Je ne saurais que trop vous conseiller de participer à cet appel (UMI Transitions CNRS/NYU) Memory and Memorialization: Representing Trauma and War (date limite 25 juin 2011). J'ai participé à ce programme l'année dernière. Cette année, 12 bourses de 1 à 2 mois sont proposées. Elles comprennent le billet d'avion et surtout le logement à New York, ainsi que statut de Visiting Scholar à NYU et par conséquent l'entrée aux multiples bibliothèques de l'Université (24h/24). L'équipe sur la place est très sympa et un espace de travail est mis à la disposition des jeunes chercheurs. Autant vous dire que l'environnement de travail est quasi-parfait.Our  funding source requires us to limit these fellowships to doctoral  candidates and post-doctoral scholars studying or working in France or  the US. Those residing in France will be invited to New York; those  residing in the US to Paris and/or Caen. Research topics need not relate  to either the United States or France, and candidates from all  disciplines are encouraged to apply.Fellowships  will be timed to coincide with our research seminars taking place in  New York and Paris from October 2011 to May 2012. All fellowship  applications should indicate the month or months when you would like to  be in either New York or Paris.Fellows  will play an integral role in our research project, "Memory and  Memorialization: Representing Trauma and War." This project brings  together many of the world's leading academic experts and researchers on  memory (in its historical, socio-cultural and neurological  manifestations) with top museum professionals and other "memory workers"  whose charge is the development and operation of contemporary memorial  museums. In doing so, we combine theory and practice both to study  questions of memory and memorialization and to place those questions  before the public at large. The partnership will create a formal,  ongoing platform for exchanges across national, professional and  disciplinary boundaries, and it will play a major role in training  graduate students working in these areas.The  program focuses on four prominent issues. 1) the perception and  representation of historical events; 2) the complex relationships  between history and memory; 3) the workings of trauma and resilience; 4)  the cognitive and neurobiological dimensions of memory. This original,  innovative and interdisciplinary program is unique in its scope and  contemporary relevance: it involves two major research institutions (NYU  and the CNRS); two major memorial museums (Caen and September 11); and  cuts across a variety of disciplines in the humanities, social sciences  and cognitive sciences.Fellows are  expected to participate in the seminars that take place while they are  in residence. They are also asked to submit a 20-page research paper by  the end of the summer following their research stay. A selection of the  papers will be published in a volume edited by Denis Peschanski and  Edward Berenson.1.. A 1,000-word (4-page) description of the candidate's research project. 2. A CV 3.
