13:30 – (De)constructions

  • Discussant: Céline Regnard (TELEMMe)
  • Participants: Idrissa Ba (Cheikh Anta Diop University), Manuel Borutta (Université de Constance), Juliette Dumas (IREMAM), Gwenaëlle Goude (LAMPEA), Pierre Rochette (CEREGE).

Pluridisciplinarity multiplies the perspectives and allows us to deconstruct the categories of analysis that are used and have been used to define the Mediterranean. These categories are numerous. If the question of limits and natural or state borders seems to impose itself at first sight, that of the centre(s) and their peripheries or margins seems equally important, as well as the idea of polycentrism, whether in an imperial or national context. But the Mediterranean space also raises questions about the space of exchange between East and West, the latter often being associated (hastily) with Europe, whereas the reality seems more complex, calling for a more nuanced and shifting definition. Finally, has the Mediterranean constituted a natural obstacle or a privileged passageway over the ages for populations and ideas? This round table proposes a reflection on these categories, their context of production and a discussion on their contributions and their limits.

3pm – Representations

  • Discussant : Stéphane Cermakian (IREMAM)
  • Participants: Stéphane Baquey (CIELAM), Léa Battais (TELEMMe), Gwladys Bernard (EHEHI), Kamel Chachoua (IREMAM), Taoufik JMIAI (University of Sfax) and Claudio Milanesi (CAER).

The very existence of representations of the Mediterranean implies that it is imagined. The historical, social, geographical and cultural context of the construction of these representations will be examined: are they produced in the Mediterranean or outside? The aim will be to examine the various representations of the Mediterranean in a transdisciplinary and diachronic approach, taking into account the fluctuations of its borders. What are the vectors of these representations? Materials, objects, maps, narratives, texts, images have carried or still carry representations of the Mediterranean whose construction over time can be questioned. We will be able to question the way in which these constructions of this space take place, as much from the point of view of the Mediterranean as from other parts of the world, and in what way these representations are in permanent evolution and circulation. How, when and why did the different scientific disciplines contribute to their development? This round table proposes a discussion on the existence, the vectors, the circulation and the scientific construction of the representations of the Mediterranean.

16:30 – Issues

  • Discussant : Anne Mailloux (LA3M)
  • Participants: Isabelle Bloss-Widmer and Sébastien Oliveau (MESOPOLHIS), Sophie Bouffier (CCJ) and Stéphane Mourlane (TELEMMe), Alexandre Grondeau (TELEMMe), Andreas Guidi (University of Constance), Cyril Isnart (IDEMEC) and Lilya Vardanyan (Yerevan State University).

Are the existence of dramatic events (natural disasters, catastrophes, revolutions, conflicts) in the Mediterranean or on its margins, the use of the Mediterranean space as a place of circulation and exchange, but also as a border, and the manifestations of environmental crises particular expressions of general phenomena or do they have their own typicality? Conversely, are certain global issues absent from the Mediterranean? What can the scientific community contribute to identify and analyse these issues? What is the reception of this analysis in the public and political sphere? This session will examine the existence of Mediterranean issues (or their absence) from a historical, political, social, environmental or cultural point of view (understood in a very broad sense, heritage, linguistic, cultural, religious, etc.).

18:30 – Cocktail (Salle de convivialité du bâtiment C).
