In a particularly sensitive health and social context, we are setting up our team seminar entitled "Regards sur la recherche: tools, concepts, approaches" in order to present our projects and work in progress, share and compare our working methods, but also: federate our strengths, foster cohesion between researchers and young researchers. The seminar is designed to provide a forum for meeting, reflection and interaction through the exchange of views with internal and external experts, and is aimed primarily at PLIDAM doctoral and post-doctoral students, researchers and teachers, as well as Master's students. However, it remains open to all, subject to availability.

Annual doctoral seminar "Foreign and foreignized language. How to approach, translate and teach new literatures?"

Responsible: Frosa Bouchereau

Set up in 2016, this seminar is aimed at doctoral students and teacher-researchers. The aim is to develop the thinking and research of axes 4 "Literature and culture in language didactics" and 3 "Lexicon and translation: which didactics?"
Work on literature and the use of literature in the foreign language classroom is rare. We set out to answer two questions:

• The place and use of literature in foreign language didactics?
• How to approach, translate and teach the "new" literatures born of the historical, social and human upheavals of the 20th century?

Annual doctoral seminar "Cultural areas. Construction of the object between history and epistemology"

Responsible: Madalina Joubert

The seminar focuses on the notion of cultural area in the dynamics of its construction as an object of study. Its epistemological foundations will be addressed, as well as the historical and institutional aspects that are its vectors. By promoting a reflexive perspective, we will address major issues for teaching and research at Inalco. Among these we might mention: the boundaries between cultural areas, the criteria on which the division of a cultural area is based (language, state existence, religion, "culture", etc.), the history of literate practices, the circulation of knowledge, the contribution of institutional archives.
