Maritime Knowledge for Asian Seas
An interdisciplinary dialogue between maritime historians and archaeologists
This conference will close a four-years French-Taiwanese research project (ANR/MOST) on Maritime Knowledge for Asian seas (seaFaring), which propose to reconsider, and possibly to review, our knowledge on China’s seafaring tradition through a new approach focusing on the practical know-how available to the craftsmen, seamen and merchants during the 16th-18th centuries, with special emphasis on sailing and trading knowledge and practices.

The economy of stone in the Meuse valley and surrounding regions (1st century BC - 18th century)
The first edition of conferences dedicated to stone economics during the historical periods, which was held in Nancy in 2015, underlined the vitality of the research carried out about this subject, as illustrated by the recent works led in Lorraine. The Stone by Stone series of meetings aim to promote the relevance of stone economics research and to facilitate discussions about the topic, through a cycle of international conferences held every three years. The upcoming Stone by Stone II Symposium will be held in Namur and Dinant in December 2018. It will be co-organized by the University of Namur (AcanthuM – ILEE), by the University of Louvain-la-Neuve (UCL), by the University of Brussels (ULB/VUB), by the University of Lorraine, by the INRAP and by the Maison du Patrimoine medieval mosan, and by the AWAP (Agence wallonne du Patrimoine).

Wine studies, wine worlds, networks and scales
Intermediation in the production, distribution and consumption of wine
L'objectif de cette rencontre réside dans une approche diachronique destinée à montrer les emboîtements d’échelles qui sont à l’oeuvre dans le « monde du vin », comme les réseaux multiformes qui s’entrecroisent et interfèrent dans ce milieu, de la production à la consommation du produit.

Coins and currency in the 10th and 11th centuries
Issuing authorities, political powers, economic influences
The 10th-11th centuries were crucial for the history of France. The centralized Carolingian state gave way to the regional principalities. Why this happened and how it affected society are core questions for historical research. The study of coins has a huge potential to contribute to this debate. Contrary to written documents, they survive in thousands. Contrary to other archaeological artefacts, coins are struck by official decision, reflecting the “state”. They are more closely datable them most other artefacts. Coins also circulate widely in many spheres of society, reflecting trade and economics.The conference Coins and currency in the 10th and 11th centuries takes advantage of this leap forward to reopen the debate. The aim of the conference is to bring numismatists, archaeologists and historians together in order to confront their ideas for the mutual benefit of historical knowledge.

City and capitalism - 3rd biennial of urban and territorial sociology
3e biennale de la sociologie de l'urbain et des territoires (RT9/AFS)
Cinquante ans après la publication de l’ouvrage Le droit à la ville, d'Henri Lefebvre, la troisième biennale de la sociologie de l'urbain et des territoires propose d’interroger les interactions entre les dynamiques du capitalisme et les dynamiques urbaines, et plus largement les logiques économiques et marchandes de la production et de la transformation des territoires, ainsi que leur articulation avec les politiques et les mouvements sociaux.

Storage: production, accumulation and the redistribution of cereals in the medieval and modern west
Le 40e Colloque de Flaran est l’occasion, pour les historiens et les archéologues, de tenter un premier panorama des problématiques relatives au stockage alimentaire, en particulier céréalier, dans l’Europe médiévale et moderne, en s’attachant aux dispositifs matériels des mises en réserve (des modestes greniers aux zones à silos, des granges villageoises aux entrepôts urbains), ainsi qu’aux techniques de conservation. Ils s’intéresseront en outre à l’emplacement et à l’environnement des structures de stockage. On explorera les formes de prélèvement, de dépôt et de répartition qui ont défini l’organisation des sociétés européennes avant le Marché, tout en alimentant parfois les marchés locaux.

Histories and economic dynamics
30 years of the Comité pour l'histoire économique et financière de la France
Le Comité pour l’histoire économique et financière de la France (CHEFF) fête ses 30 ans. À cette occasion, le bureau de la Recherche de l’Institut de la gestion publique et du développement économique (ministères économiques et financiers) organise un colloque international le 25 septembre 2018, au centre Pierre-Mendès-France du ministère de l’Économie et des Finances, sur le thème Histoire(s) et dynamiques économiques. Cet évènement se veut à la fois un moment de bilan historiographique et de débats sur les enjeux et les chantiers de l’histoire économique aujourd’hui. À travers l’exemple du CHEFF, ce colloque propose également un retour sur expérience de la place et du rôle d’un comité d’histoire placé à l’intersection du monde de la recherche et de celui de l’action. À ce titre, il permet de questionner l’histoire et le devenir de ce type de structure.

Immoral Money and War Profiteurs (1870-1945)
Ce colloque se concentre sur les accusations de corruption lancées contre les entreprises qui, dans l’aire européenne, ont réalisé des profits élevés en temps de guerre ou de sorties de guerre, entre le dernier tiers du XIXe siècle et la première moitié du XXe siècle. Le poids des guerres comme temps forts historiques se retrouve dans la question des normes publiques. À l’heure où la contradiction potentielle entre gains individuels et intérêt collectif est exacerbée, des sacrifices considérables sont accomplis au nom du salut national et de la collectivité, et le patriotisme est exigé de chacun. Dans le même temps, une dynamique économique particulière voit le jour : les décisions se prennent dans un temps accéléré, les dépenses publiques augmentent de façon considérable, et d’importantes sommes d’argent sont injectées dans le système.

Publicity, space and time (Europe, 17th to 19th century)
Although bankruptcy was a rather exceptional situation in the life of a merchant, it has explanatory power for routines of economic stakeholders, for their space of experience and their horizon of expectation. We can therefore use the irregularity of failure as an indicator of regularities. Considering the long, non-uniform and unsteady transition from merchant capitalism to industrial and financial capitalism, we suggest to start a dialogue between modernistes and contemporanéistes. The workshop focuses on the various forms of contextualizing business failure and puts forward three major research axes: Covering and Uncovering: Secrecy and Publicity; Economic Space and Area of Jurisdiction; Temporal Narratives of (In)Solvency.

Broadcasting health and disease
Bodies, markets and television, 1950s-1980s
In the television age, health and the body have been broadcasted in many ways: in short health education films, school television, professional training materials, TV ads, documentaries, reality TV shows and news, as well as stand-alone videos distributed to specific audiences. This three-day conference proposes an exploration of how television formats have influenced and staged bodies, health and healthy practices from local, regional, national and international perspectives, and how these TV programmes spread the conviction that viewers could and should invest in their health and shape their own body.
