Offer Description Research framework
This post-doctoral research project is part of EUR FRAPP and its scientific program on the relationship between power and language, which is structured around three main themes.
Axis 1 - Multilingualism in institutions and organizations: examines language policy through a legal and institutional prism.
Axis 2 - Imagined Communities: draws on Benedict Anderson's concept to place languages in a global and multilingual geographical context, and in a context of mobility and migration that challenges identities and national imaginations.
Axis 3 - Ethics and management of intercultural projects: examines the specificity of multilingual situations in the South in relation to theories of globalization, in order to bring ethics and economics closer together, as proposed by Amartya Sen (1988), with particular attention to interculturality and situations of vulnerability, precariousness and marginalization.
These areas bring together interdisciplinary projects on "Imaginaries, geopolitical margins and biopolitical issues", such as the EUR FRAPP Multilingual Conceptual Dictionary. The Multilingual Conceptual Dictionary will reflect the circulation of knowledge between disciplines, academic traditions and languages. Its realization will be the result of a process of reflection in which language, culture and power are intertwined, taking into account the exercise of power inherent in the creation of any dictionary. The Multilingual Conceptual Dictionary will provide a concise overview of the issues and methods that cut across the three axes of the EUR, in a way that promotes open science.
The successful candidate will have a PhD in Humanities and Social Sciences and will be attached to one of the laboratories of the EUR consortium, depending on their discipline. They will develop a post-doctoral research project within the EUR FRAPP scientific program on the relationship between language and power, and more specifically on the translation and circulation of concepts in the humanities and social sciences.
The person recruited will be expected to:
participate in the scientific coordination of the EUR FRAPP multilingual conceptual dictionary project;
produce a scientific publication related to their post-doctoral research project in a journal listed in their discipline and organize a study day or conference with the same objective;
contribute to the dynamism and activities of EUR FRAPP (EUR scientific journal under development, conferences and summer schools).
