Yesterday and today, orientalist peregrinations around travel stories

In the presence of the authors Olivier Evrard (ethnologist, IRD) and Amaury Lorin (historian, IEP de Paris)

An ethnologist at the IRD, Olivier Evrard has worked mainly in Laos and Thailand since 1994.
His fieldwork addresses all forms of mobility, ancient (traditional mobilities of essarmer or hunter-gatherer groups, historical migrations and settlement formation) or contemporary (sedentarization under state coercion, temporary labor migrations, tourism and heritage) affecting identity markers, environmental use and interethnic relations.

Amaury Lorin, PhD in history from the Institut d'études politiques de Paris, lived in Rangoon from 2013 to 2015. There, he contributed notably to the "Culture" pages of Myanmar Times. He received the Prix Auguste Pavie from the Académie des sciences d'outre-mer 2005, the Prix des écrivains combattants 2006 and the Prix de thèse du Sénat 2012.
