methods for Mobilities Studies 6th June 2010, University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland EUROQUAL is a four year programme sponsored by the European Science Foundation which provides support for high-level international workshops, to share and develop methodological expertise in qualitative social science research throughout Europe (for further details please visit the EUROQUAL website at http://www.cardiff.ac.uk/socsi/euroqual). Organised as part of the EUROQUAL programme, the one-day workshop on ‘Qualitative Research Methods for Mobilities Studies’ on 6th June 2010 in Neuchatel, Switzerland aims to complement the International Seminar on "Mobile Constitutions of Society" on 7-8 June 2010 oragnised by MOVE (The Swiss Network for Mobility Studies (for further detail about MOVE please visit http://move-nework.ch/). The EUROQUAL workshop will focus on methodological innovations in mobilty studies and discuss the challenges of using qualitative methods in this emerging interdisciplinary field of studies. Issues of movement -- of people, things, information and ideas – have become increasingly central to people's lives in contemporary societies across the globe. From transnational movement of natural resources to teleworking, from infrastructure expansion controversies to forced displacement within nation-states, from trafficking to global terrorism, issues of ‘mobility' in the sense of movement imbued with social meaning are today centre-stage in many academic and policy agendas. In social life as well as in social theory these mobilities, their nature and effects remain highly contested. With John Urry we can speak of a ‘new mobilities paradigm' for the social sciences, which brings together and makes comprehensible social phenomena, which were previously considered disparate or opaque. How new are these mobilties or what is new about them? How is place and space reconstituted in the process? What do these mobilities imply for new gradients of power and geographies of social inequalities? How does the mobilites paradigm interact with ideas of circulation, exchange and entanglement that characterize current discussions of transnationalization processes and multiple modernities in many social science disciplines? The one day EUROQUAL workshop will focus on qualitative methods used in the study of various material and immaterial forms of mobility and their implications for the understanding of contemporary society. How do we study mobility as a social form and its centrality in shaping different arenas of social life in different societies? How can we account for immobile forces that enable or constrain different mobilities? How can we research the particularities of the co-constitution of mobility and society? We invite proposals from graduate students whose research focuses on one of the three broad thematic areas outlined below: A. The mobility of norms and forms of bioscientific knowledge, population-health care policies, medical technologies and practices. How are the global movements of biomedical technologies reconfiguring bodies, social relations, the state and public-private assemblages in the delivery of health care? B. The mobility of models of urban built forms. How do global movements of ideas and practices of urban spatial, physical design, and planning shape, and are in turn shaped by, “local” contexts? C. The mobility of norms and regulatory mechanisms as they relate to migration, human trafficking, the state, or built environments. How are vastly increased flows of commodities, people, capital, technologies, images and/or knowledge promoted, monitored, controlled, constrained, and regulated? What are the transforming effects of rapid globalization on the relationship between built environments and people’s daily mobility? What are the various instances of opposition to, and mobilization against, mobilities across time and space? This Call for Participation addresses: Students on a Ph.D/Dr. level who use (or who are preparing to use) qualitative research methods in their particular discipline to study the movement and circulation of objects, ideas and persons. Students will have the opportunity to discuss their research designs with experts in the field including: Aditya Bharadwaj (Edinburgh University), Lawrence Cohen (University of California, Berkeley), John Comaroff (University of Chicago), and VinhKim Nguyen (Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology).

