Néjad Melih Devrim (1923-1995), Turc de l’École de Paris, artiste lyrique du signifiant : Un artiste affranchi de l’École de Paris
The artistic itinerary of Nejad Melih Devrim (1923–1995), a Turkish artist who settled in Paris in 1946, raises questions about his relative oblivion in France despite a promising career. An actor in the “new trends” of post-war Parisian art, he often embodied a synthesis between Turkish artistic traditions and the modernity of the École de Paris, an orientalist reading of his work that reduces it to a simple fusion of Western and Byzantine influences. However, his career, marked by his cosmopolitan location and his choice of exhibitions abroad, bears witness to a more personal and independent style. Despite gaining recognition in Paris and taking part in numerous salons, his departure for Poland in 1968 marked the beginning of his oblivion in France. Although his work is being rediscovered, notably at the Centre Pompidou, it remains relevant to reevaluate Nejad Melih Devrim\u27s place in a globalized art history, taking into account his cosmopolitan context.Born in Istanbul in 1923, Nejad Devrim came from a family of artists and intellectuals. After his education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Istanbul in Léopold-Lévy’s studio, the artist arrives in Paris in 1946 where he was introduced to Alice B. Toklas, Gertrude Stein’s life partner. Nejad Devrim’s first solo show in 1947 was a success, and French art critics soon considered him to be one of city’s most promising young artists. Devrim went on to be exhibited by some of the best galleries in Paris, where he was recognized by the critic Charles Estienne. In 1950, Devrim was exhibited by Sidney Janis, in partnership with Leo Castelli. It was their first confrontation between American and European artists in the United States. In “Young Painters in US & France”, Devrim was shown alongside de Kooning, Kline, Pollock, Rothko… In 1952, he created Salon d’Octobre to defend independence of artists. Between 1948 to 1962 he also participated in Salon de Mai, Réalités Nouvelles, École de Paris group shows at galerie Charpentier. Recognized today as an artist from the School of Paris, critics and art historians include Nejad in their dictionaries and opus works about independent and abstract art from this period. In his abstract paintings Nejad kept the Ottoman legacy alive and he succeeded in combining a singular synthesis between East and West. In his “discovery-trips” at the end of 1960s, mostly in the Middle East, Devrim wrote about his upheaval going face to face with landscape, nature and beauty themes that he tried to translate in his work. After relocating to Poland in 1968, he dies in this country in 1995.
 
Dr. Demir Fitrat Onger, collectionneur du groupe du Gymnase à Paris: Entretien
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, les artistes turcs de l\u27École de Paris jouent un rôle significatif dans la scène artistique parisienne, participant activement aux débats entre abstraction et figuration. Peintres et sculpteurs turcs exposent dans des salons majeurs comme le Salon de Mai et le Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, affirmant leur présence au sein de l\u27avant-garde parisienne. Leurs interactions avec des figures influentes de l\u27art moderne, ainsi que leur participation à des expositions clés, témoignent de leur intégration dans le milieu artistique français. La mémoire de cette génération, longtemps négligée, est aujourd’hui préservée grâce à de nombreux acteurs des mondes de l’art. Dr. Demir Fitrat Onger, qui a constitué une collection majeure et entretenu des liens étroits avec ces artistes, en fait partie. Son témoignage éclaire leur contribution à la modernité artistique mais aussi leur vie de bohème et leur manque de reconnaissance.After the WWII, Turkish artists of the École de Paris played a significant role in the Parisian art scene, actively participating in the debates between abstraction and figuration. Turkish painters and sculptors exhibited at major salons such as the Salon de Mai and the Salon des Réalités Nouvelles, asserting their presence within the Parisian avant-garde. Their interactions with influential figures in modern art, as well as participation in key exhibitions, testify to their integration into the French artistic milieu. The long-neglected memory of this generation is today preserved thanks to many players in the art world. Dr. Demir Fitrat Onger, who built up a major collection and maintained close ties with these artists, is one of them. His testimony sheds light on their contribution to artistic modernity, but also on their bohemian lifestyle and lack of recognition
Ethnographic Intimacy: Navigating Friendships and Vulnerabilities in the Field
In recent decades, anthropologists have increasingly recognised the researcher’s vulnerability as an inherent and indispensable element of ethnographic field research. This article shares my ethnographic fieldwork experiences navigating the intricate relationships of a coliving facility in Ho Chi Minh City. I argue that emotional engagement within fieldwork relationships—embracing the dual role of researcher and friend—can yield unexpected insights. Nevertheless, there are inherent complexities in negotiating a network of relationships that demand a high degree of emotional resilience, especially for anthropologists conducting research “at home”.

