Appel à communication COLLOQUE Terrains difficiles, sujets sensibles. Faire de la recherche au Maghreb et au Moyen-Orient ﻓﻲ اﻟﻣﯾداﻧﯾﺔ ﺑﺎﻷﺑﺣﺎث اﻟﻘﯾﺎم : ﺣﺳﺎﺳﯾﺔ ذات ﻣواﺿﯾﻊ و اﻟوﻟوج ﺻﻌﺑﺔ ﻣﯾﺎدﯾن اﻷوﺳط اﻟﺷرق و اﻟﻌرﺑﻲ اﻟﻣﻐرب Lieu : Institut Universitaire de la recherche scientifique, Rabat Date: 14 et 15 février 2019. Les difficultés « du terrain » se trouvent de plus en plus au centre des préoccupations de la recherche en sciences sociales. Les cas extrêmes, comme la guerre et le terrorisme, annoncent même sa possible disparition. Mais se limiter à ces cas de figure, c'est laisser de côté un grand nombre de sujets autrement plus complexes et plus difficiles. Ce colloque souhaite les aborder en focalisant sur le Maghreb et le Moyen-Orient. Faire du terrain, au sens large (Ayijam, Bouju 2015, 11) ou au sens strict est au Maghreb et au Moyen-Orient souvent une gageure dans la mesure où presque tous les sujets, même les plus mondains, prêtent soit à la suspicion (« C'est pour la science ou pour la 'sécurité' ?»), la dérision (« Ah, ça, c'est un projet de recherche !?) ou au discrédit (« Que peut-on apprendre de plus que ce que l'on sait déjà ! »). Si les deux dernières réactions tentent de diminuer la portée de la recherche, la première fait d'elle un substitut de l'action politique par sa supposée proximité avec la sphère politique que cela soit dans la démarche, les résultats ou même dans la personne du chercheur, ou alors, elle la conçoit comme quelque chose qui s'expose à un risque. C'est cet aspect qui intéresse cet appel à communication. Inversement et paradoxalement, pour les instances de décision, pour les chercheurs et pour le public l'importance scientifique des travaux se jauge par la teneur politique de leurs thèmes et de leur 'frôlement' avec les enjeux politiques. Les travaux qui s'intéressent à des domaines comme l'art, les médias, la vie 'ordinaire', la sexualité, et même la violence au quotidien, sont alors affligés d'une insignifiance paralysante et sont perçus comme des quasi faits divers puisque distants de la politique. Or, ne nous trompons pas : qu'ils touchent directement ou pas à la politique, toutes ces travaux se font dans des contextes peu ouverts et exposent les chercheurs à des difficultés qui dépassent les rapprochements avec la politique et qui surviennent dès lors que les questions et les problématiques sont perçues comme dérangeantes. Une recherche n'est menacée que parce qu'elle est menaçante à des degrés divers. Dans des contextes autoritaires, ce qui est le cas de la quasi majorité des pays du Maghreb et du Moyen-Orient, la recherche est le plus souvent « sous surveillance », puisque tous les chercheurs doivent se soumettre aux autorisations administrative et policière qui la transforment la plupart du temps en zone minée. Or, ce contrôle, qui va de l'expulsion expéditive aux tentatives sournoises de découragement, n'épuise pas la gamme des difficultés et des défis, loin d'être propres à la région comme le montrent de nombreuses études (Brown 2009, Dolnick, Kovat-Bernat 2002).

This book is on the use of satellite television in the Maghreb. It is an interdisciplinary analysis that addresses the issues of the "public" , "publicization" and the political in the authoritarian North African context. Parallel to discussing the highly debated dichotomy between the private and the public , and the construction of identities and affiliations to Arabness, muslimness as welll as maghrebness as they relate to satellite television , the book offers new ways to think the relations between critique, ordinary people and the political.

How do we conceptualize the relationship between suffering, art, and aesthetics from within the broader framework of social, cultural, and political thought today ? How do we test the limits of such frameworks of thinking and speaking when reflecting on artworks that are situated at the very edges of everyday human experiences of vulnerability, loss, and ongoing suffering ? This book brings together a range of intellectuals from the social sciences and humanities to speak to cutting-edge theoretical debates around the questions of suffering in art and suffering and art.
Comment conceptualiser les relations entre souffrance, art et esthétique dans le cadre plus large de la pensée sociale, culturelle et politique contemporaine ? Comment tester les limites d’un tel cadre de pensée et de discours en réfléchissant sur des œuvres qui se situent à l’extrême des expériences humaines quotidiennes de la vulnérabilité, de la perte et de le souffrance ? Ce livre rassemble des spécialistes des sciences humaines et sociales qui contribuent au débat théorique d’avant garde sur la souffrance dans l’art et la souffrance et l’art.

Series Editor: Vincenzo Cicchelli, Gemass, University Paris Sorbonne/CNRS and University Paris Descartes
Specialists of adolescence and youth tend to consider these life stages as valuable barometers of social change. Indeed, new trends in society can be observed through the prism of young people who today find themselves under the spotlight as never before. At the same time, all over the planet, tremendous changes in everyday life can be witnessed currently. The main reason for launching a new book series focused on adolescence and youth from an international perspective is due to the lack of knowledge and understanding of the emergence of transnational shared practices, values, norms, behaviors, cultures and patterns among young people all over the globe.
The aim of this brand new book series is to be a forum for discussion and exchanges, a space for intellectual creativity on all questions relating to youth in a globalizing world. It will also provide a valuable and much needed crucible for comparative studies on youth from an international perspective. Its spirit is to be open to new suggestions coming from research in the social sciences. From an epistemological stance, what kind of concepts do sociologists of youth need in order to understand changes? Are classical sociological concepts on youth still useful and relevant? What kind of perspectives could be more suitable?
As this book series is situated within a mainstream research framework, we welcome original leading works written in a manner that is accessible to a wider audience.
Authors are cordially invited to submit proposals and/or full manuscripts to either the series editor, Vincenzo Cicchelli, or the Acquisitions Editor at BRILL, Marti Huetink.