Sharing Cars, Sharing Troubles * Mimi Sheller, Drexel University, USA Title: Mobile Mediality: Putting Place in Motion Abstract submissions are invited for the "The Cultures of Mobilities: Everyday life, Communication, and Politics" conference, to be held in Aalborg, Denmark, on October 27-29 2010. The conference is open to students, scholars, and professionals from various fields interested in the theoretical or applied study of mobilities. Different forms of mobilities have increased dramatically in recent decades and are today essential for many spheres of contemporary societies. In various research disciplines mobility is still often thought of as a matter of rational organization, an important competitive feature in a global world, or as a dominant factor involved in stratification. As such, mobility is immanently connected to material practices of movement and access - or their opposites. However, what is less discussed in the recent debates on mobility research is that mobilities are not just material, but also signifying practices. Mobilities have just as much to do with the production of meaning and culture. The 2010 "Cultures of Mobilities" conference therefore takes up the challenge to theorize and analyze mobilities from the vantage point of a cultural perspective. The conference will place a particular emphasis on how mobilities produce and re-produce norms, meanings and cultures. The conference focus of "Cultures of Mobilities" will encompass three different themes: Everyday life, Communication and Politics. The Everyday life perspective considers how the organization of mobilities in everyday life produces (and re-produces) particular sets of values and norms relating to mobilities. It explores the ways in which everyday life mobilities are being organized, and asks whether everyday mobilities are generating new social communities and perspectives on social interaction, or are instead eroding social connectivity. The Communication perspective considers how new digital communication technologies influence mobility practices and how they may create affordances for particular ways of engaging with mobilities. Papers in this part may also involve intercultural/cross-cultural perspectives on mobility as well as the analysis of representations of mobilities in, for example, literature, media, documentary, cinema, computer games and fiction. Finally the Politics perspective addresses how the new mobilities are being perceived politically. Are various political perceptions encouraging or discouraging particular forms of mobility? Are there specific norms and cultures related to the ways in which states and governmental systems create policies for mobilities? Under this theme, we also encourage papers on critical perspectives, 'the environment', 'mobility as a right' and power/social stratification at scales from the neighborhood to global mega-regions.

Plus grave encore, la concurrence inégale sur les ressources favorise fortement des dynamiques continues d'appauvrissement et d'exclusion des millions de familles de petits paysans dont les sources de revenu se voient brutalement réduites et dépourvues de toutes formes de sécurisation sur le moyen terme. Nous proposons par ces rencontres doctorales une étude de terrain et des échanges, en Tunisie méridionale, sous l'angle de cette problématique. En quoi le cas tunisien peut-il être comparé avec l'Egypte ? D'autres exemples internationaux confirment-ils notre hypothèse ? Comment se manifeste localement la concurrence sur les ressources, dans la société paysanne et au delà ? Au delà de ces questionnements, les ateliers débattront de questions plus ethodologiques, et en particulier : - dans quelle mesure une enquête au niveau local peut-elle apporter des informations ou valider une hypothèse portant sur le niveau international ? - dans quelle mesure la recherche en sciences sociales peut-elle et doit-elle intervenir dans le débat politique ? Etudiants concernés : Rencontres ouvertes aux doctorants en sciences sociales dont la recherche est directement liée à la thématique définie dans l'appel à participation (ci-dessus) et porte, de préférence, sur des terrains situés dans des pays du Sud : - accès et compétitions sur les ressources, - milieu rural ou périurbain, - petites et moyennes paysanneries et investisseurs agricoles ; - marchés alimentaires et accès à l'alimentation ; - agriculture, environnement et biodiversité ; - rôles de l'Etat et politiques agricoles et alimentaires ; - problématique de l'eau (disponibilité, gestion, politique, accès.... ). Doctorants en début comme en toute fin de thèse sont les bienvenus. Universités concernées : Universités françaises et européennes, tunisiennes et maghrébines, égyptiennes . Les candidatures provenant d'autres pays seront étudiées. Calendrier : 1er mai 2010 : Date limite pour l'envoi des candidatures. Organismes partenaires - l' Université de Paris Ouest-Nanterre (Ecole doctorale Milieux, Cultures et Sociétés du Passé et du Présent, et laboratoire GECKO) ; - l'Institut de Recherches sur le Maghreb Contemporain (IRMC) ; - Social Research Center (SRC) - American University in Cairo (AUC) - l'Institut Universitaire de France Pour toute information ainsi que pour les envois de candidatures, écrire à Valérie Le Toux : valerie.letoux@wanadoo.fr 25/04/2010 Fourth Annual International Conference on Mediterranean Studies Athens, Greece, 20-23 April 2011 The Athens Institute for Education and Research (ATINER) organizes this conference.

