ArgumentThe oceans cover 71 percent of the Earth's surface and contain 97 percent of the Earth's water. &#160;One way to reinvent the ocean, as Philip E. Steinberg points out, is not to consider it as a space outside the human beings who settle inside, i.e., on the land, but to look upon it as a mobile and dynamic space that is central to the flows of modern society.Climate change and the rise in ocean levels have shown the precarious nature of human existence on earth. The Tsunami in 2004 shook the whole world by the amplitude of loss. As the contours of land are changing, known borders are shifting. This certainly has an impact, real and imaginary. &#160;Migrants fleeing poverty and war are using makeshift crafts.All over the world, the sea is being reinvented, as a means to resist and survive, as a strategic frontier to be redesigned (Arctic) and as home (cf. floating cities).RegistrationCompulsory registration viawww.univ-paris13.fr/cerap/actualites.htmlProgrammeJeudi 29 juin8h30 Accueil9h &#8211; 9h15 Mots de bienvenue par Didier GUEVEL&#160; Doyen de la facult&#233; de Droit, Sciences politiques et sociales et par Eric DESMONS, Directeur du CERAP.9h15 - 9h30&#160; Ouverture par Corinne ALEXANDRE-GARNER, Directrice du Centre Espace/Ecritures du CREA, Universit&#233; Paris Nanterre.Session 1 : Oc&#233;ans de savoir &#8211; Pr&#233;sidence Corinne Alexandre-Garner (Universit&#233; Paris Nanterre)9h30-10h - Ingrid SANKEY (ESPOL, Universit&#233; Catholique de Lille) : "Teaching Global History and Geography using the Indian Ocean as a unit of analysis".10h-10h30 - Michel NAUMANN (Universit&#233; de Cergy) : "Globalization and its three oceans".10h30&#8211;11h - Bhaskar SENGUPTA (Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata) : "Sinking of the coastline of Deltaic West Bengal and endangered marine flora and fauna due to discharge of toxic effluent carried by river Ganges".11h-12h - Key Note : Jean-Marie KOWALSKI (Ecole navale de Brest) : "Sailing the Indian Ocean in Ancient Times".12-14h &#8211; D&#233;jeunerSession 2 : La mer &#8211; mythes, histoires, m&#233;moires et r&#233;cits &#8211; Pr&#233;sidence Belkacem BELMEKKI (Universit&#233; d'Oran)14h-14h30 - Hans-Peter SOEDER (University of Munich) : "Water and Culture(s): An Exploration of the Mythic Dimensions of the Sea".14h30-15h - Jayita SENGUPTA (Chercheuse ind&#233;pendante) : "Sea: Mythological/ Mythical Dimensions in Indian Imagination".15h-15h30 - Nishat ZAIDI (Jamia Milia Islamia, Delhi) :&#160; "Oceanic Encounters with the Other in Travelogues by Early Muslim Travellers to the West".15h30-16h - Brinda MEHTA (Mills College Oakland, CA): "Historicizing the Sea in francophone Kala Pani Narratives".16h-16h30 - Subhendu MUND (BJB Autonomous College, Bhubaneswar) : "Odisha&#8217;s Maritime History, Odia Collective Memory and Identity Politics".16h30-16h45h &#8211; Pause caf&#233;16h45-18h - AG de la SARIVendredi 30 juin 2017Session 3 : La vague Amitav Ghosh &#8211; Pr&#233;sidence Michel Naumann (Universit&#233; de Cergy-Pontoise)8h45-9h15 - Dhana UNDERWOOD (Chercheuse ind&#233;pendante, Royaume Uni) : "L&#8217;image ambivalente de l&#8217;Oc&#233;an dans la trilogie de Amitav Ghosh, Sea of Poppies, (2008) River of Smoke&#160; (2011) et Flood of Fire, (2015) : r&#233;tribution ou r&#233;paration ?".9h15-9h45h - Ahmed MULLA (Universit&#233; de la R&#233;union) : "A mosaic on the move : different processes of creolisation in Amitav Ghosh&#8217;s Sea of Poppies".9h45-10h15 - Maria-Sabina DRAGA ALEXANDRU (Universit&#233; de Bucharest) : "A Sea of Violence and Love: Precarity, Eco-Fiction and the American Factor in Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide".10h15-10h45 - Anupama MOHAN (Presidency University, Kolkata) : "Maritime Transmodernities and the Ibis Trilogy".10h45-11h - PauseSession 4 : La mer-m&#233;taphore &#8211; Pr&#233;sidence C&#233;cile Oumhani (romanci&#232;re et po&#233;tesse)11h-11h30 - Ludmila VOLN&#193; (ERIAC, Universit&#233; de Rouen Normandie/Charles University) : "Salman Rushdie's Sea World: Haroun and the Sea of Stories".11h30-12h - Debasish LAHIRI (University of Calcutta) : "Sea-Ink Ledgers: From Poetry's Island Sojourns".12h-14h - D&#233;jeunerSession 5 : Perspectives r&#233;gionales et cartographie nationale &#8211; Geetha Ganapathy-Dor&#233; (Universit&#233; Paris 13)14h-14h30 - Donel VARGHESE (Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai) : "Through the Native Eyes: The Story of Varthamanapusthakam and the Historical Journey to Rome".14h30 -15h - Anchitha KRISHNA (Indian Institute of Technology, Chennai) : "Voices from the silent shores: A study of Matsyaganddhi by M.Sajitha".15h-15h30 - Debashree DATTARAY (Jadavpur University) : "A Sea for Encounters: Changing Epistemologies in T.S.
