Charlotte Schmid
- Seminar EPHE Épigraphie et iconographie du monde indien "Dynasties majeures, majestés mineures", in collaboration with Valérie Gillet (EFEO).
Following on from the seminars of the two previous years, the year 2017-2018 is structured as an enquiry into the major and minor dynasties of the Tamil country. What is the nature of the control exercised by a major dynasty? And by a minor dynasty? How is the association with a territory shaped?
What kind of relationship is sustained between a minor dynasty and a "major" dynasty-s? Do "minor" dynasties maintain links with each other?
It is through this selection of questions, and others, that we will explore the sites where several dynasties cross, dynasties whose minor or major status remain to be determined.
From 9th November to 7th June, Thursdays from 13 to 15 h, ground floor room, Maison de l'Asie, 22 avenue du Président Wilson, 75016 Paris.

Séminaire EFEO Paris
On Monday 8th January, Luca Gabbiani (EFEO) speaks on "Narrer l'histoire en Chine impériale tardive: genres et enjeux" from 11h to 12h30.
Maison de l'Asie, 22, avenue du Président Wilson, 75116 Paris, Grand salon, 1st floor.

China is one of the great civilisations where writing is concerned. If, today, we know about the role played by orality in the transmission of a great part of the traditions, recourse to written sources has been ineluctable. In this session of the seminar, we shall be focusing on some of the great documentary corpora of the late imperial period (Ming and Qing dynasties) on which may provide support for historians in grasping the contours of its history. We shall trace the origins and present the characteristics as well as the use for the work of historians. We shall end this general survey by attempting to reveal some of the issues that may underlie their production at the time. This will allow for casting light on some of the major developments undergone by late imperial Chinese society and on the relationship it had with its own history.