Le 8 juin 2010, Forêt Méditerranéenne et l'Association Française de Pastoralisme co-organisent une rencontre technique chez un producteur du Larzac (La Couvertoirade). En s'appuyant sur l'expérience menée par ce producteur innovant pour mieux "combiner bois et pâturage", les deux associations souhaitent favoriser les échanges entre techniciens de la forêt et de l'élevage. Cette journée s'appuiera sur quatre thématiques, avec une introduction technique suivie d'échanges et de partages d'expérience. Le 9 juin 2010, cette rencontre peut se poursuivre, pour ceux qui le souhaitent, par un atelier de réflexion mené par Forêt Méditerranéenne sur le thème : "la biodiversité : un plus au service des éleveurs et des forestiers". Cette journée est organisée dans le cadre de la préparation de Foresterranée'11, rencontres triennales de l’association Forêt Méditerranéenne, qui auront pour thème en 2011 : "Usages, biodiversité et forêt méditerranéenne".

Axhausen Transport and Society This analysis of newly available longitudinal data on individual trip making and activity behaviour debates the most suitable methodological tools to represent the structures of long-term travel behaviour. Also discussed is what such data reveals about travellers' motives, and how planning should translate the findings into forecasting tools and transport strategies. The inquiry reveals the multifaceted character of daily life travel, and the variability that individuals show in activity behaviour.

As the discussion of settlements and a 'settlement freeze' continues, it is clear than many people are unaware of the complex reality that Israel has imposed over time. This video is produced by the Palestine Center and provides a quick but detailed tool for understanding the extent of Israeli control on Occupied Jerusalem for journalists, educators and all others who seek to understand this critical issue. A YouTube version of this video is available here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-v-Tpg9xN5k 19/04/2010 The Eight International Training Workshop on Integrated Coastal Management in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (MEDCOAST Institute 2010) Location: Dalyan/Southern Aegean coast, Turkey Dates: 31 August - 16 September 2010 DEADLINE for Application: 31 May 2010 Contact: MEDCOAST Secretariat c/o Middle East Technical University 06531 Ankara - Turkey Telephone: 90 - 312 - 210 54 29 Facsimile: 90 - 312 - 210 79 87 E-mail: medcoast@metu.edu.tr http: www.medcoast.org.tr 18/04/2010 "e-Arabic and Cyberspace: the Marginalized Voices" Durham, 10-11 June 2010 Sponsored by the British Academy and in association with the American University of Sharjah, UAE; Centre for the Advanced Study of the Arab World (CASAW); School of Modern Language and Cultures and the School of Government and International Affairs, Durham University. The recent proliferation of media platforms in the Arab World has provided an extraordinary number of perspectives from which to analyse civil society and its development. Hot on the heels of the 'Al Jazeera revolution', cyberspace is now viewed as having quickly overtaken satellite television in terms of its capacity to house and engender the discussion and expression of ideas and opinions that would not normally find their way to the public arena. These 'marginalized' groups with their diverse claims based on recognition are the focus of this symposium. Examples of these groups include, women, ethnic/religious minorities (e.g., Kurds, Berbers, Armenians, Shiites in Sunni-majority societies, Copts, Druze, Jews in Arab countries), LGBT, the socio-economically disadvantaged, to mention a few. 'Arabic cyberspace' is characterized by varying registers of the Arabic language and the incorporation of various dialects and borrowing from foreign languages. These various linguistic manifestations can be termed 'e-Arabic' and are a central theme of this workshop. This e-Arabic is a 'new' language used on the internet and mobile telephony which mixes, borrows and evolves, using numbers, Roman letters, Arabic script characters, emoticons and words from other languages, to engage not only with the globalised discourse, but also to highlight the specific ways in which the local frames the global. Blogging in particular, has become a popular way of reaching out to others with similar political, religious, cultural, social or economic interests and forming interest networks unrestricted by geographical boundaries. Recent findings published by the Berkman Centre for Internet and Society at Harvard University suggest that the largest dialectical linguistic groupings in the Arabic blogosphere were Egyptian, Saudi Arabian, Kuwaiti, Levantine/English, mixture), Syrian and Maghrebi/French mixture. Thus the usage of Arabic dialects is itself an important aspect of cyber discourses and provides a new area of inquiry for the assessment of the implications of diglossic manifestations in broader cultural forms. Possible topic areas include, but are not restricted to, the following: - e-Arabic in language and literature (new forms and mainstream literature). - Gender and Arabic cyberspace - Ethnic minority voices/publics (e.g. Kurds, Berbers) - Religious minority voices /publics (e.g. Copts, Shiites, Druze, Jews) - The socio-economically disadvantaged. - The use of social networking technologies in civil society and political opposition movements. - Relationship between groups and their registers of expression in Arabic - The use of e-Arabic in the communicative process - Potential dominance of particular dialects (Egyptian, Levantine etc.) - The structural layout of 'Arabic cyberspace', i.e. who says what and where (geographically) Abstracts of 250 words should be emailed to Dr. Anissa Daoudi (Anissa.Daoudi@durham.ac.uk). Deadline for the submission of abstracts: 30 April 2010. 17/04/2010 "Meedan" - A Free Arabic-English News-Forum Meedan.net is a digital town square where you can share conversation and links about world events with speakers outside your language community.

