This meeting will bring together three doctoral students who will explore, through their research, the complex processes of constructing identities in different historical, cultural and political contexts.

Elora Weill-Engerer, in Art History at the University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, will present her work on the way in which contemporary arts have contributed to the construction of Roma political identities since 1971. She will show how these artistic representations become an important vector of recognition and resistance for this marginalized community.

Anis Issa, doctoral student in Religious History and Anthropology at EPHE-PSL, will speak on the identity politics of the Coptic minority under the pontificate of Chenoudah III (1971-2012). It will offer an analysis of the evolution of identity strategies and religious and social issues for this Christian community in Egypt, in the midst of political and social transformation.

Finally, Elsa Novelli, doctoral student in Philosophy at ENS-PSL, will address the effects of neoliberalism on attention and individual identity. His work is interested in the way in which contemporary economic and social mechanisms shape our perception of ourselves and our relationship to society.

Through this evening, these three young researchers will offer a cross-reflection on the way in which identities are forged, expressed and negotiated in contemporary political, social and philosophical contexts. An essential moment of exchange and sharing to understand current issues linked to identity.

Take part in this enriching evening, which highlights the research of young PSL researchers, and take part in a stimulating debate.
