Territories of Éthiopie. Stories, areas, powers
Symposium : on December 10th, 11th and 12th, 2008
Addis Abeba (Ethiopia) / French Centre of Ethiopian studies (CFEE)
Summary
The history of the territories of Éthiopie was often spelt from the point of view of central power, Christian State, by an inherent bias in used material. Really, the most part of the historical texts are the product of the central State and deliver as a result a vision centered and idealised of the building of this State for the XIIIth century until our days. The purpose of this symposium is to move look away from the centre to examine the relations which join a sovereign installed in a mobile central region and a constituted space by numerous territories all without the same status nor without the same degree of correlation with the royal administration. The feature of this symposium is to envisage the territorialisation of these areas in its report in time, particularly by considering the political uses of history.
