“Transnational Mandinka circularities”
Mathilde Roussigné, Manu Sissoko, Agathe Moubembe and Gaëlle Roussigné
Focusing on “traditional” musical and dance practices in Mandinka dance circles, this study analyzes, from a transnational and materialist perspective, the effects of diasporic displacement and the challenges of reappropriation in French-speaking Europe, questioning the distancing of “tradition.”
“Dancing in ghettos and camps in Nazi Europe: between persecution and survival”
Laure Guilbert
Based on archaeological research of written, oral, and visual sources dating from before, during, and after the war, collected in Europe, the United States, and Israel, this project puts into perspective the trajectories of some three hundred people of all ages and nationalities in order to shed light on certain acts of agency, resistance, and resilience in the context of the extreme violence of the Holocaust.
