2e mardi du mois de 13 h 30 à 16 h 30 (salle A07_37, 54 bd Raspail 75006 Paris), du 13 novembre 2018 au 11 juin 2019. La séance du 9 avril est avancée au 2 avril (de 15 h 30 à 18 h 30, même salle)
Ce séminaire pluridisciplinaire se propose de présenter et de discuter les travaux en cours menés par des chercheurs et des doctorants au sein des axes de recherche du CEIAS : textualités, circulations des savoirs, espaces sociaux et inégalités, pluralité religieuse, fabriques urbaines. Chaque séance de trois heures accueillera des présentations autour d’une thématique commune, l’objectif étant de faire dialoguer soit des approches disciplinaires et méthodologiques, soit des aires culturelles, soit des moments de la recherche ou encore des publications récentes. Pensé avant tout comme un lieu d’échange et de discussion, ce séminaire est ouvert aux étudiants de master et aux doctorants, ainsi qu’aux non-spécialistes de l’Asie du Sud.
Literature on race in development (Kothari 2006, White 2002, McCarthy 2009) points to the hierarchies between the North and the South. Development is contested as a postcolonial project that divides the world into donors and beneficiaries perpetuating inequalities that were symptomatic of the colonial times. In certain contexts these underlying hierarchies can beget racism and ‘othering’. This paper examines if there are patterns of racial hierarchies implicit in the development co-operation between countries belonging to the Global South. Drawing from the recent attacks against Africans in India, I argue that the geographical and ideological homogeneity of the Global South and the horizontal relationships of South-South Co-operation are subject to contestation. The Global South is not immune to its own internal dynamics that involve power and influence. Taking India’s co-operation with Africa as the case study, I draw attention to the inequalities engendered by the discourse and practice of South-South Co-operation.

As Sino-Africa connections have increased in the last years, a number of episodes of Chinese racial discrimination towards Africans have also been reported and denounced. These accusations have been paralleled by popular media representations of Africa-China relations which shed light on still-much diffused racial and physical stereotypes about Africans in China. Starting from recent example of Anti-black racism in China (such as advertising, movies, or exhibitions), this presentation examines how China’s history, cultural influences and politics have contributed to shape the country’s outlook on racial identities. Indeed, racial views and intolerance in China are deeply grounded in a historically-grounded form of ethnocentrism and cultural nationalism, as well as in the global circulation of racial knowledge. Finally, we will see how racial discourse both intersects and challenges the official discourse promoted by the party-state.
