Mapping Aristocratic Spaces. Estates, Forests, and Gardens (Europe, 16th–19th Centuries)

Whether used to map or describe a territory, to develop, exploit, or promote it, the map gradually emerged as one of the primary tools for the appropriation of aristocratic spaces in modern Europe. This cartography, widely utilized by historians of parks, gardens, forests, and estates, has however rarely been studied for its own sake. This conference therefore aims to examine the methods of its production, uses, and dissemination, while exploring its role in the transformation of the environment and in the reconfiguration of an aristocracy that considered land ownership as a foundation of its social identity.

Environnement et écologie sur les réseaux socionumériques : récits, acteurs et dynamiques

Environment and ecology on social media: narratives, actors and dynamics

Le colloque propose d’interroger la manière dont les espaces numériques participent à la construction des représentations sociales relatives au changement climatique et aux transitions environnementales. Il s’agira d’examiner à la fois les contenus publiés et les logiques socio-techniques qui structurent leur production, leur circulation et leur hiérarchisation, ainsi que leurs modalités d’appropriation par les communautés en ligne.

The Most Important of All Ages. Children, Childhood(s) and Childlikeness in Soviet Cinema

The profound symbolic significance of the figure of the child in Soviet cinema has elevated it to a central—if not essential—principle of that cinematic tradition. Such a dimension calls for a sustained and renewed examination of the occurrences and variations of this figure, in order to further map its historical, ideological, mythopoetic, poetic, and philosophical metamorphoses within the Soviet filmic space. Our inquiry will address both the “childlike principle” that permeates characters in Soviet cinema and the representation of childhood itself—its defining features and substance, its cultural plurality, its departure or loss, its mediation through memory, its nostalgia—as well as the historical biases that shape its conception and delimit its perception.

A Place in Time

A Summer School for the Study of Women and Temporalities in Early Modern Europe

The goal of this summer school is to help doctoral students develop an interdisciplinary reflection on the intersection between gender and time in the early-modern period. With the help of invited keynote speakers, workshops around secondary literature, primary written and visual sources (notably from the Palais des Beaux-Arts’s collections), and discussions around the candidates’ research, we aim to foster interest in this framework and complexify approaches to gender studies and key themes such as the question of agency or the inscription of women in history.

Living and Dwelling in the Mediterranean Space: Practices, Representations, and Environment

Les sociétés méditerranéennes d’aujourd'hui ne peuvent être comprises sans le poids des configurations héritées, ni sans la radicalité des ruptures en cours. Ce dialogue entre les temps est en lui-même un objet de recherche. Par la richesse de ses axes thématiques et l’ambition de son programme scientifique, ce colloque international est une invitation à transgresser les frontières disciplinaires sans les effacer, à articuler les temporalités sans les confondre, et à penser la Méditerranée non comme un simple arrière-plan géographique, mais comme un espace vécu, construit et perpétuellement réinventé par ses habitants. Ce colloque ambitionne de rassembler des chercheurs (historiens, archéologues, anthropologues, géographes, sociologues, urbanistes) afin de croiser les regards sur une même réalité complexe.

Anarchist Spaces: Practices, Ideas, and Networks (c. 1870–Present)

This conference proposes to examine the spaces that self-avowed anarchists, as well as those who borrow from anarchism but do not identify with the ideology, have invested, produced and contested since the second half of the 19th century. The concept of “space” should be understood capaciously. It can be material and immaterial, ideological or symbolic, permanent or temporary, integrated or liminal, open or closed, real or imagined. Likewise, “anarchism” is to be understood broadly. For the purposes of this conference, anarchist spaces are not only those linked to a self-identified anarchist movement (in all its multiplicities). They also include spaces that may rather be seen (or see themselves) as autonomous, self-managed or anti-authoritarian, but which embody anarchism more or less implicitly through their day-to-day, activist, and revolutionary practices.

