Argumentaire
Thanks to the Agreement of Cultural and Scientific Collaboration (2017-2024) between the University of Florence and the Mongolian State University of Arts and Culture-MSUAC in Ulaanbaator, a deep relationship was developed between our Institutions and Mongolian ones, being MONGOLIA an emerging country at economic, social and cultural levels, not yet well known here.
During the first years of the Agreement, the Florence University team carried out three missions in collaboration with the MSUAC team, also developing a tight collaboration with the French Scholars of INALCO, CEMS, UNIVERSITY OF SORBONNE and LAS-COLLÈGE DE FRANCE. Furthermore, the Humanistic Library of Florence University has started a specific collection of volumes and monographies about Mongolia, a very important initiative in the Italian Libraries scenario.
Today, through this collaboration between Mongolia, Italy, and France, and thanks to renown scholars and experts from all over Europe, such Institution’s network is able to organize an international debate with the twofold aim of starting a systematic dialogue between scholars, and disseminating further knowledge about Mongolia in Europe.
For this purpose, an International Workshops and a National Seminar are organized in live streaming from Florence University, respectively on the 29th and on the 30th of October 2020, as preparatory meetings for the announced International Conference MONGOLIA2021.
The participants in the International meetings are invited to debate about the new Mongolian challenges in the contemporary global scenario, from the climate change to the future of nomadic cultures, from the environment and natural resources protection to the neoliberal market situation, with a special reference to the cashmere production and its commerce between Mongolia and Tuscany.
The meetings will be precious occasions for the participants to present their works and research interests, as well as their contributions to the foreseen International Conference Mongolia 2021.

2 décembre 2020 : Journée transversale des doctorants de l’EPHE
Comme chaque année, les doctorantes et doctorants de l’école doctorale de l’EPHE organisent une journée transversale, qui aura lieu cette année sur Zoom, le mercredi 2 décembre 2020.
La Journée transversale vous invite à aborder le thème “(Se) Représenter”. De la représentation artistique à celle en sciences dures, elle procède de la conviction que les doctorants et enseignants-chercheurs en sciences humaines profitent beaucoup de la connaissance des problématiques des sciences de la vie et de la terre, et que les sciences humaines apportent aux doctorants et chercheurs en sciences de la vie et de la terre une perspective qui peut enrichir leur propre démarche scientifique.
À 11h15 dans la session B interviendra Léa Filiu, “De la steppe aux faubourgs des villes, la sédentarisation des populations nomades modifie-t-elle leurs représentations du monde ? Reconfigurations des espaces domestiques et résistance des schèmes de la pratique représentationnelle chez les Tuva de Sibérie du Sud”.
