Overview
History
The teaching of oriental languages and civilizations in France date back to the creation of the College de France at the initiative of Guillaume Bude. The interest of the humanists for the ancient languages was indeed very quickly doubled by orientalists a need for diplomacy to Francis I. From that time, a highly specialized education is given in this framework.
Origins (1669) until 1914
The special school of oriental languages was established, especially under the impetus of Lakanal by the National Convention (Decree-Law of 10 Germinal Year III / 30 March 1795 ).
It opened its doors in the walls of the National Library in Paris, rue Neuve des Petits-Champs, with a mission to teach oriental languages alive "of proven value in politics and commerce." The first languages were taught the Arabic "literary and vulgar", the Turkish and Crimean Tatar , the Persian and Malay.
It grew steadily during the nineteenth century, adding new languages and merging with the School of Youth Language established by Colbert in 1669 to train interpreters for the languages of the Levant.
In 1874 , the school moved into a mansion located at the corner of Rue des Saints-Peres and Rue de Lille.
From 1914 to 1984
In 1914 , the school becomes a "National School of Modern Oriental Languages (ENLOV) and receives a special status which will remain in force until 1968 , when the student movement led him to integrate the institution in the university sector as "University Centre of Modern Oriental Languages." This "CULOV" does not keep that name and becomes long by decree of 3 February 1971 the National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilizations (INALCO), attached until 1984 at the University of Sorbonne Nouvelle (Paris III).
The various departments crowded at 2 rue de Lille then dispersed "provisionally" in various academic centers devices: Dauphine , Asnieres , Clichy or in rented premises in Paris: Quai Voltaire , Censier , rue Broca , rue Riquet. New languages in addition to other research activities and develop. Interdisciplinary departments are increasing, as the preparation center for international trade ( international trade ), the sector of International Studies (HEI, particularly devoted to the preparation of foreign competition), the industry communication and intercultural training, automatic processing language and multilingual engineering, etc..
In the years 1972 - 1,975 , consolidation into a single site (Cergy-Pontoise, Marne-la-Vallee) and the proposed conversion of the Institute of International University of Language and Communication (UNILCO) fail despite appearance of precursor project championed by Rene Sieffert and Francis Labriolle.
Since 1985
Since 1985 , INALCO has a status of large institution (such as the Institute of Political Studies in Paris for example). It aims to teach the languages of Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Oceania, Africa and indigenous populations of America, as well as geography, history, institutions, political, economic and social conditions of countries concerned .
In the years 1990 , further consolidation projects fail (with the most advanced at the Ecole Normale Superieure for girls in the boulevard Jourdan ).
It's finally in the ZAC Paris Rive Gauche "square Tolbiac" in a field south of the future of France Avenue between rue Chevaleret , Cantagrel and Great Mills , that will be implemented INALCO with the University Library Language and Civilization (BULAC), as part of a " cluster of languages and civilizations of the world. " The architectural choice was made in early 2005 for Lion Workshop.