However, no detailed and comprehensive analysis of the concept has been undertaken so far within an internationally comparative framework. This session, therefore, aims to bring together international scholars working in the field of borders, unfamiliarity and (im)mobilities. In so doing, our goal is to achieve better grounded and richer explanations of feelings of (un)familiarity and resulting mobilities as well as immobilities across international and intraurban borders. We invite papers that explore, from a variety of angles – both theoretical and empirical –, experiences, translations and effects of unfamiliarity across intraurban and international borders. Please submit abstracts (of no more than 200 words) to both Bas Spierings (b.spierings@geo.uu.nl) and Martin van der Velde (m.vandervelde@ru.nl) by Friday April 2nd, 2010.

Par plaisir sans doute, non moins par nécessité. Avoir été, c’est une condition pour être», écrivait Fernand Braudel. Et sans doute la Méditerranée est-elle d’abord un mythe, celui d’une histoire commune, où les héritages se sédimentent : le monothéisme sémitique, l’alphabet phénicien, la philosophie grecque, le droit romain, l’art byzantin, la science arabe, la convivenzia arabo-andalouse, la puissance ottomane… Il est vrai que la Méditerranée fut l’espace du miracle grec et celui de l’empire romain. L’hellénisation a précédé l’unification politique romaine. L’unité religieuse allait suivre avec l’expansion du christianisme. C’était le temps où l’on pouvait parler d’un mare nostrum. Les rivages de cette «mer intérieure» étaient depuis longtemps explorés en tous sens par d’audacieux voyageurs qu’incarnent les figures d’Ulysse et celle de l’apôtre Paul. Elle apparaissait comme le centre du monde. Pourtant, coupée en deux par la conquête arabo-islamique au viie siècle, la Méditerranée est devenue une zone d’affrontements et ne cessa plus de l’être jusqu’au xxe siècle. Ce sont les lignes de fracture qui dominent l’histoire longue: entre Orient et Occident, entre chrétiens et musulmans, entre l’Europe et l’Empire ottoman, entre colonisateurs et colonisés. Et si les échanges commerciaux et intellectuels demeurent au Moyen Age, s’ils s’intensifient au xiie siècle grâce au dynamisme des marchands italiens et dans ces foyers de haute culture que sont l’Andalousie et la Sicile, jamais ils ne remettent en cause la confrontation entre les deux mondes. Instaurée sur les décombres de l’Empire ottoman, la domination européenne au xixe et xxe siècles ouvre une nouvelle ère. La maîtrise de la route des Indes devient pour l’empire britannique l’enjeu vital. La France domine le Maghreb. L’Italie s’avance en Libye. La Méditerranée est désormais un lac européen. La Seconde Guerre mondiale sonnera l’heure du repli pour le continent. Renonçant à la domination d’un bassin pacifié aujourd’hui par l’Otan et la VIe flotte américaine, les Européens (Français en tête) continuent de voir la Méditerranée comme un espace commun. Contre toutes les évidences d’un trafic mondialisé qui ne fait souvent que la traverser sans la voir, nous nous considérons toujours comme les héritiers d’Ulysse qui la sillonnait, d’Auguste qui y imposa la paix, peut-être même de Napoléon IIIqui voulait créer un immense «royaume arabe». Un peu de ces imaginaires imprègne encore le projet de partenariat euroméditerranéen. On ne renonce pas facilement aux rêves. 13/04/2010 Eighth Annual WinterCourse on Forced Migration Organised by Calcutta Research Group(CRG), certified by the UNHCR and the CRG and supported by UNHCR, Government of Finland and the Brookings Institution.

