As an exception to our usual pattern, the EFEO Paris is presenting two seminars in June.
- Monday, June 15 (11 a.m.-12:30 p.m.): presentation by Ken George (Australian National University) on the topic "Cosmography and Politics in Upland Southeast Asia: A Set of Questions," Maison de l'Asie (22, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, 2nd floor meeting room).

In his recent book, The Art of Not Being Governed: An Anarchist History of Upland Southeast Asia, political scientist James C. Scott argues that the relatively egalitarian peoples of Zomia (the mountain region spanning mainland Southeast Asia and southwest China) have historically pursued a kind of statelessness that would allow them refuge from political subjugation by lowland states. Neither cosmography nor gender factor significantly into his account of upland-lowland political relations. Using materials from my research and fieldwork in upland South and West Sulawesi, Indonesia-quite far from Zomia-I treat cosmography as crucial to the upland political imagination in its variable embrace and evasion of the lowland state.

- Monday, June 22, at the Cernuschi Museum, at 10:50 a.m., Mael Bellec (mounter of the exhibition) is talking on L'École de Lingnan: L'Éveil de la Chine modern [The Lingnan School: Birth of modern China]."

The last great school of traditional Chinese painting, the Lignan school, started in Guangdon (the modern region of Canton), a province long open to international trade and foreign influences. At the beginning of the 20th century, Chen Shuren and the Gao brothers - Gao Jianfu and Gao Qigeng - were concerned about the waning of political and cultural life in Chin. Like many of their contemporaries - artists and thinkers - they turned to Japan for models in establishing a Chinese modernity. They were inspired by the Nihonga movement reviving traditional Japanese painting, and they developed an original pictorial style. The Lingnan school adopted the naturalist subjects typical of the Japanese sensitivity. In addition, themes inspired by contemporary reality and others portraying the people in their everyday activities played a role not appearing until then in Chinese art. The rise of a sense of nationalism in response to the Manchu State's loss of authority along with foreign interference led these artists to question the social and political implications of their work and to confront directly the tragic events currently under way
