ANR / Appel à projets générique 2014

L’Agence nationale de la recherche (ANR) lance, dans le cadre du « Plan d’action 2014″ qu’elle a adopté en juillet, un appel à projets générique.

Il s’appuie sur le document du Plan d’Action 2014 qui se substitue à la fois au document de programmation et à la plupart des appels à projets tels qu’ils étaient proposés dans les programmations antérieures.

Cet appel à projets générique comporte deux composantes :

• Les grands défis sociétaux
• Aux frontières de la recherche

Il est ouvert à toutes les disciplines scientifiques et à tous types de recherche.

Date limite de candidature : 23 octobre 2013.

Reminder: Ph.D. course: ‘Women, Energy and Health: Questioning Current Paradigms for Development and Social Change’_ Just a few days left!

INVITATION TO ATTEND DOCTORAL COURSE

Ph.D. course: ‘Women, Energy and Health: Questioning Current Paradigms for Development and Social Change’

Extended deadline: 15 October 2013. Date: 6 – 8 January 2014

Venue: Centre for Development and the Environment (SUM), University of Oslo, Norway

Organised by: The Centre for Development and the Environment’s (SUM) research area on Energy and Consumption, SUM Research School and the Interfaculty research area Livelihoods in Developing Countries (LEVE) at the University of Oslo, Norway

Objective: The principal objective of this course is to review and question the underlying assumptions on social change that inform the current paradigms within development discourses on women, energy and health. We wish to enable doctoral students to better understand key concepts, debates and perspectives in energy, health and gender equality for the purposes of research, policy making and/or concrete programmes and projects.

Appel à participations PhotoiiAC 2013

PhotoiiAC 2013

Le concours et l’exposition de photographies de l’Institut Interdisciplinaire d’Anthropologie du Contemporain

En partenariat avec les journées doctorales de l’IIAC 2013 « Refaire le(s) monde(s) : espaces et temps du contemporain »

Appel à participations :
« We explore photography as a research tool, with associated methodologies, that extends our perceptions if we make skilled and appropriate use of it. » J. & M. Collier, Visual Anthropology (1967)

Vous êtes doctorant, étudiant en sciences sociales ou photographe en formation ?
Participez à la deuxième édition du concours de photographies PhotoiiAC, organisé par les doctorants de l’Institut Interdisciplinaire d’Anthropologie du Contemporain (IIAC – UMR 8177 CNRS/EHESS). En écho à la thématique des journées doctorales 2013 du laboratoire, ce concours vous propose cette année de « Refaire le(s) monde(s) » en explorant les espaces et les temps du contemporain, qui sont envisagés comme clés d’accès à la contemporanéité en vertu de leur potentiel heuristique et descriptif. Les synergies entre les deux évènements nous permettent de réfléchir, d’une manière critique et réflexive, aux objets, aux méthodes et aux postures du chercheur et du photographe. En continuité avec la première édition de PhotoiiAC, notre concours-exposition souhaite accorder une place centrale à la dimension heuristique de la pratique photographique.

Dans un esprit novateur et fédérateur, la vocation de ce concours biennal est de créer un espace d’interaction inédit entre les mondes de la recherche et de la photographie. C’est aussi l’occasion d’envisager par l’image, la thématique des journées doctorales analysée par écrit et via des présentations orales. Dans cet esprit, des tables-rondes thématiques sont intégrées à la programmation, plus classique, des journées doctorales.

Face à la complexité des mondes contemporains et leurs multiples facettes spatio-temporelles, en quoi l’approche photographique peut-elle aider le chercheur dans son processus de compréhension et de restitution des réalités sociales, tant sur le plan épistémologique que méthodologique ? En quoi la photographie – en tant que procédé d’enregistrement du visible – peut-elle apporter un éclairage nouveau sur des réalités ethnographiques et de l’élargissement des compétences du chercheur ? Comment la posture de photographe change-t-elle la relation avec les enquêtés ? Inversement, comment le photographe mobilise-t-il de manière originale les outils ethnographiques pour rendre compte, au plus près, de l’objet qu’il capture ?

Si la recherche en sciences sociales a longtemps été méfiante vis-à-vis du recours à l’image dans la compréhension des réalités sociales, elle a sensiblement évolué depuis une vingtaine d’années, en interrogeant la manière dont le chercheur peut transposer la photographie dans une perspective de production de sens. Voilà la réflexion au cœur de ce concours : reprenant la question du sociologue Sylvain Maresca (1996), en quoi la photographie peut-elle devenir le « miroir des sciences sociales » ?

Un jury prestigieux et des prix à la clé !
Après le sociologue américain Howard Becker, parrain du concours pour sa première édition en 2011, cette année la place est donnée au photographe italien de renommée internationale Franco Zecchin. Il est également le président du jury qui réunit des photographes de renom dont l’approche photographique entretient une relation inextricable avec les sciences sociales – Valérie Jouve et Marc Pataut – ainsi que des chercheurs de l’IIAC qui envisagent l’image comme objet ou comme outil d’enquête : Sophie Brones, Lynda Dematteo, André Gunthert, Jean-Christophe Monferran, Caterina Pasqualino, Boris Pétric et Monique Peyrière. Ils sélectionneront les trois lauréats du concours, ainsi que les participants dont les clichés seront soumis au vote du public pendant l’exposition. Le choix se fera selon des critères d’originalité et de traitement du sujet, de respect de la thématique et de qualité technique. En décembre 2013, les photographies gagnantes seront exposées sous les verrières de l’atrium du bâtiment Le France, siège de l’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales et de la Maison des Sciences de l’Homme, à Paris.

Anthropological Knots. A Symposium. In association with HAU. (15 janvier, Helsinki)

Anthropological Knots
A symposium
15th January 2014
University of Helsinki, Social and Cultural Anthropology (Department of Social Research) in association with HAU: Journal of Ethnographic Theory (www.haujournal.org)

The current economic and political climate in many parts of the world is generating an increasing number of interventions from anthropologists, both individually and collectively. Amongst other things, these interventions concern anthropology itself as a discipline and as a practice, as well as
commentaries on the shifting conditions that make anthropology possible.
Many of these debates look both inwards and outwards, as they have always done: inwards at the new shapes anthropology is taking in response to these changing political and economic conditions; and outwards, making often pointed and public commentaries on contemporary structural and ideological conditions within which anthropology exists. This is not simply a question of advocacy, but rather touches on something more basic: a debate about the shifting boundaries that generate new kinds of gaps and interfaces between anthropology and other things. These are fresh spaces in which diverse threads might run in parallel, cross each other or become entangled; spaces that engender debates about locating reworked relations, separations and limits, as well as debates about thinking through what could and should be done next.

This issue centrally concerns the ties that bind anthropology together with itself and with the wider context in which anthropology has been practised in recent years. The symposium will bring together a small group of prominent anthropologists who have deliberately intervened, both within anthropology itself and more widely, and will consider the knots involved.

Keynote speakers:
Michael Carrithers University of Durham « The ironies of a simple ethnographic project, or what it is to stand at the edge of anthropology looking in »
David Graeber London School of Economics « On being relevant despite yourself – an anthropological conundrum. »
Chris Gregory Australian National University « On the severance of the indissoluble bond between economy and religion and the dehumanisation of anthropology »
Marilyn Strathern University of Cambridge « Anthropological reasoning: some thoughts »

January 15th 2014, 09:30// 16:00, University of Helsinki