Blanche de Castille

Exercer le pouvoir au féminin (1226-1252)

Given the exceptional position held by Blanche of Castile, widow of the late Louis VIII and mother of the new king, powerful woman, within Latin Christendom for nearly a quarter of a century, the anniversary of the start of her ‘regency’ seemed to us a fitting occasion to highlight recent advances in the historiography of Blanche of Castile. This conference therefore aims to shed light on his reign – from the scale of his personal domain to that of Latin Christendom – and his life’s journey, from his Castilian origins to his final resting place in the abbeys of Maubuisson and Le Lys, and indeed right up to the present day.

Turning-Points and Perceptions of the Past in Germany, France and Western Europe since 1945

The conference aims to examine the far right’s relationship with time from a Franco-German and European perspective. It is divided into two parts: the first explores possible periodizations for this political movement after 1945, and the second examines its ideological and discursive relationship with time.

Research on the Displacement of French Document Collections in Europe (1930–1950)

In June 2027, La Contemporaine will host an international symposium dedicated to the study of the displacement of documentary collections across Europe, including France, between the 1930s and 1950s. At the crossroads of historical studies, book history and provenance research, this event aims to document and analyse the trajectories of these documentary collections, whether or not they were subject to spoliation. An overview of similar research in other countries and of the challenges posed by the documentary processing of collections will complete this analysis.

“In medias res”. Intermediaries of Domination (Northern France, the British Isles, 9th–13th centuries)

Following a first conference held at Cerisy in 2024 on social domination in Normandy (11th–15th centuries), this new conference aims to analyse how human intermediaries contribute to maintaining various forms of domination – whether seigniorial, princely, ecclesiastical, or urban. Situated between dependence and delegated authority, they play a central role in the concrete exercise of power, but also in the production and legitimation of social order. Through their actions and behaviours, these intermediaries shape or impose this state of affairs and help populations to agree to this domination.

Associationism: history, practices and legacies (19th–21st centuries)

Cadernos do Arquivo Municipal Nº 27

This dossier aims to bring together original scholarly contributions that deepen our understanding of associationism in its multiple dimensions, privileging approaches that combine methodological rigour with empirical and analytical breadth. Proposals may be based on specific case studies or comparative analyses and should critically engage with the nature of associationism and its impact on contemporary societies. Contributions drawing on unpublished primary sources or offering innovative reinterpretations of well-known documentary corpora are particularly welcome.

Senecta ista iuuenilis est, senecta ista uiridis est

Crossed perspectives between youth and old age in sources of Greek and Latin languages

At a time when debates are intensifying on the reversal of the age curve in Europe and, more broadly, in the Western world, the notions of “youth” and “old age”, considered as social categories, strongly resurface. However, these categories—for which consensual definitions may be lacking—are far from neutral.

Reflecting on the richness of poor cinemas around the world in the 21st century

This symposium aims to put into global perspective the aesthetic and economic issues as well as the analysis of the creative and distribution processes that were at the heart of the study days devoted to low-budget cinema in France, which took place in 2024. Without romanticising the lack of resources, how can we define the theoretical, practical, political, economic and aesthetic contours of these ‘poor cinemas’ in a contemporary international context? What specific filmmaking processes ensure its existence? What original film forms emerge from it? What parallel distribution channels do these films require to be created and defended?

From America to France: Beaumarchais and the experience of Revolution

In 2026, as the United States celebrates 250 years of independence and takes an increasing aggressive stance toward Europe, the Museum of the French Revolution – Domaine de Vizille and the LUHCIE laboratory at Grenoble Alpes University are organizing an international symposium aimed at rethinking the revolutionary origins of Franco-American relations through the figure and writings of Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (1732-1799). This reinterpretation has been made possible by the recent acquisition by the Bibliothèque nationale de France of Beaumarchais' voluminous personal archives, as well as by the unprecedented digital publication of his entire surviving correspondence and manuscripts, undertaken as part of the collective and interdisciplinary program @rchibeau (2024-2029).