From the social networking site Facebook to the Middle Eastern satellite news channel Al Jazeera, digital forms of culture have multiplied in recent years, proliferating conduits and connections across the globe which shape our lives in multifarious ways. In the light of this, a postcolonial perspective on information and communication technologies is pressing. How far is cyberspace mediated by metropolitan centres of knowledge production, and how might new media entrench existing structures of inequality, by serving corporate capitalist interests or by saturating consumers with hegemonic representations of global events? Conversely, to what extent can technologies operate as tools of empowerment or resistance for marginalised peoples, by bypassing forms of censorship and facilitating access to global arenas of debate and alternative communities? How have new technologies impacted on issues of identity, place and nation, and shifted the parameters of postcolonial thought? This inaugural postgraduate conference of the Postcolonial Studies Association will consider the cultural, political, and practical effects of information and communication technologies on postcolonial peoples and spaces. The PSA invites papers from postgraduates working in the disciplines of literature, history, cultural studies, film, human geography, linguistics, politics, psychology, religious studies, art, music, media & communication, and informatics, among others. Our aim is to bring together a wide variety of scholarly interests and methodological approaches. Papers may focus on, but are not limited to, the following conceptual intersections: Technologies and neo-imperialism: cultural imperialism and homogenization, digital media and hegemony, technological warfare and its virtual representations (computer games); Technologies and capitalism: commodification of information, web marketing and advertising, uneven access to technology, uneven development of technologies (industrial and agricultural); Technologies and resistance: alternative virtual communities, ‘indigenous’ media and self-determination, sustainable technologies, open-source soft ware communities, hackers and cybercrime; Technologies and communication: new forms of language, literacy, transnational social networking sites, censorship and its circumvention, ‘freedom of speech’, media as social and political commentary; Technologies and place: spatial dislocation, the erosion of national boundaries, cosmopolitanisms (tele-technologies such as mobile phones, email, internet telephony, webcams); Technologies and youth identities: music as sub-cultural expression (downloads and MP3 players), virtual subjectivities and transnational communities (computer games, YouTube, chat rooms); Technologies and text: new filmic and literary genres, the production of alternative modernities, textual representations of technologies; Technologies and knowledge: education and e-learning, data and surveillance, globalisation and the idea of ‘democratised’ or ‘universal’ knowledge (web-based search engines); Technologies and the ‘new’: new uses of old technologies, modernity and cultural innovation. Panels will normally comprise three 20-minute papers. Please send abstracts of no more than 300 words to Brian Rock by 15 March 2010: brian.rock@stir.ac.uk Aside from keynote papers and parallel panels of postgraduate presentations, the conference will host training workshops relating to professional and research skills led by both established and early career scholars. These will include a presentation by Prof. Stephanie Newell (University of Sussex) on her career path in the field of postcolonial studies. The JPW/PSA Essay Prize 2010 will be awarded at the conference. Details about the prize will be available shortly on the PSA website. 08/04/2010 Seeking Asylum. Human Smuggling and Bureaucracy at the Border Alison Mountz How human smuggling illuminates the complexities of immigration policies and laws Seeking Asylum is a wide-ranging investigation into the power of states to change the relationship between geography and law as they negotiate border crossings. Using examples from Canada, Australia, and the United States, Alison Mountz demonstrates the centrality of space and place in efforts to control the fate of unwanted migrants. "Seeking Asylum shines a fascinating light on the complex ties between the state and its socio-territorial boundaries, and the people who produce them. It compellingly explores the simultaneous power and limitations of the institutions charged with policing migrants, and the increasingly impoverished condition of refugee rights in the world's most prosperous countries. It challenges us to ask hard questions about the state's exclusionary practices, and most importantly about ourselves and the ever-more formidable boundaries built in our names." -Joseph Nevins, author of Dying to Live: A Story of U.S. Immigration in an Age of Global Apartheid "A rare combination of theoretical sophistication and detailed empirical analysis makes this an exceptional book. Alison Mountz's analysis provides evidence of state practices and policies that have only been discussed at the most general level in the past." -Valerie Preston, York University University of Minnesota Press \| 248 pages \| 11 b&w photos \| 4 maps \| 2010 ISBN 978-0-8166-6538-9 \| paper \| $25.00 ISBN 978-0-8166-6537-2 \| cloth \| $75.00 07/04/2010 Nominate now for the EuroMed Award 2010 - Together for Ecological Sustainability The Anna Lindh Foundation (ALF) and Fondazione Mediterraneo (FM) have the pleasure to announce the launch of the nomination for the Fifth Edition of the Euro-Med Award for the Dialogue between Cultures.

