Europe seen from here and elsewhere

International Colloquium
 

♦ WHAT? The conference intends to examine in a critical way the geographical representations of the world in general - and Europe in particular - that are currently available both within and beyond Europe. 

This field is organized following 3 main streams :

... European Union and the world seen from abroad!           

Geographers are the most critical social scientists when it comes to the delimitation of borders of the so-called European continent.

Continents as Huntington’s civilisation are ideological productions that are certainly not based on natural facts. But they are deeply enhanced in the mind of European citizens and policy-makers because they were historically produced by Europeans as a tool of world power.

It is therefore crucial to examine which divisions of the world are perceived by people located outside the European Union, in order to produce a non Eurocentric view.

Laurent Beauguitte, researcher involved in the Work Package 5 - Flows and Networks - offer a serie of worksheets on basic concepts of social network analysis.

Periodically, sheets will be available to students and people looking to learn these tools of analysis.
