This volume has been the successful outcome of the 1st Konitsa Summer School in Anthropology, Ethnography and Comparative Folklore of the Balkans that took place from July 30 th to August 12 th, 2006 in Konitsa, Greece. The structure of the book corresponds to the different academic dimensions of the whole event. Our emphasis on the students' participation, on providing them with the opportunity to express themselves and publish their work, reflects the priority we have given to the educational dimension of our task. We hope this edition to be a forum for academic dialogue concerning the anthropology of the Balkans.

Cette Table Ronde sur Les revues scientifiques d'etudes juives: passe et avenir, qui s'est deroulee les 13 et 14 novembre 2002, a eu pour but de celebrer, avec deux annees de retard, le cent-vingtieme anniversaire de la creation, en 1880, de la Revue des etudes juives - une de toutes premieres revues specialisees qui ont marque l'emergence des etudes juives comme discipline scientifique a une epoque charniere. Au cours de ces deux jours, il s'est agi d'une part, de situer les origines de la Revue des etudes juives dans son contexte historique et intellectuel, d'autre part, de mettre en relief le role et le potentiel des revues scientifiques consacrees aux etudes juives dans le monde d'aujourd'hui.