Les savoirs du tourisme entre pratiques et instruments d’analyse Tourism belongs to whom? Exploring tourism in theory and practice Publié le lundi 29 mars 2010 par Karim Hammou RESUME Nous entendons considérer le tourisme comme un véritable observatoire privilégié pour réfléchir sur le monde contemporain, sur des phénomènes complexes tels que la globalisation et la mobilité et, en même temps, sur les fondements des théories aptes à le saisir en soi et comme représentation (des transformations) du « social » et du « culturel ». Ainsi repensé comme ensemble de pratiques qui configurent des formes de savoirs sur l’homme, le tourisme engage indistinctement des disciplines diverses telles que l’anthropologie, la sociologie, la sémiotique, la géographie, l’histoire, etc. Si, naturellement, le tourisme appartient de droit au touriste et à ceux qui le pratiquent, le chercheur a le devoir de se questionner sur la signification que ces pratiques prennent et sur les instruments théoriques capables de traduire ces pratiques en connaissances explicites. ANNONCE A qui appartient le tourisme ? Les savoirs du tourisme entre pratiques et instruments d’analyse Colloque international Université de Palerme, les 17 et 18 juin 2010 Date limite d’envoi des propositions : le 30 avril 2010 Dans ce colloque nous entendons considérer le tourisme comme un véritable observatoire privilégié pour réfléchir sur le monde contemporain, sur des phénomènes complexes tels que la globalisation et la mobilité et, en même temps, sur les fondements des théories aptes à le saisir en soi et comme représentation (des transformations) du ‘social’ et du ‘culturel’. Ainsi repensé comme ensemble de pratiques qui configurent des formes de savoirs sur l’Homme, le tourisme engage indistinctement des disciplines diverses telles que l’anthropologie, la sociologie, la sémiotique, la géographie, l’histoire, etc. Quels sont les points de vue appliqués par ces disciplines et quelles méthodologies peut-on mettre en œuvre afin de saisir le tourisme ? Étant donné que les seuls éléments statistiques ou économiques ne permettent pas de saisir l’ordre symbolique qui régit le phénomène du tourisme, on doit se demander quels instruments d’analyse sont à considérer comme les plus efficaces. Y-a-t-il des instruments d’analyse privilégiés par rapport à d’autres ? Le déplacement et le voyage peuvent-ils contribuer à renouveler les modèles d’investigation des sciences sociales ou bien ceux qui existent déjà sont-ils suffisants ? Le tourisme doit-il dépasser les compartimentations disciplinaires rigides ou la différenciation du savoir en disciplines différentes aide-t-elle à appliquer des optiques spécialisées ? Si, naturellement, le tourisme appartient de droit au touriste et à ceux qui le pratiquent, le chercheur a tout de même le devoir de se questionner sur la signification que ces pratiques prennent et sur les instruments théoriques capables de traduire ces pratiques en connaissances explicites. A titre d’exemple, nous proposons des axes de recherche généraux que nous entendons explorer avec les participants au colloque : I. Les concepts des sciences sociales et le tourisme Cette section a pour fonction d’offrir un cadre épistémologique à l’intérieur duquel on pourra situer les concepts, les théories et les pratiques utiles pour repenser le monde contemporain et les notions de touriste et de voyageur. Parmi tant d’autres, le tourisme met en lumière l’opposition, souvent latente, entre ce qui serait de l’ordre de l’‘exotique’ (et de l’extraordinaire) et ce qui serait de l’ordre du ‘quotidien’ (et de l’ordinaire). Cette opposition est-elle – encore – pertinente aujourd’hui ? Est-il possible de faire une anthropologie non-exotisante, c’est-à-dire une anthropologie qui conjugue ensemble l’‘ordinaire’ et l’‘extraordinaire’ ? Qu’est-ce qu’on entend plus exactement par ordinaire et par extraordinaire ? Et quelles différences démarquent-elles le rayon d’action de l’anthropologie et de la sociologie dans le domaine du tourisme ? De quelle manière, par exemple, les instruments d’analyse de la socio-sémiotique découpent-ils le savoir des sciences sociales ? II. Les ethnographies du tourisme Dans cette