Summer School - Early modern

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.

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.

Seminar - History

Beauvoir Webinar Series

The Beauvoir Webinar Series were originally conceived by their first coordinators (Gina and Marine) as an open space for expression accessible to all, while also serving as a site of resistance to the multiple hegemonic dynamics that permeate the academic sphere and, more broadly, the social field.

The Diplomatic World in Paris, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries: Cultures and Networks

Sources held outside France

This one-day online research workshop is part of a program led by the Centre de recherche du château de Versailles (CRCV) devoted to the social, material, and cultural history of foreign diplomats in Paris during the early modern period (from the Treaties of Westphalia in 1648 to the end of the French Ancien Régime in 1792). The program aims to shift the focus toward the individuals who keep diplomacy running day to day, from ambassadors to secretaries, from nuncios to residents, without neglecting their entourages, wives, families, and domestic staff. Its objective is to examine their sociability, material and symbolic cultures, and the networks they weave within urban and courtly environments.

Economic Regulation and Informal Economies in the Medieval and Early Modern Periods

La 14^e école d’été d’histoire économique se propose d’aborder le thème fondamental de la régulation qui englobe pour les économistes l’ensemble des règles explicites ou implicites qui organisent et encadrent la production, l’échange et la consommation. La notion englobe ainsi la question de la fixation et de la formation des prix, les contrôles de qualité et de quantité ainsi que la mesure de la valeur. C’est par conséquent une notion qui englobe l’ensemble de la sphère économique. Son existence entraîne, par antithèse, l’existence d’une sphère informelle, qui échappe ou tente d’échapper à toute forme d’organisation ou de contrôle.

La refondation de l’État, une nécessité aux variables multiples depuis l’Antiquité

Autour de la contemplation de l’œuvre du Pr. Hugues Mouckaga

Il entend croiser les approches historiques, sociologiques, juridiques, philosophiques et politiques pour mieux comprendre les logiques, les temporalités et les justifications qui accompagnent la restructuration des États dans le long terme.

Gender and Feminist Perspectives in Southeast Asia

Thematic issue, Moussons No. 49

This issue of Moussons invites a collective examination of gender relations, feminist mobilisations, and policies promoting the rights of women and gender minorities in Southeast Asia, by exploring their translations, tensions, and effects across different scales. This issue aims to contribute to a situated and decolonial reading of gender policies in Southeast Asia, with a particular focus on interactions between global dynamics and local configurations, between normative institutions and collective mobilisations, and between colonial legacies and contemporary transformations. It seeks to foreground the plurality of feminist and gender-minority voices and epistemologies in the region, by supporting the translation and circulation of work produced in Southeast Asian vernacular languages into French or English, in order to foster an inclusive intellectual dialogue.

Feminist Utopias at Work

Reorganise, Redefine, Abolish

Although feminist utopias have been the object of an important body of work especially in the literary field, the specific paradigm of labour within these experiments and imaginaries has received only limited attention. The purpose of this conference is to explore to what extent and in what ways labour (both as a site of oppression and emancipation) serves as a paradigm in feminist utopia-building. We will use the concept of utopia both as a reflexive tool for critique and as a heuristic tool for transformation.