Migration, Representation, and Reflexivity.: An Intergenerational Dialogue on Current Issues
Contemporary anthropology increasingly confronts challenges of representation amid evolving cultural, social, and political landscapes. This special feature investigates how anthropologists engage in multimodal practices—from academic writing and digital media to performance and visualization—to convey research and negotiate power dynamics. It examines the transformation of field data into anthropological products, highlighting how politics, decoloniality, and ethical considerations shape representation. Through a two-part, student-led workshop, graduate students and practitioners explored alternative methods, employing self-reflection, performance, and creative visualization to address historical imbalances and misrepresentations. The resulting dialogue underscores the importance of reflexivity and engaged research practices that challenge traditional disciplinary boundaries. By integrating diverse perspectives and innovative techniques, the contributions call for a reimagined anthropology that embraces complexity and inclusivity while dismantling entrenched hierarchies. This feature ultimately advocates for a dynamic, performative approach to representing the “other” and rethinking scholarly practices. It offers a transformative roadmap for future anthropological inquiry with rigor.Contemporary anthropology increasingly confronts challenges of representation amid evolving cultural, social, and political landscapes.

The institutionalisation of research and innovation in Swiss sports federations – Analysis of the status quo
Introduction
The closure of the federal sport commission (ESK) in 2011 led to a decentralization of research and innovation in Swiss sport. In 2018, the federal government made a shift of responsibilities towards the sports federations with Swiss Olympic distributing a fund by CHF 1.5 million. This fund enables the federations to hire embedded scientists and project-based funding. With recent mediocre results of research and innovation in the high-performance systems (Kempf et al., 2021), the question arises how Swiss sports federations institutionalize research and innovation on an intra-organizational level.
Methods
In order to answer the research question, a qualitative content analysis was conducted on publicly available documents (website, strategy documents and annual reports) of 30 Swiss sports federations. The categories for the analysis (strategic implementation, institutional implementation and resource allocation, systematic management of sources of innovation, structured innovation processes, organizational culture and knowledge management) were defined deductively based on economic literature (Picot et al., 2020) and focussing on the institutionalization of innovation in the service industry (Storey et al., 2016). Economic literature was considered because no large-scale review or meta-analysis on the institutionalization of research and innovation in sport could be identified and sport follows a service-dominant logic with service as the fundamental basis of exchange (Woratschek et al., 2014). Furthermore, three focus groups with federation representatives were held.
Results
The publicly available documents revealed a medium to low institutionalization of research and innovation in most federations analyzed. While most federations vaguely mention the topics in their strategy, evidence for institutionalization, dedicated resource allocation, established innovation processes or institutionalized knowledge management is scarce. Furthermore, a significant imbalance between federation was found. While one federation has shown evidence in five out of six categories, most federations only show activity in 1-3 categories. In addition, the research focus of the federations is on competitive sport. The results of the focus groups match the results of the content analysis.
Discussion/Conclusion
The low level of institutionalization of research and innovation in Swiss sports federations could be one factor explaining the low level of Sport specific research in Switzerland. With federations having key responsibilities in the Swiss sport research and innovation ecosystem, the question for the factors hindering their engagement in research and innovation practices arises. Research and innovation are important factors to remain agile in the face of the major challenges posed by megatrends and rapid technological change. Further research is needed to identify the underlying challenges of federations, for them to stay internationally competitive and adaptable to societal changes.
