Israel-Palestine seminar Iremam / Mesopolhis 2023
Séance 4 : Alicia Magnolfi (Centre Max Weber) / Yann Scioldo Zurcher (EHESS)

Organised by doctoral students at IREMAM (UMR 7310) and MESOPOLHIS (UMR 7064), this public seminar aims to provide a monthly meeting place for researchers, post-doctoral students, doctoral students and masters students in the humanities and social sciences whose research focuses on Israeli-Palestinian spaces. The aim of these regular meetings is to provide a forum where post-doctoral and doctoral students can present their current research and receive feedback from researchers and teacher-researchers working in the region. 
Following on from the ANR programme Mobilities, Borders and Conflicts in Israeli-Palestinian Spaces (2007-2011) and the Palestinian Spatialities and Temporalities research seminar (2017-2020), this monthly meeting is part of a drive to decompartmentalise the fields of Israeli and Palestinian studies, which are strongly structured by the history of the conflict and the mobilisation of the humanities and social sciences in the construction of major national narratives. This interdisciplinary seminar will provide an opportunity to share our tools and to problematise our respective approaches and concepts from both an epistemological and a methodological perspective. It will also provide an opportunity to reflect on the processes that have contributed to the compartmentalised structure of knowledge production in this part of the world up to the present day. The six 2-hour sessions, scheduled to take place between February and June 2023, will be divided into three parts. The first part will be devoted to a 20-minute summary presentation of the written work of one of the doctoral students. This will be followed by a 30-minute argumentative commentary by a post-doctoral student, researcher or teacher-researcher, based on the text provided in advance. Finally, the debate will be opened up to the room for collective discussion, particularly with the other doctoral students. The format will be hybrid (face-to-face/visioconference) and a podcast will be produced for each seminar.

Alicia Magnolfi (Max Weber Centre) / Yann Scioldo Zurcher (EHESS), 2pm - 4pm, room A219, MMSH, Aix en Provence            

Alicia Magnolfi, doctorante du Centre Max Weber, interviendra pour présenter l’avancée de ses travaux lors d’une intervention intitulée “Vers une Terre promise ? Parcours d’émigration et d’engagements en Israël de jeunes français juifs, originaires d’Afrique du Nord”. A partir de l’observation des trajectoires de jeunes français juifs d’origine nord-africaine installés en Israël, ses recherches proposent une analyse sociologique de ces migrants singuliers. Pour discuter cette communication, la sociologue Sylvaine Bulle spécialiste des questions d’engagement (Professeur de sociologie, ENSA) et Yann Scioldo-Zurcher historien des migrations contemporaines (CR CNRS, EHESS) apporterons un éclairage pluridisciplinaire à cette recherche en cours.
