#33 BIG Podcast – « 1648-1815 : naissance des frontières modernes » PART 1 - With: Claire de Blois, Enseignant-Chercheur, Université d’Orléans, France;

Dans notre monde interconnecté, les frontières entre États jouent un rôle fondamental, mais leur histoire est souvent méconnue. Ces lignes sur la carte représentent des histoires de conflits, de négociations, de cultures en interaction et d'identités façonnées au fil du temps. Pour explorer cette thématique fascinante, nous avons le plaisir d'accueillir Claire de Blois, enseignant-chercheur en droit public à l’Université d’Orléans - Centre de recherche juridique Pothier -, spécialisée dans l’histoire du droit et des frontières pour une période bien spécifique 1648-1815, et qui a d’ailleurs fait une thèse sur ce thème. C’est une période fondamentale pour l’histoire du droit des frontières car c’est le moment de la naissance des frontières modernes, du concept moderne de frontière. Dans cette première partie du podcast, nous allons examiner l’histoire des frontières modernes à la lumière de l’histoire du droit. TIME MARKERS 00:00 L’histoire des frontières modernes à la lumière de l’histoire du droit 02:24 L’intérêt de l’histoire du droit pour l’étude des frontières 05:48 La méthodologie historique et les sources juridiques et diplomatiques 07:28 La frontière, objet pluridisciplinaire 08:39 L’originalité de la recherche historique et juridique 09:46 La justification de la recherche sur la frontière de nature terrestre et la période 1648-1815 16:43 D’où vient le terme de frontière ? 19:50 Les relations et distinctions sémantiques entre la « frontière » et la « limite » 22:41 Une évolution du concept de frontière dans l’édition de 1718 du Dictionnaire de l’Académie française 24:46 Les formes de la frontière qui précèdent les Traités de Westphalie 28:39 L’association des dimensions de la ligne et de la zone dans une frontière complexe Websites: BIG Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://biglobalization.org ⁠⁠⁠ JMN Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.php⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe: ⁠⁠⁠http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization⁠⁠⁠ Twitter: ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/big_uvic

#12 BIG Podcast - “Borderities and Territorialities of Indigenous Peoples” - With: Brian Thom – Associate Professor in the department of Anthropology at the University of Victoria, BC, Canada

Indigenous Peoples have a profound relationship with the land, the water and all the interlinked ecosystems. These relations are the basis of their conditions of existence and of their cultural, legal and political system. Better understanding this complexity of the existential interrelations of Indigenous peoples means better improving the government-to-government relationships and the consolidation of their sovereignties. It is also an opportunity to better understand the territorialities of Indigenous peoples and their types of borders. We discuss this with anthropologist Brian Thom. Time Markers: 0:00 Our Guest today: Brian Thom 1:59 Context of our discussion 3:00 Cultural Anthropology and Borders 6:59 Why Anthropology would be useful? 10:20 What is Ethnographic mapping? 14:10 The significance of Land for Indigenous Peoples 22:19 Some characteristics of Indigenous Territorialities 29:10 Borders and Indigenous Territorialities 37:32 “Shared exclusivity” 39:10 Role of Networks in Territorialities 48:09 Mismatch, or not, between lines and the relationships of Indigenous Peoples? 49:10 The limits of the approach in terms of Territorial Polygon 1:00:30 The Effects of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act 1:07:45 Indigenous Territorial Titles & Self-Determination Process Websites: BIG Website: https://biglobalization.org JMN Website: https://www.uvic.ca/humanities/intd/europe/eu-grants/network/hmsdata-20-23/index.php Subscribe: http://bit.ly/2AL0HbO Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BordersInGlobalization Twitter: https://twitter.com/big_uvic
