Research project or operation
A Chair dedicated to Minorities Studies has been opened at the University of Strasbourg for the
period 2024-2028 (Chaire de Professeur Junior, LinCS-UNISTRA). A multidisciplinary team is
set up to conduct participatory action research. At this stage, this research is a cross-history of
animism and psychiatry in Europe, and particularly in France. One of the research objectives is
to highlight the manifestations of animism in European/Western history, focusing on ancestral
knowledge developed and mobilized locally within a therapeutic and spiritual framework.
Ancestral knowledge refers to the body of knowledge, practices, beliefs, techniques and
worldviews developed by communities in interaction with their environment. They are passed
down from generation to generation, mainly by word, practice and ritual, and have a sacred
dimension. The postdoctoral fellow will carry out a personal action research in connection with
this research objectif and the themes of mental health and ancestral knowledge developed within
the Chair.

Activities
➢ Description of the research activities :
Action research aims to produce scientific knowledge by engaging in actions that contribute to
social transformation. With this in mind, and in order to complete the socio-historical and
anthropological approach already present (axe 2 & 3), the post-doctoral fellow will :
- Develop historical, historiographical or philosophical research on ancestral knowledge. The
research will focus on ancestral knowledge specific to France and, more broadly, to Europe
and the West.
- Include and develop an action within the research proposal
➢ Related activities :
- Promotion of the research results through scientific communications and publications
- Co-construction of a pedagogical corpus relating to feminist, decolonial and ecological
Humanities
- Co-animation of the Chair through the organization of a seminar and an international
colloquium

Skills
➢ Qualifications/knowledge :
- PhD in Humanities and Social Sciences, a PhD in history or philosophy will be appreciate
- In-depth knowledge in Minority Studies and especially in feminist, decolonial and ecological
Humanities

➢ Operational skills/expertise :
- Ability to develop action research
- Ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team and in participatory action research
➢ Personal qualities :
- Humility
- Autonomy
- Reflexivity
- Ability to self-analysis

Environment and context of work
➢ Presentation of the laboratory/unity :
Founded on January 2022, the Laboratoire interdisciplinaire en études culturelles - UMR 7069
LinCS - has set itself the mission of developing Cultural Studies in France. The three pillars of
LinCS's interdisciplinary approach are social and cultural anthropology, sociology and
contemporary history. Conceived in constant dialogue with current international research, this
interdisciplinarity is mobilized around three key themes: embodying (studies of the body and
health), altering (the “other”, as conceived according to societies, cultures or eras) and deviating
(the study of transgressions, relationships to norms or laws).
➢ Hierarchical relationship :
The postdoctoral fellow will be attached to the LinCS and will work under the supervision of
Rachida Brahim, holder of the Minority Studies Chaire.