section, l’investigation portera sur les ethnographies du tourisme et on pourra focaliser l’attention sur des questions aussi centrales pour le monde contemporain que le voyage et sa textualisation, l’interaction interindividuelle et sa signification, l’interprétation et la codification des cultures, les (non-)lieux et l’identité, la construction de l’altérité et le natif, la globalisation et les processus de migration, etc. Une réflexion spécifique pourra concerner les rapports qui s’établissent entre l’expérience vécue par le touriste et la mise en forme discursive et narrative qu’il en peut faire. Les émotions ont souvent un rôle prépondérant dont on pourrait explorer la portée théorique en accord (ou en désaccord) avec les perspectives offertes par les sciences sociales d’aujourd’hui. III. Le touriste comme figure de la médiation et de la traduction Une partie de la recherche concernera la figure du touriste comme médiateur de cultures et comme figure sociale ‘seuil’ : homme, natif de sa propre culture, étranger, migrant, théoricien, personne commune, voyageur, etc. On pourrait, par exemple, essayer de répondre aux questions suivantes : quelle forme de médiation s’instaure-t-elle entre le touriste et son Autre ? Quels types de textes visuels et écrits le situent dans l’action et dans la narration ? Quelles formes spatiales s’imposent-elles comme parcours obligés (ou libres) pour le tourisme ? On peut considérer cette section comme une réflexion plus spécifique sur le concept de médiation interindividuelle et intertextuelle à partir de la figure du touriste et de son activité de traducteur de cultures. IV. Les pratiques et les savoirs du touriste Dans le passé, les chercheurs ont souvent mis l’accent sur le couple guests/hosts et sur le changement qui se produit comme effet de la rencontre touriste/natifs. Sans nécessairement négliger la valeur de ces concepts, on peut en outre focaliser l’attention sur le touriste en tant que ‘figure complexe de la compétence’, c’est-à-dire un individu qui possède des compétences avant son voyage, les met en acte pendant le voyage et, éventuellement, les transforme grâce à l’interaction avec les autres. Voici par exemple certaines questions que les participants pourraient se poser : que fait le touriste ? Comment se configurent ses compétences avant, pendant et après le voyage ? Quelles formes d’apprentissage particulières lui demande le voyage ? Quelle signification prend le temps libre et le divertissement pendant les vacances ? V. Les géographies du tourisme et de la culture Le tourisme attire l’intérêt des chercheurs justement parce qu’il met au centre de l’attention la figure complexe du touriste et l’analyse des formes de savoir qui le caractérisent. Une question qui se pose de manière symétrique concerne les géographies du tourisme et des espaces qui lui sont corrélés. Dans cette perspective, on pourrait se demander : quelles valeurs véhiculent, potentiellement et en acte, les territoires ? De quelle manière se configure l’utilisation d’un site par le touriste ? Comment pourrait-on valoriser les espaces touristiques en accord avec ceux de la culture ? Quelles typologies d’espace se conforment mieux à l’utilisation touristique et aux formes différentes de tourisme ? De quelle manière et selon quelles formes le tourisme se révèle-t-il utile à la promotion du développement d’un territoire ? Par quels nouveaux canaux le tourisme est-il réinterprété au XXIe siècle ? Ce ne sont que quelques-uns des axes de recherche complémentaires que, pour des raisons d’exposition, nous proposons dans des sections distinctes. Les participants sont invités à laisser interagir librement les perspectives et les sections proposées avec les méthodologies et les instruments qu’ils considèrent comme les plus adéquates à leurs fins. Outre l’anthropologie (du présent, du tourisme, etc.), on invite les participants à utiliser les modèles d’analyse et les réflexions qui proviennent de la sociologie, de la linguistique, de la géographie, de la sémiotique textuelle et de la sémiotique de la culture.

How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies. Séminaire organisé par Ulrike Freitag et Nora Lafi.
