CONF.- Aesthetic Perceptions in the Mongolian Context, Paris, Oct. 20

Posted by: Yves Dorémieux <keldrx@yahoo.fr>

Paris (IESR, 14 rue Ernest Cresson, Metro Denfert-Rochereau)
October 20th, 2007 (9 am to 17:30 pm)

What are aesthetic perceptions in the Mongolian context? This workshop
aims at a better understanding of fundamental themes in Mongolia.
Among the Mongols and Kazakhs, the beautiful, the properly done, the
correct gesture appear one of the basis of daily life. We shall
explore the way the notion of "aesthetics", though somewhat uncommon
in cultural anthropology, may enable new analytic approaches in the
Mongolian context.

This workshop is organised by the "Altai" young scholars' network with
the sponsorship of the Asia Network (MSH & CNRS, Paris). Full program
and abstracts available on http://csmc.no-ip.org/~ymen/ .
