Conferences and Workshops

Conferences and workshops on specific topics are typically organized in collaboration with Japanese and European universities or research institutes. The École Française d’Extrême-Orient and the Institute for Research in Humanities are the preferred partners for these conferences, but the collaboration in this field is not exclusive. For over thirty years, the School has been a presence in the international scientific community among foreign research centers in Japan, providing a venue to present ongoing research findings.

DISTANCES 3

The Multidimensional Implications of Distancing: Rethinking and Reshaping Spaces in a Multidisciplinary Framework

Hybrid Workshop November 15-16, 2024

Workshop website

 

Concept

The concept of distance has evolved to encompass far more than mere physical separation. Today, distance represents a complex interplay of social, economic, logistical, psychological, and demographic dimensions, each influencing and reshaping the spaces we inhabit, whether physical, virtual, or abstract. This event (in its third edition) aims to explore the multidisciplinary implications of various forms of distancing, highlighting how these concepts have spurred innovative theoretical and practical developments across different research fields. The dynamic interaction between different types of distances, as aimed throughout this Workshop, is fostering new perspectives and research paradigms that are crucial for addressing contemporary challenges in a multidimensional mode.

 

This hybrid Workshop will be held on site and via Zoom
